Blnghamton. N. T-. Sept. 3,-Wu Tint.
Taos, the .Minister to the United States
from China, was the chief speaker at the
Xabor Bay observances here .to-day. He !
tooic occasion to speak cf the Chinese ex
clusion law, pointing out that, in his opin
ion, it was a blow to the commerce of this
country with China.
Minister TTn said, in part:
"Thanks are due to the laboring men of
Blnghamion for this Invitation, which cams
as a surprise. It is a pleasure to address
man who have shown such liberal-minded-uess.
men who have strong opinions of their
own and yet are not afraid to listen to
arguments. To be open to conviction and
Information Is the mark of a noble mind.
"It may not be generally known that
China recognizes the dignity of labor. The
people are usually drrioed Into four classes.
namely, scholars, agriculturists, laborers
and merchants. It will be seen that labor
ers are placed above merchants. la China.
neither birth nor wealth counts so much as
hard work. The late Viceroy. Li Huns
Chang; furnished an example of the self
made man of China. He rose by his own
exertions from the peopl; to the highest
position in the Empire next to the Emperor.
China, and the United States are the only
countries in which a man does not lose
caste by going to work.
"Bom and bred as I have been. It Is
natural that I should be a friend of labor.
It Is right and proper for workmen to com
bine and organize fcr mutual benefit and
protection. Capital does the same thing.
"This means that labor and capital have
formed themselves into two opposing
camps. There is no valid reason for ihis
state of things The laborer of to-day may
be the capitalist of to-morrow.
"Capital and labor should be partners,
not er.ernlr". In the Industrial world, for
their Interests ere Identical. There Is. in
deed, a community of Interest between cap
ital and labor. Araltratloa Is the method
that is generally proposed for the settle
ment of differences between capital and
labor. It Is good as far as It goes. But
& better method Is to remove all causes of
difference. In a contest between capital
and labor Injury Is cae to both. China
has solved the question by the adoption of
a proat-Aaring scheme. This has worked
well.
"The industrial development cf the United
States has now reached a stage In which
production is so much greater than what
is required for heme consumption that an
outlet has to be found for the surplus pro
ducts. It win not be long before the "West

"Such a stand certainly does American

Mr. Cannon gave an outline of the history
of trades union from the labor guilds In
England in the Fourteenth Centurv to the
organizations of the present day. The re

also referred to.
"The public Is greatly mistaken." said
Mr. Pepoon. "in thinking that the labor agi

made a remarkable impression. They
marched with well-nil ed stomachs, with
well-soled shoes, with well-clothed bodies.
Their banners were their tongue and -x-pressed
their sentiments In nc meaa

"Mitchell and Vlctcry." many said, and
others "Mitchell we trust, and Morgan
can't bust us."
Other Inscriptions were. 'The Hebrews

HOW VICTORY IN
WILL
REPrnLlC STECIAL.
New York. Sept. L It Is naturally asked.
How can it be determined as to who is
successful In this slmulattd contest? No
ship can be sunk, no guns dismounted or
disabled and no men will be killed or
wounded.
This will be approximated to by the ap
plication cf a set of rules which. In the
present Instance, have been formulated by
Major F. Harrison. United States artillery,
and Lieutenant Commander Roy C. Smith.
United States Navy.
Both the defense and attack are rep
resented and It Is fair to assume that the
effort has been made to stcure a well
balanced verdict.
So-called umpires and observers of both
navy and army oflicers will have place ia
each ship and battery. They are to ob
serve closely the operations In their Im
mediate vicinity and make careful notes
of them as to the times of firing; number
of rounds of each caliber and so forth.
Should anything be done that does not
seem to them to be la accordance with the
rules, they may enter protest, but cannot
change the order of operations.
Commanding officers win also render fuU
reports of the operations withia their re
spectivo commands.
A board of arbitration has been consti
tuted to whom all the data of fje umpires.
observers and commanding ofllcers will be
submitted. The firing wiU be with blank
cartridges and from the longer guns these
win be from smaHer subcallber tubes, held
within the larger sua bore. Factors of ef
fect have been assigned to each gun at
various ranges.
Each battery, ship and gun Is assigned a
number, which represents Its "life." This
Is about 2) per cent greater for the night
than fcr the day. as the chances v. their
being- hit Is assumed as less at night than
la the day time.
For example, the sum. of the factors
representing the Cre of the various guns
under which a vessel may have bees placed
Is computed. If this sura equals or excels
the life number of the ship, the ship Is
conisdered destroyed and out of action.
Although they may est kssv tins oa beard
trine. It Is a doctrine, of -pace. a doctrine
of defense, a doctrine to secure the chanco
oa this Coatlncnt for the United States here
to develop peaceably along their own lines.
"Xow. we have formulated that doctrine.
If our formulation consists simply of state
ments nn the stump or on paper, they aro
not worth the breath that utters them or
the paper on which they are written.
"Remembr that the Monroe Doctrine
wUl be respected as long as we have a
flrst-clas. effldent navy, and not very
much longer.
"In private life ho who asserts some
thing says what he is going to do and dos
not back it up It always a contemptible
creature, and as a nation the last thing
we can afford to do is to take a position
which wo do not intend to try to make
EOOd.
"BRAGGIXG SIGX OF WEAKXESS."
"Bragging and" boasting- in private life
are almost always the sign. of a weak man.
and a nation that Is strong does not need
to have Its public men boast or brag oa Its
account.
"Last of all does a self-respecting na
tion wish lis public representatives to

Several hundred marines are now holding

It was scarcely midnight when the patrol

The firing was continued until SJOs. when
a collier and dispatch boat entered tho har
bor and landed a force, of men. Before tho
attack of this detachment, having been
reduced by the previous bombardment, tho
men at the station made their escape.
The landing force of RO was divided and
squads were stationed ca each side of the
breakwater and at other points along the
shore, while an ample force was sent to
occupy the Beacon Hill Signal Station. As
the fleet lay off shore seventeen vessels
could be counted. Including colliers.
WAR GAME
BE DETERMINED.
the ship the Board cf Arbitrators win throw
out of consideration the fire of this vessel
from the time when its "life" had beea
computed as terminated.
It follows that very accurate timing cf
the various gun firings Is requisite oa the
part of umpires and observers. For this
special provision is made by securing cor
rected time from the observatory at Wash
ington. The ultimate decision of the board of ar
bitration cannct be arrived at and known
until some time after the close of the
"war," as there will be a large mass of
data to be considered.
Howeve Inconclusive and indefinite the
results win naturally be. many valuable
lessons will unqucatlcnably be derived. It
is much better to learn of the shortcomings
In this mimic warfare than to have thera
discovered la the midst cf the grim reali
ties cf war, when It win be too late to
tive them remedied.
Experiences such as these are likely to
be the cause cf developing lines of thought
which ordinarily would not have presented
themselves. The country may be sura
that all of the oSeers concerned win give
serious thought and attention to the work
they have la hand and will be spurred to
evolve such conclusions as the experiences
will undoubtedly prompt.

Rear Admiral Hlggtnson s action la receiv
ing the Duchess of Marlborough. Colonel
Sanger as the Secretary of War and a party
of friends aboard the hostUed fleet as It
hovered off tha Narragansett coast, pre

not room and the press representation
would be restricted to a limited number of '
