HE SCORES SOCIALISTS
PRESIDENT ooMPERs BITTER IN
 HIS SPEECH.
The American Federation of Labor Votes Down Resolutions Pledg- ing 1t to the Ffinciples of
 the &ClialiJts.

Boston, Nov. 1S.-zAfter long debate, chiefly noteworthy because of the bitter language of President Samuel Gompers in dealing with socialism, the American Federation of Labor defeated resolutions pledging 1t to socialism.
 Nine resolutions presented by socialists and calling for the adoption of their prin- ciples, had been reported upon unfavor- ably by the committee on resolutions and delegates representing a voting strength of 11.2S2, registered themselves in support of the committees recommen- dation while delegates with -,1S5 votes were cast in favor of the resolutions
 The climax came when President Gom- pers, in bitter and unqualified language scourged socialism. In closing he said:
 T am at variance with your philosophy. Socially you are wrong and industrially you are an impossibillty. I have an abid- ing faith in the trades union movement, because 1t is the protection of labor to- day, and if emancipation comes some time 1t must be the trades union move ment that will achieve it. s-
 A great volume of applause followed the conclusion of MT. Gompers speech.
 A rsolution appropriating $1,OOO to the to test the constitutionality of the anti boycott law in that State was referred to the executive council with the recom- mendation that 1t be given early consid- eration.
 The convention then adjourned until to- morrow.

REPORT OF WINNIE.
Recommends More Allowances for
 Clerk Hire.

Recommends More Allowances for
 Clerk Hire.
 Washington, Nov. 1s--Robert J. Wynne, first assistant postmaster general in his annual report to the postmaster general, recommends that Congress authorize clerk hire allowances at all third class post offices. Only the first and second class offices have this allowance at pres ent and MT. Wynne advocates an allow ance for this purpose of $1o0 wherever the postmaster's salary is $1,000 or HOO; 500 where the postmaster gets $1,2Oo or s1 300; $500 where the postmaster gets q, 400 or s1 300; s400 where the postmaster is salaried at $1,600 or N,70o; and s50C where the salary Is from SIS to $19.
 This would make the total approprta- ton for clerk hire allowances at third class post offices and for separating mails at three and fourth class post offices and for unusual business $2,200.000.
 MT. Wynne recommends a new classi- fication law for clerks in first and sec ond class post offices. creating number of new positions and abolishing the titles of all clerks below the grade of foreman. simply designating as clerks employees whose duties are purely clerical. It is recommended that the maxim allowance for fuel and light at third class post of fees be increased from s6o as now fixed by law to $S8 per apnum.
 A lump appropriation of 90, 1000 is asked for clerks at i.rst aI-l second class priation into grades of clerks
 During the year the domestic money or ders issued amounted, to $353, ,6s7 .64s and the excess of receipts from this source over expenses paid from the proceeds was T 994, ,SSS , &4 .s

OTHERS FOLLOW SUIT.
Two Mora Departments of Colombia
 to Secede.


 Washington. Nov. 1s.-The State De- pertinent late this afternoon received ad- vices that the Departments of Caucua and Antioquoia, of Colombia, are seeking to separate from that Government and are soliciting admission into the Panama Republic.
 No surprise is expressed here over the report that these departments are mak- ing an effort to align themselves with the Republic of Panama The two de- partments named and also that of Bolivar are the most prosperous in the whole Colombian territory. They contribute the greater portion of the revenues for the Federal treasury, that of Antoquoia alone paying about one-third of the en- tire amount.
 The Antiquoians are known as the Yankees of Colombia and are progressive and business-like people. For a lons time there have been dissatisfaction and discontent among the people of these de. partments over the management of af. fairs by the politicians at Bogota, by whom they say their rights have been disregarded and their interests treated in. differently. A disposition towards seces. sion heretofore has manifested itself among them, and an open revolt at thIs time would not be surprising. The De partment of Caues will benefit more

THE FISHER INDICTMENT.
Six Counts Against the. Hastings
 Postfnaster


 Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1s.-The centre of attraction in the indictments against United States Senator Charles H. Dietrich and Postmaster Jacob Fisher of Hastings. aIternated today between Omaha and washington. Developments at both points were equally interesting and cor respondence made public by the Depart ment of Justice in Washington and by District Attorney Summers of Omaha threw considerable new light on the whole affair.
 District Attorney Summers expressed the belief that the matter had considera- ply cleared up, so far as his oGlce was concerned and relieved him of charges made that he was prompted by -malice" in bringing the matter to the attention of the grand jury.
 PostOfice matters will be again taken up by the grand jury tomorrow. The postoffices at Alma, Oxford. Orleans and Arapahoe are to be investigated.
 Mir. Summers gave out his reply to the Attorney Generals letter. In 1t Summers says he acted as he did believing that Mir. Knox would prefer to have the Post office Department conduct the inyestiga- tion.
 No capias has yet been issued for United States Senator Dietrich. The bill of indictment against Senator EIetrich has not been permitted by Judge Munger to be made public. and win not be given out, 1t is stated. until the Senator has appeared to give bond.
 The bill against Fisher. however. was made public today. It is as follows:
 ''First-Violations of Section 17S1s re- vised statutes of the United States; that Jacob Fisher on July 8. 1901, fradulently paid to Charles H. Dietrich. member of the United States Congress, $500 for aid fnR fo nrocufa and nrocuriur for Rafd ings, Neb.

GOES TO NASHVILLE
CONFEDERATE REUNION TO BE
 HELD THERE.
By 6 Neat Coup the Rock City Gets the Prize - Louisville
 Did Not Want the

Louisville. Ky. Nov. 1s.-The next an- nual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans will be held in Nashville, Tenn.
 This decision by. the executive commit tee of the Association. after 1t had been reported to them that Nashville would withdraw its invitation on account of alleged differences in the State organiza- ton of veterans came as 6 surprise.
 It was the result. however. of a neat coup of Nashville. that city sending a strong delegation to Louisville last night. This delegation made It's appearance be- fore the committee today, and after stat ing their invitation to the veterans, was not withdrawn. Tennessee cast It's vote in favor of Louisville, Missouri followed suit, and Louisville stood in great danger of being chosen until the chairman. Colo nel Bennett H. Young, announced that this city had before 1t the biennial en- campment next summer of the Knights C6 Pythias. and that as 1t would ocAur near the time usually selected by the veterans for their meeting, the local camp did not feel that 1t could assume the responsibility.
 The selection of Nashville was then decided upon and the choice was made unanimous.
 Among those at the meeting were Ad. iutant General W. F. Mickle. New Or leans; 8. E.. Cunningham and John P. Hickman of Nashville: Colonel Fred T. Montgomery and General A. J. West of Georgia; Colonel Truelock, Arkansas; Dr. William Louis, Washington, D. O., and General J. F. Shipp of Chattanooga.
 The only other business of importance before the meeting was the appointment of committee to investigate all legisla- ton of the Confederate Congress on the subject of the Confederate battle flag. This is casued by the fact that the his- tories of the Union give the shape as square and the committee is expected to decide this point and report at the re- union. General Mickle called attention to an error which had been published and which was to the effect that the debt of the, Association was $500 whereas 1t is only N,o00 He said that more camps had promptly paid their dues than in any ether year in the history of the Associa- tton. The date of next years reunion at Nashville will be decided later.

Couase Grove and Indi- ana Avenue lines. The Tialstead Street cars run through district where the chances for trouble are many. and If this line can be suc- cessfuliy operated, the company will feel con- hdent of being able to resume business in a very short time. even though the attempts by tho Mayor to secure arbitration shall prove to be somewhat protracted. The day was the most quiet of the strike,
 While 1t was quiet out of doors. around the Mayors office 1t was exceedingly busy.

Mcody's wants Not Modest. From the numerous expressions of dis 'pprobation heard among congressman E both parties with regard to naval ap- |roprlation asked for by the Secretary E the Navy 1t would be no difficult mat

In the face of a diminishing Ind nearly disappearing surplus and a ahneraI demand for economy the esti- ate of Secretary Moody calling for an
 Ipenditure of SPA ,000.000 Is regarded as slusually extravagant even for a Repub- can administration. Congressmen of -Dth parties who represent important do-
 estic interests which require continuous sbpropriations, such as river and harbor .1proyement and the erection of ade- nate accommodations for the federal burts and postoffices, are vigorously pro- sting against the exorbitant appropria-

 i Allied with the Pennsylvanians for the roject and in the same way, is the House delegation of ten members from Few Jersey, equally interested because zhe Delaware separates the two States.
