WORK IN A LIGHTHOUSE.
Daily Tasks Performed In Keeping
the LAMPS Bright.

The duties of the lighthouse keeper
are many and important. The top OF
the tower is usually. a tiny room. all
glass windows. The lantern Is in the
center Of the Don 1t is a great prism
of glass, in shape like n beehive. The
lamp is set into this. and the lenses
magnify the comparatively small light
or the lamp and make it a great beacon
seen far Off Over the waters. Should
the luminant be a fashlighf, there is
machinery to be wound up every few
hours to cause it to revolve. At sunset
the keeper climbs the steep steps in the
high tower, takes down the curtains
that darken it throughout the day and
sets the lamp inside the lantern. At
midnight the lamp is changed. \ fresh
IT, filed one is put in the place Of the
first lighted one.
When storms are raging or toes pro
vailinG. the keeper stays awake TO
wind the machinery that keeps the fog
signal booming over the water. Many
sl"cpleSs nights are thus spent by the
light keepers in devoted vigil of the
aids to navigation. AT the gray of
dawn the Keeper is again climbing the
steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be
fore the rcd rim of the sun appears the
lamp is eXtinguished. the fine prismatic
lenses are covered. and the huge pancs
of glass that form the walls of the
room are curtalned. The large lamp is
carried down the flights of an almost
perpendicular ladder and when filled,
trimmed and cleaned is ready for the
sunset hour. The work of the keeper is
not concluded with this feat. The most
p~crp,exing portion of the daily routine
Is now to be performed.
The light keeper must give an &C
count of his stewardship. \ record is
kept Of every gill, pint. quart and gal
Ion of oil that is nightly consumed by
the lamps. the fractional parts of inch

LABOR DRAWS COLOR LINE.
Protest Entered at amerfcaa Fed
Grafton Convention.

SCRANTON, Dec. 6-Tha coIcr line
was brought up at the American Fedora
ton Of Labor When some OF the Southern
delegates protested against the seating of
" Seal, negro delegate from Richmond.
Va, Trades ard Labor Council The Gre
dentiaIs Committee, today, however. de-
cided in favor of seating Mr. Seal, and
further. recommended that separate
council be chartered for coIored union
men
The protest against the seating of the
colored delegate vas based on the claim
that the constitution of the Richmond
union provided specially that the deIega-
tion should be Of the white race.
The afternoon session yesterday was de-
voted to the sea6iES Of reports of Presi-
dent GompeTs ana Secretary Morrison
The report of President Gompers contain
ed about 10000 words, and its reading oc-
cupled over three hours. Mr.. Gompers
said;
During the year SO charters were is
sued. OF this number seven were to na-
tlonal unions, four to State declarations.
and l2S TO central labor unions and trade
assemblies One was to a trade assem-
bly IN San Juan, Porto Rico. Charters
were also issued TO SO local trade unions
and tWenty-seyen Federal labor unions.
At the end of the fiscal year. October
81, 1901, We had affiliated with the amer
lean Federation Of Labor: National ana

Dor unions, 327; State federations of Ia

bership, in the past year, Of So, 40.

be introduced in the Senate On Monday
by Senator Hanna. It will FIX the rate at
$5,o00 per annuTa- While Mrs Mckinley
was left with considerable property,
the circumstances Of her husbands death.
and the fact that her own health re-
quires great care and the expenditure of
considerable sums OF money Justify the
action proposed.
From what could be learned today. it is
scarcely probable that any ,.ttenpt VIII
be made TO pension Mrs Benjamin Har-
rison by special act CT Congress-.

proposition to that end pending. No bill
for that purpose ha5 been submitted to

ADMIRAL DEWEY ON RuMoRs.
Says None Regarding the schIey En-
auIry Could BE neuexed.

Admiral Dewey said this morning, in
reference to q despatch, which stated it
was the report among prominent naval
men, that the finding Of the Court OF
Enquiry would be unfavorabIe to Admiral
SehIey on FIVE out of the ten charges in
the precept, that absolutely no such ru-
mors could be believed.
He said that not until the report Of the
Court was handed to the Navy Depart
ment and made public by them, would
any information be divulged-
The despatch in question said that naval
officers, who had closely followed the
course of the Court of Enquiry, believed
that SehIey would be criticised for the
delay OF the flying squadron off Cienfue-
gos for conduct unheeomins an officer and
q gentleman in the Hodgson matter, for
disobedience OF orders in connection with
the Estrograde movement, and for his
failure to destroy the Colon.
The report also went on TO state that
several of these counts might be grouped
in general criticism, but that there
seemed TO be no doubt that Admiral
Schley would be severely criticised
Admiral Dewey refused TO discuss this
latter statement

CLASH OVER PHILIPPINES.

Objects to Lodge Biu.


The first matters of difference between
the House and Senate have arisen anent
the proper way of handling the Philip
pine question arising from the recent de-
cisiGn Of the Supreme Court of the United
States. Senator Lodge introduced bill
in the Senate designed to respond to the
new demands, by declaring that tariff du-
ties coIIeetible in the Philippines shall
remain IN force, thus providing revenue
for the islands.
1t was said that Chairman Payne, of the
Ways and Means Committee Of the House,
would accept the Lodge bill and introduce
1t IN the House. He was asked today
whether he would do SO.
Il shall not" he repIied.

Yes" he replied. but not that bin, -
said Mr. Payne. referring Il the Lodge
bn
The members Of the Ways and Means
Committee resent the introduction of Mr..
Lodges bill it being their belief that it
is designed to rob them OF their preroga-
tive of originating legislation to raise
revenues.
After its appointment had been an
nounced today The committee was 1t once
called together by Chairman Payne. The
Philippine situation was discussed. and
it vas soon evident that it IS the pur-
pose Of the committee TO frame a bill Of
its own to meet the situation.
Another matter was brought before the
