IN LABOR'S CAUSE,
The Fedetilon Convention at Dener En.
dor Several Meaures of Far
Reaching Importance.
FREE SILVER COINAGE ENDORSED.
May I, 1896, Is Set for the General Estab.
lishment of the Eight.Hour
Work Day.
Denver, Dec. la.-In the' Federation
of IAbor convention this forenoon a
spirited discussion was precipitated by
the report of the resolution committee
in favor of tha adoption of the resolu
tion Introduced by Edward L. Daly, of
Boston, asking congress to pass a law
making it an offense punishable by fine
and imprisonment for any employes to
employ, during a strike of lock-out of
his employes aliens who' have resided In
the United States less than one year,
or who have not expressed their Inten
tions of becoming American citixens.
A substitute was adopted that the reso
lution be referred to the incoming ex
ecutive council, with instructions to
secure legal advice regarding the con
stitutionality of the law, if passed.
The resolutions committee recom
mended the adoption of a rfsolutlon, In
dorsed by the Typographical union,
against land monopoly. The report was
ado ted.
A retoUuuOn .h UInE trne sretary or
war to have the fish traps removed from
the Columbia river, according to exist
ing law, was adopted. The committee
on resolutions recommended the adop
tion of Delegate Lloyd's resolution in
favor of the free coinage of slilver.
Treasurer Lennon objected to the pre
amble, because he said it assumed that
all the trouble of this country was due
to the demonetisation of silver, and
moved to strike out all except the bare
deolaration for the re-enactment of the
coinage law. Lennon's amendment was
armeed to, after which the resolution
was adopted.
The committee on the president's re
port submitted its report. It warmly
indorsed the action of the president in
the A. R. U. strike, and his recommen
dations. It was recommended that May
1, R18, be fixed for the general estab
Ilshment of the eight-hour day. The
proposed compulsory arbitration law
was vigorously opposed. Delegate Pen
na moved to strike out that part of the
report favoring semi-annual confer
enoes uth the ,nlghts of Labor, and
made a strona speech eondemnatory of
that order. Conalderation of that part
of the matter was deferred until after
the report of the committee on confer
aes. With this exception the teport
was adopted. President Gompers read
a dispatch from Chicago containing an
alleged Interview with E. V. Debs, In
whioh he denied having asked Gompers
to aid him In the strike. Gompers ex
plained that he had never stated such
a thing. Bald he, "When, during the
Chicago conference, I asked him "What
would you have the Federation of
Labor to do?' he said. 'If I were in
your place I would order the working
men of America to walk out.' "
A resolution against the issuance of
money by monopolies was introduced
by Delegate McGraith and referred.
The committee on resolutions recom
mended the adoption of resolutions fav
oring etate employment agencies and
indorsing the McGuire bill for the re
liet of seamen. Delegate Furmseth said
American seamen were subject to a
worse system of Involuntary slavery
than is known elsewhere on earth. The
matter was referred to a special oom
mittee consisting of John Nugent. W.
D. Mahone and Mrs. T. J. Morgan, with
instructions to formulate a plan to ac
complish the result desired.
At the afternoon session of the con
vention the grievance committee re
ported on the grievance of the theatrl
cal employes against the Theatrical
Protective association of New York.
recommending that the federation aid
in the organization of the branch of
the National alliance in opposition to
the Theatrical Protective association.
The report was adopted. The commit
tee also reported on a disagreement
between local brewers' union, No. 18, of
Chicago, and the national organization,
sustaining the national body and rec
ommending that the back dues of the
local union be paid in installments.
Thomas J. Morgan offered an amend
ment that the matter be referred to
the executive council. Mr. Croke moved
a substitute saying that the federation
has no Jurisdiction. The substitute was
lost and the amendment adopted.
Hon. I. N. Stevens, of Denver, deliv
ered a short address on "Recent judl
claI decisions and their effect upon the
development of labor organizations."
He confined his remarks mostly to the
action of federal courts In cases of rail
roads in the hands of receivers. He
said that out of thirty decisions he had
examined no two were at all alike, even
on questions very similar. The decision
of Justice Harlan. in reversing the de
cislon of Judge Jenkins in the North
ern Pacific railway cases, was the fair
est. He said 4h.' system of recelvershils

But His Services Are Demand. Though He's
Young.
New York, )Dec. 13.-A 17-year-old
boy left this city for Hall Franciseo
whose actual earnings this year were
more than the colmblineld salitrien If Hlen
ators Hill and Murphy, andl whetls. earn
Ingn next year will be grteater thaln the
salaries of half of President ('leveland's
cabinet.
He is a pleasant, smcioth-faced, well
Ib-hayved little boy, whose total height
Is only five feet two ºhches, of which
three feet and half an Inch are legs. His
arms are two feet five inches long.
while his weight I. only ninety-six
pounds. It Is this liberality In legs and
arms, with the accompanying absence.
of flesh, which enables the boy to make
more money than all thiese political gen
tlemen,
The long-legged boy's name is Henry
Griffin. and he is the greatest light
weight Jockey in America. Griffin goes
to the Bay District track to ride for
Torm Williams. He will be accomlpanied
by Jimmie Itowe, who will be associate
Judge.
Griffin will ride for (lideon & Daly
next season and this firm will pay him
$16,500 for his services. In addition to
this salary he will get from them $2.5
for every winning mount and $10 for
every losing mount. He will probably
be paid anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000
by some one of the big owners for sec
ond call on his services, and in addition
can ride for any outsider when his em
ployers have nothing In the race.
As Grlmn will average four mounts
a day, and as he reoeives handsome
presents from wmen who back their
horses, it will readily be seen that his
income next season will be more than
$30,000. This will be the largest salary
ever made by a jockey In this country,
far surpassing the earnigs of McLaugh
lin and "Snapper" Garrison when they
were In their prime.
PLAINS ON FIRE.
A Sol Srast of Fir Estanding Many
San Antonio, Teo., Dec. 13-A letter
from L H. Holman, a ranchman of Deane,
Te:., says the largest and most destructive
fire in years has swept over a large por
tion of the plains and is still burning to
the south. It began near the Pecos river,
Just this side of Fort Sumner, two weeks
ago, and burned to the southeast, taking
the large pastures of Ray Bros.. Dolliver
Bros., and othere, and a large amount of
noe raage. Then the wind tured and
blew a gale. driving a solid breast of fre,
fifty to seventy-fve miles long to the
east.
The best horse could not head the fire.
It crossed the ICsoarbade division of the
Capitol syndicate pasture, cleaning out
the greater portion of the range.
If it had not been for the efforts of a
few men along the fire guards and west
of La Plata, the whole country toward
Arlmolla would have been burned. As it
was, the fire was forced south and crossed
the guard in the southern part of Deaf
Smith and Castro counties. The line of
fire was forced east nearly through Deaf
Smith county, until it struck Randall
county, where it turned to the northwest
once more.
How far it burned east Is not known,
but It is supposed to have reached the
front of the plains. A strong "norther
came up, driving the fire line from the
banks of the Pecos on the west to a point
far east, supposed to be the eastern edge
of the plains td the south. The solid
breast of fire sweeping south was not less
than 1S miles long. How far in: this di
rection It went is not known, but last
night at at dark a huge bank of smoke was
still seen rolling up from the south. The
greater portion of the vast area Included
In the outlines of the fire was burned
clean.
HOUSE BURNED.
The Frame Dwelling on the City Sewer Farm
Destroyed.
About 11:30 o'clock last night the house
on the city sewer farm, northeast of Hel
ena, caught fire and burned to the ground.
The building was a story and one-half
frame structure, and probably cost aboutl
51,000. It Is not known how the fire origi
nated. Mr. Newberry, who has charge of
the farm for the city, was In town quite
late last evening, and when he returned he
found his home blaslng. Nothing in the
house was saved. Mr. Newberry recently
discharged two men in his employ, but
told them that they could stay with himnt
until they got another Job. These men
were at the house when Mr. Newberry lhft
yesterday evening. Tlhey could not lhe
found when he returned antd found hlbi
home In flames.
About mldnlight the fire department re

The Time of the Senate Ooupled With the
National University and Nicaragua
Canal.

Washington, Dec. 13.--Th.' senate ad
journedi to-day until next Monday.
1'ractleally all the time of the sestonlrl
was c(lonsumedli In discussoln of the hill
ti.e stablish ,a national university at
Walshlligtonl alnd the Nicaragua (:unal
bill. SLInators Hunton, of Virginia, awl'i
Vllau, of Wisconsin, addresoed thae rsen
ate In support of the former, and H.ena
tiir MorganI eoncluded his ,spleelh on the
lattl'r. Mr. Iluntoh moved to, take up
the bill for the establlhment Iof trn
I':nlversity of the U'nited rates at
Washington, and addressed the s'leat".
At the 'onclusion ,of his spiec'h, Mr.
Morgan asked unanimous consent that
the vote oin the Nicaragua lilil land
amendments bhe taken up next We.ldne
daly at 3 'cilock. Caffery oljeete-d. Mr.
Bllackburn moved that when the senate
adjourn to-day It be to meet o, Mnm
day next, and on this motion Mr. Mor
gan demanded the ayes and nays. The
vote, resulted, yeas 22, nays 23.
Mr. Vilas then addressed the. senate
i ad:!"'ocacy of thae university bill. Mr.
Mo4rgan to.,.k tne floor at the conclusion
of Mr. Vilas' remarks, beginningwrCvih
tUe reading of an opinkin by (Chief Jus
tice Daly. of New York, on the consti
tutional power of the United States to
aid In constructing the Nicaragua
canal. The opinion was favorable to
the view that the United States would
be acting entirely within its constitu
tlonal right in engaging in this enter
prise on the ground that the canal
would facilitate business between the
eastern and western states. Mr. Mor
gan, in continuing his argument, said
the constitutionality of this right has
been favorably passed upon by so many
of the presidents of the United States
that it seems presumptuous to discuss
the question. He presented to the sen
ate a long list of commercial bodies,
representing all parts of the United
States, which were favorable to the
construction of the canal. Mr. Morgan
also addressed himself to the necessity
of building the canal so relief may be
afforded to the people of the western
part of the country as a possible result
of the operations and actions of the
transcontinental railways. Grant this
and aid the millions Who are ground to
death by. the monopr~ of. transoonti
nental railroads, and who were sending
up petitions continuously in favor of
this bill.
Wolcott then renewed the motion
made by Mr. Blackburn that when the
senate adjourn to-day it be to meet on
Monday. The yeas and nays were de
manded and the motion carried. The
senate then went into executive seshrn
and fifteen minutes later adjourned un
til Monday.
The house this morning postponed un
til Jan. 15 the Williams-Settle election
case and immediately went into com
mittee of the whole for consideration
of the urgency deficiency bill and appro
priations. The pending amendment
was that of Mr. Henderson. of Iowa, to
reduce the appropriation of $250,000 for
special examiners to $125,000. It was
lost, 53 to 88. The committee then rose
and reported to the house with favor
able recommendation. The previous
question was ordered and Mr. Cockran
moved to recommit the bill with in
structions to strik.e out the appropria
tion for the collection of the Income tax.
Mr. Cockran's motion was defeated. 49
to 169. Messrs. Coffeen and Ellis voted
against the amendment.
The bill was then passed and the
house, in committee of the whole, took
up the fortifications appropriation bill.
Mr. Livingston, of Georgia, explained
that it carried $5.478,647 less than the
estimates and authorized no contracts
in excess of the sums appropriated.
The bill was passed without amend
ment and Mr. O'Neill, of Massachusetts.

bill. He explained that it carried $141,
31.,570. $200,000 less than estimates. This

At jEl, on Nov. J. there, was a severe.
earthqlluake In the early morning whlt.h
opened e.ntirely the vilcani. crater on
the west side, of Ambrym, about four
teen miles distant, and all the next day
the whle island trembled. lince then
it has opllened in six different places.
Even the. Island of Epl, which was much
less affected, had, to Nov. 7, felt sixty
three distinct shocks, and for weeks
had been covered by cloud, of ashes and
smoke. Traders and planters living on
Ambrym Island have fled to Port Sand
wich, the nearest port, In many cames
abandoning all their possessuons. On
Nov. 13 an earthquake shock rocked
Ambrym from east to west. causing the
land on which stood a small native vil
lage to slip with the humble homes of
the inhabitants into the sea. It is Im
IJnsible to accurately determine the ex
tent of fatalities, but the lowest esti
mate of lose of life is fifty.
Detalls were, not available when the
Warrimoo left the southern seas, al
though natives from all the volcanic
islands were flocking to centers of clv
Ilization for safety. The commander
In-chief. Admiral Bowden Smith, has
given to the press the following report.
mlade to hi,. by the commander of the
Dart: "While we were lying at Dip
Point, Ambrym island." he writes. "an
eruption on that island took place. It
presently became evident that a lava
stream, marked by a dense column of
smoke, was making its way through
the hills of the sea. The ship was
stopped three hundred yards off shore
where it was sen the msim wosd
emerge, and soon afterwards tonues at
flames were seen among the trees. and
presently the head of the stream ap
peared, a red hot mass, with lumps of
slag tossing about on the surface.
"When it reached the water, a most
magnificent slght ensued. A dense pil
lar of steam rose rapidly in a perpendlc
ular direction to a height of 4,500 feet.
A few seconds later violent submarine
explosions of steam took place, the
water rising In huge bubbles, 100 feet
high, and then bursting in all directions
in radiating tongues of water mixed
with black masses of lava. A consid
erable swell was set outwards and as
the area of explosions appeared to be
extending rapidly the ship was moved
to a safer distance.
"'anoes full of natives were leaving
the Island in all directiuns, some of
which were taken in tow at Dip Point.
where they were clear of Immediate'
danger. The ship then procneded around
to the mouth side of the Island, when It
was semelir that the old ('reater of Mount
Maryun. In the center of tifte iland, was
in t tvio lentl ruption. and that delnse
niasses .' stoke were ri ing over all
the western en'iid of the islind.
