WELVTHER INDICATIONS.
ERWN SCORES PULLMAN.
In Defending the A. R. U. Men He Says
Pullman Is Responsible for All thi
rouble.
Chicago, Sept. 2S.—In an Intensely elo
quern and dramatic • speech, which held
speel-bound a large crowd In the United
States court room today, Attorney W. W.
Erwin jftj&e the closing argument for the
defense In the A. R. U.‘cases. Mr. Erwin
said. Jn part:
“On account of the feeling in this case.
I feel called upon to say something
siul and not ordinarily permitted
-/Uil^es. 1 want to s.iy in plain wonls !>••-
■ fore a plain people that whatever the out
come of the case, you have been fair.
“I say there was no redress from the
Pullman „ horror. What could they do?
Declare^* "W<ar? No. Hrealc the public
peace? No. Then what may they do?
'Anything that the God-given conscience
prompts them. That is the liberty of this
aigg.
“Isn’t It a deplorable state of affairs
that while the press rang out, while the
pulpits roared against the Iniquities at
Pullman, no power in the law of this
country stepped forward to stop them?
These people were starving, yet not a flag
was raised, not a drum beat, not an of
ficer of thl3 government stepped forward
to raise his hand in behalf of them.
•“This case is the beginning of. suits, our
friends on the other side tell us. To us
iif is the end of defensive suits. We ear
on our defense for the last time, omor-
row we shallbe gin on them. The coiu
.scienoa of this nation will demand that a
special counsel be appointed to prosecute
the general managers.
“These clients are charged with setting
fire to cars. We ghall find out tomorrow
who set these fires—these cheap fires to
turn the temper of tho public. lids fair
city will never pay $3,000,00 to the rail
roads until it finds out who set these
fires. I hope the nation will give the
general managers on opportunity to de
fend themselves. ^
“Pulman la, ff not In law, In equity, the
sole operator of the Santa Fe cars. Pall-
man was guilty of a cause to strike, and
so the strike came. If members of the
. R. U. had a right to strike against Full-
man. they had a right also to strike
against Pullman’s contractors—the mil-
roads.
STEAMER LINES FIGHTING.
They "Want Freights to China and Ja
pan to Begin a Rate War.
San Franclsoo. Sept. 28.—The war be
tween China, and Japan has resulted in
u. spirited competition between the Ca
nadian line of steamers and the Pacific
Mall Company. With the commence

packing companies throughout the
country began shipping canned goods
to Yokohama in large quantities, as
.canned goods are an Important item
In the cost of army supplies and al
ways And a ready market.
The Canadian line of steamers re
duced the rate on canned goods at the
outset and has recently been handling
heavy shipments from the packing
houses in Oakland and Chicago. To di

A -Small Crowd Sees Some Mighty Good
Contests on the New York Track.
Race Track, Jerome Park, Sept. 28.—
The attendance here was again very
small, despite the fact that the card
was better than that of any day of the

were Jarge and the quality averaged
well enough to guarantee good sport.
The weather was perfect for racing
purposes and the track in fine condi
tion. Favorites won three of the six
races, but two of them, "Rubicon and
Stonenell. were at such prohibitive odds
than the talent did not benefit *>y their
victory. The second race, a celling af
fair, a mile and one-sixteenth, furnished
the best contest of the day, Long

The Chinese Officials Have Been Der

London, Sept. 28.—A Shanghai letter
to tlie Times, dated August 12, says:
‘Trlvately 1 leant that tho Canton ar
senal authorities aro In a difficulty
which may affect the whole war. Cldua
was to pursue a Fabian policy and rely
upon her enormous wealth ultimately
to crush Japan. Both countrli-s were
surprised to find that the neutrality
taws prevented their buying war ships
In Europe.
“Orders were given to the various
Chinese arsenals to build ships and
make guns. The Foo-Choiv arsenal,
tlie largest and only one In China that
ever built ships on n serious call, may
be in a stato of readiness, "'(hough lt
will not he able to l>"'!.l large vessels
without a great deal of European help.
But the Whoaipoa tusouil at Canton
was found tr lie lu a lamentable stato
of unfitness, and heavy punishment la
sure to fn'l upon the olljeluls respon-
Bible for tils condition iff affairs. In
the meantime the Japancso-nrsennls are
said to be w»rklus on an unprecedented
scale.
"The question of what articles may
bo declared contraband Is seriously dis
turbing the eastern trade. Great Brio

lug at present with Japan’s coal trade."

All party feeling for the time will be
suspended mid the diet will readily
vote whatever credits are needed, llo-
Ipforcements are continually going for

to their destination.
London, Sept. 28.—'A special from
Yokohama says: The destination of
the second Japanese army of oUJKKl
men is kept secret. The Japanese
army In Corea Is rapidly advancing
north. No reslstnneo to its progress Is
expected on this side of the Chinese
frontier. There Is no truth In tho ru
mor of nn armistice.
A dispatch from Shanghai .dated Fri
day says: It Is believed that tlie em

WEAKNESS OF THE CHINESE.
They Are Bravo Men. iBut Have No Pa
triotism and Esprit de Carps.
London, Sept. 28.—Capt. Lang, o for
mer director In the Chinese navy and
oupervlaor of the ereotibn of many Chi
nese forts, said in nn Interview today
In regard to the Chinese reverses: "The
inherent, conservatism and apathy con-
cermng everything out3lde of China nnd
tho want of esprit de corps have hail
their natural rcuults. Aa a matter of
fact, the Chinese never expected to
have a fight, and their 'Supreme con
tempt of Japan Is a predominant trait
with them. Their seamen are as brave
no could be wished, but they have not
the slightest patriotism.
“Their officer, are regarding nf al
most everything but personal advan
tage and have always wanted to evade
drill and remain ashore. They have
hated Kuropnni and are Insufferably
obstinate. There are exceptions, how
ever. ns In tho case of Admiral Ting,
who Is conspicuously a brave anil capi-
b!e officer; whose laid could be safely
followed anywhere.

completion of orders for replsnlsliifiant
of stocks leaves a tiarrowor doiuaud
and it Is yet too eariy for consumiitlon
to provide further orders..
Tlie volume of business reported by
