TWO CHINESE PORTS OPENED.
Secured by Minister conger from
Prince Ching as to Open Ports.

Washington, Aug. T.-Minister
Conger, at Pekin, has secured writ
ten promise from Prince Ching to sign
on Oct. 8 treaty with the United
States, which will include a guaran-
fee that Mukden and Tatung Tao
shall be open ports.
THE MEANING.
Pekin, Aug. 1.-THE arrangement
made ty Minister Conger for the sign
ing of a treaty between China and the
United States, ends the stubborn re-
sistance by the Chinese, which for
some time promised to be successful.
Prince Ching made one defense after
another, until all were exhausted.
When the present settlement was
proposed, with the explanation that
China must presume that Russia in
tended to fulfill her evacuation agree
ment, Prince Ching reluctantly gave
in.
Tatung Tao is small port which does
not promise much business to attract
foreigners in the near future. Its
opening is mainly important as VIC
tory for the open-door principle: =

4 FAR-REAeHlNG DECISION.
Federal Judge in Arkansas
Knocks Out the Unions.

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. T.-Judge
Rogers, in the United States Circuit
Court, rendered decision today, sus-
tanning the demurrer of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in the labor
injunction case Of Boyer ct al against
that company In the written OPINION
Judge Rogers sustains every point
urged by Attorney Elenious Smith,
representing the defendant company,
holding that the company has the alb
solute right to dismiss employees be-
cause they belong to the union, or for
any other reason; that there can be no
conspiracy to do lawful act; that the
so-called black list may be maintained
and given out for the use of others.
The case resulted from bill filed by
Telegraph Operator Arthur Boyer and
others, alleging they were members OF
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
of America, local Lodge No. 3, OF st.
Louis, and that they had been dis
charged from the service of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Company solely
because they belonged to the union.
The bill sought to prevent the Wes-
tern Union Company from discbarglng
any employee because OF membership
in the union, and the ST. Louis Off
GERS of the Western Union from con-
spiring to that end, and to prevent in
reference of any kind with the union
and to prevent the Western Union
Company from maintaining black list
and placing thereon the names OF
those who might be discharged because
of being members of the union. The
Western Union Company demurred to
the bill, and this demurrer was sus-
tained by Judge Rogers, of Arkansas,
sitting in the United States Circuit
Court, today. Judge Rogers held that
the Western Union Company had the
absolute right to discharge employees
not under contractual relations with
the company, for any cause or with
ont cause; that like right exists on
the part of the employee to sever his
relations with the company for any
cause or without cause, that if con-
tract of employment is violated the
recourse Of the employees is at law and
not by a bill in equity, such as was
brought in this case; that there could
be no conspiracy to commit lawful
act, such as be held to be the dis
charge of the company's employees be-
cause of being members OF union;
that the company had the right to
maintain list on which might be
place the name of discharged en-
ployee and the cause of discharge, and
the list might be given others, pro-
vided it's contents were truthful and
it's circulation honest that if, as the
bill alleged, the union was formed for
moral and proper purposes, there
should exist no objection upon the
part of an employee to have his dis
charge based upon the mere fact that
he was a member of such an order.

JETT and WHITE CONVICTED.
Life Imprisonment Fer the Mur-
derers of Mareum.

Cynthiana, Ey.. Aug. 1.-THE juy
in the case of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White, charged with the assassination
Of James B. Marcun, at Jackson, KY,
returned verdict of guilty today, FIX
ING the punishment of each at:life I'M
prisonment. The verdict was returned
at time when there were but few
persons in the Court room. The only
attorney was County Attorney Web
ster. Tett received the verdict with
comparative Indifference and calmness.
White, who has been apparently under
severe strain during the trial. flush
ed up and his eyes filed with tears.
The verdict occasioned little surprise.
The only question which caused the
delay, it is said, was whether TO make
the punishment death or life imprlson-
ment.
Attorneys Blanton and Golden, for
the defence, were absent when the jury
came into Court, and Judge Osborne
sent for them and told them to make
their motion for a new trlaL The
motion was thereupon fled and the
Court took it under advisement.
When it was announced that the Jury

Court room, but it was quiet and or
derly, all the mountain men having
gone to their homes.
Col Byrd, who prosecuted the
prisoners, said he was disappointed In
the case, as he had hoped for ver-
dict ahixing the death penalty.
The case has been on trial almost
three weeks, having been begun July
"a. At the first trial at jackson, the
jury disagreed and it is believed that
the verdict today was compromise
with juror opposed to capital punish
mont. The friends Of Capt. B. L.
Even and others suffered greatly and
we're living in fear of their lives, are
greatly pleased. There have been
tWenty-seven lives lost within the past
Two years in the Hargis- -Cockreu
fend in Breathits County and this is
the first conviction. No arrests or
indictments had been made until last
May, when the troops were ordered to
jackson to protect the grand jury and
afterward the trial jury and witnesses.
Jett is still under Indictment, charged
with killing Town Marshall Cockrell.
Jett said last night the rope had never
been made with which to hang him,
but ne made no remarks today.

PLAYING At Being KAISER.
Teddy Roosevelt Reviewing Great
Fleet Of Warships from His Private
Yacht, the MayfIoWsr.
First Event of the Kind in our
History.

Oyster Bay, n. Y.,-For the first
time in the history of the country the
president of the United States today
reviewed and inspected, in time of
peace, a great fleet of United States
warships. The ceremony was a mag
nifcent spectacle. 1t was unmarried
by the slightest mishap until just at
it's conclusion, when the torpedo boat
destroyer Barry rammed the destroyer
Dectaur, fortunately, however, doing
little damage.
The incident was exciting. It occur
red just at the moment when the
president was receiving congratula-
tions upon the success Of the ma
noeuvers.
The first squadron of destroyers,
consisting OF the Decatur, Bainbridge,
Barry, Dale and Chauncey all under
command of Lieut., L. II. Chandler,
was approaching the Mayfower at full
speed. The vessels were in close for
nation.
Orders were signaled from the Deca-
tur to the other vessels to form a
wedge. In executing the orders, the
Decatur swung across the bow Of the
Barry. An instant later the Barry
rammed her on the starboard side. AS
the ships were running at speed Of
20 knots, the blow was tremendous.
The Decaur listed sharply to port and
seemed to be in serious distress. From
the Mayhower she appeared to be
sinking.
The Mayfower's boats were manned
instantly, but were not lowered, as the
Decatur was seen to right herself.
In a few minutes she hoisted signal
of "no serious damage" Later she
steamed alongside the Mayhower and
Lieut.. Chandler reported that while his
vessel had received bad stump on the
starboard quarter she was not materi-
ally damaged.
The injury was plainly evident from
the deck of the Mayfower. She had
been struck about half way between
her stern and midshap and large dent
had been made in her plates. The
starboard rail was damaged, but other
wise the vessel was intact. The Barry,
which had struck the Decatur glanc-
ing blow, had her bow crumpled by
the collision, but she was not injured
otherwise.
The accident put a sudden stop to
the manoeuvers of the destroyer
squadron.
Admiral Dewey ordered Lieut.. Chan
dler to proceed with the five vessels to
the Brooklyn navy yard where such
repairs as may be necessary could be
made quickly.
After the damage has been repaired,
the squadron will rejoin the feet and
continue the summer manoeuvers.

THE War IN MACEDONIA.
Turkish Reports of Recapture of
Krushevo and of Several Re-
pulses of the Insurgents.

Constantinople, Aug. 1.-THE i'm
perial troops have occupied hrusheyo,
twenty-three miles north of Monastlr,
which was recently seized by the in
surgents A force of 4,0G0 troops be-
sieged the place and bombarded it
with artillery.
The fighting with the revolutionists
is still proceeding ontside the town. /.
Consular advices from Mocastir and
Salonica endorse the belief that any
overt movement in those towns on the
part of the revolutionary committees
will lead to a massacre Of the Bulgarian
inhabitants by the Mussulmans.
DISPATCHES received by the Porte give
particulars of a number Of encounters
with the insurgents. The latter at
tackled the village of Gumenje, throw
ing bombs in it, but official dispatch
es say they were repulsed. The foreign
representatives have demanded from
the Porte protection for the consuls
and foreign residents at Monastir. The
grand vizier has promised effective
measures Of protection.
The Mussulmen in the disturbed
area are persistently demanding arms
and ammunition to protect themselves
against the Christians. This is con-
sidered dangerous factor in the..situa-
tion..
