Tho terror inspired by the Jnjmuein
armies in the Orient is greatly en
hanced by tho fact that they miiko no
noise. They march with no luiiidn,
,no drums bent reveille or tattoo, and
in action tho Japanese utter no cheers.

Four thousand miles of railroad
wore in contemplation in China when
the war with Japan broke out. Tho
proposed roads included n grand
trunk lino from Pekiu to Shanghai, a
trunk lino from Pekiu to Huukov, a
line from Pekiu to MonkJvii in M .U-
"' w(!t. ' Of course all
'work haa been abandoned, and no one
knows where motley will be raised to
rcHiuno operations. M Hung Chang
has alwnys been a vigorous ndvocate
. of railway construction.
Tho one thing thut seems to tho
New York Tribune well-nigh certain
in regard to tho future of Eastern
nations is that extensive and revolu
tionary changes, such as have Hot been
witnessed for many generations, will
follow- the Htrugglu between Japan and
China, Japan will be more than ever
determined to assimilate its industrial
aud monetary systems to those of
Europe aud America. China will
probably have to choose between ex
tinction as a biuglo und independent
Power and a radical and thorough re
construction of all its methods. No
ouo can foresee the great changes iu
monetary condition which may result
from causes bo fur-reaching, nud
affecting tho operations of so lurgo a
part of the world's population.
Tho Railway Age (Chicago) is au
thority for the assertion that 373 rail
way tcompauies are now building or
preparing to build 20,.') -17 miles of
new line. As this amount eijuals that
built during the past four years tho
news is of some significance. Of the
above amount 3,000 miles are now
being graded or are under contract.
Iu relation to her transportation facul
ties tho West is by no means dead on
tier foot at tho present timo. For the
greater part tho new enterprises
hitherto reported had had reference
to lake navigation. One of the lake
projects is for a ferry from au Ohio
port to a Canadian terminal across
Lake Erie, transporting cars over
what mny almost bo deemed au ocean
voyage. Another Ohio company has
organized to navigate the Erie canal,
aud is having an outfit of boats aud
tugs built. This undertaking goes to
illustrato tho position taken by the
committee of the New York Produce
Exchange, that thut canal, properly
eulnrgod, is capable still of giving tho
cheapest lino of through trunsporta
tion from lake ports to Liverpool. It
is clear that a part of tho West shares
this idea. It is to bo observed that
tho substantial advanco in meat pro
duets, coupled with tho full prices
obtained for her rather short corn
crop of last seaaon, are putting the
West in a position of res'ionsibility
for meeting t j;.,.r, meuu jjj she
enters into.
HEW LABOR ORGANIZATION
ADVANCED IDEAS.
Beginning of the American Industrial
Union at Chicago.
Tho initiative steps, la the organization ot
the ong-ta!ked-nt American Industrial
Viiioti were taken In Chicago durinit the past
week und the organization effected. About
100 delegates took ( art ia the proceedings
and the new Jordcr stnrts out with a local
membership of about f00. In Chlcngo, while
It Is slated that a number ot Independent
labor organisations and union throughout
the country hare Minified their willingness
to affiliate with the movement.
'Ihe Industrial I'nlon is to he international
in character, and the general titan of the
organization is much like the American
Hallway I Lion. Th" preamble and constitu
tion propose, In brief, tho eetabilsbmcnt of
employment bureaus, general co-operation
and the Introduction of a general right-hour
work day on Sept. 1, iJl. All differences
between employers and employes are to be
settled by arbitration, and the only thing ot
a political nature contained lit the preamble
Is a declaration favoring the universal suf
frage (or women.
The cc-opcrative feature la the one upon
which greatest stress is lull. It Is proposed
to ask for the establishment of postal siivmiri
banks for the use of wage-earners, and from
the funds thus accumulated the organisation
expect to establish industries which will ab
sorb the unemployed aud enable tbum to
become at least self-supporting. 'J he new
I'uluu will keep in close touch with the ex
isting co operative colonies, thirty-live or
more of which have already been established,
nnil. Instead of setting aside, large ntns of
money for strike fuud and the nyiin nt of
high salaries to officer, it is intended to ue
all the available funds of the organisation for
the establishment of moro colonies or the In
crease of those now in exitcne. Such a
thing as a striko is to be unknown to the new
organization.
duo of the articles of tho constitution pro
vides that no one w ho is addicted to drink or
gambling can hold office In the organization,
aud ntiy otlicer contracting these habits will
be expelled from membership, -ho doors
of thu new organization are open to every
beily except the representatives if monopo
listic corporal ions. Farmers, mechanics,
tradesmeu. laborer and professional people
are all Invited to enlist, and no discrimina
tion in uiituu tin nj rt'iigiou, i-i-a or lyiui, jb
Is expiefly state that it is not tho purpose
of the ii"W organization to make war on tho
old ones, tut to aid them In every posslblo
way. In (act, It will make a point ol a king
the older futons to come Into the co-operative
feature of the new without losing the
original Identity.
It is set forth as a living principle that,
with natural opportunities always open, to
the uuerr.ployed, and w'th a general eight
hour work day, there would never be any
serious disputes on the Ucstlon of wages,
but thut they would regulate themselves by
the natural order of supply and demand. Ia
order to have the opportunity always open to
absorb a surplus of workers In any given
place, the Amerlcau Industrial I'uion pro
poses to establish near-by colonies, where
any msu who Is willing to work van always
tarn enough by his lauor for self-support.

declarations of principles. The majority re-

The minority report was a straight out and
bold dcclaratiuu of Socialism, to be brought
about by independent political action upon
the labor cluss Hues, ibis report was iu the
hands of Mr. John F. Tobiu, who fought
hard for its adoption, and. although it was
defeated, be wa subsequently elected I'resl-
tent of the organization, alter having de
clared himself to be un avowed Socialist.
In performing the functions of the ofllce, Mr.
Tobln will be required to do a great deal of
traveling throughout the country, nud es
pecially In the r.ostern States, and he bo an
nounced that bts lutsutlon is to sow the seed
of Sociullsm wherever be goes. The new
organization has a membership aggregating
several thousand.
Pitubur the Weak Spot.
i-I'roelilent Samuel Oompers. of the
American Federation of Labor, addressed a
meeting of garment workers at ii'l Fifth
avenue. Pittsburg. lie said the garment
workers of Pittsburg were the weak
pot in the chain of large cities where the
"sweat snop evil is met. au onuer large
cities are organized. In New York, be said,
"sweat shop'' competition baa been reduced
to the minimum, and the task system wiped
out by organization. He said the same
could be done here if the effort was made.
Pittsburg garment worker, be said, were
tb only one who work 14, 16 and IS hour

The very large number of manufacturer

MET DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
FORCE OF THE STORM.
Houee Were Crushed Like Egg Sheila In
the Twinkling of an Eye.
Wednesday afternoon a fearful cyclone
devastated a strip of country several hun
dred yards wide and at least 16 miles in
length, near Halstcad, Kan., killing sis per
sons outright and seriously injuring several
others, while many have received slight In
juries.
The cyclone struck the bouse of Mrs. Fry,
a widow lady, who lived about nine mile
southwest ot Ilalstead, completely destroy
ing it aud slightly injuring Mrs. Fry. ft
picked up the house of John Scbultz.baek
and scattered It In every direction.
The tine two-story house of Joseph Weir
was completely swei.t away, killing Mrs.
Joseph Weir, wrace Weir, aged lit Herman
Weir, aged S. and a flve-weeks-old baby. Mr.
Wuir had previously left the house, and when
the cyclone struck was about 60 yards away.
He clung to a tree, but was badly Injured by
flying debris, and will die. Joseph Weir, Jr.,
and sister, Maud Weir, the only ones iu tho
family who took to the cellar, escaped with
only (light bruise.
'1 he home of K. C. Caldwell, which was 1(H)
yards to tbs west ol the Wler home, wan un
roofed aud side torn away. The family es
caped by taking to the cellar. The next
house In the path of the storm wa William
Armstrong', which wo completely wiped
from the face of the earth. Mr. Armstrong
was killed, Mrs. Armstrong seriously and
!rha fatally Injured, and Grandma
Chapln, who was there sick in bed, was
killed.
About 100 yards east of the Armstrong

Fnz.el wai picked up, as was also a large
two-story house of J. F. I'rlzzsl across the
road, nud both, together with all the out
liulldlng. wero completely swept away, leav
ing only enough detiris to show that a house
hud stood there. The families of both the
Frlzzls escaped Injury with the exception of
Mrs. J. II. Frlzzel, who woe considerably
bruised ubouttbe bead.
The next place visited was the home of
Captain William White, which wusonly par
tly destroyed, one wing of the bouse being

A NEW STATE.
The Mosquito Reservation Annexed to
Nicaragua.
Tbe Nicaraguan government bos recently
done away with Mosquito reservation,, which
bos been tbe cause of the teceot trouble, and
bat Incorporated It a a state ol Nicaragua,
with the name of "Department ol Zelay,'
named after tbe bresldent of the republic.
This action has been officially communicated
to tbe state department Tbe slgulduance of
the movemeut has attracted little publle at
tention, but It Is stated by oftlalals that It in
volves greater considerations than th armed
ocouDation ot Corlnto. Now that tbe latter
crisis Is past, officials are turning' their at
tention to what Great Britlan will do toward
Nicaragua's oourse in creatiug tbe new state
and thus indirectly terminating all British
authority or influence in tbe Mosquito
country.
"The importance of tbe creation ot tbe
new state arise Irotu tbe political struggles
since 18(10 over tbe Mosquito country. In
thut vear England and Nicaragua made i
treatv by wbicb Nicaragua wa given sover
ela-uit over tbe Mosiialto terrilroy, but tb
latter retained the right of self-government.
This latter right was us broadly constructed
as to Include coining money, collecting dune
etc. So much trouble resulted that irancia
Joseph of Austria was called in aa arbitrator
in 18X1. His decMon was largely sentimen
tal. It allowed the Nicaraguua flag to be
raised In the country aud also allowed the
Mosquito people their own Hog, The con
tention a to who governed tbe couutry con
tinued until last year, when Nicaragua took
forcible possession aud expelled British Con
sul Hutch, who was accused ot encouraging
u rebellion agalust tbe Nlcaraguan control ol
the territory. This expulsion of Hatch and
other British subjects has been tbe cause of
tbe trouble just settled.
But while the settlement has been pending
Nicaragua has permanently intrenched her
self in the disputed territory aud has estab
lished a complete International system of
government it is au executlou ot tne plan
against which the British consul was accus
ed of exciting rebellion, and lor this reusuu
there Is much apprehension aa to whether
Great Britain will assent to tbe obliteration
ol the old Mosquito couutry which wa tbe
teat ot all British influence in Nicaragua.
The new state extends along almost the en.
tire Atlantlo coast Hue of Nicaragua. The
southerly poritou is near Greytowu, the east
ern terminus of the Nlcaraguan canal, aud
this fact bus given the country its chief itu
portanue. Now that It U a Nlcaraguan state
Consul Hatch will have to be accredited di
rect to the Nlcaraguan government and pot
to the Mosquito authorities. Tb return of
Hatch was one ot tbe terms Insisted on by
Great Britain.
