1ts spirit shown In the Adoption Of .
Resolution Against sociailsm-The
Resolutions Adopted.

Cincinnati, Aug. 16,-The Interna.
tional Typographical union, which
has been in session here all week,
has disposed Of over 300 propositions
for changes in its laws, as well as
many resolutions. Among the reso-
lutions defeated were those in rela-
ton to political idea1ism. A hard
fight was made to have committee
of nine appointed to report at the
next convention the relations Of
wages to taxation. It was strongly
advocated by the single tax men, but
overwhelmingly defeated.
The spirit Of the convention was
most emphatically shown in the
adoption Of a resolution against So
cialism. Max Hayes, Of Cleveland,
had been elected as q delegate of
the international Typographical
union to the next convention Of the
American Federation Of Labor and
delegates claim that they did not
know he was socialist until after
he was elected and for this reason a
strong resolution Of instructions
was adopted.
Resolutions we're adopted for the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote Of the people; TOR public
ownership Of public utilities and the
adjustment Of all explorations; for
trade autonomy; for union labels on
everything; for union-made school
books; putting ban on Cincinnati
and Boston beer; asking congress to
appropriate $4,000 for a statue for
Amos J. Cummings at Washington;
against single tax and against So
called government by injunction"
The agitation over the organiza-
ton Of the international Ladies' aux
iliary has been going on all week.
1t was settled yesterday by the adop-
ton of resolution Of Endorsement
by large majority.

AN ANOMALOUS SITUATION.


Washington, Aug. 16.-An anoma-
lous situation obtains in the island
of Guam in reference to the admin
istration Of justice and Commander
Schroeder, the governor Of the is
land, has been driven to appeal to
the navy department here for in
structions as to the limit Of his pow
ers. Congress has not legislated for
the island and the will Of the naval
governor has been practically SUI.
preme. When the island was turned
over to the navy department and
Capt. Leary was appointed governor
he decided to continue in operation
the old Spanish laws, except such as
should be modified by his directions
or that Of the navy department. I'm
der the old system Of laws thus put
in force there existed practically but
a single court on the island, the court
Of first instance, which corresponds
to the lowest judicial tribunal in this
country. Under the Spanish. law an
appeal was allowed from the deci-
sions Of this court to the court Of
cessation in the Philippines with pro-
vision for a final appeal in a certain
class of cases to the government at
Madrid. But with the advent Of
American control in the Philippines
this power of appeal was cut off and
the decisions of the court of first
instance practically stands as the de-
cision Of the court of last resort.
Some time ago a native was con-
victed in this court of murder and
was sentenced to be executed. The
evidence seemed to leave some ques-
tion Of his guilt and Gov. Schroeder
was appealed to. Being at loss as
to what action he could take, he adj
vised the secretary Of the navy Of
the situation and asked for instruc-
tions. The whole subject Is being
carefully considered by the navy de.
partment.
