A curious case of house moving was recently witnessed in Oregon. A man who owned a residence in Seattle, which cost him s5,OOO to erect, removed to Olympia and did not have sufficient funds to build another house. He bought lot and concluded to remove the house he owned at Seattle. Every one laughed at him, but he persisted. Rolling the house down to the river, he loaded it on scow and it was soon at Olympia, a distance of about sixty miles. Then he had it rolled upon his lot, and, strange to say, not a timber was strained, nor even piece of furni- ture broken, although he had not re- moved the contents before starting the house upon its unusual journey.

TRACED BY HOUNDS.
The Trail of the AssassinS of
Edward DOty.

RICHMOND. Kv.. Dec. 9.-The assassina-
ton of Edward Doty at his farm near this
city is still the leading topic for discus
sion.
81 oodhounds taken to the place where
the crime was committed today, followed
the trail from there TO the cabin of Abra-
ham. Tom and Bill Taylor, half mile
distant, then trailed back to the place of
the killing. This was fair evidence and
the chase was abandoned.
Later in the day. Bill Taylor, the

stomach. Doty fell, but arose, when Tay-

make sure of his death he grabbed him by

through his head. He then escaped.
Taylors confession is sufficient for
Doty's friends and they are here in large
numbers from Madison and Girard coun-
ties to swing him up before daybreak.

IN LABOR'S INTEREST.
Plans of the Convention of. the
American Federation.
The Platform Will Be on the Lines
of the British Trades
Unions.

DENVER, Dec. 9.-Nearly all of the del.
egates have arrived to attend the conven-
ton of the American Federation of Labor,
which opens here at 10 O'Clock Tomorrow.
John Burns, NJ. p; Samuel GomDers,
presiden. of the federation; Richard
Holmes of England and T. j. Maguire ar
rived this morning.
Notwithstanding that the delegates TO
the coming convention all profess ignor-
ance as to the adoption by the delegates Of
a resolution favoring the free coinage OF
silver. it is very probable that such reso-
luton Will be introduced and that 1t Will
meet with very little opp sition.
On the question of immigration some
decided views are expected from the con-
vention. 1ney will probably be in the
shape of resolution asking Congress to
limit all foreign immigration to this coun-
try for number of years. but beyond
doubt the principal business to come be-
fore the delegates will be the adoption of a
political platform. AS basis for such
matter the following programme, made by
the different trades assemblies of Gre at
Britain has been recommended for cOnsid-
Grafton:
"Com pulsory education; direct legisla-
tl00; legal olgnl-nOur WORK uay Sdui-
tary inspection of workshops, mines and
homes; liability of employers for injury to
health, body or life; the abolition of the
sweating system; the municipal ownership
of streetcars and gas and electric plants
for public distribution of light. heat aud
power; the nation Aviation of telegraphs,
telephones, railroads and mines; the
principal of referendum in all legisla-
ton"
With the exception Of the clause refer
ring to the Government ownership of rail-
ways, telegraphs and telephones this plat
form will probably be favOrably received
and adopted without discussion.
The auditing committee, consisting OF
Joseph f. Valentine of San Francisco,
national vice-president of the Iron Mold
ers' Union; J. W. Quale of the Amalga-
mated Carpenters of Chicago, and Chris

On the morning of the 18th the enemy
commenced the attack, and General Tso
at the south gate and General Ma at the
west gate fought with so much spirit that
the enemy had to retreat, SO that the
Chinese Generals were induced to attempt
to take the heights which were pouring
their hail of bullets and shells into the
walls. The Manchu and Chinese cavalry
rushed TO the attack TO clear the base Of
the hills from the Japanese sharpsh Ooters
and retreating regiments, who had now

where Yeh and his companions had been
for two months neglecting every means of
defense of the city entrusted to him by the
Emperor.
The advanced corps. attacked on all
sides by superior numbers. was compelled
to retreat northwards. The Chinese had
to retreat in much shorter time Than it
had taken them to advance. General Yeh
suddenly found himself limited only to
within the walls of Pingyang. owing to his
willfulness and stupidity in calling back
all the battalions defending a fortified
village ten miles south of Plngyang which
was the key of the position and which
General Yang and two others had been
ordered by General Yang Tso Pao-
kuei TO bold at all cost until he could bring
his own men to re-enforce them. Before
ESQ could move General Yang was already
within the walls of Pingyang, and the
enemy, taking advantage of this was soon
ready to invest the city itself. Seeing his
mistake. Yeh refused to acknowledge his
error-that of calling Yang and his 5000
men back-and. as there was no written
Ir6of av ailabe, the order apparently having
been sent by word of mouth. General Yang

and executed, in sight of the army holding

of September. General Yeh's neglect
to fortify the heights. and especially
the failure to place strong body of men
TO hold the Pingyang Pass, ten miles
north of that city, to guard the retreat of
the army if necessary, had laced the city
at the mercy OF the enemy, whose ad-
vanced regiments could be observed 0ccu-
plying the heights. At the council of war
Generals Yeh and Chang advocated re-
treat TO Yichow, seconded by the Tartar
general of Kirin General Tso scorned the
idea and declared that retreat was impus-
sible, especially for Yeb, IS it was through
his neglect that the city was in such a
plight. The other generals advocated a
fight to the death. especially since retreat
was cut off at Pingyang Pass. If they sue
ceeded In beating off or capturing the
heights from the enemy they could then
drive the latter from Pingyang Pass, 9TH
erwise it was suicidal to talk of retreat.
Yeh and his companions seeing them
selves overruled by the rest kept silence,
and it was arranged that General TsO and
his division of $500 men should attack the
enemy in the direction of the south gate
General Ma Yu-k'un with 5000 men should
attack the enemy at the west gate, while
General Wei Jukuei and his insubordinate
division of some 1000 men were to act as
