LABOR FORCES MEET.
Opposition to President GomDers Early
Manifested at Chicago.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Dec. 1.-THE thirteenth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor opened in the City
Council chamber to-day. Over ninety
delegates from all parts of the country
were present when President Sam
uel Gompers called the conven-
ton to order. There was APP
parent feeling among the
Western delegates that the honor of this
presidency OF the Organization, which
has remained in the East for several
wears, should he conferred on Il Western
leader, and gossip was current IN the
convention hall as to Il strong tight at
the time of the election OF officers.
delegate high in the order admitted
that there was considerable dissatisfac-
ton among the Western unions.
A parade had been planned for this
morning. but because OF the bad wealth
er the idea was abandoned and the del
egates marched from their headquar-
ters to the council chamber without dis
play.
Gov. Altgeld and Mayor Swift had
been invited to speak at the opening
session. but at the eleventh hour they
were informed that they would not be
permitted to address the delegates. The
reason given for the action was a
provision in the federation's con-
stitution prohibiting addresses by
men holding public positions. but
7. J. Mas, secretary of the Chicago
arrangements committee, intimated that
the affair had grown out Of the fight on
President Gompers. Gov. Altgeld was
not informed that his presence was not
desired until just before the convention
WAS called to order.
w. z. Pomeroy welcomed the dele
gates in a lengthy speech in which he
set forth the pitiable condition of many
| of Chicago's laboring men. Ten thou
sand hungry, homeless men will well
come your coming" said the speaker,
land will expect you to sound to the
nation the note OF alarm and will look
to you for aid in their present desperate
condition.
The opposition to MI Gompers began
| to make itself manifest this morning. The
| opposition is cndeavoring to coalesce on
| NJ. n. Madden. a prominent local
unionist, and one of the leaders of the
| Typographical Union. He has conslG-
eraDie popularity and recently won q
great victory at the state federation
convention at Galesburg over the
forces of GOV. Altgeld Gompers'
opponents claim that his popularity is
| on the wane, that he was compelled to
run three or four times before being
elected delegate to the present con-
vanton, although hitherto he has been
able to get sufficient votes on the first
ballot. Should Gompers be defeated,
which is not improbable, the headquar-
| tiers of the organization will be moved
from New York to Chicago.

HE MUST USE FORCE.
Only One Way In Which the President Can
Restore the Monarch.

AUCKLAND, N. a., Dec. 9.-Ihe steam
err Monowai arrived here to-day. ono
left Honolulu on November a. All was
ouiet there. The news that Presl-
dent Cleveland intended to restore
the Queen caused great ex-
element. It was discussed by excited
knots of people on the streets ana Was
generally condemned. A rumor was
published in the Honolulu papers that
the Queen was not willing to accept a
restoration unless she was assured OF
the armed support of the United states.
The Hawaiian Gazette OF November
"a saws: "In the meantime the mon
archy is not restored and Will not pe
unless by the armed forces OF tne
United States, whose forces must theh
continue to support the eA-'3ueen'
There may be small differences III
the ranks of the party reform, put
we are to-day more united and de-
termined on the main issue than
ever before Let every retormer put
aside all other and minor things. AS
sure as there is an Eternal justice over
ruling the affairs of men SO surely Will
the gross outrage proposed to be done
to Hawaii fail of its purpose"
LONDON, Dec. 9-Neither the foreign
Office nor the Hawaiian charge d'atfalrs
have any advices concerning Hawai-
from Auckland to-day. A representa-
tive of the Associated Press showed
United States Ambassador Bayard the
special dispatch to the Associated
Press from Auckland. Mr.. Bay
ard read it with great interest
and then said: president Cleveland
will deal with the weak HaWallans IN
the most magnanimous manner ana
will not force upon them a government
which they have had full chance to
discuss"
Regarding the dispatches published
in the Times and Standard to-day, lndl-
eating that President Cleveland is liable
to reverse his Hawaiian policy and that
new instructions to this effect have been
sent to Hawaii, adding that the whole
would be sent to Congress, Mi;
Bayard said: "There can be no reversal
of a policy based simply upon justice
and magnanimity. President Cleveland s
policy is one of non-interference; he
had no intention of entering the islands
and ~deposing the government. The
policy of the United States toward
Hawaii is not a selfish one. On
the contrary, President Cleveland's in
tention is that no advantage shall be
taken of the weakness of the Queens
party and that the Queen shall have a
full and fair chance to get on her feet 1t
possible. Hawaiian native authority
has been so enfeebled by late events L
hardly know whether the Hawaiians
can avail themselves of the offer Of the
President to restore the Queen to the
throne'
The Associated Press representative
at Liverpool has been informed that L,
H. Davis, the guardian of the Princess,
is now in Hawaii, and that the Princess
is on the continent. The latest news
received by a representative of Mr..
Davis in this country confirms the
special dispatch to the Associated Press
from Auckland, New Zealand.

A BOMB IN PARIS.
Internal Machine Thrown into the French
Chamber Of D4nutias.

PARIS, Dec ga dynamite bomb has
been exploded in the Chamber OF Dep
uties and it is said that Deputy LIE
Myres de Villers> Socialist deputy and
enc attendant were killed by the explo-
sion.
The bomb was thrown at 4 o'clock
c-.actly. Its explosion caused the ladies
in the gallery, which was we'll filled, to
become frantic. NJ. Burton Traibln,
newspaper man, who was en- the floor
of the chamber, was badly wounded in
the fore head.
1t appears that the chamber was in
session. Suddenly from the right gal
Ierv some sort of bomb was thrown
and Tell .fn the midst of the assembled
deputies, causing loud explosion.
A scene of the greatest confusion fol-
lowed. 1t is impossible to get exact de-
tails of the explosion at present, as the
police immediately after the explosion
i:lusel all the doors of the Chamber Of
Deputies and refused to allow anybody
to pass in or pass out until an lnvcstlga-
ton 'is,concluded.
5Etis still said that one of the deputies,
supposed to be Deputy LIE Mvres, and
one of the attendants were killed and
tiat,a number OF others were wounded.
One report has it that the deputy killed
was not lie Myres de VilIers but d So
'cialist deputy of a similar name.
The explosion and the conflicting re-
ports in circulation have caused the
greatest excitement throughout Paris
this afternoon, and full details are anx-
louEly awaited.
The floor and halls Of the Chamber Of
Deputies are still flied with excited
and frightened people and it seems i'm
possible to learn the extent of the dam
aye done, the police having drawn
q Gordon around the spot, and until they
see fit no details of the explosion viii
be allowed to reach the public There
are people who insist in spite of the an
nouncement of the police that nobody
was killed outright that two deputies
were killed on the spot and that many
were wounded. This report, however,
is not believed to be correct, though it
is believed that a number of deputies
were wounded. Among the wounded
deputies mentioned as being seriously
wounded is NJ. Dumas, deputy from
Allier
1t is said that the bomb seemed to be
flied with shoto or slugs and that when it
exploded these missiles were thrown
with the greatest force III all directions,
reaching even as high as the galleries.
1t is announced that the police have
made several arrests from among the
people in the galleries of the Chamber
of Deputies at the time of the explosion
One of the persons arrested is said to be
the one who threw the bomb
The president of the Chamber OF
Deputies, NJ. Dupuy, is reported to have
behaved with the most admirable cool
ness and courage, and is said to have
done everything possible to restore
order and to prevent spread of the
panic which seized upon everybody
present when the explosion took place

The African Expedition stranded Far
from Civilization.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Royal Geo
graphical Society has received news
from the expedition headed by the ex-
lplorer Aston Chanler, who is bound
for Mount kenia in order to
try and make the ascent of

miles north of the equator. and not
very far northeast of Mount kenia.
Mr.. 'Chanler was waiting for porters,
donkeys and goods to arrive from the

that the animals carrying the stores of
the expedition persisted from some
kind ,ot plague, and that on September
go last .Chanler had lost $50 donkeys
and 10 acamels.

SAYS HE IS NOT INSANE
Prendergast Demands That the Special
Plea Be Withdrawn

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. S.-Prendergast,
the assassin, made formal protest
against the plea of insanity being intro
duced in his case to-day.
When he was led into Judge
Bretano's court room he handed
his attorney, Mr.. Essex, letter in
which he asked that the insanity
plea be withdrawn, declaring that
he believed people will get an idea
that lie did not kill Carter Harri-
son for the benefit of the people at
large, but rather from personal or
selfish motive. Attorney Essex de-
the latter any consideration.

ter EXPIRES suddenly.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. u.-Justin
r. Whiting, representative from Michi-
gan, and Mrs. Whiting are receiving the
condolences of their friends over the loss
of their youngest daughter, Catherine. a
beautiful child 4 years old, whose death
was attended by very extraordinary cir
cumstances. All day Friday Catherine
was playing in the streets with her COM
panions, and when the nurse put her
to bed she seemed in the best 0 f health.
Shortly after midnight the household
was awakened by the screams of the
child, and when they rushed into her
room the little girl was sitting upright
in bed, her face a picture of terror and
emitting the most 1righttul sounds. Al
attempts to calm her proved fruitless,
congestion of the brain developed and
in short while the child was dead. 1t
is supposed that the child had a terrify-
ing dream which was SO vivid as to
frighten her to death.
