MITCHELL
President and other Omcers Of
United Mine Workers Chosen
for Another Term.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. rs. = The
delegates showed signs of getting
down to real work at the opening ses-
sion of the U. NJ. w. convention in
Tomlinson hall Friday.
There were no other candidates for
these Offices and the entire ballot Of
the convention was cast by the sec
rotary for them. The only opposition
was in the form of a communication
sent up TO the secretary after the
ballot had been cast, protesting
against the unanimous election of T.
L. Lewis, as vice president. The pro-
test came from the delegate from To-
cal union No. $40 in Ohio, the state
that Vice President Lewis comes
from, and was not read to the con-
vention.
The protest was regarded by the
officers to whose notice it came as
not worthy of official or formal rec
ognition.
After the three principal officers
had been chosen, voting began on
the election of delegates to the ma
tional meeting of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and on the choice
of members of the auditing and ere
dentials committee.
The convention adopted a resolution
appropriating $500 to the national Nc
Kinley memorial fund after a pro-
longed discussion.

HoBSoN ORDERED ON DUTY.
Naval Board Refuses to Retire Him
ON Claim That His Eyes Were
Injured.

Washington, Jan. 25.-A naval re-
firing board has declined to recon-
ment the retirement of Capt. Rich
mond P. Hobson. He has complained
of his eyes, which suffered from heat
and glare while he was working on
the Spanish vessels sunk at Santiago,
and afterward in the drydock at
Hong-Kong, where two vessels of the
Spanish fleet sunk by Dewey were re-
paired. Since return to the United
States from the east Capt. Hobson
has been on detached duty, first at
Buffalo in connection with the late
exposition there, and now at Charles
ton in charge of a department of the
naval exhibit.
Capt. Hobson himself applied to
be retired, but the board of physi-
clans which examined him found that
his eyes were not permanently in
jured and refused to recommend his
retirement. He has been ordered to
return to duty in connection with
the Charleston exposition.

planned. He begged the subcommit-
tee of the Louisville reception COM

see the admiral were received. They
asked that the admiral appear on the
platform IL only for a moment.

USED BITTER WORDS
Philippine Debate Is Productive of
Much Acrimony.

Washington, Jan. 29.-A Philippine
storm was central in the senate
chamber Tuesday for nearly three
hours, but was void of definite re-
suits. At times it looked very seri-
Gus, and the spectators who thronged
the galleries watched it with breath
less interest. Aerimony in senate de-
bates is not infrequent, but old sena-
tors say it has been years since there
has beer such a hurricane of bitter
vituperation, of personal taunt, of
ugly charges and of unmodifed criti-
cism as was witnessed Tuesday. Not
since the discussion of the resolutions
leading up to the Hispano-Ameriean
war have any cenes occurred in the
senate comparable with Tuesday.
Even that debate lacked the personal
bitterness manifested at times. Irri-
tation was aroused on both sides of
the chamber, and once or twice per-
sonal encounters between senators
seemed imminent.
