WHEELING, W. VA. MONDAY MORNING, JULY
AFTER GoMPERs SCALP.
Pittsburg Carpenters Hot Against the
Federation of Labor.

CAobAOA VI LhDOr.
PITTsBURG, July 5.-The disgusted
striking carpenters of this district are
loading bomb to fire at Mr.. Gompers.
OF the Federation of Labor, at the next
annual meeting of that order. At q
session OF the carpenters to-day petit
tion was presented to Master Workman
Dempsey, requesting him to withdraw
the carpenters from the Federation of
Labor and reorganize them into an
assembly Of the Knights of Labor.
He will probably do this, but even if
not large majority of the carpenters
and other building trades will withdraw
from the Federation and enter the
knights of Labor. Enough carpenters,
however, are to be left in the Fedora
tion to create trouble for Mr.. GOmperS
at the next meeting of that order, as
the Pittsburg Assembly has decided TO
petition the Fedora lion to dispense with
the services OF President GOmpers.
The petition will also request that the
salary Of the President be made suf1ici-
ent to employ man of ability to handle
great labor questions, as they say the
present salary is not large enough to
enlist the services of mon of the cali
bre of Il. V. Powderly.
This action of the Pittsburg district
has been brought about by the fact that
when President GOmperS was here pre-
vious TO the eight-hour strike, he ad-
viSed the building trades to go ahead
as the Federation OF Labor was behind
them. This turned out TO be untrue,
and the Federation did not contribute
one penny to the strikers, as result Of
which the S-hOur move collapsed utter
ly. For this and other charges not yet
formulated, the Pttsburg district pro-
poses TO make fght against the Presi-
dant of the Eadnratinn of Labor

man could not speak English, and the
barkeeper did not know him or pay
much attention to his talking, as he
paid for what he got. Friday

saloon, and at o'clock suddenly died
from heart disease. He had one hun

not be identified, and by order OF Coron-
er Myers the body was buried Saturday

A VERY SICK MAN.
BLAINgS ILLNESS MORE SERIOUS THAN
MANY PERSONS IMAGINE.
Il is Not Expected that Hs Will Ever Again be
Able to Resume His Duties at the State De-
partment-It is Reported that he Oncs
Tsndsr.d His Resignation.
Special TELEGRAM TO me REGISTER.

Special TsleoTGsa TO the REGISTER
WASHINGTON, d. c. July 5.-That
Mr.. Blaine is a dangerously sick man is
generally believed here in administra-
tion circles. Many things are constant
ly cropping cut, tending TO show that
he is not expected to ever resume his
duties at the State Department. Indeed,
there are whispers that Mr.. Blaine,
some time ago, actually rendered his
resignation, partly through a feel
ing of disgust at the man
ner in which he had been
treated by the President, and partly be-
cause he was convinced that it would be
suicidal for him to again undertake the
work which had broken him down.
1t is said the President took the resig-
nation under advisement, and was in
clined to accept it. He was dissuaded,
however, by Mr.. Blaine'S friends in the
Cabinet, who urged that ii Mr.. Blaine
did not have the hope OF returning 10
his duties at the State Department he
would give himself up to his
ypOcnOnurldcai tendencies WlJhOu. lc-
serve and gravely impair his chances
of recovery, SO the President declined
to accept the resignation, and told Mr..
Blaine to take a long rest through the
summer and be prepared to resume his
duties in the fall.
The course OF events since Mr.. Blaine
went away seems to give color to these
stories. The long rest does not appear
however, to have had the desired effect
and the private letters received here
| from Bar Harbor in che last few few
days convey very gloomy news OF Mr.
Blaines condition. There is settled
conviction that he will never return tc
public life, and a fatal ending to hi'
present illness within few months, l.
| ,.nt ,,.nnl.c will not nnnan aurnriSH.

FOUR SOLUTIONS
To the Mysterious Appearance of Water
on the Colorado Desert.

the NlysteTIDub VI
on the Colorado Desert.
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 5.-The
water is still rising in the Colorado
desert. There are four possible solu-
tionS of the problem. The water comes
from the Colorado river or from the
gulf, or from the surface, or by sub
terranean channel.
The steadily increasing volume Of the
water in the face OF the fall in the river
has caused a change of opinion and
now, in spite of ali the reports to the
contrary, it is generally believed that
the flood must have its source
in the gulf high tides which
might easily break down the
slender barrier of sand which stands
between IL and its Old bed. Should this
theory be correct it is evident that we
are on the eve OF witnessing one OF the
most interesting geographical char ges
which has taken place on this continent.
The increase in the area of the gulf
would itself be small in Importance
compared with the great modification
in the climate, which this inland sea
would cause.
Not the least remarkable feature Of
this phenomenal occurrence Is the great
difficulty of. obtaining authentic infor-
nation. The water is too shallow 10
navigate and too deep to ride or drive
through, while the frightfnl heat makes
it an act of great danger TO venture
away from water and shade.

DISGRACEFUL ROW
In Chicago Trade and Labor Assembly.
Black Eyes and Broken Heads.


CHICAGO, July 5.-A disgraceful free
for-all fight was the feature of the reg
ular weekly meeting Of the Trade and
Labor Assembly to-day. For about two
hours the Assembly had been discussing
the report of the Labor Day and Enter
tainment Committee with reference to
the letting of the contract for printing
the souvenir. Fraud was charged and
finally the lie was exchanged between
two delegates, when the fighting started.
The utmost confusion reigned and for
time it seemed that everybody in the
hall except the women were mixed up
i'm the melee. Black eyes and oro%en
heads were numerous, and at least one
knife was drawn, though its owner was
trimmed M and disarmed before murder
was committed. Tommy Morgan, late
candidate for Mayor on the Socialist
ticket, and a member OF the committee,
whose report caused the trouble, disap-
peared while the row was in progress.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY ON PARNELL's Deaf

senator Gorman, IN opening the cam.
paign in Maryland, was very emphatic in
reminding his hearers that the Force bill is
not dead yet; for, although defeated in the
late Congress, he predicts that it will come
up again, with more force than ever, if the
Republican party achieves success in
November. ''That BILL" said this gov.
ernor, twill come up again if Harrison is
re- elected. Do not mistake the signs Of
the times. Masssc husetts had Lodge, who
introduced the bill, as chairman of its Re.
publican convention; its resolve was fol-
the Force bill. Ohio and every Republican
State that has acted are for it. The Re.
publican party is irrevocably committed to
it; their very existence depends upon it,
That question is above taxes and extrav-
sgance; it determines the question of the
continuance OF the form of government
under which we live."
This is putting the issue in it's true light,
and the Democrats should not forget Oh
naglect it. We can stand high tariff, an
empty treasury and another billion Con-
gress far better than we can stand the
Force bill, to which the Republican party
in all of the Northern States is committed.

Charles Stewart Parnell Dead.

The distinguished Irish statesman, who
for so many years led with such incompara.
be skill and ability the Irish party Of
Home Rule in the House of Commons anG
before the people in Great Britain and
Ireland, was born in Avopdale, county
Wicklow, Ireland, in 1916. His father was
high sheriff of the county of Meath and his
grandfather was the last Chancellor of the
Exchequer of the Irish Parliament. His
mother was the daughter of Admiral
Stewart, of the United States navy.
Mr.. Parnell, was educated at Cambridge,
and was in 1875 elected, at the early age Of
90, member of Parliament for Meath. he
was continuously a member of this body uI
to the time of his sudden death, las,
Wednesday. In 1890 he was chosen presi-
dent of the Home Rule party. Since this
time he has been one of the most conspicu.
GUS figures in English and Irish politics,
being for many years president of the Irish
Land League. His commanding superb
GRITTY as a statesman was admitted on all
sides, and his leadership was unquestioned
M to his unfortunate ENHANCEMENT with
Mrs. O'Shea, whom he afterwards married.
1t would have been much better for the
fame of Mr.. Parnell if his life had ended
before this unhappy episode. which is the
only blot upon an otherwise noble and hon
orable career.
