LAB0RER HAS BEEN HURT
WALL STREET AND THE NEW
YORK MONEY COMBINE.

Cleveland, Oct. 23.-1n his annual
address before the Ohio Bankers con
v%ention today President John S. Red
er OF Dayton, spoke in part as follows:
Times of financial disaster i~nevita-
bly, follow those Of great prosperity.
Prosperity has been with us and is
with us, but who can ~foretell when the
dark clouds of financial panic will be-
gin to gathere on the now clear hori-
Zon.
There are dangers, grave and
threatening and it becomes the duty
Of him who would conserve the pres
ent condition of things to be prepared
to meet them.
"One of the greatest dangers lies
in the Wall street stock gamble. 1t
is true that under our laws they have
the right to exist and that men who
hazard fortunes can say to us that it
is no ones business if some tender lamb
chooses to wander into the VOLTS den
and be f1eeced. But it is more than
a mere gamble aggregation, less than
a reputable financial clearing house.
They have it within their power to
thrust a panic upon us, which involves
the prosperity of the whole country.
And when it m they rush to the
United States treasury for aid, and
get it. Why should these bulls and
bears be accorded this any more than
the steel trust.
"The money trust of New York is
another trust we have to face. It ex-
lists and is SO powerful that even Wall
street bows to it's will. It's existence
was shown a few weeks ago., when it
placed it's hand upon an incipient
panic in the street and checked it. 1t
stands back of Wall street and is ever
more dangerous than the street itself.
The banks of New York cannot control
the stock market, and we insist that
they do not throw the burdens of a
panic upo us by ~suspending payment
while they have u money by millions
tied up in their vaults.
The increase in the number of
trusts is not an unmixed good. To the
country bank they are especially dan
gerous. The local concern which was
both depositor and borrower, now be-
comes part of a system, when alb
sorbed, whose banking is done at the
main offices. Both kinds of trade is
cut away from the small banks, while
investment in local stocks is not pos
sible.
TRUSTS have hurt labor, too, and it
is wise to organize for protection.
Within proper bounds organization is
beneficial and only becomes arbitrary
when it insists on the right to direct
the employment and discharge of men.
Their union for proper hours and fair
wages is legitimate and proper"

NO WORD FROM BANDITS,
Weather Such That captives Of Miss
Stone Must Quit Mountains.

Constantinople, Oct. 23.-Cold rains
L falling in the district where the
brigands who abducted Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the American missionary, are
concealed and a prolonged stay in the
mountains is believed to be almost i'm
possible, even for the brigands. Hence
it is considered likely that they will
hasten to release the captive as soon
as they can secure the ransom and
then dispense to their homes. No
word has come from the missionaries
today, though w. w. Peet, treasurer
of the mission here to whom they
would communicate is still hopeful.
Mr.. Peet is not expecting news until
he is asked to forward the gold, which
it is estimated will weigh between 300
and 400 pounds.

WITH Renewed ENERGY
SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT
TAKES UP HIS BURDENS

Washington, Oct. 23.-Secretary
Root resumed his Official duty at the
war department today, after an alb
sence of several weeks. His vacation
was interrupted and %saddened by the
assassination of President Mckinley
and the sorrow and excitement Incl
dent to that tragic affair so affected
the health Of Secretary Root that he
was compelled to seek several weeks
rest and recreation in the mountains.
His system was badly run down from
owe work and his physicians prohibit
ed his return to Washington until he
had recovered his health.
His Office in the wal department
"a thronged with visitors throughout
the day. The secretary was in ex-
ceedingly good health and spirits and
Judging from appearances is prepared
to meet the heavy responsibilities de-
volving upon him.
There is an enormous amount Of
work awaiting Secretary Roots atten-
ton. This includes several questions
connected with the military situation
in the Philippines, the withdrawal of
troops from Cuba, and the establish
ment of the Cuban republic, the es-
tablishment of the proposed war col
lege, the establishment of perman-
ent camp grounds for the instruction
of troops of the regular army and ma
tional guard and the preparation Of
his annual report to congress.
One of the questions requiring his
earliest attention relates to the army
in the Philippines. 1t is for him to
determine whether existing condi-
tons require that reinforcements shall
be sem to General Chaffee, or wheth-
er the army may be reduced without
impairing it's efficiency.
While the officials of the war de-
partment are watching with keen in
terest the developments in Samar
they do not anticipate that the out
break there will reach any serious
stage. Samar is an island which never
has been under civil rule but had been
controlled entirely by the military. 1t
is one of the islands mentioned in
General MacArthur's last report as
being in such a state as to require mil
itary supervision. 1t is believed at the
department that General Chaffee has
ample force to handle the Insurgents
in Samar. There is no present inten-
ton of increasing the force in the
Philippines beyond the number now
there. The troops to be sent to the
Philippines in the next month or two
will take the places of those whose
terms of enlistment have expired.

DISASTROUS STAMPEDE AT TEN.
PIE THEATRE, LOUISVILLE.
COT A SIGHT OF FLAME
In a Mad Effort to Reach the Street
Many Were TrampIed Under
Foot.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 22.-Hundreds
of people attempted to rush out of
the Temple theatre this afternoon be-
cause the cry Of fire was raised, when
a little flame was seen about the
polyscope machine.
In the scramble scores of people
were knocked down and more than
twenty were badly hurt, while it is
feared two or three will not survive
their injuries. 1t is remarkable that
many were not killed. The following
were seriously injured:
Opal Jennings, l. j.. Weatherford,
Mrs. Mary WEIGH, Mrs. Geo. E..
Schmidt, Miss Smith, Miss Kate Hob
er, two unknown boys about 10 ear
old; Mrs. Leona Arth, Mr.. Mcdowell,
Orma Pullism (colored), Frank
Blaecth, infant of B. Bernham, Mrs.
Mary Plunke, Edward Plupke -four
years old, n year old son of Mr..
G. H. Plunke, Miss Kate Hulger, Geo.
Meyer (aged 14), c. F. Schneider, and
Joe Fine, operator of the po%lyscope,
conscious.
1t was about $3.50 o'clock just after
the first act of "Tennessee's Pardner,"
and while the polyscope was being
gotten ready that the little flash of
flame came which caused the panic.
The many women and children, who
mainly composed the audience, made
a rush for the door. A panic seized
the gallery, and in a moment the oc-
cuDants were plunging down the stair
way in a heap or were taking a
swifter method of climbing down into
the auditorium proper. In their haste
many fell, landing on those below.
Several were badly hurt in this way.
Meanwhile those who had retained
their presence Of mind, had gone to
work to stop the mac rush. The ush-
ers and theatre attaches acted with
great GOODNESS. The band played, and
Charles T. Bates, a member of the
stock company, danced. This had
much effect in quieting those nearest
the stage.
A great crush occurred where the
steps come down from the gallery.
Here two crowds met and were pack
ed into a space not large enough for
half of them. All were trying with
desperation to reach the street, and
the weaker ones were soon knocked
down and trampled under foot. The
crowd literally rolled down the long
flight Of stairs.
Every patrol wagon and ambulance
in the city was required in hauling
the most seriously injured to hospi-
tails or their homes. There was no
damage from the fire.

STEAMER ISLANDER.
Finding of Commissioner Who Con-
Quoted Inquiry.

Victoria, B. G., Oct. 23.-The com
missioner and assessors appointed to
inquire into the loss of the steamer
Islander this morning gave out their
finding. They censure Pilot Leblanc
for keeping the ship at full speed af-
ter having e floating ice some>ten
minuts before the accident; condemns
the custom of leaving the bridge of
any steamer in charge of only one Of
icer, and find that there is no proof
that the loss of the Islander was due
to the intemperance of the master and
others.

OPPOSITION TOO WI TING FANG.
His Conservative Countrymen Regarc
Him With Suspicion:

Pekin, Oct. 23.-There is strong op-
position among conservative Chinese
officials to WI Ting Fang, Chinese
minister at Washington, retaining a
foreign mission. Those who take this
view consider that his popularity
abroad is a proof that he is not suf-
fciently loyal to the interests of
China. 1t is probable that he will be re-
called and given a position on the new
board of foreign affairs, where his
linguistic and legal attainments may
be utilized under the eye of the gov
eminent.

ED ANIMALS DESTROYED.
BLAZE IN PACKING PLANT
Chicago Firemen Go to Rescue and
at Last Accounts Fire Was
Under Control.

- AN~o y 80 AAAA !
dollars worth Of buildings and slaught-
cred cattle were destroyed by a fire
which broke out in the plant of the
G. H. Hammond Packing company,
at Hammond, Ind, tonight. At mid
night four buildings had toppled over
in ruins and the flames were rearing
high above the dismantled walls and
threatening to destroy ten structures
that remained standing. The Ham
mond fire department was utterly un-
able to handle the fire and aid was
sent from here and South Chicago.
At midnight the following buildings
were in ruins: Export beef cooler,
four story brick and frame structure,
containing thousands of head of
slaughtered cattle; cold storage ware
house for cattle; beef slaughtering
house and sheep slaughtering house.
Besides these half a dozen other
buildings occupied as residences by
the officials of the company and a
brick structure used for general Of
fees were also destroyed.
AS Don as the fire was discovered
n engine company in Hammond,
quartered half a mile from the fire.
rushed to the scene hut was helpless,
as a high wind was blowing and sent
a shower of sparks upon the unprotect-
ed buildings on every side. Nearly
everybody in Hammond flocked to the
fire and bucket brigades, hundreds to
the squad, began to fight the fire. De
spite their willing work against the
flames the big sheep slaughtering
house caught fire and the beef slaught-
er house and cold storage house for
cattle "a also burning a few minutes
later. Then an appeal was sent to
Chicago for help. Several engines
were loaded on cars and a detail of
Chicago's best firemen were started
for Hammond at the rate of As miles
an hour over the Pennsylvania road.
When the Chicago forces arrived
they found -four buildings in flames.
The sheep and cattle slaughter houses
had been entirely destroyed and the
last portions of walls tumbled down
as the men were disembarking. The
cattle warehouse was already gone
but the export beef cooler, the larg-
est building in the plant and the place
where the fire started, was still stand
ing. The firemen seeing there was no
chance to save the burning buildings
devoted their energies to checking the
advance of the flames.
Roofs of three of the other build
ings in neighborhood caught fire from
flying sparks, but after two thirds of
the walls of the burning structures
had tumbled down, the flames were
kept under control.
At 12:45 o'clock the fire marshal
said he was confident there would
be no further spread of the fire.
It is not known how the fire started
Over 1000 employees held positions in
the departments destroyed.
