I absolutely. an3 rein-ess that sort of 1 independence which leads to labor organizations and their attempts at mediaI tion, arbitration, strikes, ets. On the j other hand, it is an economic principle 1 generally recognized that the shutting : down of such a plant and the scattering : of its forces usually result in a greater j loss han that exhibited by the continu- , a nee of 'business. The Pullman eomj pany could hardly shut down for seven I H-d a half m nihs at a erst and los3 of I less than 1 per cent, upon Its capital and ' fcurpius.

The men at Pullman claim that t the company, during 1533-94. set the pace . through experts, so that with their forced ; loss of time an average man could earn ! little more than the rent of his home, ; owned by the company. The companyalleges that it simpiy readjusted piecework prices to suit the necessities of the times. Some witnesses swear that at times, for the work done in two weeks, thy received in checks from 4 cents to 51 over and above their rent. The company has not produced its checks In rebutta!. During all of this reduction and its attendant suffering none of the salaries of the ofllcers. managers or superintendents were reduced. Reductions in these would not have been so severely felt, would have shown good faith, would have relieved the harshness of the situation and would have evinced genuine sympathy with labor in the disasters of the times. "In its statements to the public, which are in evidence, the company represents that its object in all It did was to continue operations for the benefit of its workmen and tradespeople in nnd nbout Pullman and to save the public from the annoyance of interrupted travel. The commission thinks that the evidence shows that it sought to keep running mainly for its own benefit a? a manufacturer, that Its plant might not rust; that its competitors might not invade its territory; that it might keep Its cars In repair; that it might e ready for resumption when business revived with a live plant and competent help, und that Its revenue from Its tenements might continue. "If we exclude the aesthetic and sanitary features at Pullman, the rents there are from 20 to 23 per cent, higher than rents in Chicago or surrounding towns for similar accommodations. The aesthetic features are admired by visitors, but -have no money value to employes, especially when they lack bread. The company makes all repairs and heretofore has not compelled tenants to pay for them. UnCt the printed leases, however, which tenants must sign, they agree to pay for all repairs which nre either necessary (ordinary wear and damages by the elements rot excepted), or which the company chooses to make. The company's claim that the workmen need not hire its tenements and can live elsewhere if they choose is not entirely tenable. The fear of losing work keeps them in Pullman as Ion? as there are tenements unoccupied, because the company is supposed as a matter of business to give ft preference to Its tenants when work is slack.

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 11. Advices from the armies commanded by Field Marshal Count Oyaha, now operating on the Liaotung peninsula, confirm the reports of Japan-se victories at Chinchiu (Kinchau) and Talienwan. On the morning of Tuesday last one brigade of the Japanese forces captured Chinchiu and on the next day Talienwan was bombarded and also captured. A British warship was at Talier-wan during the bombardment. After tl j place was captured this Warship Immediately started for Chefoo. which is across the gulf of IVchili, some eighty-five mil:s south' of Talienwan. A dispatch dited Talienwan. Nov. 7, from Admiral Ito, commander-in-chief of the Japanese navy, says that the squadron left Chiosansetsuta on Nov. , an-d on :he morning of the 7th was near Talienwan. Xo firing was heard from the forts and the squadron steamed into the bay, when tho Japanese flag was seen liyii:g from the fort ifi cat ior, the guns of which weie dismounted. An o'licer Ian led and found only some Jap guards, who informed him that the commander of the brigade had returned to Chinchiu. The details of the capture of the place wore obtained, and a steamer was dispitched Immediately to telegraph the news of the victory. HIROSHIMA, Japan. Nov. 11. Tie official dispatches of Field Marshal Oyama stated that the Chinese forces at Chinchiu numbered l.Ooo infantry an;l 10) cavalhy, and at Talienwan 3,000 infantry end ISO cavalry. The Chinese made little resi.vtaiue at cither place. They retreated trward Port Arthur. Th? Jap3 los't only ten men in cap;uring both places. Tne Chinese losses were also slight. LONDON. Nov. 11. A dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated Tuesday, and coming by Way of Shanghai, says that the emiere-'r and hLs court are preparing to leave Pekin for Sing Janfu (Tsin Kiang Pu), in tho province of Kiangsu, about 125 miles northwest of Shanghai. It is spaced that 70.000 Russian troops are concentrating at Vladivo3tock. TOKIO, Japan, Nov. 11. United States Minister Dun has communicated to the ministry the substance of an important cypher cable proposition received from Secretary Gresham at Washington. It suggests that if Japan will join in requesting the president of the Unite! States to act as mediator in settling the war he will exercise hij good offices in that capacity. A sinüir proposition htas been sent to China. The cable was received by Minister Dun on Friday and was presented at a special meeting of the ministry. An answer his not yet b en sont. Tne proposition presents a grave question to the ministry. They are urged on one hand by the popular sentiment to continue the war and crush China. On the other hand llumpean powers are threatening to Intoivene. As between these conflicting influences the ministry finds great difficulty in reaching a decision on the American proposition, but the lirospect is that it will be accepted. It is learned that four days ago France made a propositon to the United States to Intervene. WASHINGTON, I. C. Nov. 11. The cable from Tokio today explains the exact terms on which the United States Is proposing to act as peacemaker between China and Japan, and it dears up much mystery which has existed as to details. Secretary G wham's message having reached Minister Dun on Friday, must have been sent from Washington last Thursday, so th'at the reports printed here today that President Cleveland's proposition was carded last night is proved erroneous, and the original statements of the Associated Press that the proposition was made some days ago i.s verified. It establishes, also, ' that the United States hasi not offered itself as arbitrator, but has suggested that if both China and Japan Join in requesting her services as mediator they will be given. It in the belief here that China will readily accept the mediation of the United States and that Japan will do so afu-r she is assured of the indemnity China will yield. LONDON, Nov. 12. The correspondent of the Times at Chefoo, under date of yesterday, telegraphs as follow?: Taotai Kung, with several militnry i leaders, abandoned Port Arthur on Nov. 6. This indicates an intention to surrender. There was an ample defending force both ut Talienwan and Port Arthur, but no general direction of affairs. Chaos prevailed everywhere. I saw the PelYang squadron, six ships, yesterday in Taku roads embarking stores and munitions of war. The Russian admiral left here today for Nagasaki. The French and American admirals nre here. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Timc3 fays the British ship Firebrand has Arrived there to protect foreigners. The Petrel is expec:ed to arrive shortly. Admtral Freemantle, commanding the British China squadron, will assemble, here on the 13th a squadron comprising tho warships Centurion. Crescent, Undaunted, AediUJ. Leander, Severn, Spartan, Caroline and Mercury. A panic prevails at New Chang. Military deserters and refugees are fighting for passage on outgoing steamers. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Japan has not yet accepted the offer of the United States government 'to act as mediator in the war between Japan and China. Lengthy telegrams are passing, however, between the Japanese capital and Washington, with the prcpevt that a final decision will not long be deferred. China has already formally notified Secretary . Gresham that she will join Japan In acknowledging the independence of Corea, and will also pay a cash Indemnity. I The amount she will pay U not sp?cifl?d. It Is felt In official circles here that the

gravity of the aötion taken by the United States Is not yet fully realized by the public, as It contemplates a foreign policy, to which the Hawaiian incident Is said to be trifling in comparLson. Should Japan and China accept the United States as mediator It will close the greatest war 1

since the France-Prussi in conflict, and 1 this country will, for the first time, occupy a commanding position in deciding Asiatic questions, which have heretofore had the attention of Iluropean powers only. At present the European powers are endeavoring to reach an agre?m?nt among themselves by which they will forcibly intervene. Five days ago France presented a proposition to Secretary Gresham to Join In foreign intervention. This was rejected as the proposition of Great Britain had been. While the Europe it powers are thus arranging the details of their Intervention, the United States comes forward independently of other foreign powers and offers t act as mediator if China, and Japan request this sendee. In view of the avarice to secure new territory, which Is believed to inspire the European powers, it is felt by officials and diplomats here that Japan will accept the mediation of th? United Statei. although the hesitation of the Tokio authorities is taken to Indicate that they want China to fix the exact rigures of the cash indemnity, which cannot be, in the judgment of those best posted, less than $100,000.000. The French ambassador, M. Tatenotre, was an early caller on Secretary Gresham. His visit had reference to the settlement of the war. but so far as is known, his government has not yet clearly defined its position. It is assumed by some diplomatists here that France is really urging the United States to effect a specay restoration of peace single-handed since we will not jcin with the other powers in intervening, and the latter seem to be unable to effect theo purpose without our aid. But In other quarters there is a belief that the European powers don't at all relish the action taken by the United States in volunteering to mediate and thus brinrr the war to a termination without Allowing them to Join In the guarantee of Corca's independence and to achieve certain oth?r designs which they had cherished, such Q3 securing a considerabl addition to the number of treaty ports and perhaps some territorial extension under the guise of a protectorate. They fe.d that th?lr interests are so much more extensive than our own that they are entitled to a voice in the settlement and the apprehension that some of thesepowers may suddenly make a bold and decided move is likely to cau-e Japan to spet-elily accept our off?r of dominion, if sh really cares to end the war at this stage, and pi ice her Interests In th? hands of a nation which she knows to be disinterested. The Japanese lega:Ion today received the following Cablegram from Hiroshima, :he headquarters of the Japanese army and navy: "M irshal Oyama reports that the first division of his army took Kin Chow on Nov. t. and txk up its position in the vicinity of Talienwan on Nov. 7. There were ab .u: 1,000 infantry and 100 cavalry. There were besides at Talienwan 3.180 Chinese Infantry, but they all fled toward Port Arthur. Our lo?s was ten and the enemy's loss alsa small." LONDON. Nov. 12. A dispatch received here from Shinghai says that the Japanese captured P)rt Arthur yesterday morning af:er meeting with a feeble resis;ance 0:1 the part of the Chinese. Pu-rt Arthur was bombarded previously to the surrender. The Chinese lild down their arms and considered themselves prisoners of war. The Chlne-se commanders abandoned Pert Ar.hur on the night of Nov 6. It is reported thit some of the ipreseritatives of foreign powet-s will start for Pekin immediately, (, , METHODIST MAGNATES SPAR.

COL CLAY'S TROUBLES. Ite K:iw N'ot Yet Succeeded in Getting Married. LEXINGTON, K, Nov. 12. Gen. Casslus M. Clay was not married today. His relatives have succeeded In preventing any person authorized to perform the ceremony. They are doing all In their power to keep the oil gentleman from marrying, as they think he is in his dotage and not responsible for what he is doing. He first fell in love with an oiler si?ter of Dora Richardson. The Richardsons are mountain people and since Mrs. Richardson was killed in a railroad accident they have been living- at Clay's place, working as domestics. When he fell in love with the elder Richardson girl Mrs. Toomey, an Irish woman, and mother of George Toomey, who was shot by George Green on election day at Athens, Col., Clay thought she was trying to marry the Richardson girl to her son and he discharged Mrs. Toomey. Col. Clay tried to make up with her again, but she would not do it; she said she was not afraid of him or his pistols. She said if he would Rive her a pistol she would tight it out with him. In telling of the occurrence Col. Clay said: "And I believe she'd have done it. too." After Toomey had run away with the girl Clav wanted he fell in love with. her little sister. A message from Richmond late tonight says Clay had not been married up to a late hour and that It was generally believed that his family would finally persuade him not to marry the girl.

Since dawn today the streets of Moscow have been lined with thousands upon thousands of persons awaiting the arrival of the body of Czar Alexander. The city ha. almost disappeared under its mantle of white and black draperies and wears a, mournful and SDlemn aspect. The leading streets and thousands of houses are covered with crape. Even the lampposts are thus covered. Festoons of crape cover the sidewalks. Arches, obelisks and mxsU have been erected and covered with elaborate and somber designs. Everywhere can be seen portraits and busts of the late czar draped with crape. The train conveying the remains armed Saturday evening at Boutowo, a short distance outside of Moscow, where it remained all during the night. The imperial family and the royal guests spent the night at the Czaritzeno palace, which stands in the middle of an Immense park. The journey wjj resumed early this morning, trains bringing to the city portions of the suit arriving at 8 o'clock. The funeral train, with Czar Nicholas, the czarina, Princess Alix, numerous grand dukes and duches-ses, the prince and princess of Wale?, high officials and officers arrived at 10:30. The party were met on the platform of the railway station by the governor of Moscow, the high officials of the city, Grand Duke Midiael. Grand Duke Sergius and his wife. Grand Duchess Elizabeth, M. Durnova, minster of the interior, and a most brilliant, "assemblage of military officers. The clergy offered prayers as the coffin was reverently lifted from the train on which it had made the long journey from Sebastopoj. a procession was then formed, and when all was in readiness the prince of Oldenburg and several generals removed the pall from the coffin. Czar Nicholas and the grand dukes then bore the coffin to the hearse tnat was in waiting. In the meanwhile cannon were booming from the Kremlin fortress. At 11 o'clock the procession started for the cathedral of St. Michael, the archangel. The cortege was of immense length. In it imperial standards were borne by high functionaries, each of them followed by one of the dead czar's saddle horses. General ofllcers can-led the czar's armorial beariryrs, s-tate swords and Insignia and decorations. Thea followed a long I array of clergy bearing emblems and ima.??s, deputations, corporation anj trade societies. The funeral car -was drawn by eight horse and theie was a guard of honor, comprscd f eighty cadets. The cords of the pall, which had been replaced, were held by generals, then followed, on foot, the czar, the Princess of Wales, the grand dukes, tho imperial household, etc. Hehind them cams the czarina and other imperial and royal ladies in mourning coaches. The military escort was made up of five companies from different regiments, a battery of artillery and live squadrons of cavalry. The route from the railway station to the Kremlin was lined with troops. A feature of the procession was the thousands of wreaths carried by the deputations. There were so many of these wreaths that it was impcssibl3 to find room for them In the cathedral. The streets in the vicinity of the Kremlin were black with humanity, and the crowd extended as far as tho eye could reach. In the. cathedral of St. Michael there was an immense concourse of people. The cortege stopped at four churches on the way to the Kremlin, within the triangular walls of which the cathedral of St. Michael is? situated. These stops were made to allow of the offering of prayers fer the dead. It was 1 o'clock before the procession arrived at the cathedral. Here the pall was again removed and trie coffin was borne into the church with the same ceremony that had marked Us transfer at the station. It was placed upon an immense catafalque that had been erected In the nave. This catafalque was surmounted by a canopy embroidered in gold. The whole interior of the church was decorated with white nnd black draperies, embroidered in silver. The tombs of the cznrs whose remains are In the cathedral were covered with black velvet, on which the epitaphs on the tombs were reproduced. Four generals removed the lid and replaced the pall over the open coffin. The metropolitan of Moscow conducted the funeral service, which was marked with all the solemn pomp and circumstance of the orthodox church. Subsequently many of the imperial party, with their suites, proceeded to the Uspensky cathedral, the most venerated of the several sacred buildings of the Kremlin, and the Isehudoff cloisters, where the most displayed. Thence they went to the palace. In the meantime the czarina. Princess Alix and the grand duchesses visited the Hlagovyeschensky cathedral, also within the Kremlin, at one time the private chapel of the czars. The public on being admitted Into th cathedral of St. Michael to see the body lying in etate found the coffin guarded by military deputations, lite most touching scenes were witnessed i in the cathedral. The people prostrated themselves reverently before the coffin at the same time offering brief prayers for the repose of the soul of Alexander III. LONDON, Nov. 12. A Moscow dispatch to the Times says that Sunday morning's snow was changed toy night into a drizzling rain, but the night was made as busy as the day by the hurrying people driving and walking to the cathedral of the Archangel to see the last of the beloved czar.

VICTORY FOR THE NUNS Jl STICH I)F.A SAYS THEY MAY TEACH IX THE riIU.IC SCHOOLS Dressed in the ftnrb of Their Order Xot Seetnrlnn Te-nclilnjc for n "Woman to Appenr ns Teneher in a Dress Peculiar to Her Religions Views. PITTSBURG. Pa., Nov. 12. Justice Dean of the state supreme court today handed down an opinion in the case of John Ilysong et al. vs. the school district of Gallirzinborough, an appeal from Judge liaker of the court below, who refused an injunction to prevent nuns from teaching in the public schools dressed in the garb of their order. 'Justice Dean affirms Judge Baker's decision. In his opinion, which is very lengthy, he sa3: "There was no evidence of any religious instruction or religious exercises of any character whatever during school hour. But the court, further, found that after school hours the school room was used by teachers in imparting catholic rcliglou.? Instruction to children of catholic parents, with the consent of or by the request of the parents. This the court enjoined, because it was a use of the school property for sectarian purposes after school hours." A3 to the fact admitted, that of the eight teachers six of them were sisters of a religious order of the catholic church, and while teaching wore the habit of their order, the learned judge of the court below says: "We conclude as to this branch of the case that in the absence of proof that religious sectarian instruction was imparted by them during school hours, or religious sectarian exercises engaged in, we cannot restrain by injunction members of the order of sifters of St. Joseph from teaching in the public schools in the garb of their order, nor the school directors from employing or permitting them to act in that capacity." "In this case the school board committed no unlawful act In selecting these catholic women a3 teachers, because by moral character and certified attainments they wer qualified, and their religion did not disqualify. The dress Is but the announcement of the fact that the wearer holds a particular belief. The religious belief of teachers and all others is generally known to the neighborhood and to pupils, even if not made noticeable In the dr?s, for that belief is not secret, but is publicly professed. In the sixty years of existence of our present school system this is the first time this court has been asked to decide) as matter of law that it Is sectarian teaching for a devout woman to appear In a school room in a dress peculiar to a religious organization of a Christian church. We decline to do so; the law does not so say." Justice Williams filed a dissenting opinion. In it he says: "The question presented on this state of facts is whether a school that is filled with religion ecclesiastical persons as teachers who come in the charge of their daily duties wearing the religious garb and with rosaries and other devices peculiar to their church and order, are not necessarily dominated by sectarian Influences and obnoxious to the spirit of the constitutional provisions and the school laws. If in some other borough school episcopalian clergymen should appear in their robes, and if catholic priesis should appeal to the courts, I should no more doubt their right to relief than I doubt the rights of plaintiffs in this case."
