A PARADOXICAL DEATH,
General Ames Killed and Buried Without
 His Own Knowledce.

General Ames Killed and Buried Without
 His Own Knowledge.
 WASHINGTON April 22.-During the pro- gross of the Armes trial an estimable gen tleman has been killed and buried without his knowledge or consent.
 When Governor Beaver was on the stand several days ago he said: "Some gentleman of my official household said to me that General Ames wanted to be an aide on my staff, and l, forgetting that General Ames was dead, said immediately, appoint him."
 In the next sentence Governor Beaver said that it was General Adelbert Ames whom he meant. Since that time General Adelbert Ames has been, for the purposes of this trial, considered a dead general In some inexplicable way it has also come to be the generally accepted belief that he has been dead fifteen Gyears. Nobody knows who fixed the date of his death but it was fixed.
 General Adelbert Ames, the same man to whom Governor Beaver referred, is now living at Lowell, Mass. and if a good firm handwriting is taken as an indication of his strength, is in reasonably good health General Ames married Elan che Butler, the beautiful daughter of General B. F. Butler. Their son, Butler Ames, was appointed a cadet at West Point last January and the letter of acceptance is signed by the bows father, Adelbert Ames

 NEW YORK, April 22.-New faces were seeo at yesterdays meeting of the Central Labor Union, where over 100 newly elected delegates, sent there by their unions under the plan of reorganization, made their ap- pearance for the first time. Of the old element, whose alleged corrupt tactics brought about the withdrawal of the Progressives and Socialists, sonly very few were present, and they kept them selves in the back ground. Ex-delegates Archibald and Jones, who had seated then- selves among the new members, withdrew when the sergeant-at-arms intimated to them that they were not wanted there
 The Credential committee has not yet fin ished its investigation of the protests made against several of the old objectionable del egates who have been reelected by their organizations. The protested credentials are from the Amalgamated Carpenters Nos. and 6, United Machinists No. L, Brewery Employees Association, Jefferson Labor Club and United German Payers.
 A committee from the New York Labor club reported that several of its members who had been victimlZed in different laun- dries had establisheda a cooperative laundry at Bond street, as they had been black listed all over this city. The club consists of women and girls.
 resolution to protest against the re- moval of Sing Sing prison, and to call upon Governor Hill to veto the bill was adopted.

Andrew Moves Singular Motive for Com-
 nitting Suicide.
 LAWRENCE, Mass, April 22.-Section hand Andrew Moves committed suicide here because he had been misunderstood Although an Englishman by birth, Moves was an ardent homo ruler, and his writings on that topic from time to time appeared in local papers. He had also pronounced ideas on industrial questions. A recent article from his pen hao caused something of a sensation, and when the writer's identity became known he became very much troubled in mind. He wrote a card of ex- planation to local paper, but the editor published only paragraph giving its sub stance. This caused Moves additional un- easiness, and he shot himself through the brain.
 On his person was a note in which he said that he decided to commit suicide be- cause he wanted his card of explanation published, and he knew it would be if he took his life. He also left note expressing g the hope that his workingmen friends who had been divided by reason of his utter ances honestly made would now be recon ciled

Not Enough Men in the Navy to Ma,

Not Enough Men in the Navy to Man
 the New Ships.
 WASHINGTON April p. - The present force of enlisted men in the Navy aggre- gates about $500 men. It is the opinion of Commodore Schley that force of 15,OOO men, or nearly 1000 additional will be re- quired to equip the vessels authorized by Congress.
 It is more than likely that an effort will be made to secure some sort of provision for these enlisted men in the Navy so that the government can command the very best type of manhood for its sailors. The off, cers are already provided for by the retired list.
 The last Congress arranged the savings bank system so that the money which was retained from the sailors until they were finally paid off could be deposited with the paymaster and would draw per cent. in- terest. This money is non-forfeitable for any cause except desertion. Other steps in behalf of the men are in consideration.

They Go We'll Armed and win Not sub-
 init to Uncle Sanl seixing Them.
 TORONTO, Ont, April 22.-A special des- patch from Victoria, B. C., says that seal CTS there are much concerned about the an- nouncement from Washington of the in- tention to seize all vessels sealing in Behr- ing Sea, that hunters and sailors are re- luctant to go on these cruises, and that those sealers which do go will be armed and will not tamely submit as before to seizure by American cutters.
 The Globe, commenting on the possibility of conflict, says:
 'Tn order to obviate this danger the British Government should order a man of- war to protect Canadians in Behring Sea or should plainly abandon the apparently shal- low pretence that Great Britain will stand by Canada's rights against any American aggression whatever"

ON THE OKLAHOMA LINE.
The Boome,s spend a Quiet Sabbath Preparatory to To-Day's Hard Work.

Preparatory to To-Day's Hard Work.
 ON THE OKLAHOMA LINE, by Courier via Arkansas City, Kansas, April 21. The boomers Sabbath has been quiet as we'll as happy one with only few hours be tween them and the green Eldorado in which their hopes are centred. They are experiencing the first feeling of content ment they have felt in many day. They will all be ready to go when the signal is sounded at noon to morrow, and if they carry out their present plans, it is safe to predict the most of them will be comforta- ply settled on homesteads before the sun goes down.
 They will have race with cowboys and spectators for the fertile fields along the banks of the Cimarron, but as the ones who are going into the interior are well mounted, they are confident of finally win- ming the homes for which they have been struggling so many years.
 Capt. Hayes, who is here with his com pany of troopers, rode down toward the Rock Island track to-day to consult with Captain Woodson relative to the best means to be adopted for preventing bloodshed. The Captain has tried to find out something about the plans of the boomers, but the latter have been retic- ent in talking to him. Each man knows what he is going to do, but is afraid to say any LAluS tUOuU lG lcSG HIS uclSuUOE mlkut profit by his words.
 Captain Hayes regards the silence as ruinous for he believes it will result in con fusion and turmoil, and finally in blood shed. He is now considering the advisabil- ity of disarming every man along the line and if Captain Woodson acquiesces in his views he will send out his troops with or ders to search wagons and confiscate all arms that are found.
 If the plan is adhered to the Captains collection of shooting implements will be the biggest in the West, for there is not 8 wagon on the Cherokee Strip that does not contain a winchester, a shotgun, or brace of six shooters. Even the ''schooner'' manned by the three pretty Blackburn sisters has it's armament ready for action.
 The boomers did little this afternoon but hunt for shelters from the.sun which came down like midsummer.
 OTo-night camp fires are burning low and only few shadowy figures are in sight. Nearly everybody is asleep. They need rest to be able to join successfully in to- morrow's confusion and turmoil Your cor respondent was the last horseman abroad tonight.

 The horses which wintered here have been well all winter, but are hardly as for ward in their work as their owners would like.

Declarations to the stakes of the National Jockey club, which were due the 18th, were somewhat larger than was antict- pated, there being 59 declarations from a total of 166 entries which were made to the eight stakes.

Mourning in Former Days.

Mourning was formerly far moro rigor- ously observed than in our time. "Not only did the widow wear mournin g garments, but she was also obliged to remain in a bed draped with black, in a chamber hung with black, to receive her visitors. Mourning was carried so far that Kings changed thelr table service, using knives with ebony instead of ivory handles" A fifteenth-century writer says, in an old volume entitled "Honneurs de la Cour:' Il have heard it said that the Queen of France must remain an entire year without leaving her chamber after the death of the King, her husband" In the eighteenth century gray cloth obtained con- siderable acceptance as a mark of mourn ing
