CENTER OF THE STAGE
CHAMBERLAIN AND HIS TARIFF AGI.
TATION EXCITE GLASGOW.
Scottish Metropolis Will Turn Ont
Enmasse to Hear His First Speech
North of the Border.

LONDON, Oct. 5-Probably because of
Chamberlains preface to the fiscal
pamphlet written by c. A Vince, secretary
of his tariff organization, long notice of
which was cabled by the Associated Press
yesterday, receives scant notice in the press
this morning, and that not of a eompli-
mentary character. The Standard says:
"These few pages of rather angry rhetoric
do not enable us to form any fair estimate
regarding his proposals."
Chamberlains first speech on the absorbing
topic of the day has reached fever heat.
Over 5000 applications have been received
for seats next Tuesday night in st. An
drewS Hall, whose accommodation is only
5000. with the result that tickets originally
issued free are now selling a $40 apiece.
Writing in reply to correspondents in
quiry Mr.. Chamberlain says the idea that
fiscal reform would in any way hasten or
encourage the formation of trusts appears
TO him 10 be entirely without foundation.
No Cabinet announcements have yet been
made. The KingSwill hold a council for the
exchange of seals next Friday. The rumor
is current that the persistent delay in set
Ting the crisis is due to the indecison of
the Duke of Devonshire, who, it is alleged,
has sent his conditional resignation to Mr..
Balfour.
The Times this morning publishes
curious sort of apology for Mr.. Balfours s
concealment of Chamberlain's resignation.
1t says: I'VE are in position to affirm
that the proceedings at the Cabinet coun-
ell of Sept. IA made it clear to the other
ministers that Mr.. Chamberlain unable
to accept, himself, the policy laid down by
the premier. and that he might in conSe-
quence be expected to resign.

ARTILLERYMEN in CHURCH
HONORABLES OF LONDON AND An
GENTS OF BOSTON AT SERVICE.
Parade of the Two Organizations
Through Back Ray Streets to Trim
ity-WiIi Leave ON Tuesday.

BOSTON, Oct. 4.-The quietness OF the
Sabbath was stirred to-day by the sound
of martial music, as the Honorable Artil-
lery Company of London and their hosts,
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com
pany of this city, marched through some of
the Back Bay streets to Trinity Church
The services in that edifice had been ar
ranged by the British residents OF this city
and the parade included, beside the two
military bodies. those army and navy vet
Grams of the British service whose homes
are in this city. The line of march was
well lined with spectators.
The procession was under the leadership
of Lieut.. Col. G.. s. Courtney whose staff
for the day included many British officers,
members OF large number of independent
military organization of New England and
several officers of the United States army.
At the conclusion of the services the pa
rade reformed ard marched TO the Ameri-
can House, where the several organizations
were entertained at luncheon. Some MEM
bers of the visiting corps, including the
Earl of Denbgh. did not attend the services
at Trinity Church, but went to the Cathe-
dral of the Holy Cross with Mayor Collins
in the morning.
The two organizations will leave on their
trip TO the middle States and Canada next
Tuesday.

RIOT DUE TO ANARCHISTS
ONE MAN DYING AND ANOTHER IN
JURED AT BARRE, VT.
Attempt OF Anarchists to Break Up n
Socialists Meeting the Primal
Cause of the Trouble.

BARRE, VT. Oct 4-One man dying. an
other suffering from a serious but not nee
essariy fatal bullet wound and third un-
der arrest, charged with firing the shots,
is the outcome of the latest clash between
the Anarchists and Socialists of this city.
The feeling between the parties has been
intense for many months and conflicts more
or less serious have been of almost daily
occurrence.
Last night a number of Anarchists at
tempted 10 break up a meeting of Socialists
and precipitated fight, during which, it is
alleged, Alexander Garreto fired three
shots from a revolver, wounding Eli Corti
and Emilio Vochini. Corti, it is said, will
die. DIR. Giacinto Monetti Seratt editor
of the Socialist newspaper published in
New York, had been invited to address the
Socialists, some fifty of whom had congre-
gated in Socialists Hall. While the audi
ence was awaiting the arrival of the speak
er fifteen Anarchists. headed by Corti.
made their appearance at the hall and de-
clared that they would not permit Seratti
to address the gathering. During the fight
that followed the threat IL is alleged that
Garreto drew a revolver and fired point
blank at Corti, the ball lodging in the lat
ters stomach. The second shot went wild
and the third struck Vochni in the arm.
When the Anarchists saw their leader fall
they sprang upon Garreto and hurled him
down stairs to the street. The fight ended
only when a large detail of police had
reached the hall.
Dr. Seratti is detained as a witness and
on charge of oreach of the peace.

DUE TO LABOR TROUBLES
DECREASE IN EMPLOYMENT AND
WAGES DURING JUNE LAST.
Bulletin of the New York Department
of LabOr-Increase of Immigra-
tion-Demand for Servants.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 4.-The State De-
partment of Labor, in its quarterly report,
attributed diminution in the unprecedented
degree of wages and employment reported
in June almost wholly to labor troubles.
The lockout in the building trades of Man.
haitian and Bronx boroughs of New York,
1t says, overshadowed all other disputes of
the summer and threw several Thousand
wage earners out of work.
In general the bulletin holds that, eXclu-
sive of the building trades, New York in
dustries were generally as active as in the
summer of 1902, which was banner year.
According to the bulletin, immigra ton
this summer has exceeded even the record
breaking current of last year and indicates
the eagerness of the low paid laborers of
central and southeastern Europe TO enjoy
the prosperity which,. on the whole, still
reigns in the United States. The largest
contingents are still the Italians, Poles and
other races of southern and central Europe,
with low standard of education. Not
withstanding the great tide of immigra-
ton. the superintendent of the State free
employment bureau, in New York city,
states that at no time during the quarter
was he able to meet the demands for do
mestic help.
Prosperity is so widely diffused" says
the bulletin. that the servantskeeping class
is larger than ever before and has thus
created a demand that exceeds the supply

Identical Declarations of Intention to
Pacify Macedonia.

VIENNA, Oct. 4.-As an outcome of the
conference between the Car and Emperor
Francis Joseph at Muevzsteg the govern
ments of Austria and Russia have sent
identical kilograms to the ambassadors of
those countries in Constantnople The tele-
grams were couched in the following terms:
"You were recently instructed to declare
that Austria-Hungary and Russia adhere
TO the task of pacifcation which they have
undertaken and are resolved to perseyere
with the programme drawn UP at the be-
ginning OF the year, Notwithstanding the
difficulties hitherto opposed to its execu-
tion. For. indeed, while the one hand
the revolutionary committees have pro-
voked disturbances and deferred the Chris

on the other hand. the officials of the Sub
lime Porte entrusted with their applica-
tion have been generally wanting i'm the
necessary zeal and have not been imbued
with the idea which inspired these meas
ureS.
Both powers are united I'm the deternni-
nation to show that it is their firm resolve
TO insist upon the execution in their en-
urety OIL these reforms, which were ac-
cepted by the Porte and which cal

this connection you will receive detailed
instructions without delay
while the powers recognize to the full
extent the Portes right and duty To sun

rectlonary agltatloh OF the Macedonian
committee. they at the same time deplore
the fact that this suppression was accom-
panied by excesses and cruelties from
which the peaceful inhabitants suffered.
It, therefore, appears 10 them to be their
urgent duty to come To the assistance of
the victims of these regrettable occur
fences, and the aforementioned instruc-
tions will acquaint you with the details of
the humanitarian action which they deem
necessary with the object OF supporting the
inhabitants who have been deprived of all
means of existence, facilitating their re-

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The reports of the con-
fiict at Demir-Kapia between Turkish and
Bulgarian troops have not yet been con-
firmed. but the news is confirmed that the
insurgents have received severe check as
a. result of their operations i'm the Struma
valley, where after a decisive fight i'm the
open with the Turks the insurgent chief
General Zontcheff. was compelled to send
urgent messages for reinfOrcements.
Statements issued from the Turkish en-
bassy in London and dispatches from Con-
stantinople demonstrate that the Ottoman
government is greatly incensed at the num-
ber of Bulgarian officers who are leading
insurgent bands across the frontier from
Bulgaria. Several such officers i'm uniform
are said to have been killed i'm recent en-
counters. The direct negotiations between
Turkey and Bulgaria are making no prog
