WHAT SOME NAMES SIGNIFY.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
 "If you will give me your attention for a few moments said the poet laureate of all the Pascasouas at the St. Charles ho- tel T will endeavor to give you the signi- fieation of a retinue of Christian names many of which are too often misappled to the fair sex who bear them.

Federation of Labor Declares

WANTS MILLER REMOVED
Roosevelt Is Petitioned to Re-examine Evidence Offered Against Foreman in the Government Printing Office.
 Panama Canal Is Favored.

Boston, November 19-The American Federation of Labor disposed summarily of the "open shop issue raised in the case of William M Miller, now employed in the governemnt printing office at Wash ington, and the Miller case itself today hy unanimously declaring in favor of the union shop in government, as well as Tn private enterprises. and by petitioning President Roosevelt to re-examine the evidence offered against Miller, and t verified to remove Miller from the ser vice
 Although the resolution adopted pre- scented the federations view on both .'open shop" and the Miller case the issues are kept entirely distinct. The re-exami- nation of the Miller case is not requested because Miller is a non-unionist, cir cumstance formerly urged as reason Tor his removal. but because the federation believes Miller lis totally unfit to be in charge of working people.
 The Miller resolutions declare that Mil Ter has been proved in afhdavits and court records to be il bigamist, perjurer, defaulter and one totally unfit to be In charge of working people, That he has violated civil service rules and the revis- ed statutes all of which demand dismiss sal and that his retention in the govern ment employ is a menace to the ''prodne- ton of creditatble work. because of dis satisfaction with his methods as fore man."
 Resolutions were adopted favoring the construction of the Panama canal by cit izens of the United States; urging that the Chinese exclusion act be made to ap- ply in the Philippine and Hawaiian is lands: favoring women's suffrage and the election of the President of the United States and United States senators by di- rect vote

 But when a member of that race com mits murder or eonspires to commit mur- der he should be punished he contilf1ed. T shall take up the aspect of the case that Wise is said to have committed this offense to preserve the reputation of his sister

 Attacks Wise's Testimony.
 Col. Caldwell attacked Mir Wises testi- mony and said it was against all the laws of human nature that he should tell the exact truth when the punishment was the witness would not admit the facts testified to by other witnesses when those facts were against himself and wrought him nearer to the penitentiary.
 The speaker then went over the events that took place at the Morris hotel on the morning of April IT from the state s aspect of the case. He impressed on the minds of the jury the facts showing a premedtated determination on the part of Wise and Havis to get those letters at any cost. He asked if the mere recital by Wise on the stand of the conversa- ton with his sister was going to be taken for truth by the jury, when the life and liberty of the defendant were at stake.
 "When Wise went to that hotel why didn't he go to number 57 himself?" asked the speaker Why did he wait for Havis to come and then sent him upstairs Doesn't that show that it was a pre- arranged affair? And then why did Havls go up that dark stairway on the third or four floor instead of taking the elevator which would have taken him so much more conveniently and quickly?'
 Court was adjourned at o'clock and Col. Caldwell will continue his speech at the opening of court this morning.

 THE CUBAN BILL
(conrlrued from First Page,

take you continue to follow him. re- marked Mir Williams.
 Mir. Williams, in supporting his conten- tion for an amendment to the treaty, said it would only take few weeks to se- cure it.
 MT. Payne answered that it would take months.
 Suppose it did take months?" asked Mir. Williams, to which MT. Payne re- piled:
 The gentleman is trying to help the sugar trust by his amendment"
 Williams Raises a Laugh.
 Well" responded MT. Williams 'if l am, the Lord knows I am unconscious of it." 0aughter)
 But l will say the length Of time it would take to have the treaty amended will depend upon the care and strenu- osity brought into action at the other end of the avenue. If you could just half-way approximate the celerity that has lately actuated this administration in connec- tion with the newborn republic of Pan anna. YOU would have il hack here in three days" Daughter and applause on the democratic Side1
 But the minds of all the mighty czars in another place have not operated on this Panama business vet. and they have operated on the treaty. said MT. Payne.
 They will operate on it quickly in some way or other said Mir. Williams, pro vided the trust is not hurt. Uaughter and applause on the democratic side) They are waiting for us."
 MT. Mccall, republican, of Massachu- setts. said that hs deductions from q study of the effect of the treaty were that the reduction of the duty on sugar would not materially affect its price in this country and that consequently the Cuban planter would get the benefit of the say ing on the tariff: that increased exports from the United States to Cuba and from Cuba to the United States of other arti- cles would follow, resulting in general prosperity. Twelve minutes before ] o'clock Mir Payne of New York announc- ed that he did not care to consume the balance of his time, and thereupon Mir. Williams moved to recommit the bill to the ways and means committee with in- structions in the line of amendments pre- viously proposed.
 Motion Out of Order. The speaker ruled the motion to be out of order.
 MT Williams appealed from the differ ence or the chair, and asked to be heard on the point of order
 MT, Payne raised a point of order, but the speaker entertained the appeal saving that he preferred to err, if at all. in giv- Ing the house the right to express its will, although it had previously expressed itself otherwise
 MT. Williams said his motion was not dilatory but was made because the minor ity had endeavored consistently to secure vote on amendments MT, Payne moved to lay the appeal on the table and his motion carried by a vote of isS to ls5' strict party alignment. On the passage of the bill, an attempt was made to secure a yea and nay vote,

 Col. John NJ. Caldwell for the state spoke next He said at the beginning that all the state desired was an uphold ing of the laws. He characterized Mir.

 When he said that the county solici- tor reminded him of an old maid so far as he had taken part in this case, he was insulting man high among the offcais of this court" said Col. Caldwell. He had no right to say that the state had brought in able counsel to try to con vict this man In order to bring honor up- on themselves and he was not doing right by saying that Attorney Weakley was born with q silver spoon in his mouth.
 "We will say What if William Wise is a Jew? They have been the greatest lawmakers in the history of the world and one of their greatest and most ob- served laws is Thou shalt not kill"
 He then paid an elaborate tribute to the Jew as upright and lawabiding citi- zens and cited many examples to show
