The Quarrel Over Manchuria.

In unmistakable terms Japan has
given notice to the powers Of her strong
objection to the treaty regarding Man
churia, which Russia desires China to
sign, Consul G Geperal Vi Goodnow, Dc at
Shanghai, osbled Secretary Hay today
that tho proposed treaty had again been
submitted to tho Chinese emperor, and
Russia had demanded its signature. He
added the suggestion that tho United
States join with Japan and Great Bri-
tain to protect tho Chinese government.
Mr.. Goodnows suggestion will not be
adopted by the president, as it has no
intention Of foroibly Interfering in
China, but it is learned that Japan COR
templatos making vigorous opposition to
the ratification of the Manohurian con.
vention. TO meet the objection Of the
powers, Russia modified the treaty in
several important particulars, but even
as modified tho convention is not satis-
factory to Japan, nor is it acceptable
as shown by the exchange Of notes
that has occurred between the Tokyo
and othor governments, to any Of tho

CAN LOAD A TRAIN
FIFTY MILES LONG.
Forty.Four Gushers Spout a Mil.
lion Barrels Of Oil a Day.

Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 1.-During
the week just closed nine gushers were
brought in. This is decidedly the big
gest week in the history of the field.
During the month nineteen spouting
wells were completed.
The bringing in of wells does not con-
stitute all the development, however,
for several miles of pipe lines have been
laid, a dozen large storage tanks CON-
pleted and several more begun. Twen-
ty more big steel tanks, having a ca
pacity of 3S, 500 to $4,000 gallons, have
been contracted for, and several OF
them are now under course of construc
ton.
The week had its tragic side in the
four deaths resulting from the break
ing loose of one of the gushers. Forty
four gushers have been completed.
At a conservative estimate these
wells " i'll produce a million barrels Of
oil within twenty-four hours, enough
to load $500 tank cars, which would
make a train fifty miles long. The
daily shipments now average eighty
five cars.

The Man With the Butcher Knife.

DIR. Rexford, the Columbus clergy
man, who advocated the opening of the
State Fair on Sunday, said in the
course of his remarks: ''We Do Not
Want The Man With The Hoe" in
America. Is it possible, that he is
blind to the fact, that he and those who
are fighting with him to break down
the Chriftian Sabbath, by encouraging
Sunday excursions and Sunday shows,
that rob thousands of laboring men of
their one day of rest in seven, are shap-
ing the destines as far as they can, to
make every laborer "a man with hoe?'
Has he read the dispatches from New
York where the butchers are battling
with their employees for one days
rest in seven? Is the imam with the
butcher knife" any more desirable
than the man with the hoe? This is
a tremendous question, and the Doctors
who would lay this burden of seven
days work upon the laboring man,
and yet say they do not want ''the man
with the hoe" in America, fail to COM
prehend the question at issue, and
their words are meaningless.

man Talks.

BY Leased Wire to the Lima Gazette.
New York Aug. 30.-Gustave Klae-
sen, who was helmsman of the battle
ship Texas at Santiago, and for whom
the Judge Advocate of the Schley court
of inquiry has searched two continents,
was found today. Klaesen is employed
as elevator man in the Seney hospital,
in Brooklyn, and lives at number 302
Bridge street. He is a patient also of
the hospital, where he works since he
suffered rupture from the concus-
sion of a Pinch gun in the battle OF
Santiago.
1.-THE Texas was never in any danger
of being rammed by the Brooklyn" he
said, ''nor did the Brooklyn interfere
with the fire of any other vessel. II
she had not made that loop, she would
have been caught between the enemy:
ships and destroyed.
1.-THE man at the helm of the Brook
lyn couldn't have turned that wheel b.
accident, for if the wind had turned tn,
wheel one way and the helmsman haC
turned it another the loop could no
have been executed.
'When the action began the Ney
York was not in sight. When tn

Oregon next. Then came the Texa:
The New York was nine miles ava
and during the action did not use on
ounce of powder.
"When the Brooklyn signaled tina
the enemy had surrendered, the ORE
gon signalled in turn to the Texas, an
the Texas tried to signal the New Y Yorl

BUTCHER SHOPS CLOSED.
Journeymen See That New York's
Sunday Law is Enforced.

New York, Sept. 1.-The new law
compelling butcher shops to remain
closed on Sunday went into effect to-
day, and fight to have the enactment
declared valid will be commenced. To
see that she measure was properly en-
forced, the Benchmen's Association,
which is the organization of the jour
neymen butchers, had men patrolling
the streets and watching butcher shops
in every part of the city. There were
hundreds of pickets out, and as result
about dozen arrests were made.
In some instances the prisoners were
fined from 50 to s..
The boss butchers who are opposed
to the law have retained counsel
Their attorney announces that he will
attack the constitutionality of the
measure when the matter comes up in
the court of special sessions.
The employing butchers who oppose
the law claim it is most arbitrary
and unreasonable one, in that up to 1C
o'clock in the morning people can buy
cold meats and other edibles at del
catessan stores. They claim that Gov
ernor Odell signed it under misap-
prehension, thinking that it was favor.
ed by the butcher shop proprietors a:
well as the journeymen's union. The
former claim that IS per cent of the
men running meat business are op
posed to it.

Peach Crop Breaks all Records.

Nelsonville, Ohio, Sept. 1.-The
peach crop of the Hooking valley will
eclipse all previous ones this season
Fruit growers and commission agents
say they never remember anything to
compare with this seasons output of
the delicious fruit. Half bushel bas-
kets of fair sized freestones of good
quality are being sold on the streets
here for 10 cents. Car loads are ship
ped daily of the choicest, while hun
dreds of bus >hels of peaches are being
made into peach brandy every "a hours.
Farmers whose trees were not trimmed
and who have no distillery are feeding
their cattle and hogs with the fruit,
which, owing to the large crop and
corresponding low price for even fancy
fruit, cannot give their peaches away.

Our Young Republicans.

The college man is becoming fac
tor in our political life, and the Repub-
hcan party is the first to utilize his in
fiuence for the advancement of the
principles of that organization. 1t is a
notable fact that the great majority of
college students are Republicans, and
scores of those who enter with a pre-
dilection for Democracy, speedily
change their point of view. 1t has
been said that a broader education
makes Republicans of the young men
before whose eyes the possibilities of g
career are just opening, but be that as
it may, it is true that eight in ten of
the young students enter college Re-
publicans or become so in short time

Stockton, Cal, Aug. 3O.-A special
train of about 40 carloads Of potatoes
will leave here for the middle and

raised on the river islands west of this
city and towed here on barges. The
demand for potatoes and cabbage
throughout the middle states is large.

carloads will be sent there from Stock
ton and vicinity. Local dealers are
paying from s15O to SLIGO a hundred
pounds for potatoes on the river bank.
