ADJUSTMENTS.
Jfferson Theatre.

A fine audience at the Jefferson last night witnessed with delight Soldiers of Fortune" dramatlzed from Richard Harding Davis well known story. The play last night was full of dash, and there was not in it a single impure suggestion of dress, speech or manner-and that certainly helps some. Love and even death were In 1t, and there were scenes full of pathos, and there were situations full of humor.
 The hero of the play is Robert Clay, a role filled by Robert Edeson, who Is a genuine matinee idol. The part is not wholly real, but unreal as 1t Is, Mir. Ede- son succeeds In investing 1t with deep and at times thrilling interest.
 One of the best comedy parts In the play was that of Mac Williams as pre- scented by Harry Harwood The Scotch mine superintendent, was freely ap- planded. Ellen Burge as Hope Langham made more love to Clay on the stage than MT. Davis permits In the book, but the audience did not grumble. Dorothy Ten nant as Alice Langham was magnetic, and the rest of the cast was reasonably acceptable.
 The play is full of chivalry and brillian- cy, and it appeals to the average thea tre goer very cleverly. Its first presenta- tion in this town was we'll received, and doubtless 1t will come back again next season.

Continued from First Page) many concerning the tariff arrangements, and that the Canadian government could communicate with Germany only through her majesty's government. The subse- quent publication of the tariff cores pondence showed that official correspond ence had passed between the Canadian premier and MT. Boph, German consul at Montreal, in which the Canadian policy towards Germany, was clearly defined. MT Black asked the colonial secretary to reconcile his reply with the facts shown In the correspondence.
 Replying on September g. Mir. Chamber lain said he was unaware of the cores pondence, as the Canadian government had not kept him informed, but he had now asked the dominion government to keep him informed of any unofficial ne- gotiations they might conduct.
 MT. Black, replying to this letter, point ed out that Mir Chamberlain made the damaging admission that he announced his preferential tariff scheme without having knowledge of the correspondence which showed that Canada intended to negotiate directly with Germany, and was prepared to give Germany the same pre- try.
 MT. Black said that MT. Chamberlain must see that the reciprocity part of his fiscal scheme could not stand without the colonies surrendering their fiscal inde- pendence.
 Mir Chamberlain replied that the pres ent correspondent was not revelant to the fiscal controversy, and declined to fur ther argue the question.

Federation of Labor Acts on the Pro-
 posed Federal Labor Union.

Washington, September 23.-At the meeting of the Federation of Labor today the executive council awarded jurisdiction of putty glazing to the Brotherhood of Painters and Deco rators. The Amalgamated Glass Workers International association was denied jurisdiction over plate glass and cathedral glass makers. The dis pute between the Machinists' associa- tion and that of the Allied Metal Me- chanics was compromised by an agree ment that the International Associa- tion of Allied Metal Mechanics shall call constitutional convention to be attended by a delegation of the Inter- national Association of Machinists for the purpose of effecting a working agreement between the two organiza- tions. President Gompers and Vice President Duncan were appointed committee to render every assistance within their power toward bringing about solution of the building trades dispute in New York city.
 Applications for charter were de nied in the case of the Federal Labor union of Birmingham, Ala, and the International Union of Sign Painters. President Gompers was authorized to call convention for the formation of an international union of paper box makers.

LIvERYMEN COMPLAINED OF.
Charges Preferred Against Prominent
 Concern for Blocking Streets.

Recently good deal of complaint has been made to the police about vehicles being backed up to sidewalks in front of the various livery stables. Citizens who drive complain that they are unable to pass without danger and point out that the leaving of these vehicles in the street is against the city ordinance.
 Yesterday D. A Hunt of the United Electric company, preferred charges against Fies and Sons for blocking the street, and the head of the firm was placed under bond by Policeman Ray, and summoned to appear before Judge Feagin. Several cases have been tried before the judge in the past and he has ordered these vehicles kept off the streets but ever since Birmingham was cross roads town livery concerns have been used to ranging their buggies along the pavement and the ordinance has been disregarded.

FIGHT LONG AND BITTER

Kansas City, September 23-After being in session behind closed doors since early this morning, the convention of the h. ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers at 10 o'clock to- night voted in favor of seating Sam Parks and the other delegates from local Union No. ? of New York. There were but three votes cast against Parks and his friends.
 These were the ballots of President Buchanan, a Kansas City delegate and one other The result is a decided vie- tory for Parks, as 1t reinstates him and local No ? of New York, of which Parks is the business agent, and directly re- pudiates the action of President Buch- anan in suspending it. The Parks dele gation will now have seats on the floor and the supposedly regular New York delegates are out of it.
 The hearing of the Parks case con- sumed nearly all of the time of the con- vention yesterday and was a bitter con test. Early in the day, when the ereden- tials committee had reported throwing the contest back to the convention itself, Parks saved trouble by needing the rul- ing of Buchanan and vacated the hall with his men. Later, during the after noon, he and his men were called back to plead their cause, and from J o clock till after o'clock the matter was thresh- ed out. Then a vote was taken with the result announced.
 Parks was Jubilant tonight He was escorted from the convention to the Coates House by group of admirers.
 "I have no statement to make" said Buchanan. "Yes, 1t Is a defeat for me. The result net, is the reinstatement of Local No. 20, as I was not sustained"
 Asked what effect this would have on the presidency and whether he would seek reelection MT. Buchanan declined to answer.
 The credentials committee today report ed favorably on the question of allowing inside men or shop men in the member ship. This was passed to the convention itself, although it has not been taken up. There are 150.00 of these men and if they are accepted they will strengthen the or ganization. There seems to be a strong sentiment looking toward their accept- ance.

Government Must Go to the Rescue
 on West Indian Islands.

St. Thomas, D. w. l., September 23.- The Gazette of the British Island of St. kitts says:
 "The movement for the helping hand of the government to be extended cannot be much longer delayed if the laboring population of the islands of St. Kits and Nevis are to be kept from starvation. An appalling condition of poverty ex- ists. The estates have been compelled to lessen their expenses owing to the long drouth and able-bodied men and women are hardly earning enough to sup ply their daily wants.

CORN CROP Is LATE.
Secretary Wilson Takes Trip Through
 the Heart of the Belt.

Washington, September 23.-Secre- tary Wilson of the agricultural depart ment returned to Washington tonight from Odgen, Utah, where he delivered a speech before the irrigation con- gress His journey both ways took him through the heart of the corn belt, and tonight he said:
 "The corn crop, owing to the pecu- liarity of the season, was late and light. Heavy floods destroyed it on bottom lands to great extent. Con- tinued rains throughout June and July saturated the level lands and retarded the growth of corn, The frost has injured it in streaks. There will be plenty of corn in the country because feeding last year was unprofitabe and many feeders will feed less this year.
 "A very heavy hay crop was secured this season. Taking wheat out, our farm products as a whole are abund- ant"
