DOWIE'S CRUSADE.

The Dowie crusade In New York bids

the protest of Dowie, who even went

manner Is offensive and his langua GO

a sort Of tyrannlcal control over his audi

he has shown nasty temper, and has
generally disguised those who have gone

REPEAL TIMBER AND STONE ACT
Senator Hansbrough Introduces an
Important Bill.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE senate
began business in earnest during the
day by receiving a number OF petit
lions and many bills.
An important land bill was intro
duced by Senator Hansbrough and re-
ferred to the public lands committee,
of which he is chairman. The meas
ure is intended to cure the defects in
existing laws.
The bill by implication repeats the
timber and stone act, under which
land is now acquired at $3.50 per acre,
regardless of it's real value. 1t then
authorizes the secretary of the inte-
rior to make examinations and es.
Inmates relative to the quantity and
value of the timber or stone on the
public lands and to sell the right to cut
and dispose of the same in such guam
titles as may seeem adviable to the
highest bidder,

After prayer by the chaplain and the
reading of the journal Messrs. Reed,
Wallace and Kyle were sworn in as
members Of the house.

Labor.
Boston, Nov. 12.-The plan for an
International labor federation was en-
Enthusiastically re%c:va' by the conven-
ton OF the american Federation OF
Labor during IN. day.
This International alliance was pro-
rosed by James O'Grady, fraternal del
egate to the federation from the cabi-
netmakers and upholsterers of Great
Britain, who urged that the laboring
clement in England and America work
together in harmony. Delegate
O'Grady's plan was supported by
James Simpson of Toronto, a member
of the International Typographical
union.
In the evening Mayor Collins enter
tanned the delegates to the convention
at a banquet in Faneuil hall. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Mayor Col
Inns, President Samuel Gompers and
many OF the delegates.
At the banquet everyone present,
with the exception of the mayors pri-
vate secretary, vas a member of some
labor organization. Mayor Collins,
who presided, exhibited a card of the
Woodworkers' union issued to him
many year ago when he worked at a
trade.
The dinner was prepared by a union
cook and served by union walters.
The only reporters present belonged
to the News Writer'S union.

BURKE QUITS LAND OFFICE
Former Governor of North Dakota
Suddenly Resigns.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Former Gov
ernor Andrew H. Burke Of North Da-
kota, who for six years has been an
inspector of land offices under the de-
partment of interior, has rendered his
resignation to take effect at once.
Mr.. Burke is now in washington,
but whether or not he was summoned
here by the department cannot be
learned. It is known that he is not
exactly pleased with the turn of af-
fairs, and this gives rise to rumors
that Governor Burke's resignation was
requested by the commissioner of the
general land Office.
Commissioner Richards is not here,
and Acting Commissioner Fimple, fur
ther than admitting that Governor
Burke had resigned, had nothing to
say. Burke was appointed on rec.
concentrations of Senators Davis and
Nelson. His home at the time of his
appointment was at Duluth.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 12.-The
whole Pacific coast from British Co
lumbia to Southern California and the
states Of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah and
Western Colorado were swept by a
storm during the day that has resulted
In All almost total prostration OF tele-
graph service over that territory, and
in the mountains has all but tied up
the railroads in a regular midwinter
blockade. The storm is still raging
with undated fury. For i've days
rain has been falling without cessa-
ton in the Puget sound country.
The rain turned into snow, accom-
panied by wind which is blowing at
the rate of t~hirty-five miles an hour.
Heavy gales are reported along the
entire Pacific coast, in California &C
companied by torrential rains. So
far, however, no marine disasters have
been reported. In the gorges of the
Cascade mountains snow is reported
to be four feet deep. Railroad traffic
is seriously impeded in consequence.
At Helena and Butte and over the
ranges of Central and Eastern Mon
tana the storm has turned into a blind
ing blizzard, with eight inches OF snow
at Helena, six inches at Butte. There
is a high wind and rapidly dropping
temperature. Southwark in Wyoming,
Nevada and Utah there has been lit
tie precipitation thus far, but high
winds have prevailed.

STRIKERS PLACES,

Chicago, Nov. ia general strife
OF 5000 employees of the Chicsgo CITY
railway was decided Sron at a mass
meeting of the men. They quit wol,;
at 4 a m.
This decision was reached aftcr a
controversy that has lasted for over
two weeks between the representa-.
tives Of the union and the manage
ment of the railway. Numerous on
ferences have been held in an effort
to adjust the difficulty by arbitration,
but without satisfactory results, and
the decision to strike was unani-
mously Endorsed by the men. The
demands of the union were for a
wage increase of rs per cent, recogni-
ton of the union and several other
minor concessions. The company re-
quested a postponement of hostilities
until Saturday, when a final answer
would be given, but the men refused
to delay action any longer and decided
to quit work to enforce their de-
mands.
The company, it is said, has sew
eral hundred men in readiness to
take the places of the strikers and will
endeavor to run the cars with non
union men.
The Chicago City railway controls
all the surface lines running on the
south side of the city, making a total
of owe 220 miles of track.

CAUSES GENERAL uNEAslNEs.
Reduction in Cotton Mill Wages al
Fall River. Mass.

Boston, Nov. 12.-Reports from the
centers of the cotton mill industry
throughout New England indicate that
the announcement at Fall River that
a 10 per cent reduction in wages had
been decided on by cotton manufac-
turers there, to go into effect on Nov.
%, had caused general uneasiness,
due to the belief that an equal reduc-
ton at other places is inevitable. 1t
is conceded that this will be the case
in Rhode Island and Eastern Connect
icut and it is thought other cities in
Eastern Massachusetts may follow the
example set by Fall River, though
their cases are somewhat dissimilar.
In Taunton, the Corr Manufacturing
company has already announced a 10
per cent reduction and, while the mill
men at New Bedford, Lowell and
Lawrence are reticent concerning their
plans, they admit that the condition
of the cotton market is all against the
manufacturers. This is believed to be
equivalent to saying that a wage re-
duction is to be seriously considered.
The situation in Maine and New
Hampshire will hardly be affected.
Maine did not share in the wage ad-
vance of two years ago and so a a
negative advantage now.
Representatives of the labor unions
in Fall River and other cities do not
appear to anticipate any concerted
action on the part of the unions in
opposition to the new schedule.
The union men have kept them
selves we'll informed as to the cotton
market and the announcement at
Fall River occasioned little surprise.
The new schedule is really a return
to the conditions existing two years
ago when an advance was made by
the manufacturers. It was this adj
vance in Fall River that led to the
great strike in Lowell last spring.
The Lowell operatives demanded the
Fall River schedule, which was re-
fused,

Shoots retaining his seat as Junior
senator from Utah were filed in the
senate during the day. Most of these

though nearly every state registered
objections through petitions filed by
their senators. Churches, religious
organizations of all kinds, universities,
colleges and other educationaal insti-
buttons are among the organizations
which have filed protests. Some of
these petitions charge that Senator
Smoot has practiced polygamy, while
others rest their objections on the
charge that he is a member of an or
ganization which countenances the
| practice of plural marriage.

SIX MONTHS IN PRISON.
German Army Officer Convicted o
Writinu a Novel,

Berlin, Nov. 12.-The military court
at Metz has concluded the trial Of
Lieutenant Bilsen, author of a book
entitled "A Little Garrison" and SEN
fenced the lieutenant to six months
in prison and to dismissal from the
army. One month, the time the Off
Ger has already spent in prison, was
allowed to be deducted from the sem
tence. The novel was ordered de-
stroyed.
The decision of the court was based
on the fact that in his novel Lieu
tenant Bilsen insulted his superior
officers and drew such a picture of
events happening in Forbach, Alsace-
Lorraine, that personages living in
that place were compromised. The
court further says that the lieutenant
d%isobeyed an order of Emperor Will
lam forbidding any officer to publish
a pamphlet without the permission of
his military superiors.

His statement that Great Britain was
