Labor President Denies Being scored
in Philadelphia.

Samuel Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor denies
most emphatically the report published in
an out of town newspaper that he was
scored at a recent meeting OF the
Labor League at Philadelphia.
He says that with Frank Morrison and
James O'Connell, respectively secretary
and first vice president of the American
Federation of Labor he attended meet
ing Of the league, at which the differences
between two organization of hatters was
discussed. During the course of a rum
ming debate a delegate named Nelson,
who, Mr.. Gompers states, is a newspa-
per reporter, accused him of allowing the
American Federation of Labor te be rur
by a clique. and said that a "mach,ne
was at work and had arranged VIII
should go as delegates to the next con
vention," meaning the annual meet ~ on
the federation.
When asked by Mr. Gompers for his -
thority for the statement Nelson replied
that he got the information in his ca
pacity as a newspaper man. and would
not divulge the names of the persons
from whom he received ii. Mr.. Gompers
stated that Nelson has no right to make
accusations based on Information he al
Ieges he obtained as reporter. and then

stated by Mr.. Gompers. was an aspirant
for the honor of representing the Ameri-

Trades Council. in England and when he
discovered that he would not be success
full in the race withdrew from the con-
test.

on such an important matter. Mr.. Comp
ers further stated that Nelson no doubt
was very much disappointed in not being
selected to represent the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor at the British Trades
Council, but added that he thought that
no cause why the newspaper man should
make false accusations. and when called
to task for them fall back his pro-
fession as defence. So far as the Labor
League is concerned, Mr.. Gompers states

THREATS OF A STRIKE MADE.
Trenton. n. J., Builders Demand an
Efght-Hour Day

TRENTON, n. J., March 3l.-A strike
affecting 2.0O0 men in builders trades in
this city has been ordered to begin to-
morrow morning. The strike is to include
masons, bricklayers, plasterers, laborers,
stone masons. and carpenters.
The men demand an eight-hour day in
stead of nine hours. as at present. with
no reduction in wages. The master builders
assert that the demand is made primarily
for the benefit of the unemployed and
argue that to grant the request would
cause a depression in the trade by fore
ing them to raise the price on contracts
The threatened strike is regarded
rather seriously here.

NOTHING BUT THIEVERY.
Pnitive Expeditions at lekin Are Not
Warfare.

New York, Jan. "A dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin, says:
The punitive expeditions of the powers
prove to have been simply looting par
ties. Lieut.. Colonel Wint of the Sixth
cavalry met the Germans at Tang Hin,
where the latter had taxed the villagers
4,000 taels 7oO) and one hundred pony
loads of furs as punishment for the al
legged murder of maginary Christians. He
had express orders from General Chat
fee to cooperate with the Germans, but
withdrew.
The ulterior motive and object of the
Germans in reducing the province to a
defenseless condition ai.d in destroying
the last vestage of Chinese authority is
apparent, but why the American force
should be ordered to assist in the work
is not cleaar.

TRY TO KEEP THE DOR OPEN,
Powers Likely to Agree to American
Demands.

New York, Jan. 3.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
In the commercial treaty to be ne
gotiated by the powers with China,
provision will be inserted, if this gov
ernment can encompass it, formally
recognizing the principles Of the "open
door,"
This important step will not be sur
prise to the powers, all Of which have
expressed themselves as in favor Of the
preservation of the ''open door, and it
is believed that there will be no open
opposition in the proposal when made.
At the same time it would not surprise
the officials should some of the powers
urge that each nation make an indie
pendent convention with the imperial
government, thus securing opportunity
to obtain special advantages. This dam
ger has not been lost sight of by the
administration, which will urge that
but one treaty be made, and that in the
nature of a reiteratio of many of the
features of the old treaty, with such ad
ditions. including the open door propo-
sition, as may seem desirable.
In q dispatch received from Pekin,
Minister Conger explained that an
agreement between the foreign powers
themselves over uniform settlement
with China would be the most difficult
to solve and most productive of delay.
The Chinese ENJOYS, he said. had
stated that their government was able
to guarantee compliance with the con-
ditions imposed in the preliminary
agreement Germany may raise the
question whether the punishment of the
Boxer leaders is sufficiently severe, but
this is not likely TO interfere with the
conclusion of the negotiations.
Mr.. Conger takes a hopeful view of
the situation, though he says he expects
delay in the settlement of the indemnity
and commercial treaty questions.

vexatious things which the miners had
to contend with this year was the in
termnable squabbles over claims. The
overflow Of miners from the klondike
struck us last spring and settled on
claims already staked. In some cases
they would rename creeks and drive
new stakes. and the original owners
have been fighting thousands of these
cases in the court all the year. The
gold output for 1900 would have been
much larger but for this. The beach
claims at and near Nome have been
worked out, bur back on the creeks
there is an unlimited amount of gold.

Nobody in his sane mind ever

the railways into great Organization
to control the commerce of the country.
