LONDON , Nov. 11. A dispatch from Tlen-Tsln , dated Tuesday and coming by way of Shanghai , says the emperor and his court are preparing to leave 1'eklng for Slngjanfu ( Tslng-Klang-I'u ) , In the province of Klang-Su , about 125 miles northwest of Shanghai. It Is stated 70,000 Russian troops are concentrating at Vladlvostock. LONDON , Nov. 11. A dispatch from Toklo eays that the Japanese have Infested Port Arthur and that the two outermost forts on the land side have been captured. A dispatch from Shanghai Bays It is reported there that the emperor Is suffering with fever and Is confined to his bed. LONDON , Nov. 12. The correspondent of the Times at Cheefoo , under date of yester day , telegraphs as follows : Taotlkung , with several military leaders , abandoned Port Arthurjtrl November C. This Indicates an Intention ( v.surrcndcr. There was an ample defending force both at Tallenwan and Port Arthur , but no general direction of affairs. Chaos prevailed everywhere.

Proposition of tlio United States to .Secure 1'cnco In tlio Orient. TOKIO , Nov. II. United States Minister Dunn has communicated to the ministry the substance of an important cipher cable proposition received from Secretary Gresham Ii * at Washington. It suggests that If Japan will join In requesting the president ot the United States to act as mediator In settling the war ho will exercise his good offices In that capacity. A similar proposition has been Edit to China , The cable was received by Minister Dunn on Friday , and was pre sented at a special meeting on Friday. An answer has not been sent. The proposition presents a grave question to the ministry. They arc urged on one hand to continue the war and crush China , On the other European - poan powers are threatening to Intervene. As between these conflicting Influences the ministry find great difficulty In reaching a decision on the American proposition , but the prospect la that It will be accepted. It la { earned that four days ago Prance made a proposition to the United States to Inter vene. WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. It Is the belief hero that China will readily accept the mediation of the United States and that Japan will do so after she Is assured of proper Indemnity from China. It Is not. likely Japan will accept the media tion unless $100,000.000 Is offered. This will about represent what Japan has actually epent on the war. This Is roughly figured as follows : Japan had a reserve fund of ? 25,000- 000 on hand when the war began. This has been spent. Then she negotiated a war loan of 50,000,000 yen ( a > en being about equal to our dollar ) . This makes $75,000,000 act ually used In the war. Besides this , Japanese citizens have contributed large sums , and the government has Incurred other obliga tions. The cable dispatch disclosure from Toklo that Franco made u proposition to the U/ilted States four days ago adds a new feature to the question here. It has been said that European powers were urging forci ble Intervention , and this has been largely instrumental In Inducing the United States to suggest mediation without force. It Is un derstood that the French proposition haa been rejected. The situation therefore presents an Interesting game of International diplomacy. On the one hand the powers of Europe are threatening to forcibly come between China and Japan , while , on the other hand , the United States offers to come between them as u peacemaker. As between the two proposi tions It U not doubted that the two powers will look to the United States. LONDON , Nov. 12. The correspondent of the Chronicle at Rome telegraphs that he liai been assured that Italy has told the powers they ought to allow the Japanese to occupy Peking before there Is any mediation between the combatants.

As a result rates hardened somewhat. Business at the Stock exchange continued moderate , but the tone was decidedly better. The political prospects were less menanclng and with the possibility of a settlement of the Japanese-Chinese war prices may bo ex pected to advance after the settlement. The liabilities of the Baring , guaranty have bsen reduced 500,000 by the sale of Uruguayan and other bonds. The result of the American elections , It is expected , will glvo greater stability to Ameri can finances. Home railway securities were heavy. The market for foreign securities waj without feature. Mining tecurltles con tinued to boom. Parts bought extensively of South African ventures. American railroad securities were firm , but thcio was nothing like the advance that oc curred after the democratic victory In the United States two years ago.

The program for the twenty-first annual convention of the national Woman's Christian Temperance union , to be held nt Cleveland , beginning Friday , Novem ber 16 , was given out tonight. This con vention will assume the nature of a his toric anniversary. The origin , growth and entire history ot the national Woman's Chris tian Temperance union will be reviewed , nnd many ot the most prominent workers of this and other countries will bo present , The convention will last six days , Including Sunday , November 18 , on which day the anniversary sermon will be preached by President J. AV. Bashford , D. D. , of Ohio Wcsleyan university. An Interesting feature of the convention will be a testimonial to General Neal Dow and an address by him. Among the noted workers and friends of the cause who are expected to bo present are Mrs. K. J. Thomp son , leader of the first crusade band ; Mother Stewart , the world-wide crusader ; Lady Henry Somerset , president of the British Christian Temperance union ; Susan B. An thony , Mrs. Jeannette , late president of the India Woman's Christian Temperance union ; Mine. Layah Bakarat , Syria ; Mme. Chlka SaKurla , Japan ; Misses F. J. Solomon , A. P. Ferguson nnd Anna McCummlngs , Capetown , South Aft lea ; General Neal Daw , J. W. Baer , secretary Christian Endeavor society ; John 0. Wooley , Colonel S. W. Bain , Anthony Comstock and Alice Stone Blackwell , editor Women's Journal. The following letter from Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell to Miss Frances Wlllard will bo read at the Women's Christian Temper ance union convention : My Deir Miss Wlllard : Yon nsk mete advise the women of the Women's Christian Temperance union how they can best help the working people , and 1 nm very Bind to give my views on the matter , for I be lieve they can make themselves as strong a power for good In this direction as they have In their own especial Held , but to ac complish this they must themselves deslie justice In the relations between the em ployers nnd employes nnd must create a public opinion which will demand It. In thin country , with lare exceptions , Justice Is seldom found In these relations. At some times anil places It Is the labor organisa tions which are dictatorial , while the em ployers crlnpe nnd relinquish nil their rights to maintain pence , but more fre quently the emplojers ore arbitrary nnd tyrannical , asserting loudly that they In tend to manage their own business as they choose and will not be interfered with by the vvotkliiKinen. Hero is the weak point there will never be Justice between employers nnd employes' ' , consqucntlv there will never be n. lasting peace until the employers recognize the , claim of the employes to n voice In th i settlement of questions relating to miklnjj ' the hours nnd conditions of labor. It can scarcely be expected that American citizens who have been born and bred with the In stincts of free men will submit tamely to a system which places their welfare entirely In the hands of others. This suggestion that the employes have a right to a voice In what In called their cmnolyers' business will be new to miny and will at first appear to be unreasonable , but the moro it Is con sidered the more lust It will show Itself to be , and It will finally be acknowledged to lie true. For the last twenty or thirty years In many large Industries In England all questions have been settled without strike or lockout by "Joint beard ? , " "boards of consolation" or "arbitration boards , " on which the associations of employers and employes have been represented by dele gates duly chosen and empowered tolegis late for their constituents , and on these boards the employers and employes have always had an equal representation. In our .country , also , and tn Belgium , boards are known , and have met with equal success , but the practice of justice with us has been j neither so Ionic nor so widely extended n& In KnglamU and stranpcly enough employers hete. instead of Instlctlvely recognizing this as the inly solution of the dlltlculties of the "labor question , " assume a tone of nr- bltrary ownership and proclaim their right to lsue orders which must he obeyed. I believe It Is by the study of thla phase of the labor question nnd the advocacy of consolation ns a means of preventing dis putes nnd of arbitration as n means of set tling1 them that the members of the Wo men's Christian Temperance union can best . - help the working n'ople.

NEW YORK , Nov. 11. The World will say | tomorrow : Charles Wilfrid Movvbrny , the English anarchist-socialist who came to thU country last summer and landed under an assumed name without the knowledge ot the commissioner of immigration , reci turned here secretly from England on Satur- day. With him Is his son nnd namesake. They came In the. steerage of the Cam- panla. They assumed the name of Gurry. They satisfactorily answered the questions of the Immigration Inspector and were per mitted to come to this city. The Scotland yard detectives were hot after Mowbray nnd his son when they left England. The younger Mowbray , it seems , enlisted In the army only to spread the doctrines of an archist-socialism. He was stationed nt Ply mouth , when the detectives In some way let him know ho was under their surveillance , and ho deserted nnd tailed with his father onthe Campania. The latter spoke to a gathering of anarch ists at the Thalia theater on the Bowery today the anniversary of the hanging of the Chicago anarchists. The anarchists turned out in full force today to welcome him. When he stepped on the stage of the theater Mowbray said : "Well , hero I am back again , back to stay In spite of Su perintendent Byrnes and the Immigration commissioner. " He congratulated the anarchists of America on behalf of the anarchists of England , and spoke warmly of the hangings in Chicago. After the meeting Mowbray said he did not anticipate much trouble from the police. He has arranged to speak at a number of meet ings in this and other principal eastern cities. EXERCISES AT CHICAGO. CHICAGO , Nov. 11. West Twelfth street Turner hall was crowded this afternoon with socialists who gathered to attend the com memoration exercises of the anniversary of the hanging of the anarchists. The meeting was held under the auspices of the socialistic labor party of Chicago. The stage was decorated with flags and red bunting nnd a life-size portrait of August Spies , heavily draped with red bunting , was suspended from the stage. The meeting was called to order by Barnard Berlyn. lie said : "We are not here to commemo rate the tragedy which occurred several jcars ago today , but to express our views and also to express our sympathy for the de parted. " Ho said the meeting was the first which had been held since the hanging of the anar chists which was composed entirely of so cialists , with not a mingling of anarchists. Je'se Cox was the next speaker. During the course of his remarks he said It was not the purpose of the socialists of Chicago nnd the world to gain their point by force , but It was their object to gain a strong foothold by hav ing a complete organization , and then to win out by ballots and not dynamite. T. J. Morgan was loudly applauded when he appeared to make his address. "I nm not an anarchist , " he commenced , "but I am a socialist , and still wo are here to pay tribute to those men that the respectable cltl- ? ons of Chicago murdered. I have waited ever since the hanging of our friends to at tend a meeting of socialists freed from anar chists , and at last It has materialized. " Mr. Morgan dwelt at great length upon organization of socialists. lie cold that without organization the socialist party could never gain its point. Julius Valteyp spoke In German. He said that the time would come when the hanging of the anarchists would be avenged. "They were not hanged , " h6 said , "because they dared to express their opinions , but because they were enemies to capitalists. " Mr. Valteyp did not bellevo that dynamite would win the cause which the socialists of the world were aiming for , but appealed to his hearers to put their Implicit confidence In the ballot box. Twelve hundied people were present at Wnldhelm cemetery today to celebrate the deaths of the six anarchists executed for par ticipating In the Ilaymarkct riot. Herr Most's prczence had the effect of keeping away the more conservative of the socialists Grief and Fielding were the only old-timers there. R. Stelner of the Pioneer Aid and Support association , under whoso auspices the celebration was held , presided. T. P. Qulnn of New York made a short speech , during which he said the occajion was being cele brated all over the world. When Herr Most was Introduced ho was received with cheers nnd cries of approval. Among other things Herr Most said : "Wo meet at the foot of this monument to hold high the banner In whose shadow thee who rest here fought , and to which they remained true unto death , and In unfurling the red flag at this grave we proclaim to all the world the gospel of poverty and misery which 'Our Five' understood soell , and for which they had to die. Wo did not meet here and outnum bered hosts of vvorklngmen of all countries are with us hero In spirit to declare wo will remain solitary with the murdered men that we feel bound to continue the work begun by them until It Is crowned with success , until victory U obtained. " Most continued nt length , reviewing the labor troubles leading up to the Haymarket massacre , denouncing capitalists , the police and existing Institutions generally. He con demned the trial ot the anarchists as a "farce never before equalled" and dwelt minutely on the Imprisonment , the last mo ments and execution of the men He praised Governor Altgeld for pardoning those who were cent to prlion and denounced Judge Gary for his part In the trial. In closing ho called upon his hearers to emulate those whose death they were commemorating. When he concluded the members sang and the crowd dispersed. Then the anarchist monument was decorated with green wreaths and floral designs. WRECKED ON THE WAY HOME. Hundreds of vyomen , men and children who were passengers on the special train of ten cars on the Chicago & Northern Pacific railroad enroute for Waldheim cemetery this afternoon lo attend the services experienced a very narrow escape from serious Injury and probable death by the derailing of the engine and ono coach. nThe only persons who received Injury were I Patrick Lahey , the engineer In charge of the engine , nnd Walter Charlton , the fireman , who wore slightly bruised about the arms and body. The engine left the track at Cravv- ford street , ran Into an open on itch and was followed by the lorcmost coach.

ALBANY , Nov. 11. Governor Flower Is willing to allows experts to make a test to ascertain whether a man killed In the elec trical chair can be resuscitated. Ever slnco the adoption of the electrical execution act by the state the WcsttiiRhmise people , whose dynamos are used , have declared electricity was not the cause of death , hut that death was assured by the holding of an autopsy directly after the body had been taken from the electrical chair. Noless an authority than Nicola ToIn , the famous electrician , contended that ho could bring back to life a man killed In an electrical chair , provided the attempt was made Immediately after exe cution. George Westlnghouse has always as serted that electrical death vva a sham and that a New York commltUq , headed by Abridge T Gerry , had dee the autopsy clause to the law to make It certain that the man was dead Within the last few weeks the agitation of thf > subject has become prominent and an ap peal la to be made to tha governor to allow the next man condemned to bo used as a sub ject t6 be experimented onThe governor sajs he will grant permission to do this.

There are reports from Bradford , the great Cngllsh wool ceriter ; from Sheffield , the cutlery depot ; from northern Mexico , whence htdei and live stock come ; from Marseilles , the great exporting city of French finery ; from Glasgow and Colombia , the latter par ticularly Interesting , as showing the failure or our retaliatory policy.

Wilson gives his views on the cause of the demo cratic defeat. Ho writes : "Hard times Is an enemy before which no political party In America has ever been able to mike a suc cessful stand when In power. This Is , and perhaps aluajs will be , a weak point In popular government. When labor Is out of employment , when farm products are low , when our financial system la disorganized , the wisest administration of government and the most wholesome laws do not avail to save a party from temporary and disastrous overthrow. "Moreover , the whole teaching of the p'o- tcctlvo tariff system trains men to depend not on Individual effort , the plain virtues ot Industry , thrill and temperance for business prosperity and material comfort , but on gov ernment aid and the laws of cong ess. Let mo add also that we , together with our pro gressive. nation , are now passing through an era of change , ot unrest , and of somewhat tumultuous agitation. The rapid adoption of the great Instruments of modern Industry and trade , the complete revolution which these arc bringing about In production and distribution , their steady obliteration of Im memorial handicrafts , their dislocation ot many Industries all this , together with the unsettled relations bttween labor and capi tal , have swept us Into an era. who o for some jcars It may bo Increasingly difficult for any one party to hold on to the federal government for any long time. "I do not believe the people have rebuked or dlicnrded tariff reform in their action last Tuesday. In every compalgn slnco 1SSG , ex cept that of ISft' , the democratic party has won a decided victory on that Issue. To con tend , therefore , that the people have now clinstlfol the democratic party for what they put It Into their power to do. Is to question their honesty nnd Intell gence. If they have Inflicted chastisement because of Its dealings with the tariff , It has been rather because the party did not carry out with ( sufficient promptness and theorouglfneis the woik they committed to It. The long and Indefensible delay In the senate ; the sinister suspicions that gathered around certain schedules nnd duties as they were framed , kindled a dis appointment nnd disgust among the rank and file of ( lie early that led to apathy and even misjudged hostility In the recent elections I have no doubt that had the bill which passed the house on the. . 1st day ot Kebrua-y passed the senate as early as April or May In substantially Its or glnal shape , the re sult In Missouri and in many other sections of the country would have been reversed nnd the democrats might even have weath ered the Industrial storm with credit If not success.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 11. Senator I'effcr as arrived from Kansas. Discussing the esult of the recent election , he said the opulists had no reason to feel discouraged. "What wo have lost In congressmen , " ho aid , "wo have more than made up in votes , ho reports generally published would lead eople to suppose that wo had suffered a mterial loss In all respects In Kansas. Such s not the case. In 1S90 wo had about 105- 00 votes in that state ; In 1892 about 113,000 , nd In thf. . late election from 120,000 to 125- 00 , In the face of the fact that about 20,000 f our voters had left the state on account f the drouth. Wo failed In the election of fllcers because wo wcr& not paired with the cmocrats , but wo have every reason to feel ncouraged for the future. In the country t large. 1 feel confident that when the re- urns are footed up they will show our total oto to be llttlo less than 2,000,000 , which la bout twice the populist vote of two years " go. Asked It he believed Governor Tlllman ould co-operatei with the populists If ho houlil be elected to the senate , Mr. Peffer epllcd ho could not tay , as Governor Till- nan had never outlined his Intentions In iat respect. Ho called attention to the fact hat Mr. Itby , who supposedly shares the olltlcal views of Mr. Tlllmnn , hud remained , 1 the democratic ranks. "Still , " he added , "tho time must Boon ome when all democrats believing as Tlll- lan and Irby do must oily themselves penly with the populist party. The eastern , emocrnls arc , to all Intents and purposes , cpubllcans and democrats of the Tillman- rby stripe cannot remain In the same party rganlzatlon with them. " The senator declined to discuss the ques- lon of the. piobiblc organization of the scu te after the 4th of March by the rcpub- Icans with the aid ot such populists llko Imsclf who had adulated with the repub- Ican party before they became populists , urtlur than to gay the time was. too far " ( slant to speculate upon , and In a general .ay . to remark that If the time should come .hen . the populists should hold the balance ot ewer In the senate ho had no doubt "they .ould exercise that power continuously and wisely. " SENATOR STEWART'S AMBITION. Senator Stewart of Nevada was less guarded han Senator Peffcr In speaking of the as- umptinn that certain of the populist senators \ould aid the republicans In the organization f the senate. He toys emphatically that o far as ho Is concerned he will enter into o coalition with either of the old parties to ecurp the organisation. "I don't care , " he said , "which of the ohl artlca controls the machinery of the senate , 'here Is no advantage to us to be gained ! by n combination with cither the republicans r the Cleveland democrats. We do riot cqro or the few paltry offices there are bestowed and could not afford to sacrifice our Inde pendent Interests aj a imrty for them. So ar as I am concerned , personally , I do not oarc whether they put mo on any cfammltteo or what they do with me as long as I am mtltlrd to my scat In the senate and can get nto the chamber. In fact I can raise , moro icll when entirely free fiom such obligations , han when bound by them. " The senator says he thinks the populists vlll be able to exercise a moro potent In- luenco by keeping entirely aloof from en- angling alliance. ! with cither of the old parties , and It Is his opinion that this Is tlio lollcy which will be pursued by the third tarty In the senate and ho will ndvlso : hat this policy bo pursued. He thinks there s no doubt that when the test conies Sena- : or Jones will bo found acting In full har- nony with the populist senators , and that If Governor Tlllman should be chosen to suc ceed Senator Butler he will also bo found n the populist column , as will also the two- senators to bo chosen from North Carolina. This would glvo the populists eight senators as against fort > -two republicans and thirty- eight democrats after the 4th of March. "The only ground , " he said In conclusion , 'on which I should bo willing to unlto with lie republicans would bo on a platform pledg- ng that party to a free sliver policy. I do not want any half way measure , such as the coinage of the American product , as I should ( now that whatever was promised would bo nothing but a trap I do not propose to bo- caught with anything less than a compliance with our complete demands.
