AN OLD MURDER
Charged Against Men Who Were
Enemies of the Dead Man.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 10
James Brant, Of Chatham, Ohio, and his
two sons Henry Brant, Of this city, and
Sam Braut, of Lorain Ohio, are under ar
rest on the charge of being implicated in
the supposed murder of Lyle Cadmium, a
farmer of Medina, Ohio, in September.
1853. Cadnum and the Brants had adloin-
irg farms in Medina and there was bad
blood between the two families. Quarrels
were frequent and Cadmium at one time had
one of the Brants arrested for committing
an assault upon him In the summer Of
1885 two horses owned by Cadmium were
mutiIated one night. one of them having
it's tongue cut out. and the other having
his tail cut of near the body. The severed
tongue was hung on the knob Of Cadmium
front door. Cadmium swore out warrants
for the Brants and indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury. On the night of
September 10, before the cases came to
trial, Cadmium disappeared while going
home from the house CT a neighbor. Not
the least trace Of him has been found from
that time to this unless the Medina 6u-
thorities have discovered something which
they are keeping secret The Brants claim
they are able TO prove alibis-

DETROIT, Mich, December 49,
The American Federation of Labor this
afternoon registered emphatic disap-
proval of government subsidies to ship
owners, and later declared almost unan-
inously against the principle and prac-
tice of subsidy legislation. Incident
ally, some more or less distinguished
lobbyists, some of them federal Office
holders, who had been lobbying to Sc
cure endorsement of the Frye subsidy
bill, suffered a decided defeat.
The debate lasted three hours and
the speeches were the most vigorous
of any heard in the convention dur
ing the week it has been in session, but
only two of the several speakers sup
ported the idea.
The convention declined to adopt a
resolution concerning the Idaho miners
and military difficulty, which declared
that I'VE do hereby emphatically con-
denim and denounce President McKin-
ley, Governor Stemenburg and all the
officials concerned in the outrage" and
called also upon the working people Ito
sever their connection and refuse any
support to the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties" etc.
A substitute for the latter resolution
was adopted which, after reciting that
innocent men had been incarcerated
without reference to their constitutions
al rights, ETC., protests against and
condemns said alleged inhuman a0 ions
by the authorities. and directs tl1eAsx-
ecutive council of the Federation to
make full investigation and place the
responsibility where it properly be-
longs"
President Gompers Presided
this afternoon for the first time.
The question of a declaration on the
subject of ship subsidies was raised by
bringing in of two resolutions, one
from the boilermakers and iron ship
builders, favoring subsidy legislation;
the other opposing ship subsidies. The
resolutions committee offered as a sub
stitute for both, resolution declaring
that, since the natural resources OF
America offer abundantly everything,
necessary to building of ships much
more cheaply than in Europe,
Resolved, That while we favor an
increased national merchant marine,
we are opposed to any and all subsi-
dies, believing the industry amply able
to take care of itself"
Vice President Duncan offered the
following addition to the committee s
substitute resolution:
Resolved further, That we are de-
eidedly opposed to all legislation of this
kind and will not give it consideration
until the great shipbuiIding firms OF
the country, which would be its greater
beneficiaries, withdraw their opposition
TO our eight-hour work day legisla-
ton, and cease their discrimination
against the employment of union work
men"
After considerable discussion Mr.
Duncan's amendment was accepted by
the resolutions committee and the les
olution as so amended was adopted by
the convention with but three adverse
votes.
A general declaration against subsi-
dies, and reciting their alleged bane-
full effects upon beneficiaries, legislators
and taxpayers, was adopted by about
the same vote. The convention ad-
iourned until Monday.

BOSTON, December 16-As a result of
the failure of the John P. Squire company,
(corporation) of Cambridge for 5000 900,
yesterday the Broadway National Bank
here, in which Squires were largely inter-
estee, did not open it's doors to-day. and
a notice at the entrance stated that the af-
fairs of the bank were in the hands of
the comptroller of the currency.

the institution was solvent, and he added
that there actually was 100000 in cash in
the banks vaults this morning.

LONDON rs soBEREp.

LONDON, December 16.-As might
have been expected. the desperate
state of the British arms in South At
RIGA, as revealed by the defeat of Gen.
Butler at Tugela river, where, at one
stroke, he lost treble the number of
guns Wellington left in the hands of
Napoleon during the six years fight
ing in the peninsula, while adding to
the determination of the authorities to
send every available man to the front,
caused something in the nature of
momentary panic among the public,
which was reflected on the stock ex-
change, as already cabled.
1t is long since the tone of newspa-
pers and the comment in the clubs and
other resorts has been so chastened
and pessimistc. Some of the comments
go SO far as to say the crisis is so
far-reaching that Great Britain stands
where she stood over a century back,
when the American colonists, men of
British and Dutch blood, were in arms"
The Evening Standard declares the
situation calls for all the equnanimity,
determination and perseverance of the
empire and demands the immediate
calling out of all the volunteers, en-
bodying all the outlanders expelled
from the Transvaal, to guard the lines
of communication, thus freeing
All the Regulars
for service in the fighting line.
The Star urges the Communicating
"of all the great English Atlantic lin
ers for the transportation of reinforce
ments," and says the country must
set herself to the task OF plucking
victory out of defeat" adding,
'sThe guilt of the government is sup
erseded by the danger Of the empire.
We are thinking of a hostile Europe:
we are thinking of India, and whatever
happens. we implore the government
not to move another man from Cal
cutta or Bombay. We remember the
mutiny."
The St. james Gazette is also appre-
hensive of foreign complications and
thinks France is preparing for some
venture which will be in the nature
of defiance of Great Britain and
urges the admiralty to form a new
squadron of ships in the reserve.
The Globe, after urging the immediate
dispatch of reinforcements and the use
of the militia. says:
And we can turn with equal conf
dence to the strong arms and loyal
hearts of our fellow subjects in Canada
and Australia Those offers which were
so literally made and which were not

as ourselves that not only our suprem-
acy in Africa but the maintenance of
the empire is at stake"
The Pail Mall Gazette's review of the
situation says:
"It is no use crying over split milk.
Surprises of all sorts must be expected
in war. Our position for the advance
is intact. Nothing has occurred to
shake our belief in Gen. Butler. Let
us steadily trust him and furnish him
as rapidly as possible with more guns
and more horses and men,"
AS the day proceeded the attacks of
nerves disappeared, and the only per-
manent effect of the serious news was
to cause a tighter clenching of fists
and a more set determination to
achieve the task the country has under
taken. Departing troops were more
vehemently cheered than usual, and
the troops themselves displayed even
a much greater desire to reach the
front.
There was little excitement at the
war office, but orders were being issued
in all directions for the mobilization
of the reserves and militia. The latter
will replace the regulars in the garri-
son towns.
Queen Victoria was greatly concern
ed about the latest reverse. The COM
mander in chief, Lord Wolseley, was
at Windsor Castle when the news ar
rived, and he took special train back
to London.
The West India docks were gay this
afternoon with about 5000 prominent
people present, including number of
royal personages, on the occasion of
the presentation of the queens flag to
the American
Hospital Ship Maine.
The Duke OF Connaught, surrounded
by the ladies of the committee, on the
poop deck, presented the flag to Lady
Randolph Churchill. He said that in
the name of the queen he thanked the
American men and women there and
on the other side" who had $50 nobly
contributed to help the English SICK
and wounded"
The Duke also referred to the unique
occasion of a ship sailing under the
union jack and the stars and stripes"
as evidence of affection existing be-
tween the two countries.
Lady Randolph Churchill replied,
thanking the Queen and the Duke of
Connaught.
The Bishop of Islington blessed the
ship and the flag was hoisted by the
Duke. After several unsuccessful tugs
he broke out the stops and an immense
union jack with a red cross in its CEN
ire flew out in the sunshine. The
''Star Spangled Banner" and GOD
Save the Queen" were played by the
Scots Guard band. The crowds cheer
ed and the lockers clustered along the
river banks joined in applause. Lady
Randolph called for three cheers for the
Duke of Connaught, which were given
heartily.
The royal party included the Duchess
of Connaught and Princess Louise OF
Lorne. They drove away, after having
inspected the Maine, which is expected
to sail for South Africa in about a
week
