The following resolutions were of.
fered by Edward l.. Hutchison. and, af-
ter much discussion, in which the Times
was roughly handled, they were adopt
ed almost unanimously:
Whereas, An alleged newspaper of
this city called the Los Angeles Times
has published an alleged report of the
proceedings of this convention, in which
report it has deliberately, maliciously,
and villainously lied concerning this
body as a convention and as indvidu-
ais; and,
Whereas, The said Los Angeles Times
has at all times utterly refused to pub
lish important proceedings of labor as
sociations; that when it has pretended
to publish the proceedings of such asso-
Citations it has deliberately and viciously
falsified; and,
Whereas, The said Los Angeles Times
often falls into the hands of innocent
people through no fault of their own;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we hereby express our
proforndest contempt for such con-
temptible sheet; that the said Los An

elected. He was received with great ap-
plause and called on for a speech. He
spoke only few minutes, but to the
point, and assured the audience that he
was no longer a Republican in this
campaign. The president then intro
duced the Hon. VIII ID. Gould, who held
the undivided attention of the large au
dience for 2 hours and 20 minutes.

HE SHOT HIMSELF.
And Then Told a Story About Being
Held Up in the Park.

1t developed yesterday morning that
J. E. Dold, the elderly German who was
fatally shot Monday evening in Elysian
park, fired the deadly bullet with his
own hand, and that the story he had
told of being held up by highwayman
and shot in a scuffie for the possession of
the robbers pistol was a baseless fab
rication.
Detective Hawley interviewed Dold
again in the morning Qnd finally induced
the old man to tell the truth. Dold said
he had fired the shot into his side dur
ing period of mental arrangement. He
had been out of work for some months,
had no money, and worried about his
wife and family at South Riverside. He
decided to end it all, took the revolver
out of his trunk, walked over into the
park and fired the shot, then threw the
weapon away. He is left handed and had
aimed to send the ball through his heart,
but shot little too low. The fact that
the gun was held in his left hand would
account for the course of the bullet,
dwnward and toward the right.
Yesterday the patient rested quite
comfortably and seemed much improv-
ed. DR.. Bryant calledNto see him several
times. Last evening an operation was
performed and the ball was cut from his
back. The doctor says he is hopeful his
patient may recover. Mrs. Dold has
been telepraghed for and will soon be
at her husbands bedside to look after
him during his illness.
II am just tired to DEATH" began Mrs.
Whimper.
Il am not surprised at ALL" said her
husband.
why should you be?" asked the lady,
tartly.

might be surprised at your continuing
to talk after you are dead, but 1 am

saAosrsEer's REPORT.
Business Has Not Yet Reached Expectations
But is Surely cemminq.

New York. Nov. 27.-Bradstreets to-
morrow, will say. Last weeks disap-
poinment at the lack of demand i'm gen.
eral lines continues, the Intervention
of holiday having made trade quieter
and the volume smaller At some points
of distribution there is no change in
the situation. The mild and unSeason-
able weather prevents a more active
distribution OF clothing and heavy
goods and the volume moving is
smaller. Where business has been more
active it is due to filling in orders and
a demand for holiday goods. Conf
dence in n revival of demand, which
has not yet appeared. was responsible
for the starting up of some mills and
factories which are dissatisfied with
their prospects. The most encourgainy
reports are of the improved tone of
trade and favorable outlook for 1897.
There have been heavier sales of wool
to manufacturers at firm prices. The
woolen mills have only fair orders for
spring delivery. Jobbers in textiles re-
port dry goods quieter. due to the holi-
day and jobbers, and are disappointed
in the months business but are look
ing ahead to an Improvement next
year. The better demand for shoes for
spring delivery has stimulated manu-
facturers to increase the output. The
request for lumber has fallen off.
Iron and steel manufacturers report
the demand not equal to expectations
and no Likelihood for an improvement
prior to the new year. Bessemer steel
remains firm at pool prices Billets for
export are off s. a ton. Rails dropped
heavily on the collapse of the pool. and
even Bessemer pig iron is shaded on
the decreased demand and ample sup
ply. Cotton ties are lower. the steel
rail pool not being decided as to quota
tions.
The larger number of changes in
prices of staples Were downward. this
week. petroleum. turpentine. hides. APP
pies. cotton and wheat being lower. in ad-
dition to the prices of metals. Tn
changed quotations are reported for wool.
print cloths. leather. pork. sugar and cof
fee. Leading cereals. wheat. corn ana
oats. respond with the advances as do
prices for lead. lard and tin.
The reaction in the demand which ap-
peared Immediately. after election: 10
gether with the intervention of the
Thanksgiving holiday. accounts for the
sharp reduction in bank clearings
throughout the country. the total for
which is $9io. 900, this week. nearly "A
