Sir Robert Hart, commissioner of Gus
toms in China:
do not think that we are any nearer to a
solution to-day than we were before the
trouble. The acceptance of the peace nego-
tiations will not really advance the situation
in any way. for China is for the moment
at bay, and will sign anything. Nor have
/ at all a high opinion of the terms laid
down by the powers. Some of the condi-
tions are futile and unnecessary and much
has been omitted which should have been
inserted. l look on the proposed fortified
legation quarter as q very injudicious move
1t is a mistake strategically, politically and
socially. Strategically because, however
strongly such a place may be fortified the
Chinese will be able to capture it if they wish
to; politically, because a legation is in theory
sacred ground and it should be our purpose
to make the Chinese understand that it must
be so in practice.
We ought to throw the onus Of protecting
the legations on the Chinese government and
take measures to see that they protect them
Socially it is a mistake because the presence
of such a stronghold in Peking will cause
relations between the white men and the
Chinaman to be more strained and unsatis-
factory than ever. The failure in the policy
of western natioEs in dealing with China is
due to the fact that no attempt is made
to treat the Cinnamon as rational being
He is slow, he is conservative, his methods Of
thinking and acting are not our methods but
he has his feelings and his train of thoughts
and If we would deal satisfactory with him
we must endeavor to understand him.
Whatever territory Russia may have ac-
uuired and whatever means she may have
adopted in occupying that territory, the sue
cess at Peking is not wholly due to China's
knowledge of Russia's power or to bribery
Russian officials always treat the Chinese
dignitaries with great courtesy and amiabil-
ity and the Chinese like their methods.

Toronto, June 3.-The annual conven-
tion of the international Association of

During his term the executive had ap-
proved of sc strikes, involving $3.50 ma
chinists, of which Al were won, 10 settled
on compromise and 10 lost. The locals
engaged in 246 strikes, involving 2,192
men. Two hundred lodges reported hav-
ing settled 759 grievances without
strike. Increased rate for over time was
obtained in 765 shops. The president
asked that the law be changed so as to
compel local unions before striking to OBJ
tain consent of the grand lodge. Regard
ing piece work the address recommended
either to accept it on condition that the
employer will unionize his shop or to de-
clare war against the entire system.
"a reduction in the hours of labor has
been our hope since the association
started" continued the president. "Up
to May l the number of shops working
less than ten hours per day was only
nine-hour movement will result in reduc-
ing the hours of labor for 10000 ma
chinsts''
President O'Connell promised to bring
in a supplemental repart on the strike
question during the convention. He also
recommends that the minimum monthly
dues be placed at rs cents, 35 cents Of
which is to be paid to the grand lodge. A
number of changes in the loan system in
surance, sick benefits and constitution in
general are recommended.

Special to The Journal.
Carver, Mimi, June S.-A cold-blooded
murder occurred here at 6:15 this morn
ing.
Andrew Taper, bartender, committed
the deed and Miss Rosa Mix, a hired
girl was his victim. Both were employed
by John Leonard, proprietor of the Balser
house, this village. The girl was 20 years
old and her parents live at Montgomery.
Taper used a large knife, and cut two
large gashes in the girls throat and one
in her left shoulder. He then went to the
river and tried to drown himself, but
failed.
He returned to the house, saw the girl
lying on the floor in a pool of blood, and
then started off down the park road with
the marshal after him. He is now safely
behind the bars in the county jail at
Chaska.
Jealousy is supposed to have been the

PROBLEM OF THE In consequence OF re-
cent decisions of the
PHILIPPINES. supreme court, 1t is
more than likely
that the president will abandon the plan
to substitute civil regime in the Philip
pines in place of the military on July /.
Investigations which have been made by
the secretary of war and attorney gem
eral have about convinced them both that
the establishment of civil authority would
at once put the Philippines on the same
footing as Porto Rico, and that no tariffs
could legally be collected without spec
ial act of congress. The president believes
that the supreme court decision does not
now apply to the Philippine tariff, a dis
tinction being made on account of the
fact that a condition of war exists in the
Philippines. The formal establishment Of
civil government would alter the status
and all customs collected after that date
might have to be returned.
Figures obtained to-day from the war
department show that the customs rev.
enues in the Philippines are averaging
more than half a million dollars month
and are rapidly on the increase. For
two months ended Feb. % they amounted
to 81, ,455, 1894. This is an increase of
over 100 per cent over the revenues for
he same two months year ago. The
Ter. al revenue collections bring the
-aceipts up close to million dol
lar. order to avert the necessity of
calling ngress in extra session it is be-
lieved it will be advisable, if not neces-
sary, to postpone the formal announce
ments of civil regime. The matter will
be gone over at length at tomorrow S
cabinet meeting, which may decide the
course to be followed.
