AS Mr.. Compers closed his remarks,
John Burns entered the hall and was
greeted with a storm of applause. He
took his seat at the left of the president,
the chair on the right being occupied by
David l.. Holmes, NJ. Il.
Thomas Patterson of Denver was intro
duced and delivered an address on "Labors
Rough but Noble Struggle" The speakers
delineations OF the industrial conditions Of
the past and present were received with
frequent applause. One of the changes in
the situation from the past he attributed
to the increase OF corporations. Ho said
that while the individual employer might
feel sympathy for his employees, the COR
poration could entertain no such emotion.
The action of the federal government In
the Pullman strike was denounced as
tyrannical. The general managers, he
said, should have been held responsible
for tho delays to the mails. Capital, he
said, controlled the situation either by in
fluencing elections or by purchasing the
members of the national and local legisla-
lures.
A vote Of thanks was given Mr.. Patter-
SON at tho conclusion of his address.
AS Viewed by Englishmen.
David Holmes, I'm an interview, said; II
flnd already in my hurried investigation
of the labor movement in America, that
the working people are very much behind
us OF Great Britain. What is worse, IL
appears that fatuous spirit of jealousy
exists amongst the leaders of many of
your trades organizations
''In England leader has the following
of the people he represents, and he knows
that they will stand by him throughout
the strongest conflict so long as he does
not forfeit their esteem. 1t seems to be
here more a scramble for position than for
principle.
"Our trades associations through years
Of struggle and honest work have acquired
high position where we arc recognized as
valuable aids to the country's prosperity.
II party feeling we're to creep into our
trades unions they would be broken up In
ayear."
Mr.. Burns, in talking OF the position the
trades organizations occupy in publio es-
timation, said; "It will DO one of the OBJ
iects of this convention at least TO see that
in tho free republic of America their
unions shall receive that social recogni-
ton and judicial and legal fair play that
they ought to have in land Of equal suf.
3rage.
ssTradcs unions in England do not re-
eeive that INSCRIPTIONS opposition which
appears in many quarters from American
monopolies"

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.- In cattle today's
receipts were estimated at 1,5O0 head,
making about $1,000 tor this week and
2S3,000 for this month. The receipts
last week were 61.95S, and for the cor
responding week last year 63.S $50. There
was the usual Saturday quiet. Nobody
seemed to stand in present need of any
more cattle, but most of the offerings
were taken, nevertheless. and at NOM
lnally steady prices. Natives were
quoted at Sl@6.25: Westerns, Sl.5O(0
$50; Texans, S1.25@3lO.
Hogs-The days arrival were esti-
mated at 11.000 head, making 90, 9O9 for
the week and 412.OO0 for the month.
Last week the receipts were 95,776. and
for the corresponding week last year
1333, ,OO7. The market had healthier
tone. Not only did good stock sell
stronger, but it was possible to get
slightly better PRICES for common lots.
There was fair Eastern demand. The
local packers were less bearlsh.
The sheep market is unchanged from
yesterday. Notwithstanding the de-
pressed condition OF the market, sheep
seem to be selling. as very few of this
weeks receipts remain unsold. The
weeks receipts were liberal, the last
day being about $500. OF these West.
ern sheep are in the majority. 1t is
impossible to predict with accuracy the
condition of the market for Monday, but
the prospects for the coming week are
none too favorable.

hogs. 11,000; sheep, $500.

SEVEN WE'RE DROWNED,
Awful Deed of Man Under the

Awful Deed of a Man Under the
Influence of Liquor.
CHAsKA, Minn., Sept. 29.-Mrs. Louis
Scharf and five children and her sister,
Miss Mary Roskus, were drowned in
the Minnesota river here this evening.
The drunken husband and father, who
was directly responsible for the fatality
which has wiped out the family, was
rescued, but is Still-toO much under the
influence Of liquor to realize what has
happened.
Scharf and his family had been visit.
ing the Chaska fair. and started home
about Z o'clock. They lived near
Shakopee and had to cross the river on
the ferry. Scharf was intoxicated and
was driving very fast. When within
one block of the river he was stopped by
J. Kunz. of the Kunz Oil company Of
Minneapolis. and was told to drive
slower, which he promised to do; but
no sooner was he released when he
whipped his horses furlously and
dashed down the river bank,
over the ferry and into the river. His
wife, five children and Miss Mary
Roskus and the team were drowned.
Scharf clung TO the wagon box and was
rescued. Search was at once begun for
the bodies, and those of Mrs. Scharf
and two OF the children have been re-
covered. Feeling here runs high
against Scharf, and he will undoubtedly
be placed under arrest.

SALTWATER, MIMI, Sept. 29.-Two
stone walls, mass of shoulder
ing ruins, and iron and machinery
twisted into all sorts OF shapes by the
intense heat are all that is left to re-
mind people of where the Saltwater
Manufacturing company's plant was
located prior to the contlagraton of
Friday night. 1t was the hottest fire
witnessed here for years. and the only
wonder is that the fire department and
citizens got 1t under control before the
entire north end of town was in ruins.
As nearly as can be learned. the fire
started in the shafting in the Saltwater
Manufacturing company'S building, and
In the twinkling of an eye the large
frame structure was cauldron of fire
from which flames leaped high into the
air and burning emberS were scattered

and in few moments had half dozen
streams playing on the flames. The
heat was so intense that it drove them
back. and soon the fire had crossed the
otSSt uhu lhc oloi oSC SuCu VI luO iiluIl-
ufacturing company was enveloped in
flames. Another desperate effort was
made to subdue the flames there, and
fortunately the wind died down and the
fire was kept from leaping to the Min
neSota Thresher cOmpany's shipping
shed and backing up to the street rail-
way power house. Several frame dwell
lings were standing west of the burning
factory, and they were iguited by the
heat and soon burned to the ground
with but one exception. The fire crawled
up over the bluff TO the residence of
Isaac Staples, the millionaire lumber
man, and several times fire caught in
the roof of the house, but was extin-
guished. AT the head of
The Prison Stairs
stood tenement house occupied by
Charles Jackson, and the flood of sparks
set fire to it and 1t burned like match.
II was an imposing sight while it lasted,
but the pillars supporting it were soon
burned away, and it crumbled into
ashes. The residences of Warden Wolfer
and Deputy Warden Lemon were in
imminent danger, and crews of trusty
cOnvicts worked like tigers to save
them, using the prison fire apparatus
and water works. These convicts Ger
tainly deserve great credit for the work
done. When the fire apparatus arrived
from st. Paul the flames were under
control. and Chief Joy decided that 1t

FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Sept. 25.-
Never was the prevailing indifference to
Republicanism better shown than In
this city today. The opening of the
Republican campaign had been adver-
tised in great shape. The afternoon
meeting hai Gen. Clapp and National
Committeeman R. e. Evans as speak
ers. A band was secured, but the crowd
was not large enough to fill one corner
OF the large hall where the meeting was
to be held. After some delay the meet
ing adjourned to Republican headquar-
tiers in an ordinary city store room, and
to the crowd, which not half filled the
room, distinguished orators poured forth
eloquence. The failure caused much
chagrin among Republicans, and an
other attempt at big meeting was
made tonight, which was somewhat of
an Improvement on the afternoons
fiasco. but still lacked greatly in en-
thusiasm of former years.
