THE A. E. OF L.

A Stormy Session Over the Credentials of
ers' Union.
CINCINNATI, Dec 16.-Notwithstand-
ing the assertion that politics would
not enter into the deliberations of the
Federation of La Dor, there was very
little except politics in yesterdays
session. The feature of the day was
the rejection of the credentials of
President Pomeroy. of the Chicago
Walters union. Last summer Pomeroy
issued a manifesto in favor of McKin-
ley. 1t was openly charged yesterday
that he had sold out to Hanna. Pom
eroy received only 19s votes out of g.
400 There was much jollfying over
the unseating of Pomeroy, as the vote
was an Endorsement of the previous ac-
tion of the general officers and the
executive council
Delegate White offered a resolution
reafirmlng the boycott on the Amer
lean Tobacco Co. which was referred.
The NJ ilwau<ee delegates reported
that the Schlitz Brewing Co. had ac-
..eded TO the scale of the Coopers' union
and that case was withdrawn from the
grievance committee
At night social session was held
with a banquet given by the Trades
union of Cincinnati.

DEATH BRINGS A PARDON.

A Kansas Defa1Iter Pardoned by Gov. Nor
rill Through sympathy for His Family.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 11.-Gov. Morrill,
last night granted pardon to James
L. Dick, the defaulting treasurer of
Ellsworth county, who was sent to the
penitentiary in 1895 for - years. Last
night at six o'clock the governor re-
ceived a tele rram from E. f. Yelling
ton, an attorney of Ellsworth, stating
that John Dick, only son of the pris-
oner, and the support of Mrs Dick. had
been badly hurt in a railroad accident,
and asked that the elder Dick be
pardonsd. The governor sent for
the application for pardon and protest
and began looking them over. At $50
another message came from Yelling
ton, announcing the death of the boy
and the prostration of the mother.
Gov. Morrill, looked no further He
pardoned the defaulter on the spot and
telegraphed Warden Bruce Lynch to
release him that he might catch the
train for home last night.

The Attorney-Gen eral and the Anthem List.
In connection with a vacancy which
has lately occurred in the Office of pre-
centor at Bristol cathedral a good
story comes to hand. A few years ago
an unfortunate dispute between the
precentor and the organist of the
cathedral eliminated in legal proceed
ings before the bishops commissarv
sitting ecclesiastical judge in the
chapter house. Sir Walter Philimore
appeared for the dean and chapter, and
Sir Richard Webster for the organist.
Needless to say that counsels fees
ranged high, running in the aggregate
into something not far short of four
figures. Sir Richard, in his modesty,
declined to robe in the deans vestry,
and retired for that purpose to the lay
clerks robing room. As he was adj
justing his wig before the looking
glass, his eye was caught by the an
them list for the week, which hung
from a peg on the wall. The anthem
for the day CHANGED to be ''How Dear
Are Thy Counsels!'' while the theme
for the second day of the trial was
"Oh! Where Shall Wisdom Be Found?''

FOR A NEW KANSAS.
Plan Said TO BE on Foot to Disorganixe .
Western CoantieA

Plan Said TO BE ON Foot to DisorganiEe .
Western Counties.
KANSAS CITY, No. Dec IA special
to the Times from Topeka, Kan. says:
Plans have about been completed and
a bill drawn to be introduced in the
next Kansas legislature providing for
the DISCRIMINATION of about 40 west
ern counties and the reorganization
into four big ones. West of the Goth me-
ridian in Kansas are the counties of
Cheyenne. Sherman, Wallace, Greeley,
Hamilton, Stanton. Morton, Rawlins,
Thomas, Logan, Wichita, Kearney,
Grant, Stevens, Decatur, Sheridan.
Cove, Scott, Finney. Haskell, Seward,
Norton, Graham, Trego, Ness, Hodg-
man, Ford, Lane, Gray. Clark, Phil
lips, Rocks. Ellis, Rush, Pawnee, Ed
wards, Kiowa and Com anche. These
50 counties comprise nearly one-haif
the area of the state, yet contain but Il
small fraction of its inhabitants. Little
of the land in this section of the state
is, in the opinion of the promoters of
the bill, desira BILE for farming, but all
of it is good any on earth for
grazing. The friends of the proposed
measure believe that the 30, 600 square
m lies of territory included in these
SO counties should be largely de-
voted to grazing, and that it will be
the necessary changes to accomplish
this result with the county organiza-
lions as they now are 1t is asserted
that the burden of supporting many of
the county organizations is greater
than the Taxpayers can bear, and for
this reason assistance is expected from
some of the sentatIveS of these
counties All of the charges which
have been made against Kansas are
based on the conditions in these
counties which it is proposed to
reorganize. Here the crop fail
ures have occurred and in this region
the spectators and land sharks have
most persistently operated. If these
lands were devoted to stock grazing,
the promoters of the bill assert that
the state of Kansas would take first
rank among the agricultural states of
the union. A special effort will there
fore be made to induce eastern Kansas
to support the scheme.

THE LAW INVALID.

A Supreme Court Decision Knocks Out
Missourrs MISUNDERSTANDING Law.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-In a decision rem
dered yesterday by the supreme court
at jefferson City, the pool room law of
1895 is declared unconstitutional and
and the state of Missouri is now with
out a race-betting law. The decision
was based on an appeal of Thomas
Walsh, of St. Louis, who was
sentenced to pay a fine of ST.
600 for conducting pool room
in this city. The effect of the decision
will be to reopen all pool rooms which
have been closed during the past two
years, and will also result in the aban.
donment of the two winter race tracks
here, as the owners declare they can
not compete with pool rooms

Their plan is to give the governor an

neon and the game resulted in a VIC
tory for the School Of Mines by a score
Of l6 to 2. Quite a crowd of spectators
viewed the game, which was snappy
from start to finish. The Mines boys
were greatly weakened, five of the reg
ular team watched the game from the
side lines on accoun of injuries receiv-
cd las Tuesday. and the substitutes
who took their places did not hold the
fierce bucks Of the Normals during the
first half. Capt. Roller played center
at first. but was soon forced to retire
with his sprained ankle. and Gleason
took his place. The Normals have quite
a heavy team and are all steady play
ers. In the first half the Normals fore
ed the Mines to a safety, thus scoring
two points. During the second half
they failed to score and the game end
ed 16 to 2 in Golden's favor.
