SLAIN WITH HIS OWN SWORD.

The following story in the Chicago
Record is about Henry D. Estabrook
now attorney for the Western Union
Telegraph Co. in Chicago:
There is venerable lawyer in Omaha
whose name is Baldwin and who is
crafty beyond his years, and his years
are many. There was a time when
Estabrook was counsel for the plaintiff
in case in which Judge Baldwin fig
ured as attorney for the defense. Esta-
brook had a good case and Baldwin
knew it, So Baldwin busted himself
with Estabrook's client and induced
the latter to settle out of court for a
minor sum; and, what was most inter-
esting, the settlement was made with
out any consultation with the plaintiffs
lawyer. The case still kept its place on
the docket, and in time was called for
trial. AS was usual in those days of
orations here and banquet speeches
there, Mr.. EstabroOk was not ready for
trial and told the court so, but there had
been delays before this time, and upon
Baldwin's insisting upon an immediate
hearing the matter was rushed into
court. Neither Estabrook's client nor
any of his expected witnesses were pres
ent, and it began to look as though one
excellent fee was about to escape him
through the cleverness of Baldwin
Then it was that the qualities of courage,
brilliancy and dash revealed themselves
in Mr.. Estabrook's composition.
Baldwin smiled cruelty across the

WAR REPORTS.

Last Thursday Admiral Sampson, con-
ceiving that the closing up of the mar.
row outlet of Santiago harbor would
be desirable in order to prevent night
attacks by torpedo boats and obviate
the necessity of keeping large force
in front of the harbor, decided to send
in one of his coal transports and sink
it crOsswise in the channel. Volunteers
were called for to perform this perilous
feat. Over four hundred responded.
From these seven were selected under
command OF Naval Constructor Rich
mond 2. Hobson. They took the coal
transport Merrimac into the harbor
under perfect hail of shot and shell
and sank it by means of an internal
torpedo after having anchored it across
the narrowest part of the channel. The
crew then gave themselves up to the
Spanish admiral who treated them
with marked consideration and showed
by his action that he is soldier and a
gentleman. A boat was sent under a
flag of truce to Admiral Sampson, com
municating the respects of the Spanish
admiral for the bravery displayed by
the Americans, and Offering to convey
to them changes of clothing and money.
An offer was also made to exchange
the prisoners for Spanish prisoners.

Attorney NJ. F. Conroy, of this city,
was the first speaker. He said the ele-
walton of labor began with the advent
of our Redeemer. His mission was to
give all people their rights, but espec-
tally the common people. Organized
labor had during recent years per-
formed a similar Office, had strived to
elevate and had elevated the laboring
people.
Labor's work to be everlasting should
not begin and end with itself. 1t
should have to do with education,
love, patriotism and humanity-all
these because labor affects every inter-
est of American humanity. That the
humanity of this country is composed
of so many parts, was shown, he said,
in making Cuba free.
Secretary White, of the
National Garment Workers associa-
ton, was then introduced and made a
thoughtful and interesting address.
G. Ben. Johnson in an Introductory
way had something to say about or
ganiZed female labor. He made the re-
ference in graceful manner and made
it a happy Introduction to his speech
He urged workingmen not to count on
the conversion of politicians and bus
mess men. He who would be free
must himself first strike the blow"
Mr.. Johnson reminded his hearers.
BY striking in unity victory would be
found TO come quickly. 1t is already
being felt by the United States su-
preme court, body not yet directly
petitioned by labor, and that court has
CHI &c Af
of a body OF nearly 1000, 900 laboring
men. The supreme court of Utah de-
cided an appeal in favor of that state
labor organization which ought to up
hold the S-hour law. The Utah courts
opinion was sustained by the supreme
court of the United States. it was
ruled that while a corporation could
not as such be imprisoned, it could
be made to pay the prescribed penalty
as far as it is physically possible.
That opinion if showed to legislators
at Harrisburg would get what new
legislation is needed along the S-hour
lines.
If the miners were organized here
now as they were from 1918 20 1875, Mr.
Johnson said, there would be no Latti-
mer. 1t is not only in labor's interest
TO organize the miner but it is in la
bor's power. Wherever labor organiz-
alton is best there the remuneration
is the highest and their peace is most
apparent.
1t has been stated here that you can
not trust the politician. You can trust
him-but every one of you must be a
politician" said Mr.. Johnson in con-
clusion.
