Unions That Are i'm Arrears Had
Better Paw Their Dues.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. AT to-day's
session of the International Typographical
Union ex-President Higgins of the local
typographical union delivered speech
on the per capita tax question, but it was
not received with favor. An amendment
was offered that the time of the meetings
be changed from the first Monday in Octo-
Der to the first Monday in September.
The principal argument in favor OF chang
ing the time was that the weather was
better in the northern cities, where the
majority OF the convention would be held.
This caused a heated debate, resulting in
the defeat of the amendment.
The next question of Importance was
that of changi the per capita tax accord
ing to the earnings of the men. 1t was
decided to leave the matter with the local
unions. The question as to the exposure
of those unions that were in arrears in the
mem bership dues was also argued. 1t was
decided to publish them in the journal.

IMPRISONED IN RUSSIA.
An American Citizen Now Makes a
Claim for indemnify.

WASHINGTON. Oct 9.-Nicholaso on Fred
erickson, claiming to be an American citi-
zen, who was seiZsd and imprisoned in
Russia and afterward made his escape,
called at the State Department to-day in
furtherance of a claim for indemnity for
illegal arrest. Frederickson asserts that
he was born on shipboard in Russian
waters of Swedish father and a half
breed EsQuimaux mother He resided in
Alaska when the Territory was acquired
by the United States, and SO became an
American citizen. He was at school in
Chicago during his boyhood, and returned
there during the Worlds Fair to work as
a machinist. At the time he took ont nat
uraliZation papers to meet refusal by the
authorities in Alaska 10 recognize his citi-
zenship. In Russia last winter he was ar
rested and imprisoned as deserter. Later
he was set free and kept under surveil-
lance. Again he was imprisoned, and this
time he managed TO escape and make his
way to New York. The impression con-
veyed by the mans story is that he is sui
fering from a case of mistaken identity.
He told his story to the State Department
officials, but as mere statement does not
meet the requirements he will have TO pre-
fer formal com plant before the depart
ment can act IN the matter of securing in
demnity for him.

FOR NAVAL MEN.
Three Big Places to Be
Filled.
WALKER HAS HIS PICK.
He Will Command the New
York Yard
UNLESS CARPENTER RESIGNS.
In Which Event He Will Hoist His
Flag Over the Asiatic
Squadron.
UNLESS CARPENTER RESIGNS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9-COnsiderable in
terest is manifested in naval circles in
regard 10 three important assignments.
These are the Naval Academy, the New
York Navy-yard and the South Atlantic
station. The four years term of Commo-
dore PhythIan as superintendent Of the
Naval Academy expired several weeks
ago. Rear-Admiral Walker was detached
from lie command of the Pacific station
in order to assume this duty. but for some
unknown reason his orders were revoked
soon after his arrival in WASHINGTON sew
eral weeks ago. and Commodore Phythian
is still on duty at the academy. Although
there is no doubt that the latter will be
relieved there Is considerable uncertainty
as to the officer who will take his place.
The only thing apparently settled is that
it will not be Admiral Walker. That off,
Ger recently endeavored to have the affairs
of the academy taken out of the super
vision of Admiral Ramsay. Chief of the
Navigation Bureau. failing in which he
requested to be relieved of the assignment.
Admiral Gherardi. commanding the
New York Navy-yard. will retire early
next month. This is one of the most i'm
portant commands in the navy, and the
gossips have it that it will be given to
Admiral Walker. but there may be Slip
up there for the reason that il may be
found necessary to detail that officer TO
the command Of the Asiatic station III the
event of the voluntary retirement of Com
modore Carpenter during the same month.
The third important naval assignment
referred TO is the command of the South
Atlantic station, which has been vacant
since the transfer of Commodore Kirkland
to the command of the European station
last month. Commodore Selfridge. Presi-
dent Of the Inspection Board, has been
offered this command, so it is said, but
shows no inclination TO accept il. Ii he is
ordered there, OF course he will have to
go or resign his position. but the matter
has not reached that point yet
1t is expected that all these matters will
be settled within the next few weeks.
Secretary Her bert denies that Assistant
Naval Constructor AoDson will join Com
modore Carpenters fleet in order TO OBJ
serve the method OF Japauese-C hinese
warfare.
The Secretary of the Navy has ORB
dered the monitor Miantonomoh out of
commission. With the mer gained by
this change the department will be
able TO put the Minneapolis in COM
mission. The Messrs. Cramp report that
she will be ready by the 10Th OF the month.
She will have a crew of 400 men. The de-
partment is now engaged in making up a
list of officers and men TO be assigned to
her. The three officers most prominently
mentioned for the command ct the Mime
apolis are Captains James O'Kane, Ii. B.
Robson and b. j. Cromwell. The general
consensus of opinion seems to be that Cap
tain Cromwell will obtain the assignment t.

compliment to the first administration OF
President Cleveland in these words:

vigor rose the great public business pros

residue of that administration as the nap

Cleveland was administering were the
laws made by the Republican party"
This sally was followed by prolonged
cheering.

we were then operating under the protec-
ton tariff law of 1888, and all that Presi-
dent Cleveland during his first term of
Office did was to execute laws and Repub-
liean processes. The reason we had pros
perity during those four years was that
the Democratic party was powerless to
change Republican purposes and Repub-
lican laws"

MUSSEL POISONING.
Singular Coincidence of Fatal Cases
Occurring the Same Day,


Occurring the Same Day.
Fort Ross, Oct. 9.-In regard to the
mussel poisoning which occurred the other
day the facts are as follows: A party OF
campers who werestopDing six miles north
OF here ate of musselS ON the morning of
the Sd inst. Eleven people comprised the
party and ten of them were soon taken
sick and one lady from San Francisco
died. The others were saved by promptly
taking emeticS.
The same day in the evening Albert
Gotche. an old resident of the coast. gath
cred mussels at place four miles distant
from where the first were taken. Although
warned by the neighbors and with a
knowledge OF what had happened in the
morning, he ana his wife partoOk of the
mussels Before they LEFT the table the
wife was taken sick and died few hours
afterward. GOtche IS yet quite sick and
may not recover. The papers announce
that on the same day party were poisoned
at BollDas In tho same way. The poison
did not seem to cause any pain. but caused
paralysis The first noticeable effect on
Mrs. Gotche was said to be that the lips
and tongue were psralyZed. 1t is fact
that mussels are probably eaten by some
one along the coast every day in the year
and cases of poisoning ara quite rare.
These men toned are the first fatal cases
in this neighborhood, Yet these several
cases occurred on the same day and at
places far apart. This strange coincidence
might give clew to the cause of mussel
poisoning. 1t has been an unusually hot
summer on the coast and possibly that Is
the cause.
