THE CoNDEMNED SOLDIERS.

Washington, Sept. 18.-The secretary
of war in response to numerous re-
quests cabled Gen. Otis regarding the
two men of the Sixteenth infantry
who, according to the press dispatches,
had been condemned to death in the
Philippines. A reply was received last
night. It said there was third sol
der now about to be tried in connec-
ton with the same case and that
when the court martial was concluded
the papers would be forwarded to the
department. The two men sentenced
are Corporal Damhoffer and Private
Conine, of the Sixteenth infantry.
Senator Foster, of Washington, and
many others petitioned the secretary
of war to intervene and prevent the
summary execution of the sentence. It
does not appear however, that the
case, which involves assaults on ma
tive women, is one in which the SEN
tence can be executed without first be-
ing reviewed by the department. The
papers cannot reach Washington in
less than 80 days. The name of the
third soldier involved has not yet been
made public.

Philippines are disheartened by the
fact that every request he makes is
promptly honored, which would 1ndl-
cate that his suppression is not con-

work before Gen. Otis is so important

materials and supplies, but with the
very best and most experienced officers
in every branch of the service, espe-
cially with the most competent and
accomplished quartermas ters, commits

lar and volunteer service of the United

THE END OF THE PEACE PROPOSALS.
Washington, Sept. IS. - Recalling
Commissioners DENLY and Worcester
from Manila before new and aggres-
sive military operations have begun
will serve as notice to the insurgents
that they are to be left to deal with
the United States army alone. There
will be no peace propositions and no
olive branches held out for AguinaldO
or any of his followers. The recall of
the commissioners is a natural result
of the failure of the Philippine com
mission. President Schurman of this
commission is in this country. Admiral
Dewey will be here in few
weeks and there is no reason
why the other members of the
commission should remain in the
Philippines when there is nothing to
be accomplished. 1t, therefore. has
been suggested to Col. DENLY and Prof.
Worcester that they might return to
this country and allow the next meet
ing of the commission to be held in
Washington before congress assemblies.
If the Investigations made prove of
value. President Mckinley will embody
them in his report to congress. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether the COM
mission will present anything that will
aid the government materially in set
Ting the Philippine question.

view" the country place of former Senator
Arthur P. German, in Howard county, was
totally destroyed by fire Saturday evening
about 6 o'clock. II is not definitely known
how the fire broke out, but it is thought it
was either the work of an incendiary or
the result of some one dropping a lighted
match in the barn Fourteen Of the sena-
tors carriages were burned up, as we'll as
three of his fine horses, which were in
portion Of the barn set aside for horses. 1t
is hard to estimate the loss, but it is be
ieved it will be considerably over $1,000.
The property was. covered by insurance,
but the amount is not known.
The senator moved with his family to his
* street residence the LIST of the month,
and the house was unoccupied at the time.

AGAINST MIR. ROBERTS.
Wives of Representatives Demand He
Shall Not BE Seated.

One hundred women, wives of represent
atfves in Congress, have signed petitions
urging their husbands to oppose the seating
of Brigham II. Roberts of Utah in the
House of Representatives of the United
States Congress. Additional signatures are
being received, and it is expected that the
number will be materially increased by the
time Congress assemblies.
The petitions were sent out a couple of
weeks ago by Mrs. Joy, wife of Representa-
tive Joy of Missouri. A copy was mailed
to the wife of each representative, with
the request that il be signed and returned
to Mrs Joy in Washington. The petition
says:
I'VE demand that neither he Roberts)
nor any such as he shall ever take part in
the councils of the law-making body OF
our beloved country"
Mrs. JOY acted in this matter at the re-
quest of Miss Helen Gould of New York,
in behalf of the movement recently inau-
gurated by women of the land against Mr.
Roberts. 1t was deemed a good idea to
work upon the members of the House
through their wives. hence the petition en-
listing the efforts of the feminine branch
of the congressional establishment.
Many OF those who signed me petition
contented themselves with merely attach
ing their signatures to the printed form. but
some others wrote letters encouraging Mrs
JOY and expressing their disapproval of
Mr.. Roberts in vigorous terms

PLEASURE AND REST.
Winter Colony Meeting for the Season
All Hotels Open.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD, n. J., November Is, 1899.
The resort season at Lakewood, \. J., is
now fully under way, and each day IN
coming trains bring increasing numbers
fairly divided into two classes-the rest
seekers, who worn out by ID too close
following of business or social activities,
and those who, with time and means at
command, come here for outdoor life and
exercise, in preparation for the winter
sports which will hold here when estopped
by cold weather at other localities.
The weather continues beautiful. and the
days are spent largely out of doors by all.
Riding, driving, golfng, wheeling and
shooting are the main attractions which
divide the favor of visitors, and the hard.
level graded paths about the lake and
through the pines hold out temptations to
those not strong to indulge in far longer
walks than they would think possible else-
where, and the result OF all this is a sound
sleep o. nights, and steady return to
health and strength for the invalid.
The Laurel House has passed from a
strong, steady business all through Octo-
her to a full house in November. The
Lakewood Hotel opened on Saturday, well
coming something over thirty guests on its
opening day, and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
is all ready for its opening tomorrow, when
a good arrival is booked. The above in
clude all the large hotels of the place, and
the smaller ones have for some time been
open and doing good business, while, in
addition, shoals of boarding houses and
cottages are filled rather closer than is
usual at this date. The horse show at New
York always holds many whose rooms are
booked in Lakewood. and who will come
down Immediately on the close of that
function of fashionable life
Mrs. Grover Cleveland was a recent
visitor in Lakewood, coming to attend the
funeral services of the late Francis p
ra1a Tod
President Cleveland, and an intimate friend
of the family.

Samuel Gompers Before the Indus
trial Commission.
RESUMPTION OF His TESTIMONY
Benefits Claimed to Be the Result
u Of Strikes.
USE OF UNION LABELS

Mr.. Samuel Gompers. president of the
Federation of Labor, was before the indus
trial commission today. In July Mr.. Com
pers began his testimony, which was con-
tinued today
Mr.. Gompers told the commission in re-
gard to the use of union labels, thirty-seven
of which are used in varions trades They
guaranteed to people who demand them
that those who do work stamped with
them have better pay, shorter hours and
labor under more sanitary conditions than
in shops without the label In the clothing
business 1t guaranteed that clothing bear
ing it is made by ADULTS. under good SAN
itary conditions in factories and not in
homes of the workers. The label is becom-
ing so popular, he said, that where they
were formerly printed by the hundred
thousand they are today printed by the
millions.
Mr.. Gompers at some length defended the
boycott as a reasonable defense to be used
by labor. He said that while some people
didn't like to pronounce that word, ne had
no sucn feeling, and he justified 1t as
proper means in the hands of workmen to
obtain their rights.
The witness took the ground that a man
had right to threaten to do anything ne
mad right to do, and in threatening
boycott a labor union was acting within
the bounds of what was legitimate. If
from dealer, a number of them had q
right to do so. And no one had vested
right In the patronage of individuals. There
was no federal state law forbidding the
use Of the boycott.
The Cleveland Boycott.
The street car strike of Cleveland several
m"nths ago had involved a boycott against
all people who rode in the boycotted cars.
He said he did not know whether he would
nave ba in no
but he would not have ridden in the cars
The Cleveland car men We're unorganized
Mhen they began the strike because of
long hours. small pay and bad conditions
generally, and after they struck they ap-
pned to the witness for a charter for a
union, which was refused them under the
circumstances. The Federation of Labor
mad nothing to do with that strike
Advance Obtained by Strikes.
The hours Of labor and wages of street
car employees have been improved during
the past few years. Formerly it was COM
mon for men to get s1.25 day for fifteen
or sixteen hours work Now they get from
Is to - cents an hour. The improvements
had never been secured anywhere except
through the Influence of strikes. The in
nuence of unions had also brought about

time during the afternoon.
