Aug. 1".-Ma.r Knotts. of Hammond, was in Muncle to-day on lal business. When questioned concerning his famous letter to the manufacturers of M mmond. requesting them to employ no one but married men. he said that many papers had taken the wrong view entirely of his proo-ition. He jaid he did not mean th letter as a sensational attack on bachelorism but as a serious expression of his views on a great economic question. "My idea." said the mayor, "is lhat the hk earners of Hammond shall haVe some economic responsibility besides their wages. They should have families, should own property, which condition make peace and contentment in any city. I do not mean that every employe should be a married man but, if he is any good at all. he should soon be. nme a property owner. That is the first siep toward his beeomlng a husband and father. When a man has these responsibilities he will'betome a good, peace-loving, fearless citisen. who will foster the best interests of his city and shun the little differences which have in many cases arawaoi Sdf ftuUI and destructive strikes. "In the great railroad nots which we bad ;it Hammond in 189-1." continued the mayor. '"the men who blustered and did the bullying wen the ones who had no responsibility. W hen the soldiers cam" these men fled from the city. Had they been married, had they had homes ami property in Hammond, had they felt that they were fighting for home, liberty and against oppression, they would have met the soldiers with the eoiirage of men who knew they were right. But this would not have been necessary, for the marrP d man or the property l:oldr would have settled the trouble to the benefit of both the striker and the employer without the shedding of blood. "1 am not lightly attacking bachelors and eld maid societies as the papers would have yea believe." said the mayor in concluding his talk to the Journal representative, "but this is a serious question with nie. I am wrestling with an economic question which I hope to settle, to some extent, for the betterment of my city." mo coiatv's PUTS. CommiMMioners Are (letting Bendy to Have a Bond-Fire.

Hammond, for $40.000. representing, with interest. ;i nole which was made by Mr. Hammond lo his wife in IS?:!, for llT.oiö in payment of indebtedness of Thomas C. Hammond to his wife. It is cluimed by the crediuos that the note was illegal because the estate was insolvent at the time it was made.

ORIENT SKIES ARE DARK Itt SSO-J APAMi; SITI ATIOX IS DISTINCTLY THRF.ATF.MNG. Paper hniiRc Front and Openly Denounce Hnaain A Vigorous Chinese Kxecntive. LONDON. Aug. 18. -Inquiries in diplomatic circles here shew that the situation in the far East is regarded by some diplomats as being as threatening as the Balkan situation. The Japanese officials hardly attempt to conceal their belief that their government will act in the far East should an opportunity offer. Dispatches received here fnm Yokohama under to-day's date say the leading newspapers of Tokio have abandoned the silence hitherto observed regarding the situation in Korea and publish articles strongly denouncing the action of Russia. The Jiji declared it is time to show Korea that Japanese patience is exhausted, while the Shimbun urges the government to demand explanations of Russia. Both the papers mentioned are newspapers of moderate tone. A news agency interview with Count Kayashi. the Japanese minister, quotes him as saying: "Not only , but my government, disclaims all the panic stories of war between Russia and Japan. All fears of a conflict are groundless. Both Russia and Japan are really trying to be conciliatory. War would not bp an advantage to either. So far it hss been a game of bluff. Japan has no warships building in England and has not Increased the strength of her army in view of possible events.'' WORKING OLT A REFORM. Viceroy Shen Is Doing Things iu n Disorderly Province. PEKING, Aug. 19. At the request of Viceroy Shen, the Yang-Tse viceroys recently sent a considerable body of troops to assist in restoring order at Kwang-Si. The administration of Shen is being characterized by remarkable activity and thoroughness, lie has followed up the removal of Governor Wang Chin Chun and Marshal Su by punishing and removing from office many incapable and dishonest officials. Information from trustworthy sources shows that the disturbances have not been aused by an anti-dynastic movement, but have been due probably to large numbers of unpaid troops, during Su's regime, joining the turbulent element of the population and organizing independent bands which preyed on the trade of the province. Already there are signs that the viceroy's vigorous policy is producing an effect. Bandit leaders have offered. In accordance with the usual Chinese custom, to discuss arlangements whereby their forces may take service under the imperial government. Acting under the taotai's general instructions, the magistrates of the Nanhus district near Shanghai, have arrested four retortners charged with delivering public lectures contrary to the orders of the government.
