Ais Laughlin, an Indian about
Webster's age, had been in this city yester-
day, had filed up with bad whisky, and

the Source of the Gulf Stream.

NEW YORK, Jan. IS Especial. The
latest report concerning the famous Robert
Ray Hamilton case is the direct assertion
that the supposed dead man is alive and

ed that he is an officer in the United
States navy and has recently distinguished
himself by the discovery of the source OF
the Gulf stream. 1t is stated that this
officer was on intimate terms with
Ray Hamilton during the time of
his most unfortunate complications
with Eva, and had frequently
correspondent with him while he was on
his ranch in the West. He was not at all
surprised to hear the report of Hamilton's
death from drowning, for short time be-
fore this he had received the following
message from his old playmate:
"You may hear something that will surprise
you. II / leave here suddenly, it will be for
reasons best known TO myself"
Shortly after, the bosom friend of Ham
ton states, he received letter in Rays
handwriting from San Francisco, stating
that he was about to sail for Japan
from there. He was going to Australia
and there begin a new life under an as
sumed name, which he gave to his friend.
The man who has this alleged information
has refused TO give the name which he
claims Hamilton has adopted.

Eight Hours for Miners.

NEW York, Jan. 2s.-At meeting of the
executive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor yesterday the circular issued
by Powderly, requesting all labor organiza-
tons to send delegates to the conference to
organize third party in conjunction with
the Farmers Alliance, was brough up, but
it was decided to pay no attention to it. 1t
was thought unwise for q labor organiza-
ton TO NEEDLE with politics.
The miners demand for eight hours,
which viii take place next May, was taken
up. 1t was resolved to levy an assessment
of two cents per week per capita for five
weeks on the membership of all unions
connected with the federation. 1t is said
that there are favorable prospects that the
demand for eight hours will be granted
without any strike, as employees and en-
ployers are holding conferences all the
time with good results.
The committee which recently went to
the convention of bricklayers at Toronto
to ask the bricklayers' union to join the
federation reported that the bricklayers
had decided TO refer the matter to the
unions. The chances are, the committee
reported, that they would join after a
