IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO CONE UP

Scranton, Pa. Dec. 9.-Notwith-
standing that yesterday was Sunday,
many of the delegates to the conven-
tiOn of the American Federation of La
| bor did not cease their activity, the
day being given up 10 the transaction
of committee business. \ majority OF
the committees organized and not a
| few of them took up questions that
Will engage the attention of the con
vcntiOn during the coming week. The
executive council went into session
early and did not adjourn until long
afternoon. The session was secret and
nothing was given out for publication.
After dinner some members of the eX-
cVutive committee and the fraternal
delegates from Great Britain and Can
ada We're given a sleigh ride through
the mining region by the local enter
tainment committee.
One OF the Busy Men.
One of the busiest men among the
delegates was W. ID. Mahon. of De
trOit, president of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway En-
ployeS. He was in frequent confer
ence during the morning with local la-
bor leaders who are directing the street
car strike in this city. 1t is probable
fhat Mahon and President Mitchell, of
the mine workers. viii be delegated
by the executive council To take charge
o" theS trile. Later in the day Il dele
CATION from the Allied Building Trades
of Philadelphia, arrived here and had
an interview with MahOn on the street
railway situation in that city. where
strike is said to be among the prOba-
bilities of the near future.
One of the Vital Questions.
What is looked upon by many Of the
delegates as the most vital question
that viii come before thee onventiOn
is that of trade autonomy. The brew
cry Owrkmen and the mine workers
delegates probably Will be the storm
center on this question. Both of these
trade unions want industrial auton-
cmy-that is. they advocate that all
trades in one Industrial establishment
should form one organization for the
better advancement of the condition
of all. They also announce that they
will oppose trade autonomy to the bit
ter end. because under the system Il
handful of men can throw hundreds
out of work by striking.
Convention Il Duly Organized.
The convention completed its organ
izatiOn Saturday and the real work of

official roll shows the presence of 312
delegates. the largest number in the

THE RIGHT OF WAY
Is What the Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty Seems to Have
in the Senate.
1T MAY co TROUGH THIS WEEK
No Serious Opposition ProbabIe-Fig-
ures and Facts from the Mint
Capital Items.

Washington, Dec. 0.-The only meas
ure OF Importance which the senate
has on its calendar for the present
week is the new Hay-PauncefOte Mica
ragua canal treaty. Acting for the
committee on foreign relations Lodge
will ask the senate to go into executive
session today for the consideration of
the treaty, and each day thereafter
until the convention is disposed Of 1t
can be said that at this time the pros.
pect is very strong that the treaty will
be rallied, and ii now looks as if this
result would be secured after compara-
lively little delay. There will be some
debate and some features Of the docu-
ment will be criticised as undesirable.
but there is no probability of captious
opposition.
No Sign of Desire to Defeat.
The criticism will be along the lines
Indicated by Money and Bacon in the
committee on foreign relations at its
meeting on Friday last No senator
thus far. however. has shown a dis
position to carry his objections to the
point Of ultimate effort 40 defeat rati-
ficatiOn. The principal authors Of the
criticism of the treaty are southern
senators. who are generally very anX-
iOus for the construction of the canal.
They find that all canal Legislation Will
bc tied up until action can be secured
on the treaty, and they are on this &c
count less liable than they otherwise
would be to do anything to delay ac-
tiCn upon the treaty itself.
May BE Ratified This Week.
The most active friends of the treaty
now claim that ratification will be Sc
cured during the present week, and
the opinion is very general that rati-
fcatiOn will be obtained before the
Christmas holidays. Beyond the con-
of the treaty very little bust
ness Will be undertaken before the
holidays. 1t is now generally agreed
that the question Of reciprocity will go
over until January, probably without
so much as being mentioned, and it
ntay bc added that from being for 4
time the subject most likely TO at
tract early attention. it has taken
position among the matters which will
not be vigorously urged.

and accusing her of having violated
the customs of civilized warfare by
the forcible confiscatiOn or destruc-

peaceful inhabitants of the territory

The resolutions call on the presi-

can ports and waters he henceforth
denied to vessels operating under

BIG CHICAGO MEETING
Bourke Cochran and
Others Tell Duty of
This Country.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-"The price which
England must pay for the destruc-
ton of republican government in
South Africa is the destruction of
her own constitution
The tremendous applause which
greeted this statement by W. Bourke
Cochran. the New York orator. at
the Auditorium last night had scare
ly subsided when the audience which
filed the house from pit to balcony
and left a fringe of persons stand
ing back of the seats on the main
floor, was thrust into wild enthusi-
asm by the further declaration by
Mr.. Cochran that he believed this
calamity could be averted by inter
vention by the United States-not
armed Intervention, but interven-
English people.
Mr.. Cochran asserted that had
England not been deluded into the
belief that the American people ap-
proved the South African war il
would have been impossible to per-
suade the English people TO indorse
the contest. The struggle. he said.
could not have been maintained for
three months if the United States
had not permitted its ports 70 be
used for the shipment of mules.
horses. munitions of war and food
for the English soldiers in the field.
How to Terminate 1t.
Mr.. Cochran had for his subject:
What This Republic Can Do to
Terminate the War on the South AZ
rican Republics" In concluding his
speech he said that word from
President Roosevelt to the English
government that the people Of this
country viewed with abhorrcncc the
war IN South Africa would have the
q if,.ct Of establishing peace where
starvation and carnage now exist.
NJ word, ne said from the prcsi-
dent of this republic could induce
the Beers to yield. but one word
from President Roosevelt would in
nucncc the English government to
briug the war to a close. He declar-
Ell that the Beers could never be con
qucrcd by force of arms.
The speaker saw danger To- the |
Monroe doctrine i'm the action of |
Canada in sending troops to- South /
Africa. for, he said. henceforth this.
country VIII Unu ntHlculiN III inter /
fcring if at any time foreign pow
cr invaded the dominion. He thought /
the most beneficial change that |
could be made in The map of the |
world would be the annexation of |
Canada To the United States. but he 1
said that he would not have such an /
act consummated with the aid of /
the sword.
After the speechmaking Clarence /
