WRECKED IN GOLDEN GATE.
The Schooner w. L. Eeebe Washed
Upon the Ocean Beach-Storm
on the Pacific.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec 10-The
Port Blakely 20 this port, while attempt
ing to pass in this morning, foundered in
the heavy sea that is breaking on the bar.
1t is believed that she lost her rudder
The vessel seemed suddenly to become I'M
manageable and was carried back over the
bar with the tide and was soon thrown by
the heavy swell upon the ocean beach at a
point three miles below the Cliff house.
At o'clock the vessel was rapidly go
ing to pieces in the breakers The crew
are in the rigging, and as the morning is
cold the drenched men must suffer Sc
yerely. Two life-Saving crews from the
ocean side house and Golden Gate park
are now on the scene, and will soon have
lines to the doomed vessel. 1t is prob
able all the crew will be saved. The
vessel, however, will be a total loss
The eight men forming the crew of the
schooner were rescued by the life-saving
crews at II o'clock and were taken to
the station near by to be cared for. The
men are all but exhausted.
A boat containing two fishermen was
overturned during the storm, throwing
botn men into the water. Both managed
TO crawl on top of the boat. One of
them made two attempts to swim ashore,
but had to give up and return to his COM
9anion. He became half crazy and legged
his companion for knife so that he could
end his sufferings, but his companion re-
fnSed. He then threw himself into the
water and was drowned. After clingiDc
to the boat for sixteen hours the dead
mans companion was rescued.

to this country as fraternal delegates from
the organized labor of England. Their APP
pearance was the signal for uproarious and
prolonged applause, the delegates rising
and continuing the enthusiastic greeting
for several moments. After quiet had been
restored welcomes were expressed in be-
half of the state of Colorado, the city of
Denver and the labor unions Of the munich
pality, and appropriate responses were
made by President Gompers and several of
the delegates
President Gompers named James Dun
can. X. II. Metcalf, Thomas j. Elderkin,

as a committee on credentials. Thomas
NJ. Patterson of Denver was introduced
and delivered an address on Labor
Rough, but Noble Struggle" One of the
changes in the situation from the past he
attributed to the increase of corporations
He said that while the individual en-
ployer might feel sympathy for his en-
ployes, the corporation could entertain
no such emotion. The action of the fed
eral government in he Pullman strike was
denounced as tyrannical The general
managers association; he said should
have been held responsible for the delays
of the mail. Capital, he said, controlled
the situation either by influencing cleo
tons or by purchasing the members of
national and state legislatures.
A vote of thanks was given Mir. Pat
terson at the conclusion of his address,
after which the convention adjourned I'M
til o'clock.
A big fight is imminent in the conven-
ton on the question IF adopting a po-
litical programme. At the last cOnven-
ton. held in Chicago in December of
1898, it was decided to submit to every
union in the federation political pro-
gramme to be voted upon during the
current year, each union being ordered
to instruct it's delegates to vote for or
against the adoption of this platform at
the present convention. A large number
of unions have instructed their delegates
to vote affirmatively, but the socialistic
element has arrayed itself against the
programme and under the leadership of
eX-President Strausser of the Cigar
makers National union, proposes to fight
it vigorously.
The programme claims to be based on
the political action of the trade unionists
of England, but the opposition claims
that this is bold Misrepresentation of
facts and contrary to the history of the
labor movement in Great Britain. The
Independent labor political platform is
as follows: Compulsory education; di-
rect legislation; legal eight hour work
day; sanitary inspection of workshop,
mine and home; liability of employers for
injury to life, health or body; the abolition
of contract system in all public
work. the abolitation of the sweat
ing system; the municipal owner
ship of street cars and gas and
electric plants for the public distribution
Of light heat and power; the nationalist
ton of telegraphs, telephones, railroads
and mines; the collective ownership by the
people of all means of production and
distribution; the principle of referendum
in all legislation.

Denver, COL, Dec. 10.-On the floor Of
the old chamber of commerce building at
Fourteenth and Lawrence streets, wherA

ions of dollars invested in trade and COM

were gathered this morning hundreds OF
representatives of the bone and sinew, the

They were the delegates to the four
teenth annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor and among them was
represented every trade and every industry
of the New World. 1t was an assemblage

PANIC IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
One Bank Closes Its Doors and Four
Large Firms Go to the
Wall.

ST. Johns, n f., Dec. 10.-The Com
mercial bank of Newfoundland, having
its quarters in this city, suspended pay
ment this morning owing to the failure of
several of the largest fish exporting houses
to respond to their liabilities to the bank
This has involved other banks, and has
crippled some of the largest concerns
here. Four of them have closed their
premises, and others will close tomorrow
The small deposltors are demanding
gold from the Union and Savings banks,
and the gold reserIfe is being steadily
drained. If they are able to meet the
run everything is safe. But the chief dan
ger is the difficulty in getting more gold
into the country.
At present the people are very peaceful
and seem unable to appreciate the gravity
of the situation. Business men of all
classes are trying to effect an arrange
ment with London bankers or with Ca
madam concerns to extend business to
this center.

GAVE BACK HIS MONEY.
Unique Method Adopted by the De-
fence in the MedoWcroft
Bank Case.

Chicago, H., Dec. 10.-The defense in
the trial of the Meadowcraft brothers,
charged with fraud in connection with the
failure of their bank, caused a sensation to-
day by the introduction of unique methods.
The first witness called for the defense was
John d. Collins, upon whose testimony an
Indictment against the defendants had been
returned. The attorneys for the defense
questioned Mr. Collins as to the amount
of his deposit and then publicly rendered
him that amount with interest. This,
they claimed, cleared their clients Of the
charge of embezzlement, declaring that
under the law embezzlement could not be
charged unless the money involved be lost
to the depositor The court took the mat
ter under advisement

WHO WATCHED your"
Remarkable Piece Of Evidence
Which Resulted in 81 Murderer
Conviction.

Remarkable Piece Of Evidence
Conviction.
In an interview today with Hon. NJ.
ii. Gossett of Kaufman the following
facts relating to Il rcmbkelaracmfwuyl
facts relating to a remarkable murder
case were obtained:
Some time prior to the 10th day of
August. 1887. Il m:n named Cokcr was
placed on trial in the criminal court OF
Henderson county. One of the princi-
pal witnesses against the fendi
was Tom Fulton, and it was upon his
evidence that the conviction was held.
Lee Cokcr. Il Q of the defendant. on
the evening after the trial remarked TO
Il young lady whom he met:
whit" my father is serving a term
in the ~penit"ntiary Tom Fulton will be
serving Il term in hell
On the night Of the 10th of August,
Il few days after. Tom Fulton. while
standing on his front gallery. was fired
upon by IN unknown assassin, Fulton
falling dead. The threat made by Lee
Coker TO the young lady led to his ar
rcst. Near F'ulton'S dead body were
found some pieces of newspaper which
had been used as gun Watlding. Cocker
WAS granted Il change of venue to Can
ton, Van Iandt county. Here two trials
were gwen him. both resulting in mis-
trials. On the 10th of April of this year
Coker was tried for the third time. and
Friday night a decision was reached.
fixing the penalty at life Imprisonment.
He was convicted wholly upon circum-
stantial evidence. The pieces of paper
found by the body proved to be Il copy
Of the Comanchc Chief. The pieces Of
paper found by the body and those
found in Cokcr's shot pouch when
placed together fit perfectly. and read
ing "crDsS Il part OF Talmage's sermon
was dcriphcred. which read as follows
WHO watched you last night: Who
has been good to you all your life?
Mcthinks the goodness of God would
convert this whole audience to repent
ancc."
On the other side of the paper was al
advertisement which read evenly. This
is the most remarkable feature of the
whole affair-the words uttered by DR..
Talmage seemed to apply so directly to
the murderer, who divided the words
by tearing the paper and using Il part
for Il gun wad, which was found beside
his victim.
Three sizes of shot We're cxtricated
from the body of the deceased. and
three sizes of shot We're found in
Cokcr's shot pouch. which compared
idcn;icaliy. The loaded barrel of Co
ker'S gun was also examined. and 1t
contained three sizes of shot, com;
pairing with the shot in the pouch and
those taken from the dead body. His
trial was set and continued ten times

Slang, Cant and Arxot.

Mr.. Hayward said that we must be
careful in dealing with Elizabethan
slang Eot to Judge it entirely by present
day standards; much of it is now rec
ognized English, while much OF our
modern slang was good E%lizabethan
English. The word slang is Of COM
paratively INC dern origin. The older
word, which slang" to some extent re-
places, is cant" the name given to the
secretla ngu;ge Of thieves, rogues and
vagabonds, introduced into England by
the gypsies in the reign of Henry VIII.
Harrison, in his description Of Elizabe-
than England. records that the first de-
wiser of 'Canting," or 'Peddler's
French" was hanged by the neck.
The cant" language was a strange
medley Of Hebrew, Latin, Sanskrit,
Greek. Wallachian, Spanish, Flemish,
Dutch. Celtic and bastard Italian. The
practice of such speech is worldwide.
We have the French "argot," the
Spanish "Gelnania," the Italian ger
