Spain Now Facing Very Grave
Political Crisis.
TRADE UNIONS CALL A STRIKE.
Premier Canalejas Declares Movement
In All Parts of Country of a Rev
olutionary Nature Government
Aware of Plans For Months.
Madrid, Spain, Sept 21. Spain Is
face to face with a crisis equal in grav
ity to that following the riots in Barce
lona in 1009. The crisis 1b hero, and
the strike called by affiliated trades
unions is general throughout the coun
try. Tho gravity of the situation was
plainly shown by the suspension of
constitutional guarantees throughout
the nation, but the agitation and the
power of the agitators on the masses
have Increased in proportion to. the
rigor of the repressive measures un
dertaken by the government.
What at its origin was purely a lalnr
movement has now develoinxl into n
revolutionary conflict, tho commune
having actually been proclaimed at
two towns near Valencia. At these
places the authorities have been driven
out of the districts.
It was explained when the govern
ment announced the suspension of con
stitutional guarantees that In so doing
It did not seel; to prosecute the trades
unions, but it was made quite clear
that any attempts to stir up n rebel
lion would be rigorously punished. All
meetings have boon forbidden. The
military authorities. It Is further ofli-
cially stated, will not assume control
except in extreino cases.
The most serious situation is at Va
lencia; where a general strike was de
clared Monday. The city was at ouci
placed under martial law.
"The grave measure we have taken
is absolutely Imperative not only for
the defense of public institutions, bin
for society Itself." said Premier Can
alejas. "The suspension of the consti
tutional guarantees was decided upon
by the government in tho presence of
a movement unmistakably revolution
ary and anarchistic in character a
movement. It may be nssumod. direct
ed against nil social order."
Tho Spanish government has lonu
been aware that some such movement
was contemplated for the ond of Sep
tember, but was unwilling, It is snid,
to take radical measures until its true
character was apparent beyond the
possibility of error. Tho movement was
supported by tho Socialists and pos
sibly by tho Extreme Republican nar-
ty and was directed by a committee
composed of Spaniards and foreigners.

WORLD TRAVELS OF
A WOMAN'S HAT.
Always Just Behind Her and Out of
Date When She Got It.
Trailed to various parts of the world
by a ?300 Paris hat which she pur
chased in Europe nearly a year ago,
Mrs. William Dean Ellsworth of New
port and New York finally gave away
the elaborate headpiece which she
once thought In fashion, but now re
gards as out of style.
Mrs. Ellsworth was with friends in
Paris last winter when she ordered
the hat. Before it could be delivered
she was called to Moscow by the ill
ness of a friend. At Moscow she or
dered the hat sent to her, but before
It reached there she had departed for
Berlin. Tho hat followed, but Mrs.
Ellsworth had already gone to Lon
don. In obedience to Instructions It
was expressed to London, but Mrs.
Ellsworth wns sailing for Neyr York
when it was delivered to her Loudon
hotel.
Impatient that she might have the
opportunity of displaying the hat to
friends at Newport, Mrs. Ellsworth
cabled thnt her hat bo sent to her
New York hotel. But in tho round of
pleasure that followed Mrs. Ellsworth
forgot all about her hat, and she left
New York without giving Instructions
to have it forwarded to Newport.
The hat arrived in Chicago when
she was ou her way to Now Orleans.
It reached New Orleans when she had
left there for the great lake resorts.
When the hat was sent to the great
lakes Mrs. Ellsworth was in Canada,
and when tho hat reached Canada she
was traveling toward tho Pacific
coast Upon her arrival in Lo An
geles recently Mrs. Ellsworth wired
to Winnipeg that her hat bo dispatch
ed immediately to Los Angeles. It ar
rived here, but too late for Mrs. Ells
worth to wear. She gave it to a maid.
$5,000,000 FOR MISS FORCE.
Colonel Astor Will Also Provide For
Her Liberally In His. Will.
The money which Colonel John Jacob
Astor settled upon his fiancee, Miss
Madeleine Force, in a marriage agree
ment was ?o,000,000.
In addition to ?o,000,000, which will
belong to the young woman, the mo
ment she Is pronounced Mrs. Astor. a
further agreement was made provid
ing that certain provision shall be
made for Miss Force In Colonel Astor's
will. The provision is understood to
be a most liberal one. The will, It
was said, will be drawn Immediately
after the wedding. As soon as the
document is drawn and signed by tho
witnesses It will be deposited, with
the marriage agreement, with the
United States Trust company, in New
York.
It Is understood that Colonel Astor
and his brido wJU go to Europe on
board ono of the regular steamships
and will remain away for about a
year. The Noma may follow them
across, and In that event Colonel .and
Mrs. Astor will probably do consid
erable cruising in the Mediterranean.
It was said that they might pass sev
eral months in Egypt in tho winter.
FOR PERMANENT ARMY CAMP.
Government Agents Looking Over Sites
In Mountains of Maryland.
A big permanent camp for army
maneuvers is planned by the United
States government at either Oakland
or Mountain Lake Park, Md., on the
crest of the Allegbenles.
Negotiations between tho govern
ment and the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road for the purchase of a tract of
land have been under way for some
time. Recently officials of tbo Balti
more and Ohio went over tho pro
spective site nt Oakland with Lieuten
ant E. S. West, U. S. A. It is said
that a number of tho residents in and
near Oakland have forwarded peti
tions to the government asking that
the place bo selected for the camp.
Nothing definite was decided upon on
the trip.
Tho people at Mountain Lake Park
are Just as desirous as those of Oak
land to have the camp located near
them. Tho government wants to pur
chase a tract of about 10,000 acres.
It Is said that tho railroad can sell
about 30,000 acres at Oakland nnd if
more is wanted may bo In a position

VISIT OF IE
CRUISER II ill
First Chinese S!;!p to Ancfior
in American Waters.
OFFICERS SPEAK ENGLISH.
Not a Single Cue Among Her Crew of
450 Equipped With Wireless No
Chaplain Aboard Discipline Is
Strictest.
The cruiser Hal Chi of tha imperial
navy of China, the first vessel of any
kind flying the yellow dragon flag of
China that has ever been In American
waters, arrived in Now York harbor
recently, Tho trim warship, which is
of 4.300 tons displacement, got a no'.n
reception, salutes being given in he nor
of Itcar Admiral Chin Pih Kwang, ih
second highest ranking officer in lh?
Chinoso navy, whose blue pennant flies
from the mat of the Hal Chi.
The only thing that makes the Hal
Chi look out of the ordinary Is th;
great Blllton flag that stretches to th
breo.!e astern. This giant piece of ye
low silk displays a huge bluo diagoi:
wltb big black eyes, a flaming re.!
tongtto nnd white claws a foot long
all noodle worked into the yellow Cell1
In exquisite fashion.
Tle Hal Chi is as clean a ship a:i
ever canto to port, and it was noted
that among ber crew of 450 officer.
and men there was not a single cue.
The uniforms of tho officers nnd blue
jackets are much lilac those worn n
the American service, and among Cio
officers Ukfo are not half n dozen who
cai.not sponk English. The Hal Chi
also has a Hikj bvass band.
Conspicuous among tho officers of
tho cruiser nre thirteen midshipmen
who were recently graduated from the
Imperial Naval academy at Chrfu.
They are clean cut, well groomed
young men.
Tho Hal Chi has a new Marconi out
fit, nnd Warrant Officer Kuh, who op
erates it, is one of tho four wireless
operator.? In the Chinese service.
"I use the English language entirely
In Mending and receiving." said Kuh,
"but I can semi in Chinese, too, and
somotlmes I use It in home wnters."
Ono of tho most attractive apart
ments on tho cruiser is tho wardroom
of tho Junior officers. As you enter
your attention Is attracted to a huge
group portrait of gorgeously dressed
Chinamen. Tho picture was taken in
Shanghai Just before tho Hal Chi sail
ed for England several months ago.
In tho center on a throne is a small,
clean shaved young man. Ho Is the
prince regent of China. Surrounding
him are high government officers, offi
cers of tho navy and Chinese captains
of industry resident In Shanghai.
There is no chaplain on tho Hal
ChL It was explained that there are
many religions represented in the
crew. Among the sailors are, Beveral
Christians, young men who were con
verted to Christianity and educated by
the missionaries.
Tho discipline on tho Hal Chi is of
the strictest. There is a battle drill
overy day, Tho inspections are fre
quent, and every man must keep him
self clean, and his quarters must al
ways bo ready for the scrutiny of the
commanding officers. There are rec
reation hours, of course, and in those
hours tho band never stops playing,
for there is nothing that tho Chinese
bluejacket loves so much as good
music.
After leaving New York the Hal Chi
will visit several other American
portp and then go to Mexico and Cu
ba, returning to New York for a short
call, and will then sail for England,
where she will act as convoy for a
new cruiser that has Just been com
pleted In England for the Chinese
government Tho Ha! Chi and the
now cruiser will return to China to
gether via th Suez cannl.

Candidate for Prothonotary
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF WAYNE COUNTY:
Pursuant to tho requests of my many friends in the county and
the general understanding three years ago that I Bhould again offer
myself as a candidate for tho nomination for Prothonotary at the com
ing primaries, Sept. 30th, I would
stnto that after a short start by
way of an education in tho public
schools of Wnyno county, I com
pleted a course at tho A. M. Chls
hro Seminary in Monroe county, N.
Y. My post-graduate course was
about thirty years in the school
of hard- knocks as a farmer and
lumberman In Wayno county.
Have met many people in the var
ied relations of a business man
and this long experience has en
abled me to meet many whom I
esteem as friends and gain at
least enough knowledge to appre
ciate the needs and requirements
of my fellow man.
My aim has steadily been to
deal honestly, frankly and fairly
with all and to dearly cherish all
of our country's institutions, and
to encourage and assist every
true effort to maintain and ad
vance them. I invite tho fullest
investigation of my record and
with pleasure refer you to the ex
pression given at the polls by my WALLACE J. BARNES,
home district three years ago as indicative of the feelings of those who
knew me best. Although always a resident and large taxpayer In
Wayne county, I never asked for office except on tho aforementioned
occasion when I was defeated by M. J. Hanlan who, though opposed to
me, never, to my knowledge, said or did anything detrimental to me.
I therefore earnestly request your support and promise if nominated
and elected to faithfully perform tho duties of the office to the very
best of my ability and in all things obscr.e the spirit of the Golden
Rule.
Faithfully Yours,
WALLACE J. BARNES.
