(Special Cablegram to The Bee.l A new force has entered the field and for the moment almost driven the unionist party o(t It. That force has rot pronounced Itself upon any of tha Issues before the old parties. It has been concerned solely with thn primary work of asserting Itself and such issues, as It 1 really eager about, are either new living political questions or ure old questions pre sented In a new form. The Immediate busi ness of the political leaders is to attempt to understand that new force which will grow even stronger than It Is at present, and to settle the general relations of Unionism and liberalism with the labor party.

The labor party ruthlessly pushes the question of free trade aside, as of minor importance, and demands the "ownership of the land by the people." and the consequent eboll tion of the "landlord rlnss." Socialism Is not a iie-risny iiialiflratfnn for a labor representation committee can- dldate. but the Inspiring force of the labor represents tlon committee is socialism, and the propagandists of the party are such a; capable socialists as Mr. Philip Snowden and Ir.

No end of discussion has been stirred up In the local pre by the receipt of copied of the Leipzig Gremz boten, an Influential weekly review pub lished In Germany, the semi-official char acter of which wss established by th facthat It wan chosen aa the medium for bringing Emperor William's celebrated re ligious manifesto to the attention of the public. After pointing out that Arrlca 18 daily becoming more British, that Asia and North America may be said to be pre-empted, the Grenzboten asks Is Ger mans really Intend to shut themselves out of South America. th remaining ungrabbed continent. "Above all. German enterprise In South America must avoid a wasting distribution of power by concentrating Ita energies In tK ,hnin., f Brazil. Let 1 us permit the country as great a degree or . j self-government as possible. Let us per I mlt It to be ruled by officials raised and educated there, and let us organize a colonial army. In which every man can serve his time without returning to Ger many. Let us also give Brazil most-favored-nation tariff preference. Within a few years then we shall see the rise on the other side of the Atlantic of a vigorous German colonial empire, which shall per haps become the finest and most lasting enterprise old Euroiie ever cteated." The government, of Brazil, though en couraging Immigration from all quarters, has become really alarmed ut the growth of tho German idea in certain provinces and It is said that efforts will be taken at once to offset this great immigration with an even gr-ater Immigration from Portugal, Spain nd Italy. What has alarmed . the dominant race, the Portu gese, Is the fact thut out of a population of approximately 13.W0.IXX. including many Indians and negroes, fully Mu.tOO are Ger mans. Muny of these. It Is true, are de, scctidcd from Gei mans who settled in the countrv years ago: of the late comers many ! have embraced German citizenship, and If the half million of Teutons had been scat tered throughout the Brazilian republic the authorities might have cause for con gratulation rather than condemnation. But the trouble Is thnt in tho main they have settled In the three southern provinces and that German has superseded Portuguese, the official language of Brazil, in scores of communities. What bothers the Portuguese offlrluls even more Is the fact that the railroads, the baiiks. the commercial and manufacturing enterprises are all falling Into the hands of Germans. I'nder these circumstances It need sur prise no one If legislation essentially anti German should be adopted here within the next few years.

The natives of the towns of Chamoson and Grugnsy and several ham lets belonging to the canton of Valals are Hying In a state of terror, .expecting to ie overwhelmed at any moment by the mov ing mountain which towers above them. Already the springs ot . water and the forest trees have been submerged by the moving mass, which Is far greater than any glacier ever Imagined, and the little church of St. Pierre has half disappeared In the earth. Huge blocks of stones crash through the forest and through the villages continuously. From one to two miles of the mountain appears to be In motion, and to avert a terrible catastrophe like that, which happened a hundred years ago near the same place, the head of the cantonal department of public works and several engineers have gone 'to the aid of the terrified villagers.

Said one of the leading merchants of Japun, a man who has traveled around the world a dozen times, who is prububly bet ter informed iipon world matters than the majority of business men In Europe and America: "Of course, I know what your civilization of oky-.ci'upem and galling guns, your wonderful material resources really means, but I cannot explain this to my people. The average man In Japan today reasons it out this way: China has 4"0,iX'0,Oiiu of people and the l.'nltcd States IW, 000,000. We whipped China, and the United States is only one-llfth as populous.

These points hsve all come out In con nection with the discussion which has been going on as to whether the Japanese gov ernnient Is really behind the Chinese boy cott of American goods. It may be said right here that there Is no evidence to substantiate the widely circulated reports that the Japanese government is behind the Chinese boycott. Japs Aid Boycott. It Is perhaps true that the Japanese news paper men, Japanese priests, Japanese stu ents, as individuals, have taken a hand In fomenting an antl-forelgn and anti American feeling throughout the Orient. And It may be that persons In the employ of the Japanese government, acting as In dividuals, have been foremost In the boy cott agitation. But this Is not because the Japanese government has wanted this to be done. The Japanese government natu rally regards China as a great field for future Japanese commerce, but It believes ! nat proximity to th Chinese markets and the subsidization ot Japanese-Chinese steamship lines is all that Is necessary to enable Japan to compete with the other nations ot the world. Hence the real lead- 7 ... V Z I .J 7 to so uncivilized a method aa the Introduo- tlon of the boycott.

BAGPIPES ARE TO THE FORE "Seld Tutu" the Cry of new "orlety Formed lu Bonny Scot land. KDINBURGH. Feb. l.-tSpecial Cable gram to Tho Bee.) An amateur society has been organized for the diffusion of the cult of the bagpipe. Hitherto instructions In the art of playing the national Instrument of Scotland has been confined to the plpc- majors and other noncommissioned officers in the Highland regimental pine bands. The new toelety will endeavor to popularize the bagpipe, not only In ' Scotland, but throughout the entire world. In this work they appeal to music-loving Scots all ovr the world.

The article In question, although violent, certainly did not exceed what Is regarded as permissable In more constitu tional states.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. vtpeclal Telcgnun) It wus disclosed today that one ot the most gigantic trutis-continental railroad deals ever made is being formulated. It means the consolidation of the Northern Pucillc, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Great Northern and Burlington Into two great Uans-contlnental lines. It also means the shutting out of the llarrlman in terests on the north Pacillc coast. It ulso means a desperate light between the lour lines ineiuioned and the Harrimun lines. As outlined today by an authority of un questioned integrity, tho situation Is as follows: The undertaking involves two separate transactions. They have been In tho minds of the promoters for several years. The proposal means two of the greatest railroad systems lu the world. The Great Nortlicrti with Its 120,K).000 of iron ore and sale rights to its own and Burlington stock holders, amounting to J5o.C0P.000 more, will cement these two roads Into one vast double track system to the coast. The Northern Pacific system, whose stock is actually worth 800 on the basis of Its earn ings, may easily devote $l00,000,0u towards the purchase of the stock of the Chicago, Mllwuuk.e & St. Paul, now extending to the Pacillc coast, practically paralleling the Northern Pacific. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will tind it more convenient at points along the route to use the Northern Pacific tracks. Indeed a conference already has been held between officials to this end. Details of the Plnn. A railroad attorney, whose business brings blm In touch with the financial end of all these roads, declares that affairs are so shaping that one can reach no other conclusion, and he predicts within two years at least or possibly sooner the four roads mentioned will t hsve become two great transcontinental lines by the process worked out by James J. Hill. The nttnrnev rierlnres his belief In the . ,mmil.m of this scheme be- I cause of the fact that Hill Is getting! along. In years and wishes to see his ambl tlon realized as quickly aa possible. Rail road id men donot Jjimbt that auch arrange ivs"" Woiifd ' be 'beneficial to " all r the men roads concerned. It Is simply a matter of working out the detail. As the first move 'it Is understood that the Burlington bonds guaranteed by the Northern Pacific are to be called In and retired. In effect the Northern Pncltic and the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Phu! will be merged and the Grerft Northern and the Burlington will be made one system. It is understood fie Great Northern will absorb the Bur llngton. while for a few years the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and the Northern Pacific fvill work In conjunction, with the Northern Pacific finally absorbing the St. Paul road. These plans are outlined by parties so rinse to J. J. Hill as to make the storj' seem inspired. TEMPERANCE WOMEN EXCITED Ohio Societies Want No Punrh Rowl or Loving C'np Given , Bride.
