A strong current of protest Is still setting
In from alt parts ot Omaha and Nebraska
against the manifesto cent out by the Busi
ness Men's association. Not only are many
wholesale and retail merchants of Omaha
h refusing to nttach their signatures to the
manifesto , but firms and companies whose
signatures have already been printed are
repudiating the document. Other towns In
the slate are also moving In the matter , and
business men's associations , having for their
object the election of Judge Ilolcomli , nro
being formed. Uetall merchants of Ne
braska who buy their goods of Omaha houses
are also beginning to protest against the
manifesto
Among the firms and names that occupy a
prominent plaro In the Business Men's mani
festo Is the name of "Plerro Onrneau , Ameri
can Hlscult and Manufacturing company. "
The Inference Is that the American Biscuit
nnd Manufacturing company has endorsed the
appeal on behalf of Majors. The following
letter speaks for Itself

INSl'LTINO IIONiST ; LABOR.
The distribution' of thousands of copies o (
the It. & M. Journal In the city of Omaha
is having one effect but little calculated upon
by the republican campaign managers. The
coplt-s which fall Into the hands of the mem
bers of local labor organizations only add
to the feeling already existing toward the
republican candidate for governor The U.
& M Journal Is recognised as the enemy of
organized labor It refuses to employ union
printers In Us own departments and pays
lower wages , than any other newspaper or
printing offlce In Lincoln with but one excep
tion. Its attitude toward tabor Is
well known all over Nebraska.
Speaking of the matter n local member of
the Central Labor union cays :
' If the republican committee think they
can convert any Omaha , worklngman through
the Lincoln Journal they arc badly mis
taken , for It Is the most despised sheet In
the atate The Journal Is the piper that
advises Keltllng all labor dllllcultles with
Qatllng Ktina and nillltla It 111 never
listen to the side ol worklngman , and
the workers will consider what It says with
a grain ot allowance. That paper has al
ways been party to the contract for con
vict labor at the state penitentiary. Its
editor , Charles II , Gere , was the first man
that , ever signed a bond for W II U Stout
when the latter secured the first prison .
contract It has lived largely by subsidies |
and corporation funds. "
WHAT A TllADE JOURNAL SAYS.
The credit of Nebraska Is just now re
ceiving no little attention , and up to the
present tlmo the discussion Ins been all
upon one side. The returns from the In
terests opposed to the manifesto sent out by
the Business Men's association are coming
In rapidly. The Commercial rxhlblt , a
trade publication devoted to the Interests of
the wholesale business of Omahn. has In Its
last Issue , dated October 22. a loading ed
itorial devoted to the subject. The article
Is as follows :

NEW YOHK , Oct. 22. The republican
managers of the state campaign , while no-
lively nt work pushing the canvass In all
parts of the state , are unable to find any
distressing Indications In their ranks , and
In serene confidence me watching the at
tempts of their democratic adversaries to ad-
just and harmonize the factional differences
with which they are beset on all sides , anil
especially In this city. El-President Harri
son will arrive- hero later In the week to
attend to some private business , and whllo
lic Is In the city It is Chairman Hackctt s
Intention to arrange , If possible , a'main
moth meeting at which cx-presldent will
spak , and at which his former running
mate , Mr. .Morton , now tlie republican candi
date for governor , will be present.
Senator Hilt spoke al Yotikers tonight.
He will speak at Hrooklyn tomorrow after
noon and at New- York and this vicinity
'
until Friday , when he will return to the
Interior of the state A great deal will
depend upon the result of his visit and the
controversy he has with the state and local
leaders. In so far as the New York and
Ilrookljn candidates for congress and assem
bly are concerned , the- situation Is very criti
cal , with county demociacy candidates op
posing the Tammany congressional and as
sembly candidates In this city , and Shepard
candidates running ngalnst the regular nom
inees In the Hrooklyn districts , save- that
represented by Jlr. Coombs. There are
nine congressional districts In this city nnd
five In Hrooklyn. The opposition of the
county democracy candidates jeopardizes the
election of from ono to four Tammany cansi
illdates In this city , and the Shepardltes
endanger four In the districts In Iliookljn.
As the margin by which the democrat'c
managers liopo to carry the next house of
representatives la very narrow , the situa
tion la regarded as extremely grave at demo
cratic headquarters All efforts heretofore
mailu towards tiarmonl/tlng / differences to
prevent the posslblllt > of republicans slipping
in through democratic divisions have thus
far proved Ineffectual
Senator Faulkner , chairman of the demo
cratic congressional committee , will be hero
again tomorrow to witness the result of the
present eflort Hlchard Croker and Perry
I3o mont. President Cleveland's ex-nilnl&ter to
Spain , wcro at the democratic headquarters
regarding this ciuestlon. Senator Hill , Sir
Croker and other leaders were said to be
advising a policy of concession , but Lieuten
ant Governor Sheehan said this evening thnt
no basis of agreement had yet been reached
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan lute this
jifternooii gave out an Interview In reply to
the charges of colonlatlon ofvotes by the
republicans In which he makes counter
charges against them. "David Martin of
Pennsylvania , " he said , "Is a constant visi

COLONRL STHONO ACCEPTS.
Colonel Strong was this afternoon waltc
upon by the notification committee of th
New York state democracy and was olllclall >
tendered the nomination for mayor by tha
organisation. George Green , chairman o
that organization , was spokesman. In repre
bcntlng the lamination , he said. In part
"You are a republican , wo are democrats.
But you enter this fight not as a partisan
leader , but as the champion of all honest
citizens under whatever flag they march
oealnst the hordes of corruption , no matter
under what party they masquerade.
"To religious bigotry tinder whatever guise ,
vou nro aid always have been an avowed
nnd open foe For this we honor > ou. To
the widest rersonal liberty under the law ,
you are and always have been the faithful ,
fearless friend ; for this , too , we honor and
adinlra > ou "
Colonel Strong , In accepting the nomina
tion , said the citizens of New York for the
last six jears have been governed by a cor-
nipt ilng of consplralors that had brought
disgrace upon municipal government through
out the land. The exposition made by the
terrific probe of Mr Goft before the Lexow
committee has awakened the good people of
the cltj. regardless of party alllllatlons , to a
determined effort to eradli -corruption. .
"I want to tay that my convictions are
clear that all oath-bound political organiza
tions are to contrary to the- spirit of our In
stitutions tint I do not believe any political
party can continue to exist when In ono of
its cardinal principles it Is opposed to

LONDON , Oct. 22 , Today has produced
piacllcnlly nothing to the point in regard to
the situation of the cz-ir. In all the conti
nental capitals and In London there have
been | steams at callers , ofllclals , dignitaries ,
ccc1eslasttc.il and humble people at the Rus
sian embassy. To these , however , little. In
formation was vouchsafed , and thnt little
consisted of forebodings. Prayers and
map&cs are Incessantly offered from St.
Petersburg to Vladlvostoclr from Rome to
Bucnoa A ) res. The wlld riimors reported
> eMerday from St. Petersburg were repeated
today In still wilder forms. From Moscow
comes n re-port that there are people there
who Insist the carowltz has refused to ascend
the throne , and that tha czar , In order tu
compel him to do so has ordered his Imme
diate marriage to Princess AlU. The Mos-
covltes fear thnt should the rumors prove
true , they will have to face- the gravest peril
possible "While the people crowd the
churches to pray for the czar , the Icars the
rumor has bred Rive fervor to the petitions.
The Cologne Gazette prints a St Peters
burg telegram Elating the czur has given or
ders for a settlement of the suce'csyion to the
Inpcrlal courcll He has advls-d that Grand
Dul < o George , his second son , should on ac
count of his health , renounce his- claim In
favor of his brother , Grand Duke Michael ,
who ought to take the oath as heir pre
sumptive to the throne.
The Berliner Tngeblatt published n tele
gram , from Llvadla asserting the betrothal
of the czarcvvttch and. Princess Allx will
formally occur tomorrow and that the mnr-
rlago will be celebrated Wednesday. This
hastening of the ceremony Is said to bo due
to the rule of the Romanoff's requiring any
heir apparent to marry before ascending the
tin one , and to proclaim Ills successor. On
this account the proclamation of Grand Duke
Michael as the ultimate heir apparent ts
generally < expected. Another rule In connec
tion with the accession requires that when
the oath ot allegiance to a row czar Is ad
ministered ] to the troops and officials , an oath
of ' fldclltj to the heir apparent must bo taken
at the same time. I
BULLETINS UNSATISFACTORY. I
The Standard's St Petersburg correspon
dent ' says Today's bulletin Is of the eanie
unsatisfactory nature as the former cues.
Everybody Is surprised that no mention Is
made of the pul o or temperature , In short ,
there Is no clue as to what the disease-
from which the czar Is suffering. Medical
men are unable to form any conclusion as
to the premises. It Is rumored that an
operation Is contemplated. Another story
has It th.it the malady Is expected to reach .
a crisis- within the next day or two , but as' '
to what the operation or malnrdy are , c en
the best Informed are Ignorant.
The Oniolal Gazette nnnounccs that Prin
cess Allx arrived nt Llvadla this nltcrnoon ,
but , docs not publish a word about the mar-
age. "From what I can loarn. Ho mar-
jugli Is likely , but there will be a species

rcumstances , will effectually bind the cz i re-
Itch and the princess until there can ho a

A 'fllsjiatch to the Times from St. Peters-
iurg say * that besides the offering of pra > er '
or the recovery of the czar in all the
ihurches , the Hoi ) synod has ordered that
here Ije prajcrs for the same end offered In

.he czarina will lese her reabon it the anx-
ety Is protiacted for any considerable time
A dispatch from Warsaw says It Is be-
.ieved In that city that tha disease from
which the czar Is suffering originated from
the ralhoad accident near Borkl In October ,
1888 , when the Imperial train was wree-ked
while his majesty was returning from the
Crimea to St. Petersburg , killing twentj-
ono people and wounding thlrtslx others ,
among whom was the czarina The czar
suffered from severe contusions 'on ' both
sides of the body , which maj have caused
some internal Injury , at , ho has never
been quite well since. H was
reported at the tlmo of this accident that It
was due to defective rails , hut the popular
belief is that the wreck was caused by nlhll-
sts Tlio car In which the ez.ir nnd the
.mpeilal family were traveling at the time
was constructed of steel , and to this fact was
due the escape from death of Alexander and
Ins traveling companions.
The Dally News has this from Us Vienna

SAN rilANClSCO , Oct. 22 The Japancss
are making history not only through their
troops In the field , nnd their fleet upon the
sea , but through their authors and pub
lishers I'rom T. Sonc of the Takuta Sho-
Kal , which supplies arms and munitions of
war to the Mll.ado , who la now In San Fran
cisco , have been obtained three volumes of
war history , published In Japanese , by the
Ilakjiibun-Kan Publishing com piny of Toklo.
Mr , Sono Is on his way to London and Iler-
lln. lie la on private business , but arms
ami munitions- war are to be obtained , in
these capitals
following the story of the Coicnn rebellion
nnd the sending of Chinese and Japanese
troops Into the 'hermttdom , Is the following
account of the land b.iUle :
, "Yaslmn was not the first bloody meeting-
' of the nations. Spears nnd swords ware
draped with coolie core before that san
guinary struggle. The first real tight of the.
war was at Anjo Frry , on July 20. Captain
MatzsiM and Captain .
, . Tokloyama. were
killed. The Japanese decided to attack
the Chinese by night , but only the nfllcera
knew the orders. The soldiers were ordered -
dored to prepare for service and rest on their
arms. The night nf the 2Sth had begun anil
the clouds covered the skies and the dark
ness was like a wall.
"At mldnghl the Japanese force was or
' dered to advance to the attack. Absolute
sllcnco vvns enforced. At 12 80 the army
moved , the left wing leading When near
the Chinese u line of battle was formed and
the right wing bpgan the engagement. The
commander of the rlht wing was Captain
Matztakl. One point of his d vision left
Sose and within a half mile crossed a river
I.ncc deep , nnd after a like interval uadcwl
another stream , shouller deep and soft at
I he bottom , twenty-Ill e feet wide , over which
there had been a line bridge , which the
Chinese In retreating had half destrojed.
"Hejoinl the river the enemy had made
camp , but hod not felt secure and the watch
ful Bcnlrlcs gave the alarm , when the Japa
nese were ston s > oino distance away. A tall
fellow gave the alarm by shouting The
Jnpmeseoliliery would not be denied , but
rushed eagerly Into fighting dlstatico ami
piled Ihelr rifles with skillful and deadly
effect
"The old feud with China was remembered ,
and every soldier of Japan fought as though
lie was alone to answer for the rchiiko to the
encroachment of the ( . 'him so empire. The
Japanese were few , but they were brave , and
the vast horde oC Chinese and coolies met
before the onslaught. Hardly one of the
Chinese forces made : i fair resistance , nnil
the petty band of Japanese swept over thu
field , maiming and Killing In tha flush oC
victorious effort The Japanese knuw they
were ffdlng up to Ynshan. It was dark , the
road was unknown to the assaulting party ,
.ponds and marshes -wore around , into which
the soldiers sank , and somucro drowned ,
Captain Tokloyama and thirty of his men
meeting that fate like * btnv" men nnd Japa-
nepe Those who were not mired down or
drowned hurried forward , tarrying all before
them , until a troop of Chinese cavalry was
encountered Captain iMiitzsakl tried to
fore i a way through those troops Ho drew
his 1I sword and WHS In I ho lend when a bullet
pierced 1t I him In thethigh. . He did not lese
iieart , but using his mvord BB a probe lie ex
tracted the bullet nnd rushed on In the. fight
ing I Another ball pleiccd his head. lie
cried out and fell dead under the hoofs ot
i' the ' horse.
"Ills bolillcrs went to nvenge him , ami
spared neither men nor horses , but slaugh
tered all allki' , until twenty Chinese had been
stricken down , righting began at M a. m. ,
and continued for thirty minutes before tlio
cloud of Chinese disappeared before the gol-
dlery of the Mikado. When the. command
had bc.ii gathered , after the Bklrmlsh , It
started on toward Vashan , and marched In ,
p-.ice until Jul > 20 , when the advance of the
left wing , commanded by General Oshlma ,
went up against the right wing of the Chi
nese army , which was entrenched In the Fort
of Balkan The Japanese fired on the fort
and were answered briskly with small arms- .
Mullets came like floating stars , covering the
skies and making the noise'Sheii Shen. '
Both parties fought very hard. The Japanese
right wing coining from the Anjo ferry nt-
tackcd the first entrenchment of the left
wing of the. Cliltie&e. The crying arid whl -
zlng of the bullets , and the shouts of the
eager boldlers , Joined with the roar of mus
ketry were like the noise when the moun
tains and hills are rolled together and de
stroyed
"The Japanese left wing began to use Its
field piece and did not once fall to lilt the
fart of the Chinese , who crletl to much that
the assailants knew great execution was
being done. At the game tlm the Chinese
fire I a heavy rannon at the Japanese , but
did not know how to shoot and some s-tioti
were short , while others passed bpyotul.
Smoke again veiled the earth and the Japa
nese with fixed bayonets ran Into the fort
and began to plerco their enemies , who could
not fight such fltrce foes , nnd lied Balkan
was well fortified , but the Japanec reduced
the fort and turned the gun against the
second line of entrenchments. The Chinese
fought hard and held their ground but were
forced back toward Yashan. Toward this the
Japanese troops with General O.-hlma
proceeded and destroyed all the lines be
tween them The Japanese lost six officers
killed and wounded and thirty-two soldiers
killed and drowned. The Chinese loss was
about 500. When Balkan was destroyed
the Chlne o ran away from Yushan and left
all their equipments and munitions of war.
] : ight cannon , sixty flags , provisions anil
ammunition wore captured In Yashan.
"A triumphant arch was erected two in I lea
from the south gate of .Seoul and the Japa
nese army was received there In the presence
of a myriad of Coreans , who prepared n feast
of beef and wlno lor the soldier * .
"On August 13 u hundred Chinese soldiers
uhlla retreating slopped to loot the town of
Chin Sen , Corea Pnirt of a Japanese army
engineer corpfc. five In number , were work ng
on the construction of n telegraph line , and
when they taw the vandalism of the hundred
Chinese , the engineers drew their swords
and vie nt right among the Chinese and foucht
to bravely that they retreated. The Corcan
( UI7C-H8 were grateful to their Japanese pro-
lectors and gave the engineers the liberty of
the town. "
