always spent his tuonev at home and
paid the price asked for goods without haggling, while the customer of
the capitalist clar.s was prettj certain
to attempt the "Jewing'' process,
winding up with tho remark that

And laughs to think tomorrow's sun

And men may bold their work undone
Throughout the bonis oi rain.

And rumbh a o'or the mighty stones

For Aerial
Navagation
Prof.   Bell  Thinks  Pro
blem Will Never Be
Solved by Baloons
London, Oct. 30.— Prof. Alex.
Graham Bell leaves for America
today, where he will continue his
experiments in aerial navigation.
Prof. Bell said, "1 dont believe
that the great problem of aerial
navagition will ever be solved by
balloons. While you may successfully navigate a balloon in light
currents, it is obvious that any
floating body lighter than air is at
the mercy cf the winds. Such a
body cannot carry tbe motive machinery of great power. It
is little more than a toy. I have
been experimenting several years at
my laboratory although I never actually carried my theories into practice. Tbe theoretic results 1 reach
will be in time published in book
form. I believe tbe problem of
aerial navigation will be solved, hut
not by the use of balloons."

Plunder

Outrages    During    the

Pekin, Oct, 38.—Prince Su, who
accompanied the Chinese court iu
the flight to Tai Yuen Fu, and afterwards returned here disheartened
by the anarchy existing among
those composing the immediate advisers of the throne, gives
an interesting account of his
journey.
"On the first day," said Prince
Su, "the court traveled in carts 20
miles north, escorted by 3000 soldiers, who pillaged, murdered and
committed other outrages along the
entire route.
"The fight was continued at the
rate of 20 miles per dav to lisuau
Hua l'u in the most terror-stricken
manner. So little authority wa*.
exerted that the soldiers even stole
tne meats prepared for tbe emperor
and empress dowiger. The execution of several for murder anu pillage eventually brought them under control. The court remained
three days at Hsuan Hua Fu, and
then, owing to the tear ot foreign
pursuit, the flight was re.uimed to
Tai Vuen Fu, with 10,000 additional troops, who added to tbe discord. 'The empress dowager did
little else but weep and upbraid her
advisors. 'The emperor reviled
everybody. The journey occupied
2<> days, lhe longest route being
taken owing to fear of pursuit.
"On arriving at Tai Yuen Fu
difficulty was experienced on forming any semblance of government.
Many edicts were ignored and al-
fairs reached a slate of absolute
chaos. The emperor would have
preferred to trust himself to the
allies, hut he was compelled to join
in the flight."

New Vork, Oct. 2(>.— Operating
under the cloak of agents oi the Republican campaign committee,

is shown in the case ofC, M. Cook,
who is under arrest on the charge
ol passing bogus checks bearing
the name of M. L. Muhlman, treasurer of the republican campaign
committee.
Cook, it is alleged, induced William J. Wright to deposit checks
purporting te represent $1100 to
his account in the Mount Morris
bank. These bore Muhlman's name.
The committee not desiring to let
the amount of subscriptions be generally known, had arranged to cash
the checks in different banks.
Wright gave Cook $1100 in cash
and a few days ago tbe prisoner appeared again with $170x3 in checks,
The hank officials began an investigation and found the checks had
been forged.
Other similar transactions have
been reported from the interior
which lead to the supposition that
the total receipts by the forgeries
will not fall short of $100,000.    .

New Vork, Oct. 26.—The capture
of the defaulting note teller Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., has been officially left in the hands of Captain Mc-
Cluskey, chief of detectives, It is
said that a reward would probably
be offered today by the bank.
Developments this morning indicate that the whereabouts of Cornelius L. Alvord, the absconding
note teller of the First National
bank, are known both to his attorneys and to the bank officials. That
no warrant for, his arrest has been
asked for has been dae to the efforts
of his friends.
Negotiations are now on with the
bank officials in their behalf that
will lead, it is said, to the restoration within a lew days of almost
half the amount stolen. Alvord's
arrest would be an immediate bar
to restitution on his part, In the
meanwhile the man, who is said by
intimate friends to be in his hous
at Mount Vernon, and by others to
be somewhere in the vicinity, is un-
under close surveillance by detectives. His escape is said to be an
impossibility,
Alvord is said to have had an
enormous sum in ready cash when
he took his departure from the bank.
This, with his real* estate holdings,
several blocks of securities, his
wife's diamonds, his horses and livery and his interests in several New
York business concerns are under
considerations in the negotiations
between Alvord's friends and those
Irom whom he stole. One of lhe
absconders'friend's asserts that Alvord's holdings, when realized on,
will make him only $100,000 to the
bad on the amount   of  his   defaica-
cation-
Connael Huki-r Drill*** it.
Fisher A. Baker, counsel for the
bank, and one oi its directors, said
today that there was no truth in a
report that Alvord had gone to bis
home last night Or that the bank
officers knew where be was. Mr.
Baker was asked:
"Is it true that the bank is Irving
to make an arrangement with Alvord through Lawyer Miller for thc
return ot a portion of the stolen
money?"
"We would be foolish not to re-
covet all we can, but would not
think of compromising with a thief."
"Why has not the bank asked for
a warrant for Alvord's arrest?"
"I won't say lhat a warrant has
not been requested."

GEN MGARTHURS DISPATCH
Details of a  Terrible   Battle  With
the Phlllpplnos and Its
Results,
Washington, Oct. 26.—The war
department received a dispatch from
General MacArthiir giving an account of a fight in which a detachment of American troops attacked a
superior number of Filipinos. The
dispatch is as follows:
"Manila, Oct. 24. — Kirst Lieutenant Febiger with 40 men of the
Thirty-third regiment United States
infantry volunteers and Second
Lieutenant Grayson V. Heidt with
60 men of the Third cavalry attacked the insurgents 47 miles east
of Narvican Iloiles, province of Luzon. The insurgents held a strong
position occupied by about 400
riflemen and 1000 Bolomen under
the command of Juan Villamer, a
subordinate of Timos. Desperate
fighting ensued, which was most
creditable to the force engaged.
Acting Assistant Surgeon Bath and
a civilian teamster^ were captured
early in the fight but were released
by Villamer. According to the accounts, the insurgents were much
stronger than was reported here
and their loss, at a moderate estimate, was over iooo. Our loss
was: Killed — First Lieutenant
George L. Febiger, Charles A.
Lindenberg, Wm. F. Wilson, Thirty-third regiment, United State.-,
volunteer infantry; Andrew T. Johnson, farrier; Guy E. McClintocke,
Third regiment L'nited States cavalry. Missing—John J. Boyd,Samuel B. Harrison, Thirty-third regiment; Sam Davis, Fred Schwen,
Third cavalry. Twenty-nine horses
are missing, some of which are
known to be killed.

FRIDAY, NOV.EMRER ind, JH0O.
Kiiiriimu.  UUOPflNUS.
Socialism preaches the equality of
man; also, that man shall enjoy the
fruits of his labor in perfect freedom
and tranquility.
Shame upon tho white man who
would patronize an Oriental in preference to hard-working, honest and
respectable men and women of their
own race.
There is this difference between
the candidates.   Chris Foley appeals
<*to workingnien as a workingman;
his rival candidates as "friends" of
labor.   Do you see the point ?
Not content with stealing British
citizenship, the Japanese hordes are
applying at Vancouver for a place on
the voters' list. It is no wonder the
workingnien arc becoming alarmed.
By actual investigation, 120 Orientals are engaged in the merchant
tailoring for men and women in Van*
.couver as against 80 whites. Think
of tho liability to disease and the
menace to civilized workingnien.
Judged by their individual merits,
•Chris Foley is head and shoulders
above his two opponents. The Queen's
English suffers less at his hands, his
arguments are more incisive and
clearcut, nnd lie believes what ho
savs.
Western life inculcates and encourages independence, as much in the
thought as in the action. It is but
fit, then, that the Wes.. should be the
birthplace cf the Independent Labor
Party and witness its greatest glories.
Perhaps the chicfest of these glories,
will bo the election of Chris Foley.
Many profess alarm in the prospect
,of Chris Foley going to Ottawa, in
that he could command no pat-ro age
for the constituency. At the very
extreme he could do no worse than
llewctt Bostock or John Andrew
Mara. The alarmists also overlook
the fact that Chris Foley is gifted
.with brains and a tongue,
Public ownership of public franchises has never yet failed of practical achievement and success, turn
where you will or bluster as you may.
Why, even in this monopoly bound
Canada of ours, government ownership of tho Intercolonial railway i»
pronounced a success; and, if the
government could afford to build tho
C.P.R. and give it away to men who
have since made colossal fortunes out
of it, why could they not afford to
operate the road along with the Intercolonial ? The exorbitant freight
rates of a greedy corporation like
.the C. P. It. have done more to
retard the growth of the West than
any other factor, but the time is at,
hand when a government road will
give us the relief needed. Thc Intercolonial is reaching out for Pacific
connections, and n vote for Foley at
this juncture will help the thing
along,      	
We Canadians are wont to boast of
our country as a land of peace and
order, where the presence of the military is suffered simply for exhibition
purposes. Recent events, however,
have forcibly dispelled this pleasant
illusion and have brought tho public
face to face with an element of dan
ger in the growing power of corporations. The strike in Vallevlield,
Quebec, last week, of a couple of
hundred laborers, resulted in several
battalions of militia being sent to the
spot and a score or more of persons
being injured. As in the case of the
Steveston fiasco last Bummer, the military were really not required, Por a
little tact and judgment would have
settled the whole matter. Canada
loses greatly in reputation by these
.unseemly affairs and, incidentally,
the Laurier government will suffer at
the elections. Compulsory arbitration
cannot be too speedily placed upon
.tbe statute books.
