are now guarding Washington Place,

1t is learned that one line of
official investigation has developed
the fact that the ex-queen
shortly expects the return of ex. Prin-
cess Kaiulani to Honolulu from Eng.

Theodore II. Davis comes as her
political agent to effect compromise

that in case of restoration the ex-

may be, will apply to Great Britain

LABOR LEADERS MEET.

Opening OF the National Federation
Conveution-The Western Movement.
HCHcAGo. Dec. 12.-The thirteenth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor opened in the
city council chamber to-day with over
ninety delegates from all parts of the
country present and President Sam
uel Gompers in the chair.
Governor Altgeld and Acting Mayor
Swift had been invited to speak at the
opening session, but were informed
they would not be permitted to ad-
dress the delegates because of a pro.
vision in the Federation's constitution
prohibiting addresses by men holding
public positions. Altgeld was not in
formed that his presence was not de.
sired, until just before the convention
was called to order.
President Gompers in his reply to
the speech of welcome, after referring
to the homeless and starving thou
sands throughout the country said:
THE men responsible for these con-
ditions who sent out protests, in which
we join, against the throwing of a
bomb in Barcelona and Paris and
against the assassins in Chicago must
concede to the solutions of the prob
lens which organized labor presents
for the development of the human
family or be confronted with this
kind of guerilla warfare"
There is apparent feeling among
the Western delegates that the honor
of the presidency of the organization.
which has remained in the East for
several years, should be conferred on
a Western leader, and gossip is cur
rent in the convention hall as TO a
strong fight at the time of the cleo
ton of officers. A delegate high in
the order admitted that there was
considerable dissatisfaction amo NO
the Western unions.

DENVER, Col, Dec. IL c. S. Thoms,
ex-Democratic national committee

terday: 81 am certain that there can
be no obstacle in the way of women
voting at all elections in this state. A
congressional election is a state cleo
ton. The United States government
has nothing to do with it and the
state has an absolute right to define
the qualifications of the people who
shall elect her congressman. The
same Interpretation applies to the
election of a president. In reality
the people do not vote for president
They vote for electors and women can
vote for these electors"
