UNITED MINE WORKERS.
A LIVELY SESSION OF THE Ma
TIONAL CONVENTION.
Charges Of Unfairness Freely Made
by the Anti-Administrati
Factions

PITTSBURG, Jan. 10. = The bitter
wrangie over the appointment of the
Credentials Committee, which occupied
the entire session of the National Con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
yesterday, was renewed Immediately
upon the opening Of the convention to-
day. Charges of unfairness were free
~ made by the administration
factions, and these accusations We're
promptly denied by President Ratch-
ford, Acting President Mitchell and
Secretary Treasurer Pierce.
When the session was called tor order,
Chairman Keenan, of the Committee on
Credentials reported that all delegates
entitled to representation had been
seated, and that a number had been
rejected because the locals had not
fully complied with the constitution
Before the report could be adopted,
however, ex-President Mcbride created
surprise by alleging that the Ohio del
egation had decided to withdraw all
candidates for Office from that State.
and that they would refuse to serve on
any committees until a thorough in
vestigation had been made. This was
done, he said, because the Ohioans saw
that the outsiders were seeking to de-
lay. matters, in order to secure the
election of their own candidates.
This reopened the discussion, and
Patrick Dolan, Pennsylvania candi-
date for President, said that he was
willing to withdraw his name from the
list of candidates, and leave a clean
field to the hook-padders.
T. T. Lewis of Ohio said that yester-
day he was looked upon as candi-
date; to-day he was a delegate. He
alleged that the national officers had
influenced delegates in favor of GER
tain candidates for Office and that the
funds of the miners had been used for
electioneering purposes. He said tnat
he was making these charges in writ
ing, and was prepared to prove all his
allegations.
Acting President Mitchell said the
charges were made without proofs, and
denied that the organization had been
used in his behalf. The charges, he
said, were unmanly.
He was followed by President Ryan
of Illinois, who caused some excitement
by Offering to donate $500 to the or
ganization if the charges were proved.
Dolan said he obtained his informal
ton from Edward Mckay at Column
bus before the convention last year.
The report Of the Cr"1eatiats Com
mittee was then taken up II showe !
627 delegates, divided as follows: Penn
sylvania 76, Illinois 243, Ohio 142, In
diana 6S, Indian Territory 9, Arkan-
sas 10, Kansas 10. Michigan 1, West
Virginia 6, Tennessee 4, Kentucky 10,
Iowa 20, Alabama 20.
Pleas for harmony followed, and
pending the adoption of the Credentials
Committees report, a Committee Of
Investigation composed of one dele
gate from each State was appointed to
examine and report to the convention.

A FAITHFUL OFFICIAL.
W. d. Nichols Will Take His Leave
Of the CAPITOL.

The fortune of war, or of politics,
which in many cases is very much
alike has caused the retirement from
the State Capitol of a number of en-
ployes who have been there for the
past four years. Among those whose
faces will be missed most is William D.
Nichols. the Waterman who received
and conducted visitors around the
building, showing them the various
points of interest and giving a history
of them. Many an Eastern tourist has
carried back with him to his home a
pleasant remembrance Of LIE courtesies
extended to him by Mr.. Nichols, who
always made 1t point to make his
visit as interesting as possible. He has
won many friends in this city during
his stay who regret the fortune that
removes him from his position and who
wish him we'll in his future walk
through life

Cubans Will Be Appointed to In
portant Places.
Perfecto Lacoste, Who Was President Of
the Junta, to Be Named as Mayor.
Some Friction Existing in the Army
Over the Government Of the
Capital City, the Present Tur-
moi Relating to the Control Of
the Police Force.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune" from Havana says:
Appointments of Cubans to important
offices in Havana will soon be made. 1t
is announced that Perfecto Lacoste,
who was President of the Havana
Junta, will be named as Mayor. Cen
eral Menocal will accept position
under General Ludlow. Civil Governor
De Castro has asked the acceptance Of
his resignation, and will remain in Of
flee for only few days. By placing
Cubans in prominent positions some of
the responsibility for minor positions
Will be shifted to them. The insur-
gents have been complaining that ap-
pointments already made in the Custom
House and other places have gone to
Cubans who stayed at home during the
fighting. When leading insurgents are
in the chief positions complaints will
have to be directed against them,
rather than against the American au-
thorities.
Some friction exists in the army over
the Government of Havana It was
supposed that Washington orders Gre
ating a separate department, with Gen.
eral Ludlow in command were explicit
enough to prevent conflicts Of author
ity, but this expectation has not been
fully realized. The present turmoil re-
lates to the control of Havana police
force. When General Greene was here
Colonel Moulton of the Second Illinois,
which was then at Savannah, was des-
ignated as military Chief of Police at
General Green's request. He has been
organizing force with the assistance
of ex-Chief McCullagh of New York.
More recent plans contemplate placing
the Police Department under the con-
troll of Colonel Evans, formerly Gov
erenor of South Carolina and now on
General Lawton's staff. This uncer-
tainty retards the organization
Cuban political prisoners who were
deported to African settlements are pro-
testing against the choice of two BROTH
ers named Martinez, who have been re-
tanned by Colonel Moulton They charge
that one of these brothers was q menu
Der Of Weyler's secret police, and re-
sponsible for atrocities then committed.
The other one is charged with compile
ity in various atrocities. All these
charges are denied. The Martinez
brothers are said to be useful because
of their knowledge of the Manages and
other criminal societies in Havana

Winfield $. walters Committed to
the Insane Hospital.

Winfield S. Walters, formerly employed
as q railway mail clerk on the Metropoli-
tan Street Railroad, was committed to st.
Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane on last
Wednesday. The circumstances under
which the removal of Mr.. Walters TO the
asylum became necessary were very dis
tressing and great surprise to the un-
fortunate mans many friends in the city.
For long time before Mr.. Walters be-
came connected with the mail service upon
the Metropolitan Railroad he was employed
as a mail clerk and had a run South
from Washington. On one of his trips
South some years ago he was injured in
collision and when it was believed that
he had sufficiently recovered TO resume his
duty he was transferred from the railway
mail service to that on the city street rail-
WAYS.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Walters started out
from the east end of the Metropolitan road
on his regular trip, which he made in good
time, making collection of the mail along
the route. Upon starting on his return
from the Georgetown terminus he locked
himself in the mail car and neglected TO
collect or distribute the mail along the
route. Upon arriving at the east terminus
of the road the conductor in charge of the
car reported the circumstances to Superin-
tendent Coleman who Immediately notified
the postoffce officials A substitute was sent
TO relieve Mr.. Walters and he was taken
TO his home. There he was examined by
physicians, who concluded that the mans s
mind was deranged and the following day
be was sent to the asylum.

THE CASE OF M. W. FALK.
Motion for n New Trial Taken Under
AdYiSement.

Justice Cole sitting in Criminal Court
No. / yesterday heard arguments on the
motion for a new trial in the case of
Macmillan W. Falk, who on January "a
was convicted of adultery in the Supreme
Court of the District.
The day after his trial began and before
the jury rendered verdict. as heretofore
stated in The Times, Falk fed from the
jurisdiction of the court.
The prisoner is represented by Messrs.
Edwin Forrest and Edmund Burke, who
submitted to the court: That Falk was H.
legally convicted, inasmuch as the jury
had not the right to announce its verdict
in the absence of the accused; that four of
the jurors. who considered the evidence
against him were incapacitated to serve,
because they had already been drawn to
serve on another panel, and finally that
the accused was improperly indicted, for
in that the statute under which the in
dictment was found, is not applicable to
the District of Columbia.
Argument in opposition to the motion
was made by Assistant District Attorney
Joseph Shillington.
At the conclusion of the arguments the
matter was taken under advisement by
the court.
