STATE FEDERAT|0NS
Labor Conventions Have Been
Held in Many Eastern
States.
The Degradation of Laber in
Illinois Brings Forth a
Storm of Protest.

The past few weeks have
been busy ones among labor
organizations in the East
Three very important meetings
were in progress in as many
important states, and the ses.
sion of at least one of them was
m arked with a great spirit Of
freedom of speech.
-.". ILLINOIS.
The State Federation of La
Dor of Illinois was in session at
Decatur, the difference between
the president and secretary,
which at one time threatened
the life and good work of the
federation, having been ami
cably settled. Much of the time
of the session was taken up by
a discussion of the troubles at
Pana, and before adjournment
a committee was appointed to
wait upon Governor Tanner de
manding the immediate with
drawal of the state guns now
in the hands of negro miners at
Pana and other parts of the
state.
When one of the delegates
declared that the time had come
for the people to arm them
selves and protect their rights,
the convention applauded as
one man, and later when the
same delegate declared it as his
opinion that if it became neces-
sary an army of orkingmen
could be gathered who would
take the city of Pana and throw
it into the lake, together with
the negroes who had taken the
places of the white miners, he
met with apparently unani-
nous approval.
While the annual election of
officers was being held, James
Brennock, who was sent by the
convention to inquire into the
condition of the Pana miners,
entered the hall. He was ac-
companied by City Prosecutor
Morgan of Pana, and a member
of the Pana union of coal
miners.
Mr.. Brennock in making his
report said: ...: .a~
II was in Pana and witnessed
an actual state of warfare. Guns
were discharged in the prin-
cipal streets of the place and
bloodshed was averted only by
the cool and conservativeaction
>of the striking miners. A po-
llceman had arrested a negro
and was set upon by other ne
groes, who declared that the
man should not be taken to Jail.
The officer was finally COM
PEELED by the negroes to take
his prisoner to the office of the
coal company, where bonds
were furnished for him. When
the negroes first appeared they
had revolvers, but afterwards
they had Winchesters, and I am
reliably informed that the
weapons were the property of
the state of Illinois. When the
Winchesters were discharged
everybody rushed to his home
and secured his own weapon,
but calm counsel prevented
bloodshed. I was informed that
50 per cent of the citizens of
Pana were with the miners and
opposed to the introduction Of
the negroes in the mines. I rec
ommend that steps be taken to
deprive the negroes of the arms
which they are now carrying
and place a boycott on the coal
as long as there is a negro in
the Mines"

Pana was introduced, and made
a warm speech. He said:

"The situation is critical.
How to get out of it I dom t
know. If a cyclone would come
along and kill every negro or
every operatoh we would be out
Of it. 1t is time the citizens
took matters into their own
hands. There is no doubt that
some of those guns are the
property of the state. How did
they get into the hands of the
negroes? Who is responsible?
Our forefathers fought for our
liberty, and if we do not now
fight to retain it we are not
good American citizens. The
war of capital and labor is on,
and we must recognize it and
prepare to meet it. We want to
do things legally, but some
times it is necessary to do 9TH
erwise. What we want is a
union of unions. The laws of
the past were made for the cap
italists. We must make laws
for ourselves, and then we will
have them on our side"
The reader will perhaps Won
der how the negroes secured
the state arms. They got them
through the assistance of the
sheriff Of the county, who got
them on the plea that his "dep-
uties" needed them to protect
property. -
The election of officers re-
suited as follows: President.
Charles Dold, pianonrakers and
varnishers, Chicago, by accla-
matian; vice president, James
Boston, miners, Duquoin, by
acclanation; secretary-treas-
urer, John r. Holmes, carpen-
ters, Springfield.
,Danville was selected as the
place for holding the next meet
ing. The Bloomington Trades
Review was made the official
organ of the federation. The
convention adopted a resolution
denouncing any attempt to.
place compulsory arbitration
law on the statutes of Illinois.
A motion to thank the mayor
of Decatur for his treatment of
the delegates brought out such
a storm of objection and harsh
words that it was withdrawn.
Several of the delegates de-
clared that Mayor Taylor was
responsible for the fact that
Decatur miners were now work
ing for less than the union scale
and ten hours a day.
MICHIGAN.
The Michigan Federation of
Labor held it's first session Feb
ruary 19, 1889, in response to a
call issued by the Detroit Coun-
Gil of Trades and Labor Unions.
Since then it has steadily ad-
vanced both in numbers and
influence as. a conclusive evi-
dence of it's high purpose and
energetic worth. The plan of
the federation to centra1ize the
energies of organized labor SO
that there may be as little waste
as possible for the advancement
of the cause of labor and the
uplifting of society in general.
It has become a power in many
ways and accomplished much
that has been for the better
ment of humanity, not only in
dorsing recognized reforms, but
originating equally worthy
ones. The Australian ballot
the eight-hour day, the
alien law, the submission of
woman suffrage to the people,
labor day, the establishment of
the office of labor commissioner,
postal savings banks, and the
equity Of the labor of women
are but few of the many move,
ments it is allied with.

CORBfTT IS CROOKED
IF CHARGES MADE BY HERALD
ARE TRUE
HIS MONEY BET ON SHARKEY
The Ex-Champion's Backers Sent Or
ders to Their Western Friends
to Hedge Their Money
Associated Press Special Wire,

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The entire gath
ering of sporting men in this city, and the
number was large, spent, today discussing
last nights fight between Corbett and
Sharkey and the way in which it wound up.
There is much talk as to whether or not the
referee, Honest John" Kelly, had not ex-
ceeded his authority in calling all bets off,
those who bet on Sharkey feeling that they
should have received their reward, but the
general feeling among the public was that
while it might have been technical usur-
patton upon Kelly's part, he probably did
it ina desire to protect the public, and from
that point of view he was right. Many
of those who support boxing contests were
much disturbed as to the probable effect on
the attendance at future fights, and the
opinion was freely expressed that it would
put damper ON the sport for some time to
come.
McVey, whose entrance into the ring
caused the decision last night, was asked to-
day if he cared to make any statement in
regard to his part in the affair. He said:
"Corbett was fouled early in the fight by
Sharkey and l wished to call the referee 5
attention to the continued fouls. l ap-
preached the ropes for that purpose and sue
ceeded in attracting Kellys attention"
McVey refused to answer any questions
as to whether or not he knew it was agreed
for him to get into the ring while the fight
was going on.
Corbett said that the stories to the effect
that he and his friends had had hand in
the way the fight was ended, was absurd
Il had Sharkey on the rum" said Corbett,
"after the first three rounds, and l would
have had no trouble at all in putting him to
sleep"
The Herald tomorrow will print the fol.
lowing:
In the rage vented yesterday by the de-
votees of the sport there were few pleasant
words and those were all for honest John
Kelly, who, voicing the public belief that
James j. Corbett lost to Thomas Sharkey
| by pre-arranged foul, declared all bets off.
| But Kelly conld not give back or order re-
stored the S48S76 that was paid into the
pockets of the men who managed for the
! LenoX Athletic club Tuesday night, hence
the expressed regrets because of McVey's
untimely interference. 1t is now known that
men in New York who had been betting
their money on Corbett sent three kilograms
| westward. One went to Seattle, another
was sent to San Francisco and the third to
| Portland, Ore. Each telegram was to sup
porter of Corbett, and read:
Arrangements changed; hedge your
your money"
Thousands of dollars were sent to western
cities to be placed on Sharkey.
Corbett was seen at his home last night.
He did not look as if he had been in battle
with one of the heaviest men in the pupilistic
world, as there was not mark on him.
"Really, hardly know what to saw about
this affair."" he remarked. "No one is so de-.
pressed as am at the action of McVev
which lost me the fight. l have been half
daffy ever since Kelly gave the decision
against me. Cold chills have been running

RIOS QUESTIONS
Which Plainly Indicate an Intention
to Yield

NEW YORK, Nov. pa dispatch to the
World from Paris says:
That Spain has decided to yield to Amer
ican demands regarding the Philippines is
shown by the fact that twenty-four hours
after the so-caled ultimatum was delivered
it has asked for an explanation Of the effect
of surrender upon the comparatively minor
features of the negotiations.
Montero Rios, President of the Spanish
Commission. sent to President Day of the
American Commission at noon today re-
quest for the elucidation of the following
points:
First-Whether or not, if the Philippines
are ceded to the United States, that nation
will make them free of all existing rights
and obligations?
Second-Whether or not the American of
fer to give Spanish ships and goods the same
privileges in the Philippines as American
ships and goods is intended to cover vessels
and goods of other nations. in accordance
with the "open door" policy?
Third-Whether or not in return for the
release by Spain of prisoners charged with
political offenses, connected with the insur-
rection in Cuba and Porto Rico, the United
States will liberate the Spanish prisoners
held by the Togallos and the Cubans?
Fourth-What previous treaties referred
to in the American note are to be revived ?
Fifth-Where the United States desires to
land for cable statons-whether in the Span
ish colonies or on the peninsula?
Sixth-Whether OF not the American sug-
eestion that, if Spain should accept the prop
ositions, conferences on other points would
follow, meant that if the propositions were
not adopted the conference would not be
continued?
The World correspondent has authority
to say regarding the second question that,
while the United States will admit general
commerce free to the Philippines, Spain
alone will have the privilege of the inter-
coasting trade.
Concerning the fifth question, it may be
said with the utmost confidence that the
United States government has no intention
of asking for a cable station on the penin-
sula.
AS to the sixth question, the American
proposition does not mean that the con-
ferences would cease if the terms were not
agreed to.
The World correspondent hears that Mon
tero Rios, having sought the counsel of the
French Foreign Minister as to the wisdom of
trying by dilatory tactics to throw on the
Americans the responsibility for a rupture
of negotiations, has been strongly advised
not to take this course, but to yield to
Americas demands. Commissioner White
law Reid will give dinner on Thanksgiving
Day at the Hotel Continental to the Com
mission and staff

Made No Promises

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
The ministers deny that the Americans
have offered Spain equal privileges in the
Philippines. They declare, ON the contrary,
that the United States commissioners have
only offered to negotiate after a peace
treaty has been signed special CONNER
cial treaty with regard to Spanish COM
merce.
The Americans have demanded Young
island in the Caroline group as coaling and
cable station.
The Daily News, in an editorial referring
to the "open door" policy in the Philippines
and the constitutional difficulty it presents
to America, says:
"In the United States themselves opinion
Is sharply divided over the future of the
Philippines. Enthusiasm for American ex.
pansion will be considerably abated if II
means proportionate extension of the
Dingley tariff"

STOCK MEN PROTEST
Against the Dipping of Cattle in Cold
Weather

GUTHRIE, o. r., Nov. 23.-Great num-
bers of cattle, dipped according to the new
quarantine regulations, have died during the
recent cold spell in this part of Oklahoma.
Out of herd Of 500. dipped last week five
have died here in two days.
Cattlemen protest against dipping, and
declare that cattle cannot endure cold
weather after being dipped. The result will
be, they say, that practically no feeders will
be brought into Oklahoma this winter, un-
less the livestock sanitary board reinstates
the open season. Governor Barnes has
agreed to call meeting of the livestock SAN
itary board to consider complaints against
dipping. 1t is probable that the board will
suspend the dipping regulations during part
of December.
