QUAY WRITING.

The Castigation Given Him by Con. Bob
Kennedy Goes to tho Quick.
WARRINGTON. Sept 4.-Much indignation
exists among the republican senators over
Representative Kennedy's attack on the
senate as whole and Quay in particular
yesterday. A general consultation was
held but no plan Of action was agreed
upon. A prominent senator said that if
after time, the house took no action. the
senate should pass resolution calling the
attention of the house to the unparliamen
tary proceedings and then leave it to deal
with the question al it saw At. But this
action would depend upon the manner in
which knowledge of the delivery of the
speech reached the senate. t, Kennedy's re-
marks do not appear in today's Congress
sional Record, the reporter noting that
they are held for revision. Unless they
como before the senate in the record or
some other authoritative way, it may be
that nothing will be done. Quay knew
nothing of the delivery of the speech until
this morning and after his arrival at the
senate he conferred with several Of his COL
leagues, spending considerable time with
Ingalls,. He said to reporter thRt he had
not determined what course to pursue. He
had under consideration the making of a
statement under the rules governing ques-
tions of personal privileges.

Haig Also Loser.
BUTTE, Sept. IN. w. Simmons, bride
groom at the Simmons-Hort Wedding last
night, appeared before the police magis-
trate this morning and complained Of the
loss of suit of clothes. Tonight Geo.
Hartraft was placed under arrest for steal

suits belonging to Business Manager Haig,
of the Miner. The three had been rooming
in the same building and no one thought of
suspicioning Hartraft. He was detected
through pawnbroker who had purchased
the clothes. His arrest caused no little
feeling, and the case promises to be more
than ordinarily interesting.
Butte to-day furnished another victim
for the deadly coal oil lamp. Mrs. ]. l..
Pierce, living in suburb, attempted to
light her fire this afternoon in the orthodox
fashion. The fire caught in the oil and a
terrific explosion followed, enveloping the
woman in liquid flames. For
tunately help was near at hand. and the
flames were quickly extinguished. but not
until Mrs. Pierce had been 80 badly burned

A NOTED OHIOAN.

Ex-Govsrnor Noyes Drops Dead In the
Cincinnati Court House.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 4.-Ex- Governor E. F.
Noyes dropped dead in the court house
this morning of apoplexy. He had been on
the bench, but as he was too unwell to pro-
ceed further, left the bench and was on his
way to the street car when he suddenly fell
backward and died instantly. The cause is
supposed to be apoplexy. Judge Noyes
was 81 years old. He entered the
army here in 1861 as major of the Thirty
ninth Ohio regiment of infantry, and soon
after was its colonel. July 1, 1864, at RuHs
Mills, Georgia, he charged upon the enc
my's earth works which he held. He left the
army brevet major general. Since the
war he served as city solicitor of Cincin-
natl, probate judge of Hamilton county,
governor of Ohio, and was minister to
France under President Hayes. Last year
he was elected judge of the superior court
of Cincinnati.

Fawning Republicans Throw High Their
Ready Hats for Reed.
Dover, N. Y, Sept. 4.-Speaker Reed left
Boston for Portland in a special car this
morning. At Haverhill he stopped and
was escorted to the public square where he
spoke on national affairs for twenty
minutes. He also spoke at Dover. He con-
graduated his hearers on belonging to the
republican party, because of it's s'middling
honesty" The party is reasonably good
and is on the way to become thoroughly,
absolutely good. The remainder of the
address was in vindication of keeping
promises by the republican party. Henry
Cabot Lodge was then introduced and
spoke few minutes. Three cheers were
given Reed.

A Federation Mans Apt Figure About
tho Whale.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 4.-The Federation of
of Labor last night laid on the table letter
asking for contributions from unions repre-
sented IN the federation for the New York
Central railroad strikers. Members of the
federation who spoke, said they had every
confidence in the local union organization
through which money would be transmitted,
but had no confidence in the general execu-
tive board of the Knights of Labor. They
do not believe the money would ever reach
the strikers. One delegate said Powderly is
the Jonah of the Knights of Labor. He
hopes that the next general convention of
the Knights of Labor will throw Powderly
overheard and that no whale will cast
him up.

The Great Trades Union Congress
Opened Under Very Auspi-
cious Circumstances.
Cheers and Applause Greet the
Appearance Of the Most
Noted Leaders.
During the Sessions of the
Congress.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The opening of the
trades union congress at Liverpool Monday
was marked by the greatest enthusiasm.
The prominent labor agitators-Burns,
Mann, Tillett and others-were wildly ap-
plauded. In the course of his address John
Burns warned the congress that it was nee
essary to keep the labor movement out OF
politics, as it was essentially an economic
question, and had nothing to do with iber-
alism or conservatism as such.. The con-
gress is by far the largest and most import
ant of the kind ever held. The steady and
rapid growth of trades unionism, it's i'm
portance to all men who labor in large
bodies, the victories it has won for
it's supporters, all combine to make
the present meeting significant, as much
depends upon its decisions and decrees.
Employers of labor are keeping as anxious a
watch over the deliberations of the body az
the workmen who are represented in it by
delegates. While labor has been tending
toward more and more perfect organization
capital has also been concentrating in syn
dicates and combinations, and it is difiult
ments can be pushed without reaching q
point of collision or deadlock. The social
lists emphasize this difficulty, ard their par
tisans in congress are reody to argue that,
despite it's apparent success, trades union
ism is but temporary expedient,
which will ultimately be circumvented
by the capitalist employers. who are in q
position to outlive the employees when it
comes to a final struggle. The socialists
therefore claim that nothing short of a
radical change in the wage system will eff
feet permanent uplifting of the mass to
condition of reasonable comfort. But the
socialists are in hopeless minority in the
congress, and nothing revolutionary is
likely to come of the meeting. The London
dock workers and gas workers, ightermen
and leather workers are represented now
for the first time in a general labor confer
ence. Among the most prominent repres-
entatives are Messrs. Broadhurst, Burt
and John Wilson, members of parliament;
John Burns, Tom Mann, hen Tillett, Ben
Pickard. Glenn Edwards, Hayden Saunders
and George Shipton. Lady Dixie, Beatrice
Potter and Mrs. Routledge, secretary of the
women's trades council, are looking after
women's interests. The programme of the
congress, subject to possible. modification
and additions, is as follows:
l. Employers liability bill. 2. Certii-
Gates of competency for men in charge of
steam engines and boilers. 3. The desira-
bility of increasing the number of factory
and workshop inspectors. 4. Public con-
tracts and fair wages. 5. The right Of rela-
tives of deceased miners to be represented
at coroners' inquests. 6. Cooperation and
its relation to trades unionism. Z. Repre-
sentation of labor in parliament. 8. Eight
hour day.

the police had no right to arrest without q

Increased Chinese Immigration.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. AT yesterdays
session of the Dominion Labor congress, q
letter from the Victoria, B. c.. Trades As
sembly, calling the attention of the con-
gress to the increase in Chinese immigra-
tion during the past year, was read. 1t pro-
tested particularly against this immigration,
because of the immortality and congestion
of the labor market that resulted. It was
stated that the opium habit is becoming so
common in the west among young white
men that it was no longer a cause of horror
or even wonder. ''Surely," the letter went
on, to say, "the Dominion government is not
so dead to the future of Canada rs to allow
these things to continue. Legislation as
exclusive as that of the Australian colonies
would have the desired effect"
