Effort to Form a Federation of All
Employers Associations and
Employees Unions.
AIMED AT THE UNITED STATES
WHOSE MANUFACTURERS ARE IN
vADING BRITISH TERRITORY.
Sugar Seeking Protection by
Asking that a CountervaiIiug
Duty Be Imposed.

LONDON, March 16.-John Burns, NJ. P.
Thos. Burt, M. p, and other labor leaders
are comforting in relation to the feasibility
of the proposed federation of the employ
ers' and employees unions, to be known
as the National Federation of Masters
Associations and Trade Unions. the OBJ
jects being to educate the minds of the
employers and employees concerning the
grave responsibilities which rest with them
in respect to the expansion of British trade.
to devise means to meet foreign COMPETE
ton, to send joint populations of capital
and labor abroad TO inquire into the condi-
tions of other countries and to provide a
federation where employers and employees
may meet on the same plane"
John Locke, late Conservative candidate
for Davenport, who is the leader in the
movement. has opened headquarters in
London and is receiving the support of such
widely differing public men as the Duke
of northumberland, Robert Spence Watson,
president of the National Liberal Fedora
ton, Lord Grey, Sir Charles Palmer, Sir
Christopher Furness, NJ. p, Arthur Grit
fith-Boscawen, M. p, and many others.
Lord Rosebery was approached in refer
ence to the scheme, but he replied he was
afraid it was too ambitious for him.
The preliminary work is being chiefly
confined to the iron and steel trades,
which, through fears of inroads by the
american steel trust. seem particularly
anxious for some organization which will
present a united front. Mr.. Locke said to
a representative of the Associated Press:
Il suppose it will take five years to get
the federation working. but 1 intend to
persist. L must confess to finding the great
est difficulty with the employers, who seem
strangely slow in waking up to the neces-
slty or strenuous steps to meet foreign,
especially American, competition.
with due respect to Lord Salisbury, his
advice to teach laborers French and Ger
man does not appeal to either the masters
or the men / have met as a solution. The
problem daily grows in seriousness" Mr..
Locke, though a wealthy %shipowner, is
devoting almost his entire time to the for
nation of the federation. Lord Grey will
likely be its president.

SURRENDER OF TRIAS
FILIPINO GENERAL WHOSE RES
TIGE WAS EQUAL TO AGUINALDO'S.
Macarthur Elated, for He Says the
Surrender Indicates the Final
Stage of Armed Insurrection.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE War
Department has received the following
cablegram from General Macarthur at
Manila, announcing the surrender of Lieu
tenant General Trias:
Mariana Trias, only lieutenant general
of the insurgent army, surrendered March
10 at San Francisco de Malabon, with nine
officers, 1893 well-armed men. Trias immed-
lately took the oath of allegiance in the
presence of several natives. This is a most
suspicious event and indicates the final
stage of armed instruction. The prestige of
Trias in southern Luzon was equal to Ag-
ulnaldOS s. General Bates and Coroner FRANK
d. Baldwin are entitled great credit for
persistent work bringing this about"
General Macarthur will remain in COM
mand OF the Philippines until the civil gov
eminent is established. That the War De-
partment Expects such n government to be
established within the next two months is
evident, as it had been determined that
General Chaffee will succeed General Mac
Arthur as commander of the forces in the
Philippines. General Chaffee and his force
in China will sail from Taku about the last
of April. He ranks General Macarthur and
would naturally be in command, but if the
civil government is not established in that
time General Macarthur will continue to be
military governor and commandant.
The Wal Department feels very confident
that civil government will be successfully
established and that the hard fighting is
practically at an end. The dispatch from
General Macarthur received to-day is re-
garded as very encouraging. No informa-
ton has been received at the department
either through military or unofficial chan
nels regarding Aguinaldo. but the impress
sion prevails that he is dead or has disap-
peared to some of the very remote islands
seeking a place of safety.

CAUSE OF THE DUEL.
VI. DE ROdays's I~nsinuntion Resented
by Count Boni.

The duel was directly the result of the
~slapping Of the face of NJ. De Rodays in
the library of his home by Count Boni be-
cause of the insinuations contained in the
following paragraph in the Figaro, Thurs
day: People nave been asking who is
the person NJ. Deroulede wished TO desig-
nate. 1t appears that he is a member of
Parliament, and II is affirmed that he is
the young deputy whose name is best
known. and who, on, the eve of starting
for America with his young wife, last week,
very Loyalty delayed his departure in or
der TO reply, if necessary, to the polemics
which may develop" Count Boni was ac-
companied 10 De Rodays's house by his
father. Marquis De Castellane, and NJ.
Moret. and slapped the editors face thirty
FIVE times. because he refused 10 promise
public retraction. De Rodays is sixty years
old and not over strong.
About a year ago Figaro, under the direc-
ton OF NJ. De Rodays, was publishing the
most drastic criticisms of the count and
his doings on the bourse, the turf and
elsewhere. When. about that time, he Wis
tied New York with the countess. Castel-
lane was roundly attacked by De Rodays,
who charged him with financial dealings
which would not have done credit to the
good sense of a bright boy of five. The
count was greatly eXasperated, and made
all kinds of threats To thrash De Rodays.
He promised that as soon as he returned
To Paris he would slap the face of the
editor, hide him. and perform other indig-
mites upon his person of a most severe and
painful character.
TO an of these threats De Rodavs re-
piled with "A laugh. He said that Boni's
wrath varied in direct proportion with
his distance from Paris. Far away IL
Was very hot: near by IL would be quite
cool. The editor, however. expressed his
perfect willingness 10 be slapped by the
count whenever the count presented him
self for this purpose. Castellane did not
make good his promise on his return To
France. He was busy with the court
proceedings brought by George Gould 10
clstrain him from using the wealth of the
ountes and was further annoyed by
suits OF Londo bric-a-brac dealers for

money due on goods purchased for the
adornment of the our-million-dollar palace
he had built in Paris. Then came the roy
alist insinuations. This aroused Count Boni
and the face-slapping act was finally per-
formed.
During the last two years two duels
and six threats stand 10 Count Bonfs
credit exclusive of to-day's affair. The
first, that with Turot. in June. 1898. was
a bona ide duel, in which Turot received
a bad cut on the neck. So was the affair
with Count Orlowski last year. A chai-
lenge to. the Prince of Monaco, because
the latter had offered the hospitality of
prince ignored the counts challenge, TO
his great modification, and also intimat-
ed that Boni was a spurious count. and
therefore not worth noticing. After the
jibes that followed this affair the Journal
Droits de lHomme announced that Cas-
tellane had fought a duel with Paul De-
iasco in Switzerland, because of a quarrel
over an actress.
