URGED TO BOYCOTT.
President Deba Issues an Appeal to the Publio.
ASKED TO AID PULLMAN STRIKERS
Ity Refusing to Ride In the Company's Cam and by Contributions—Gompers Appuuli for Funds to
Defend Debs.
DKUH TO THK PITBI.IO.
CHICAGO, July 138.—President Debs and his assooiates prepared an appeal to the American people asking* them to boycott the Pullman oars by refusing to ride In them. An attempt will be made to yet every labor union in the United States to declare a formal boycott. Following- Is the text of the document: "HEADQ.UAaTKHti AMKH1CAN lUli.WAY UWION, Coo* COUNTY JAIL, CHICAGO, July &. —To the American Public It Is almost universally conceded that the Pullman company, through pft-repoated reductions of wages, exocsslve rents and many other causes, has grevlously wronged Its employes, and, whatever may be said about the great railway strike whloh resulted In consequence of such grievances, the arbitrary refusal of said Pullmau oompany to submit to arbitration in any form (even to decide the question if there was anything to arbitrate) is proof powltivo that said company had no faith in the Justice of Its cause and fears the disclosures that are certain to result from an honest investigation, and in view of the heavy loss entailed upon the country, such obstinacy on the part of the Pullman oompany is deserving of the severest condemnation.*
Why Arbitration Was Refused. "The Pullman company makes the plea that it Is asked of them that they shall run their works at a loss. The statement Is absolutely false. What was asked was arbitration, and this would have resulted in even-handed justioe. The Pullman oompany has robbed its employes and an investigation would have disclosed a state of affairs which would have horrified the nation. This Is why arbitration was refused. It Is notoriously true that the
Faith In the American People. "Shall the Pullman oompany have the support of the public In carrying out this hellish policy? Shall the publlo be a party to the starvation and degradation of the more than 4,000 employes—men and women whose only crime is that they ask living wages* We believe—Indeed, we know— what the answer will b*. We have faith in the American people. They uphold Justice they love fair play. And now, In the name of justioe and fair play, we appeal to the great Amerloan publlo, to every good man and every good woman, not to ride In a Pullman oar until the Pullman oompany doea Justice to Its employes. Let the car9 run absolutely empty. No friend of labor, no friend of humanity, will oooupy a seat or berth In a Pullman car. Let this polloy be Inaugurated and we will then see how long the railroad companies will be bound by their coutracts, as ttoy have Induced the publlo to believe, to haul Pullman oars.
Wilt Continue the Strike.
"We propose to continue this strike against the Pullman oompany through good and evil report and without regard to conseauences until justice shall be done. There will be no surrender. We will use every available and lawful means to press the contest. Dungeons shall not daunt us. The struggle is for humanity and against the most oruel tyranny, and, unless we are 'doud to every Impulse of mercy and fellow-feeling, must be crowned with buccess.
"Persons desiring to contribute money or supplies to Pullman employes will please forward same to David V. Oladman, treasurer, Pullman, 111. "It Is requestod that all papers throughout the land favorable to labor, to justioe. to humanity. copy this statement in full and keep It standing as long as possible. "Earnestly appealing to the great publfo to aid us In this unequal contest between a rich, powerful, arrogant and defiant corporation and Its famishing, half-olad employes, and relying with lmplloit faith upon the powerful triumph of the right, we subaorlbe ourselves very respectfully yours, "KUGKN* V.

CEAWFOEDSYILLE,
Pullman company pays
its conductors and porters such paltry wages that they are Jliged to depend upon the public to support them. Yes. this rich and powerful corporation virtually compels the publlo to pay the wages of its sleeping car employes, and this notwithstanding extortionate rates are charged for sleeping car accommodations. "We propose that the Pullman company shall be brought to justice and this In a way that will not necessitate a strike with Its attendant Ills. It may be suggested that this should have been thought of before the great strike was Inaugurated. In that oase little, if any, attention would have been paid to the appeal we are about to make. "As one of the results of the strike the country Is aroused and any proper appeal will oommand attention. The Pullman company, still defiant, and as cruel to ltd former employes as It is Indifferent to the publlo weal, is determined to starve Its employes Into submission. As remorseless as a man-eating tiger, It waits complacently until their last penny is gone and they are thus forced to crawl back into their heartless oppressor's employ. The speotaole is well calculated to make men and angels ihudder.

Deputy United States marshals on Saturday arrested the following direction oi Uto Amenoan Hallway union against whom are lndlotments for conspiracy to Interfere with the malls and to violate the Interstate commerce law) Messrs. Burns, Doyle, Goodwin. Etogan, Billot and MoVean. All gave tail in the sum of 88,000 each. Director Burns was lndloted twice, once under the statute making it a penal offense to deprive any citizen of hlfl rights—to wit: 8. H. Maxwell, a merchant doing businesa in Chicago, •hipping goods whioh were caught in VM atrlke Dlookade and could not be moved.
Qiimas at Pullman.
Offloers of the Pullman company have been served with notice that unless they make an effort to open the oar works troops will be withdrawn. The First regiment has now been in the Pullman district seventeen days, nearly twice as long as it was ever in service before. The expense to the state of keeping it out has been about 886,000.
The Pullman company is very well satisfied with the situation as it exists. Its works are being guarded as they never were before and the state of Illinois is paying all the bills. In a few weeks at the utmost the hungry employes will be compelled to surrender. Assistant Adjt. Gen. liayle and other military offloers of the state think that it 1b not their business to b«lp starve the workmen into submission, and so notice has haea served on the Pullman oompany that unless it furnishes some fxousa (of troops staying In the
field they will ~ba called in. There is little doubt that rioting will follow any attempt to start the shops. Tills was 6liown on Friday, when strikers attacked laundry girls twice during the day, and again Saturday, when a platoon of police was called to protect the laundresses going to work in the morning and returning to Koseland in the evening.
Some Notes.
President Debs emphatically denies the report of a shortage of 8127,000 in the funds of the American Railway union.
Mayor Ilopkins will keep the militia at the stook yards for an indefinite period, Superintendent Ashby having protested against its removal.
Officials of the A. B. U. olaim the old brotherhoods are disintegrating, and predlot that the Federation of Labor will be absorbed by the new American Labor union.
The mediation committee of the Sacramento (Cal.) A. B. U. has declared the Btrike off unconditionally.
For the Defense of Debs.
NEW YORK, July 88.—Now that the bitter railroad strike seems to be dying out the leaders of the local organizations are taking up the matter of securing the proper defense for Eugene Debs, president of the Amerioan Hallway union. This aotivity is in accord with an appeal Issued by President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, which will be published in the August number of the American Federatlonist, the official organ of the federation. It oites the cuuses for the imprisonment of Debs and says he is under indictment for conspiracy for obeying the Instructions of liin organization and requesting railroad men to quit work to aid their struggling fellow workmen, and declares that the purpose of the corporations is not alone to crush Debs, but they hope to force the men of labor Into silence and slavish submission. It concludes: "Debs must be defended, and ably defended. In hla person at this time he represents the rights of labor. Eugene V. Deb# Ik a poor man he has no money his trial and preparation for It will require a considerable amount, and we know that the workers of the country have never yet been appealed to In vain to help the cause of Junlee, humanity and right. All unions should contribute. We ask all laboring men to open subscriptions for the 'Debs legal defense fund.'
The Amerloan Federation heads the list with a subscription of 8500. Strikers Will Stand Mrtn.
SAN FKASCISOO, July 23.—Notwithstanding the action of the A. R. U. lodge in Sacramento In declaring the strike off unconditionally, the Oakland and San Franclsoo lodges decline to consider it off, and announce they will stand firm. This course wa» rieter. mined by unanimous vote at special meetings held Saturday night.
FRIENDS OF SILVER.

Warner, president of the American Bimetallic league, has issued the following address: "Tho country has now had a year's experience under the gold-standard polloy since the acts of 1693 oloslng the mints of India and the stoppage of the coinage of silver lu the Uulted States. The results of this experlenoe are manifest onsvsry hand In tho business depression of the oountry. In labor strikes and In general discontent that everywhere prevails. "Congress will soon complete Its work, and the general Situation and the prospeots before ibe oountry will then be fully disclosed. Some state elections, Involving the election of United States senators, have already been ontored upon, and the campulgn for the eleotlon of members of tho house of the Fifty-fourth congress will soon begin. "In view of these conditions the executive committee of the Amorlcun lilmetalilo league has thought it. advisable to call a conference of those who bellevo that no permanent Improvement in the oondltlou of the country can bo hoped for as long as the present gold standard polloy Is pursued and who favor the Immediate restoration of the bimetallic standard In the United States, with tho free coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. to be held at Washington Thursday.

She Is Proolaimed a Republic by President Dole.

A GREAT DAY FOR HAWAII. SAN FRANCISCO, July38.—'The Steamship Rio Janeiro which has just arrived from Orient brought the following news from Honolulu:
HONOLULU, July 18.—The provisional government is no more and tlie republic of Hawaii holds the reins of power. But It is only a change of name: the
8ANFOBD B. IIOI.E.
same people are In power, and the avowed purpose of the government is the same—to obtain annexation to the United States. The new constitution, which was finished on the 3d, was promulgated on the 4th of July from the front steps of the former palace. A large crowd was present and when President Dole appeared he was greeted by a mighty cheer. While surrounded by his cabinet,the military aud the members of tlie late constitutional government, he read the proclamation of the new republic, as follows:
Thu Proclamation.
"1. Sanforil 13. Dole, president of tho provisional government of the Huwullan islands, by virtue of the charge given mo by the executive uod advisory councils of tho provisional government and by act dated July 4, 18W, procluini the republic of Hawaii as the sovereign uuihorlty over artf throughout the Hawaiian inlands from this time forth. And I declare the constitution framed and adopted by the constitutional convention of 1894 to be the constitution and the supreme law of the republic of Hawaii and by virtue of this constitution 1 now assume the office and authority of president thereof. Long live the republic."
President Dole Quallltas.
After a great outburst of applause, Hon. J. W. Kaltia read the proclamation in the Hawaiian language when the Hawaiian flag was displayed over the executive and judiciary buildings. The battery saluted and the band played Hawaii I'onoi. The president then took then oath of office and announced the names of his cabinet, the same as under the provisional government, Hatch, Iving, Damon and Smith. The ollicials then retired to the interior of the building, where the oath was administered to the cabinet, judiciary and higher officials, and to some hundreds of citizens, each of whom received certificates of the fact.
No Military Display.
There was no military display whatever. The men on the l'liiladelphla were not landed, the government thinking it best not to give its enemies the chance to say, us they did before, that the change was made while United States troops were present to intimidate the royalists. Not tho slightest demonstration was attempted by the supporters of the ex-queen. On the evening of the Fourth the annexationists held a big mass-meeting for the purpose of ratifying the new constitution. ltoyallsts Protest.
A few evenings before tlie Fourth the royalists had a mass-meeting, at whioh about 2,000 were present, and passed resolutions protesting against the forming of the republic, claiming that President Cleveland had not yet answered the petition sent him by Liliuokalaui to be restored to the throne. Copies of this resolution were sent to tlie representatives of foreign governments, with the requets that they should not recognize the republic. It had no effect, however, as all these representatives have recognized it with the exception of Minister Woodhouse, the English minister, who stated that he would inform his government of the change.
Celebrated the Fourth.
The Fourth was celebrated in true American style, the double holiday making it peculiarly a day of jollification for Americans. Captain of the Marines Cochrane, of tlie Philadelphia, delivered the oration, ile showed himself an annexationist, opening hie speech by saying that he hoped soon to be able to call those present fellow-citizens. Throughout his oration he lauded the provisional government and its supporters. Admiral Walker and his staff were present and the admiral evidently indorsed the speech of C'apt. Cochrane. He was also at the executive building at the time of the promulgation, though not officially. The republic having been launched, Minister Thurston will probably return to Washington soon.
Formally Recognized.
Minister Willis in formally recognizing the republic said that he expected the cordial approval of President Cleveland. The republic has been generally recognized by the various consuls. lloyallHts io to Washington.
A royalist commission, consisting of Samuel I'arker, 11. A. Wideman and John A. Cmnmings left for Washington on the llio Janeiro July Ki to try to obtain an interview with the president with the idea of forcing him to give them an answer as to what he intends to do in the Hawaiian mutter.

WAR SAID TO BK CERTAIN.
LONDON, July 23.—A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that war between China and Jupan is considered certain. The London reporter of tha Associated press visited the Japanese legation here to learn if possible whether the report was true that war had been declared between China and Japan because of the differences between the two powers in regard to Corea. No official denial or confirmation of the report could be had, but the whole staff of the legation made no attempt to disguise their delight at the thought of war with China. At tho Chinese legation it was Btated that no news of a declaration of war had been received. It was added that if the rumor was true the first report of it would come from Japan and not from China.
Sent IO.O0O Men to Corea.
The latest information received at the legation was to the effect that 10,000 Chinese troops had started for Corea.

China Preparing lor War.

Causes uf the Trouble*
NEW YOHK, July 28.—The causes of the present trouble over Corea are thus enumerated In an Interview in London by Henry Norman, an Englishman who has spent Bomo time In that country "First of ull comes a permanent ill-leellng between Chinese and Japanese, who have a rooted dislike for ono another. Second, their mutual jealousy as the two groat far eastern powers. Third, there are Japan's vastly preponderant luterests population, shipping, trade-in Corea, against China's anolent suzerainty and her modern political control of Corean affairs. Fourth, the rebellion in Corea. threatening nil foreigners, including Japanese, stands for something, bui not so much as has been made out. for Corean rebellions are not very serious affairs. Fifth. Japan is exasperated by ttye decoying of the pro-Jap&neee-Corean rebel, Klm-Ok-Kyun, from his refuge in Toklo and his brutal murder In Shanghai, winked at by the Chinese government. Sixth. Japai Is afraid, not without reason, that China is about to settle her difficulties with Russia by allowing the latter to occupy a port on the eAst coast of Corea. Finally both countries believe themselves to possess powerful forces of the European kind, and aro not sorry to have au opportunity of showing what they ean do with them. This Is much truer of Japan than of China.
