Bland, congressman from the Eight Mis-

exactly at o'clock this morning.
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock he fell
into sleep from which he never awoke.
The physicians used every means in their
power to arouse him, but he never re-
gained consciousness in the slightest de-
gree.
About / clock this morning it could
be seen that he was sinking rapidly and
at half past four o'clock he ceased to
breath.
Toward the end, the action Of his heart
increased perceptibly and hope was ex-
pressed that he was awakening, but it
was fruitless hope. His sons, Theodore,

The executive committee of the State
Federation of Labor was in session here
all forenoon, and in telegraphic commu-
nication with the Smelter Mems union
at Leadville. Pueblo and Durango, and
received authority to act for the men in
all matters looking to settlement OF
the trouble
Late today they sent letter to J. B.
Grant, chairman of the operating COM
mittee Of the American Smelling and
Refining company, asking for confer
ence, for the purpose of arranging set
tlement of the trouble between the com
pany and it's employs.
Within short time after the delivery
of the letter the following reply was re-
ceived from Mr., Grant:
Davis G. Coates, President OF the Colo
RADIO State Federation Of Labor:
"Dear Sir-In reply to your communi-
cation today beg to say that this com
mittee fully recognizes the gravity of
the situation that has been precipitated
upon this state by the passage of the
eight hour law, and by subsequent agi-
tation and demand for an increase OF
wages by our employees, which increase
the economic conditions OF the mining
and smelling industry render impossible
at this time. While the committee is
at all times ready and willing to discuss
the situation with the men employed by
the American Smelling and refining
company, and to do everything in its
power to bring about resumption of
business it fails to see that it has any
question to discuss with the State Fed
Grafton OF Labor, or that any good re-
suits could come from conference with
it's officers, who are strangers to the
smelling business. Respectfully,
~. B. GRANT, Chairman"
President Coats, after receiving Mr..
Grants reply, said the board would de-
vote it's energies to an endeavor to bring
about conference between the smelter
employees and the trust officials, and he
expressed his belief that such confer
enoe would eventually lead to an AMIGA
BILE settlement OF the differences.

NEW WITNESS AGAINST JESTER.
Abel Washburn, Of Oklahoma, Re-
members Important Details.

GUTHRIE, Ok, July 19.-Another
witness has been found to testify
against w. A. Hill, or Alexander Jes-
ter, recently taken to Missouri from
Tecumseh, Okla, on the charge Of
having murdered Gilbert Gates in 1871.
The new witness is Abel Washburn, q
farmer living near Hennessy, Ok.
Washburn, who lived in Missouri and
knew all the parties to the affair, says
the murder was committed on Jan. 25.
Jester was arrested for the crime and
broke jail on May following.
In company with his uncle and
cousins Washburn participated in the
pursuit OF Jester. John Wasburn, who
was then a small lad, encountered
Jester, who struck him with big
stone and made his escape,
The Washburns lived in Monroe
county, Mo-, at the time of the muir
der and knew the testers well. Wash
burn is confident that Jester is the
man who did the killing. He recog-
nized him readily by his picture in the

ALGER TO GET OUT.
His Resignation in the Hands Of the
President-He is Ready to Go
at Once.

WASHINGTON, July 10. = Secretary
Of War Alger has rendered his res
ignstion, to take effect at the pleasure
Of the President.
The general expectation is that the
resignation will be accepted at once.
A few days ago ii was semi officially
announced that Mr.. Alger would not
resign until he had at least complet-
ed his report of the Spanish war.
Mr.. AIger's alliance with Governor
Pingree and the official ostracism that
has been accorded Gen. Alger since
the close Of the Spanish war are the
two factors that are believed to have
caused the secretary's resignation.
From his own utterances within the
last week the step wasnot taken be-
cause he wished to leave official
Washington and he retires now be-
cause those about and above him
wish him to do so.
ALGER's CAREER IN CHAPTERS.

THE CHICAGO MEETING.
Democrats Elected Governor Stone
Acting Chairman and Put Devlin's
Bureau Under Control -Har-
monious Meeting.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 20.-The Demo-
cratic National Committe closed its
session tonight by placing ex-Gov-
ernor Stone, of Missouri, in charge Of
affairs during the absence of Ohair-
man Jones. He was unanimously
elected vice. chairman. New rules
we're adopted, giving the vice-chair-
man, while acting, all the authority of
the chairman. The meeting was har-
monious and business-Iike
P. ]. Devlin, who was at the head Of
the National Press bureau, was re-
moved from his perch gently but
firmly. The bureau, which has been
principally a Chicago and Illinois
affair, will be placed under control Of
committee Of five, to be appointed
later. Mr.. DevlIn was criticised for
uslng the bureau to harans Mayor
Harrison and the committee disclaim-
ed responsibility for his action.
To avoid friction, an executive COM
mittee OF eleven members, of which
Governor Stone will be the nominal
head, will be named in the near
future, and also ways and means
committee, composed Of seven mem
bers. II is not supposed that former
Governor Altgeld will have anything
to do with the new ways and means
committee, and hence Committeeman
Gahan and Mayor Harrison. Of Chi
caqo, feel satisfied. II is said, too,
that former Governor Altgeld is
pleased with this arrangement, 90 It
appears that the committee killed two
birds with one shot.
Speeches we're short and related to
matters under consideration, Moth
ing was attempted looking to fore
stalIing the work of the national con.

again that the committee had no busi-
ness to meddie with the AFFAIRS of the
