time had come when some other means
than strikes must be employed for the
working classes. The Socalistic party,
he said is growing and would continue.
Delegate Gompers objected to the re-
port. He said he was surprised to hear
the Socialistic delegates speak as they
had on the floor of tho convention of the
Federation Of Labor. Treasurer John
3. Lennon also objected TO that part of
the report which reads: ''While drudg-
ing under the wage system to the polls. !"
He said he was not under the drudgery
rule and no other honest man was.
Delegate Pomeroy offered a substitute
for the report of the committee declar
ing that the failure of the Denver con-
ventiOn to adopt the twelve planks as
a political platform made it patent that
the Federation has no platform which can
be called political. The substitute elicit
cd a spirited debate and was adopted by
vote Of 1916 to 214.
That part of the presidents report
that referred to the mission Of trades
unions was taken up next. Delegate
Pomeroy offered a resolution regarding
the requirement of unions desiring adj
mission to the American Federation of
Labor. A report from the committee
on law, favoring an amendment to the
constitution providing that local unions
not affiliated with the national unions be
excluded from the central bodies. was

HER SUPREMACY GONE.
The Men at Belfast and Glasgow
Vote to Continue the -
Strike,

Glasgow, Dee. ]4.-The engineers by
ballot have rejected their employers
terms and therefore the strike in the
ship-building circles which was believed
to have been settled will now be con-
tinued.
Belfast, Dec. 1.-THE men who have
been out on strike here in the ship
building trades have rejected the terms
offered them by the employers, and which
were accepted on Wednesday last by
joint conference of the employers and
employees at Glasgow
The result of the balloting at Glasgow
caused great excitement here as well as
on the Clyde. The refusal of the Clyde
men to go to work is due to the fact that
shilling increase week as compared
with two shillings week increase which
it was agreed should be given to the
men on the Clyde.
London, Dec 1.-THE news received
here from Glasgow and Belfast today
that the great strike in the ship-building
trades is to continue has caused great
depression in stocks and in commercial
circles, for there is no doubt that the
supremacy of Great Britain in ship
building is threatened and large con-
tracts for foreign warships will, unless
there is a change for the better very
shortly, go to Germany and other coun-
tres.
1t is believed, however that the en-
ployers will have to yield in the end, as
pressure is being brought to bear upon
them by the government, in view of the
delay in completing work for the British
admiralty

SAYS "SILLY SEASON"IS ON
How Ambassador Rayard Accounts.
for the Attacks Made
Upon Him.

London, Dec. 14.-The long dispatches
from New York on the Bayard incident
have revived interest in the speeches
at Boston, Eng, and Edinburgh. Mr..
Bayard, however, treats the whole mat
ter lightly and said to friend recently
that he regarded it as the result of the
''silly season" in America.
The Saturday Review says: "In its
whole history the republic has sent us
no representative better qualified to chal
lenge comparison with the old world
diplomatists. The suggestion that parti
san rancor could descend to the level
of endangering his tenure is painful to-
contemplate"
The Saturday Review article says,
eddy guilty of indiscretion, but it was
only an error of judgment. To under
stand the feelings of the Americans we
must imagine Sir Julian Pauncefote lect-
uring in Philadelphia on the principle
of local autonomy and advocating home
rule"
The weekly newspapers also devote
considerable space to the alleged I'M
friendly attitude of the United States
respecting Venezuela and the Behring
sea questions.
The National Observer confirms the
elusive dispatch to the Associated
press of December 4 saying the Marquis
! OF SALISBURY mas refused 10 anOW Eng
lands claim to Venezuelan territory
within the Schombeurk line to be ques-
toned and adds: 1T is taken for grant
ed that President Cleveland does not in
tend to press the whole claim implied in
his message But if the words have the
meaning which we should attach to any
other ruler the conflict of views is very
serious, and it seems that an open quar-
rel can hardly be avoided except by the
surrender Of one side. For the United
States a withdrawal would be a very
serious defeat"
The article quoted above also discusses,
Senator Morgan and the general I'M
friendliness Of the United States and
England. the disposition given in yam
kee buster and concludes with ''dis-
tinct warning" 20 america that "she
stands on the same footing as other
powers. Persistent unfriendliness should
be met in the same spirit and might have
wholesome influence in clearing the

Thurman's Home Life.
Mr.. Thurman always avoided ostenta-
ton in his mode of living and thought
more of quiet comfort than of show.
He had long enjoyed the reputation of
being enc of the most thorough scholars
in public life. Always student, he
became early in life u great lawyer, and
later on devoted much time to lighter
study He became Il fine French schol-
ar, his favorite books being the works
of the earlier French dramatists, which
he read in the original. He had an I'M
usually large and well-selected library,
and there are few books IN the range
of polite literature that he was not famil-
lar with. He had a literal genius for
mathematics, and frequently occupied
himself in working out the most abb
struse and intricate problems. He was
prouder of his knowledge of mathematics
than of anything else.

a lawyer and business man whose voice
is often heard in political conventions.
He has political convictions of his own
and does not depend upon the fathers
name for standing among men.
Judge Thurman is a rich man. The
estate of his wife has been well managed
and greatly increased. The Thurman
family has always been among the most
aristocratic in the state, and the younger
generation is prominent in the social

graphs this afternoon that he is in
position to state that NJ. Faurc, Presi-

fresh family scandal has been I'M
earthed in connection with the Presi-

says: Daily, hundreds of newspapers

them which does not distil the venom

The Pail Mall Gazette intimates that

Columbus, o., Dec 12-AlIen G.
Thurman died at 1:15 p. M. The death

the general public here. The latest re-

that it occurred at 1:15 D. m.
Judge Thurman had been growing rap
idly worse since last night, and at no
time during the past few hours has his
