JURISDICTION DISPUTES
FOUGHT OUT ON THE FLOOR.

San Francisco, Nov 1.-The most
leading Of the trade jurisdiction dis
putes, that existing between the brew
ers and the engineers, the fremen and
transfers employed at breweries, was
fought out on the floor OF the American
Federation Of Labor convention today,
An men employed about brewerIes at
the present time are organized. not
IN unions OF their craft, but as part
Of the Brewers union. representa-
tiycs OF the teamsters, the engineers
aud the firemen's international unions
asked the delegates TO the convention
to vote favogably on resolution calling
for the men occupied In these trades
about bfewcries 10 be compelled 70 join
the unions nj their respective crafts.
An able argument on behalf OF the eS-
istng condition Of things was made by
Delegate Kemper OF the International
Brewery Workers union lie held that
Il was unjust to take men from their
Organization against their Will AS TO
teamsters, he claimed there were really
none IN his organization, inasmuch As
the men working az hauling were
known as brewery wagon drivers, The
resolution az originally introduced wos
80 wordcd as 10 read that engineers,
firemen and drivers employed about
brewerles may become members OF
their respective craft organizations aud
secede from the brewery international
organization n they so elect. An
amendment was proposed by motion
that the word "shall' be substituted for
the word "may.' Il was over this ques.
ton that the debate was waged. Rep
resentatlves Of the brewers claimed that
the substitution would mean the dis
ruption Of their international organlza-
ton. They made the plea that after
the expenditure OF time and money 20
organize an brewery workers II would
be an act Of tyranny 20 tear them ffom
the brewery workers.

GEN. RAFAEL REYES REPORT

For Conditions As They
Now Are.

New York, Oct. COPIES have just
been received here of the report to his
government of Gen. Rafael Reyes (now
president of Colombia) who was sent
to this country on a special diplomatic
mission in an attempt to modify the
action of the American government in
regard TO Colombian interests in Pana-
ma. The mission was without result.
The report, which is Of considerable
,ength, severely arraigns lne short
sightedness of the Colombian repre-
,entatives that led to the rlisfortunes
which befell Colombia after the nego-
.iations over tho Hay-Herran treaty
ELL through.
In conclusion the report says:
We must admit that the United
States government had granted to us,
by way of compensation, in the Hay
Herran treaty much more than We had
asked In the memorandum of our min
lister in Washington, which served as a
basis for that treaty Comparing these
two documents, the government Of the
United States might well point to the
generosity of its dealings with Colon.

Holding Their Crop.

The farmers Of Mississippi are be.
coming convinced that higher prices
will prevail for cotton this year, and
they are holding the product to await
the advance. The reports from the
principal market towns show that
the receipts are far below expecta-
tions, and il seems that whenever
the farmers can make financial ar
rangements to do so they are storing
the staple, feeling confident of an
advance in prices later on. Some of
them are SO sanguine that they pre-
diet 15-cent cotton before the end of
the season, The banks are giving
material aid in the effort to hold
back the crop by making substantial
loans to the farmers who are in need
of money.

Fislnu the Tax Rate.

The different boards OF SUPER
visors Of the State arc now fixing The
tax rate for the coming year, and
within the next few weeks il is cx-
pccted that all Of the counties will
have reported TO thc auditor their
tax rate for the coming year. 1t is
not believed that there will be any
material increase in the tax levy this
year in the counties. In some Of
them, of course, there will be
an increase, but in the great majority
the rate will remain the same. The
increase in the county rate can be
accounted for in most of the counties
on the ground that the supervisors
have adopted the contract system for
working the public roads, which
takes one mill more, this being the
limit allowed by law for working
the public roads by contract.

Joseph Jefferson, the Veteran Actor,
Announces His Retirement.
WIN Round Out His Life Amid Ma
ture, Books, Painting and the So-
ciety of Family and friends.

New York, Oct Joseph Jefferson,
after more than 10 years on the stage,
during which time he has become one
of the most honored and beloved mem.
bers Of the dramatic profession, has
decided absolutely never 10 resume his
theatrical career Deepest regret was
expressed by all who heard him make
the announcement.
Mr.. Jefferson arrived here from Bos-
ton, where he had rested few days,
recuperating from his recent illness at
Buzzard's Bay, which caused the aban-
donment of his fall tour. lie is con-
valescent, but still must be judlcious in
guarding his returning strength, and
will remain here three weeks, after
which he will go by easy stages to
Florida. stopping in Washington for a
time and again in Atlanta.
It was matter Of several days 81
lent and trying discussion for tho vet
eran actor before he finally decided to
retire. He loves the footlghts, but
realized that at his age oDe must be
careful not to overstran q constitu-
ton, where he had rested 4 few days,
for severe effort.
When the decision was ultimately
reached he quietly announced 1t to his
family.
Il shall never act again" he said,
"My days upon the stage are ended"
Once the decision was made and its
first feeling Of solemnity hid passed,
Mr., jefferson became more cheerful
ut will seem strange at first to act no
more, he added, "but | shl soon get
used 10 that. and shall begin to en-
joy what | have looked forward to
these many years-my long, long holi-
day, in which | shall eujoy uninter-
ruptedly, nature in outdoor life, my
painting my books and pleasant com
panionship with wife, children and
dear friends. begin my holiday at
last"
Paterson, N. j., was the city where
he last appeared. The performance
was in June and. as an odd coincidence
took place not far from his quaint old
summer home, Hohokus, where the
actor resided between seasons for 30
years
