Tfdav
(By the Associated Press.

Tampa, Fla, Nov. 14.-The trouble be-
tween the rival labor organizations, the
Resistancia and the International Cigar
Makers Unions, reached crisis today
Each organization has made the de-
mand that the members OF the rival or
der be locked out and some of the man
ufacturers have closed their factories TO
prevent trouble.
Forces from both sides met at the fac
tory of Y Penda and Alverez and declared
that they would not allow the other to
work if there had to be bloodshed The
factory was Immediately closed by the
management.
Demand was then made on all the fac
tories OF the Cuban American Company
that they turn the International men into
the street and 100 men were forced out
Of employment.
The conditions are the most serious
yet presented.
The question of wages does not enter
into the matter, it being simply a fight
between the international (American) and
the Resistancia Spanish for supremacy.
The manufacturers are being hampered
seriously at the busiest season of the
year
Ii is expected that by tomorrow morn
ing there will be more than 1000 people
out on account CT the trouble.

THE ALABAMA GovERNoRsH1p.
Complications Feared in the Event of Sam
ford's Death.
(By the Associated Press.)

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 14.-According to
kilograms received here from various
parts of the South and from members of
the Legislature now in session in Mont
gomery, some doubt exists as to success
sion to the gubernatorial chair of Ala
bama after December 1st in case of the
death of Governor elect Sanford.
A joint session OF the General Assembly
OF Alabama has declared Governor Sam
ford duly elected Governor of the State
The question Of qualification and admis-
sion cf the oath of office is deemed
necessary in order to make the President
of the Senate the legal successor of Gov
crnor-e elect Sanford if the latter dies.
This oath has not been administered
and members of Governor Samford's s
family say they will not allow him 10
take such an obligation in his present
condition.
A telegram to the Associated Press to-
day from w. II. Sanford, son of the Gov
ernor-elect at Opelika, says:
II am watching closely the bedside Of
my father and have no time nor inclina-
tion to consider the Governorship. The
Legislature has declared him elected, and
his physicians think he will be able to
take the oath of office at the regular
time"
Another message from Representative
John H. Wallace, Jr., of the Huntsville
district, says:
Mr.. Sanford has been declared duly
and constitutonally elected Governor by
Speaker Pettus in the presence of the
Senate. His son who is a notary public
will administer the oath of Office today
and forward the same to the Secretary of
State. There is now no doubt that in the
event he dies before December 1st that
the President of the Senate will be
Governor"

VIRGINIA COLLEGE BURNED.
Young Ladies Fly Prom Building in scant

AZURE
Roanoke. Va, Nov. 14.-Virginia Col
lege. an institution for ladies, situat-
ed just outside the city limits of Roa-
noke, was totally destroyed by fire at
an early hour this morning. Soon af-
ter the ''rising bell'' had been rung.
it was discovered that the Railways of
the big building were filledS with
smoke. The young ladies were notified
to lose no time in getting out of the
building. The word quickly passed
around and the young pupils, $50 IN
number. made their way out, many of
them thinly clad, hardly any with any
thing more than the simplest cos
tunes of the bedroom. There was lit
tie confusion; no great excitement. AS
soon as men reached the scene they
cheerfully loaned their overcoats to
girls in light costume. Some of the
neighbors meanwhile brought blan-
kets and the girls who had the least
clothing went into nearby houses.
The fire started in the boiler room,
exactly how it is not known. 1t made
quick work, and in less than two hours
the buildings were entirely destroyed.
The desk from the business office and
few articles of furniture were about
all that was saved.
The building was of brick and fitted
with all modern conveniences. The
loss is $4,000, with about S25.0 in
surance. The building belonged to
Miss Harris and Mrs. Boatw1ight
The students will be kept together
in Roanoke for a few days until it is
decided where the school will resume.

FOR A PACIFIC CABLE
To Connect America With
Her Colonies.
Admiral Bradford Reports That Route Ha
Been Discovered. Explored, Sur
Veyed and Mapped.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Nov 1.-THE report
Admiral Bradford, Chief of the Nava
Bureau of Equipment, sets forth the de
STABILITY of naval station at Guam
emphasizing the Importance of the islant
as a naval base, it being the only Uni
ted States port between Hawaii and tn.
Philippines.
The amount of coal being consumed
by the navy is increasing year by year,
and it's cost last year averaged nearly 81
a ton more than during the fiscal year
of 1898. Admiral Bradford again renews
his recommendations for new naval coal
depots and dwells upon the great neces-
sity of maintaining an efficient coal sup
ply wherever naval operations might be
looked for The bureau recommends the
installation of the Marconi system of
wireless telegraphy on board of several
ships of the navy, provided it can be
done at a reasonable, cost.
The Admiral states that the survey by
the United States Steamship Nero for a
Trans Pacific submarine telegraph cable
between Honolulu and the Philippine Is
lands was most successfully accomplished
and that a satisfactory route for an all
American cable to connect the Pacific
coast with the outlying colonial possess
sicns OF the United States in the Pacific
and with China and Japan has been dis
covered, thoroughly explored, surveyed
and mapped. The bureau is now ready
to lay the cable at any time.
Two parties were sent into the field
by the naval observatory to witness the
total esciipse OF the sun on May 2Sth.
1900. The result, says Admiral Bradford.
was as a whole, successful. At
tention is called to the fact
that another total eclipse Of the sun
will occur May 18th, 1901, which will be
remarkable on account of the long dura-
tion of the totality and the high altitude
of the sun. An estimate to enable the OBJ
safvatory to send an expedition to wit
ness this eclipse will be submitted.

AT ONE WITH THE POWERS
Doing All Possible to Bring About
Speedy Agreement.
FOREIGN MINISTER'S CONFER AT PEKiN
1t is Said That Most Of the Minor Points Have
Been Disposed Of and an Agreement
Reached Upon Several Essen
tial Questions,

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE rather
severe criticisms of the English press
upon the attitude of the United States
Government relative to the Chinese COM
plications based upon the advices of
their American correspondents, have ma
turally attracted a good deal of atten-
tion here.
With a view of ascertaining what basis
there might be for these criticisms, an
inquiry was today made in an authorita-
I've quarter with the following results:
"The comments of the London press
the pending negotiations in China are
founded on a complete misunderstanding.
So far, from the Government interposing
any obstacles to an agreement among
the powers at Pekin, Mr. Conger has
been instructed frequently, and in urgent
terms to do everything possible to bring
about speedy agreement. This Gov
crnment took no part in the expedition to
Pao Ting Flu, hut it made no protest
against it, and has given no expression
OF opinion to the other powers as to it's
propriety. This Government is in agree
ment with the powers in demanding Sc
we're and adequate punishment OF the
principal wrongdoers, indemnify for the
..2st and security for the future. 1t
does not however, at this distance pre-
sumo to decide who are the most guilty,
what punishment must be inflicted in each
particular case and what sentences are
possible of execution. These matters, as
Well as that of indemnity, are left to the
neg0tiators on the spot. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that they will not exact a repara
tion, either personal or pecuniary which
ii would be beyond the power OF China
to carry out"
