unfavorable. State superintendent

ty Of Robson, that eff people of means
do not in that section obey the Scrip

While no definite 2ction was taken by

concensus Of opinion of the committee
is in favor of giving every possible
encouragement TO an inter continental

The practical action which TIE COM

all of the American nations are to be
represented and which will keep the
project alive by preventing it from fail
ing again into allegiance; secondly. to
empower Senator Devils to interest
American capital in The project to the
extent that may be necessary; thirdly,
to secure a pledge from the interested
governments of substantial aid TO the
project, either in the form Of pecuniary
subsidy or lands for c~olonization; and
fourthly. to pledge the more prosperous
countries to- aid the construction Of 2
railroad through such Of the American
countries as might not be able, on ac-
count Of the condition of their fnaE-
ces, to do their share Of work unaidet,.
The committee on Pan-American

CLEANING AND

Incidentally The Messenger lately re-
ferred to the rather doubtful character
of that celebrated and powerful states
man. of British blood and birth, Alex
ander Hamilton. He was much abused
in his time, but it is not difficult to
make out a strong case against him.
We fine in a recent number Of the New
York Saturday Review an article sign
ed William S. Stone. and dated Mount
Vernon. N. Y. October 18th. 1901. From
it we take the following:
Nov, while not desiring to take up
the cudgels' either for Hamilton or
Burr. for the former of whom 1 have
as a statesman the greatest admira-
tion,) yet 1 would like to ask Gertrude
Atherton if she does not consider a
lack of personal purity 'mud?' Now,
if she will recall the pamphlet which
Hamilton wrote in reply to an attack
accusing him of populations while sec
rotary of the treasury, Certified, 'Obser-
vations on Certain Documents Con-
tanned in No. ". and VI. of The History
of the United States for the yea 1896.

ed, written by himself. Philadelphia:
Printed for John Fenno. by John Bfer-
en-, 1779.O she will find that, by his own
admission, he was very far from
pure. 3 = = One word more: Of
course, as every student of our politi-
cal history knows, Hamilton's pamphlet
vas called forth because he had rather
be considered a recreant to his marriage
vows than a Speculator with the funds

The Mormons have made considerable
inroads into the south. North Carroll

stated to be a fact that "Universalism"

A northern publication states their
churches now number about 1000 in

seems to be specially vigorous at the

LAWSON Their PREY
Standard Oil Men Said to Seek
Copper Kings Ruin.

Boston, Dec. "a crisis has been
reached in the great copper war, and
that the struggle between Thomas W.
Lawson and the men who are opposing
him will be to a finish is now certain.
With his various shares pounded down
to the lowest figures yet recorded Sat
urday, Lawson weathered the storm,
but what his fate will be to-day no one
can predict. The forces fighting Law
son are said to he the Standard Oil in
terests, but whether or not this is so
it is certain that men connected with
the big company are leaders in the
raids on the Lawson stocks. That they
will continue their efforts to bankrupt
him to-day is assured.
Mr.. Lawson himself, the storm CEN
ter OF this battle Of millions, is conf
dent as ever. He insists he still holds
mis- original 100000 shares in AmaIga-
mated Copper and will continue to
hold them in the face Of all attacks.
Much anxiety prevails regarding the
outcome of tO-day's struggle, many
predicting that the noted tnancier.
yacht builder, race horse owner and
copper king is near ruin. Friends OF
Lawson deny this and predict that he
will rout his foes yet and make their
attack on him an expensive affair.
Mr.. Lawson on October 10 gave out
statement that he held more thai
lac, 900 shares of Amalgamated Copper
stock. on which he had paper losses
of more than S4OOO.OOO. At that time
the stock was under 90. Taking Mr.
Lawson's own figures, that he still
had all his 100000 shares, he has los
"on paper" fully $3,5OO,OOO since hi
gave his statement out, in addition &c
the $4,000, 900 actual money loss and
81, OOO, 900 paper loss" he admitted
then.
Total Decline Is S31 .OOO.O 900.
That losses, however, to spectators
in Amalgamated Copper stock upon
| margins have been enormous is un-
doubtedly true. There is $155,00o,0O0
par value of the stock, and within two
weeks there has been a drop of 20
| points, or shrinkage in the market
value of $31,OOO,O00. Lawson's pet
stock, Trinity, which sold at Al a few
months ago, was hammered down to
ten Saturday, he being too busy de-
! Tending his Amalgamated holdings to
offer any support to Trinity.
Rumors that Lawson had failed
were industriously circulated on the
exchanges at New York, Chicago and
Boston, but he declares his ability to
carry the fight to the end and win
with money to spare.
Lawson asserts that the attacks on
him come from Wall street CLIQUE
inspired by personal animosity. He
says his building of the yacht indie
pendence as a candidate for defender
Of the America cup brought upon him
the enmity Of New York Yacht club
members who are powers in finance.

A DAY OF RESOLUTIONS.
The American Federation of Labor
Adopts Many Recommended
tiOns offered.

Scranton, Pa. Dec. 1O.-The COM
mittee on resolutions engaged the at
tention of the American Federation
of Labor at Monday mornings ses4
sion. The committee reported a num-
Der of resolutions, and the delegates
Immediately proceeded to consider
them.
These resolutions were adopt
ed: Petitioning congress to amend
the marine laws so that every seaman
shall have the right to quit any mer-
chant vessel on which the service has
become obnoxious to him; also to
prohibit the towing on the oceans of
gigantic RATS.
The committee on labels reported
the following resolutions, which were
adopted by the convention: That the
federation refuse to recognize labels
gotten up by rival unions of the To-
bacco Workers international union;
reindorsing the blue label of the To-
bacco Workers union; that the fed
era ton draw up form of obligation
that will instruct all new members to
demand the union label wherever
they purchase manufactured goods;
iudorsing the union stamp of the
International Union of Journeymen
IIorseshoers and indorsing the label
of the Actors National Protective
union.
A resolution boycotting cigars
made by child labor and machinery
caused a long discussion. Many dele
gates opposed the word machinery"
maintaining that the federation
could not successfully oppose the in
PRODUCTION of machinery. They advo-
Gated the organization of operators
of the machines like those who oper-
ate type-setting machines. The reso-
luton with the word machinery
stricken out was adopted.
Some business of a purely routine
nature was disposed of and the con-
vention then adjourned until nine
o'clock Tuesday morning. This was
done to allow the several committees
to give delegates a hearing on reso-
Iutions that have been referred to
them for Consideration.
Every one of the 16 committees put in
busy afternoon and evening. There
are many delegates here with griev'
ances, and they were fully heard by
the committees. The question OF
Jurisdiction in several trades came NJ
before the committee on law, and the
resolutions committee heard argu'
ments on trade and industrial auton'
omy. The executive council also held
a session in the afternoon and dis
posed OF some odds and ends of bust
ness still demanding its attention. The
committees sessions are held behint
closed doors, hut the decisions in the
matters brought before II viii be re
ported to the convention later in the
week.
