President Gompers Says There Can BE NC
Internal Troubles If Strike lis to Succeed.
Boston, February 6.-In an interview
after secret conference of the leaders OIL
the labor organizations this afternoon,
Samuel Gompers, president OF the "A.
f. of L.. said that unless the hostile fac-
tions Of the textile unions came to- some
agreement very quickly. the strike ;at New
Bedford would be of little avail. 1t is
for the purpose of harmonizing these
different unions and uniting them in
the interests of the strikers that Mr..
Gompers is now making an extended tour
of the textile centres. Tomorrow he will
start for Biddeford
present Samuel Ross,g secretary of the
National Mule Spinners, and number
of other labor leaders. Mr.. Glompers spoke
in a blunt and honest fashion and sug-
gested above all things that the different
union should get together and lay aside
all differences He said that he was sorry
that the success Of THE strike had been
threatened by such Antagonlsm, but he
believed that there was yet time to win
the fight. if only the differences were set
tied. At his suggestion commlttee was
anno,nted TO bring all the different
branches together He further SAID tnat
he did not think that the best work was
being NUT forward to help the strikers in
New Bedford aIld that until this WAS
done. the revolt against lower wages
world scarcely result in victory for
them. Later in the day MT. dompers
addressed the members OF the Central
Labor Union arid expressed his intention

Firemen in Boston.
Boston, February 6.-The past week
will undoubtedly go down into history as
one Of the most disastrous to life and
property that has ever been experienced
in eastern Massachusetts. Fire and storm
seem to have We'd with each other in
wiping out human life and the destruc-
tion of that which human hands have
raised. 1t is seldom that the daily press
has had to chronicle SO much suffering
and record SO large loss in-such short
space of time within such limited con-
fines Beginning with Sunday last, fires
in this city and in neighboring COM
munities have caused property loss OF
many thousands.
The fearful blizzard of Monday night
and Tuesday morning has already be-
come one Of the historic storms OF the
century. 1t was directly reponsible for
the death of 50 L.rdy seamen and the loss
of nearly a score of staunch vessels; 1t
paralyzed not only all telegraphic ana
telegraphic communications between this
city and the outside world, but set a
seal on steam, electric and horse railroads
and the. actual loss to the various COM
panies Of many thousands OF dollars,
and lastly it stopped business in all
cities within a radius Of 40 miles to
Boston. for many hours.
The coast about Gloucester seems to
have been the scene of a greater portion
of the wrecks. Over 80 men alone went
down in the terrible surges and dashed
to their death on the rocks at the entrance
to Gloucester harbor, while half dozen
swept from the decks of various craft
which were boarded by mountainous seas
in Massachusetts bay.
Six railroad accidents must, in meas
ure at least, be credited to i the storm,
and while most fortunately none Of them
resulted in death to those persons who
were involved, yet fully 100 will carry to
their graves the marks of tho injuries
they then received.
During the week crimes of nearly every
nature have been rampant, while suicide
by both sexes has prevailed to an un-
precedented extent.
Finally the week closed with terrible
death of six brave fremen and the injury
of four others, while at their post of duty
in this oity.
:. Never since its organization has the
Boston fire department met so severe a
loss, and today the heart of every mem
ber was heavy with grief.
Coming generations may see more
appalling disasters, both on land and
sea, but it seems safe to believe that it
will be many years before SO much
human suffering and SO much actual loss
is crowded into SO short space of time.

Domoka. Flight thousand Turkish troops
were engaged in the conflicts.
4 It is reported that in the neighborhood
of Palaeokstorn the Turks were repulsed.

of the Neutral Zone. The Greek outposts

The attention of the Senate this week
will in all probability be divided among
the Hawaiian annexation treaty, appro-
priation bills and the right of Hon. H.
W. Corbett to seat in the Senate FRY
Oregon. The treaty will probaDl,
the greater share Of .tStention Monday,
but after that time the committee on ap-
propriations will claim the time of the
Senate for the Indian appropriation bill,
which is expected will be reported early
in the week. This bill will provoke
considerable debate and by the time 1t is
disposed of the committee on appropria-
tions hope to have the Notifications bill
before the Senate. Senator Hear will at
the same time press the Corbett matter
upon the attention of the Senate as mat
ter of the highest privilege and several
speeches will be made upon 1t. 1t does
not appear probable, however. that vote
will be reached during the week on the
Corbett resolution.

NOT STARTLING PROGRAM.
Contested Election Gases Before the
House This Week.
CONTINUANCE OF POLITICAL
SPEECHES ANTICIPATED.

In the Senate the Bill Includes Hawaiian
Annexation. Appropriation Measures
and the Corbett Election Case-No Vote
Expected On the Latter.
Washington, February 6.-It is probable
that the programme Of the House, which
has been confined almost exclusively this
session to the consideration of appropria-
ton bills, will be varied this week with
the consideration of a contested election
case 1t is the purpose of the House lead
ers to keep the appropriation bills to the
front in order to obtain an early adjourn
ment. or as the alternative, throw the
responsibility of delay on the Senate. But
after the Notifications bill is disposed Of,
only one other appropriation bill is on the
calendar for the present, the military
academy, and it should not consume more
than few hours. 1t is the intention of
the leaders, therefore, to fill the hiatus
this week with the consideration of the
rom the fourth Alabama district. The
elections committee have divided on this
case on party lines ard the indications
are, therefore. that the House will do the
same thing and Mr.. Plowman will be-
unseated. The members Of both sides of
the House have been using the latitude
allowed in debate on appropriation bills
to make campaign speeches to be used
more or less extensively in the impending
congressional campaign this fall and
these are likely to continue Indefinitely.
All the members are keenly alive to op-
portunities to make political capital for
themselves or their party, and the fact
may at any time upset mpre- arranged pro-
grammes by plunging the House into
rancorous and acrimonious political dis
cussion. The Democrats and Populists
seem to be directing their assaults pripci-
pally against the Republican claim that
prosperity has returned to the country so
that all evidence on this point, pro or con,
is likely to find it's way sooner or later in
to the Congressional Record for distribu-
tion this fell.

Her TRIAL BEGINS
Accused of Causing Her Hus-

Lulu Johnston May BE Insane
Over Love.
DID SHE POISON OTHERS?

WICHITA. Kas.. Dec. 22.-The
trial OF Mrs. Lulu Johnston of Pond
Creek, Okla, ON a charge of husband
poisoning. is now on before Judge
McAtcc there.
Tie case has been delayed for sew
cral days, owing To great difficulty in
obtaining a jury. The selecting Of
the II began last Friday, and was
only ended yesterday.
There was a great mystery back OF
the ease, and very sensational devel-
opments are anticipated. The woman
had been married six times, and II
was the suspicious death of her last
husband that caused this trial.
1t now develops that three of her
husbands, who have died mysterious
", had their lives insured. In one
case she collected the life insurance,
and the state will try to prove that
she made away with them all to get
the insurance money.
Johnston. her last husband, had
his life insured for $1,000, but she
could not collect it because she was
arrested for his murder.
Several prominent Wichita attOr-
neys are engaged to defend Mrs
Johnston. They will make the plea
that she is insane on the subject OF
love.

with the number Of feet owned by

and the city engineer certainly will
not have time to do IL. This district
contains many blocks, and every foot

for by someone. II can't be the city

PARIS Dec. 22.-Don Carlos
movement to capture the Spanish

That there will be an almost i'm

any doubt. The war correspondents
of the great European papers he has

Don Carlos attempted to get an au-

his Holiness refused to grant it to
the Pretender.
His agents here declare that in a
short time he will pass through
France IN disguise and cross over the
border Into the Basque provinces OF
Spain and take personal command OF
his forces. 1t Il asserted that Carlos
has now at least 10000 followers I'M
