GERMAN EMIGRATION.
The KnOttiept Problem Which Con-
fronts Berlin Colonial Congress.

The KnOttiest Problem Which Con-
fronts Berlin Colonial Congress.
Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE cause of Ger
man emigration is the knottiest prob
lem with which the colonial congress
here is dealing. The emigration section
spent most of it's sittings yesterday and
to-day in warm discussions of the po-
litical and social conditions of Ger
many that drive forth people to seek
their fortunes in the other lands. Prof.
Title, chairman of that section, attrib-
uted the emigration solely to economic
reasons. emigrants being numerous
when times are hard and
fewer when Germany is prosperous.
The task of the colonial society
and the government was TO direct
emigration to countries where the Ger
man would retain both his political and
economic tie to the fatherland. The
emigrant going to the United States
or to the British colonies, where civili-
cation was equal to Germany's, was
lost to Germany. because he was imme-
diately absorbed into his adopted coun-
try.
Prof TILES views were subjected to
destructive criticism. 1t was affirmed
by Bremen shipping men that half the
emigrants passing through that port
left GERMANY because they wanted q
freer political and social atmosphere
and would not go to the German colo
MES because they could not escape
compulsory military service there. nor
the vexation of exacting civil and po-
lice control.

ORGANIZERS SENTENCED.
Violated Order of Federal Court and
Received Punishment

Bristol. Tenn. Oct. 1.-THE case Of
the United States against Edward
Guerrant was decided in the Federal
Court at Abingdon. Va, to-day. Guer-
rant was sentenced to eight months
in Jail. The prisoner was a union labor
organizer with headquarters in Indian
apolis, and as such violated an order
of Judge Henry G. Mcdowell of the
Federal Court by entering the premises
of the Virginia, Iron, Coal and Coke
Company to organize labor, when the
affairs of the company were in the
hands of receivers appointed by the
United States Court.
Two other men, Weber and Haddow,
union labor organizers, were sentenced
to six months Imprisonment by Judge
Mcdowell a few months ago for a sim
liar offense. but both were later par
doned by President Roosevelt. Since
the release of Weber and Haddow
they are charged with having again
trespassed on the lands of the iron
and coal companies, and their case Is
set for hearing before Judge Mcdowell
on Monday, the 18th instant.

STRIKE REGION QUIET.
The Valley Tranquil and Troops
Have Little Work to Do.

The Valley Tranquil and Troops
Have Little Work to Do.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 11.-Another
week of the coal mine workers strike
closed to-day without any incident
worthy of note.
It was extremely quiet throughout
this valley. and the troops had little
work to do. Some of the coal COM
panies' superintendent assert they have
made a slight gain in the number of
men employed since last week, but also
admit there have been a few desertions.
The shipment of coal is still going on
in small way.
There were no new developments at
strike headquarters. President Mitch
ell arrived from New York early in
the day and had nothing to say re-
garding his trip. He felt that it was
better for all concerned that nothing
be said at present.
Mr.. Mitchells attention was called to
the letter of Vice President Wilcox of
the Delaware and Hudson Company to
the President in which he asserts that
the miners union is an Illegal organ
ization. The strike leader hesitated to
say anything for a moment and then
replied;
1.-THE miners union is organized
along the same lines as all labor unions
in the country. If the miners organ
ization is illegal so are all the unions,
and say our union is not illegal"

ISSUES ADDRESS.
American Federation of Labor
Comes Strongly to Miners Aid.

American Federation of Labor
Comes Strongly to Miners Aid.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE American
Federation of Labor, through its execu-
tive council to-day issued an address
TO the public, appealing for financial
and moral aid for the striking anthra-
cite miners and denouncing the atti-
tude of the mine owners, on whom the
appeal says must rest the responsible
ity for the hardships resulting from the
coal famine.
The address is in part as follows:
1.-The strike of the miners is now in
It's tWenty-third week. That the strike
occurred was entirely the fault of the
presidents of the coal companies: that
the strike has continued to this day is
entirely due to the contempt which the
presidents of the coal companies have
Tor the people of our country, and the
untold sufferings which all may en-
dure.
No offer to settle the strike could be
fairer than that made by the miners
representatives at the conference with
President Roosevelt. The operators
naughty arrogance, brutal, domineer-
ing spirit, blasphemous assumption of
divine wealth proprietorship, shocked
the civilized world, and aroused the
honest indignation of all lovers of JUS
tice and fair dealing.
What more could the miners do and
maintain their self-respect and not for
felt the respect of their fellow men,
than their willingness to submit all
matters in dispute to a commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, and
when that was refused, to leave the
entire controversy to Mr.. J. P Nor
gan, one of the men largely interested
with the operators?
There has never been a time, either
before the strike or since it's inaugu-
ration, that the miners have not been
entirely willing to have the questions
involved in the miners claims investi-
gated and adjusted by any disinterest-
ed persons"
The appeal then suggests that relief
committees be formed everywhere to
solicit financial add that the wages
earned between 10 and II o'clock each
Monday morning, the miners hour
be contributed; that clergymen make
special pleas to their congregations,
and that the press solicit contributions.

No Chance of settlement IN Pros
pect Preparations Are Being
Made 10 Protect the Business of
the Cumpany-GOvernOr Issues
Proclamation.
New Orleans, Oct. u.-While martial
law has not been declared and will not
be until conditions demand such ex-
treme measures. the city is TO all in
tents and purposes under military rule
and it has had a wholesome effect. The
expression Of firmness and determina-
ton in the Governors proclamation has
restored a feeling of confidence in the
authorities and made the strikers more
sullen than ever.
All the members of the To-
cal militia are ready to respond
to the call to arms at a moments no
tice,, and troops from the country par
ishes have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness.
No effort was made to run cars to-
day, and 1t is the general impression
that the first attempt under the new
conditions will be postponed until Mon
day.
ITO the People of New Orleans Dur
ing the past two weeks your city has
been in condition of unusual and grave
excitement and of frequently recurring
causes for apprehensions of tumult by
mobs and bloodshed has ensued. This
condition has depressed trade, arrested
public intercourse and the peaceful pur-
suits of the population. The greatest
forbearance has been vainly exercised
INxr nd
made to remove every cause or pretext
for complaint. The time has now ar
rived to bring this abnormal condition
of affairs to q close and by firm ana
vigorous means to re-establish order
and tranquility and the supremacy of
the law.
81 therefore request all peaceable
citizens not to congregate In crowds
on streets and thoroughfares and l
urge upon them to discontinue all un-
due excitement and acts of violence
and to make known to officers intrusted
with the administration of the law any
breaches of the peace.
81 hereby declare that the people of
this city must, and shall be, protected
in the full enjoyment of all their con
stitutional rights and privileges. All
the power vested in me by the con-
stltution and laws of this state shall

and the protection of the lives and the
property of the city.

ENGLISH CHURCH CONGRESS.
Candid Discussion as to the Bible
and the Methods of Teaching Its
Truths to Children.

Truths to Children.
London. Oct. 1.-THE English Church
Congress, following so closely on the
death of John Kensit the anti-ritual-
list crusader, and all the bitter feel
ings which that somewhat tragic event
accumulated, could scarcely have been
expected to be a peace conference, and
TO the normal disagreements which eX-
list between the high and low sections
of the church an unexpected bone of
discord has been added. This consists
in an outspoken criticism of the BIZ
ble's infallibility. The discussion had
none of that academic tone which is
so often associated with English and
American discussion of the so-called
German school of thought.
1t was an excellent plea from well
known men for rational teaching of
the Bible to children, so that when
they grow up they will not discard the
inner meaning of Oriental imagery as
they did the tales of Santa Claus"
DR. Wordsworth, Bishop of Sails bury,
opened the discussion and Rev Alex
ander Kirkpatrick, regius professor
of Hebrew at Cambridge and canon of
Ely, followed boldly declaring they
must not regard all parts of the Bible
as being equally valuable.
Rev. Edgar Gibson, prebendary of
Wells and chaplain in ordinary to the
King, compared the Bible to Shakes
peares mythical character of Macbeth,
around which Shakespeare built up a
great human document" So, other
writer's. he asserted, took up certain
tabled incidents and built around them
the great truths which made religion
what it is. The clergy was wrong in
going on teaching the Bible in the old
way. The church had nothing to fear,
but had much to gain from the new
criticism.
Sir A. Short, master at Harrow, said
the cheap press had rendered it impos-
sible for the people to read the Bible
as did Cromwell's Ironsides. He be-
lieved the majority of school teachers
adopted an uncandid attitude before
their Biblical classes, which was NOR
ally unwholesome and scientifically in
correct. Such treatment of boys mere
ly led the pupils to easy disbelief in
later years.
Rev. DR.. King raised a great con-
troversy by saying the Bible could no
longer be regarded as the standard of
morals.
DIR. Alexander, bishop of Derry
quoting Christ, reminded the congress
that all revelation is progressive.

SHOT TO DEATH.
Merchant Killed by Masked Bur-
glars and Son MOrtaIIy wounded.


Lexington, Ky, Oct. ia. B.
Chinn of the firm of Chinn & Todd, dry
goods merchants in this city, one of
the most prominent business men in
Kentucky, was shot to death in his
home by two masked burglars at $3.50
a. m. to-day. His son, Asa, who
heard the noise, rushed to his fathers
rescue and opened fire on the burglars
through a closed door. The burglars
returned the fire and Asa was perhaps
mortarly wounded. Citizens and po-
lice are searching for the murderers,
but no clue has been found.
The battle in the hall was a sharp
one. So close were the burglars to
Asa Chinn that the powder burned his
face. His room is near that of his par
ents and he had scarcely gotten to
sleen when his mothers screams
aroused him. The burglars stood at
the bedside of Mr.. and Mrs. Chinn,
and striking a match, covered them
with their revolvers, demanding money.
1t was by the light of this match that
Mrs. Chinn saw their green masks.
Her impressions of the personal APP
pearance of the men is very hazy. A.
B. Chinn, the murdered man, was a
deacon in the Central Christian Church.
He was 6S years old.

Trenton, N. J., Oct. 11.-Justice Van
Sickel to-day filed in the Court of Err
rors his written opinion in the case of
Miriam Berger against the United
States Steel Corporation that was de-
cided short time ago in favor of the
corporation. On the point raised by
Mrs. Berger that j. P. Morgan e. Co.,
who received $1O,OO0,OOO commission

Individual stockholders cannot
question the judicial proceedings and
corporation acts of directors if the
same are within the power of the cor
poration, and are not unlawful or
against good morals and are done in
good faith In the exercise of an honest
judgment. The manner in which a duly
authorized plan is carried through is
part Of the business Of the corporation
and in the absence Of fraud or bad
faith is not the subject of judicial con-
troll to any greater extent than other
business of the corporation"
