Now Murphy is away down on the bottom of the Courier's list. We would suggest that the new federal officials be se- lected by ballot by democratic newspaper editors.

Says the Philadelphia Record An amusing story is told of West Walnut street young woman who, having read strange tales about slum ming in London, determined to visit PhiIadelphia's own very tough slum district and see what life lhere was like As a sort of prelim- mary she supplied herself with mum Der of tracts, having vague idea that the benighted residents there were in need of spiritual instruction Boarding @ Seventh street car she got off at Bain- bridge, and to the first man she saw, who was leaning idly against a lamppost, she very politely handed one of the tracts. He took it good naturedly, and after gldncing at it returned it with the smil- ing remark that he was married man. Greatly mysti6e3 by this expression she looked at the tract and saw that It was entitled, Abide with me " She took the next car home, vowIng vengance against tracts and stunning.

Spokane, Dec. 1.-THE Spokane cham
Der of commerce sent the following tele-
gram Tonight to Congressman Jones:
Believing that Teslin lake is the natu-
raj base of supplies for the relief of the
Klondyke miners, and that the Spokane
overland route is the most feasible and

transportation over that route TO Tes-

shortage is at Dawson. The Canadian
government has commissioner at DaW-

Gals there are proceeding with the cor

IF the shortage should continue it

Many experienced prospectors are

more time in debate and diplomatic
negotiations, but should take such inn
mediate action as may tend to end the
indiscriminate murder of the common
people of Cuba by the Spaniards. A
resolution was introduced declaring it
to be the sense of this convention that
Cuba should have absolute freedom.
A resolution favoring government
ownership of the telegraph lines of this
country was adopted. A resolution
protesting against anti-scalping legis-
lation by congress was adopted.
The vote on the Cuban resolution and
substitute which had been taken just
as the morning session had closed was
announced soon after the assembling
of the afternoon session. The vote
was 954 for and 1874 against laying the
Cuban matter on the table. The ques-
ton of the substitute offered by Mr..
Tobin declaring that Cuba should
have industrial freedom, from which it
will receive political freedom" was
then called for and brought before the
convention. The vote was taken and
the substitute was lost. G. III. War
ner made a motion reiterating the po-
sition taken at Cincinnati which was
voted on and carried and the Cuban
matter ended.
The Federation adopted a resolution
demanding an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States depriv-
ing the supreme court of the United
States and the supreme court OF states
of power to set aside laws made by the
people.
A resolution reported upon in regard
to affirming the positionof the federation
toward the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at Is to 1 was referred back
to the committee, the report stating
that the resolution was unnecessary, the
matter having been covered at previous
meetings.
The contest in Utah by the unions in
that state for the eonstitutionality OF
the eight-hour law was explained at
length by Mr.. Whitaker, and the rec
ommendation of the committee that the
federation help pay the expenses of the
fight and endorse an appeal from the
unions OF Utah for assistance was
adopted.
1t was ordered that a representative
be appointed to stay in Washington and
watch legislation, and the federation's
stand against the proposition of COM
pulsory arbitration was reiterated.

WILL INVESTIGATE.
Papers Filed Asking That the Sub-Port
ut Dyea he Abolished.

Tacoma. Dec. IA special to the
Ledger from Washington City says:
There has been no attempt to disturb the
conditions at Skaguay, but papers have
been filed asking that the SUPPORT at
Dyea be abolished. No action Will be ia
ken until the matter is thoroughly investi-
gated Through the efforts of Senator
Wilson the state and treasury depart
ments are corresponding with the Cana
dian authorities to bring about an adjust
ment satisfactory to all. II is believed
that in case the port at Dyea is abolished
the Canadians will retaliate when the
Americans reach the Canadian line and
that Americans in the end viii get the
worst of it. Senator Wilson says that as
the Canadians have to pass through our
territory, many of the latter will proba-
bly, remain and mine there; that any pol
Icy which will hamper one side will work
retaliation on the other, and the whole
matter must be adjusted by an agree
ment, which the officials are trying to
bring about. He thinks u satisfactory
conclusion will be reached and he will
not consent TO any action until the whole
matter can be investigated and results
reached for the best interests of Ameri-
can citizens.
