TGLLMAN-GoNzALEs SHOOTING.

| 1ll]LM AN -OON LAGEo c1OOl lNO.
Editor n. &. Gonzales, of the Colum-
bia, S. c., State who was shot and
seriously wounded by Lieut.. Gov
James Tillman Thursday on the most
travelled street in the capital Of South
Carolina, is struggling between life and
death. 1t is a hard and desperate fight.
Last night he was holding his Own, with
the worst yet ahead.
The first that has been heard on the
subject from Lieutenant-Governor TIL
man is in this statement sent from the
county jail 81 can only say that
when the truth of the unfortunate affair
is known my friends, as well as the
people of the country, will see how
thoroughly | was justified in acting as |
did. At the proper time | will be pre-
pared to show this"
Mr.. Tillman's defense, it now seems,
will be that he thought Mr.. Gonzales
was armed; that Mr.. Gonzales had his
hand in his coat pocket and had a
pistol there. Mr. Gonzales, however
had no weapon.
In talking of the shooting yesterday
Mr.. Gonzales gave in substance the YER
sion published yesterday.
Being questioned about the report that
Mr.. Tillman said, 81 got your message, "
Mr.. Gonzales said positively that lie had
sent to the Lieutenant-Goyernor no mes
sage; that his meeting with Mr.. Tillman
was unexpected and that be was moi
armed. The bullet fired by Mr.. Till
man pierced vital spots of Mr.. Gonzales
abdomen and pursued a course somewhat
similar to that in the case of President
Mckinley. There are fears that peri
tonitis will set in, in which case death
would be speedy.
The woun' ed man is making plucky
fight for rs life. As he has strong
constitutio /, e-cellent habits and reso-
lutte will, it is thought that there is
chance be may pull through, notwith-
standing his critical condition. Yester-
day morning, when the city schools
assembled and prayers were said, they
included an appeal for his recovery.
At the South Carolina College prayers
were offered for his recovery, and even in
the Senate chamber, where Lieutenant
Governor Tillman bad presided shortly
before the shooting, the chaplain prayed
that the Almighty would save the life OF
Mr.. Gonzales.
While there is a great deal of feeling
over the affair, it can be stated with
positiy eness that there is absolutely no
thought of violence against Lieutenant
Governor Tillman on the part of Mr..
Gonzales friends. 1t is the wish Of Mr..
Gonzales and his closest friends that the
case should be left for the courts to
settle.

HIS WEDDING PUT OFF.

The marriage of Reginald Claypool
Vanderbilt and Kathleen Nelson, which
was to have taken place soon, will be
postponed until next summer.
Both are very young, both rich,
especially the bridegroom, who hes Sl0,-
600, 600 of his own, yet fate and the
fact that he is multi-millionaire have
together brought bitter disappointment
to him over youthful escapade which
would be overlooked in an ordinary
young man. That would seem to lie
one of the penalties of being very rich.
"Here is bright young chap" said
friend of the family, "who virtually
starts out handicapped in life because he
has had no one to give him good advice.
He was not of age when he fell into his
great inheritance. Fawned upon at
preparatory school and college by hypo-
critical friends, he didn't know the
dignity of reserve. He threw his money
right and left, neglected his studies at
Yale and failed to pass his examination.
"For years, like all the Vanderbilt
boys, he was kept down by his father,
who was not extravagant. He had
enough, but no great lot of money to
spend. When his fortune came he
started throw ug it away Automobiles,
yachts and other things he craved he
got and he didn't care.
"He was called to halt by his brothers,
but paid no attention to them. Then he
met a charming girl, and she and her
mother gave him the Jolt, if ! may use
the word, which brought him to his senses.
He's a good boy, but he's only a boy.
He'll be wise soon. I'm sorry for his
troubles. Think, however, tits a shame
for Mr.. Jerome to bring all this public
itv on youngster when there is older,
bigger game for him to shoot at "
The illness of Mrs. Arthur I. Kemp,
the sister of the bride-elect, and the no
toriety following Mr.. Jerome's crusade
against Richard Garfield, the gambler,
in which the bridegroom was named as
a possible witness, with all the disagree
able publicity attendant thereon, were
urged as reasons why the two families
had determined on changing the date of
the ceremony.
Mrs. Kemp's health has greatly inn
proved. and it is expected that she can
soon leave Roosevelt Hospital.
The Vanderbilt family believe that
Newport wedding will not be the cause
OF bringing up 50 much unpleasant talk,
as by that time the Garfield incident will
be comparatively old and practically for
gotten.

W0MAN'S LABOR NOTES


Massachusetts forbids a woman to
work over sixty hours a week in a tex
tile factory, and Pennsylvania forbids
boys of ten to work in or about the
mines, whatever he, his parents, and
employers will.
Talking about things bearing the un-
ion label everything made will soon
be stamped with it. The latest novelty
in the labor world is candy made espe-
cially acceptable to the organized
working women by the union label. The
Chicago School Teachers Federation
has voted to eat nothing else in the line
Of confectionery.
A strike occurred among the girls at
the Hazleton silk mill on Monday. They
have organized a union and are de-
manding an increase Of wages which
will likely be granted.
Forty-five hundred girls employed in
telephone factories in Chicago, ILL.,, are
to be organized at once into the Wo-
mems Auxiliary to the International
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers. The
girls wages run from 50 to $16 a week.

Providence, r. L., Dec. 17.-Rev.. DIR.
Newell Dwight Hills of Brooklyn spoke
before the ederation of Women's clubs
in Attleboro.
Referring ito labor and the trusts DR..
Hills said:
"God never meant that one man
should control all the oil and all the
steel of this country; that the man of
ten talents should crush out the one
talent man.
'And the ten talent men are throwing
away their chances.
"God gave genius SO that every man,
woman and child should benefit by it.
"He never meant that there should be
great monopolies of those things which
are necessary to the comfort of huma n
teings.
"He never intended that one man
should control oil and possess 500, ,O00,-
600 while others had none And that
man and others in the trusts are
throwing away their chances"

RYAN KONWS NOTHING
OF REDUCTION

1[ndianapolis. ..zs1z:.7zsstataa secres
Treasurer William D. Ryan, 'of the
United Mine Workers of Aemrica, in
all interview declared recently that he
knew nothing about published state
ments that coal operators of bituminous
fields, at a conference to be held at
Indianapolis in January, would de-
mand a reduction of from 10 to 20 per
cent. in miners wages, but if such an
attempt were made there would be such
strike Of miners in the interstate
competitive district, which includes
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and H.
linois, that the late strike in the an
thracite region would pale into insight
ficance. He said that the soft coal
trade does not demand a cut in wages,
and that the miners would never accept
a reduction. Local operators say they
have heard nothing about proposed
cut in wages.

TEXAS FARMERS
ORGANIZE UNIONS

Elmory, Texas, Dec. 1.-THE farmers
of Texas are being unionized at a rapid
rate. There are today some 5000 unions
in Texas with a total membership Of
10000 or more. 1t began at Emory,
Rains county, about ten months ago,
under the name of the Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative Union Of
America and is now established in
nearly every populous country in the
State. About the middle of Febr f,ry
next meeting will be held for COM
pleting a State organization and it is
believed that the movement will spread
to other States, as the Farmers ALL
ance, which organized in Texas, did a
few years ago. The purpose of the un-
ion is to buy and sell in bulk, to edu-
cate along agricultural lines and to
eschew politics, but to, nevertheless, dis
cuss political economy. Several North
Texas lodges during the past few days
have made extensive purchases of sup
plies in carload and are greatly en-
couraged by these savings.

BRIDGE MECHANICS
CONSIDER. WAGE SCALE

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Bridge and struc-
tural ironworkers from thirty-two
cities met this. week in Chicago to
consider a uniform wage scale and
working rules to govern where possible
all travelling members in the United
States and Canada. A subcommittee
which had been appointed submitted
a plan. This provides for an eight
hour day and scale of IS cents an
hour for all members taken from one
point to another to work. These pro-
visions, however, will not conflict with
agreements made by local unions.
Each unions jurisdiction will cV.end
fifty miles for agreement purposes,
The subcommitte had a difficult time
in reaching an agreement. The local
autonomists fought the plan of MAX
ing universal wage scale to apply to
all members. The small unions declared
they could not increase wages to the
standard paid in Chicago and New
York, and these two cities objected to
any cut being made in their wage
scales AS it is, ironworkers sent od&
of New York and Chicago will receive
1h cents less per hour than their regu-
lar scale. If the report is adopted it
will be presented to the American
Bridge company and all large con-
tractors.

RAILROAD LABOR

The motormen and conductors of the
Charlotte, N. G. street car line struck
recently because the cars were not
heated. The strike lasted only four
hours.
200 men of the T. & P. shops at
Marshall, Texas, have been laid off.
The Western Union Telegraph mes
sengers Of Richmond, Va, struck this
week against a reduction of wages.
The company is filling their places with
negroes.
Railway Express companies have
practically destroyed the unions formed
by the express clerks.
The Chicago City Railway Company
had prepared a, rule denying it's union
employees the right to wear union but
tons, but there was such noise made
over it that up to this writing the rnan-
ager has not attempted to enforce the
order.
A coroner's jury which has been in
vestigating the recent collision on the
Fifth avenue line Of the Brooklyn
Elevated Railway, New York, in w:lie<saA
two men were killed, number of pas
sengers hurt and a great loss Of life
narrowly averted. has returned a ver-
dict expressing the opinion that the
disaster was caused by carelessness of
the management. The jurors recon-
mend. that two motormen be placed in
the motor-box of every train to avert
accidents caused by the collapse of the
man in charge of the train.
Negro porters are to be replaced by
white men, it is said, on the Union
Pacific Railroad. The change is said
to be 'tfor the good Of the service" the
porters having been making themselves
troublesome to passengers by exacting
tips for doing what the company was
paying them for. The white men are
to receive $3.50 more a month than was
paid the negroes.
D. w. Roderick, manager of the In
ternational Association of Machinists'
Railroad Districts, says that nearly ali
railroad companies in the Mississippi
Valley have adopted shorter workday
instead of reducing their force of ma
chinists and other workmen. All rail
roads having shops in Chicago have
done this, he stated:
According to the auditors OF the
Amalgamated Society of Railway serv-
ants. the Taffvales case cost the organ
ization altogether about $4,000. The
income for six months ending June,
1903, was e3s,s7o. &s *.s.:s:

MARTIAL LAW IN
MINING DISTRICT
CRIPPLE CREEK, COL, IN HANDS
OF STATE MILITIA.
Newspapers Censored, and Men Arrest
ed Without Warrant Of Law. Ha-
beas Corpus Proceedings Denied.
Miners Arbitrarily Arrested and
Placed in Bull Pen.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 17.-Martial law
has been declared by the Governor of
Colorado i'll the Cripple Creek district
OF that State. Backed by the Governor,
the mine operators are making every
effort to break the strike there, and
though there has been no rioting, yet
the State militia has been on guard for
weeks. The fact is, public opinion is
almost unanimously on the side>of the
strikers.
To add to the 'interest" the officers
of the militia have taken upon them
selves the task of censoring the press,
and all news intended for the public
must first be shown to an officer before
1t is allowed to appear. Under such
conditions whatever the newspapers
say is Of no account, for there never
was censor who allowed the truth to
be told if it reflected on his judgment
or the Judgment Of his superiors.
in support of his action Governor
Peabody cites the blowing up Of the
portion of the Vindicator mine and
other acts of laWlcssness, and declares
that it is impossible to control the tur-
bulcnce Of the camp by ordinary peace
able methods.
The facts are, the explosion in the
Vindicator mine looks like an accident
such as is common in the mining regi-
ons, while the acts Of "laWlessness"
lave generally amounted to peaceful
picketing. Charges have been made
against officers of the miners organiza-
tions, and they have been ar1Ssted to
get them in the bull pen," out of reach
Of the civil authorities.
An official statement issued by dis
trict Union y. Is declares that Kenn1-
son, Parkers, Davis, Steven Adams and
Charles Mckinney are innocent of the
crimes of murder charged against them
and that "thr justice being dispensed
in this district is hollow mockery, a
disgrace to a civilized community and
an outrage
