THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1903. MOB French Strikers Wreck Homes of Enemies. FIRE SET TO BUILDINGS Linen Put Across Street to Keep Troops Back. BANKS BROKEN IN AND BOBBED Armentlers Weavers Take Furniture From Employers'. Residences by Mght and Build Blazes Au thorities Xovr in Control. ARMENTTERS, North France, Oct 13. This town was today given up to riot, pillage and Incendiarism, as a conse quence of the weavers strike. Nothing this morning foretold the serious dis turbances about to occur, but at noon the strikers, not receiving answers to their demands from the emplo3ers, broke out into the wildest excesses. A mob of 6000 gathered In the great square and urged the troops stationed there to throw down their arms, shouting: "Down with patriotism." , The rioters then spread through the principal streets, breaking the windows of the stores, dragging out the huge dis play rolls of linen, which they stretched across the streets with the object of im peding the adi'ance of cavalry- They wrecked shops, sacked the bouses of per sons obnoxious to the ringleaders, and at tacked the banks, in two of which they succeeded in stealing a few hundred dol lars from the tills. One gang set fire to a large quantity of linen in the cellars of Messrs. Bec quart's factory. Others broke the win dows of houses and threw inside burnlnV straw. The troops, hampered by the obstruc tions thrown In their way by tfie rioters, were for a long time unable to disperse the mob. Finally a determined charge by lancers restored temporary quiet. After dark the rioters tore up the sew er gratings and paving stones and stretched wires across the streets. Wo men brought plies of empty bottles for use as missiles, while boys swarmed up the lamp posts and extinguished the gas Jets. In spite of the efforts of the soldiers the rioters then proceeded to sack the houses, dragging out the furniture, sat urating It with petroleum and setting , fire to It In the street. Fire was put to two houses belonging to the strikers" em ployers and one big factory. The local brigade, being inadequate to cope with the conflagrations, an urgent appeal was sent to the neighboring town of Lille, whence a steam pump and reinforce ments of firemen were sent. By midnight, however, the troops and police had gained the upper hand and dispersed the mob. The streets are now deserted except for the armed patrols. The authorities are taking measures to ascertain the names of the ringleaders In the riots. As a result of the intervention of the prefect, the .strike leaders have decided to submit the employers' terms to a ref erendum of the workmen tomorrow. TO INCREASE GERMAN XAVY Estimates for the Comlnjr Year Sol diers Must Be Rearmed. BERLIN. Oct. 13. The German naval estimates for 1904 are in the hands of the finance committee and have not yet been made public, but It has been learned that they contain nothing except statements of the sums required for the mainte nance and the construction of vessels al ready under way, and they have been placed at an Irreducible minimum for keeping the fleet on its present effective basis. Such new ships as will bo asked for under the naval programme will be Included In a supplementary budget. which, it is understood, will provide for two battleships, .one armored cruiser and five torpedo-boats. None of these additional vessels .has already been laid down, as Is sometimes done in anticipation of an appropriation. and no effort Is being made to complete the programme by 1906 or 190S. as it was generally supposed two years ago Ger many Intended doing. Such a realization is now deemed Impossible. The pro gramme will take the 16-year course originally outlined In 1900. The reason Is an obvious one lack of money. The government's view Is that the country is reconciled to carrying out the programme under which by 1920 It will have 55 battleships, 3S of them up- to-date, with 3090 officers and 55.S09 men. But the country would not approve of largely increased burdens- to carry it through In a shortened period. Besides, the government finds It will De necessary wiunn tne next two or three years to re-arm the army. It Is supposed, with some certainty, that the government has already ordered the artil lery from Krupps without waiting for an appropriation and that the Arm Is now manufacturing the guns. The rifle now In use In the German army Is measurably obselete, or at least It Is not so effective as the latest model. Hence, It is planned to manufacture the 3,000,000 rifles necessary for the regulars and reserves. The old rifles will be sold for what they will bring, although new weapons will cost from $18,750,000 (to $22, 500.000. CZAR HAS BACKED DOWX. Rome Xow Certein Ilia Visit to That City Has Been Abandoned. BERLIN, Oct. 13. The Rome corre spondent of the Cologne Gazette eays that It Is now certain that the proposed visit of the Czar to Rome has not been post poned, but that it has been completely abandoned.

ROUT REBELS IX HIDIXG. TnrkN Kill Many Children and Xon comhatants Xcar Monnstir. SOFIA, Bulgaria. Oct. 13. A band of 70 Insurgents were caught near the frontier by Bulgarian troops sent to Sofia yester day. The passage of bands across the frontier has become increasingly difficult, owin to the precautions of the govern ment and the Increase in the number of frontier guards. The general situation Is unchanged. Turkish troops recently discovered a hid ing place of Insurgents and refugees In the mountains 2S miles from iMonastlr and routed them after several days of fighting. The Turks used artillery. The pursuit of the refugees Is said to have been accom panied by great severity, and the murder of many children and non-combatants. The Turkish proposals for the repatria tion of the refugees meets with a positive refusal from the fugitives to reCurn to Macedonia, and place themselves under the control of the Turks. MOXASTIR .BECOMING PEACEFUL. Insurgents Have Been Practically Annihilated. , MONASTIR. Monday, Oct. 12, via Sa lonlca, Oct. 13. This district is settling down.

The Inspector-General, Hllmo Pasha, In concert with the mixed commission. Is ar ranging to rebuild the homes which wero destroyed out of government funds. The reconstruction lo proceeding, however, un der numerous difficulties. DEFEAT FOR THE UNIONS Gompers Tells Xevr Yorlc Men to Ac cept Employers' Arbitration Plan. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. In a. letter to the Building Trades Unions of this city and vicinity, made public tonight, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, and James Duncan, sec retary, have recommended that the unions agree to the plan of arbitration of tho Employers' Association. This action, which comes after Mr. Gompers' investi gation of the labor situation in this city, is considered a defeat for the Building Trades Unions, which have refused to sign the plan of arbitration. It is also recommended that the unions which have signed the agreement Insist upon the dlsbandment of such organiza tions as have been instituted recently as rivals to the previously existing unions of the trade. -Mr. Gompers also recommends that the unions be lenient with tho mem bers of the rival organizations and afford them an opportunity to Join tho" union ranks. Although seeing flaws In the phin -ot arbitration, as submitted by the employ ers, Mr. Gompers approves of It on the whole, particularly In the elimination of the purely sympathetic strike, which Is a weapbn, he says, that has been brought Into play to such extremes at other times for entirely Insufficient reasons that even Its advocates now deprecate its use. "It Is therefore not unnatural a reaction nas set In," he continues, "and that the notion prevails that all differences In dispute Be tween employers and workmen can or must be adjusted by arbitration. In our opinion, agreements witn em ployers for the maintenance of Industrial peace and the pursuit of the policy of con ciliation, with every honorable effort at arbitration of disputed points, but main taining the largest possible limit or rree dom of action of the unions, will tend to the establishment of more rightful rela tions between the workmen and their em ployers and tho establishment of a larger degree of Industrial tranquillity than any coercive nollcv of comDUlsory arbitration. whether enforced by combinations of em ployers or by the state." Erie "Will Alo Reduce Force NEW YORK, Oct. 13. As a step toward retrenchment and in a measure to recoup losses from the flood, Erie Railroad offi cials have decided, says the Herald, to cut down the force of employes. Many are to be discharged from the repair shops and the malntenance-of-way corps. The cur tailment In the latter department, it is said, will not necessitate the abandonment of any of the new construction worn which has been started. The most notable of these Improvements Is the construction of a third and fourth track between Jer sey City and Port Jervis and an extension of the double track virtually to Chicago In reducing their force of machinists It was explained by a railroad traffic official that the. New York Central, the Erie, tne Pennsylvania and the Southern Pacific were merely returning to the normal de mand for skilled labor. BOYCOTT MUST CEASE.

Chicago CANT GAG BRITAIN Rosebery Declares Fiscal Is sue Will Not Down, BALFOUR'S STAND ATTACKED He Comes Out Boldly for Free Trade, Much to the Disappointment of the Supporters of Chnmber lain's Protection Policy. LONDON, Oct' 43. Lord Rosebery spoke tonight at Sheffield, whither he went In order to definitely record his op position to Mr. Chamberlain's fiscal pol icy. He was greeted with the utmost en thusiasm by an Immense audlonce, which ho held In rapt attention for an hour and a half. Lord Rosebery delivered a character istic speech of brilliant rhetorical denun ciation of protection, lntorsporsed with clever and caustic allusions to Mr. Cham berlain and the predicament In which he had placed the government. The Earl said he doubted If there had ever been an fiscal Inquiry- The Ministry had probably In vestigated not the nation's commerce but the constituencies. He deprecated a pol icy of retaliation which would land tho empire in a contest with every nation In the civilized world. . He held that free trade had not failed, but had been a great success. The new policy, instead of solidifying, would tend to dislocate and probably dlssolvo the empire. Lord Rosebery warned his hearers that they could not try a new policy and drop It If it failed. Protection onco estab lished could not be uprooted, and would bring In Its train trusts, monopolies and probably corrupton. If the country wanted to better ltsolf. ho continued, let It cultivate a sclentttlc spirit and bettor education, and above all keep the uni verse for a reservoir of food and raw ma terial. He ridiculed the idea that the colonics could consent not to establish new industries for the benefit of the United Kingdom. A fair and practical Imperial tariff could not be devised, and heaven protect them from the had blood and Jealousies that such an attempt would engender. He was very doubtful about tho prop osition that a fiscal should precede a po litical union. In any event, what Mr. Chamberlain's friends Ignored was that everything In the empire had been strong and successful because It was free and spontaneous. In conclusion Lord Rosebery said he could not forget the long agony with which the nation had passed from the protective system which had brought it to the verge of famine and ruin. Into the better and freer conditions now prevail ing. Lord Rosebery made no attempt to re fute Mr. Chamberlain's contentions by argument, statistics or a detailed exam ination of his proposals. He confined him self tq generalizations. He evoked ap plause by describing Mr. Chamberlain as the real head of the present government. In reference to Mr. Balfour's attempt to gag parliamentary discussion of the fis cal problems, he said: "You cannot pre vent a storm by sitting on tho barometer." In the course of a speech to an overflow meeting Lord Rosebery referred to the popularity of protection In America and said: So long as you get tho American farmer to pay taxes for the benefit of the trusts and great industries it is all the bettorTor those trusts and Industries. But In time I think the farmer will find It Is not his advantage that Is being served and then there may be a reversal of that policy." The Earl of Dunravcn has written a let ter strongly supporting Mr. Chamber lain's proposals. DISAPPOINTS CHAMBERLAIN MEN". They lind Hoped. Rosebery Might Be Found on Their Side. LONDON, Oct. 14. The Earl of Rosc bery's strong free trade speech is a groat disappointment to the supporters of Mr. Chamberlain, who had apparently hoped basing this hope on the ambiguous speech his lordship made at Burnley some time ago that he. might be found- on the side of the "fair' traders. This disappoint ment Is Increased by a hint given by Lord Rosebery in his speech that he Is willing actively to lead or assist In the flghf against protection, though this reference was exceedingly vague. The Duke of Devonshire has also an nounced his Intention actively to co-oper ate wnn me unionist rree i-ooa ieague. Tho campaign, therefore, promises to be come lnreoslngly energetic Lord Brassey, speaking at Rye in de fense of the Chamberlain policy, said ho had Just returned from Canada, and be lieved that only the adopton of a prefer ential tariff would save the empire from breakdown, because the Influx of Amer ican settlers tended to the Americani zation of the Northwest Territories, and an American offer of reciprocity might eventually be accepted. In which case a political union of the United States and Canada would be only a question of time. This danger would disappear . If Mr. Chamberlain's scheme were adopted. Premier Ross, of Ontario, informed him that it Mr. Chamberlain's policy had been in force during the last 20 years the popu lation of Canada today would have been 20,000,000 better. HE FAVORS FISCAL CHANGES. Lyttleton in Accord With Balfour and Chninbcrluln. LONDON, Oct. 13. Colonial Secretary Lyttleton issued an election addrosa to his constltutents at Warwick and Leaming ton today In which he says he Is In entire agreement with the fiscal changes "which Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain together advocate." Mr. Lyttleton holds the government should be enabled to mitigate the Ine quality of foreign competition, and to ne gotiate effectively for a reduction of for eign tariffs on British goods to have the power to impose taxation on foreign man ufactures. The Colonial Secretary Is con vinced the empire should be further knitted together by strengthening the commercial ties of Its various parts by preferential tariffs. To secure closer ties with the colonies involved a readjustment of the taxes on food, peculiarly affecting the poorer classes, who should therefore have a full opportunity to minutely and deliberately consider the matter. A should, therefore, be distinctly understood that there Is no proposal to Impose prefer ential tariffs for the colonics without fur ther reference to the elect6rate. LORD PRESIDENT OP COUNCIL. Lord Londonderry Succeeds the Dnlfe of Devonshire. LONDON, Oct. IS. Lord Londonderry has been appointed Lord President of the Council In succession to the Duke of Devonshire. It Is understood that his lord ship will retain the portfolio of education and his new appointment will thus make little practical difference to his position In the cabinet. x . XOT HAILED AS A LEADER.. Liberal Prcus Fats Xo Such Inter pretation on the Speech. LONDON. Oct. 14. The Idea that Lord Kosebery was bidding for tho leadership of tho Liberal party In his speech at Sheffield finds no support In the editorials published by the Liberal papers this morn- lng. These express great satisfaction, that he. has not longer left his attitude dbubt rul, as In his Burnley speech last May, when ho said he did not regard "free trade as a part of the sermon on the mount," but there Is no attempt to hall him as the leader of the party. The Conservative organs In their com ments endeavor to minimize the Impor tance of Lord Roscbery's free trade declarations. Chamberlain Suffer From Gout. ' LONDON, Oct. 13. Joseph Chamberlain Is confined to his bed at Highbury, his residence at Birmingham, by a sharp at tack of his old enemy, gout. He hopes, however, to recover sufficiently to keep his Newcastle engagement, October-20. NO MORE COIN NEEDED. Purchases of Silver for the ' Philip pines Will Cease. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 Colonel Ed wards, chief of tho Bureau of Insular Af faire of the War Department, who has been managing, In this country, the finances of the Philippine Government, and carrying out the act of the last Con gress for supplying the Philippines' with currency, recently cabled the Philippine Commission that there should now be In the Islands 15,932,850 pesos, and' that the amount yet to be coined and. shipped amounted to one million more, the amount being at the mints or contracted for. A reply has been received from the Commis sion stating that the amount of coin now in the Philippines, together with some 5,000,000 pesos in paper money, to be in creased to 7,000.000, to which should be added from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 pesos In Spanish coin, would be sufficient, and ad vising against the purchase of any more bullion for the purpose of coining Philip pine pesos. This action has been taken by the Insular Bureau, and no more silver will be purchased further than what Is necessary to fulfill the existing stipula tions with mints. It Is probable that the Philippine Com mission will demonetize Mexican dollars on January 1, 1901, but at the rate Mex ican dollars are now leaving the Islands, It appears such action will have very Utile effect. For the first nine days of Octo ber, 359,000 Mexican dollars have been ex ported from the Islands and none nas beVi Imported. The Philippine Commission will take steps to get Into the Philippine treasury by January 1 all tho Spanish coins In circulation, the intention being to issue the new Philippine pesos In their stead. Cablegrams received today from Gov ernor Taft stated that the buying rate of gold at Manila was 2.1S and the selling rate 2.20. This In Mexican, It Is supposed. A prominent representative ,of Philippine banking Interests estimates that there is no more than 4,000,000 Mexican dollars In the Islands at the present time. Tho London parity of silver today was 23, equal to 61.23 cents per ounce here. The purchases for the further coinage of Philippine pesos will bo about 400,000 or 500,000 ounces. It Is intended to coin the Spanish coins, when accumulated In the Philippine treasury, Into Philippine pesos. It is said that the amount of new cur rency now in tho islands, together with the Spanish coins and the United States currency, Is sufficient for the business of tho Philippines. BANKERS START WEST.
