HAYWARD'S HOPE IS GONE
Supreme Court Denies Him a New
Trial-December 8 May be
the Fatal Day.

Minneapolis, MINI, Nov. 20.-The last
hope that remained to Harry Hayward
for his life was wrested from him when
the Supreme court this morning handed
down long opinion affirming the action
of the lower court in denying him new
trial. The court is unanimous in it's
opinion save in one finding as to the adj
instability of Mrs. Hazeltine's evidence,
as to which Chief Justice Start dissents.
The court finds no error in the conduct
of the trial and declares that the trial
judge was justified in excluding testi-
mony as to the sanity of Adry Hayward
while on the stand, when no foundation
had been laid as to his previous mental
condition. 1t was also proper to exclude
the evidence as to insanity in the family
under the circumstances, the distinction
being insanity as direct issue and col
lateral one affecting the competency of
witness. Harry Hayward turned pale
when the decision was announced to
him, but would say nothing more than:
cit was just what | expected. He is
apparently without hope. County At
torney Nye, to whom Gov. Clough has
referred the fixing of the date of execu-
ton. will name December as the date.

knights of Labor General assembly to-
day gave formal recognition to the finan-
Occur d'Alene mines for a trust fund.
At the time of the trouble in the mines a

the justice of the claim closes the contro-
versy and the money will now be paid to
the local assembly as fast as circum-
stances permit.
The assembly has elected j. A. Wright
workman. This office would have been
held by Mr.. Powderly had not he been
under suspension. Mr.. Wright is a veteran
member of the order, belonging to local

Grafton Presidency.
Chicago ILL.,, Nov. 21.-A letter re-
ceiyed in this city yesterday from a
prominent trade unionist in the East who
is very close to Samuel Gompers says
that the ex-president of the American
Federation OF Labor positively will be a
candidate against President John Me
Bride for the leadership of the organ
ization. Mr.. Gompers was defeated by
President Mcbride at the Denver con.
vention year ago. but at the Chicago
convention two years ago when Mr. Nc.
Bride was candidate for the first time,
and when he was present, not with.
standing the fact. that there were numer-
Gus Hobbies and deals between the oppo-
sition, Mr.. Gompers was elected by a
safe majority.
1t was the socialistic element which
threw Gompers down in Denver and
during the last few months the old-line
trades unionists have determined to set
tie for all time the question whether the
socialists and the ultra politicians shall
control the unions of the country, or
whether the federation shall depend Oh

Throw Blame for a Filibustering Expe-
ditiOn on the Captain.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 2O.-It is
probable that the government will not
push libel proceedings at present at least
against the Laurada, recently seized at
Charleston, S. c., as flibusterer. A
telegram has been received at the treas
ury department from the collector of
customs at Charleston stating that the
libel proceedings had been begun against
the Laurada by the New York owners
on the ground that her charter had been
forfeited by her captain by unlawfully
engaging in flibustering expeditions
against Cuba. There are several counts
in the complaint which seem to make
prima facie case against the officers Of
the vessel, and under these circumstances
it is likely that the government will sus-
pend further action until the proceedings
instituted by the owners have been de-
oido6
