Is LEGALLY DEAD.

Frankfort, KY. Jan. 22.-James w.
TAFT. the defaulting ex-state treasurer
OF Kentucky who skipped II years ago
leaving a deficit of about $50, 600. is now
legally dead, If not actually so. There
has always been great deal of mystery
connected with Tate's disappearance,
and ii had been claimed that he was
alive in a foreign country enjoying the
proceeds Of his ill-gotten wealth.
The law in Kentucky is. however, that
after man has been missing for seven
years and nothing has been heard from
him during that time. he is legally dead.
and Ii was under this statute that hts
heirs decently brought suit against the
insurance companies to recover the in =
surance upon his life. The companies
fought the case bitterly until Friday,
when the attorneys for the Connecticut
Mutual Life appeared in court and paid
over $500 on the $4,000 policy which
Tate carried in their company. In so
doing they virtually admitted the death
of Tate. The other defendants. Il Ia
said, will follow the example of the Con-
necticut Life.

CONGRE ESSIONAL.
Senate Confirms the Nomination OF Mr.
McKenna for a Judgeship.

Senate Confirms the Nomination OF Mr..
Mckenna for Judgeship.
Washington. Jan. 22.-The senate de-
voted its principal attention In executive
session to the nomination of Attorney
General McKenna to be a justice OF the
supreme court OF the United States.
When the doors were closed the Ha-
waiian treaty was laid aside In order 10
afford opportunity 10 consider the Me-
kenna nomination arm other nomina-
tions. An effort was made TO secure the
confirmation of the nomination OF Cen
eral Longstreet to be commissioner OF
railroads, but Senator Vest made objec-
tion 20 immediate action and the nomin-
alton went over. Mr.. Vest did not state
his objections. beyond mentioning the
fact that they were not personal.
The nomination OF McKenna was then
taken up. Senator Allen contended that
Mr.. Mckenna was not competent TO dis
charge the duties OF justice. He read the
charges filed with the committee on ju-
dietary. The documents comprised
large number OF letters and the protest
OF lawyers and judges OF the Pacific
coast, charging that McKenna was un-
htted for the office on the ground OF
want of legal attainments.
lie was interrupted By Senator Perk-
ins of California, who read a published
defense OF Judge McKenna. giving sta
tistcs TO show that he had not, as
judge of the California federal court,
been more frequently reversed by su-
perior tribunals than had other judges
OF the same rank.
Mr.. Allen spoke for three hours. He
was convinced OF Mr. McKenna's unfit
ness for the office, he said. He did not in
sist upon a rollcall when the vote was
taken. and the vote was Overwhelmingly
favorable 10 confirmation.
There was a preliminary struggle i'm the
house yesterday over the bill for the re-
lief of the book publishing company OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, South. BY
shrewd maneuvering It's opponents sue
ceeded in preventing action. Mr.. Dal-
zell denounced the bill as an attempt to
loot the treasury. Twenty-Five years
ago, he said. this claim was presented to
the house and in q careful. exhaustive
and learned report by Mr.. Wilson, then
a member OF the house, the claim was
thrown out as unworthy of the attention
OF patriotic representatives sent here not
10 loot but to guard the treasury Previ-
Gus TO the consideration of this bill the
house passed the bill 10 extend the public
land laws OF the United States TO tho
territory OF Alaska, and TO grant gem
eral railroad right OF way through the
territory. The urgent deficiency bill
was sent to conference after the silver
forces had succeeded in concurrlng in
the senate amendment. striking from
the bill the provision requiring the de-
positors OF bullion at government assay
offices TO pay the cost of transportation
to the mints.

CASE OF THE
STRIKERS.
New Bedford Committee
Makes an Appeal.
REASON FOR RESISTANCE
Assistance Asked in Order to Carry
on the Struggle.
SMALL STRIKES AT FALL RIVER

New Bedford. Mass. Jan. s2,-The
and il is conceded by all who have care
fully followed 1t that "a settlement is
far off. The manufacturers have done
nothing, and they declare there Is no
change In the situation. The joint
strike committee. which met yesterday
afternoon, did not act on the fines is
sue which has been pushed into the
fight by the weavers. Instead. the
members manifested their disposition
TO keep up the strike by issuing the fol-
lowing appeal to the textile and other
workers of America:
Fellow workers, men and women:
Nine thousand cotton operatives in our
city are now on strike against a l0-per-
cent reduction OF wages. strike In
mid winter is a fearful and terrible
thing. but when 5000 men and women
quit work simultaneously in the face OF
hardship, suffering and privations. in
tensihed by the severity of winter. there
must be some good ground for such ac-
ton.
For the year just ended, 1897. the mills
concerned paid the following dividends:
Potomoska, 0: Dartmouth. 0; Whitman.
l l-2; Wamsutta, 6; Pierce, 6; GrinneD.
s; Halfway, 10; Acushnet, 10. The Po-
tomoska is an old mill. and during the
past year has made extensive changes
In machinery and motive power The
Dartmouth is new mill. having been
less than year in full operation. The
Whitman is also new mill and owes its
present unsatisfactory coalition TO the
dcfalcations of the men who We're finan-
cerng the mill. The remaining mills
have an acknowledged capital of S6,-
zoo, 600 and an average dividend for 1897
OF Z 6 percent
The only argument advanced by the
manufacturers thus far as To why they
wish To reduce wages has been that
the other New England manufacturers
have reduced wages. and they intend To
do the same" ard the only argument
advanced as to why we should accept
the reduction has been that the winter
is upon us and we would suffer severely
I'm case OF a strike" After considering
the circumstances the spinners by only
four dissenting votes and the weavers
by only five dissenting votes decided TO
strike. the remainder OF the organiZa-
tions taking similar unanimous action.
such action being heartily endorsed by
all organized workers. with the stated
results that 5000 men and women are
now idle. the greater portion OF which
Will have no other means OF support than
that which is received from outside
sources. on behalf OF the 5000 men and
women, who are fighting a battle not
only for themselves but for all American
textile workers. we make an appeal for
financial assistance, believing. hoping
and trusting. sincerely trusting, that our
appeal shall not be in vain.
Friday was payday at the South-end
mills. The weavers at the Acushnet
mill, who expected to find their pay af-
fected by fines, were happily surprised
They compared notes as they received
their envelopes. and not one was fined,
so far as could be learned. Consequently
the kick which they expected TO be
obliged TO make was rot forthcoming.
