SECOND DAYS SESSION
OF THE STATE BRANCH

Holyoke, Mass, Oct S-The second
days session of the annual convention
of the State Branch of American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor opened this morning.
The finance committees report was ac-
! cepted, was highly gratifying. The
| grievance committee made a report on
the protest of Eagle Lodge of Paper
Makers of Holyoke against holding the
paper makers convention in Buffalo.
The committee on resolutions reported
| "a resolves considered. Recommends
tons indorsing of measure for prOtec-
ton of electrical workers were adopted.
Election of officers was deferred until
tomorrow.
The assassination of President Nc
Kinley was deplored in the report of
the committee of legislation which
urged watchfulness against hysterical
cranks and which condemned the using
of this crime as weapon against or
ganized labor.
The afternoon session was tardy in
opening, although the delay was not
| so pronounced as in the morning, when
the records show a delay of 35 minutes
The reading of the minutes was omit
ted owing to the absence of the assis-
tant secretary.
An amendment to the rules was ac-
cepted providing that the mover of the
motion for previous question be permit
ted to speak on the question. The res
olutfon condemning trusts and recon-
mending that economic questions be
discussed by trade unions was again
brought up. The committee favored
the discussion of economic questions
but desired that the other be abandon
ed.
The discussion was especially inter-
esting. Frank K Foster replied sar-
castically to delegate Goldstein. The
resolution was characterized as an at
tempt to foist Socialist labor party
principals on the trade unionist. This
attempt to indorse Socialism should
be condemned. The business of the poll
ltictan has no place in this convention.
Mr.. Foster did not know but what
he would vote for George H. Wrenn for
governor, but he would not permit, if
his voice prevailed, any Endorsement
of Socialism through any subterfuge,
no matter what the guise of the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Goldstein who introduced the res
olution was within two years a member.
of party that sought the destruction
of the trade union movement The de-
bate became acrimonious, when the
pronounced Socialistic element crossed
swords with the trade-unionist faction
and comments were bitter The great
er part of the afternoon was spent in
the debates between the factions and
only few other resolutions wre con-
sidered befOe adjournment

Brooklyn to the southwark and away
from the fight. 1t was the words to
that extent that I characterized as
lying in that colluquy unless a man
stuck to the verbal correctness of the
word. So I did not characterize the
paper as a liar for printing that col
loquy."
Lieutenant Commander Hodgson be-
ing excused, Commander Wainwright
was called. Captain Lemly began his
examination by drawing from the wit
ness the fact that he had been a mem
Der, and later the senior member of
the board which had officially acted in
making the chart, showing the posi-
lions of the American and Spanish
ships at Santiago. The witness told
how conclusions were reached by that
board.
He said: when 1 reported, as Sc
nior member of the board the board
of navigators had a sketch chart before
them with the number of positions
sketched on it, which had been deter
mined by them, starting at different
points, first when the ships came out
and afterwards when they went ashore.
Each navigator as near as possible,
would put the position of his ship at
that time. Then there was a great
deal of discussion as to the relative po-
sitions. OF course it was impossible to
get any position by bearings. We
also knew that the distances in the
chart were somewhat incorrect. The
impossibility of getting bearings even
If we had had a correct chart was aP-
parent, but it gave a general idea of
the positions of the vessels during the
different periods of the battle.
Mr. RaVnOr asked if If were true as
had been officially stated in the report
that the positions were assigned from
known bearings?"
The witness replied that the state
ment was incorrect; that they were es-
tablished by estimated bearings.
Asked by Mr.. Raynor about the
places assigned to the Brooklyn and
the Texas, while the former vessel was
making her loop, Commander Vain
wright said he did not consider them
correct. For myself" he said, Il was
never satisfied with the places as
signed" He said further that while
the board had done the best it could
as a board it had not done the best il
could to satisfy any member of the
board.
1T was the best we could do to get
all the members of the board to sign
the report" he said.
"Who. in addition to yourself. was
not satisfied asked Mr.. RaynOr.
81 would not like to say" responded
the witness.
ct know that the navigator of the
Texas was not, for one. think no one
was satisfied except the navigator o.
the Brooklyn, and I don't know that hs
was"
But knowing you were all, includ-
ing the navigator of the Brooklyn, dis
satisfied, you signed the report?"
THAT is correct

SARGEANT WOMAN IS
REMANDED TO TOMBS

New York, Oct S-Emma Sergeant,
who says she is a maid to a member
of THE Christian" company, now play
ing in Worcester, Mass. was ar
raigned before Judge Cowing in Gen
eraI Sessions Court this morning to
answer the charge of petty larceny.
She formerly lived in West Orange, N.
j., and more recently in this city.
Assistant District Attorney Train,
representing the state alleged that she
had a systematic way of swindling the
merchants of this city by passing
worthless checks. In this case the
woman was charged with having pre-
scented a check to the firm of Stern
Bros, drawn on the Peoples bank of
East Orange, N. J., for $12 and dated
Dec. 20, 1899, which check was worth
less.
Mr.. Train in his opening argument,
cited a number more of alleged vic
tins and said that at Siegel, Cooper &
Co.'S store the woman passed two
checks amounting to S2S, which he said
were worthless, and then presented an
other check for $50 which she asked the
manager to cash, at the same time, ask
ing him to deduct the amount of the
two alleged worthless checks.
CaSnler Young OF stern Bros, IeStl-
fed as to the passing of the alleged
worthless check and Spencer S. Marsh,
assistant cashier of the East Orange
bank, swore that the woman did not
have an account at the bank on Dec
cember 10, 1899.
Robert S. Leach, a former superin-
/ tendent of Stern Bros. testified of a
! transaction the woman is alleged to
have had at that store on Dec. 9, 1899,
when she is alleged to have passed a
worthless check for SIG.
Counsel for the defendent put in no
defense. simply arguing that the pros
ecution had not made proper identifica-
ton. The jury convicted the woman
of the charge and she was remanded
to the Tombs until Friday for sentence.
The prisoner gave her age as AZ years
and said she lived in Harlem. There
are three other indictments against the
woman.

FORBES GETS DECISION
OVER OSCAR GARDNER

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. S.-Clarence
Forbes got the decision over Oscar
Gardner tonight in the ninth round of
what was scheduled as 20 round go.
Gardner made a poor showing.
At no stage of the contest did Card
ner make a good stand, being apparent
ly in poor condition. Forbes, on the
other hand, was shifty on his feet and
landed at will.
In the fifth round Forbes knocked
Gardner down. From that time the
result of the contest was never in
doubt, it being only a question of how
long Gardner could endure the punish
ment. After two minutes of the ninth
round Tommy Ryan. who acted as ref
cree, stopped the fight to save Gard
ner from further punishment.

LIBERALS ATTACK MORO
ISLAND IN COLOMBIA

Colon, Colombia, Oct. S.-Previous
cabling of this matter prevented.
A forceof Liberals numbering at
least $50 attacked MORO Island, COM
handing the entrance to the port of
Tumaco, Sept. "a. The island had all
along been garrisoned with fewer than
100 troops, well supplied with arms,
ammunition and commissary stores,
including more than $50 head of cattle
and other provisions in proportion.
The landing was effected before day
break by means of canoes. Simultan-
eously the. island was stormed from
the other end by Liberals on the main
land.
MORO Island is surrounded by shall
low sand banks and the only means
of approaching Tumaco is by the mar
row river, which is within easy range
Of the island.
The British steamer Quito, bound
form Guayaquil, Ecuador, for Panama,
and touching at ports between, an
chored. off Moro Island on the night
of Sept. 26 and, weighing anchor at
daybreak. started up the stream to-
ward Tumaco. The Liberals fired a
shot across her bows.
Suspecting the situation, she i'm
mediately turned, but rifle shots and
one cannon continued to be fired at
her, the former striking her several
times and the latter once, the ball
making a hole right through her
above the water mark, though the
damage in other respects was slight
The Quito then steamed to the far
thest point the tide would permit and
again anchored. The firing was now
resumed, but it ceased after a few
minutes, the Liberals having discov-
cred the imprudence of their action
1t is significant that shortly after
the Quito incident became known, the
British warship Icarus left Panama
for a destination not made public, but
presumably Tumaco.
The steamship agents have been
officially notified not to accept freight
at that port. The situation on the
isthmus lis unchanged and quiet.

ton to the fact that the New York had
made 16 or II knots on the day of the
battle. In response to questions from
Captain Parker he said the New York
had not had her engines coupled on the
day of battle and that the Brooklyn
had made all the speed necessary.
After Lieut.. Dyson was excused
Lieut.. Commander Hodgson was re
called for the purpose of correcting
errors in his testimony as printed in
the official record. He took occasion
to change some of the language of his
previous testimony. One of these
changes was made in response to the
questions asked yesterday as to why he
had designated as "a liar and black
guard" the editor Of a newspaper when
had originally printed the alleged col
lequy between himself and Commodore

and Duchess of Cornwall and York
| babe farewell to the West today and
are once more speeding Eastward on
their special train. They will reach
| the lakes tomorrow and on Thursday
afternoon will be in Toronto, where
an elaborate program for their recep-
ton and entertainment has been ar
ranged. The duke and duchess met
again at Poplar Point this evening.
The duchess arrived from the West

from the hunting lodge of Senator
Kirschhoffer in the afternoon. He had
been expected in the morning, but had
found the game so plenty and enjoyed
the shooting so much that he tarried
until the last possible moment. Pop
lar Point is in the centre of the great
Manitoba wheat belt, and an exhibit
ton of threshing was given for the
benefit of the royal party.
A threshing outfit, drawn by large
traction engine, was brought into
action close to the depot and placed
beside an immense stack of sheafed
wheat. The engine was quickly fired
and thresher put in motion. The
duchess stood very close to the thresh-
er and guest of wind brought the
mass of chaff down on her head and
shoulders. She raised her parasol in
defense and laughingly retreated.
The duke reached Poplar Point at
3.45 o'clock, accompanied by Lord
Mimic and others who had formed his
hunting party. He was very proud of
his bag of game and expressed the
greatest pleasure over his hunting ex-
perience. His game was placed aboard
the train and he will have the hunters
pleasure of having birds for his table
shot by himself
The royal special reached Winnipeg
at 30 and made a stop of half an
hour, during which the duke and
duchess visited the flour mills. A
crowd of several thousand gathered
about. the depot and cheered the royal
couple as they left their car and again
when they returned.

Wainwright said that in making the
chart all the members of the board
were at liberty to contribute whatever
data they had, or make whatever ar
guments they might desire. He also
said that the chart was a compromise
of opinions. In response to further
questions, the witness said he did not
see the Brooklyn on the day of the bat
tie off Santiago.
Commander Wainwright was then
excused, and Lieutenant M. L. Bristol,

Speaking of the blockade at Cienfue-
gos he said that during the day the
ships lay from five to ten miles from the
shore, steaming in nearer at night,
then going farther out and returning
nearer at day break He observed, he
said, the signal lights on the shore
near Cienfuegos but did not under
stand their significance. With respect
to coaling he said that on one occasion

SIX COACHES WORKED
HARD AT NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Oct. Six coaches
worked with spirit today, sending the
first and second teams through two
lively halves of Is minutes each and
working out the third and fourth teams.
The whole squad was drilled in run
ming down the field under kicks and in
catching the ball Lamentably weak
was the exhibition put UP in catching
the ball by most of the backs. The
tendency to tumble the leather is very
marked this year.
The varsity scored once in each of the
periods by hard rushing. The defense
was strong when the scrubs had the
ball They were not able to advance
the ball except on the varsity's fumbles.
