WORSE THAN WAR.

Father Thomas E. Sherman, son Of
the late Gen. w. T. Sherman, denounced
organized labor on Monday evening at
the fifteenth annual dinner of the West
ern Society of the Army of the Potomac
in Chicago. Nearly 200 members of the
society, including Gen. F. d. Grant,
listened to him. lie said:
eThe threats Of uniOnism in Chicago
and elsewhere throughout the country
are a greater menace to liberty and the
foundations of the government than the
Southern Confederacy ever was. There is
grave danger around US today Have we
not witnessed in Chicago during the last
three months scenes Of lawlessness and
disorder indicative of peril to our insti-
tutions in the future, if not checked?
When my duty as a clergyman is inter-
fered with in giving a decent Christian
burial to the dead, then, may | ask, Is
there any government in the city of Chi
cago? When men have no respect for
the dead, surely they have none for the
living. We must reOrganize labor
throughout the country or we will have
another conflict greater than any the
American people has had to contend
with. New leaders should be chosen.
men who will try to ameliorate rather
than infame the passions of those who
compose the labor organizations. There
is danger around us now. We have had
war in Chicago, a wal more barbaric
than we had 10 the Philippines"

EVERY YEAR or two a farce IS enacted

days ago at a great cost to the country

one cent. The Norfolk steamers kept

Washington as far down as the ice ex-
tended, and the money appropriated oy

AFTER ALL their extravaganza during
the past several years, the republican
leaders in the House are now talking OF
retrenchment, and the chairman of the
WAYS and means committee says the
country is now facing a probable deficit OF
over forty millions of dollars during the
current year. A full treasury is a good
thing to boast of during a Presidential
campaign, and should itgo dry after hay-
ing been so full, the democrats might ask
questions on the stump which the repub-
licans would fined difficult TO answer.

The Porte Uneasy.

Constantinople, Jan. 29.-The Turk
ish government is greatly disturbed by
the warlike preparations of Bulgaria and
continues to hurry troops toward the
Bulgarian frontier to be ready for any
ev~entuality. The most important move
ment at the present is the dispatching OF
seventeen battalions of infaptry from
Adrianople to Kirk-Klisse. The Turk
ish officials believe that Russia is the
motive force behind Bulgaria in the
latter's demands regarding Macedonia.
Bulgaria has lately made several at
tempts to arrive at an understanding with
Turkey regarding that country, but the
Sultan's officials have firmly declined TO
discuss the matter. 1t is rumored today
that there is some dissatisfaction with
the ministry, and that a change in the
personnel of the ministry of foreign
affairs, as well as the grand viziership,
will shortly occur. The report has it
that Tewik Pasha will be the new %vizier,
and Munir Pasha the new head of the
foreign office.

THE SENATE,S RIGHTS.

The time Of the Senate yesterday was
given up to debate rather than to set
speeches, but the attitude of the United
States toward the Panama revolution
was still the subject under consideration.
There was a variation, however, in that
the discussion also had reference to the
right of the President to withhold in
formation in his hands when called for
by the Senate. The immediate founda-
ton of the controversy was the demo-
cratic caucus resolution calling upon the
President to state whether he has yet
supplied all the papers in the archives
bearing upon the Panama affair.
The debate was opened by Mr.. Culber-
son aud was participated in by Mr.
German and Mr.. Bacon on the demo-
cratic side of the chamber, and Mr..
Cullom, Mr.. Spooner, and Mr.. Lodge
on the republican side. The democrats
contended for the right of the Senate to
demand information in the possession
of the executive department bearing
upon treaties before the Senate, while
the republican speakers spoke in defense
of the discretion of the President TO
withhold information.

KOREA IN A TUMULT.

A dispatch from Seoul says that inter-
nal disturbance is spreading. 1t is the
result of increased taxation. The gov
ernors of three provinces report that their
offices have been captured by organized
bands and the funds taken.
Though unable to secur cable COM
m~unication with V~laidvostok, passengers
who have arrived at Gensam from Vlad-
ivostok say that there was disturbance
on January g., the Russian Christmas.
1t was created by drunken Russian ma
rines and Japanese women. Numerous
houses were destroyed, mostly japanese,
including the Russian theatre. The
usual fghing occurred as happens on
such occasions. There was considerable
brutality, but no fatalities. No earnest
efforts we're made by the officers to con-
troll the marines until much property was
DESTROYED. The incident is serious, but
cannot be regarded as one where inof-
fensiye people were brutally attacked
simply because they are japanese, al
though japanese residents have COM
planned of i%nsolent treatment for some
time. Notification of Korean neutral
ity cabled from Chefoo to the powers

To KEEP NEGRO BABY WHITE.-Be-
cause of an experiment of DIR. j. w,
Hill, one of the we'll known physicians
and surgeons of Indiana, in trying to
prevent infants born of negro parents
from turning dark in color 500 after
birth, the attention of the scientific
world, il Is expected, will be fixed on
South Bend during the next few months.
All arrangements have been completed
for DIR. HIPS experiment on the color
scheme of the human race. An expect
ant mother has consented to act as the
patient and will enter the hospital as
o as the rooms are finished in the
manner necessary for the scientific event.
According to DIR. Hill, the negro's skin
is more positive than that of any other
human being. and for that reason more
pigment is thrown out TO protect him
under the climatic conditions in which
his forefathers were born, the intense
heat of the tropics making this necessary.
By preventing fermentation DIR. Hill be-
lieves the child Of negro parents, which
is generally born white, tnrning dark
under the suns rays, will become even
whittier than that of the Caucasian race.
He is following the idea of Feson, the
Norwegian, who found by putting a
chameleon under violet light rays that
the pigmentation or throwing off of
color is not of such marked extent IA
under the ordinary white rays. For
this reason red light rays will be employ
ed in making the experiment, because
they have a subduing effect and prevent
pigmentation.

FIGHT IN LYNCHBTRG STREET
Three policemen last nightin L~ynchburg
sought to arrest Clark Irwin and William
Goodman for disorder. The men resisted
and for three-quarters of an hour there
was a battle royal out in Main street,
the city's principal thOroughfare
Hundreds of persons watched the fight.
Snow was falling in binding sheets aud
the ground was covered to the depth ofl0
inches. Several times the police dubbed
Irwin, and blooded flowed over his face
and clothes. A telephone summons
brought other policemen from head
quarters. Firemen were also called out,
but their assistance was not needed.
Even with achievements the police had
adesperate fight, the prisoners struggling
with frenzied passion every step of the
way. Both Irwin and Goodman are
powerful men, and sometimes they threw
the policemen around as if they had been
tenpins. The officers, however, persisted
in their efforts and finally dragged the
men to prison. The shouts Of the crowd,
which divided its sympathy between the
prisoners and the police, added to the
confusion.

New York Stock Market.

New York, Jan. 29.-The stock market
this morning was irregular, with a hesitating
Tone. United States steel preferred declined
on further talk Of possibility Of reductions
on steel rails, but it showed some steadiness
after the extreme decline. Copper was heavy
and other industrials were mostly reactionary.
The speculative sentiment seems more or less
mixed, but there is no selling pressure. The
undertone is not without some strength.
