COMFORTING SERMON
According to This Teacher S25 Per
Month Is Enough for Workmen.

CHICAGO, Nov, 2t,-"That no man
has right to bring into the world
more children than he can properly
support, and that no pareuts, however
wealthy have right to bring children
into the world and so train them that
by any possibility they may become
dependent on Others" were two propo-
sltions emphasized by Prof. ], Scott
of the Northwestern university in an
address at the First Congregational
church in Evanston last night.
The chief burden Of Prof, Clark's ad-
dress was the possibility Of all men
and women becoming financially inde-

on salary of $500 year, an unskilled
American workman could keep a fam

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-Ex- Chinese

Francisco the following farewell to the
American people:
"People-It is nearly six years ago
since | came here and during my resi-
dence In America I nave found 1t very
pleasant. On the whole I have been
received In very kind and courteous
way by The American people. the high
est officials and all.
Before leaving this hospitable shore

carry with me very pleasant remem-
brances OF my stay. | am glad to
notice that the friendly relations be-
tween this country and mine have al
ways been cordial and within the last
few days closer than ever before. and
hope this state OF things will continue.
"As to the future Of China politically
and commercially / will say / have
been away from ny own country near
ly six years. and. although people
think It is not progressing. but IL
standing still, when | go back I will
see many .hinys that are new to me.
China Is progressing. 1t being such a
large country, with such large pop
ulation ami with people educated and
brought up in such a conservative way
you cannot. although the idea of re-
form, is taking root, expect 1t to make
such a sudden ana radical change as
YOU might think possible n smaller
country; but nevertheless, China has
made reasonable reforms within the
last few years in many ways. Her
commerce Will be developed and will
be increased with that Of this coun-
try. The Pacific coast, in particular,
would reap a harvest by having al
larger trade with China"

MRS. TINGLEY IS INDIGNANT
REFERS TO THE OPPONENTS OF
POINT Iona SCHOOL AS
sKULKING ENEMIES

SAN DIEGO, Cal. Nov "a. Rather
Inc Tingiey OF the Point Iona Broth
erhooi spoke at .he Isis theater be-
fore large audience. Her remarks
we're largely with reference to the con-
troversy over the II Cuban children de-
tanned at Ellis island, New York. She
declared that Mr.. Gerry will never be
able to touch these children and that
they win come to Point Iona. She
added:
Now I will speak Just a moment
about Mr.. Gerry. because I am very
much interested in him. Mr.. Gerry
says 1t Is his intention to make war
upon this institution at Point Iona.
1t is his intention to send to San Fran
cisco and have the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children in that
city cooperate with him in this work,
and many more things Of this nature
which You will presently see published.
Now / cannot believe that there is
another Gerry in the state of Califor-
mia. 1t would be impossible for me
to believe such thing.
Our enemies are not open enemies
like the Spanish were. They are skulk-
ing behind the scenes. They are here
and they are there. They are every
where and they are eating out the
heart OF the nation and time will
prove 1t. 1 can assure you that it is
terrible thing that in the twentieth
century in free America that IL Gu
ban children can be detained without
rhyme or reason and that by Gerry
board of three people a woman's
character can be torn down without
a chance of refutation and even her
lawyers objections expunged from the
reports. Let this experience be a les
son for us and for all American
people"

General Strike Prevails in City
and Clashes Occur Between
Police and Men.
ARE ANGRY WITH OFFICIALS
Mayor and Cabinet Member BE.
lieyed to Be Standing in
With Strikers and No
Arrests Are Made.

HAVANA. Nov. 4.-As a result of
conflicts today between the police and
the men on strike here two strikers are
dead. and 80 other persons are wound
ed. The police have the rioters well
under control tonight. The strike be-
came general this morning by the cal.
ling out Of all the trades In sympathy
with the cIgarmakers. All tradespeople
struck except the motormen and con-
ductors of electric cars. Trouble be-
gan by the holding up of electric cars
hy strikers. whose wra tn naturally was
directed against the street railway en-
ployes.
Several cars were wrecked and some
motormen and conductors injured dur
ing the riotlng.
The mayor then took drastic meas
ures and issued an edict authorizing
the chief Of police to kill, If such ac-
ton should be necessary, to preserve
order. A similar show Of force early
in the morning undoubtedly would
have prevented trouble, but now the
strikers had become emboldened and
frequent clashes between them and
the police occurred in all parts of the
city.
Senior Tamayo has resigned the office
Of secretary of the government. but
President Palma will not accept his
resignation until the strike is settled.
The public blame Tamayo for active
participation in the strike and say he
ana the mayor are responsible for to-
days riots as he had openly express
sed sympathy with the strikers.
The situation Is grave. The police
will not make arrests owing to the
pronounced sympathy Of officials with
the strikers. A mob Of strikers drove
the employees of the western railroads
from the trains this morning. Nol
bread or meat is on sale, and a con-
tinuanee Of the strike will cause much
suffering to the poor.

ed TO BE Weak.

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2.--some
observers OF the situation do not be
lcye the accession OF the Grand Duke
Vladimir. uncle of the czar to the
throne. In the event OF the czar's able
alton and the death OF his brother. the
Grand Duke Michael. the heir pre-
sumptve would be unpopular, and
they do not credit the report that the
advent 10 supreme power Of the ylad-
imlr family would materially alter the
existing state OF affairs. as the masses
are ignorant In regard to every czar
true character and the educated peo-
nle attach merely subordinate i'm
portanec thereto. The possible effect
ot the Drnconian system under d
sterner ruler on the prospects OF pos
sibic revolutionary movement Is re-
gardad as Idle speculation.
The latest reports about Philip, the
mcsnerlst. Sho IL said to have the cZar
completely under his influence are that
h els "a former French physician. a ma
turailzed American, and that he has
been in Russia for about year. living
in the homes OF two Montenegrin prin-
ces who married Russian wives. II
Is added that the czar granted Phillip
the right to practice medicine In Rus
sia and to wear the epaulettes Of mil
itary surgeon of rank Of councillor
OF state. which equals that OF a general
Finally II is asserted that the court
physician DR.. OF, went TO Llvidia and
succeeded in persuadlng the car to
forbid phllllp to practice on the cZar-
Ina. and the departure Of theminlsters
OF war, OF interior and Of finance from
LividIa was interpreted as sign that
Philips influence was broken. 1t is
also said that these ministers jointly
presented report 10 his majesty dis
crediting Philip. that the car de-
Tended Philip and resented what he
class,d as interference with his per-
sonal affairs. but finally yielded.
This is looked upon in some quarters
as evidence that the optimistic state
ments on .he subject of the czar's mem
tai condition require limitation. Num-
erous persons who have returned from
Llvidln within the past three days as
sert that the czar has been moody and
dIsgusted because his early hopes Of
a happier regime In Rus
siawere frustrated by the reactionsts,
whose intimidation imposed a dlstaste-
ful role upon him. His majesty was
also said to be in genuine fear that his
abdication would be demanded which |
was strengthened by the sudden return |
Of the Grand Duke Michael and the lat

BRIGHTW00D TRACK
AN ORDERLY PLACE
Mr.. L. D Sale Takes Issue With Com
plant of Mr.. Blagden to
Commissioners.

Speaking of the complaint of Mr..
Thomas BIagden against the Brightwood
track. Mr. /. d. Sale said yesterday:
Mr.. Blagden has been endeavoring
TO abolish the race track at Brightwooc
for many years, and during that period
he has written numerous letters to the
District Commissioners declaring the
Brightwood track public nuisance.
The officials of Brightwood are law
abiding men. and every lover of the
light harness horse and light harness
sport knows what they have done to
elevate racing at that track. Some of
the most respectable people in Wash
ington patroniZe the sport at the track,
and the police records will demonstrate
that the meetings held at the track
are conducted in an orderly manner.
am credibly informed that only one ar
rest has been made on the track or
in the Immediate vicinity within the
past eleven months.
Mr.. Blagden charges in his communi-
cation to the Commissioners that liquor
is sold on the grounds. This is true,
and it is legally sold. Liquor is also
Soiu at BrlSntWOOu proper, ana at over
a half dozen other places along the
Seventh Street road as far as Silver
Spring. In reading Mr.. Blagden's COM
munication one would suppose that all
the liquor drunk along the Fourteenth
and Seventh Street roads was sold over
the bar of the Brightwood Clubhouse.
and that all of the drunken and disor-
derby characters who go up and down
these roads owed their condition to the
Brightwood race track and the Bright
wood bar.
las far as the charge made by Mr..
Blagden of fast driving is concerned, /
will state that no street or road in the
District is better patrolled on race and
other days than the road leading from
the Brightwood race track. Mr.. Blag
den proposes to the Commissioners that
they practically confscate the property
of the Brightwood Trotting Association
by declaring the land on which the track
is located vacant in anticipation OF the
extension of Sixteenth Street through
the track This demonstrates how much
regard Mr.. Blagden has for the rights
of Others"

Mr.. Warner Stutler, Superintendent OF
The Street Cleaning. recently called the
attention of the Commissioners to the
bad condition of the alley In square 367.
bounded by Ninth. Tenth, y, and o
Streets northwest. He said the alley is
in such condition that the wagons kept
there are constantly being broken, and
If the same could be paved it would
save the street cleaning department
many repairs. the stables Of the depart
ment being located there. He recon-
mended that the east alley running north
and south, and that part of the south
alley, running east and west. and end
ing at the east alley, be paved.
The Health Officer has reported that
his department is of the opinion that
# could not properly certify at the
present time that the proposed i'm
provements are necessary to public
health.
Capt. II. c. Newcomer, Acting Engi-
neer Commissioner. has recommended
that the paving Of the alley be includ-
ed in the next list OF work advertised
for execution under the assessment sys-
TEN. The existing pavement is of cob
bic stone, and in bad condition, he
states, and should be replaced by paw
ing of more modern type in the interest
Of public comfort and safety.

CANNOT OCCUPY SIDEWALK.
Not Consistent With Public Conven-
fence to Grant the Request.

On the recommendation of Capt. II.
c. Newcomer, acting Engineer Commits
sioner, Messrs. 5. J. Meeks' Sons, of 622
Street northwest. will be informed
that it will not be consistent with pub
lie convenience to grant his request TO
occupy the sidewalk in front OF the
premises named for business purposes.
Street between Sixth and Seventh
being a business street, the sidewalk
extends from the curb to the building
line, and Captain Newcomer believes
that the use of the sidewalk as pro-
posed would either be in the way OF
pedestrians or OF the regular traffic in
