Riu.ing Not Due TO Any General Anti
Foreign or .Aati-Christian Feeling.

Oyster, L. l., September IA DEF
mite resume of the conditions at To-
kio is given in a cablegram from Min
lister Griscom to the secretary of war,
which was transmitted to President
Roosevelt. The cablegram follows:
Toxic, September 10.
The violence TO all foreigners and
the attacks on Christian churches re-
ported in my previous kilograms
should not be considered TO indicate
any general anti-foreign or antt-Chris-
tian feeling. The former was quite in
cidental, and the latter due TO sporadic
antagonism to the Russian church and
some native Christians. The members
offered TO spare one American church,
if the minister could show an AEacrt-
can flag, unfortunately he could not.
Newspapers have during many months
raised popular expectation so high that
intense dissatisfaction with terms or
peace resulted. Sentiment among ar
my, navy and nobility, however, is
understood to be more conservative.
Six newspapers have been suspended.
Matrial law probably will continue for
some time, thus insuring quiet. Mean
while the legation guard Of twelve SOL
diers will continue.

WILL DEMAND HIGHER WAGES
Freight Handlers Ask for q Confer
cnce With Railroad Managers.

Chicago, September 11.-Freight
handlers sent a request To % railroads
today for a conference with the COM
panies managers by 10 a. m, We'd
nesday, at which it is proposed to sub
NIT demands for a wage increase Of
approximately 10 per cent. If the re-
quest is refused 1t is the plan of the
labor leaders TO submit to Il referen-
dunn vote Immediately the question OF
calling a general strike of union
freight handlers.
What the railroads will do Is a
problem. 1t was reported that at
least two roads, the Lake Shore and
the Illinois Central had secured sever
al loads of cots for the purpose Of
equipping barracks for strike breakers
in the event Of a strike.
Vice President Harahan of the ILL
nois Central said his oad was not In
q position to increase wages, its earn
ings having been injured by the yellow
fever.
