IN FAVOR or M'KINIEY.

Washington, May 14-The A. p. A.
convention to-day adopted a resolution
calling on the advisory board to submit
it's report not later than tomorrow
morning. The board, however, is not
likely to respond before Saturday. 1t
has been wrestling with the action of
its executive committee in boycotting
Mckinley, and the delay is understood
to be urged in order that it can in
the meantime break the full force of the
anticipated censure which that course is
likely to elicit.
The tenoer of the convention, it is
said, has been so pronounced in favor
of Mckinley that the committee has
given up hope of having it's action ap-
proved. The Investigations of the ad-
visory board thus far have demon
started to it's own satisfaction that the
executive committee acted in good
faith in putting out the boycott.
The committee had fortified itself
with mass of testimony which appar-
emily justified it's conclusions against
Mckinley, but the sentiment of the
convention is strongly opposed to in
ltl6lcIeilCt III lldllOlldl QOllllcS DGlOTS
the platform and nominations are
made.
Two OF the affidavits duly authenti-
Gated upon which the committee acted
were submitted this morning. In one
Joseph X. Pritner of Columbus, O.,
swore that Mckinley would not appoint
him laborer at the state house because
he was member OF the A. P. A., not
withstanding his G. A. r. and other
endorsements.
In the other, Alfred s. Wood of the
same city, related the interviews with
Governor Mckinley in 1894, when he
was attempting to secure pardon for
an A. P. a. man convicted of assaulting
q Roman Catholic. He swore that the
governor told him he (Mckinley) was
bound to cater to the Roman Catholic
church, although personally he had no
use for Roman Catholics but recogniz-
ed their church as the strongest and
most perfect political organization in
the country and that any party oppos-
ing it would be defeated.

ROOM FOR IMMIGRANTS
SENATOR GIBSON SPEAKS IN OPP0-
SI1ToN TO THE NEW BILL,

He Says That Texas Alone Can Find Room
for Hundred Million and Will Not Then
be Crowded-He Also Attacks the Ameri-
can Protective Association.
Washington, May 1A-Mr. Gibson.
DEM, Of Maryland, addressed the sem
ate in opposition to the bill establishing
additional regulations concerning i'm
migration to the United States. His
argument was that there was room In
the western states for all the immi-
grants that could come. Texas alone,
| he said. could find room for a hundred
million and then not be crowded so
much as European countries, or so
much as many of the northern states.
Many OF the states with scant popu-
lation would be. he said, glad to well
| come foreigners, either with or without
education, il they would only work.
The present laws were quite sufficient,
In his opinion, to prevent all the evils
OF immigration that are complained Of:
and he supported this opinion by quo-
tations from statements of labor union
| leaders.
| The promoters and advocates of the
| bill, Mr.. Gibson declared, were not the
honest farmers and workingmen Of the
country. The power behind the anti
immigration leagues of Boston was an
organization known as the American
Protective association-a secret, OATH
bound, red-lettered, left-handed, dark
| lantern organization, whose principle
was hatred to the Catholic church. The
bill itself had, for it's real purpose, hos
tility to the Catholic church-a pur-
pose of envy, hatred and malice. 1t
was the offspring Of a pestilential brood
Of mischief makers.
| Mr.. Nelson. rep, Of Minnesota,
| spoke on the opposite side Of the sub
ject. He had voted in committee for
| the bill, believing there should be some
restriction on immigration. He denied
that the bill was inspired by the A.
P. A., or by any feeling of oppposition
to the Catholic church. No action was
taken on the bill.
| The question of Mr.. Dupont's title tu
seat then came up again. While the
| discussion OF the case was suspended
some weeks ago it was with the uncer-
standing that it be taken up again af-
ter the passage Of the river and harbor
bill and that the final vote was to be
taken at o'clock Of the second day.
When Mr.. German, dem, Of Mary
land, referred to-day to that agreement
Mr.. Mitchell, rep! of Oregon, in charge
of the resolution seating Mr.. Dupont
assented, but added, suggestively, that
what the particular final vote would
be would be determined then.
| Mr. Platt argued in favor Of Mr.. Du-
points right.
When Mr.. Platt suspended his speech
until tomorrow the vice president an
nounced the appointment Of Senator
Gray, dem.. OF Delaware, and Senator
Sewell rep, of New Jersey, as members
of the board of visitors to West Point
military academy.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

A VEIL LAID PLAN.
Charles Jackson Seized His Child From
Her Mother.


Her Mother.
Providence, May 14.-Charles A. jack
son created stir to-day at the Union
passenger station by seizing his young
child while in the custody of the moth
er and running across Exchange place
with the boy to the Industrial Trust
building. 1t happened about o'clock
and was the result of a well laid plan
which had been concocted in a lawyer S
office on an upper floor of the building
into which the lad was taken.
Mr.. Jackson is an artist we'll known
in this city. He has recently had fall
ing out with his wife and their trouble
led to a separation. The six-year-old
boy remained in the custody of Mrs.
Jackson, but the husband wanted the
child and consulted with Attorneys
Ballou and Tower with view to get
ting possession. Papsrs were prepared
in a suit for the custody of the boy,
when it was learned that the mother
intended to leave town and it was nee
essary to take quicker action than the
law courts would afford.
Mr. Jackson will leave the boy with
his grandparents in Boston. He pro-
poses to bring a suit against a person
in this city for alienation of the affec-
tions of his wife.

Another Strike Threatened.

Biddeford, Me-, May 14.-The streets
of this city were crowded this evening
with operatives of the Pepperell, Laco-
MIA and York mills, and the one topic
of discussion was the proposed cut
down. Four different labor meetings
were held. The slashers and web draw
ers met in the Kelley club, and Laconia
in Hibernian hail. the weavers of the
York mills in St. Joseph's hall and the
Mechanics, taking in machinists and
web workers. Mill No. 2 of Pepperell
was shut down this noon, throwing out
spinners and fly trainers. The reason
given was surplus stock in that partic-
ular work. The card grinders are to
meet tomorrow to organize. At all the
meetings it was voted not to return un-
less at the old wages.

not sell at any price. He took out
several thousand dollars that month,
and now-well, now every one knows
that the Independence mine is worth
millions"
As I have said, Stratton offered to
sell out number of times during the
earlier days of the Independence, but
at this time there were none who had
enough faith to buy. Now it is said
that he is making such improvements
that he will in time be able to take
million dollars worth of gold out OF
the mine in single day, and that one
of his boasts is that he will soon ship
a carload of ore which will be worth
at least 100000. He has already
shipped s50.OOO worth of ore in o
day, and he is doing all he can to
keep from allowing the mine to pay

The Portland mine was once offered
to New York parties for 5000, 1000. But
the experts who were sent there re-
ported that there was only $37, 900

Workers refused the offer. The next
month the owners of the Portland
took out $40, 900, and since then it has

the name of the two women before
they were married, and they were the
daughters of Nathan French, who went
from New Hampshire to Maine, and
was among the earliest settlers in the
town of Montville. They were born
in that town, and there they grew to
womanhood. During their lives they
have never been outside of Waldo
County, the thr-e towns in which they
have lived being all within the limits
of that county. Palermo, Mrs. Woods's
home, is twenty miles from Belfast,
where Mrs. Belden lives, and the twins
frequently visit each other.
Mrs. Belden has been three times
married, having outlived two of her
husbands. She first married Timothy
Jackson, of Montville. When he died
she married Nehemiah Smith, whose
house was in Freedom, another small
town in Waldo County. Her present
husband is James Belden, a prosper
ous farmer of Palermo. She has three
living children, and has always en-.
ioyed good health.
Her sister, Mrs. Woods, is a widow,
and now lives in Belfast. Her hus-
band was Phineas Woods, of Freedom,
who died thirty years ago, and she
has had five children. OF these only
one is living, Kimball Woods, a.
prominent citizen of Belfast. Eighteen
years ago she went to live with her
son and has been there ever since.
The twins resembled each other
greatly in their girlhood, and many
amusing stories are told of mistakes
in their identity made by their friends.
Owing to illness Mrs. Woods has
grown slim and smaller than her sis
ter, who is in robust health.
