HAMBURG , Sept. 5. Emperor William , In
proposing the toast to King Humbert at
the banquet at the knrhaus last night , said :
"Tho whole German fatherland greets In
your majesty an exalted prince , a close
friend of my father and a true ally , whoso
presence again shown us nnil the world
how unshakable and firm stands the Drcl-
biinil , which 'was founded In the Interests
of peace , and which , the longer It lasts , will
more ( Irmly and deeply strike Us roots Into
the mlniTs of the people aud bear fruit ac
cordingly. "
King Humbert replied In Kruicli. He
said. "I am glad of the opportunity to give
you frush testimony of 'the friendship be
tween our governments and states. Your
majesty has set your reign a noble task li >
devoting your constant efforts toward peace ,
the maintenance of which will ho the unzn-
IIIIOUH wish of our governments. I think I
shall always remain faithful to my coun
try's mission by giving loyal support to the
accomplishment of this work , the greatest
and most beneficent for all the nations , and
the progress of clvlllyatlim. "
Knifornr William then conferred the deco
ration of the Order of the lllack Raglo upon
Count Tanza dl Ho o , thu Italian ambassador
< o Germany.
Thu toast proposed by King Humbert Is
considered to bo so worded to make It un
derstood that while Italy will adhere to the
Dreibund , It docs not mean to impa'lr its le-
latlcna with other powers ; anil It was evi
dently his view to emphasize this fact. Dur
ing thu recoptlm. King Humbert held a
leog conversation with the military attache
of thu Krenrh embassy.
An open air service for the troops was
held today , which was attended by the
royalties present at the maneuvers and at
which Emperor William announced that
Queen Marguerltta had been appointed chief
of the Eloventh-battallcci of Chasseurs. The
queen then making a brief address , the
program ended by a march past aud playing
the Italian royal hymn.

PKSIIAWUU , Sept. 5. No fighting of im
portance has yet occurred between the gov
ernment forces nnd the tribesmen who have
taken part In the uprising. The enemy Is
concentrating at various points and It Is es
timated that' 17,000 of them are now on the
Samana range , but they appear loth to at
tack the government troops. It la reported
that the followers of Iladdan Mullah In the
Shabadakar district are deserting him and
the Afrldls are returning to Khjbcr pass.
The Drltlsh troops are massing along the
disturbed line and several columns have
been sent out lu different directions.
A alight skirmish lias occurred near
Kaugu , from which point a small column
was dispatched and scoured the districts of
Atagamir , Nawamlla and Namlr. They
found the enemy's posts deserting , there was
some firing , but the enemy refused to bo en
gaged at close quarters.
The Subaldar commanding the Mullagorl
Movies and forty of his company , which
formed a part of the garrison at Fort Lmndl-
Kotal , arrived at Janmind on Krlday ami
Wore given an enthusiastic reception , the
entire garrison turning out and cheering an
they entered the 'town.
The Mullagorls cut their way through the
enemy after the capture of Fort Lundl-Kotal
and marched to their own country , where
they burled their dead and roa&surod their
friend. They then proceeded to llamrund.
LONDON , Sept. G. The Times this mornIng -
Ing publishes a dispatch from Simla saying
that further evidence has been obta'ned of
the desire of the ameer of Afhanlstan to
prevent his subjects from Joining In the
frontier disturbances. The llrltlsh agent at
Cabul submitted , at the ameer's request , a
written statement showing the points upon
which ho laid especial strebH. The ameer
replied to this statement In his own hand
writing , emphasizing his previous statements
that his subjects do not dare to openly1 take
part In the fighting , but they have been
drawn away secretly by the Mullahs , whoso
conduct ho strongly condemned.
Not the least doubt is entertained , the dis
patch says , of the ameer's dpslre to fultlll

WASHINQTON. Sept. G. Assistant Secre
tary Day of tlio State department , who re
turned to Washington today , was asked
whether or not It was true as reported that
Consul General Kee , now on his way to the
'lilted States , would not return to Havana
vhen his vacation Is over.
Judge Day replied that the regular thirty
lays' annual leave had been granted to Gen
eral Lee and that so far as ho was aware
hero was no reason to suppose the general
vould not return to Havana when the thirty
lays had expired.
The understanding here Is that General
Leo's visit at this time Is merely on personal
msl'iess , although It Is probable his presence *
lore will be taken advantage of by the oin-
elals for consultation regarding affairs lu
Cuba. Ho Is expected to return to Havana
about the 1st of October.

yesterday. As a result , o set of resolutions
was passed , setting forth that
'Tho American bachelor politician shirks
his duty to the human family when ho fails
to provide a homo for some good woman be
fore ho engages In the profession of politics ,
therefore , he Is not to bo trusted after ho
has entered the political arena , where tempta
tions surround him on all sides and that un
fortunately modern society has heretofore
Klven the political bachelor too much lati
tude hy Ignoring his private life.
Resolved , That as far as practicable , a
list of bachelor politicians who are aspirants
for public office bo obtained In the states of f
Massachusetts and Now York and formal
protests bo sent out against their election or
re-election by the Woman's Rescue league ,
on the ground that they are ineligible to bold

SEATTLE , Wash. , Sept. G. The follow'ng
letter has been received from Skagway ,
Alaska , dated August 2S :
"Sylvester Scovcl of the New York World
landed yesterday morning at Skagway by a
specially chartered tug from Juncau , with
two tons of blasting powder and the ncccs-
sary tools to equip seven complete crews
for rock work on the Skagway trail , and au
fast as horses and men could get at It , It
was started to the front. In the evening
there was a meeting at the foot of the first !
hill , attended by over 500 miners , who or
ganized for the work In front of them and
elected an executive committee , consisting
of James Christie of Portland , president ;
Philip Adams , secretary ; C. A. Cramer of
Seattle ; and Mr. Hcacock and Mr. Day as
superintendents , who selected experienced
men for the work on the rock hills and
veteran loggers for the work of corduroying
the muddy places.
"Thcro were thirty Canadian mounted po-
lice also on the trail. They have pitched In
with a good will and say that the building
of this trail now will enable them to get
In the seventy tons of provisions In time to
build and provision the mall stations In
their territory so that they can operate dog
teams all winter , and they agree to deliver
the mall every two weeks from the Klon
dike to 'the American line. Work Is In
progress for fifteen miles along the trail
and all travel and packing has been sus
pended until It Is completed.
"There have been some kickers as usual ,
but they arc so much In the minority that
they have had to submit. While 1 believe
this trail will bo complete In ten days fee
that travel can bo resumed , don't start for
this point expecting to get over for nt least
thirty days , as It will take that long after
the trail Is completed to got all the miners
over who arc now there. There would never
have been so much trouble for small parties ,
but the swarm of people , 95 per cent of
whom were tenderfoot , nnd know nothing
about packing and mountaineering , has been
the cause of congestion at this point.
FALSE REPORTS SENT OUT.
"The first reports abolit this trail were in
spired by interested parties who are trying
to start a town hero and who are also In-
terested in the whisky business. Not nearly
so many discouraged prospectors are selling
their outfits for a song as has been reported ,
tmt a good many who started for the Klon
dike have given up that Idea , have turned
townsite buyers and are erecting all kinds
of buildings and establishing themselves for
the winter as best they can. One week ago
lumber could bo got for $27 per thousand.
Now It Is $50 and none for sale even at ,
that figure. Rubber boots , heavy shoes
and oil clothing are In demand and fetch big
prices. Hardware of all kinds sells well.
The Alaska Pacific Express company has
made arrangements to open an ofilco here
and has appointed H. E. Battln , fo-merly of
Portland , agent. The steamship Queen of
Seattle , steamships Alkl aud Danube of Vic
toria , have landed over 500 passengers , SOO
tons of freight and 300 horses and mules since
August 25 , and still there Is more to follow.
The Klondike excitement has turned the
whole attention of the whole world this way
and will i-esult In opening this territory as
nothing else would have done.
"Ou board the steamer Queen , on this trip ,
are two parties , one organized In Chicago ,
consisting of four gentlemen , comprising a
doctor , lawyer , commission merchant and
assayer , all under the guidance of L. L.
Bales , who has spent the past eight years
in Alaska as trapper , hunter and guide. They
will stay along the cCast In the Alexandrian
archipelago this winter , and In the spring
will thoroughly prospect the Copper river
country. The other party Is headed by E. H.
Fisher of Las Angeles , Cal. , aud will push
Into the Copper river country this winter.
'J. M. HAGERTY. "
Advices received by the steamer Rosa-
He , which -left Skagway Monday last
and arrived hero today , say that when the
trail was opened ( Monday morning , 2,000
men and horses were striving to get over.
Soon the path was In as bad a condition as
before It was repaired. Where the road had
been cordoroyed over the miry places the
logs slipped out and horses wont floundering
Into the mire , many of them never to
emerge.
These statements were made today by
Harry Fredericks , well known In this city ,
who spent some weeks at Skagway , return
ing today. He says that hundreds of men
at Skagway have given up all hope of get
ting through this winter and -will stay till
February at the foot of the pass. Hundreds
are coming back from the trails , stopping
at Skrigway for the winter. A few of the
more venturesome will try to go over when
the first freeze occurs and covers the bogs
with ice.
CHEATING UNCLE SAM.
A letter to the Seattle Times from John W.
Troy , at Skagway , tells how the "Yankees"
on the steamer Bristol cheated Uncle Sam
of the duty on their horses. When the
Bristol arrived , passengers who owned for
eign horses were startled by the announce
ment that a duty of $30 a bead would bo
levied. The manifest of the oHlcors of the
Kingston , on which steamer the horses hid
been shipped to Victoria , had been turned
over to the Bristol and was In the posses
sion of the purser. H was easy for the
American managers of the Bristol expedi
tion to fit out these horses of foreign birth
with Seattle shipping receipts and American
cleiranco papers. The passengers were more
than willing to pay the Bristol people $10
for each horse , when by so doing they
avoided the payment of $30 to their own
government ,
Frank I. Crampton of Mount Vcinon ,
Wash. , Is one of the passengers down
from Skagway on the Queen. Ho
went up to look over the situa
tion and took a trip over both passes. He
says that the killing of horses Is caused
largely by novices who do not knoxv how to
load them. In many Instances the packsaddles -
saddles are allowed to wear great holes in
the horse's backs. The men who are fixing
the trail will bo the first to profit by It. This
has been decided hy the vigilance commit
tee , and no man can go on the Hall with
packs without a certificate from the secretary
that ho has done so much work on the
trail ,
Ono man whom Mr. Crampton saw had got
ten nearly all of his outfit over when the
trail was closed for travel , The cnmtnlttoo
refused to let him take the remainder of h'a
pack over. His entreaties did no good , in
desperation ho went back and got a Winches
ter rltlo and two revolvers and held up the
committee and went through.
At Dyoa and the Chllcoot pans the condi
tions are much the same as on the Skagway
trail.

upon which the gold quartz promises big
returns. In nil the party will make applica
tion for 4,000 acres which was prospected
and staked out while they were there.
Many samples of quarts lu which free gold
as large as a pin head can be seen were
brought back with them. The specimens
were secured from different places on their
i claims which are scattered about When the
party arrived Tuesday night there were but
i six prospectors on the ground at Lake Wawa ,
, and they secured good locations. They are
j I Jubilant over their finds and say that the
I auriferous deposit is evidently an Immense
J I one. Veins of beautiful white quartz carryIng -
| Ing free gold exist almost everywhere lu thu
J } ' Lake Wawa region. The original find Is an
I extremely rich one beyond doubt.
I ' Prospectors say that where the veins are
I laid bare the gold particles can be seen
everywhere In the quartz. When the party
1 left Saturday at least 200 prospectors had
j arrived and they passed 'several parlies going
j In. The shores of Lake Wawa were dotted

was yellow fever , and various points on both

in a determined effort 'to ' settle the vexci
question as to the Identity of the pcrnlclou
fever which has operated so greatly to thn
disadvantage of Ocean Springs. These in
vestlgatlons were extensive , as the visiting
medical experts visited' large number o
persons now down with the fever. Examlna

PITTSllimO , Pa. , Sept. G. Expectations
are high In coal mlnkig circles over the
irobable resumption of work In the mines
throughout the country.
In anticipation of a settlement at Colum-
JUs next Wednesday , another plan has been
suggested by a representative of one of the
argest operators which will be aglutcd Im
mediately after the men return to work.
It will bo formulated and sulimlttod to the
lolnt convention of operators and miners ,
which It Is proposed to hold next December.
In order to come to an understanding on all
questions at Issue separate wage scales are
to be formulated for each mine. The scale
Is to provide for the rate to bo paid for the
entire year and any special concessions that
are to be made are to be agreed upon by
the minors and the nper.-.ors and so speci
fied lu the scale. The scale Is to bo an ad
junct to the uniformity agreement , which Is
axpected to bo In force. The proposition will
bo made by the operators lei the hope of
putting all the safeguards possible against
a prcbablo strike. It Is well known that
there are not two mines In the entire dls.
strict whore the conditions are exactly alike
The uniformity agreement covers the gen
eral points , but oven with It In existence ,
some operators would bo subjected to diffi
culties , while others have special advantages.
The scale Is to cover all these points , the
primary object being to avert dlllierenccs ,
create a more friendly feeling between the
employes ard employers.
Philip Stambaugh , a- cousin of President
McKlnley and n partner In the firm of Os-
berne , Saeger & Co. , was In Plttsburg this
afternoon. Ho said the men formerly em
ployed In the Eclipse mine , on the Wheeling
division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad ,
will bo asked to go to work tomorrow mornIng -
Ing at the GG-ccnt rate. Ho was not prepared
to say how many men would go to work.
David VanEman , manager of the Plttsburg
end Chicago Gas Coal company's mines at
Snowden and Gaatonvlllo , announced more
than a week ago that ho would resume work
In his mine tomorrow morning. Notices
were served on all the men living In com
pany houses to vacate and the ten-day llmll
expires In the morning. At the mines II
was stated yesterday that more men would
go to work.
Mr. Van Eman could not be seen but It Is
generally supposed that no effort will be
made to resume until after the Columbus
convention.

Knight of the Indiana district has returned
from Columbus , where was held the mcetiug
of the National Executive Board of Minors.
Mr. Knight has been away from Indiana so
much since the strike began that ho cannot
say with what favor the proposition of the
Pittsburg operators will be met by the In
diana miners. Ho believes It "contains the
basis of a settlement , but ho declares that
' 'no adjustment of the strike that neglects
the Interests of any district Involved In the
strike will bo agreed to. "

to work at the G4-ccnt rate on tbe promise
that half of their wages which are being held
back by the company would be paid on
September 25 and the other half on October
2G. Steps Were at once taken to offset this
move and the campers' missionaries report
that none of the men will go back to work
until the strike Is settled.

P1TTS1HJRG , Sept. n. The United Labor
League of Western PcmiRylvanla at a largely ,
attended nnd exciting meeting tonight gnvo
expression to nn open revolt against Samuel
tampers , president of the American Fedora-
ion of Labor , and many reflections and ugly
charges were made. It was on account of
sxpresslons made by ( tampers In reference
o the recent convention of labor leaders at
St. Louis. Ho Is credited with making un-
; lnd remarks about the gathering and castIng -
Ing reflections on these who were foremost
In the meeting. Gompers had a few do-
'ouders In the meeting and at one time there
were remarks about somebody being thrown
out of the window.
During the discussion on a proposition to
.ike some action on the St. Louis platform ,
M. P. Carrlck , president of the Brotherhood
if Painters and Decorators , referred to Gotn-
liera as a plug-hatted , greasy tool of capital ,
lie said , among other things , President Gom-
purs through Interviews and otherwise had
proven himself no true friend of labor.
'Gompers has snld that Debs and Sovereign
ire trying to disrupt trades unions , " said he.
"It Is said that he Is doing his utmost to
iccnnipllsh this. 1 want to nay that It was
not the trades unions that came to the as
sistance of the miners In their grcnt light ,
nut tlio great mass of organized labor and
citizens who have no Interest In organiza
tions. Business men , politicians , sowing
girls , shop workers and people from nil
jrafts came to the relief of 'the- miners nnd
: helr cause would have been utterly lost had
, t depended on trades unions and such men
as Gompers. It is time to call a holt on
labor fakirs who sit In their offices nnd
thank God that they are not like the poor
workingiiian of the country. Gompcrs Is a
disgrace to labor and 1 bellovo It Is high
time to call down the would-be aristocrats
of labor and kick them bodily out at the
Movement. "
When President Carrlck finished ho was
greeted with round utter round of applause.- .
The following resolution offered by John
Dykus , representative of the Typograph
ical union , was adopted :
"Resolved , That the United Labor League
of Western Pennsylvania disapproves of the
utterances of Mr. ( tampers for the reason
that they arc Inimical to the best Interests
of organized labor , and wo are liberal
enough to bellovo that the great battle for
emancipation of labor cannot bo won by
trades unions alone. "
H was decided to send a delegate to the
Chicago convention to bn held September 27.
and every delegate present was Instructed
to urge his local lodge to do the same.

CHICAGO , Sept. 5. The teachings and
principles of Eugcno V. Hbs are to bo op
posed by a national political organization
of the same class of men whom he claims to
represent.
Thn preliminary arrangements for the Illi
nois branch o' the American Hallway league ,
the new organization , were made today at
a meeting held In one of the lodge rooms
of the Masonic temple. The league has an
open membership list. Kvery employe of a
railroad , from a president down to a track
man , Is eligible , and these foremost In the
movement say that the organization Is to bo
a nonpartlsan affair , which will not only
heap benefits upon the working railroad man ,
but will also work for the benefit of the
railroad corporations , and more than nil , aa
it was put at the meeting , "correct the
rapidly growing Impression that the ordi
nary railroad man Is aga'cist ' the govern
ment and his employer on every question. "
Grand President R. S. Kaylor nt Ohio pre
sided at the meeting and there wore at
least 200 employes of railroads entering Chicago
cage In attendance , J. W. Callalun , who
was active In the railroad men's sound
money organizations last fall , was elected
president pro tern of the Illinois branch.
Thu business of the program had progressed
thus far wlicn the news of the death of
Senior Conductor Hlott of division No. 1 of
the Hrotherhood of Railway Conductors ,
caused an adjournment for two weeks ,
"There la nothing secret or mysterious
about this organization , " said Mr. Kaylor.
"It Is simply the outgrowth of the Incrcaslnii
Intelligence of omplojes of railroads. Wo
IIHVO learned that It Is more to our ad
vantage to co-operate with the men who are
paying us wages than tn oppose them at
every turn. Wo bellovo that we can help
them and help ourselves by on enlightened
use of the ballot box more than by strikes
and boycotts.
"Wo Intend to take part In primary elec
tions and every candidate who secures our
support must first pledge himself that ho
will oppose legislation which will tend Jo
reduce the wages of railway employes. Wo
will not attempt to work Into national poli
tics at once , although In time wo may bo
forced to do BO. I admit that , whllo our
organization Is made up on nnnparllsan
MUCH , ut present thcro Is a preponderance
of anil-silver men enrolled. Wo have fifty-
one leagues In Ohio and there are organiza
tions -Illinois , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania ,
Indiana , Missouri. Michigan and Iowa. In
six months wo hope to have organizations
lu at least twenty-six states. There are
900,000 railroad men In thu United States ,
and we believe that we ran bn a tremendous
power In politics If we organize thoroughly.
