RESEMBLES THE vANDERBILTs.
No Trace of Churchill Strain in tho Heir
to Blenheim.

New York, Sept. pa London dis
patch to the World says that the infant
Marquis of Blandford and prospective
Duke of Marlborough is voted to be the
image of his mother by the half-dozen
relatives who have been privileged to
gaze upon him. The Churchill physiog-
nomy has for the first time in generations
been obliterated by the Vanderbilt strain.
w. X. Vanderbilt is joyous over the
prospect that the next duke will be
real chip Of the old Vanderbilt block
The young marquis thrives finely. The
World correspondent learns authorita-
lively that he consumes the regulation
quantity of diluted milk, which is sent
up twice daily by private messenger
from Blenheim palace. The COW which
nourishes the hope of the Churchills and
the Vanderbilts is carefully fed and
strictly isolated, to avoid all chance of
impurity in the milk.
The duchess is progressing satisfac-
torily, and inquiries are now confined to
her own and the dukes relatives
Mrs. Belmont sees the duchess every
day for short time, while Mr.. Wander
bilt is regularly informed by report of
the doctors after each visit.

A BLOW AT AGITATO2S.
Federation of Labor Declares Against
Wild Talk.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 24-One of
the most remarkable addresses ever is
sued in labor's cause was sent out of this
city tonight by the executive committee
of the American Federation of Labor.
which had met to discuss the coming labor
convention called to meet in Chicago on
Monday next.
1t is remarkable in that it declares en-
phatically against the proposed conven-
ton, on many grounds, and may be con-
strued as a blow direct at those particu-
larly offensive agitators who in times of
trouble assume labor leadership, to the
detriment of those whom they seduce into
following them. 1t also may be said to
mark the turning point in the policy to be
pursued in the management of struggles
between labor and capitalize be the be-
ginning of a new epoch in the history of
labor organizations. The conservatives
are in the saddle, and they have, in the
address sent out last night, warned the
radicals that their room is preferable to
their company. The address, in part, is
as follows:
We can see no need for the labor conven-
ton In Chicago next Monday. We advise
our unions not to be represented there The
money would cost tc send delegates had
better go to help the suffering miners and
their families. 1t is not by conventions with
irresponsible talk, infammatory declaration
and revolutionary buncOmbe that the cause
of labor can be advanced Violent appeals
to the passions of the multitude can serve
good purpose. 1t is only systematic or
ganiZation of the working people in trades
unions, with united hearts and united funds
and fraternity of purpose which knows no
bounds of creed color, nationality or poll
tics, that VIII url1ft the masses.

Gen. McNulta Makes Final Report
on Management Of Whisky

Chicago, H., Sept. 25.-Thc financial
report of Receiver McNulta of the whis-
ky trust was referred today by Judge
ShGwalter of the federal court to Special
Master in Chancery Patton for confrma-
ton. This practically ends the receiver
ship. The report covers the entire trans
actions of the receivership from January
2S, 1895, when the bill was filed in court,
to June 30 of this year.
The total receipts of Receiver McNulta
during that period were $50, 307 1926. OF
this amount So, 307 ,926 was from sale of
spirits and $9.SOG,W3U from sale of the
plants to the American Spirits company,
the successor of the old trust. The ex-
penditures were $25, pa 1873, of which
amount $9,757, $50 was paid to the gov
eminent for taxes on spirits, 0,394,o6l
credited to the American Spirits COM
pany in stock of the old trust paid in
the purchase of the plants and for cash
turned over to the same as pro rata on
stock held. Over $3,000,0OO rebates
were paid.

Housekeeping in Cuba.

For two days, in Prefecture Charco-
Azul, | was confined by the rains in
half ruined hovel which, hidden by the
surrounding bush. had escaped the de-
stroying hand of the soldiers. The cap
tain prefecto having narrowly escaped
capture, and coming there l joined him
in the half-ruined hovei already occupied
by a woman and her ten children. In
other days l had camped with Indians,
but they were much nearer to civiliza-
ton than this family of Cuban refugees.
There may be ample excuse for these peo-
pie being in rags, but | can see no reason
for their refusing to wash themselves
On the morning of my arrival a young
bull was killed. and chunks of meat cut
from it's carcass were roasted in the fire,
around which the children sat on their
lunches like so many apes, some half
covered with their rags, some naked, but
all alike covered with dirt.
They passed the day thus gathered
around the fire, roasting and eating the
meat, and if required to move, they gen
orally moved from size to side without
getting up, just as one may see the
Simians in Central park. | scolded them
literally for their Incidence and dirt.
They took my scolding in good humor,
and finally one of the girls raised enough
energy TO wash the three dishes pos
sessed by the household, and while l
scrapped up the debris covering the mud
floor she followed me with brush,
sweeping. r. Dawley, Jr., i'll

CAUSES SENSATION IN LONDN.
Russian Officials Cannot Understand
Britaln'S Action.

London, Sept 25.-A decided sensation
has been caused in diplomatic circles
here by Great Britain's notification to
the United States that she cannot par
ticipate in the sealing conference at
Washington if Russia and Japan take
part in it.
The officials of the British foreign of
fee decline to give the reasons for this
change of policy, but they admit that
the Marquis of Salisbury had notified the
United States ambassador. Col John
Hay. Of his decision in the matter,
though the premier's decision is not alb
Solute
The action of the Marquis of Salisbury
is al the more surprising in view of the
fact that he accepted for Great Britain
the invitation TO take part in the confer
ence with the full knowledge that Rus
STA and Japan were included in the in
TltaDOn.
1t is known that the Canadian govern
ment requested the withdrawal of Great
Britain from the sealing conference. and
the government unWillingly acceded to
this request in accordance with its policy
Of cultivating the friendship of the col
onles, even at the risk of offending other
powers concerned.
It is thought in diplomatic circles that
0anada's action in the premises was in
huenced by the fear that Great Britain
would be out-voted by the United States.
Russia and Japan, whose views regarding
the protection of seals coincide.
Great Britain has not notified Russia
or Japan of her intention not to take part
IN the conference and her notice to the
nlted States was sent too late for the
other three governments to change their
arrangements. Enquiries made at the
Russian embassy here show the officials
We're greatly surprised at Great Britains
withdrawal, and were disposed not to be-
Ileye the news when it was conveyed t0
them by representative of the Associat-
ed press. They said the British foreign
office, in the discussion of the arrange
ment for the conference had never even
intimated that dissatisfaction was eX-
perienced at Russia's participation in the
congress.
Apparently, the Russian officials add.
Great Britain realizes the impossibility
Of Russia and Japan Withdrawing from
the conference and leaving a clear field
for Great Britain and the United States.
Summing the matter up. it seems evil
dent that Great Britain has decided to
withdraw from further discussion of the
sealing question. She has not replied to
Secretary Sherman's dispatch on the sub
Ject and It is not expected that she will
make an answer to it,
The note of the secretary of state for
tne colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, to the
Marquis of Salisbury, giving the British
contentious, has not been communicated
10 the United States, as it was merely
a domestic public document, intended to
present the British arguments to the pub
lie, without continuing the debate with
the United States.
1t was only on Wednesday that the
Marquis of Salisbury notified the United
States ambassador that Great Britain
cnce if Russia and Japan participated in
il.

Turkish Army RatiOns.

Correspondents who accompanied the
Turkish army during the recent war with
Greece refer often to the dietary habits
of the Turks. Pilau, or pilaff, the ma
tional dish, receives great praise. 1t is
what we should call a chowder, composed
of lamb, rice, butter, almonds, raisins,
allspice, powdered mace cardamons,
cloves, saffron, onion, ginger, salt, whole
black pepper and dhjey. The butter end
onions are placed in the bottom of an
earthen pot; then a layer of rice, over
which are distributed more onions, raj
sins and almonds, sprinkled with saffron
in water; then a layer of meat, and so on
alternately until the vessel is filed But
ter is then poured over the whole, and
the cover or the pot is closed with paste
so that no steam may escape. 1t is placed
in an oven and cooked for three hours.

AVALANCHE IN CHILKOOT.
Eighteen Men Lose Their Lives
The Skaguay River Is a Rag
ing Torrent.

Port Townsend, Wash, Sept 24.-The
tug Pioneer, which left Puget sound
September II with the bark Shirley in
tow for Skaguay, returned at 1 o'clock
this morning, having made the run down
in ninety-six hours. The Pioneer brings
report of a landslide which occurred
near Sheep camp on the Chilkoor pass
last Sunday morning, in which eighteen
men are said to have lost their lives.
Only one body is said to have been re-
covered, that of man named Choynski,
a cousin of Joe Choynski, the prizefght-
or. The men supposed to have been
lost were packers OH the Dyea trail. The
officers of the Pioneer say that the story
was brought to Skaguay on Sunday even
ing by three men, who told it in such a
way as to leave no doubt as to its truth
fulness. They described the avalanche
as consisting of rocks, ice and dirt, which
had been loosened by the recent unprece-
denied hard rain which has been falling
continuously for the past month. All
the bridges on the Skaguay river have
been washed out and the river is a raging
torrent.

NO LABOR CONVENTION.
Plan to Have a Meeting in Chicago
Monday is Practically
Abandoned.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 24.-Secretary Kel-
liner of the Social Democracy said today
that the Social Democracy would take
no part in the proposed convention of
labor representatives which has been an
nounced to be held in Chicago Monday
in the interests of the striking coal
miners, and that word had been sent to
all its delegates to remain away.
''The partial settlement of the coal
miners strike rendered the convention
unnecessary" said Mr.. Kelliher today.
THE action of the Federation of labor
convention at Washington yesterday i'll
advising the annulling of the convention
because of the settlement of the strike
practically put quietus on the proposed
convention.
1.-THE United Mine workers, under
whose auspices the convention was to
have been held, have done nothing to-
ward making arrangements for the meet
ing. The Social Democracy is simply
following the lead of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in advising its delegates
to remain away"
1t is now practically certain that no at
tempt will be made to hold the conven-
ton.

Horses Run Away with an Engine-Boy
Instantly Killed.

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 25.-Fire originat-
ing in a woodshed in the rear of the
Musee theater on Yonge street last night
communicated to large warehouse adj
joining and to the theater. The actors
in the theater were preparing at the
time for a performance, and there was
a wild scramble to get out of the build
ing. The theater was badly damaged
by fire and smoke. A fire engine sta
toned at the corner of Adelaide and Vic
toria streets was left with the horses
hitched to it. a jet of steam shot out
of the safety valve of the engine, with a
loud explosion. This frightened the
horses and they ran away down the
street. The engine ran over BERTHE Es-
colt, IL years DID, killing him instantly
Seven firemen were so badly crushed be-
tween the engine and a wall that they
had to be removed in an ambulance to
the hospital. Half dozen citizens were
also more or less injured.
One or two of the injured may die;
the loss was slight
