ALGER REFUSES TO OBEY.
Delays Providing for the Deep Water
Earbor at San Pedro-Hunt-
ington's Friend.

Washington, May ia good many
rumors are flying about concerning
prospective disturbance in the war de-
partment arising out of the San Pedro
harbOr affair. Secretary Alger has
stubbOrnly refused to follow the direc-
ton of congress in providing for the
expenditure of the $3,OOO,O00 appropri-
ated for the erection of breakWater
and the construction of a harbOr at
that place, and, it is said manifeStS too
much desire to shuttle and delay mat
tiers in the interest of c. P. Huntington.
The history of this fight between ri
val interests at San Pedro and Santa
Monica already has been gone over.
Now the statement is made openly
that Huntington and Alger have Joined
interests and that the latter is deter
mined that San Pedro shall not get the
$3OOO,OOO as congress originally intend
ed In addition to this it has leaked
out that Alger has vast lumber inter-
eStS in connection with HuntingtOn'S
roads in the west, which might event
ually suffer should San Pedro become
an important seaport, with steamship
line on the Pacific and the proposed
railroad connections from Salt Lake
City. A prominent Californian remark
ed today that Alger's interests were
scattered so broadcast throughout the
United States it would be difficult to
find an appropriation or act of con-
gress that did not affect them. Sen
atOr White intends to make an aggreS-
sive move in the matter at the first
opportunity, and proposes to keep up
the fight until Mr.. Alger is forced to
show his hand
1t is very doubtful if a similar in
stance could be found in the records of
congressional egislation-where a high
official of the government has deliber-
ately undertaken to subvert the action
of congress by an assumption of au-
thOrity based on technicalities that
find excuse only in a loose and fan
tastic construction of the law. Mr..
Alger is a law unto himself and Mr..
Huntington is presumed to be the in
SpiratiOn-in this particular case.

MINERS MUST BUY RIFLES.
Sensational Address of President
Boyce of the Western Federation.


Salt Lake City, May 13-President
BOyce of the Western Federation of
Miners urges the members of the or
ganizatiOn to arm themselves with the
latest improved rifles.
The fifth annual convention of the
Western Federation of Miners began
in this city today with 76 delegates in
attendance, representing Colorado, Cal
ifornia, Montana, Nevada, Idaho and
Utah.
Secretary of State Hammond deliv-
cred an address of welcome on behalf
of the state, which was responded 10
by President BOyce of the Federation.
He announced that the best thing-or
one of the best thingS-which the MEM
bers of the Federation can do is to arm,
and he urges that all members see that
ways and means are provided so that
every man can be furnished with the
tanned from the factory at nominal
price'' He adds: I entreat you to
take action on this important question,
so that in two years we can hear the
inspiring music of the martial tread of
%. 600 armed men in the ranks of la
Dor"
He further said: Corporations are
constantly reducing the wages of their
employees, fastening upon them a bond
age from which there is no escape. If
the latter object, they are easily sup
pressed by the courts of the country
the august tribunals that stand ever
ready to execute the will of their cor
porate masters, before whom labor has
no right that capital is bound to re-
spect or be shot down by those $13
a-month murderers that compose the
national guard
eugene V. Debs also spoke during the
proceedings of the convention.
