General Hastings of Pennsylvania Not
 Blamed by the AdJu an:- General.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 11.-Adjutant- General McCleIland said, in refere nee to the sensational report published that there was a deficit of $90,0 ,000 in the Ad. jutant-General's Department, that there Is no deficit that he knows of and he does not believe there is any.
 Gen. Hastings, late adjutant-general, after conference with the Governor and AdJutant-General McClelland, made a statement of the finances of the Adju- tant-General's department and complete ly vindicated himself
 When Gen. Hastings took charge of the office he found deficiency of over $3O, ,O00. This deficiency had been accu- mulating from one administration to an- other, not by reason of any loose methods or extravagant expenditures, but because theNaappropriations for the National Guard were not sufficient for its maintenance.
 These facts were laid before Gov. Pat tison, and it was decided to ask the Legislature to grant an appropriation to cover the amount of the deficiency.

THREE GIANT LABOR BODIES.
Dramatic Scene at the United NIins
 Workers Convention,

Dramatic Scene at the United Mtna
 Workers Convention.
 COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 11.--High above the stage of the city hall, in letters a foot long, hangs the motto, 'Eight Hours, Only, Per Day." Everywhere upon the walls of the spacious room are other notices having a similar import. They exp ress the sentiments and indi. cate the future demands of the United Mine Workers of America, whose first annual convention is in session here.
 The American Federation, it is known. has selected the giant miners organiza- tion to make the next grand national struggle for eight hours. Thousands of workmen, with an almost perfect organ ization, and backed by millions of dol lars, will be engaged in the battle against aggregated capital.
 At this mine workers annual conven- tion it is expected that much of the pre- liminary detail of the impending battle will be arranged. For this reason the session is attracting national interest from other than the mining interests, Besides the general officers of the mine workers many distinguished labor lead CTS are present, among whom are Sam mel Gompers, president of the American Federation; SecretaryTreasurer Hayes, of the K. of l.. General Assembly,; A. w. Wright, member of the General Execu- tive Board, K. of L., and editor of the Knights of Labor Journal; Hugh J. Cav anaugh, worthy foreman, K. of L., and Hon. John Mcbride, Ohio State Commis- sioner of Labor Statistics.
 At the morning session committees on credentials and cn rules having been ap- pointed, a committee was sent to escort President Gompers and other distin- guished gentlemen to the hall. When he appeared upon the stage a dra- matic scene ensued. President John B. Rae of the United Mine Workers stepped forward to the front of the platform, holding in his own the hands of Mr. Gompers of the American Federation and MT. Wright of the Knights of Labor The resonant cheers which moment be- fore had beat against the castellated hushed into stiffness profound. Said President Rae, in tones of triumph and exultation: ''These clasped hands are in- dicative of the true spirit of fraternity of feeling which joins and cements the interests of these three giant labor or ganizations."
 Then again great volumes of pande- moniac sound broke the stiffness. Cheer upon cheer from the lusty throats of brawny miners rose to the ceiling, and was echoed back, only to be caught and returned upon an advancing wave of renewed applause
 President Gompers addressed the con- vention, his remarks treating princi- pally of the eight-hour movement.

Parnell, and that in consequence Parnell refuses to retire for period longer than the pres- ent session of Parliament. He also in- sists upon remaining in control of the Irish party until the next general elec- tion.
 MT. Thomas P. Gill has arrived here from Paris and has held conferences wi tn Parnell and Sexton.
