Wartime Diary.

the ups are any better or the downs
any harder on the Shakhe than they
were with us in Kentucky and Ten

of hundred words each day of the
year 1863, fighting year for most OF
our armies.
The record began in a matter of
fact way. reading in this wise:
Morning very cold.
Aroused at 8 o'clock; our brigade
stumbling to the front to stand two
hours on outpost. Rebel lines and
fires in plain view. Return to our
bivouac; cook breakfast, and change
position. Attack made on our center
repulsed. Chase hogs between the
lines, kill several, and have a New
Years dinner. AT night build large
fires and are comfortable, but cannot
sleep because of continuous firing on
the skirmish line.
Evidently something had been do
ing. This record is of the second day
at Stone River, or the Gay after the
bloody struggle of Dec. 81. 1862. This
is made clearer by the record of Fri
day, Jan. 2: Aroused at o'clock and
breakfast without interruption. Re
lieved by two other regiments and re-
tire to the rear near the river. Build
a line of breastworks while we rest.

Identification.
The public should remember that
there are few labor unions conducted
on peaceful lines and in proportion as
they are worthy. they have won es-
TEEN, for we, people, are strongly
in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that we seek the good of all and
not those alone who. belong to some
organization, whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a public speaker lately
said: 1.-The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloQuence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying on the slopes of Bunker
Hill, was not more outrageous than
the conditions that a closed shop
would force upon the community.
These men burst into rebellion when
the king did but touch their pockets
Imagine if you can their indignant pro-
restrict their occupation or determine
the conditions under which they
should earn their livelihood and to
assault, beat and murder them, blow
up their houses and poison their food
if they did not submit.
The public should also remember
that good, true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, law-abiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are de-
nounced. but when you hear a union
man "holler" because the facts arc
made public, he has branded himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or
a sympathizer, and therefore with the
mind of the lawbreaker, and likely to
become one when opportunity offers.
That is one reason employers decline
to hire such men.

SITUATION IS NOW
 WORSE THAN EVER
COUNT CZlRAkY'S MISSION TO LEADERS OF COALITION PAR TIES IN THE HUNGARIAN DIET SEEMS HOPELESS.

Vienna, September 24-Count Cziraky, who yesterday was appointed by the King-emperor, Francis Joseph, to nego- tiate with the leaders of the coalition parties in the Hungarian diet with view to the formation of Hungarian cabi- net. had q conference with three leaders today lasting for an hour and half
 It is understood that the count re- ceived from them q written declaration to the effect that they would be unable to assume the responsibility of govern ment on the conditions imposed by his majesty as these conditions were direct ly in opposition to their personal views, and also in opposition to the mandate of the people at the last election.
 Count Cziraky then left the conference to report to the King-emperor promising to return with his majesty's reply. After an audience of the King-emperor, Count Cziraky returned to the hotel and found that Count Julius Andrassy, Count Czichy, Baron Banffy and Francis Kos suth had departed for Budapest. and that Count Albert Apponyi. the other represen- tative of the coalition, had gone to join his family at Weidlingau. This appar- ently brings the negotiations to a close.
 It is admitted here that the situation is now worse than ever, and Count Cziraky's mission Is considered hopeless.
 Considerable excitement prevails in pol itical circles and the developments of the next few days are anxiously awaited.

CONGRESS GIVEN
 LESS ATTENTION
NO DDANGER OF POLICE INTER FIRING WITH THE ZEMSTVO- lsTs AT INSTRUMENTATION ASSEMBLY IS CRITICIZED.

Moscow. September A.-Owing to the fact that there is no danger of police interference, the congress of zemstvoists and municipal representatives, which opens here tomorrow, is attracting less attention than given to previous con- gresses, but the programme for discus sion Is extremely important, as 1t eni- braces criticism of the national assem- bly project. which had not been an- nounced when the previous congress met, and the formulation of a plan of cam paign for the coming elections.
 Though the majority of the delegates are apparently willing to accept the as- sembly on the present lines as an earn ity will present some very sharp criti- cisms of the project. The deputation from Kostroma, for instance, has been in- structed that the assembly answers nei- ther the wishes nor the needs of the country, and that elections under the prevailing conditions without freedom of assembly or of the press are impossible. resolution will be proposed pointing out to the government the imperative necessity of granting liberty of meet ing and of the press immediately, if the assembly Is to be made truly representa- tive
 The sentiments of the people have been canVassed by the delegates, who will present them to the congress, which undoubtedly will act in accordance with them.

DisfIanchIsement Idea Popular
 in West Virginia
CAMPBELL IS SHREWD MAN
Is Working on Race Prejudice to Hold Waverinq Element of Party in Line-Byrne for Gov
 ernor.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington September A-tspeciaL)- While Roosevelt carried West Virginia last year by 32,000 votes, the republican governor was only elected by 5000 ma jority. It is declared by West Virginia politicians that had former Senator Da- wis been the nominee for governor, as was the original intention of the West Virginia democrats, he would have been elected. This result, 1t is said, would have been largely due to his attitude on the negro question, which Is becoming so important in that state that 1t is not unlikely it will be the biggest factor in the coming fight for the legislature and in congressional races next year.
 State Senator William Campbell, who managed Representative-elect Davis re- cent congressional campaign successful ly, Is the most ouHpoken advocate of the white mans party idea He lives in Jefferson county, where such an issue might be popular for local reasons, but republicans say Campbell Is shrewdly working on racial prejudice to hold in line a wavering element of his party. Jefferson county democrats are inclined to be favorable to the new tax system, although any hope of seeing them depart from the traditions which hold strong sway In that part of West Virginia may be strained. Hedged in by Maryland and Virginia. the Jefferson county democrats have imbibed the negro disfranchisement cry, and because popular there Senator Campbell may figure that it will be a winning card elsewhere.
 George Byrne of Charleston, who Is an eNially outspoken but more persistent advocate of depriving the negro of his vote, is being mentioned casually as his party's candidate for governor.

President Preparing His MGs-
 sage to Congress
THREE IMPORTANT TOPICS
He Will Discuss Regulation of Life Insurance, Relations With Ven ezuela and Santo Domingo
 and Other Subjects.

Oyster Bay, September 24.-President Roosevelt will complete his summer so- Journ at Sagamore Hill and return to Washington next Saturday.
 The President, Mrs. Roosevelt and members of their family, Secretary and Mrs. Loeb and the members of the execu- tive force will leave here about Il o'clock Saturday morning on a special Long Island railroad train. They will go by boat from Long Island City to Jersey City, and thence via the Pennsylvania railroad to Washington. reaching the cap- ital shortly after o'clock
 The President is devoting considerable time each day now to work on his mes- sage to Congress. For some time he has been assembling data for the message, but since the adjournment of the peace conference he has been writing the data into definite form. The message will not be completed until some time early in November, because each member of the cabinet will have to supply material for discussion of the work of his depart ment. This information will be contained in the annual reports of the cabinet of ficers which have not been completed.
 Three topics highly important at this time to the American people will be dis- cussed by the President in his message. They are the federal regulation and su- pervision of life insurance, the relations between this country and Venezuela, and America's interest in the fiscal affairs of the government of Santo Domingo Other important subjects naturally will be con sdered, among them the scandals dis closed by the department of justice in the beef trust cases; the regulation of rail- road freight rates; the progress made in the construction of the Panama canal, and the conclusion of peace between Russia and Japan.
 Much of the material for the discussion of these subjects, President Roosevelt now has in hand, and the last days of his stay at Sagamore Hill are being devoted to the preparation of that part of pis mes sage which will deal with them Few vis- itors have been received since the ad- journment of the peace conference, the President desiring to b as ire as pos sible from interruption while working on President desiring to be as free as pos tically devoid of engagements. The con sderation of all matters except those of immediate importance Is being postponed until the President shall have reached Washington

BOMB IS TO BE
 EXPLODED TODAY
Alleged Violation of the Con-
 tract Labor Law
ARRESTS WILL BE MADE
Eleven Heads of Manufacturing and Contracting Firms in New York Must Face Serious Charges
 From Government.

New York September 24.-After eight months of careful preparation the United States district attorney of this district will tomorrow, according to reliable au- thority, cause the arrest of eleven heads of manufacturing and contracting con cerns of this city, on warrants charging them with having conspired through the medium of an employers association to violate the contract labor law, by the importation of foreign workmen The penalty of conviction is a fine of not les than $1000 nor more than sl0,O00, or im- prisonment for not more than two years.
 It is understood that the department of commerce and labor Is directing the pros ecution, and has, through its own agents, assisted by operators of the secret ser- vice. prepared the case against the ac- cused. This has involved many months of investigation and also the keeping since January last of four men, English tile-setters, at Ellis Island It Is upon the evidence of these four men, backed by an array of corroborative depostions that the government chiefly relies.
 The evidence in the case goes back to the lockout by the Tile, Crate and Mantel association, an employers organization of the manufacturers of mosaic and encaus- tic tile layers, and helpers of New York and vicinity on August of last year. To make the lockout success it is charged the employers association sent one of its number to England and caused ad- vertisements to appear in papers in Eng land and Germany, offering tile masons So a day for eight hours labor in the United States. Fifty workmen, ii is al- legged. were imported to the United States at the instance of the eleven accused men, and were instructed to swear false
 y when questioned at Ellis Island by the immigration officials as to their reasons for coming to America, and especially to swear that they had as yet no employ ment in this country. 1t Is also said that the men were furnished with the address of one of the accused men, and ardered him to report to him.
 Two weeks after the men were im- ported, the lockout being a success, 1t is alleged the accused caused the English workmen to be discharged on the ground they were not familiar with American tools or the method of working in this country, and were, therefore, useless. Some of these men got home as best they could. but four of them carried their of commerce and labor and rendered in- formation on which an investigation was based Since then they have been under detention at the immigration station at Ellis Island.

of health has adopted more stringent quarantine measures by the issuance Of the following order:
 "On and after this date all trains arriving at Chattanooga shall be locked and turned over to the inspector in charge of the depot at Chattanooga, and no person shall be released until it is ordered by said inspector Train inspec- tors will notify the train crews of this order and see that it is carried out to the letter"
 This is in addition to the recent strin- gent measures which require every per- son coming into the city to have a cer- tificate of health signed by city, county or state authority.
 Petitions circulated here among the mer- chants and other business men ask that leniency be extended to people living within this city's patronizing territory. This petition received hundreds of sigma lures asking the board of health to per- init persons from the neighboring towns and surrounding country to come here unmolested to do their trading Following the receipt of that petition comes the or der that all trains must be brought into the city with doors locked, and be kept locked during whatever time an inspec- tor may occupy in prosecuting a cross examination of passengers.
 In the circulation of the petition if de- veloped that merchants complain very generally of the falling off of out-of- town trade to very great extent lately, since these late orders went Into effect. It was stated that a general determination had been made by people at Cleveland and ad- joining towns to go to Knoxville to buy goods.

PRESIDENTS VIEWS
 ARE ANfAG0NIZED
REPUBLICANS OF OHIO UNDER FORAkER AND DICK DO NOT FAVOR DRASTIC RAILROAD LEG ISLATlON.

Washington. September 24-(Specia1)- Senator Foraker's speech at the opening of the campaign in Ohio yesterday seems to pretty well indicate that President Roosevelt cannot expect from the Senate the drastic railroad legislation he has ad- yocated in his speeches and messages to Congress.
 In connection with the Ohio campaign it Is interesting to note that the Ohio democrats enthusiastically endorsing the Presidents views, while the repub- licans under the leadership of Foraker and Dick, are taking the opposite tack. Regardless of this, Senator Foraker ap- peals to the people of Ohio to stand by the President and yet, on the most im- portant issue of the day the stand taken by the President Is antagonized by the Ohio senator and presidential candidate. The President might even up things by ordering Chairman Cortelyou to with hold from the Ohio republicans the policy holders insurance money remaining in the coffers of the national republican com mittee.

 The horses were held in locked cars at Cleveland, Tenn, by Chattanooga quar- antine officers for ten hours without food or water. After being released they were again held up at Citico for five hours more, after which they were taken into the company's stock yards and are being held pending the inspec- tors release.
