NaVat ACADEMY.
A dispatch was received here this
morning from the Navy Department by
Superintendent McNair. OF the Naval
Academy. that the practice ship Monon-
gahela was safe and had been cited early
this morning inside the Capes. This
was a great relief to the parents and
friends OF those on the ship. although no
apprehension was felt for her safety by
the officials. She is expected to arrive
at the Naval Academy about Thursday
morning.
The Monongahela sailed from Annap-
oils June 3rd at 2 p. m. on practice
cruise across the Atlantic and back. car
rying about I4o cadets from the Naval
Academy, comprising the second and
third classes and part OF the fourth class.
The vessel was bound for Plymouth. Eng
land, where she arrived July Ist, having
taken one months in the passage. The
Monongahela sailed on the homeward
trip on July 9Th and reported from Fun
chal. Madeira, her arrival at that port on
July 74th. On July 77th she sailed di-
rect TOR Annapolis. so that up to today
she has been Al days out. The officers
OF the Navigation Bureau say this is by
no means long time to spend in the
voyage. even under favorable weather
conditions.
The distance from Funchal to the
Chesapeake capes, in a direct line. is
about 2,Soo miles, out sailing vessels
never take this direct route, and naval
ships in particular make practice OF
swinging far TO the southwark after leav-
ing Funchal. in order to get the trade
winds. That makes a route of about
5000 miles. The Monongahela is COM
manded by Captain Hutchins, the COM

of the federation to take up the Ward
ner trouble at all.
The convention to be held in this
city has nothing to do with the conflict
at Wardner. The men engaged in that
conflict were not members of the fed
Grafton, consequently it cannot take Of
fetal cogniZance of it.
From $50 to 200 delegates will be in
attendance at the convention, which
admits representatives from the sub
ordinate organizations of both the
Western Federation of Miners and the
Western Labor Union, the latter or
ganization having been formed at the
convention held here one year ago, and
designed to embrace all tradesmen and
mechanics, other than miners, within
its scope, all of whom work under the
general laws, rules and regulations pro-
mulgated by the representatives who
meet in joint session once q year for
the purpose of legislating in the inter-
esJs of all.
The Western Labor Union was eff
fected for the purpose of crowding out
the American Federation in this terri
tory, it being felt that the west had
been unfairly treated by the larger or
ganiZation.
The delegates to this convention rep
resent a membership of between 10000
and 10000 men, and, as the younger
organization-the Western Labor Union
is hardly in good working order yet.
it is expected that the greater part of
the work of the approaching session
will relate TO the upbuilding of that
branch. These organizations embraced
the whole western part of the coun-
try-from Colorado to California, and
from the Gulf of Mexico to Alaska, in
Guiding the British possessions.
Scores the Tribune.
AS the local conditions and needs of
people scattered over this vast area
are greatly diversified, the convention
will likely be in session for some time
probably two weeks or more. In dis
cussing the Wardner affair. a member
of the executive committee paid his
respects TO the Tribune, CHASING 1t

were in a great measure responsible for
the troubles which We're constantly
breaking out between capital and la
Dor.
THE men who are to meet in con-
vention here" said he. ARE peaceable,
law-abiding citizens, who wish only to
be allowed to mind their own business.
They come to Salt Lake not to take
anything from its citizens, but rather
to leave their blessings in the shape of
hard cash. and l assure you that If in
the future these organizations decline
TO become guests of the citizens OF Salt
Lake, the blame will lie with you
alone"
The Western Federation of Miners
and the Western Labor Union have
opened separate headquarters. the for
mer being in the Gladstone building,

Sergeant H. E. Coolidge of battery B,
Utah volunteers, arrived in the city
yesterday from Manila, which city he
left on March 20, sailing homeward by
way of Japan. Sergeant Coolidge re-
turned in the same vessel with ]. t.
Donnellan, whom he left in San Fran
cisco.
The returned soldiers appearance
certainly justifies his statement that he
has not seen days sickness during his
absence from home. He is in the best
of health, and returns well satisfied
with his little war experience. At the
time of his departure from the Philip
pines the fighting was heavy all along
the lines, and every Utah boy plugging
away with characteristic fighting en-
ergy.
Sergeant Coolidge said last night:
THE boys are all crazy to come home,
and it is only right that they should
be allowed to do so, as the regulars are
the ones who should now take up the
burden in the Philippines"
The returned hero expressed himself
in terms of unstinted praise for Major
Young, and said he echoed the senti-
ment of every Utahn in the Philippines.
The other officers, too, he said, com
mand the respect and admiration of
their men. Major Young is now in
command of all the artillery forces in
the Philippines.
Sergeant Coolidge, accompanied by
his father o. F. Coolidge of Manti.
will return to his home in that city
on this mornings train
