NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Samuel Com
pers, President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, has been in this city for
two days to get the unions Of this city
to enter into a great movement for an
eight-hour day. According TO the pres
ent plans of labor leaders. a demand for

1st next that will involve fully a mill

Labor will make this demand in one
trade at time, and according to the
leaders great strikes are expected be-
for the battle likely to follow is de-
cided
Previous attempts to force the large
employers to grant the eight-hour work
day have been unsuccessful. The sue
cess of the recent strike of miners, in
which more than 200,0 900 took part, has
encouraged the American Federation to
prepare for undertaking a tremendous
fight. The leaders are now perfecting
a plan which they believe will insure
success. MIR. Gompers intends to con-
fine his work on May 1st to interesting

EIGHTEEN BODIES ALREADY

The List Of Missing Swe1led to 35,

PITTSBTRG (Pa), Feb 12-The re-

nearly all of which were found in the

added the following missing reported

BARON HlcgEY'S DEATH.
FLAGLER DOES NOT BELIEVE
HE SUICIDED.
Thinks He Took an Overdose of
Chloral While Seeking Relief
From Insomnia.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. ii II. Flagler,
the Standard Oil magnate. and father
in-law of Baron Hardin Hickey. who
died at El Paso Wednesday night. will
leave here tonight for San Francisco
to join his daughter, widow of the
Baron.
Discussing the death of his son-in-
law, he said: "A gentleman we'll known
here, whose name 1 cannot divulge, has
just returned from Ell Paso. He assures
me that Baron Hickey did not commit
suicide Personally, do not believe
he meant to take his life.
He was a man of highly wrought
nervous organization, and for years had
sought relief from insomnia in the use
of narcotics. He was an habitual user
of choral in various forms. L believe
he took an overdose. 1t appears from
statements made to me that he took
some of the drug without effect, and
later took another dose. The corbna-
ton was fatal. He had been troubled
with heart affection for years, and
could not live in high attitudes His
heart weakness may have aided in
causing death.
Hickey was a man of cheerful ma
ture, and had all anybody could desire
plenty of money and good home.
Financial reverses which might have
caused d dependency overlook him.
After the Baron's death there was
found among his effects a letter ad-
dressed to his wife. in which it has
been alleged was this expression: Il
prefer to be a dead gentlems-4 than a
living biackguard like your father.
Good by"
The reI orter asked Mr.. Flagler about
his letter.
II have no personal knowledge that
he left such communication he said
with dignity. I was a good friend to
the Baron. and was ready to go to his
assistance. If he left letters tending 10
show that he was depressed, that in
itself will be no sign that he took his
life. Among other eccentricities he had

CHEAP ENOUGH.

We are engaged now in figuring up the cost of the war and some of the items in the account do not seem to represent value received. But there will be no disposition to question the figures which show the cost of shooting the ships of Admiral Montojo and Ad- miral Cervera to pieces. Admiral Dewey used up ammunition worth barely s45OO0 in sinking Montojo's ships and bombarding the shore batteries at Cavite. Sampson and Schley expended shot and shell worth less than $100,000 in destroying Cervera's squadron. Thus the total expense for ammunition in the two great naval actions of the war can hardly exceed $1500oO, though returns from one or two vessels that played minor parts in these engagements are yet to be made. Deweys sailors fired 5,6S1 shots, the largest of which were only 157 of these. Sampson's men used 7.372 shots, the largest of which were the 75 thrown from the 12 and 13 inch guns, besides 2S0 S-inch shells. The number of rapid-fire shots amounted to 1,200, 1,500 and even 1,SOO for single ships. Most of the shots were common shell, very few armor-piercing projec- tiles having been used, and this fact accounts chiefly for the comparatively small cost of the ammunition expended
 And it also appears that the noble Oregon did her full share of the shoot ing as well as the steaming. She fired 2,S27 shots, the Brooklyn 1878, the Iowa 1,74S, the Gloucester 1872, the Texas S36, and the New York two 4-inch projec- tiles.
