KENT OF OMAHA BEATEN FOR DELEGATE

DETROIT, Dec 20.-The longest conven-
ton of the American Federation of Labor
ever held, ended this afternoon During the
nine days that the delegates were in seS
sion declarations were adopted concerning a
great variety of questions of more or less
public import, but for the first time in many
years no proposition was made or action
taken, even remotely connected with the
money question or other pending political
issues.
Among the closing items of business trans
acted were adoption Of resolutions appealing
to congress to submit to state legislatures
sixteenth constitutional amendment to
prohibit disfranchisement of citizens on ac-
count of their sex, and directing President
Gompers to correspond with the trades un-
ions of the continental European countries
with a view Of bringing about fraternal re-
lations.
This afternoon a resolution was adopted TO
the effect that any product of labor rep
resented to be union made, shall not be so
considered unless it bears the union label.
The committee on labels and boycotts re-
ported in favor of dropping the names Of
all concerns now on the unfair list, which
list had grown to unnecessarily large pro-
portions on account of retaining so many
old names thereon. There was considerable
opposition to this until it was explained that
any trade organization could, by making
application, have the boycott renewed.
A proposition for adoption of a universal
union label was rejected, but the legislature
OF the states and congress were asked to
eract law covering the use of a universal
union label.
The convention took action urging Ohio
trades unionists to do their utmost to bring
about enactment of a revision of the munic-
iral code for government OF Ohio cities.
One of the closing acts was a declara-
tion against keeping open stores on Sun
day.
The following were elected members OF the
committee appointed to amalgamate the two
rival painters organizations: William j.
O'Brien of the granite cutters; p. d. Dris-
coll of the horseshoers, and o. E. Woodbury.
of the carpenters.

delegates, made brief congratulatory ad

RESULT OF sUPHtMs COURT DECISION

LINCOLN, Dee. 2O.-Cspecal) - Now
that the supreme court has unan-
imously agreed that the Weaver
insurance law is void, the very
important question arises, Is there an ap-
preparation for carrying on the insurance
business OF the state? The appropriations
made by the Legislature for this purpose
were all made in accordance with the pro-
visions Of the Weaver law and this act haV-
ing been declared void there is some dis
pute as to whether the appropriations are
still in force.
State Auditor Cornell who now has ex-
elusive charge Of the insurance business ot
the state said today that he had not formed
any definite conclusion as to whether he
had any legal authority to draw from the
appropriations. He will ask Attorney Cen
eral smyth for an opinion on the subject ana
will be governed accordingly.
In the appropriations provision was made
for the auditor drawing a certain amount
from the treasury for conducting the insur-
ance business until the time the new law
went into effect. Further than that, no pro-
vision was made which gave the auditor
power to spend or direct the expenditure
OF any money appropriated for the insur-
ance department. After defining the duties
of the deputy insurance commissioner the
law expressly provided for his salary, for
the salary of clerk and stenographer, TOT
printing and office expenses The appropria-
tions were reduced by Auditor Cornell prior
to July 1, as follows:

Must Go Home to Dook.

It Is now practically certain that her
majesty's battleship Victorious will be
recalled from China and brought homo
to be docked at great expense, says
the London Mail.
The Victorious was sent out In
most desperate hurry In February.
1898. She grounded OF Port Said on
her way, and 10 thought to have dent
ed her bottom.
She has now been more than q year
on the China station without being
docked; indeed, 1t is over fourteen
months since her bottom was cleaned.
The dock company at Hongkong win
not take the responsibility Of docking
her, as when lightened to the utmost
and with the tide at its highest there
Is only three and One-half inches on
each side between her bilge keel and
the side Of the dock. 1t would be rum
ming very grave risk under these cir
cumstances to attempt to place her In
dock.
Application was made to the Japa-
nese government to dock her. But
the imperial japanese authorities.
while anxious to do all they can, state
they have no dock which will hold her.
The Victorious bottom meanwhile
Is believed to be very seriously pitted
and Is extremely foul. She has lost
two and one-half knots Of speed and
can only crawl about at thirteen or
fourteen knots. Moreover. her coal
consumption Is enormous.
When sent out the admiralty imag-
ined that she could be docked at
Hongkong. There was then, and has
been since, much criticism Of the 2ol-
Icy Of sending such big ship to the
far east. 1t was pointed cut that she
could not be docked, and that she
could only pass the canal with great
difficulty and danger.
The cause of the mischief was that
Sir ]. Fisher took to the North Amer
lean station the battleship Renown,
which was built to go through the ca
nal and to fit the HongkOng docks.
But the less said about this the better,
The Hongkong Dock Company re-
Gently offered the admiralty to build a
dock large enough to hold the biggest
battleship in the world for a moderate
grant. The offer was refused. Mean
time, literally nothing has been done
to extend the Hongkong dockyard,
which is much too small for the re-
quirements Of the fleet in the far east.
The surveys have been made, and
that Is all. -

GOAT WITH A HISTORY,
Billy Was Picked Up by an English
Regiment in Africa,

Billy, the goat, who has Just reached
Portsmouth, England, has a history,
He was picked up in South Africa by
the 18th huZzars, who made q great
pet of him. He accompanied the regi.
ment throughout the whole Of the
Matabele campaign. Several times he
was under fire, but came out unin-
iured. So attached We're the hussars
to their pet that they brought him
with them when they returned to En-
gland. But when the transport Simla,
In which the hussars were brought
home, reached Southampton the regi-
ment, much to their disgust, found
that they and their pet must be part
ed. The board Of agriculture would
not permit the goat to be landed alive,
and the hussars were not willing to
have him killed. Lieut-Col. Stack
pole, D. A. A. G., the officer who has
charge of the embarkation arrange
ments. interested himself in the ami
NAL. The result was that, instead Of
being killed, Billy was sent out to
Bombay and back In the Simla, which
was making trooping voyage to that
port When the Simla again reached
Southampton the goat was still under
a board Of agriculture ban and on the
eve Of leaving for another long sea
trip when a telegram giving permis-
sion for him to be landed was receiy-
ed from the department. But Billy
was not allowed to rejoin his regiment
and had to be taken from Southamp-
ton to Portsmouth in a war depart
ment steamer Col. O'Oallaghan, the
chief ordnance officer of the southern
district, had heard Of the animals ad-
ventures and he ut once offered Billy
an asylum in the gun wharf. But for
this it is doubtful whether the hus-
sars' goat would not have ended his
adventurous history In the unromantic
surroundings Of q slaughter house.
