TO SETTLE LABOR DISPUTES
Senator Hanna Addresses Civic Fed.
eration-Futtlity of Fight
ing Unions.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The golden rule is
the panacea for settling labor disputes,
according to Senator Mark Hanna, who
made spirited address for peace in the
industrial world before the Civic Fed
GRAFTON convention here Saturday morn
ing.
AS the senator poured out honey
phrases in praise of labor organiza-
lions the face of Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent Of the American Federation of La
Dor, beamed like the rising sun.
The bitter experience which Senator
Hanna went through during the strike
in the Ohio mountain regions in 1874, he
declared, had taught him there is a
better way than fighting, and that is con-
Citation. He made an eloquent appeal
to both sides for business methods and
fair dealing.
The convention was opened by For.
mer Judge A. NJ Waterman. Senator
Hanna was the first speaker, and he was
followed by w. L. Mckenzie King, labor
commissioner of Canada, who told of the
operations of the voluntary arbitra-
ton act in that country.
Marcus NJ. Marks, president of the Ma.
tional Association Of Clothing Manu-.
facturers, spoke on the High Minimum
Wage" while Samuel Gompers made a
general talk on the different subjects
that have arisen.

A New Candidate in the Field.

Miss Helen L. Chaplin consented
Monday to become the democratic
nominee for Superintendent of schools
Of Howard county. Miss Chaplin is
doubtless qualified to perform the
duties Of the office, aud she is popu-
lar young lady. This editor rejoices
to see the democratic prejudices brok-
en- down which have opposed bitterly
and persistently the enfranchisement
of women and the bestowal of pollti-
cal Office upon them, but Miss Chaplin
Is on the wrong ticket to win. E. A.
Wildman will be the next County
Observation-Disclosures Times.
The editor.of the Times forgets
that the ''democ ratio prejudice" were
broken down several years ago in this
county when Miss Elizabeth Almond
was the nominee for Superintendent
of schools against j. c. Webster. Then
again. in the recent nominating con-
test republican prejudices defeat ted
the lady applicant for the nomination
for Superintendent. Mrs. Adams
poses as leader in the political equal
ity movement and when one OF her
sex was entitled to the Times support,
it was denied. II the Times editor
was sincere in her political beliefs,
Miss Clink would have had her sup
port, and SO should Miss Chaplin. But
what better can you expect of a paper
that processes to stand for prohibit
ion principles and year after year sup
ports the republican party and its
mulct law.

FlFTEEN killed
IN A collision
Laborers on Their Way to Work
Meet Death in Awful Dis
aster in New Jersey.
FORTY OTHERS Are INJURED IN
The WRECK, SOME SERIOUSLY
Dead Men, with One Exception, Are
Italians Who Lived at Trenton
Gravel Train Runs Into Flat Cars,
Containing Almost 200 Men, Gauss
ing the Deadly Accident.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 19-Fifteen per-
sons were killed and about 40 more in
jured in collision which occurred Sat
urday on the Belvidere division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company near
Washington's Crossing. The persons
killed and injured were laborers who
were on work train and were on their
way to work at Washington's Crossing
to repair washout along the road. Four
teen bodies have been taken from the
wreck and one more body is known to
be under the debris. Only two or three
of those injured will be permanently
manned.
AS soon as the collision occurred a
special train was sent from Trenton
with corps of physicians and the dead
and injured were brought to this city.
The injured were taken to St. Francis
hospital. The dead men, with one or
two exceptions, are Italian laborers who
resided in this city, the others being
colored men. Their bodies were taken
to the morgue for identification.
Cars Are Telescoped.
Inc LTdlu bearing lHe men VINO were
killed and injured was made up of four
cars, two coaches, in which the men
were riding and two fiat cars in the rear.
The train stopped near Washington's
Crossing to receive orders respecting the
passing of the regular passenger train
While the train was standing on the
track it was run into from the rear by
a gravel train. The two fiat cars tele-
scoped the two coaches. There were
about 1870 men in the two cars. AS soon
as the accident happened the Italians
became frantic and made an attempt to
do bodily harm to the crew of the gravel
train. Word was sent to Trenton for
police assistance, but the men were
finally quieted by the foreman.
The railroad authorities here are ret
icent as to how the accident occurred
but it is believed that the gravel train
either failed to see any adverse signal
or that the flagman of the first train
failed to go back a sufficient distance.

WAR CLOUD THICKENS AGAIN
Negotiations Between Japan and
Russia at a Standstill.
Meantime Both Countries Continue
Their Preparations for Hostilities
-Mikado Demands q Treaty.

Berlin, Oct. 19.-The negotiations be-
tween Japan and Russia, according to
the view of the situation taken here, are
not making progress. Each side. it APP
pears from official information, will not
yield on the essential propositions.
Japan persists in requiring an agree
ment that shall now deltmit their re-
spective spheres of supremacy and
Japan declines to consent to the general
policy Of drift" under which Russian
influence will, the Japanese say, stead
lily bear upon Corea and edge forward
until the time is ripe for acquiring a
part of or the whole country. Japan, as
previously cabled from here, Is deter
mined, according to the German view,
to have a settlement with Russia by
treaty whereto they both must abide or
else-and the threat is ever in the near
ckground-hostilities will begin.
This is the danger in plain view The
Japanese government seemingly makes
no particular concealment from the
diplomatic corps at Toxic Of this atti-
tude, one impression being that japan
is merely playing a diplomatic game
and another being that the government
is in deadly earnest. Russia's even In
creasing military preparations in the
far east and Japan's nearly completed
equipments are regarded as pointing
either to settlement before December
or to hostilities. Japan's orders for war
material were placed in Germany year
ago and since then have all been deliv-
cred or are afloat. Four japanese Of
fcers who have been buying war ma
terial and supervising artillery con-
struction at Essen left Germany for
Japan last Tuesday.
Paris, Oct 19-Although the officials
do not take an alarmist view OF the Rus
so-Japanese situation, their latest adj
vices indicate renewal of its some
what serious aspect. The Russian adj
miralty has prepared for a concentra-
| tion of warships on the Mediterranean
station and at other European ports.
The reason for this is understood to be
the presence of japanese warships in
European ports, including two ships
which are about concluded at British
shipyards. The Japanese crew Of one
of the latter ships has already arrived,
preparatory to taking over the vessel.
The exchange Of diplomatic notes
continues at Toxic without definite re-
suits. The Japanese press, which for a
time was restrained by the government,
has again adopted belligerent atti-
| tude.

REPORT OF GEN. FUNSTON.
Review. Conditions in Department. OF
the acknowledgements and
Recommendation.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Gen. Freder-
lex Funston in his report on the depart
ment of the Columbia gives general
review of the conditions existing in the
department which includes the Pacific
northwest and Alaska. AS the result of
a personal tour of Alaska during the
summer, Gen. Funston suggests that
a different station be found for the
troops at Valdez because mountain
1000 feet high lies just south of the
post, which shuts off the sun for a
large portion of the day. At Fort Egg
bert, which is near the Arctic circle, he
found that the officers had cultivated
garden, in which they raised their own
vegetables. He says that the question
of maintaining all the military posts in
Alaska is one requiring more knowl-
edge of the policy and intentions of the
government than is vouchsafed to de-
partment commander before it can be
inteligently dealt with" At four posts
of the military telegraph line all the
available force is needed to maintain
the line. He recommends that Fort
Davis, near Nome, be abandoned, as
military authority is not needed there.
The people of the community, number
ing about 10000, are not turbulent, and
most of them, in case Of necessity,
could be called upon to support the civil
authorities. Gen. Funston speaks In
high terms of the signal corps which has
constructed the military telegraph line
in Alaska.
Gen. Funston recommends that a
large tract of land at American Lake,
near Tacoma, Wash, be acquired for the
purpose of drill ground and camp for
concentration in case of war.
