QUESTIONS OF JURISDICTION.
Debate at Labor Meeting is Weary
 ing the Delegates.

New Orleans, Nov. A.-Arguments long drawn out in support of conflicting claims of jurisdiction occupied the time of the American Federation of Labor today. In the morning it was the row between the Woodworkers and the Carpenters and be- tween the Woodworkers and the Piano Workers. In the afternoon 1t was be- tween the Longshoremen and the Seamen
 All the disputes ended in the same man ner Every one was referred to a special committee, which Is to meet within c given time and endeavor to reach a solu- ton which will be agreeable to both sides.
 The constant flow of oratory to which the convention has been subjected for the last three days has commenced to wear on the nerves of delegates, and speakers today were compelled to keep much more closely to the matter under discussion than on any preceding day. One delegate this afternoon in an attempt to explain why marine engineers should belong to the seamen instead of the longshoremen' s union, branched out into description of labor day parade in San Francisco, when the Seamen's Union had 10000 men in line" was summarily called to order and told to keep to his text. Early in the convention, divergences greater than that were frequent and long.
 In the election of officers which Is to be held tomorrow morning it is highly proba- ble that all the present executive officers of the federation will be elected.

.RUMORS AND
 ROOSEVELT Reports and DenialS Of
 His Plans. HE MAY ELEVATE NEGROES Also Said That His Eyes Have Been opened. One Rumor Has It That the Recent Southern Trip Changed the Presidents Views Regard ing the Black Man.
HE MAY ELEVATE NEGROES

Washington. Nov. 21.-(Special.) )-That negroes may soon be seen in high Federal offices in Alabama is a report current in Washington.
 It probably depends upon the discretion of Booker Washington. who has in time past proved himself discreet There are all sorts of rumors here tonight, none of which has sufficient basis to warrant wir- ing.
 The Presidents declaration to appoint the negro pr. Crum, Booker Washing tons friend, Collector of Customs at Charleston, was wired The Advertiser at the moment of It's decision. It now trans pires that the strongest protests, called forth by The Advertisers statement, were made to the President from the South generally.
 The Washington correspondent or The New York Evening Post, who is of full est reliability. asserts tonight that to each pI otestant whom he could notice with dignity" President Roosevelt's answer was that there were 9.0OO.0OO colored cit izens of United States, that he was Pres ident of the colored as well as the white people that he had aimed in his South ern appointments to select men of char acter and intelligence, and was pleased to find that his efforts in this direction had been recognized and appreciated; that most of his appointments to important places had, by this very test of fitness fallen necessarily to whites, but that as long as there were colored men here and there, of approved standing among their neighbors and up to the measure of a government ofice he would be the last man on earth to shut the door of oppor- tunity in their faces"
 Late tonight 1t Is reported on substar- tial authority that the Presidents South ern trip, ended this morning, has result ed in a radical modification of h views on the negro questi0 |: that he no ioAs q considers the negro in the South as "black angel of suffering.
 Verifcation of this is, of course. impos- sible.
 This looks suspicious, to say the least.
 The continued hullaboo over Postmaster Buckley and the Montgomery postofhce finds no echo here further than this: Men of the highest national eminence have urged that, if there is to be any change, Major w. w. Screws be appointed but while these recommendations are held to he of greatest weight, it Is expected that Major Screws would not accept appoint ment from President Roosevelt to that or any other office.
 Moreover no vacancy in the Montgom- cry postoffice is now probable.

The deficit for 1902 was $14, 5000 It would not do, the Secretary said. to be always providing for deficits by loans. nor could the contribution of the feder- ated states be increased. Nevertheless 1t was probable that the State would ulti- mateiy have to bear the deficit What ought to be done was to increase the imperial revenues so as to balance the Looking around for suita- ble objects for increased taxation. he saw beer and tobacco. and he begged the members of the House to keep these in view while thinking how to balance the budget.

 Kills American. OCCURS IN GUATEMALA Little Known of Affair at the

 frey Hunter from His Pest of Duty.
OCCURS IN GUATEMALA

Washington, Nov. H.-The state De- partment has beeifs informed that God frey Hunter. Jr., son of the United statss minister at Guatamela City, today shot and killed William Fitzgerald of Grand Rapids. Mich. Hunter has taken refuge. in the legation and an interesting quss- ton has arisen as to his exemption frem arrest
 Important details are lacking in the ss- port of the affair. which has come te the State Department, and the officiaia are in doubt as to what should be donA They have no notion of surrsndering without protest an American citizen e the local courts of Guatemala, unless sat- isfied that the man Is a proper subject for punishment. Even then 1t is not alf certai nthat the Department itself has the right to waive any legal exemption that the man might have.
 international law lays down the precept that an Ambassador or Minister may not Of his own accord surrender any such exemption in his own case.
 A closer inspection of the original ad- vice reveals the fact that the only name by which the man was known was Fftz- gerald; he has not the Christian name os William, as was supposed at first. He was shot four times.
 Bailey With Hunter.
 Another important fact developed vraa that young Hunter was accontpanied at the time of the shooting by the Secretary of Legation. This official is set down fu the register as being James G. Bailey of Kentucky. who went to his post ira June, 1901.
 The cable also rather by sugxestaon than by direct statement, gave ground for an inference that the killing was pro- voked.
 Not much Is known here of the person- ality of Godfrey Hunter. Jr,, and 1t is in- possible to learn definitely whether or not he was actually connected officiaIly with the United States legation at Guate- mala City at the time of the killing. That he had been clerk or typewriter In the le- gatlon is established. He was certainly a member of the minister's family, and that fact might be regarded as sufficient to base a claim of exemption.
 It is suggested here that the shooting may have been connected with the recent relief of Dr. Hunter as minister. Dr. Hunter has been steadily embroiled with members of the American colony since he assumed office in 1897, and lately, owing to his relation with a Government rail- road and other matters not supposed to be proper for a minister to meddie with. the pressure became so acute that the department was obliged to relieve him from office. It may be that Fitzgerald was connected some way with the chargoa against the minister.
