TH"R MOBNING OKF.OONTN. SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900! ITS PLAN TO ARBITRATE NEW CHICAGO COMFAJTV THAT FRQ POSES TO SETTLE STRIKES. Promoters Are, Seeking the Indorse ment of. the American .Feder ation of Labor. - DENVER, Colo., July 20 Edwin D. Chadwick and W. R. Trashcr, of Chi cago, submitted to the executive coun cil of the American "Federation of La bor today a plan which they are confident will result In the speedy settlement of the great building and trades strike in Chica go. The council, after listening to the propositions of the gentlemen and read ing the drafts they had brought to show that they represented many of the wealthiest men In Chicago, appointed Messrs. KIdd and Lennon to investigate the proposition thoroughly- Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Trasher represent a- new com pany, known as the Labor & Guarantee Association. Neither they nor the mem bers of the council will divulge the plan proposed. "All I can say in regard to the matter, said Mr. Chadwick, "is that the associa tion proposes to act as an intermediary between employers and employes, and our method, of procedure will be submitted tp the council In a fulr report by the subcommittee appointed for that purpose. "We intend to proceed on lines entirely different from anything before suggested, proposing to Introduce an entirely new method of dealing with labor troubles. We want the indorsement of the council; for without it the plan and purposes of the association would fall. "We are par ticularly interested in the Chicago build ing trades strike and cannot make known our plan until we get the indorsement for fear of being forestalled In Chicago. Our first work, of course, would be in Chicago, but the association would, if successful, extend its scope so as to make it National in character." The council took up the matter of the American Agents, whose charter was re voked at the last convention of the Fed eration, and by resolution President Gom pers was Instructed to notify all local labor unions that they will not be al lowed representation In the Federation as long as they remain in any way con nected wlththe American Agents, which the council declares is not a bona fide labor organization. The tabooed asso ciation embraces local sales agents of small manufactured articles, insurance agents and agents of the allied lines of that character. The Coeur d'Alene strike trouble was taken up this afternoon and President Gompers and Messrs. Duncan and KIdd were Instructed to visit the district, make e thorough investigation of the case, and report to the Federation. Mr. Gompers afterwards stated that It would be sev eral weeks before they can take the mat ter up, as several other cases must be considered first. Sympathetic Strike Threatened. ST. LOUIS, July 20. A special to the Post Dispatch from Dallas, Tex., says: It has been informally decided by the Trades Association and American Feder ation of Labor that unless the strike trouble on the Consolidated Street Rail way lines are settled by next Sunday, there will be a general walk-out of the trades for the purpose of showing sym pathy and through a general boycott and suspension of business compel arbi tration. There are 4000 men in the trades who will respond, it is said. EARL LI'S MEMORIAL, His Petition for Peace .to the Em press Doiragrer. NEW YORK. July" 20. A dispatch to the Herald from Canton says: The following copy of the Viceroy's Joint memorial, which is being signed for presentation to the Dowager Empress, was obtained .from LI Hung Chang, pre vious to his departure for Pekin: "Henceforth all nations will see that our government had no Intention lightly to engage in hostilities, and only did so when it was found unavoidable. Their anger and resentment will, as a matter of course, be at once appeased, after hav ing respectfully considered the sentiment indicated in a decree. "We have decided to ask that these may be enlarged on in five ways. We would ask: "First That a decree be Issued ordering the Tartar Generals and Viceroys and Governors to continue the usual system of affording protection to foreign mer chants and missionaries, so as to show that although hostilities are In progress, noncombatants are still under the gov ernment's protection and to display more clearly the heaven-l!ke mercy of the sacred throne. "Second The lightness or severity of the measures of the foreign powers "will de pend solely upon the fate of their Min isters. We hear that the rebels disobey the edicts and continue the attack on the Legations. Foreign papers state, with reference to the assassination of the Ger man Minister, that the German Emperor has made his troops swear revenge. All Ministers abroad have telegraphed, and all the telegrams from foreign sources state, as do also the Consuls-General in Shanghai, that the one thing of para mount Importance is the safety of foreign Ministers. If China can only save them there will be room for discussion of all matters, and other nations will be able to make 'terms of peace for us. "Third We would also beg that a clear ly worded .decree be Issued, expressing the deepest and most sincere regret on the part of the Chinese Government for the assassination of the German Minister, and that a letter in the same tenor be sent to the German Emperor. Then we can wait for other countries to mediate for us with Germany. We also pray that letters be sent to the American and French Governments, so as to show the desire of China to strengthen her friend ship with them and to treat all nations with equal consideration. "Fourth We also beg that a decree may be Issued giving authority to the Shun Tien Prefect and Chi Li Viceroy to find out. apart from the results of military preparations, what foreigners and mis sionary establishments have suffered through this outbreak of rebellion, to make a list of the losses of life and property, and then to apply for an edict granting charitable compensation as a proof of the throne's merciful kindness and unwillingness to have guiltless people Involved to their detriment. "FJfth We would also ask that a de cree be Issued to the Viceroys, Govern ors and high military authorities of all provinces, saying that if any disorderly criminals or mutinous soldiers are really annoying or harming well-conducted peo ple, or committing arson, assassination or acts of robbery, they have permission to suppress them as the opportunity af fords and report the measures taken to the throne. This Is the policy always hitherto adopted to bring peace upon the land and hold off those from the out side. The capital must first be pacified and people's minds will then be quieted. Military discipline must be rigidly en forced before the morale of the troops can be raised." Placards were posted In the streets of Canton this mornln? by British mer chants, protesting against the departure of Li Hung Chang, and invoking' all re sponsible men to unite In efforts to in duce him to stay. Crowds of merchants thronged to the Viceroy and begged him to remain, presenting on their knees a petition bearing the inscription: "We humbly and respectfully entreat your ex cellency to stay." Li Hung Chang appeared much moved, but told the petitioners he dared not dis Tbeythe mandate from Pekin. He urgv them to use their influence with their neighbors and inferiors to induce them to Tespect the laws. The populace then tried to block the streets and keep the city gates shut, jo as to prevent LI Hung Chang from leav ing, but soldiers cleared the pffrasre, and he finally embarked on board the Chinese steamship Anplng, with a suite of 2S1 persons, and sailed direct for Hong Kong. Before sailing' the Viceroy acknowledged to the American Consul that he received an edict from the Empress last night appointing hlntf Viceroy of Chi Li and commanding him to proceed thither im mediately. He will never return to Can ton. " t ' MASSACRE-IN PERSIA Three Thousand' Christians Killed "by Mohammedan. CHICAGO, July SO.. A special to the Record from Peoria, 111., says: George Shimoon, a Persian student who has been attending college in Illinois for several years and Is passing the jam mer In Peoria, today received a cablegram from his home at Oroomlah, Persia, stat ing that his brother had been captured by Mohammedans and that there has been a general massacre of 3000 Christians In Oroomlah. The letter states that the feeling of the Mohammedans against the native Christians Is growing, and that there have been several hand-to-hand bat tles with fatalities on both sides. Mr. Shlmoon's father is a native missionary, and this fact adds to the wrath against him and his family. The Transvaal Campaign. LONDON, July 20.

GENERAL GORDON OFFENDED General Shaw's Plea for the Blotting Out of Reminders of the Civil War, ATLANTA, Ga,, July 20. John B. Gor don, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Confederate Veterans, disobeying his physician's orders, went with tho oth er veterans to a barbecue this afternoon and sat side by side with General Albert Shaw, Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. All the invited guests made speeches, but the second on the programme, that of General Shaw, did not please General Gordon, and for a time reconciliation was forgotten. Gen eral Shaw's speech was for the most part conciliator" and was well received, yet his reference that most of the reminders of the great struggle should be blotted out In the families of the South was not received with favor. In his speech he uttered these words, and they went deep ly into General Gordon's heart: "What I am anxious to see Is the dis appearance of all unworthy reminders of the terrible conflict and the culture of political unity and righteousness all over the country. There can now be but on idea of American citizenship, of the Stars and Stripes, one bulwark of future Na tional glory and one tone of patriotic teachings for all and by all. In this view tho keeping alive of sectional teachings as to the Justice and rights of the cause of the South in the hearts of children is all out of order, unwise, unjust and ut terly opposed to the tendency by which great Chief Lee brought the cause of the South to final surrender. I deeply deplore all agencies of this sort because in honor and In chivalric American manhood and womanhood, it shows that it should not be tolerated for an instant." At the cjose of General Shaw's speech General Gordon came forward. Ho had spoken briefly before and his appearance again caused considerable surprise. The enthusiasm quieted Instantly. General Gordon said he could not teach his chil dren that he fought for what was wrong. He entered battle for what he believed was right, and "only the Judgment day and God himself will ever decide who was right." "Let n cherish the memories," con tinued General Gordon, "and the history that is recorded in heaven that both sides were right in fighting for what they be lieved was right. Let us settle once and for all this question on a basis commen surate with the manhood of the sides engaged in the great struggle; let us set tle it on a basis of that immaculate truth that both sides were fighting for the Const. on of their forefathers." General Shaw responded beautifully to the General's speech. He stated that he had prepared the speech with care and much of the material therein was gath ered from speeches made by General Gordon in the North. "Our children should bo taught," said General Shaw.' "the true glory and sub limity of our one country; the fathers should teach them this. Let them be so alike, the children of the North and of the South, that no difference will be per ceptible." The incident closed with three cheers for the blue and the gray. The speakers of the day were General Albert Shaw, General John B. Gordon, Governor James A. Mount, of Indiana: Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge. General J. C Breckinridge, General A. P. Stewart, of Chattanooga, and General O. O. Howard. The barbecue this afternoon closed the reunion in this city of the blue and gray. In the Nature of an Obstacle. Guide This Is Bunker Hill.

Ten Eyck "Won the Paris Singles Dauntless Crew the Intermediate Eights Vespers, Paris Fours. NEW YORK, July 20. The second day of the National regatta over the speed way course on the Harlem River was pro ductive of -some excellent oarsmanship, and the sport generally was of a higher class than on the opening day. The weather was fine, but a strong breeze blow directly against the crews, and at times the water, where not sheltered, was rough. The first event was the Paris singles, in which Rumohr. Ten Eyck and Titus started. Ten Eyck and Rumohr caught the water together and for the first min ute both rowed iO strokes, and their shells were bow and bow. After this Ten Eyck forged ahead as Titus was well in the rear, and began to work over towards Rumohr's water and gave him the benefit of his wash. Thus they rowed for a quarter of a mile, when Ten Eyck drew away a little more and was directly in front of Rumohr's bow. At this point Rumohr spurted The shells seemed to touch, and Rumohr raised his hand, claiming a fouL Rumohr stopped rowing, but on seeing the referee s boat did not slacken speed, rowed and finished two and one-half lengths behind Ten Eyck." The referee, Walter Stlmpson, of Boa ton, when asked to explain why Ten Eyck was not disqualified, said: "There may have been a foul, but I did not see it." Had the referee decided that Ten Eyck fouled Rumohr, the race would have been rowed over again, for the re gatta committee Jong ago agreed that none of the Pari races could be decided on fouls. The Crescent Boat Clun, of Philadel phia, won the second trial heat of the Intermediate double-scull event by three lengths, with the Nonpareils, of New York, second, and the AUantas third. The Wachusett Boat Club, of Worcester, Mass., and the Vespers, of Philadelphia, withdrew from the senior fours, and It was rowed In one heat, the starters be ing the Detroit Boat Club, of Detroit, Mich.; Institute Boat Club, of Newark, N. J., and the Jeffries Point Rowing Asso ciation, of Boston. The Detroit crew won. C. S. Titus, of New Orleans, won the second heat of the Association singles, with Amos Kubi. of the Springfield Boat Club, second. The other starter, James Bend, quit at the mile post. The intermediate elght-oared shell waa the best race of the day. Four crews, the Daunltess, of New York; Maltas and Falrmounts, of Philadelphia, and the Po tomacs, of Washington, started. After passing the quarter-mile mark. the Dauntless assumed the lead and gained at eyery stroke, crossing the line five lengths ahead of the Fairmonts, the Mal tas being third by half a length. The second heat of the Paris fours was perhaps the most peculiar race ever seen at a championship meeting. The Vespers and. Institutes were the only starters. At the crack of the pistol the Vespers went to the front, and at the half-mile mark were eight lengths ahead of their rivals. Then the Institutes be gan to gain and inch by inch overhauled the leaders. The Vespers, however, stuck to their work, and by sheer plugging crossed the line two feet ahead of the In stitutes.

He Believes the Administration Will Do Its Duty. LINCOLN, Nob., July 20t Mr. Bryan today gavo out the following Interview in regard to the situation in China: "Everyone deplores the destruction of life in China .and is horrified at the bar barities practiced. Everyone believes that it is the duty of our Government to pro tect the lives and property of American citizens residing in China, and I have no doubt that the Administration willlo so. I also take it for granted that all Ameri can citizens will withdraw from China temporarily or take refuge in some sea port where they can be protected by American ships until the excitement is over. If the Chinese Government has tried in good faith to protect our citi zens, suitable punishment for the guilty and reparation and indemnity for those who have suffered can doubtless be se cured. If, upon Investigation, it is found that the Chinese Government has not acted in good faith. Congress has power to deal with the matter. For several years European nations have been threat ening to dismember China and it is not strange that their ambitious designs should arose a feeling of hostility toward foreigners. That feeling, however, ought not to be directed against American citi zens and will not be if our Nation makes it known that it has no desire to grab land or t6 trespass upon the rights of China. A firm adherence to the Ameri can policy of Justice and fair dealing will not only set an example to other nations, but will give our citizens residing in China the' best promise of security. It will be better for our merchants to have It known that they seek trade only when trade is actually advantageous; It will be better for our missionaries to have it known that they are preaching the gospel of love and are not the fore runners of fleets and armies."

Captain No alts Also Gave BaranBlng Testimony Governor Taylor's Name Brought In. GEORGETOWN, Ky., July 20. Miss An nie Welst, of Louisville, who was sten ographer to Auditor Sweeney, and was in the Auditor's office in the executive building when the Goebel assassination occurred, was the first witness called In the Powers trial today. She heard three shots In the direction of the oHce of the Secretary of State. Immediately after the shooting several strangers came Into the room, but they did not speak of tho shooting, and it was five minutes before she heard what had occurred. Witness said Henry Youtsey came into her office the day of the Van Meter-Berry contest and told her she had better leave the Statehouse, as trouble was likely. Wit ness said that a fow minutes after the shooting. Assistant Secretary of State Matthews stationed two men with guns at the door of the building, with orders to allow no one to either enter or leave the building. Miss Snuffer, of Williamsburg, testified that Powers told her January 14 that be fore he would be robbed of his position he would kill the last one of them, atthe samo time exhibiting a pistol. A letter, said to have been written by Powers, was read, in which Powers said he did not want to see Charles Finley. There was no need of an understanding to enable them to tell the truth. Finley was as innocent as he. Powers, was." This was written four days' before Pow ers' arrest. Robert Nooks testified that John Pow ers and Charles Finley conferred with him in November after the election, rela tive to briging armed men to Frankfort at the time of the state election. They told him they wanted him to bring- as many men as he could to Intimidate the election commissioners. Noaks told of be ing asked by Caleb Ppwers to get a com pany of militia, composed of men who could fight, and to get smokeless-powder cartldges. He secured a company and it was mustered in Asked if Powers ever spoke to him about Goebel, Noaks said "Yes." Powers said the contests would amount to nothing and that when Goebel was dead no man In the state could hold the party together. Noaks testified that after he went to Frankfort, Caleb Powers came to him and said: "Bob, I understand you have two men in your company who would kill a man If you- wanted them to do It." "I told him," said Noaks, "that I did not believe I had such a man. That afternoon, when the men were being sent home. Caleb Powers told me to keep 10 or 12 of our best men and to keep Chad well and Jones. My military company was taken with me. They wore citizens clothes with their uniforms under them. We were told by Powers to do this, so we would be ready for military service. W. H. Culton told me I must keep six of my men under arms all of the time. I went to Assistant Adjutant Dixon and told him I wanted to turn over my com pany, for I had become satisfied that Goebel would be seated aa Governor, and I did not want to serve under him. Dixon told me not to be discouraged, as Goebel would not be Governor. I was tired, and asked Powers how long this was going on. He said not much longer, as Goebel would be killed and that would settlo It. That morning I checked two large pistols and a rifle for Berry Howard. Yes, I saw Governor Taylor that morning. I went into his office, took my pistols off and put them Into a bookcase. I passed some words with him at the time." At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, Noaks will be cross-examined. HELD WITHOUT BAIL. Jessie Morrison Charged With Mur der in the First Degree. ELDORADO, Kan., July 20. Miss Jessie Morrison, whose preliminary trial for the murde" of Mrs. Olln Castle has been In, progress here for several days, was this evening held without ball to answer the charge of murder In the flrst degree be fore the next term of the District Court. Miss Morrison will be confined In the County Jail at Wichita, as the Jail here Is not provided with apartments for women. Just before the young prlsonor was taken back to the Jail she embraced her father, and both wept bitterly. The scene was most pathetic, and there were few dry eyes in tho court. Several times during the day Miss Mor rison broke down under the strain. When County Attorney Brumback, in his clos ing argument, "related the story of the tragedy and declared that In the heart of Olln Castle, husband of the slain ftroman, there was an utter afcsence of love for Miss Morrison, the prisoner leaijed her head on her brother's arm and wept. Again, when Attorney Cramer, speaker for tho defense, referred to tno deep sympathy for the two afflicted fam ilies. Miss Morrison covered her face and cried. Neither Side Gets Mining: Claim. PORTLAND, July 19. (To the Editor.) I notice in your Chehalls, Wash., corre spondence of yesterday a statement that the contest over my mining claim In the St. Helens mining district was decided against me and in favor of U. M. Lauman and J. G. Copley, who Jumped my claim. Your correspondent is wrong In his state ment. The verdict of the Jury was against both parties. They found that neither party had properly located the claim. They did not find that the Jump ers, Lauman and his partner, had the mine. The finding of the Jury that the lo cations of both parties was void was because of the instructions of the Judge. The Judge found defects in all the notices of location, and these defects were so serious as virtually to render the loca tions void. I am profoundly thankful, however, that this case wa3 another In stance of the fact that an honest Jury does not like a "Jumper." If one of theco raon, who aim to profit by the efforts of others, succeed in taking another man's claim, he will generally find a rocky road before an honest Jury. A.

It is known to everybody that silk is electrified by friction. Acting upon tho suggestion thus furnished, a French sa vant. M. Henry, has made experiments which show that the electrification of the air, enclosed In a tissue of silk pro duces a'circulatlon of its particles which tends to equalize the temperature. A similar effect Is observable in wool, and hence the superiority of silk and wool for garments intended to protect the body against vicissitudes of climate. Notable Phonogrraphlc Records.

SUBMARINE OIL WELLS NEW AND RADICAL DEPARTURE IN A GREAT INDUSTRY. Development of This Field Brought Abont by Peculiar Circumstance Cost of Working- a Well. Drilling wells in the sea is' the latest and most remarkable, as well as the most picturesque, feature of the great cruda oil Industry, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. This new and radical depart ure, a difficult and expensive undertaking, to say the least, has been successfully carried out at Summerlend. Cal., the only" place where It ever has been attempted, and there the precious brown fluid Is now pumped from beneath the Pacific Ocean at the rate of about 100 carloads per month, from scores of holes, while many more wells are being bored. Tho development of this remarkable field was brought about by peculiar cir cumstances, and commenced tut a few years ago, when the oil Industry had be gun to boom In the East. The first well3 were drilled on the bluff, where oil had been discovered 20 years previously in sinking for water, and where there sti.l are many good producers. But Sum merland was a beautiful place, a quiet little colony of Spiritualists, and they op posed the advent of greasy and unsightly derricks on the hills. Besides. It was ob served that wells were better the nearer they were sunk to the ocean, and conse quently the operators began to crowd each other toward the water line. Final ly, S. W. Knapp. of Santa Barbara, con ceived a plan of getting ahead of all his competitors by building a wharflike structure along the beach and drilling out where the Pacific's breakers roll. The ex pense was heavy, but the well proved to be a "gusher." Others followed Knapp's example, going farther and farther out, until there are dozens of wharves extend ing 1CC0 feet Into the sea. connected by structures running parallel with the beach. And on these wharves, often so near each other as to be almost crowded. are the derricks largo ones for drilling and smaller ones for pumping and all In use. Operations are grcrtly facilitated by tho fact that the oil strata, of which there are two. He only from 125 to 2C0 feet below the surface. Drilling Is carried on in practically the same manner as on land, the only obstoe'e encountered, after the extensive pre.Imlnary work of building wharves and getting machinery out upon them Is done, being the water. Until tho hole is well begun that obstacle Is great, but It Is overcome by means of casing, and operations are carried on readily in 20 feet.' The cost of drilling at the pres ent time is about $1 per foot, though some Is done as low as Sj cents. When the shallowness Is considered, it wLl ba seen that on the whole the total cost of these wells will compare very favorably with those elsewhere and on land. Bet In the Improbable event of a violent storm, such as sometimes travels along the Atlantic coast, all traces of this nov 1 oil field wharves, derricks and machin erywould be swept away In a minute, and the loss would be enormous. As to the extent and productiveness of this strange ocean oil field, an Idea may be gleaned from the following figures: There are nearly ?00 wells, and the aver age output per day Is said to be about 25 barrels, or a t..al of 7500 barrels. The product is of high grade and sells for an average price of W cents a barrel, which means a total of over JG0O0 per day, or about 5180.000 per month. Much of the oil goes under long contracts to the Immense Oxnard beet 3Ugar factory, while thou sands of barrels are shipped to San Fran cisco at short intervals. The cost of pumping a well is only about 30 cents per day. To Illustrate how closely the derricks stand, It may be stated that the Sea Cliff Oil Company, producing 3000 barrels a month, has a wharf 800 feet long and 19 wells. The Treadwell Company has the longest wharf, extending 12C0 feet from shore, with a pumping well at the extreme end and 18 others at Intervals. And there are a dozen other concerns with numerous wharves. Much oil Is necessarily wasted under the peculiar conditions which pre vail, and this, dripping upon the water, has the effect of making a considerable patch of old ocean as calm and smooth as a land-locked bay, adding much to the striking oddity of the scene. Often when new wells are opened the gas pres sure Is so strong that streams of oil spurt out upon the water until the surface la black. In strange contrast with the dis tant blue.
