VIENNA, Sept. 17.— Emperor Francis Joseph, who to-day -Sreturned from the army maneuvers, has Issued an Important army order, emphatically declaring he will never consent to the demands of the Hungarian party, which insists ( on the use of its own language by officers In giv ing commands to the Hungarian section of the forces. The Emperor's army order caused an Immense sensation in Austria and In Hungary. The pathetic assurance that he will never give up his rights and prerogatives as chief commander sounds like a war proclamation against the known Hunga rian national army demands. The impres sion caused by the imperial order Is al most indescribable. Hitherto the Em peror has been regarded as the most si lent monarch in Europe. ¦ Never before, even in the gravest con - SERIOUS RIOTING IN RUSSIAN TOWN SILENT MONARCH FINDS HIS VOICE LEAVENWORTH, Kans..

Williajns; Attor ney General, George Whitelock; State Comptroller. L. E. P. Dennis. The platform Indorses the administra tion of President Roosevelt and favors his nomination In 1904. ; Platform Indorses Administration of President Roosevelt and Favors His Nomination in 1004. MARYLAND REPUBLICANS NOMINATE STATE TICKET Wiley thought this declaration too sweeping. He believes that there are some genuine chateau and vineyard wines imported into the United States, > but he believes that they usually are special im portations, often made for Individuals, and that the general buyer seldom gets good wines. The label looks all right and the retailer mayjnake customers believe that— the wine is genuine, but in. most cases It Is not. Under the new food exclusion law the Secretary, of the Treasury is authorized, on certification from the Secretary of Ag riculture, to exclude from the United States food products or beverages that are adulterated so as to be injurious to health; that are falsely labeled, or the sale of which Is prohibited or restricted In the countries of their origin. The greatest difficulty in the enforcement of this law lies in its application to falsely labeled ¦ wines and liquors. -Chem'cal analysis is utterly powerless to detect the difference that exists between high-grade claret 'of the most celebrated vintage and the common vintage, yet a difference ex ists and is what makes bne wine many times more valuable in the market than others.' It is equally impossible to detect blended whisky by ordinary chemical analysis. Wiley. is of the opinion that most of the Scotch whiskies Imported Into the United States are blended. Wiley says that one of the leading wine experts of Europe, whom he consulted while in London, remarked that "there are no chateau or vineyard wines shtpped to the United States. The American peo ple drink nothing but 'labels.' " WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Prof«ssor Wiley, chief of the Bureau of^phemistry of the Department of Agriculture, who has been abroad on a two months' vaca tion, has returned and resumed charge of his experiments with "doctored" and "preserved" foods. It is the intention of Wiley to ascertain accurately the effect on men of good health using food treated with chemicals. Special Dispatch to The Call. Few Genuine Wines Are Shipped In From Abroad. There are many qualities which we need alike In orivate citizen and In public man, but three above all — three for. the lack of which no brilliancy and no'genias can atone— We new! the same type of character now that was needed by the men who with Wash ington first inaugurated the system of frte popular government, the system of combined liberty and order here on this continent: that was needed by the men > who under Lincoln perpetuated ».he government which had thus been Inaugurated in the days of Washington. The qualities essential to good citizenship and to good public service now are in all their essentials exactly the name as In the days when the first Congresses met to provide for the establishment of the Union; as in the days, reventy years later, when the Con gresses met which had to provide for its sal vation. -. «L?> There was no patent device for securing vic tory by force ot arms forty years ago; and there Is no patent device for securing victory for the forces of righteousness in civil life bow. In each case the all-Important factor was and is the character of the individual man. Good laws in the state, like a good or ganization in an army, are the expressions of national character. Leaders will be developed in military and in civil life alike: and weap on* and tactics change from generation to generation, m methods of achieving good gov ernment change in civic affairs; but the fundamental qualities which make for good citizenship do not change any more than the fundamental qualities which make good sol diers. In the long run In the Civil War the thing that counted for more than aught else was the fact that the average American had the fighting edge; had within him the spirit which spurred him on through toil and dan ger, fatigue and hardship, to the goal of the rolendld ultimate triumph. So in achieving good government the fundamental factor must be the cnaracter of the average citizen; that average citizen's Dower of hatred for what la mean and base and unlovely; his fearless scorn of cowardice and hits determination to war unyieldingly against the dark and sordid forceg of evil. DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP. It now rests with us in civil life to make good by our deeds the deeds which you who wore the blue did in the great years from '61 to 'OS. The patriotism, the courage, the un flinching resolution and steadfast endurance of the soldiers whose triumph was crowned at Appomattox must be supplemented on our part by civic courage, civic honesty, cool san ity, and eteadfast adherence to the immutable laws of righteousness. We take just pride in the great deeds of the men of 1776. but we must keep In mind that the revolutionary war would have been shorn of well nigh all its results had the skle or union and liberty been defeated in the Civil War. In such ca*e we should merely have added another to the lamentably long list of cases in which peoples have shown that after winning their liberty they* are wholly unable to mske.cood use of it. Every friend of liberty, every believer in self-government, every idealist who wished to see bis ideals take practical shaj>e, wherever he might be In the world, knew that the suc cess of all in which he most believed was bound up with the success of the Union armies In that great struggle. 1 confidently predict that when the final judgment of history is re corded it will be said that in no other war of which we have written record was It more vitally essential for the welfare of man kind that victory should rest where It finally rested. It was because you. the men who wear the button of the Grand Army, triumphed In those dark years that every American now holds his head high, proud in the knowledge that he be longs to a nation whose glorious past and great present will be succeeded by an even mightier future. GREAT ISSUES AT STAKE. who fought here forty-one years ago have the profound satisfaction of feeling that you play ed well your i>art in one of those crises big with the fate of all mankind. You men of the Grand Army by your victory not only rendered all Americans your debtors for ever more, but you rendered all humanity your debtors. If the Union had been dissolved, if the great edifice built with blood and sweat and tears by mighty Washington and his cmo pe«rs had con" down in wreck and ruin, the result would have been an incalculable calam ity, not only for our people — and most of all for those who. In such event would have seemingly triumphed — but for all mankind. PARTICIPANTS IN DEDICA TION OF MONUMENT ON ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD. AMERICANS PAY FOR THE LABELS The President passed the evening quiet ly on his train at this station. Promptly at 9 o'clock the train pulled out of Sharps burg. It is due to arrive at Jersey City to-morrow morning at 6 o'clock. ! The President and party will go aboard the naval yacht Sylph at 7 o'clock and ex pect to arrive at Oyster Bay about 10 o'clock. President with Governor Murphy, Sena tors Kean and Dryden and accompanied by General Carmen, who commanded the Thirteenth New Jersey Volunteers in the battle, visited the various points of In terest on the historic field. During the drive a singular fnct was developed by the discussion of the battle. It was that throughout the ceremonies of the day, actively participated in en tirely by citizens of New Jersey, with the exception of the President, the name of the commander of the division of troops in the engagement. General George B. McClellan, a citizen and afterward the Governor of the State of New Jersey, was not mentioned once. Governor Murphy himself recalled this curious though quite unintentional lapse and was concerned deeply about the matter, les{ the omis sion might be misconstrued. He w&rmly eulogized McClellan as one of the great commanders of the war and as a Gov ernor of which New Jersey had reason to be proud. Governor 3Jurphy_ and you. Veterans of New Jersey, and you. rrn^n of the Grand Army, and all othens here, l^pr^rt you: I th.-r.k you of TC.-w Jj-rs^y for the rr.onu mrnt to the troops of Kttm J<r«y who fought at Antietatn. and on tx-half of the nation I ac <*pt the frift.

In lt» ultimate tf'flrpots this r>nttl<* wa^ of mom^ntoui 1 nnd even decisive importance, for when It hod ended and I/ee had r< treated south of the I'o tomar. Lincoln forthwith published that im mortal paper, the preliminary d'-claratlon of emancipation: the paper which decided that the r-ivll war. besides heine a war for the preser vation of the I'nion. Fhould be a war for the emancipation of the slave; so that from that time onward the causes of union and of free dom, of national greatness and individual lib erty, were one end the Fame. If the Issue of Antictam had been other than ft ru. it is probable that at least two great European powers would have recognized the Independence of the Confederacy; so that you ACCEPTS GIFT FOR NATION. Governor Murphy was accompanied by Senators Kran and Drydon, by several prominent State officials and by his en tire military staff. The trip of the dent from Jersey City was devoid of spe cial incident. Many stops were made and Ff-cret service officers were on guard throughout the niuht. At 10 o'clock the President and Gover nor Murphy, accompanied by Senators Kean and Dryden. the entire party and hundreds of citizens, left Sharpsburg sta tion for the famous Dunkard church on the battlefield of Antielam. There the brigades of veterans in columns of fours escorted the President, Governor Murpny and distinguished guests to the monu ment. The monument is in the form of ¦ a Corinthian column of granite forty feet high surmounted by a heroic figure in bronze of an officer with upraised sword leading his men in charge. The figure is intended as a representation of Captain It ish of the Thirteenth New Jersey Vol unteors i who was the only New Jersey offWr killed at Antictam. After the assembly had been railed to order by James O. Smith of the New Jersey Monument Commission and an in vocation had been pronounced by Rev. Dr. Frazer of Newark. Mr. Smith re r-ortfd to Governor Murphy the final work of the commission. On behalf of the Ftnte of New Jersey. Governor Murphy accepted the monument in a brief ad dress. President Roosevelt as he arose to ac cept the monument on behalf of the Fed eral Government was accorded an ova tion. He spoke as follows: State of New Jersey to Its men vho fell in the srreat engagement was dedicated to-day. The occasion was ren dered particularly notable by' the pres ence at and participation in the ceremo nies of the President of the United States and of Governor Murphy, the chief ex ecutive of the State which was honoring her heroes. SHARPSBURG. Md., Sept. 17.-Un der lowering skies the magnificent monument erected on the historic battlefield of Antictam by the WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The Chinese Minister called at" the State Department to-day and laid before Acting Secretary Adee a dispatch which he had recived from the Chinese Consul General at San Francisco, detailing an attack made last night on a number" of Chinese at Tono uah. Nrv. The town in which the outrage has been perpetrated is situated in Nye Coun ty, Nevafifi, which in the end will proba bly be called upon to pay indemnity for the action taken by a few of the citizens who have carried labor movements and demonstrations in a high-handed man ner. It is not believed by Lieutenant Governor Allen that there will be any further demonstration out that way, as by this time the better classes of people have the situation well in hand. From the reports received it appears that the movement for the expulsion of the Chinese was in the hands of a few and ¦was not the Judgment of the best citi zens of the camp. The peace officers were powerless to resist the movement, but since the expulsion of the Chinese several of the ringleaders have been placed under arrest. HINGLEADEF.S IN JAIL. As Governor Sparks was absent from the State attending the National Irri gation Congress at Ogden, Lieutenant Governor Allen replied to the above tele gram as follows: CARSON CITT. Sept. 17. 1903. To the Acting Secretary or State. Washing ton, D. C. : Your telegram concerning the ex pulsion of the Chinese from Tonopah has been received. No official knowledge or complaints have been presented to this offico. The matter will be investigated according to law ? LEU ALLEN, Lieutenant and Acting Governor. His Excellency the Governor of Nevada, ,Car son City: The Chinese Minister informs rr.e of a telegram received from Tonopah, Nev., say ing that on the night of Tuesday, the 15th, the labor unions drove the Chinese people out °" the town. Seven or eight were badly Injured, one old man Is nearly dead and four are ml8s lng. You are requested to take step3"for prompt Investigation and due protection for the suffer ers. AL.VET A. ADEE. Acting Secretary of State. CARSON. Nev., Sept. 17.— Meager de tails of the outrage at Tonopah have been received. Four of the Chinese who were included in the expulsion are missing and as the country they have to travel over is desert it may be possible that they have perished. That the Chinese know something of their rights in a matter of this character can be judged from the fact that the Chinese Consul General at San Francisco has already placed the matter in the hands of the Washington authorities and matters are already mov ing for a thorough investigation of the affair. The following despatches have been received in this city: y .WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 17. 190.1. "Resolved, That the citizens of Tonopah view with horror and denounce in un measured terms the outrages and brutal acts which according to all the present evidence have been committed; that the citizens of Tonopah regard this act as not alone an atrocious violation of the law, but also a heinous crime against in offensive people, against humanity and civilization; that the people of Tonopah will support the officers of the law in all possible ways in their efforts to bring the criminals to justice." REQUEST FOR GOVERNOR! At a meeting of citizens, at which 1000 or .more were present, a committee was appointed to frame resolutions denun ciatory of the action of the mob. The committee reported as follows: , "Whereas, At a mass-meeting of the citizens of Tonopah, Nev., held pursuant to the call on Wednesday, September 16, 1803, a committee was authorized and ap pointed to adopt resolutions denouncing the action cf the mob which raided the Chinese quarter of Tonopah on the night of September 15, 1903, murdered an inof fensive Chinaman, beat, mutilated and terrorized a number of others and robbed and otherwise maltreated them; therefore we, the committee so appointed, hereby present the following resolutions as ex pressive of the sentiment of the people of Tonopah in denunciation of said mob and its atrocious work: TONOPAH, Nev., Sept. 17.— The people here are thoroughly aroused to the se riousness of a mob's action on the night of September 15. when an effort was made to drive the Chinese from town. One old Chinese was murdered, several were beat en and robbed and others may be dead on .the deiert. Information has reached here that trie Chinese Minister at Washington has asked for an investigation. One Thousand Citizens of the Mining Town Hold a Mass-Meeting and Denounce the Recent Lawlessness. Crime of a Mob Stirs the Oriental Officials to . Action. Acting Secretary of State Wires Nevada's . Governor. and those thrf/ are courage, honesty and common-sense. ' Benediction was pronounced by Rev. William H. MpCornjack of New Jersey, a veteran chaplain. When President Roosevelt was speaking rain began to fall in torrents. The stand had a. canvas cover, but the water went through It as If It were a sieve. When a bystander offered to hold over him an umbrella the President waved it aside, remarking: "I don't care for it. If (indicating the assemblage) they can stand It, I can."
