A resolution was adopted autnorix- lng the executive committee to take steps toward the organization of a mutual nre ln- surance company, the same to have the sup port of the grocers and retailers of the state. The collection laws now on the statute books came up for prolonged consideration Heretofore all efforts 6f the retail dealers to secure modification of the exemption law have met with the opposition of organised labor. In order to circumvent this opposl- tlon the retailers' association adopted reso lutlons declaring for a shorter working day for the payment of wages weekly and for a strict enforcement of the child labor law, Sunday labor also was denounced. By thus aiding the cause of labor the retailers hope to secure from the labor leaders the let ter's support In a movement to modify the collection laws so that the retailers may have some recourse as against the profes tonal deadbeats. Resolutions were also adopted denouncing the proposed parcels post and post check schemes as being In Imlcal to the Interests of the retail dealers.

ITS FALL WILL MEAN AN UPRISING talnese Merrhaat Predicts Taat the Whole rrovlaee M ill Be oh Its Bad Behavior If the Fifty Thou sand Rebels Wis, LONDON. Sept. IT. Cabling from Phsng hsl under date ot September 17, the cor respondent of the Dally Mall ssys that Cheng-Tu--Fu, capital of the province of Sxe- Chuen, Is surrounded by 60,000 Boxers, but that their attempt to take the city have failed so far. Without Immediate help, how ever, Cheng-Tu-Fu must fall. "A prominent Chinese merchant tells me," continues the Dally Mall correspond ent, "that If Cheng-Tu-Fu Is taken a rising In the province Is Inevitable. To further complicate matters, the feuds between Cath olic and Protestant converts are worse now than at any previous stsge and magisterlan Injunction In various matters has been un warrantably lnterferred with by priests and missionaries." More Enrouraa-lna: Report. VICTORIA. B. C, Sept. 17. A letter re ceived from a thoroughly trustworthy Chi nese correspondent at Nannlng states that the rebellion Is entirely at an end. General Ma, one of the ablest Chinese officers In the south wss killed. Though the rebellion, so called. Is at an erfd, a disquieting feature of the situation Is that a large quantity of up-to-date rifles are still imported constantly. The Chinese complain that they are smuggled over the Tonkin frontier. The town of Tungb.ua Hsian, northwest of New Chwang,- Is re ported to have been occupied by the bri gand leader, Liu Tang Tsae, and followers. Making this their headquarters, they are said to be busily looting all the districts around. The Boxers are still active In Chengte and Increasingly so. The local foreign officer reports the district to be in great disorder, several plscea having been at tacked, others burned down and a number of Christians and others who have resisted having been killed. The British and For- lgn bible society has had one killed In that district and there are rumors, not yet confirmed, but believed to be reliable, that two others hsve suffered the same fate. ' A gentleman who recently visited New Chwang says the Russians are making all preparations for retirement from Manchuria at an early date, and expresses the belief that they will do so. At the same time he admits that, they are not likely to give up some of the places on which they have pent considerable sums, such as New Chwang and Tallen bay, nor to retire with' out some tort of equivalent for what they supposed they had acquired, nor even then o make an absolute relinquishment of their claims upon that country. CONGER TAKES UP MATTER Attention of Chinese Foreign OfBce Called to Continued ,Mnrder of Christians. PEKIN, Sept. 17. United State Minister Conger has presented to the Chinese For elgn office a letter from Dr. Canrlght, the American missionary ot Cheng Tu Fu, de scribing the massacre of native Christians there In July. Dr. Canrlght says that eleven people were killed by Chinese and that the author ities refused to take measures against the Boxers. The letter was written August t. The missionaries were then guarded by troops and were unable to leave the mis slon buildings except when escorted by soldiers. Dr. Canrlght' recent telegrams say the situation Is worse. The native papers declare the trouble la due to the collection of excessive Indemnities for Christians on account of the troubles of 1900 and owing to the Christians' arrogant attitude under foreign protection. MAG00N TALKS OF PHILIPPINES Law Officer of Inanlar Bnrean Makes Plain Statement of Con dltlons. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 17. (Special.) Hon. Charles O. Whedon last evening gave a complimentary dinner to a number of old friends and former associate of Charles E. Magoon, law officer ot the Insular bu reau of the War department. Mr. Magoon delivered an address on Insular affairs and sfld In part: The Deonle of the united States have ac quired sovereignty in tne Philippines; tnai sovereignty la supreme and Is established by treaty stipulations, by force of arms and "by universal assent of each and every member of tne family or nations, it ii only In our own country that our sov erelanty Is assailed and there the assault comes from thos who overlook the history of the acquisition or Louisiana. Florida California. New Mexico and Alaska, which acquisitions made It possible for us to dominate the western hemisphere and gave Aim the solidity which enables ns to sue cessrully encounter tne macntnations or foreign roes ana wunstana tne snoca or civil war. Among the benefits to be derived from scqjlrlng the Philippines Is the develop ment of national character. As a nation we have been selfish. We were content to point to ourselves as an example and to hold aloft the torch of liberty. But the world has grown smaller end the brother hood of man Is seen more clearly. n exercising soverelnnty In the Philip pines the first and paramount duty is to provide a government which will secure to the Inhabitants the largest degree of political freedom consistent with public peace. This Is a great work, but the peo ple of the United States are well fitted to perform It. There are many obstacles to overcome. It took 100 years and three wars to bring the government of the union to Its present excellence the revolution, to establish its political Independence; the war of 1812, to establish Its commercial in dependence, and the civil war, to etabllsh tne supreme sovereignly or tne federal government. The first obstacle, the Insurrection, has been overcome. Its underlying cause are little understood. It found Its Inception in the desire of Agulnaiilo and his followers to sack Manila and when this scheme was defeated a new Impetus wss given by rea son of an effort of the privileged classes to E reserve the conditions which existed under panlsh dominion, wlyre land holdings consisted of large estates worked by peona. I'nder Spanish system church and slate were combined and many of the political powers of the state were exercised by church officials. There were also office holders who held their offices by right of purchase from the crown. These offices were sold at public auction, were consid ered perpetual and to pase by descent from father to son. Fearing their Interests were In jeopardy, these 'several classes joined together and sought to make the Insurrection suffi ciently formidable to induce the United States to abandon the Inlands. . The Insurrection was scarcely organised when It became evident that the clerical element ot the alliance would have to be sacrificed. Thus arose what is now called the "friar question." The friars must not be confused with the parish priests. They were the head men, petty magistrates, tax gatherers and ortlce holders of every com ma nlty. Permitted to exercise the com bined authority of church and state, they abused their power and devoted It to their own advantage and enrichment and are hated for their acts aa Spanish officials. The Philippine archipelago extends from the fifth to the nineteenth parallels of north latitude, a distance about equal to that between Lincoln and Pittsburg. He taeen the fifth and tha ninth tha country Is occupied by the Moros; their religion and ineaa or government is mat or Mahomet. From the ninth to the thirteenth it is or cupiod by the VUayan race; these people are nominally Christians; their ideas ot government are derived from Spain. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth It Is occu pied by Mpaniards. Chine?" nnl Tag:ilos sml the mixed blofnls of these raoes. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth It Is occupied by the lgorrotes. who are prob shly riescendents of the ahnrtglnr of the Islands. They sre savsges and live In tribes, similar to the Amertrsn Indians. The population of the Philippines Inclinles three out of the five great sithdlvlFlon Into which the raees of the enrth sre di vided white, yellow snd brown and rep resent the thre great religions (,'hrleilan. Moslem and Confucian. Ies than 6 per cent of the popjlntion spesk Spanish. There are at least sixty-nine different dia lects spoken there. It will be seen from the above that it Is Impossible for the people of the lslnmls to anwemble and organise, much less maln tsln a national government. If an attempt were made and a convention called for that purpose not one-lhlrd of the dele gates could understand any one language, and the miracle of the "gift of tongues" would have to be repeated before the con vention could understand the proposals submitted for consideration. Who would arise to reronclle the divergent views, prejudices, fixed convictions and Inherent characteristics there assembled? Which civilisation should give way? That of the cross, or the crescent, or the dragon? Is it not manifest that at the end of useless effort, predestined to failure, the 1'nlted States or some other established, homogen ous nation would be obliged to formulate and establish a government for these iflands? In short, do then Just what the I'nlted States has done now. The policy of the administration was set forth In the Instructions of the president to tne Philippine commission, drawn by Secretary Root and signed bv President McKlnley. They constitute the magna charta of the Philippines ano will contest with the emancipation proclamation for the nonor or Deing the greatest of American state papers, fnder these Instructions the commission proceeded to build a govern ment irom the ground up. This work of developing the government, reviving Industry, promoting commerce, establishing schools and courts, has been accomplished by . the exercise of the mili tary powers of the United Stales. The army, organised, trained and equipped for the work of destruction,' was made nil In strument cf construction; the enginery of war was utilised as an agency of peace; that which was fashioned to overthrow snd expel one government was devoted to tne purpose or erecting another. The credit for these great achievements belongs to President McKlnley, President Roosevelt. Secretary Root and Oovernor Tsft. four statesmen who worthily rank with Lincoln. Grant. Stanton and Chase. More than this ned not be said; less than this could not be said. Ouliled by their wisdom, the sovereign people of the'fnlted States have fulfilled In the Philippines the obligations imposed by the triumphs of tneir arms ana tne conscience ot man- Kind.
