Pope Plus X has called off negotia-
tions in the Philippine islands between
the vatican and the United States gov
eminent regarding the sale of the land
held by the friars and the removal of
the native monks from the island. Mgr.
Guidi, the Roman prelate sent to Ma
Mia as apostolic delegate to conduct
the negotiations, has been recalled to
Rome where he is expected to arrive
early in November in order that he
may be assigned to some European
nunclature. This step was not prompt
ed wholly by Governor Taft's promo
ton to be war secretaryship in Wash
ington, as another governor will sue
coed him and represent the American
government in the continuance of the
The general opinion in
Rome is that Mgr. Guidi's mission has
failed principally because he would not
accept the price offered for the friars'
lands by the American government,
owing to the claim of the religious or
ders interested that they are entitled
to a larger sum. 1t has been decided at
the vatican that hereafter Philippine
islands questions must be dealt with
directly by the pontifical secretary of
state and the government at Washing
ton, or, what is still better through a
special representative of the Holy See
to the United States from Rome.

A new Servian cabinet has been
formed with the following as its lead
ing members: Premier, Gen. Gruios
foreign minister Ardra Nikolics; in
terror minister, Stojan Protics: and
war minister Col. Andre Jevics. The
precise reasons for the kings asking
for the designations were not given,
but it was apparently due to differences
of opinion regarding the policy which
should be adopted toward the regicides.

A Chinaman named Wong Lung ran
amuck in Chinatown, Boston, Friday
night. He shot one fellow country
man to death and seriously wounded
others. A coat of mail was found
on him after his arrest and was COM
posed of several sheets of pliable steel
carefully woven together. covered with
fine silken texture and fitted with
shoulder straps. The assault is said
to have been unprovoked and unex-
pected, and the police believe that it
was the result of gambling dispute.

In speaking of the death of Sir
Michael Herbert at Salt Lake city last
week, U. S. Senator Kearns suggested
Sir Thomas Upton as next British am
bassador to this country. IF King Ed
ward would bring still closer together
the English and American people, he
will make Sir Thomas Upton his next
ambassador in the United States he
said: Sir Thomas Upton has done
more during the last fifteen months to
increase the good fellowship and gen.
uine friendship existing between the
American and English people than all
the men and women in the British do
minions He is one of the most pol
ished diplomats 1 have ever met and
one of the most successful business
men in the world. He would make
great success as ambassador from
England, and I hope King Edward Will
realize his opportunity"

Reports from poultry raising districts
say that turkeys will be unusually
scarce this year and prices higher than
for some years. As wet and rainy
weather means sure death to the young
turkeys, the damp and moist summer,
absolutely demoralized the infant tur-
key industry. Thanksgiving turkeys
this year will be luxuries, and the re-
tail price per pound may be 80 cents.

Japan has been sending many troops
into Corea, and a permanent occupa-
ton is expected. The London Daily
Mail says: The troops are intended to
erect telegraph lines, but it means the
occupation of Corea, which Japan will
probably refuse to evacuate till Russia
evacuates Manchuria. This means a
permanent occupation, as it is not ex-
pected that Russia will leave Manchu-
ria. Whether the step will lead to war
will depend largely on whether Russia
acquiesces or not in Japans move"
Japan explains that the movement has
no connection with differences between
Japan and any other power.

THE WESTERN FLOODS.

Although there has been practically no in
crease in the height of the Mississippi at St
Louis for several days, the delay in its sub
sidence has led to serious results. The break
ing of Ievees on the Illinois side made trouble
at Madison, Venice and north OF East st
Louis on Sunday and Monday. and the in
sufficient elevation of an embankment to the
south of it opened the way for a still graver
crisis Wednesday. The death list has been ap-
preciably enlarged by this latest disaster, and
MANY thousands have been made homeless
Perhaps some of the money which is being
raised in the East for the relief Of sufferers
from recent floods will be diverted to this new
scene of trouble Few contributors would COM
nlain If the scope of their charity was thus
broadened out II fewer people are in distress
along the eastern bank of the Mississippi than
in Kansas and Missouri, their need is OF the
same character.
Several interesting differences may be no.
ticed in the three principal scenes Of fnunda-
ton in the last fortnight. Both banks OF the
KaY at Topeka were included IN single

SOME IDEAS OF ANARCHY.

Tho Iahor meeting in Yonkers on Tuesday even
ing. where representatives of the unions naue
answer TO Mr. John c. Havemeyers series Oh queS-
tions developed some particularly lnlefes'liiS
theories Mr. J. T. Windell, of the tederatlon VI
Labor, speaking of the attitude or union 10 non
union workmen, said that 'scabs were 10 De
oo,,,narad IN anarchists who declined TO abide
nv law no matter how beneficial. Likewise
when asked if the unions would incorporate SO
that they might be held TO some responsibility
to fulfil their contracts and obey the law ne
declared that they would not. lie thought thae
such = course would put the unions in the power
of Judges owned by employers, ana that MI
noritv members of union when majority
favored a strike would be put III posltlon 10
sell out to the employer and then go into court
in his interests to secure interference Win lhe
plans of their associates.
This suggestion that employers would cor
runt trade unionists TO prevent strikes is not
without point in view of the pending charges
that the declaration of strikes has been made
an instrument for practising extortion on EN-
ployers 1t would seem as If irresponsible
power was quite as likely TO be used for cor
rupt purposes as power exercised IN COIL
forrity to law. But the more important ques-
ton raised by these declarations is of the rela-
tive sacredness of trade union law and the law
of State and nation. The 'scab' because he
does not abide by the law of a trade union-a
voluntary organization, which is perfectly ire
sponsible in its requirements; for instance, in
some cases forbidding man to perform his
duty to the State as a soldiers TO be consid-
cred an anarchist no matter how carefully he
observes the Constitution and the statutes of
his country. The union. however is to be con-
sidered as only doing its duty when it refuses
IN nj q
the country's law. 1t is not anarchy to refuse
TO abide by the laws made by the whole people.
But 1t is anarchy to refuse to abide by the
laws made by small section of the people.
The part is greater than the whole Trade
union law is more sacred than public law. The
walking delegate may appropriately say, Il
the State
But where does this lead? If one voluntary
association of a limited number of individuals
NAV outlaw a person who does not abide by
its rules, another may. In the case of rival
unions workman may be anarchist in
spite of himself as we have recently seen here
and In Washington. II the non-conforming

-b;oh ;s charged against Parks has been prac-
tised by the leaders of these unions 1t is lmpos-
sihle TO say. but the conditions OF the busf
ness with numberless contractors under the
necessity of completing work on time and ire
ouentIv lacking resources TO endure prolonged
contests offered special opportunities for extor-
fion and the extraordinary character of many
strikes and threats of strikes in these trades
suggests that the opportunities have not been
wasted.
Now that the folly Of sympathetic strikes IS
realized among the members of the building
trades. and more conservative counsels seem
likely to prevail perhaps it might be possible
to reach some such agreement between the
builders and their employees of various descrip-
tions as has worked so admirably in Boston for
several years. There terms of employment are
fixed by agreement for stated periods all ques-
tions in dispute are referred to previously con-
stituted board representing both sides and aided
by experts in the particular branch of the busi-
ness involved. Sympathetic strikes are avoided
and the cessation of work pending the settle
ment of differences prevented Such an ar
rangement must benefit both the builder and his
employe 1t is the workman who is the chief
sufferer from idleness in the course of even q
successful strike. He may comfort himself
with the thought that though his gain by new
concessions will not for months make up for
his money loss by idIeness and the demoraliza-
ton incident to it. yet he has benefited his
cause" and future generations of workmen by
his sacrifice. But If he can, from time TO time,
questions arise. secure all that fairminded
men think is just under the circumstances
without loss of time and money, he and his
cause" are in every respect the gamers. The
best friends of organized labor are those who
will counsel ii against letting itself be victim
lied by adventures or being plunged into any
such reckless rule or ruin policy as has for
some years made building in this city an enter
prise of certain vexation and uncertain profit.
