AWAIT ACTION OF CONGRESS
Vitally Xt'oes*ar>- to American In
tt*n*!t(N. 'I'lint an Army Reorgan
ization Bill Be Prompt
ly l'aMisted. \
WASHINGTON, j Dec. 14.—The secre
tary of war has cabled instructions to
Maj. Gen. aMacArthur at Manila to be
; gin the work of returning the volun
i teer troops-from the Philippines-in or
der to permit of their discharge in this
'country by the 30th of June next. This
: action has been taken in anticipation of
the authorization by congress of the en
listment of regular regiments to replace
the recalled troops. Plans for the or
ganization of the proposed new regi
ments have been perfected at the war
department and complete arrangements
made for their speedy recruitment and
equipment. Action in this matter
awaits only the approval of congress. It
is hoped by the secretary of war and the
military authorities that the bill for the
reorganization of the army now before
..the senate will become a law before con
gress takes a recess for the holidays on
the 21st in; t. The officials make no se
cret of their great concern over the ex
isting situation and say that the failure
of congress to take immediate action
for its relief undoubtedly will result in
considerable embarrassment to the gov
ernment and seriously retard the execu
tion of the administration's policy for
the establishment of an efficient and
stable government in tne archipelago.
The opinion is expressed at the war
department that there is no prospect of a
general re-enlistment on the part of the
volunteers in the Philippines.
MEN WON'T RE-ENLIST.
The records of the department all tend
to show that only a small percentage
of the state troops are likely to serve
beyond their present term of enlistment.
Officers serving with volunteer regiments
in the Philippines have been sounded on
that point and have' reported a general
disc-inclination on the part of the volun
teers to prolong their foreign service.
It is recalled that a similar state of af
fairs existed among the state volunteers
recruited during the Spanish war. There
were about 16,000 of these volunteers in
the Philippines when the volunteer regi
ments were mustered out at the close of
the Spanish war, and of that number
only 1,450 men re-enlisted for service in
the Philippines in the present volunteer
array, notwithstanding the liberal in
ducements offered by the government to
that end, including travel pay allow
ance to the amount of $100 to each
man who re-enlisted. The plans of the
war department for bringing home the

NO MATTER HOW BLEMISHED
THE SKIN, FACE BLEACH
WILL MAKE IT PERFECT
.
Madame A. Ruppert says:
••My Face Bleach is not a new, untried
remedy, but has been used by the best
people for years, aud for dissolving and
removing forever pimples, freckles, moth
patches, blackheads, eczema, tan, sunburn,
sallowiiC-S, roughness or redness of the
Bkin, and for brightening and beautifying
tho complexion it has no equal. '.
It Is absolutely harmless to the most
delicate sUn.
The marvellous Improvement after a
few applications is most apparent, for the
skin becomes as nature intended it should
be, smooth, clear and white, free from
efery impurity and blemish. It cannot
fail, for its action is such that it draws tho
impurities out of the skin, and does not
cover them up, and is invisible during use.
This is the only thorough and permanent
iray.
During this month, I will offer to alia
trial bottle of my world renowned Face
Bleach, sufficient to show that it is all that
I claim for it, and any reader of this can
send me 25 cents in stamps or silver, and
I will send the trial bottle, securely

prepaid.
My book 'How to be Beautiful' will be

Lord Rosebery Sharply Called to Ac
count for His Puerile Criti-
cism of SusinesM Men
in Politic..-.
LONDON, Dec. 14.—1n the house of
lords today Lord Hardwick, in answer to
Lord Rosebery's criticism in the house at
the reassembling of parliament on Dec.
7, when the latter referred to the former
now under secretary of state for India!
as being a member of a firm of stock
brokers, said that when he was offered
the appointment he explained to Lord
Salisbury and to Lord George Hamilton,
the secretary of state for India, that
though he would relinquish business he
could not sever his connection with his
firm.
Ten years ago. Lord Hardwick con
tinued, he was left without a shilling
and could not afford to sever his con
nection with the city, which had furnish
ed him .a livelihood, for the sake of a few
years in office. While in office, however,
he -would not enter the stock exchange
and would not take up his duties until
he retired from active business in Janu
ary.
ROSEBERY INCONSISTENT.
Lord Hardwick pointed out that Lord
Rosebery's principle was not carried out
by Mr. Gladstone, and he said that Lord
Rosebery himself was a member of the
cabinet to which Mr. Gladstone appoint
ed a gentleman who was a partner in a
firm of cotton brokers, as under secre
tary of state for India, and Mr. Curry,
a banker in active business, as finance
agent of the India council, at the very
time that the fall in the prices of cotton
and silver were the two principal matters
the India office had to deal with.
After Lord Rosebery had reasserted the
correctness of bis principle Lord Salis
bury took exception to the soundness of
Lord Rosebery's views. He said Lord
Rosebery had raised a similar claptrap
cry against stock brokers as he had rais
ed against directors, who were not more
guilty of commercial sin than others in
the mercantile community. If no one
connected with commercial business is
capable of filling a government post, not
only was a stigma cast.upon an honor
able profession; but the circle of men
available for the service, of. their queen
would be seriously diminished. The field
for the selection of ministers was small
In this country. The doctrine invented
by Lord-Rosebery was of no value for
any practical purpose..

: LOUISVILLE, Dec. 14.—President John
Mitchell,^ of the United Mine .-.Workers
of America,' presided . over the morning
session '■ of the American _ Federation of
Labor today. The discussion of nu
merous resolutions : on the calendar was
resumed and the following was adopted:
To. facilitate ;'the organization cf
brotherhoods of oil and gas well work
ers- to aid the telephone girls of Ameri
ca in their efforts to organize. *
: The committee reported unfavorably
on a .resolution providing that the execu
tive council employ a member of the
federation 'to be known as _ the 'labor
reporter," whose duty shall be to collect
labor news and distribute it-to mem
bers of the Associated labor press of
America. Delegate Agard, of p Illinois,
speaking in'favor of the resolution paid
a high tribute to the entire press - of
America, to which, he said, organized
labor was under tremendous obligations.
Many delegates opposed the proposition'
on the ground that under tha direction
of a regular . reporter, thel: labor news
might be colored and distorted.: The
committee's adverse report was adopted.
The convention - postponed action on
the first resolution having reference to
trade autonomy, providing that the in
coming executive board be instructed not
to issue any more charters until a joint
conference of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor and
the. officers of the national and interna
tional crafts affiliated have been held,
for the purpose of determining the prop
er jurisdiction of all charters now held
and those granted in the future.
: The matter of'trade autonomy is ex
pected to come up in another form, aft
er the report of the grievance committee
has been submitted.
• A resolution for the further organiza
tion of the textile and other crafts of
North Carolina," South Carolina, Cieor
gie and Alabama and the appointment
of an organizer for that purpose was re
ferred to the incoming executive council
without recommendation.
j The special committee on the report of
the president, endorsed Mr. Gompers'
denunciation of the authorities of Idaho
for actions taken during the Coaur
d'Alene labor troubles.
The report expressed agreement with
President Gompers in his statement that
the- contract labor law has proven inef
fectual and the executive council was
instructed to formulate and submit to
the proper committees of congress fur
ther legislation on the matter necessary
to meet the exigencies existing.
The special committee' on compulsory
arbitration reported as in full accord
with President Gompers when he said
that the "right to quit work was an in
violable prerogative of every American'
workman and a restriction of that right
an outrage on the liberties of the Ameri
can people." The report recommended
that the convention take such action as
will secure legislation for voluntary ar
bitration as opposed to compulsory ar
bitration. r
The reports of both special committees
were unanimously adopted.
The committee on grievances made rec
ommendations, the effect of which is
against direct.trade autonomy and in fa
vor of the establishment fn the federation
of friendly courts of arbitration for the
settlement of inter-labor disputes..
The recommendations were referred to
the committee on laws. '■
Following are the recommendations of
the grievance committee in full:
First— hereafter when granting a
charter to organizations of a particular
craft, jurisdiction over which has been
granted by the terms of the charter al
ready issued to another organization, the
limitations of the new jurisdiction shall
be defined by the executive council.— if
such limitations be unsatisfactory to the
new applicant, no charter of the federa
tion shall be granted.
Second—When a dispute has once been
decided by. this convention, neither party
shall have the right to introduce it again
for three years, unless there is new evi
dence of a material character.
Third—That the American Federation
of Labor shall hereafter refuse to decide
questions of jurisdiction involving na
tional or international affiliated bodies,
unless by consent of the opposng inter
ests, and with the understanding that
each is willing to accept the decision of
the federation as a final settlement cf
the dispute.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention spent much of the after
noon session in the discussion of a reso
lution submitted by the international
union of steam egineers, expressing the
sense of the federation that "national
and international unions of any trade af
filiated therewith shall have exclusive
jurisdiction of that trade without inter
ference from the national union of the
United Brewery workers:" directing the
brewery workers to instruct all engineers,
firemen, machinists, team drivers, coop
ers, painters, and other mechanics em
ployed in breweries where trade arc af
filiated with the federation to join Imme
diately the legitimate union of _ their
trade and to withdraw from membership
in the United Brewery workers; also di
recting the Brewery Workers' union to
refrain in the future from initiating me.
chanics whose trades are otherwise or
ganized and affiliated; failure to comply
on the part of the United Brewery "work
ers to be sufficient ground for the revoca
tion of their charter.
On this resolution the committee made
a compromise report, which was virtually
a pronouncement against trade autonomy
and in favor of organization on an in
dustrial basis. In the particular instance
brought up in resolution the committee
favored allowing the United Breweries
union and the large organizations to reg
ulate their own affairs, and to affiliate
with them the engineers and the othcix
auxiliary crafts. The debate on concur
rence in this report was longhand some
times violent, but the proponents of the
principle erf trade autonomy appeared to
constitute only a small minority of the
convention.
Delegate McCarthy, of Boston, offered
an amendment making the expression
to the effect that the engineers and fire
men he directed to join the unions of
their respective crafts and to withdraw
from the United Brewery Worker.-;' union.
The amendment was lost and the com
promise .report of the committee was
then adopted by a vote of 3,3$ 1 in the
affirmative to 1,613 in the negative.
With reference to the dispute between
the International Association.of Machin
ists and the International Typographical
union as to trade autonomy, the resolu
tions committee recommended that the
Federation of Labor refuse io interfere.
This precipitated a polemic battle be
tween President O'Connell, of .he Ma
chinists, who -issued the committee's rec
ommendation,; and Mr. Lynch, of the
Typographical union, who supported it.
Mr. O'Connell protested against any
proposition to force, the machinists .to.
join - the I. T. -U. "We maintain,'.'. he
said, "that a man who takes care of a
linotype machine, mechanically is properly
a member- of the machinists' craft and
should belong to ihe-International Asso
ciation of Machinists. \ It is about time
that; the Federation of Labor made ■ a
definite. declaration in favor, or. against
trade autonomy. The .machinists have
the same fight to work in a newspaper
office as in any other industrial institu
tion in the country. If ; your decision* i?
in favor of industrial organization the.i
you will , have > fewer delegates .at your
next year's convention.^ We do not want
the printers'; jobs, but we know how to J
take care of the machinery of a.' new.'pa
per bf__.ee, and we propose to -protect the
right...to 7 belong to ; a. union . of: our own
craft. ' .:yA.'yA..A- . ;7'--.*.- -A;vyyA
-; Mr. Lynch argued in - favor of only one
union of workers in printing offices in
order that the rights of the employes
might be more advantageously main-'
tamed. • "On - the industrial field," he
said, _ "we want to * facet-' the employers
as an % organization. • When the 7 linotype
machines were first introduced we : found
many men setting up the machine* who
did not _ carry union cards; they repre
sented many . diffeeff^t .crafts, and the
question of • what union they j should be
long 7to arose. 77- "ttfeh the 7 Machinists'
union changed -.its laws to admit any
man who was a riiachine - tender. We
were compelled Vto take some 7 action to
preserve' the power 'we had in: the : news
paper offices; so decided to ~ assume
jurisdiction over all persons employed In
the - newspaper ; offices j of | the country.
The machines are'being more arid more
simplified § every | dtty, and the technical
knowledge t required -in _ their., operation is
constantly I becoming less. _It has been
our experience' that the only skill a news
paper £ publisher demands* is skill -suffi
cient to take care of the plant and keep
it running.,:: But any skilled machinist
can be 9 admitted '.to ! i the International
Typographical union If - he so desires.
We have~assumed"aiia3sriccessfully main
tained this jurisdiction; and we are able
to maintain it to ; the ■ advantage '- of all
-who % work in newspaper offices—a thing
which th<_ International Association of
Machinists has not been able 'to do for
its men employed In' printing offices.".--'.--
At the conclusion of President Lynch*
remarks the convention recessed until '8
o'clock.:- '■■■■'.: :.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
Delegate Warner, of New York, speak
ing for the machinists, opposed the com
mittee's recommendation, claiming that
the machinists were skilled • laborers and
entitled to belong to an organization of
their own : craft. _„. .„ . T 777 — :
_ Secretary Bramwood, of the typograph
ical union, said, the union had been-in
favor at all i times ; of conciliatory meas
ures to settle the dispute. He denied the
statement that a practical machinist was
necessary to run a linotype plant. ...
"Our insistence is now and always has
been," he said, "that while a man' is em
ployed in a composing 'room -In any ca
pacity that does not require the skill of
a practical machinist he shad carry the
card of the typographical union."
Delegate Rosenberg, of San Francisco,
declared that the opposition to trade
autonomy was in line with the general
imperialist Idea now dominating the
world over. "
'Delegate Driscoll, of Boston, opposed
the recommendation of non-interference
and urged action for or against .au
tonomy.
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, spoke in favor of the commit
tee's recommendation. 0
Vice President Dinean ottered a resolu
tion pledging the good offices of the fed
eration for mediation « between the or
ganizations in question and requesting
the incoming executive . council to facili
tate a settlement within the present year.
Also regretting the action of the I. T. U.
in not accepting arbitration. -
President Gompers supported the sub
stitute and was greeted with tumultuous
applause. He declared'- against using the
force of the federation in adjusting dif
ferences between affiliated bodies. - - •
The Knights of : Labor was a great
labor organization,.,he said, but it was*
founded on force, :and?.force caused" its
downfall. The revolt, after the Richmond
convention of the K. of L., was -the be
ginning of the decadence. "The question
whether the I. T. U. is right or wrong
matters less to us -than the maintenance
of our voluntary form. of government.
I will not attempt to. defend the I. T. IT. :
in talking the machine tenders, or in
their refusal to arbitrate, but I would
rather see ten trades unions at each
other's throats tharj-.;to see the funda
mental principle of the federation disre
garded and. violated. You can never sur
vive the destruction of a principle." _
The substitution was'adopted by, .a viva
voce vote, only one voice being heard in
the negativve. 7 7

NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. Three
arrests have been made in connection
with the'robbery 0f,.». mail car on tho
Illinois Central railroad in the suburbs
last night. The engineer of the train
failed, however, to identify the prisoners.
Special officers had a running fight with
a white man and a negro during the
night, near the scene of the hold-up. The
men refused to halt and, when fired, upon,
started to run for the swamps. In their
flight they dropped a.United States mail
sack, and later a cartridge belt worn by
the white man was found, covered with
blood. All trace of them was lost when
they entered the swamps.
There is no means of ascertaining how
much the robbers secured, but it is said
they carried away several registered
mail pouches and a number of Christmas
packages. ' s-r
This afternoon the special officers who
engaged the two men in a fight visited
police headquarters and identified one of
the suspects, who gave the name of Ray
Henderson, and said his Joins was iii

the swamp where the men eluded pursuit,
and the special officers were positive as
to his identity.

■■■ LONDON. Dec. 14.—Lord, Kitchener re
ports that after severe fighting at Nooit
gedacht, Gen. ;,Clements',.:..forces- ' were
compelled to retire -■ by Commandant De
larey with a force of 2,500 men. * Five
British officers were killed. The other
casualties were not reported. ■'-r
! Lord Kitchener's ; official dispatch to
the war office is as follows:'•:-'•■'
; "Pretoria, ;. Dec. 13.—Clements' force at
Nooitgedacht, on the Magaliesburg, was
attacked at dawn ..today by Delarey, re
inforced .. by .■ Beyer's commando from
Warmbath, making a force estimated at
2,500. - Though . the first attack was re
pulsed, Ihe Boers managed to get r atop
of the Magaliesburg, which was held by
the troops tof the;: Northumberland fusil
iers and were thus able to command
Clements' camp. He .retired on Hek
poort and took up a position on a hill
in the center of the valley.
; "The casualties have not been com
pletely reported, but the/fighting - was
very severe, and I deeply regret that
Col. Legge, of the Twentieth hussars,
and,,Capts.- Macßean, . Murdoch and At
kins -were killed. Reinforcements have
left.here"..
;. Lord Kitchener also reported that the
Boers made an attack and were repulsed
at Lichtenburg, and that Gen. Letmer
was killed. Attacks upon Bethlehem and
Brede were also . repulsed, the Boers
losing ten killed and fourteen wounded.
Bryheid was attacked Dec. 11. Sniping
continued when the message was dis
patching.
- The scenes at the war office today re
call those witnessed in the early stages
of the war. A constant stream of excited
people filled the lobbies, all seeking de
tails of the disaster. The absence of
the names of any of the officers of the
Northumberland fusiliers in Gen. Kit
chener's dispatch leads to the forebodings
that the four companies of the fusiliers
mentioned are in the hands of the
Boers. 1'
j The war office officials evidently ex
pect a heavy casualty list, but they,are
hopeful lum the fact that me disp. tch
docs not mention the capture of the
Northumberlands, that such a great ca
tastrope as been escaped. Orders were
issued at Aldershot, Malta and other
military centers to dispatch ail the avail
able mounted, infantry to South Africa.
The scene of the fight is ominously near
Pretoria. ' Nooitgedacht is only twenty
two miles northwest of Pretoria..
.It is reported that \ Gen: . Knox, co
operating with the British column at
Reddersburg,. has stopped Gen. Dewet,
and that a battle is proceeding. The re
port adds that many of Gen. Dewet's
followers have been captured.
BOER ATTACK EXPECTED.
LORENZO MARQUES, Dec. 14.— The
British troops at Koomatipoort are stand
ing to arms in the expectancy of an at
tack by a Boer force of 1,500 which is
in that vicinity. It is believed to be the
intention of this force to make a dash
upon the town. The situation is regard
ed as serious. .
A force of 150 infantry, a squadron of
cavalry and two guns were dispatched
to the frontier today. -s*^

Chicago Grand Jury Has Its Work
Cut Out. .
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Rigid investigation
of various departments of the municipal
government, especially the police depart
ment, were demanded of the December
grand jury by Judge Gibbons today in his
final instructions to that body concerning
their course in regard to vice and crime
in Chicago. Besides his reference to
the alleged corruption in the* police de
partment, Judge Gibbons scored prize
fighting, which he said. was plainly
against the law. The court traced much
of the immorality In Chicago to child
labor and the employment of girls and
women in factories and stores at small
wages for long hours, and said the pub
lic mind must be aroused to the establish
ment of refuges and homes for these
women, who by the recent closing of the
dives had been driven to the streets.

In reference to the municipal govern*,
ment, Judge Gibbons said:
"If public officials and the conservators
of public peace and purity are in league
with law breakers and offenders against
decency, affording them Immunity from
punishment in return for a division of
spoils, bring those officials to the bar of
justice. Time and expense are not to be
considered. .Fiscal as well as moral
economy will be promoted by their con
viction and punishment."
The charges are regarded as being the
most drastic ever given a grand Jury in
