Saluting So Many Girls.
DENVER, Col, Dec. 21-At o'clock a re-
ception was given Richmond P. Hobson in
the rotunda of the Brown Palace Hotel,
which was attended by not less than two
thousand people. There was no kissing.
The committee having the affair in charge
had decided that this feature of Lieutenant
Hobson's reception in the East should be
omitted here, and the gallant officer heart
lily seconded the decision. Arrangements
were made to prevent the success of any

thousand women were present to greet
Hobson not one offered to kiss him. AT
O'Clock he delivered his lecture at the Tabor
Opera House and at Gas boarded the Union
Pacific train for San Francisco.
When asked about recent newspaper
criticisms of his kissing experiences to-day
Lieutenant Hobson said: "All l have to say
about my trip is that it was one grand tri-
umph of enthusiasm. Everywhere I was
greeted with enthusiasm which only the
American people can display. 1 certainly

FOR BIMETALLISM.
Resolution Adopted by the Federation
of Labor just Before AdjOurning.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 21.--Most of the
delegates to the eighteenth annual conven-
ton of the American Federation of Labor
have left for their homes. One of the last
acts of the convention was the adoption, by
a practically unanimous vote, of the fol-
lowing resolution introduced by Max Nor
ris. of Denver:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this con-
vention that the action of this body In sub
shutting (for the resolution of John Kirby
concerning the gold Standard a resolution
reafflrming all the former declarations of
the American Federation of Labor relating
to the principle of bimetallism, does not in
any degree mean the abandonment of that
principle by the American Federation of
Labor, but means that it is so strongly in
trenched in the labor movement that it is
not necessary at this time to debate the
question
Mr. Morris explained that the reason he
presented the resolution was because some
local papers had grossly misrepresented the
attitude of the federation on this question.
and he wished to announce TO the public
how the labor movement stood on that mat
ter.

NOT FORCED TO ANSWER
DUNNING EXCUSED FROM GIVING
NAMES OF FEMALE FRIENDS.
Attorneys for Mrs. BOtI<in. However,
Persisted i'm Putting Disgusting
Questions to the Witness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21--The prosecu-
ton in the case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin,
charged with the murder of Mrs. John P.
Cunning and her sister, Mrs Deane, closed
its case to-day. John p. Dunnng, who has
been in charge of the sheriff for two days
for refusing to answer certain pointed ques-
tons put to him by the defense, was re-
leased from custody, the attorney for the
defense withdrawing the Objectionable
question. Mr.. Dunning was the principal
witness to-day. He was hauled over the
Goals by the attorneys for the defense, who
persisted in trying to introduce every dis
gushing detail of the case, in spite of the
protests of the witness. who clothed his
language as well as circumstances would
permit, but leaving no one in doubt to its
meaning; nevertheless. Mrs Botkin's attor-
neys persisted in asking pointed questions
and insisted on answers being given in alb
solutely unmistakable language-the lam
guage of the street. Cummings efforts to
save .the ears of his listeners met with the
appreciation of the more respectable of
those i'm the courtroom.
Carl Eisenschimmel, a writing expert,
was the first witness. His testimony was
necessarily of an expert nature and showed
almost conclusively that Mrs. Botkln was
the writer of the anonymous letters. the
addresses of the candy box and the writer
Of the note sent with the candy.
Dunnings testimony referred TO the let
ters he had received and written from and
to Mrs. Botlxin after he had left San Fran
cisco for Cuba, where he was a newspaper
man in the field. He explained that his
hostility toward Mrs. Botkin commenced
on his receipt of the news of the means
used in causing his wifes death. He said
that Mrs. Botkin was the first person he
thought of who would have committed the
crime. His other testimony referred TO his
relations with Mrs. Botkin. He exonerated
Mrs. Corbeilly and Mrs. Calimbcrg of any
wrongdoing in the case and told of their
friendly acts to him and his family.
Theodore Kytka. another writing expert,
was called and gave practically the same
testimony as his fellows. Ames and Essen

case. The defense will open tomorrow.

for several seconds. The women who sur

Hobson expected to kiss them, but each

there were some who would not be kissed by
Hobson under any circumstances, but these
were married women
