New York-What that ~congeries Of
hnancial interest which is usually
spoken Of as wall street" has been
looking forward to anxiously and with
much speculation for several years
has actually come TO pass in the
House OF Morgan" The "OId Man"

Germs 10 his son, while in his magniH-
cont new library on East ~Thirty-sixth
street ne IS spending the evening Of
his days in the pleasures OF the coliec-
tor auid bis collections.
Like all OF the things the elder Nor
gan does, this change IN his banking
house was accomplished with little
aounshing OF trumpets. So quiet
and gradual has been the process that
until the last few weeks but little at-
tentioR has been paid TO the impor-
tant change which has gUr several
years been going on in the house OF
Morgan. John Fierpont Morgan. the
first dnaneier OF the country, and per

APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.
Text of the Plea for Arbitration

CHICAGO, August 1.-THE text of the
appeal for arbitration made to President
Roosevelt last night by the directors of the
Chicago board Of trade was as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, Oyster Bay, N. Y:
THE business of this great country,
which is suffering serious loss to the extent
of millions of dollars per day on account
of the deadlock between the telegraph COM
panies and their employees, demands an i'm
mediate settlement of the differences at Is
sue, so that national catastrophe may be
averted
In this emergency we look to the chief
executive of this country to take personal
hand. HIRAM N. SAGER,
President board of trade of the city Of
Chicago"
1t was at the close of a desultory day
on the board, that plainly showed the dam
age done to the business of the Chicago
traders and their out-of-town correspond
ents, that the directors sent out the mes
sage.
This matter has reached a stage where
it has become of the greatest national i'm
portance,' declared President Sager. ''Of
course, the damage being done locally Is
fearful to contemplate, but the damage be-
ing done In other portions of the country
where great deal of our business is trans
acted is far greater.
Corn. oats and wheat have shrunk pain
fully in values since this strike has started,
and unless the matter IS speedily settled
business will be completely demoralized.
Grain continues to arrive in the city, but
there is no call for it.
The fact that President Roosevelt has
been receiving daily reports on the prog
ress and seriousness of the strike and that
government business is being interfered
with caused board of trade members and
other business men to feel that the big
stick should be swung and that mediation
measures such as smoothed over the big
strike of Pennsylvania miners, might be
exerted by the President.
Both the strikers and the companies. 1t
was argued, might be forced to listen to
President Roosevelt. While all talk of me-
diation locally seemed to be weakly sup
ported by actual conditions, the President,
it was held. could, by a stroke OF his pen,
change the unions indifference the COM
panies unwillingness.

Summary Of Platform.
nh. platform will demand that the peo-
nle,s rights be restored to them by the re-
neal of the ubiquitous election laws.
This plank will be the paramount issue
in the campaign in Maryland this year.
The platform will dwell upon the frauds
practiced under the guise of a law which
disfranchises fully one-third of the voters
of this state.
Added to the unfair and unjust election
law is an attempt of the democrats to re-
enact and resubmit to the people the Poe
Acknowledgement amendment, which was
rejected two years ago by over 10000 ma
iority The fact will be demonstrated that
the democrats only await franchise OPP
portunity to renew their effort to incor-
porate the Poe plan into the original law
Of the state.
The document will show that the demo-
Gratis have had abundant opportunities to
enact a corrupt practices act, and have
failed to do SO. The republicans, on the
other hand have not only declared in
their platforms for such legislation, but
have voted for it in the state Legislature.

DR.. Wiley's Across the Pond Stirring
Things Up


1t is believed at the State Department
that the outcome of the present visit tn
Europe of DR.. Wiley of the Department of
Agriculture will be the calling Of an inter-
national gathering in this country to en-
deavor to secure uniformity of practice in
the treatment of food adulteration 1t ap-
pears that there is little difference of op.n-
lon among the health authorities Of the va
rious nations as to the propriety of estab-
hshing rules for the manufacture of food
and drug products in the interest of the
public health, but differences have arisen
at each stage of the attempt to frame regu-
latlons for the government of the EXPORT
trade In such commodities owing to honest
difference of opinion as to the proper def
milton OF adulterants. Although taking an
advanced position in this matter as revealed
IN the stringent legislation contained In
the pure food law, the government of the
United States has been obliged at times to
take sharp issue with some of the European
officials as to the narmfulness of certain in
gradients Of our food exports.
Against purely technical objections the
Agricultural Department has been contend
ing with difficulty Cor a long time But
with the passage of the pure food act, with
the authority contained therein to apply its
provisions to imported foods and drugs and
wines, the department finds it's hand much
strengthened in dealing with European gov
ernments which are now beginning to show
a very practical interest in the inquiry
which Dr. Wiley is making into the nature
of the ingredients Of the great quantities Of
foreign delicatessen and liquors that are
flowing into the United States
It, therefore, is felt that 1t will not be a
difficult matter to induce other nations to
second the efforts Of the United States gov
eminent, either by an international gather
ing or by diplomatic correspondence to
reach an understanding upon a general set
of rules relative to the use OF preservatives
in food products.

TIL MAY ADVOCATE
ANOTHER FAREWELL APPEAR
ANCE" SCHEDULED.

SHANGHAI, August 14NThe empress
to sbdicate at the next Chinese new year
She desires, it is said, to hand over the
cares of state to the emperor.
A secret decree has been issued calling
meeting of the grand council to make ar
engagements for the change
This Is not the first time that the coming
retirement of the Dowager Empress has
been reported, but with her advance in
years her early retirement becomes the
more probable, and it is quite likely that
now, when she is seventy-two years old
She finds 1t necessary to release the strong
grip she has held the affairs of the Chi
nese government during so many years Of
her long and remarkable career Tzi-Ann
is the daughter of a Manchu, who, being
in financial difficulties In Canton in 1885,
sold her, then an infant Of three years, to
a rich merchant. She proved a very clever
child, and before She was eight years old
could read and write.
In 1s4S an imperial proclamation was is
sued. calling for eligible Manchu maidens,
between fifteen and eighteen to present
themselves at Picking in view Of the selec-
ton of secondary wives for the Emperor
Hien-Fung. TZi-Ann was among the first
ten on the chosen list. From this time
dates her life of intrigue. Succeeding in
making herself indispensable to the en-
press, she was constantly brought to the
emperor's notice.
Was the Real Ruler.
She won his admiration and affection,
and later bore him son. The empress
had no son. So Tzi-Ann was able to in
no Of har child
to proclaim her the western empress"
Hien-Fung died in 1860, and Tzi-Ann
placed her son on the throne under the
name of Tung-Chi. During his minority
the government was in the hands of a
regency, consisting of Tzi-Ann, the other
empress and Prince Kung, the childs
uncle In 1874 Tung-Chi, being then
nineteen years old, began to show signs
of independence. Intrigue was rife In
the palace, and Tung-Chi died in January
in the following year, his wife following
him very soon. He had married her in
1871. They were poisoned, 1t has been
thought.
AS there was no heir to the throne the
infant son of Prince Chung was adopted
as the son Of the Emperor Hien-Fung,
and thus entered upon the inheritance or
the great dynastic line as emperor py sue
cession under the name Of kwang-Hsu.
THE regency remained the same. h"ahs-
Hsu took more kindly to the eastern
empress than to her rival. SO the eastern
empress died suddenly in April, 1881, and,
of course, there were rumors OF poison:
However, that counted for nothing, ana
Tzi-Ann ruled alone. Since then she has,
until quite recently, done her best to
check every movement toward the refor-
nation Of the abuses that abound IN
every branch of the Chinese government.
The empress dowager is SO certainly
the ruler of China that when the usual
imperial reception is given to the diplo-
matte corps at the new year she sits on
the throne and the emperor meekly &C.
cupies a chair on q dais noticeabiy lower
than that on which the empress dowager
is enthroned.

election FOR United States senator is de-
clarcd to be farcical.
The opinion is expressed that the Ha-

is given by the republicans that they will

sentative sydney +. Mudd and Mr $. A.
