ATTACKED BY M0R0S.
One American Soldier Killed
and Two Wounded.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The war depart
ment has received cablegram from
General Chaffee, dated Manila, Septem-
Der 6, stating that an attack was made
on the United States troops at Mailing
Falls, seven miles from Camp Wears, by
Moros September l. First Lieut.. VIM.
NJ. Parker, Eleventh infantry. and two
soldiers were wounded. and one soldier
killed.
Geenral Chaffee also says: Have au-
thOrized Brig. Gen. Samuel S. Summer
to move troops into Maciu country and
exact promise Of good behavior in fu-
ture from datos and followers. Troops
have been attacked twelve times since
May 2. with loss to us of four killed and
twelve wounded. We have remained all
the time quiet. seeking friendship; in
action, self defense only"
The last part of Gen. Chaffee's dispatch
evidently is intended to inform the war
wholly upon the defensive in the Moro
country. His instructions have been to do
nothing which would provoke conflict
with the Moros and the position of the war
department is that If there is a conflict
it must be justified by the ag9ressions Of
the MoroS.
Some time ago Gen. Chaffee asked for
authority to attack the Moros Immediately,
but he was advised the department wished
time it has long been the belief of officials
of the department that an aggressive
campaign in Mindanao is Inevitable and 1t
would not be surprising If there should be
a forward movement OF the United states
troops in a short time.

Indianapolis News: President Baer, in
his last statement of the coal operators
position says: I'VE are fighting the bat
tie of freedom for the individual and his
right to labor on his own terms" Not
ct all: he is fighting the battle for the
right of the individual to labor on Mr..
Raer's terms. What he means is, 1--WE
are fighting the battle of privilege for
the employer to dictate to the employee
all the terms of employment" The ease
with which men of the Baer sort wrap
themselves In the mantle of altruism
and stand forth as the champions of
human liberty ought to be instructive
for the very pregnant reason that for
the most part they are sincere. AS Mr..
Baer views the situation. he (acting for
all the owners) owns the coal mines,
and has the absolute right to say on
what conditions any man shall work in
them If a man accepts his terms he
calls this an agreement. But Mr.. Baer
loses sight of the fact that conditions
really free. For example. a man that
has learned the coal mining. business
can virtually do nothing else. and as a
coal miner he is at the mercy of men
like Mr.. Baer. When it comes to the
matter of logic. society assents to the
condition that the man that we call the
owner shall have the absolute right to
say on what terms a man may work for
him But as society has grown larger,
as interests have been combined, and, as
in the case of anthracite COAL where
there is virtually monopoly, a larger
question comes in like the question of
eminent domain, and that is that the
employer in such cases can not be 1.-THE
whole thing" He must recognize that
the man that does the manual labor
has right to a voice in fixing the terms
Of work. If they can not agree, then q
higher power than both must step in
and solve the question. To this conclu-
sion the anthracite situation in this
country is pointing with increasing

This party has been out on recruit
ing tour of the principal cities of the
United States since January, 1901. The
party came here from ST Joseph where
Is people were recruited from an appli-
cants' list of 81 names. The officers an
tfcipate recruiting a larger number of
people at Topeka than from St Joseph.
During half the forenoon today oyer
10 applications were received.
This is the first time naval recruit
ing station has ever been opened in To-
peka," said one of the officers to a re-
porter for the State Journal today. THE
department came to the determination
that it would be advisable to open an
office here and accordingly we are here
for this week.
The naval recruiting officers say that
they find that the applicants from the
middle west section of the country are
the IuOSt HSaltnys anu tOdI DIS RUE
about so per cent of the applicants in
this territory are enlisted. At st. Louis
a few weeks ago 1876 were enlisted from
400 applicants. Here, however, a great
many of the applicants did not return
the second time for the medical exam
ination. About so per cent of the APP
plicants examined were enlisted. At
Kansas City there were 213 applicants
and 106 enlisted. The officers expect to
enlist about thirty in Topeka.
The naval APPRENTICE is first sent to
port, furnished with $45 worth of cloth
ing and is given salary of 50 per
month to begin with. The food is fur
nished free to each apprentice by the
government. Boys from Is to 10 years of
age are enlisted in this service. They
are kept at the school for ten or twelve
months when they are placed on one of
the government training ships and sent
for q five or six months cruise, which
includes many foreign countries. Fol-
lowing this training the apprentice is
placed on one of the government bat
tleships and promotion comes as fast
as each apprentice deserves. The orig
inal enlistment is for as many years as
is required to make the applicant 81
years old. The. first promotion which
makes the apprentice a second class ap-
and when he is made a first class ap-
prentice the salary is raised to $21.
The officers are also recruiting lands
men. Landsmeh are from Is to 25 years

| ship Immediately and without the pre-
liminary training which the appren-
| tees receive at the training school
They are eligible to promotion as fol-
lows, as well as the apprentices:
