P. M. ARTHUR,
The Head of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers.
Drops Dead While Making
Speech at Winnipeg.

Chicago, July ia dispatch from
Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: p. NJ. Ar
thur, Grand Chief Engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, dropped dead at midnight
while speaking at the banquet clos
ing the annual union convention of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, which has been is session for
the past few days. Mr.. Arthur had
just arisen to respond to a toast and
repeated the words: ''lt may be my
parting words to many of you," when
he fell backwards and expired in a
few minutes.
Grand Chief Peter NJ. Arthur was
considered to be one of the few pow
erful labor leaders of the United
States. In the minds of many he
outranked Terrence V. Powderly
when the latter was in the heyday
of his fame as head OF the Knights of
Labor.
Mr.. Arthur was one of the labor
leaders who believed that a strike
was the last resort of laboring men.
In the labor troubles of the past with
which his org anization has been con-
nected, he did more striving to pre-
vent strikes than in encouraging
them.
By this course he succeeded in win
ming the confidence of important
railroad officials throughout the
country. He also held the conf
dence of the engineers whom he rep
resented. During the American
Railway union labor troubles of 1894
Mr.. Arthur was variously quoted as
being prepared to call out the engi-
neers of the country in sympathy with
the followers of Eugene Debs, but
when it became necessary for Mr..
Arthur to speak he discouraged that
reckless strike as much as possible
and in reality prevented the great
body of the engineers from taking
part in its workings. Mr.. Arthur
believed in arbitration and in the eff
fective working of committees which
are selected to hear and pass upon
all grievances arising between rail
way engineers and their employers
He represented a high class of labor,
and one which had less trouble with
employers than any other with the
Exception of the Typographical
| Union.

Beef Trust Cases are
Taken to Supreme Court.

Chicago, July 19.-The Chicago pack
ing firms made defendants in the
"beef trust" cases have appealed the
suit to the Supreme Court of the
United States. The six defendant
who took the appeal are: Armour &
Co., Swift & Co., Nelson Morris Com
pany, Hammond packing Company,
Cudahy Packing Company, and
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger. This is
the case in which the big six" at the
stock yards were enjoined from con-
tinuing the operation of an agree
ment which the court held to be in
restraint of trade.

ROOSEVELT'S
Big job.
In Cleaning Out Gross
Frauds in SeVedl De-
partmentS.
Millions of Acres of Mineral
Lands Disposed Of
by Fraud.

Roosevelt is having his hands full
in unearthing frauds, and Furnishing
their perpetrators in different depart
ments of the Government.
The latest disclosures are that the
railroads and other companies have
been buying up millions of acres of
coal and mineral lands, by hagrantly
dishonest methods, and number of
arrests have been made. Many land
have been dismissed
and some indicted, and two United
States Senators are said to be in
volved.
Another discovery is. that fraudu-
lent naturalization papers have been
sold all over Europe, and under these
thousands of immigrants have found
their way into this country, evading
the immigration laws. Immigrants
who have been detected with these
papers, are sent back on the mex,
steamer.

SECRETARY Hay announced to the
Government of Russia the fact that
a protest against the cruelties per-
petrated on the Jews at Kishiniev,
had been presented to our Govern
ment, and that it would be forward
ed to the Russian Government, if not
Objectionable. The character of the
petition was set forth, so that the
object of the petition was gained as
certainly as If the protest had been
forwarded. The Russian Govern
ment said it would refuse to receive
the petition and would resent outside
interference in its internal affairs.
The fact that Russia had caused the
arrest of the ringleaders in the Kish-
iniev massacre, had called to account
the officers who had connived at it,
and had instituted wide spread re-
forms to protect the Jews, in differ
ent parts of the Empire, anticipated
the benefits expected to result from
the protest, and the matter was
dropped, without prejudice" on
the receipt of the Russian note. The
right of our people, or our Govern.
ment. or those of any other Nation,
to protest in the name of humanity
against the atrocities committed in
any Nation, has been many times
claimed and asserted, notably as long
ago as the days of Milton, when his
ringing protest as the Premier OF
England, against the slaughter OF
the peaceful Waldenses, awakened
Europe to the fact, that we are al
banded together as men, to preven,
piracy, and all forms of human
| atrocities.

HAY WON OUT
In MANCHURIA
Russia Forced to COnCede
Open Ports.

Washington, July l6.-The Man
churian question has been settled
satisfactorily to this government
Assurances have been received from
the Chinese government that it will,
in the near future, open as treaty
ports several ports now closed to the
worlds trade. The Russian govern
ment has conveyed formal assurances
to the United States government that
it will not in any way oppose such
opening.
1t is understood that now. follow
ing the Port Arthur conference, a
compact and responsible direction of
affairs has been arranged for, and
orders issued from st. Petersburg are
certain to meet with speedy and ex-
act compliance. Although no set
time is mentioned in the promise to
open the ports, it is believed that this
will follow soon after the Russian
evacuation in September.
1t may be stated that had the Uni
ted States government cared to pur
sue selfish policy in this matter, il
might easily have secured promises
of special privileges from Russia, but
Secretary Hay resorted to the broad
er doctrine of an open door in Man
churia for the whole world.
Respecting the two ports mention
ed as likely to be opened, namely
Moukden and Ia Tung Kao, it may b
said that both politically and from ;
trade point of view the latter port 4
apt to prove the more important
though the place is now so littl'
known that the name Is not to b
found on many of the best charts. /
lies on the right bank of the Yall
river not far from its mouth an
close to II 10 the Korean town o
lWeju, an important trade center
which undoubtedly will prove tribu
tary to the new port. As a port t
Tung Kao does not amount to much
but rapid development is looked 70
as soon as It becomes a treaty port
At first the United States govern
ment sought to have Takushan mad
the open port in this part of Mar
churia, but the Japanese favored T
Tung Kao and the United State
abandoned Takushan in favor of T
Tung Kao, when it appeared that tn
latter is open all the year rouns
while Takushan is closed by ice dun
ing several winter months.
Moukden Is at the head of navig;
tion on Lao river and is the poiI
from which caravans start throug
Manchuria and Siberia. 1t is at pre-
{ ent the largest mart in Manchuri
: tnext to Min Chwang.
