ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. So.-The con-
ference OF labor leaders which began
this morning had a busy day, and to-
night the end is in sight What the
conference has accomplished, IL any
thing, is in doubt. 1t is not believed the
leaders have attained any definite re-
suit and, in fact, the president OF one
of the national organizations said to-
night that the failure OF the conference
was foregone conclusion.
II should feel very much chagrined,"
said this gentleman, ''lf had any part
in the oonvening OF this conference"
The committee on resolutions and
plan OF action was at work all after
noon and evening, and tonight Mr..
Sovereign announced that they had
formulated n plan but declined to give
any details. The platform, 1t Is ex-
pected. will be submitted to the con-
vention tomorrow morning. The four
teen different organizations represent
ed In the convention make an unweildy
body and 1t is evident that all Of them
cannot be satisfied with platform
formulated by five men representing as
many branches or organized labor.
Mr.. Ratchford's plan OF petitionlng
President Mckinley to convene Con-
gress In extra session to enact meas
ures providing for the settlement OF the
present labor difficulties, or as he put
il, ito define the rights of citizens, II
any" did not meet with the approval
he had hoped for and II Is not believed
the idea will be incorporated in the
platform.
Although present in the convention
all day, Mr.. Debs did not speak, nor did
he put in an appearance at to-nights
mass meeting, where he was widely
advertised to make an address. He Is
represented on the resolutions commit
tee, however. by Mr.. Berger. and as he
has remained pretty close to the gentle
men composing that committee. 1t Is
safe TO say his Social Democracy
idea will be presented. 1t Is Thought
adjournment will be reached some time
Tomorrow.

well known deputy and has been ter
ror to moonshiners for years. The six

Louis Luetgert, II years old, the
bright faced SON OF the prisoner, was
called next. The boy had testified twice
previously, in the preliminary hearing

which caused the Ftate 10 regret that
he was a witness for the prosecution,
was that at midnight or later, long af-
ter the time when the murder occurred,
according 10 the theory OF the state, he
heard his mothers voice In the house.
The boy said he attended a circus on
the night OF May and returned to his
home at 1880 o'clock. There he found
his mother sitting in the kitchen read
ing. He told her what he had seen at
the circus, but his conversation with
his mother was interrupted by his
father, who came into the kitchen and
ordered him TO bed. Before he went to
sleep he heard his father descending

The defense refused to cross-examlne

OF deputies who are guarding the De-
Armitt coal mines. Twenty-slx negroes,
among them three women, were arrest
ed and brought to the Pittsburgh jail.
Other arrests are to follow when the
men who are charged with mlsdemeanor
can be located.
The county officials have for soma
time past been laying the ropes to. break
up the lawlessness OF this place and the
raid to-day was made on warrants Is
sued on the strength OF charges made
by detectives who have for two weeks
or more been living among the camp
ers, gathering evidence. The raid was a
systematic one and included all the
camps in the vicinity Of the big tunnel
OF the Pittsburgh, Bessemer and Lake
Erie railroad.

down. No resistance was made by the
negroes as they were taken so by sur
prise that no time was given them to
realize their position until the handcuffs
had them well secured. The shantle9
where the prisoners were taken from
were filthy In the extreme. A number OF
knives, razors and revolvers were found
but not as many as was expected, the
negroes having got wind OF the fact
that raid might be expected at any
time had disposed of most OF their guns,

Special Dispatch to the Intelllgeaes-.
sIsTERsvILLE, Aug. SO.-The news
Of one Of the worst oil fires this county
has ever seen reached here this evening
about 10 o'clock. The FIRE is on Middle
Island creek at a point between the

to the seaboard
The details OF the conflagration are
very meagre at this time. but It known
that thousands Of barrels OF oil have
been pumped into the break and that
there are acres OF fire in that section.
There Is great deal OF the burning
oil running down Middle Island creek,
and all OF the farm houses In the vicin-
ity Of the creek for several miles along
are In great danger. as well as q num-
ber which are close to the place where
the break occurred.
The officials OF the pipe line company
were notified OF the fire by wire. and all
OF the employees at the stations In the
immediate vicinity have been ordered
10 the scene OF the fire TO fight It and
try to get II under control.
So far there has been no report OF
any loss OF life.
The loss will amount to many thou
sands OF dollars. An operator from the
Wick station has started for the break
and as soon as he arrives there some
additional news In regard to the IRE
will probably be received.

As TO Additional Duty on Goods Coming
Through Canada - Senator Frye Says
Trloksry was Not Employed.
BOSTON, Aug. SO.-A special to the
Herald from Auburn. Maine, gives
Senator Frye's reply to charges made
by Senator w. Il, Chandler, recently
to the effect that the tarlft clause pro-
vldlng for n ton per cent. additional
duty on foreign manufactured goods
brought into the United States through
Canada was passed by q legislative
trick. Senator Frye says Senator
Chandler nB TO some OF his facts Is
mistaken and certain OF his lnBlnua-
tlons are not well founded.
"AB to facts" says Senator Frye, "a
serious and long continued attempt was
mnde to have tho senate finance COM
mittoe adopt and report TO the senate

secure report OF this amendment to

vOCated very earnestly before the con-
fcronCcs, but failed OF success, The at-
tempt was open; was advocated In the
presence OF several senators not OF the
committee ut different hearings and
preparations made for It's discussion IN
the senate"
Senator Frye continuing. referred TO
tho fact that Nil the tarlff laws for n
great many years have contained ten

Recommended that this provision bG
amended 30 that the free, az we'll nA

the per cent. bo reduced but did not
name the reduction Their purpose
was simply TO have the law In the best
possible condition whenever, II oyor,
the Congress should after full conHld-
Grafton, determine upon discriminating
duties"
IN conclusion, senator Frye said
"Of how this amendment was accurcd,
! know nothing, hut that II wnH n 'log-
lalntivc trick In tho playing 0f which
the conforoos were participants with
