A CHICAGO lad makes a living by securing seats for women in crowded street cars. . He makes his stand at a thoroughfare that is always thronged, and arranges with some well to do woman with her arms full of bundles, or perhaps a baby, to run and jump on the' car before it reaches the corner. When it gets to that point he hasa seat reserved for her.

- A'FRENCH statistician says that the number of men and women in France is more nearly equal than in any other country in the world, there being only 1.007 women to 1,000 men. In Switzerland there are 1,064 men to 1,000 women, and in Greece orly 933. The conditions in Hong Kong. according to this authority, are ‘‘appalling,” there being only 466 women to 1.000 men.

PNEUMONIA in the popular mind is associated. with winter weather and cold winds and rains. The New York Recorder says: ‘“‘There is really mQr\é\ danger from pneumonia in the very hot spells of summer, because people sit in drafts to get or keep cool. Their pores are open from the profuse perspiration, and the draft goes right through them to the vital parts. Above all things, keep away from drafts.” & | |

~ NOTWITHSTANDING the hard times, steamers to Europe are carrying unusually large numbers of passengers.

| DEBS APPEAL. He Issuesan Address to the Public on the Pullman Strike. The American People Urged .to Aid the Strikers to Victory by Refusing to 3 Ride in the Company’s Cars : . —Mere Arrests. : TRGED TO BOYCOTT. : CuicAGo, July 23.—President Debs and his associates prepared an appeal to the American people asking them to boycott the Pullman cars by refusing to ride in them. An attempt will be made to get every labor union in the United States to declare a formal boycott. Fellowing is the text of the doeument: : : : . “HEADQUARTERS AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION, COOK COUNTY JAIL, CHICAGO. July 22. ~—To the American Public: It is almost universally coneeded that the Pullman company, through oft-repeated reductions of wages, ex= cessive rents and many other causes, has greviously wronged its employes, and, what-~ ever may be said abou! the great railway strike which resulted in consequence of such grievances, the arbitrary refusal of. sald Pullman company t 0 submit to arbitration in any form (even to decide the question if there was anything to arbitrate) is proof positive 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 company is deserving of the severest condemnation. . “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 justice. The Pullman company has robbed its employes and an investigation would have disclosed a state of affairs which would have horrified the nation. Thisis why arbitration was refused. ltis notoriously trué that the Pullman company pays its conductors and portérs such paltry wages that they are obliged to depend upon the public to support them. Yes, this rich and powertul corporatien virtually compels the public to pay the wages of its sieeping 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 iils. It may be suggested that this should have been thought of before the great strike was inaugurated. In that case little, if any, attention would have been paid to the appeal we ate about to make: *‘As one of the results of the strike the country is aroused and any proper appeal will command attention. The Pullman company, still deflant, and as cruel to its former employes as it is indifferent to the public 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 spectacle is well calculated to make men and angels shudder. - *Shall the Pullman company have the support of the public in carrying out this hellish policy? Shall the public be a party to the starvation and degradation 6f the more than 4,000 employes—men and women whose only crime lis that they -ask living' - wages? We believe—indeed, we know— what the answer will be. We have faith in the American people.. They uphold justice; they love fair play. And now, in the name of justice and fair play, we appeal to the great American publie, to every good man and every good woman, not to ride in a, Pullman car until the Pullman company does justice to its employes, Let the cars run absolutely empty. No friend of labor. no friend of humanity, will occupy a seat or berth in a Pullman car. Let this policy be inaugurated and we will then see how long the railroad companies will be bound by their contracts, as they have induced the public to believe, to haul Pullman cars. *We propose to continue this strike against the Pullman company through gogd and evil report and without regard to consequences until justice shall be done. There will be no sur-" render. ‘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 cruel tiranny, and, unless we are dead to evéry impulse of mercy and fellow-feeling, must be crowned with suceess. ;

“Fersons desiring to contribute money or supplies to Pullman employes will please forward same to David V. Gladman, treasurer, Puliman, IIL . “It is requested that all papers throughout the land favorable to labor, to justice, to humanity, copy this statement in full and keep it standing as long as possible. ‘“Earnestly appealing to the great public to aid usin this unequal contest between a rich, powerful, arrogant and detiant corporation and its famishing, half-clad employes, and relying with implicit faith upon the powerful triumph of the right, we subscribe ourselves very respectfully yours, : 'EUGENE V. DEBS, president. H#GEORGE W. HOWARD. vice president. “SYLVESTER K ELIHER; secretary. “L. W. ROGERS, editor Railway Times” Deputy United States marshals on Saturday arrested the following directors of the American Railway .union against whom are indictments for conspiracy to interfere with the mails and to violate the interstate commerce law: Messrs. Burns, Doyle, Goodwin, Hogan, Elliot and Mc¢Vean. All gave bail in the sum of $3,000 each. Director Burns was indicted twice, once under the statute making ita penal offense to deprive any citizen of his rights—to wit: S.. H.. Maxwell, a merchant doing business in Chicago, shipping goods which were caught in the strike blockade and icould not be moved. : ‘ Officers of the Pullman company have been served with notice that, unless they malke an effort to open the car works troops will b 8 withdrawn. The First reziment 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 $85,000. ‘ ‘ “There is little doubtthatrioting will follow any attempt to start the shops. This was, shown 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 Roseiand in the evening. : The mediation committee of the Sacramento (Cal.)

WAR ALMOST CERTAIN. China and .Japan About to Flgjlt for Su. 5 premacy in Corea. : Loxpox, July 28.—A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that war between China and Japan is considered certain. The London reporter of the 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 delightat the thought of war with China. At the Chinese legation it was stated that no news of a declaration of war had been received. 7t was added that if the rumor was true the first report of it would come from Japan and not from China. o ' ' The latest information received at the legation was to the effect that 10,000 Chinese troops had started for Corea. Japan had rejected the proposals made by the British minister, although the latter had counseled a peaceful settlement of the dispute. The Chinese government had thereupon declared that unless the Japanese troops were withdrawn from Seoul and Chemulpo, China would break off the negotiations. The officials, when further questioned, said they discredited the rumor that war had been declared. & ' . SHANGHAIL July 23.—China continues to make preparations to assert her alleged rights in Corea, and from the present indications it is judged that war is inevitable unless Japan recedes from the position she has hitherto maintained. Orders have been sent to. every Chinese province calling upon’ each of them to furnish 20,000 troops to aid in the support of the government. ' - NEw YoRK, July 23.—The causes of the present trouble over Corea are thus enumerated in an interview in London by Henry Norman, an Englishman who has spent some time in that country: L ; .

“First of all comes a permanent ill-feeling between Chinese and Japanese, who have a rooted dislike for one another. Second, their mutual jealousy as the two great far eastern powers. .Third, there are Japan's v/astly preponderant interests — population,” shipping, trade—in Corea, against: China's ancient suzerainty and her modern political control of Corean affairs. Fourth, the rebellion in Corea, threatening all foreigners, including Japanese, stands for something, but not 80 much as has been made'out, for Corean rebellions are not very serious affairs. Fifth, Japan is exasperated by the decoying of the pro-Japanese-Corean rebel, Kim-Ok-Kyun, from his refuge in Tokio and his brutal murder in Shanghai, winked at by the Chinese government. Sixth, ' Japan i afraid, not witheut reason, that China is about to settle her difficulties with Russia by allowing the latter to occupy a port on the enst coast of Corea. Finally both countries believe themselves to possess powerful forces of the European kind, and are not sorry to have an opportunity of showing what they can do with them. This is mu¢h truer of Japan than of ‘China. 2 : FRIENDS OF SILVER.

Called to Meet in Convention at Washing- : 'ton August 16. WAsHINGTON, July 28.—Gen. A. J. Warner, president’' of the American Bimetallic league, has issued the following address: “The country has now had a year's experéence under the gold-standard policy since the acts of 1893 closing the mints of India and the stoppage of the coinage of silver in the Tuted States. The results of this experience are manifest on every hand in the business depression of the country, in labor strikes and in general discontent’ that everywhere prevails. { = *Congress will soon complete its work, and the general situation and the prospects before the country will then be fully disclosed. Some state elections, involving the election of United States senators, have already been entered upon. and the-eampaign for the election of members of the house of the Fifty-fourth congress will soon begin. - “In view of these conditions the executive committee of the American Bimetallic league has thought it advisable tvo call a conference of those who Dbelieve that no permanent improvement iln the condition of the country can be hoped for as long as the present gold standard policy is pursued and who favor the immediate restoration of the bimetaliic standard in the United States, with the free coinage of both gold and silver at aratio of 16 to 1. to be held at Washington Thursday, August 16, 1894, to take into consideration the condition of the country and to decide upon the policy to be pursued to bring about the change in the monetary policy of the government necessary to restore prosperity to the people.” : : ;

I~ HAWAII A REPUBLIC. The Proclamation Read by Prestdent Dole onJulyd. .. SAN FraNcisco, July 28.—The Steamship Rio Janeiro which has just arrived from Orient brought the following news from Honolulr: e . - Ho~oruwrvu, July 18.—The provisiohal government is no more and the republic of Hawaii holds the reins of power.. But it isonly a change of name; the same people are in power, and the avowed purpose of the government is the same—to obtain annexation to the United States. The new comnstitution, which was finished on the Bd, 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 sur-

rounded by his cabinet,the military and the members of the late constitutional government, hé read the proclamation of the new republic, as follows: G “I, Sanford B. Dole, president of the provisional government of the Hawalian islands, by virtue of the charge given me by the executive and adviscry councils of, the provisional government and by dct dated July 4, 1894, proclaim the republic of Hawail as the sovereign authority over and throughout the Hawaliian islands 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 I now assume the office and authority of president thereof. Long live the republic.” : ' . After a great outburst of applause, Hon. J. W. Kalua 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 Ponoi. The president then took the oath of office and announced the names of his cabinet, the: same as. under the provisional government, Hatch, King; Damon and Smith. The officials then retired to the interior of the-building, where the oath was adiministered to the cabinet, judiciary and higher officials, and to some hundreds of citizens, each of whom received certificates of the fact. There was no military display whatever. 'The men on the Philadelphia were not landed, the government thinking it best not togive its enemies the chance to say, as they did before, that the change was made while United States troops were present to intimidate the royalists. Not the slightest demonstration was attempted by the supporters of the ex-queen. . On ;he evening of the Fourth t}he: annexationists held a big mass-meeting for the purpose of ratifying the new constitution. o P

A few evenings before the Fourth the royalists had a mass-meeting, at which 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 Lilinokalani to -be . restored- to the throne. Copies of this resolution were sent to the 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 goverrment of the change. - ' - _The Fourth was celebrated in true American style, the double. holiday making it pecu%iarly a day of jollification for Americans. Captain of the Marines Cochrane, of * the Philadelphia, delivered the oration. He showed himself an annexationist, opening his 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 Capt. 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. ¢-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. e ‘ ; ' A royalist commission, consisting of Samuel Parker, H. A. Wideman and John A. Cummings left for Washington on the Rio Janeiro July 18 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 matter. -
