DAMAGING EVIDENCE
Against the Officers of the Lost
Steamer Islander.

Victoria, b. G., Sept. 26.-Evfdence of
rather sensational character was
brought out at the inquiry into the loss
Of the steamer Islander. which has been
resumed. DIR. A. W. Phillips, who lost
his wife and daughter in the disaster,
said he could find no life preseryers in
his stateroOm, and when he did find
them in the cabin there was nobody to
assist or instruct them how to put
them on He was not aroused and
only went out because his wife heard
noise and was uneasy When they
reached the deck all the boats and
RATS had left, and they were drawn
down with the boat. He came to the
surface again and his wife and daugh-
ter did not.
w. G. Preston. Of Seattle testified
that the boat in which he left the ship
only contained Il persons, one of whom
was a fireman They did not pick up
others, as the boat was leaking and
they were not oarsrnen. The only in
dication that the captain was intoxi-
Gated was his action in waving a fare
well to some friends on the wharf at
Skagway with his hands and his &C
lions in an argument. No one seemed
to have charge of the boats but when
he left the steamer there seemed to be
no more passengers to take away 1t
took the men about two minutes to
lower a boat. They did not seem to
understand it, In one boat there were
only seven men, and they all looked like
members of the crew, one of them hav-
ing a uniform on. He judges they were
members of the crew because they had
rough clothes on They may have been
laborers or miners. No one aroused the
passengers and no one ordered the
boats to stand by. He heard a man
at the inquest at Juneau give evidence
to the effect that the pilot was drunk,
and his wife remarked as he came
aboard the ship at Skagway that he
looked as though he had been drinking
Mrs. Preston testified that the captain
looked as though he had been drink
ing.
Captain Macleod, Of the steamer
Danube. testified that when running
north and thinking there was ice pres
ent ne keeps a lookout, and when the
weather is thick two lookouts Boat
drills, he said, are not generally prac-
tieed on this coast.
Mace Green, Of Tacoma, swore posi-
lively that the captain and pilot were
intoxicated. The captain was at the
bar for two hours, he said, and he had
seen him take two drinks.

the United Mine Workers of America.

continues:
There is no doubt in our minds the
statements referred to were made by
YOU, and assuming this to be 50, We be
lieve that you should be Afforded the
amplest opportunity of demonstrating
the truth of your charges and insinu-
ations SO that If they are founded on
fact the world may know it. We be-
HeNe that you should be afforded the
fullest latitude in justifying your state
ments and your charges. and at the
same time pilln-y us ife we deserve it.
On the other hand. you Will realize the
impOssibility OF our allowing your
charges and iusinuations to go broad
cast and stand unanswered and unchal-
lenged.
Having due regard for our duty
toward the la Dor movement and the in
terests committed to our care. we have
no desire to enter into controversy
through the newspapers, and have
therefore declined to say anything
about the matter to the representa- ves
of the press who have importuned US to
answer. But, repeating that we believe
it to be necessary that your charges
and insinuations should be substanti-
ated or refuted, to that end We submit
the following to you:
First that a. committee of three
shall meet either in Pittsburg, Wash
ington, or the city of New York for the
purpose of hearing and determining the
charges and insinuatiOns you have
made against us.
Second, that if the committee finds
US guilty of your charges and insinu-
ations we viii resign from the presl-
dency of the American Federation Of
Labor and the vice presidency OF the
Cigarmakers' union; from the presi-
dency of the United Mine Workers of
America and from the second vice pres
idency OF the American Federation of
Labor.
Third. that the committee shall con
sist of three members of organizd labor

that the writer's have carefully omitted
the executive council of the american
Federation of Labor or any representa-
tive Of any organization of which any
member of the council is a member.
The letter concludes thus.
I'VE cannot imagine that you would
make grave accusations against US
without generalization as to their con-
sequences: we therefore insist that in
common justice to us and with due re-
gard to the interests which both you

of our proposition.

Held

The record Of the first day of Joint
cases in the district court shows honors
easy. The prosecution won case and
the defense was victorious in one.
The jury in the George Klauer case
stayed out four hours before they
agreed that KIauer was guilty of main
tanning a nuisance. Before the jury left
the box Judge Hazen informed them
that they could not bring in a verdict
for lack of evidence. The jury finally
decided he was guilty. While the
Klauer jury was celebrating the court
went to work on Al Hayslip and Fred
Ross, charged with keeping a gambling
house The arrests were made in jan
uary, and the evidence was that there
was gambling house. but Judge

clerk. 1t was repeated to him twice,
and then he said SON ething in an in

explained what was meant by the ques-
ton.

The next is have you good cause to Of

against sentence being pronounced.

Il have nothing to say about that, !"
was the reply.
Justice Titus asked that the prisoner be
allowed to say something in exculpa-
ton of his crime.
The prisoner began to speak. His
response was SO low he could scarcely
be heard. Judge Titus was Obliged to
repeat it sentence by sentence so that
the court might hear.
Il have nothing to say, whispered
CzOlgosz to his counsel.
Judge Titus: Il think he ought to be
permitted to make a statement in ex-
culpation of his family"
Timing to the prisoner again Judge
Titus held a brief conference. Turning
to the court, counsel for the defendant
said:
He says no other person had any
thing to do with it; that no other per-
son knew of his commission but him
self. His father or mother or no one
else knew any thing about it.
The prisoner closed his lips, stared
straight ahead of him and awaited the
courts pronouncement of his DOOM
THE SENTENCE
The sentence was brief.
*Czolgosz,' said the court, you have
committed a grave crime against the
state and our union in the assassination
of our beloved president. After learn
ing all the facts and circumstances in
the case Y good men have pronounced
you guilty of murder in the first degree.
You say that no other person allotted
you in the commission of this terrible
act The penalty is fixed by statute
and it becomes my duty to impose SEN
tence upon you. The sentence of this
tober %, at the place designated and
in the manner prescribed by law, you
suffer the punishment of death
Czolgosz stood erect, looking straight
at the judge. He did not tremble; not
a muscle quivered- As soon as the death
sentence was finished he took his seat
in the same Indifferent manner that has
characterized him throughout the trial
He was brought to his feet quickly by
the officers at 2:20. They shackled him
and led him away to the Jail, while the
crowd surged after them.
Sheriff Caldwell was asked if he was
ready to take the prisoner to Auburn.
You may say that no one bat those
who will act as guards and myself viii
know the time of departure. Even the
guards will not be notified until the
last moment. The moment the prisoner
is sentenced he passes into my hands,
and from that time until he is deliv-
cred at Auburn it viii not be possible
to learn about the assassin's move

BIC RAIL ORDERS.
Capacity Of the Steel Rail Mills
at Chicago
Taken Up Till the Middle of the
Coming Year.
ENDING OF EHE STRIKE
Has Been Followed by Renewed
Activity i'm All Lines.
Consumption Of Iron Still Main
tanning Its Level.

Cleveland. O., Sept 26.-The Iron
Trade Review discussing market con-
ditions this week says.
THE transactions Of the week indi-
cate sustained and widespread activity
in iron and steel. with advances in
prices of some materials and a frmer
market in the case Of others
Considerable purchases have been
made in the past week from Valley fur
naces and it is estimated that 10000 to
10000 tons were taken by the leading
interests, not to mention upwards Of
10000 tons of basic iron. These pur-
ehases in addition to some made by
other steel companies probably bring
the total of the weeks transactions in
steel making pig iron in the valleys and
Pittsburg to go, 600 tons. The price paid
for bessemer iron was $15.25 at Valley
furnaces, about rs cents higher than
quotations made in the recent period
Of quietness in bessemer iron.
The maintenance Of the $15-25 basis
is significant of the disposition OF large
interests to have the present level OF
prices preserved. There are evidences
that consumption is keeping up to the
remarkable level that earlier in the
year seemed to be the elimination of
the activity starting in the late sum
mer of 1900.
Allowing for the appearance of ex-
traorainary activity that has followed
the ending of the steel strike in the sim
infamous efforts of many buyers to get
their orders in early, there are sufficient
data to warrant confidence in a strong
market we'll into next year.
Thus far only guesses have been
made of the tonnage Of standard sec
ton rails booked for next year. Under
the lead of important lines contracting
has been going on steadily and the con
ditions of the mills may be inferred
from the statement that in the Chicago
district the rail capacity is taken up
tn tha middle of uaxt war
