SOCIALISM DEFEATED.
Federation OF Labor Decides in
Opposition to 1t by Vote
of Over Four 20 One.
FIGHT AGAINST eoMPERs KILLED

Ey the Small Showing OF the Socialist
Politics-AttUrney barrow Talks to the
Delegates the Subject of the Work
ingmen and the Courts - Convention
May Adjourn Next Wednesday.
Kansas City, Dec. I9-The attempt
by the socialists to have the American
Federation of Labor adopt their plat
form and support their party failed.
A decisive vote was taken on the So
cialist party's resolution Saturday aft
ernoon, which resulted in their defeat,
the vote being 42G for and 1907 against
President Gompers made an earnest
speech against the adoption of the reso-
luton He said that tLe question in
vOlvcd the integrity of the whole labor
movement in this country. and added
that either trade union principles were
right. and the convention must declare
for them without frilIs or furbelows, or
they are wrong. and the adoption of the
theories suggested by the socialists
would be a confession that the prin-
cipIcs are wrCng.
Resolution That Was Adopted.
The resolution adopted is as follows:
we are committed against the indCrse-
ment or introduction of partisan poll
dices. We hold il to be the duty of
trades unienists to study and discuss
all questions that have any bearing up
on their industrial and political liberty,
but we declare that IL is not within the
province OF the American Federation of
Labor to designate TO which political
party 4 member shall belong or for
which political party he shallvote.'' The
vote against this was 42O and included
the whole socialistic strength. They had
been claiming $50 votes. and this show
ing illustrates any plan they may have
had to contest Gompers' reelection to
Me presidency.

copies of the protocols furnished the
Dominion government it is learned that

ciproeal mining regulations, the Canada
Alaska boundary dispute, restrictive
regulations for preserving the fisheries
Of the great lakes; the North Atlantic
fisheries question, and the bonding
question connected Herewith, the alien
labor law and reciprocity of trade. The

On THE Rio GUIANA, June 90, via
Kingston, Jamaica. June 81. - The
Spanish and American advance posts
are now almost close enough to see the
whites of each others eyes, and COLI
sion may occur at any moment.
The Cuban auxiliaries of the advance
force seem utterly worthless They sit
around all day and night. smoke cigar
cites and gorge on Uncle Sam S rations,
while the American soldiers, with empty
stomachs and no tobacco, build roads all
day under Il blazing sun and sleep on
their rifles under the sky at night.
Some officers believe it will be neces-
sary to lay Il regular siege to Santiago
and advance with line of earth works
until TIE rifle pits can be shelled with
shrap2el by the light artillery These
piecesnave an effective shrapnel range
of $500 yards, and the Mauser rifles in
the hands of the Spaniards are sighted
at 1000 yards and they kill at 2, 100
yards
However gratifying to the national
pride is the careless attitude of our en-
listed men, the grave fear remains that
they may need more severe lesson
than the ambush of the rough riders be-

of modern warfare. The road over
which the ordnance must be brought is
densely lined by underbrash. Every
yard is an artificial hedgerow, and the
road to the base of supplies is in SINH
lar state
But very little danger is apprehended
of a flank attack, as it is evident Gen
eral Linares is acting strictly on the de-
fensiye. Ghe failure of the Spanish
troops at Holguin, Manzanillo and
Guantanamo to effect junction with
him have left the Spanish commander
so weak that it would be an act of in
sanity upon his part to attempt to as
sumo the aggressive or to retreat.
The problem now confronting the
army is the transportation of supplies,
for the roads to the front are still i'm
passabie for wagons, but are being i'm
proved. In the meantime the pack
train is being used. The first of these
left Juragua last night and others left
today. The officers and men were COM
pletely out of rations yesterday. The
Seventh received half rations and to-
day they received nothing.
The boys are complaining bitterly,
but are pacified with the assurance that
the pack train will be here tonight.
Should a night attack occur our
soldiers would fare worse than did the
marines at Guantanamo, as the attack
ing force here would not be at the dis
advantage OF having to charge up hill.
The Spaniards are using brass sheathed
bullets, and the brass rips on touching
and tears the flesh horribly, while the
small brass splinters cause blood poison
ing. They are practically explosive
bullets and are used in the Remingtons.
They also cut a small cross through the
end of the Mauser bullet, 50 that it
mushrooms on striking with similar
result.
-Four batteries of American artillery
and Calling gun have been placed on
Q hill overlooking the basin in which
Santiago de Cuba lies.

A Popular LOan.

Present indications are that the
war loan will be entirely absorbed by
the small bidders, who were preferred
by the terms of the revenue law
as against the usual syndicate pur-
chasers. 1t has never been ques-
tionedethat this would be the case, for
Notwithstanding the comparatively
low rate of interest the circumstances
OF the loan are such as to appeal di-
rectly to the people regardless of the
size of their holdings. 1t was eminent
ly wise thus to restrict the issue by
reserving the usual order and giving
the preference to the small bidders.
This process greatly adds to the la
Dor of the government in distributing
the bonds and paying the interest,
but it insures closer relation be-
tween the people and the government
at time when the confidence of the
citizen is one of the most valuable as
sets of the administration. Aside
from this consideration, however the
plan of putting the bonds direct
ly into the hands OF the small capital
ist is desirable. BY this means the
interest payments, small in proportion
and in aggregate though they may be,
are sure to go where they will do the
most good. where the few dollars of
earnings are most keenly appreciated.
The farmer, the workingman, the
CLERK the small merchant and Others
in the same walks of life are now for
the first time in years within reach of
an investment that they can regard as
absolutely reliable. The demand in
every section for the necessary blank
applications and other surface signs
indicate that within few weeks the
government will be carrying on the
war with Spain literally with the
money of the people of the United
States, loaned in sums ranging from
$40 to $1,000. At the same time it is
gratifying TO note that there is no
lack of syndicate offers for the whole
loan or such portion as may be left af-
ter the individual buyers are provi-
ded. This fact absolutely insures
the success of the issue
