NEW YORK, Oct. "a local
paper says: For the first time in
ten years the annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor
will be held in New York this year
beginning on December II. Pat
rick Mcbride, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
whose headquarters are at Column
bus, O., came east this week to
make arrangements for the con-
vention. He first went to
Rochester to find out the status of
the clothing strike there, as the
strikers are affiliated with the
United Garment workers, one of
the national organizations con-
nected with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. President Mcbride
will reach the city today and pre-
pare for the convention.
President Mcbride will not try
for a reelection and there is a
strong movement not alone here,
but all over the eastern states, to
re-elect Ex-President Samuel
Gompers. Two hundred delegates
will attend the convention repre-
senting over a million workmen.
1t was said last night that the
socialists, who had large share
in defeating Mr.. Gompers when
President Mcbride ran successful
ly against him, will try again to
defeat the election of GOmpers.
The entire trouble dates several
years back, when Mr.. Gompers,
while president of the organiza-
ton, refused to grant charter to
the Central Labor Federation, be-
cause it allowed the socialist labor
party to be represented.
Mr.. Gompers, at the convention,
will make an exhaustive report of
the results of the trip he has just
made through the industrial CEN
tiers of Europe as a delegate from
the federation. Speaking of the
relative conditions of the working
men here and in Europe, Mr..
Gompers said: "There is no
doubt that the American working
men are better off than those in
Europe. There is far more squalor
and poverty in London than. in
New York. Talk of the people be-
ing cOoped up in flats and tene-
ments here, you should see the
families of workingmen housed in
two rooms and sometimes in one
room in London. The working
men dress better here than in Lon
don, they eat better, live better
and as far as conditions are con-
cerned, are better off every way.
This does not refer to individual
cases; 1 am speaking of the aver
age condition"

SHALL WE ANNEX CUBA ?
Debate Before Union League Club
Upon This Subject.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-"Shall the
United States annex Cuba?" This
was the real question earnestly dis
cussed last night at the quarterly
dinner OF the Union League club,
under the formally announced SUBJ
ject, "Shall the policy of the United
States be to extend it's dominion
or not? The speakers were Azel F.
Hatch, in the Affirmative; Con-
gresham Edw. d. Cooke, in the
negative; Harry Rubens, in the
affirmative; and William Z. Ma
son, in the negative, The discus
sion took wide range, and the de-
STABILITY Of absorbing Canada,
Mexico and Hawaii was discussed,
but the matter dwelt on most ear
nestly was the annexation of Cuba,
which was Interestingly and learn
eddy handled by some Of the
speakers.
Mr.. Hatch was in favor Of extern
sion, in order that the market
might be enlarged. II Hawaii
wanted to raise the flag, the coun-
try ought to take advantage OF it.
The Nicaraguan canal should be
aided, and the United States should
become the envy of the world. Mr..
Cooke, on the other hand, spoke Of
the "lust for territorial GAIN" and
called it "a colossal crime" Social
and political reform, he thought,
should engage the attention OF
Americans. He took up Canada,
Mexico, Hawaii and Cuba, and to
the question, "Shall they be an
nexedw he returned an emphatic
"No." They should be aided in
maintaining Independent republic
can governments, but not annexed.
The meeting was largely attended
by representative citizens.

A Big Point Gained.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-German
leather makers have been obliged
to turn to America to learn the
latest developments in their trade
in order to keep pace in the COM
petition for business, and they are
making strenuous efforts to dis
cover the process OF manufacture
used in this country. United States
Consul Merritt shows this fact in
report to the state department.
The Germans learned at the Chi
cago exposition where the best and
cheapest leather in the world could
be had. German alum-tanned
leather has had its day, and Ger
man shoemakers who three years
ago would not look at American
glazed kid are now importing di.
rect, and are trying to discover the
secrets of its production, by send
ing experts to America and by try
ing to induce American workmen
to come to Germany. Agencies
for American leather are to be
found in every large European
CITY.

MEXICAN NEWS ITEMS.

shipments of Mexican dollars are
being made almost daily, to sup
ply the demand from China and
Japan, via San Francisco.
American prelates here to attend
the coronation fetes are the arch
bishops of Santa Fe and Cincinnati,
and the bishops of OgdenSburg,
Dallas, Charleston, Brownsville,
Natchez, Covington, Indian Terri
tory, Columbus, Springfield, Tue
son, Galveston, Nashville and Vim
cennes; also the archbishop of
Quebec.
The total expectations of Mexico
in the last fiscal year was $124, $780,
1853, divided as follows: United
States, $50, 543, 500; England, $780,
5000; France, $7,706,0O0; Ger
many, $6,474, 999; Spain, 1882
999; Belgium, $669, 900, and the re-
mainder to minor, countries.
Some interest is taken in the
state of Queretaro over the case of
school teacher who was dis
missed by an inspector for refusing
to use the "Ripallias catechism."
The Constitutional Reform club
will investigate the matter.
Some Spanish planters in the in
terror propose to raise a troop of
700 men to aid Gen. Campos in
Cuba and today the Spanish organ
here invited the enlistment of 200
volunteers to go to Havana, and
says that fund will be forthcom-
ing to maintain this force in the
field.
There is much excitement here
over the violation of the law for
bidding public religious. demon
strations, on the part of body of
two thousand pilgrims from Pueb-
la, who marched into the town of
Guadalupe with banners and car
rying large bronze crucifixes.
Priests accompanied them, wearing
their prohibited long black coats
and chanting litanles and religious
hymns. The procession was inter-
copied by Project Nelasquez on
horseback, accompanied by a squad
of cavalry, who demanded that the
pilgrims take off their religious
badges and furl their banners and
the priests take Off their clerical
coats. Father Yermo, a Spanish
priest of Puebla, who commanded
the procession, was arrested for an
infractioD of the reform laws and
fined $50 and admonished not to
repeat the offense. Project Nelas-
quez ordered gendarmes to stand
guard on the inside of the church
of Guadalupe, which measure was
protested against by Bishop Plan
carty, but without avail. The gen.
darmes entered the church, where
the priests requested they should
remove their hats, but Velasquez
ordered his men not to uncover
their heads. The liberals say this
is as much a public place as any
public theatre and nowhere in such
places do gendarmes take off their
hats, even in the presence of the
President of the republic.
The Mexican National wires are
again down in consequence of the
great storm in Northern Mexico.
The case of the Rowe brothers,

would record themselves against the third
term project. Did the Washington pre-
cedent control them? or were they remem-
bering the fate of their favorites at Gin
cinnati in 1876. when both had met de-
feat through the instrumentality of the
Grant and Conkling influence? At any
rate 1t was the Blaine and Sherman forces
that finally overthrow Mr.. Conkling, and
this led to the assertion at the time that
the practical politics of the day, and not
the presidential precedent set nearly a
hundred years before, had decided the
issue in the convention. Mr.. Conkling
and his followers never recanted, but, on
the other hand, had medal struck to
commemorate the COL test.
In discussing Mr.. Clevelaud's case in
the light of this history the politicians
note the difference that exist. General
Jackson was old and infrm when the close
of his second term approached. His
party was unit on public questions and
ms word. was law to every member of it.
Any man designated by him could have
been elected president Mr.. Cleveland is
not yet go years of age, and is in the
most robust heath. He is probably good
for ~ years more of active life. His
party as torn and divided as never before
since slavery days. Another nomination
Is suggested for him because of the belief
that he alone can hope to succeed. The
doctor, it is held, who has thrown the
party into fits must certainly be a special
list in the treatment of that disorder, and
must come forward now and cure the pa
tient. The bearing of the Grant episode
is thought to he less direct than it might
be Tor the reason that as strong man as
Mr.. Conkling always held that the con-
test at Chicago in 1880 was not decided
on the third-term issue, but by a success
full combination of the friends of the men
who had gone in defeat at Cincinnati
four years before.
s Meanwhile, with all the politicians busy
with the topic, burrowing in history and
developing many lines of so-cal3ed Thought,
Mr. Cleveland himself is preserving a
nineteenth-century silence that a sphinx
might envy. ''''>
