P1TTSBURG. Pa. June discus
sion of the report of the committee on

Presbyterian Synod of America.
The resolutions in regard to labor
unions were subjected to some argu-
ment, especially this one: We look
upon membership in many of these
unions as at present organized and con-
trolled as dangerous, and warn our
members against Joining any union
with al immoral obligation TO keep in
violate as long as life remains any
rites and regulations, the issue of which
is necessarily ignorant"
Several speakers, including ex-Moder-
ator Fosser, denounced labor unions,
asserting that they did not leave a
free field for labor, held their meetings
on Sunday and that they are pernicious
in their influence and wrong in prinei-
pal. The sign of a labor organization

FOUND DRUGCED
CAUSED RIOT OF COMRADES
VERY SERIOUS DISTURBANCE
JUST BEYOND THE PRESIDE

ESSARf TO QuEL THE
OUTBREAK.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-Soldiers
to the number of five or six hundred
INDUCED in a riot last night and
wrecked one of the many places just
outside of the Preside reservation.
There are many ~eontradicting stories
as to the origin of the trouble. The
soldiers of the Forty-sixth volunteer
infantry were mustered out of the SER
vice yesterday and the men given their
discharges and pay.
Most of the men had several hundred
dollars coming to them and they did
considerable drinking in the Preside
resorts.
A MAJ by the name of Morgan. OF
the Forty-sixth. was found unconscious
in the front of Mrs. Powers saloon.
Two Of Morgan's companions took him
TO camp for treatment. The doctor
pronounced it a case where drugs had
been administered. The news spread
rapidly about the camp and soon there
were a dozen or more men running to
Mrs. Powers saloon. They demanded
reparation for the ~drugging of their
comrade, but any knowledge of the af-
fair was denied. Two or three men
lounging about the place sided in with
the and ordered the soldiers
from the premises. They went back
for reinforcements and spread the re-
port that two of their companions had
been killed in this saloon.
A mob made up of members of the
F~orty-ifth and Forty-sixth regiments
then rushed pell nell through the Pres
lido gates to the saloon. which was en-
tirely wrecked.
The place caught fire from the over
turned lamps. One of the bar-tenders
was severely beaten and cut. There
were threats to lynch him when a
squadron of cavalry and provost guard
of sixty men from the Forty-fifth ar
rived and rescued him.
The efforts of the cavalry and guard
to disperse the crowd were futile until
the fire department turned the hose
upon them. This and the entire guard
of the post helped to restore order.
A careful investigation of the report
that some of the soldiers had died
from drugged liquor proved that such
was not tie case. Morgan. OF the
Forty-slxth regiment, was the only
man whom it is thought might ha@s
been the victim of a drug.
An investigation of the riot will be
made to-day by the police and military
officials.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The
Times says:
"A company with a capital of at least
$4,000, 900 is being organized to build
another ship building plant on the Del
aware river. The promoters of the COM
pany claim that $4,000, 600 has already
been subscribed and that they have op-
toned a plot of ground at Chester. Pa,
where it is proposed to erect the plant.
One of the leading factors in the
new concern is State Senator ]. e..
Sproul, of Delaware county, a son-in-
law of the late John Roach, who repre-
sents the largest investors. Interested
deeply in the company and in fact one
of the principal capitalists in it is a
man who is n of the officials of the
Bath Iron Works. Maine, but whose
name is withheld at this time.
1T is said the formation of this new

LONDON, June 1.-The officials of
the United States embassy inform the
Associated Press that the matter of
granting a passport to the Filipino
who applied for one yesterday, had to
be referred to Washington, as it was
the first time such an application had
been made by a person of this nation
ality. The Filipino desired to travel
in Russia, and though the applicant
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States in Spanish and English,
the embassy considered it advisable to
submit the matter by cable to Washing
ton, as it was frequently done when
passports were requested. The embas-
sy is now awaiting a reply. The ap-
plicant was quite contented and thank
ed the officials of the embassy for the
action taken.
WASHINGTON, June LIN answer
to his application for instructions,
Secretary Hay has directed Ambassa-
dor Choate at London to issue pass
ports to the two Filipinos who appear
ed at the embassy yesterday Gas resi-
dents of the Philippine Islands, and as
such entitled to the protection of the
United States"
The decision upon this point is of
Importance. as having perhaps some
bearing upon the status of the people
of the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Guam. A year ago the decision was
reached to regard the Porto Rieans as
entitled to the protection conce, ed by
an American passports, but a formal
decision of the test case was prevented
through the withdrawal of the appli-
cation. The Foraker act determined
the right of the Porto Ricans as ''citi-
zens of Porto Rico" to the protection
is now held that the Spooner law con-
veys the same privilege to the inhabi-
tants of the Philippines.
The United States statutes prohibit
the issue of passports to n but Amer
lean citizens. But these later acts, the
Foraker act and the Spooner act, i'm
pose obligations in their turn which
may be regarded as qualifying the or
iginal act. and may enable the governs
ment to avoid a decision upon the
question of the American citizenship
of the islanders. At any rate. the cir
cular instructions now in formulation
which will be sent out to all United
States diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives will direct them to issue not
certificates, but genuine American
passports to the islanders.
