STATH FEDERATION' MOIRNS FOR PRESIDENT M'KINLEY. Ccolgoex and Ills Kind Denounced In a Resolution Passed at the Convention nt Brazil. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL. Ind., Sept. 23. The State Federation of Labor took up tho general routine of business this morning, and resolved to petition Congress to renew the Gary Chinese exclusion bill, which expires next May. A miner from No. 11 bituminous district offered "a resolution asking the Federation to prosecute the Bituminous Operators' Association for violating the state law by compelling the miners to purchase powder from them, and the matter was referred to a committee. The following resolutions on the death of President McKinley were adopted: "Whereas. President McKinley, of the United States, was the victim of an assassin, being shot down in a most fiendish and cowardly manner by an avowed Anarchist of the most dangerous class; therefore, be it "Resolved; That the Indiana Federation of Labor, in convention assembled, condemns the teaching which was responsible for the inhuman monster Czolgocz taking the life of that true patriot and great American, William McKinley, our beloved executive. "Resolved, That anarchy, which calls for the murder of our rulers, is repugnant to the spirit of our free institutions, is an enemy of civilization, is an enemy of God, and violates the exalted standard to which a hlfeher enlightenment points to the human race. "Besolved, That as the United States is a representative government, and the ruler is the choice of the people, there Is no justification in this country for shooting those who are chosen to govern, as it is always in the power of the American people to elect other men to office if the incumbents are not satisfactory. "Resolved, That as Czolgocz committed a murder that Was not aimed as a blow at the man, but at our institutions, wc deem that the greatest penalty of the law should be meted out to the fiend, as such punishment is mild to what he deserves. "Resolved, That we extend cur condolence to the widow of our late lamented President, and hope that after she has passed through the trials and sorrows of this world she will be reunited with him in the portals of eternity. "Resolved, That a stringent law should be enacted to suppress and punish those who teach the theory that Czolgocz put into practice. "Resolved, That as a further mark of respect the secretary of the convention be instructed to secure a quantity of black cloth and drape the convention hall during the remainder of the session." 1 IRI1-:ST HAD TO LEAVE. Walter Landls Writes of iho Fceline In 1'orto Rico. Sp?clal to th Indiana polia Journal. DELPHI, Ind., Sept. 23. A letter received in Delphi from Walter Landis, postmaster of San Juan, Porto Rico, tells how the news of President McKinley' assassination fell upon the people of that island. "The firt announcement of it came like a withering blast," says Mr. Landis, "and, save in the nest of anarchistic reptiles that breathe even their poison here, I think there was universal regret for the act and general execration of the wretch who did the work. A few of the ultra Spanish remnants here probably exulted quietly over the occurrence, but I think the general situation Is exemplified by an Incident that occurred a week ago at Aguas Buenas. It is a small interior town. A priest, who formerly drew his sustenance from the treasury of Spain and who has since probably been on short rations, said that the shooting of McKinley was a righteous act and the visiting upon him of the wrath of God for his many Pins, the cardinal one of which was waging war on Spain. "The utterance was no sooner out than his congregation got up and left the church in a body, and within an hour, upon the advice of friends, the priest had left town to avert the probability of being mobbed. I am glad to say, however, that exhibitions of this viperish spirit have probably been as rar here as in the United States, and the almost universally sympathetic tone of the Porto Rican expression has tended toward a better feeling between the American and the native elements." JAPAN'S INFLUENCE Round to Re Strengthened In China by Her Just Conduct. LONDON, Sept. 25. The Times, in an editorial to-day, says there Is nothing theatrical about the exchange of messages between the Emperors of China and Japan, yet it may prove of greater an I more lasting importance in Eastern polltk s than more ostentatious performances. Tli;re is, says the Times, a ring of relative sincerity in many passages of Emperor Kwang Su's letter are not observeable in all his recent autographs. The most progressive and patriotic of the Chinese viceroys and governors are, pays the editorial, quite sensible of the services Japan has rendered to China. They know that Japan owes her present greatness to the skill with Which she borrowed all that suited her from Western civilization, and they have an instinctive feeling that China cannot nttcmpt to find salvation under better guidance than that of Japan To Japan belongs the credit of bing the first power to tell the Chinese plainly that permanent peace in Asia will best be gained by speedy reform.

The Volks Zeitung, of Vienna, says: "The close alliance between the two states and the intimate friendship between the two monarchs have secured for Europe peace during nearly twenty years. This alone is sufficient to justify a warm welcome of the troops of the. neighboring state.

MANCHURIA GOLD FIELDS RISSIANS MINING ILLEGALLY GET FRO 31 i."e TO HM A DAY. The Country Is One of the 31ot Fertile in the World, Says Federal Commercial Agent Greener. WASHINGTON. Sept. 25. The State Department has received from Commercial Agent Greener, at Vladivostock. under dato of July 21, a comprehensive report on conditions in Manchuria. Mr. Greener says that there is much exaggeration as to th number of Russian troops in Manchuria. Ho places their number at about 20.000. Manchuria, he says, has an area of SC3,0oJ square miles, and is one of the most fertll countries on the globe. "The Manchus," says Mr. Greener, "hav barely scratched the surface, and yet the business activity, the actual traffic and the tangible results aru a continual surprise." American goods, it is stated, already tr known and favored on account of their cheapness. As to Russia's plans in regard to Manchuria, Mr. Grc-ener says: "The Russian' policy is one of conciliation, .lie knows how to deal with the Chinese. Re will not supersede the Manchu as an agriculturist. however, or even as a miner. It will be some time before he is a success, in the Western sense, in either of these lines." As to exploring permits for mining and other purposes, it is tdated that such permission eloes not now depend on Russian ' authority, but must come from Peking through the Chinese governors. The area of gold fields in Manchuria, says Mr. Greener, extends more than 1.127 miles along the shores ef the Argun and Amur rivers, and there is no doubt as to the richness of the mines. He says that small parties of Russians Illegally mining there earned from J;J0 to $100 a day. The statements that no fcrtlgners are allowed to go into Manchuria, says Mr. Greener, are to an extent true. Only Russians and Chinese may go into the country overland. It would not be safe, he says, for many foreigners to venture into the country now. Zionist Convicted of Manslaughter. -VICTORIA, B.
