HOT SPEECHES AT COLUMBIA.
Capital and Labor the Theme of the
Addresses.

Columbia. S. c., Sept. 1.-THE larg
est Labor Day celebration ever seen
in this city occurred to-day. Between
1900 and 5000 people participated, and
not an arrest has been made. The
exercises were begun with the raising
of the United States flag over the City
Hall by the daughter of Confederate
soldier.
The parade formed at the capitol and
marched from there to the fair
grounds, where the speaking and sports
We're held. All the different unions
were in line, some in the regalia of
their orders. The most conspicuous
feature of the procession was the
members of the textile union, 1000 of
whom are now on a strike against the
mills of which w. B. Smith Whaley
is president. The children under ~
years of age, who work in the mills
eleven hours a day, headed the textile
division.
The speakers were the Governor
the Mayor of Columbia, Capt. w. w.
Lumpkin, and the adjutant general.
He touched on the relations of labor to
capital and equal rights to each.
Nothing inflammatory was said, but
straight talk was the order of the day.

said to deport all the Beers in the re-

SHOW BIG INCREASE
ARE ABOVE HIGH WATER
MARK
PARTLY DUE TO DROUGHT
Ninety-FOur Roads Show Receipts
That Are in Excess of July
Earnings for Three
Years Past.

wonderful showing has been mad9
by the railroad earnings for July. The
increase shown by ninety -four roads for
tn, month was S6,55l,5i0. This exhibit is
all the more remarkable when it is re-
memberCd that these increases follow
large gains fer the last three years, and
are compared with earnings that were
considered very large year ago.
The general opinion has been that the
Increases in earnings weie dde to
larger movement of grain, cattle and
hogs, resulting from the drought in the
West. AS a matter of fact, primary
markets for the four weeks in July show
a falling off of over 100000 bushels in
receipts of corn, and nearly 5000, 600
bushels in receipts of oats, offset by an
increase of about 100000 bushels in
wheat The cattle movement showed
quite a material gain. Hog receipts at
Chicago in July were 6S0, 202, compared
with 53S,1G7 in July last year. While some
Of the gain was directly due to the
drought. large part must have been pro-
dCced by expansion in business.
For instance, the New York Central is
not in the drought district. and it gained
$54S 70l. Neither is the Great Northern,
which gained $415,710, nor the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, with gain OF
$26l, III, nor the Canadian Pacific, which
gained 1852, $50 Louisville & Nashville in
the Wabash, $2O2 236. The gain on the
Missouri Pacific of $642 OC0 may have been
caused by an increased movement of cat
tie, but, as a whole, the increase seems
10 have been due 10 general causes rather
than to any one cause, which is clearly,
an argument against the theory that con-
traction in business has begun.
Earnings Of the Colorado & Southern
road for the year as a whole have
shown up much better than was al one
time expected. In the earlier months Of
the fiscal year some decreases in net
earnings were shown. These were due
to the heavy expenditures for improve
ments, which were charged to operating
expenses. This loss has been made up in
the last half of the year, and the Ngelve
months are ended with gross earnings of
$556,9OG larger than year ago. and an
increase of $175,379 in net earnings While
June is usually a short month, June of
this year was the best in point of earn
ings the company has ever had.
In the year ended June 80, 1900, the com
panY showed a surplus after all charges
and applicable to dividends of $245.344
which was equal to 2.S per cent on the
first preferred stock The increase for
the year just ended is equal to about 2
per cent on the first preferred, so that it
appears that the companys annual re-
dividend earned on the first preferred and
about three fourths of l per cent on the
second preferred shares.
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul earnings
for the first week in August, 1901, were
$777696 against $697 147 for the CORE
spending week last year, showing an in
crease of $50 548

which will lie in effect sept. to TO- were
taken advantage of to a large extent
by the general public. The rate for the

make the trip one way could buy
round trip ticket and save money in the
Operation.
st. Paul ticket brokers had men out
buying up all the return portions of these
tickets they could find. They could get
them very cheap and could afford to
take considerable risks with them. The
fact is that they did land office busi-

1t is understood that the secretary OF
the Twin City Passenger association has
been instructed not to Ouy up any more
of the tickets from the brokers to be
redeemed by the roads over which they

STATUS OF CHINESE.
Opinion Rendered by Attorney Gen

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA Attorney
General Knox, in an opinion rendered at
the request of the secretary of the treas
ury, holds that a Chinaman may engag
in the manufacture of goods for sale and
still be considered a merchant in the
sense in which the word is used in the
treaty and laws relating to the exclusion
of Chinese, where the mercantile part Of
the business, either wholly or in part is
the selling of goods so manufactured
The case under consideration is that of
member of a firm at San Francisco en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale of
cigars, and the question raised is whether
this Cnlnaman may be readmitted into
the United States as a returning mer-
Ghant. The attorney general holds that
ne is entitled to admission In the
course OF his opinion the attorney general
says that he does not think a manufac-
turer, as such, is entitled to admission
INTO the United States, nor is he disposed
10 think that bona ffde merchant is
any less merchant because he is also a
manufacturer.
me attorney general has also held that
all Chinese persons who have a right tn
be in the United States, as evidenced h1,
VaHd certificates of residence or reeistra
tlon, are entitled to pass from the United
states TO the Hawaiian islands and to
be protected while there by their regis
