PRINTERS CONCLUDE
49TH CONVENTION
IMMENSE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS
RUSHED THROUGH ON MORNING
OF THE LAST DAY LABEL MAT.
TIERS DISCUSSED.

Washington, August 15.-The forty
ninth session of the international Typo
graphical union. which was convened in
this city Monday, came to close at noon
today. A vast amount of business was
rushed through this morning. including
the consideration of number of commit
tee reports, among them being those on
label, allied trades and the eight-hour
question.
The last-named committee noted the
progress made during the last year of
the eight-hour movement and favorably
reported the following resolution. which
was adopted by the conventions:
Resolved, That the committee on
eight-hour day be instructed to notify
local unions which have not already OBJ
tained the eight-hour day or made con-
tracts binding them to its provisional In
stitution, that 1t is the sense of the In
ternational Typographical union that they
make an effort on January /. 1905. to OBJ
tain the eight-hour day, according to
plans deemed most expedient by such To-
cal unions in their several localities"
E. ]. Bracken was elected fourth vice
president, and p. s. Nuernberger was
elected delegate to the American Fedora
tion of Labor. With the adoption of the
usual vote of thanks, President Lynch

journed sine die.

ceive at Birmingham nearly all Frisco
freight destined for Florida and southern
points.
Seaboard will build a connection via
Montgomery, which will give it a better
share of these shipments, but in the
meantime the old arrangement will con-
tinue. Under these circumstances 1t is
considered extremely unlikely that the di-
rect benefit to Seaboard through addi-
tional freight secured from Frisco, as
compared with what would have been Sc
cured any way will exceed $350,000 in the
fiscal year of the new arrangement.
AS to the legitimate increase in the vol
ume of business, the export figures for
1901 are sufficient evidence of the bright
ness of prospects for the southern rail-
roads. The exports of the south totalled
S50S, ,237, 264 as against $472, $50 in 1902 OF
the total increase in exports from the
United States, southern ports gained %
per cent. Southern railroads complain that
cotton does not net them the freight
returns that it should The railroads are
doing their best to have the round bale
made the standard.

HARITY IS MADE
AN ARCHBISHOP
ST. LOUIS BISHOP is coNsEcRAT-
ED AS ARCHBISHOP OF MANILA.
CARDINAL SARTOLLl oFFicI-
ATEs, ASSISTED BY 2 BISHOPS.

Rome August 15.-Consecration of the
Rev j. j. Harity of st. Louis as arch
bishop Of Manila took place today in the
Franciscan church of st. Anthont. Added
interest to the ceremony was given by
the fact that first archbishop to be con-
secrated under Plus X. was an American.
Cardinal Satolll offlciated and was as
sisted by two bishops. The new arch
bishop was anointed with holy oil on the
temples and palms of his hands. He was
given then the Episcopal ring, a symbolic
of his marriage with the church, the mitre
and the pastoral staffs of power. Arch
bishop Harity then offered Cardinal satolli
two lighted torches, two loaves of bread
and two small gilded barrels of wine as
symbols of his love towards his consecra-
tor. This offering was followed by the
kiss of peace from Cardinal Satolli.
The service was accompanied by sweet
music. 1t was a solemn moment when the
new archbishop walked through the
church, imparting his first Episcopal bene-
diction to the kneeling congregation.
Among those present at the consecra-
tion We're the Rev. Dennis OConnell,
rector Of the Catholic University at
Washington; Monsignor Kennedy, with
the members of the American colleges;
Bishop Hendrick of Cebu and his broth
er, Father Joseph Hendrick Monsignor
Edward w. Fowler and Father David
Fleming, formerly superior general of
the Fransciscans.
The fact that the first American arch
bishop of Manila was consecrated in the
church which is the seat Of the general
head of the Franciscan monks. one Of
the four orders objected to in the Phil
ippines, was much commented on.
Cardinal Satoli later gave at his resi-
dence In the baslica of ST. John Lateran
a dinner In honor of the archbishop, at
which were present Rector OConnell,
Monsignor Kennedy, Monsignor Fow-
ler Monsignor Tecchi. secretary of the
consistorial congregation, and Bishops
Paniga and Tonletti, who assisted Card
inal Satolli at the conservation ceremoy.
Toasts were drunk to the pope President
Roosevelt and to the success of Arch
bishop Harity In his laborers in the Phil
ippines. Archbishop Harity will leave
Rome next Wednesday.

MRS. EVANS KILLED
BY HER HUSBAND
WOMAN WHO MADE HERSELF FA-
NOUS DURING THE TRANSFERS
STRIKE IN KANSAS CITY MUIR
DERED IN COLD BLOOD.

Kansas City, Mo-, August 15.--Mrs. LII
liza Maud Evans, wife of George B.
Evans, manager of the American Trans
fer company, was murdered In her home
In the southern portion of this city early
today The husband, from whom she
filed suit for divorce last Wednesday, was
found by the police dying from a bullet
wound in his head, which was self-inHict-
ed. He was seen In a saloon near his
home early today. when he displayed a
revolver. The murder was most cold
blooded and occurred while Mrs. Evans
was asleep.
Mrs. Evans. who was 26 years old was
a society woman. She was married to
Evans In 1898. Last Wednesday she filed
suit for divorce, alleging drunkenness and
cruelty and at the same time brought
suit demanding that her husband paw
$500 for rent of the barn occupied by
the company of which he is manager
Inc property, Mrs. Evans asserted, be-
longed to her. and in addition she asked
an order restraining Evans from dlspos-
ing OF two valuable race horses and other
property which she said also belonged to
her.
Mrs. Evans attracted much attention
last March during the teamsters strike
by driving one of her husbands transfer
wagons which the regular driver refused
to take out of the barns. Mrs. Evans
made several trips perched on the seat of
big truck between her husbands barns
and the freight house. driving fearlessly
through crowds of jeering strikers. Once,
when some of the strikers tried to cut the
horses traces. she ashed the men with
her whip and proceeded without being
further molested.
Two years ago Mrs. Evans also gained
some notoriety by horsewhlpping a man
who had attempted to f1lrt with her.

National Macedonian Movement.
The insurrection, he declared, was en-
tirely a national Macedonian movement
organized by the Macedonian internation-
al committee, which in itself was proof
of the shocking condition of affairs due
to the excess of Turkish soldiers, who
on the pretext of searching for arms, en-
tered Macedonian villages to plumber and
destroy.
The situation in the unhappy villages
he thought, has been rendered more des-
perate by the refusal of the Turks to per-
NIT the unemployed to leave In order to
secure work elsewhere.
NJ Petroff says that the Turks are
pouring overwhelming forces into Monas-
tir and that they are sufficient not only
to suppress the present rising but to
destroy the entire revolutionary move
ment unless the powers intervene to pre-
vent Turkey from taking rigorous meas
ures.
