Berger secured the floor to make an

statement was as follows:

AS was anticipated the convention
unanimously seated Schardt, represent
ing the Chicago Federation of Labor,
yesterday. President Gompers was in
structed to go to Chicago and endeavor
to impress upon the Chicago Federation
the necessity of complying with the
law of the American Federation. If the
Chicago Federation does not see the
error of it's ways within thirty days
its charter will be finally revoked. Dur
ing the thirty days the matter will be
in suspension. In the meantime, how
ever, Schardt is seated and the Chica-
go Federation has as much power in
the convention as if it had not defied
the convention by non-obedience to
commands by the executive council of
the American Federation.
A lively tilt took place on the con-
vention floor yesterday in reference to
accepting advertisements for the Fed
erationist, the organ of the American
Federation, from unfair" business
houses, to bring non-uniOn goods be-
fore the readers of the Federationist,
all of whom are members of the Amer
lean Federation. A bunch of resolu-
tions was adopted, among which was
one denouncing the Citizens Alliance
of the Cripple Creek district in Colora-
do as that gang of criminals" And
Governor Peabody was called that
capitalistic tyrant." A resolution was
adopted for the exclusion of japanese
from the United States. A resolution
that instructed delegates to move TO
have the practice of law open to every
Cne was rejected.
This forenoon the special order will
be reports from the Western Fedora
tion of Miners.

FIRE ON U. S.FLAC
San Domingo Insurgents Kill a
Naval Engineer.

San Domingo, Feb. 6.-The insurgents
have deliberately fired on the launch
of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, kill
bullet entered his head above the eye.
United States Minister Powell has di-
rected the captain of the Yankee to
take drastic measures to avenge John
stons death and this insult to the
American flag.
The body of Johnston was escorted
to its grave in the Santa Barbara GEM
etery by a detachment of marines, blue
Jackets and officers from the Yankee
headed by the ships band.
There were in all 100 men from the
cruiser in the cortege. Mr.. Powell,
American consul and vice consul and
nearly all diplomatic and consular rep
resentatives here went to the funeral.
The provisional government sent a de-
tachment of troops to act as an escort.
The flags over the government building
and the various conSulates were at half
mast. The coffin was covered with
wreaths of flowers, one of which had
been sent by the German consulate on
behalf of Emperor William while 9th
erS were from the American legation,
the American consulate, etc.
The streets of the city were thronged
with people as the funeral procession
passed. and there were many express
sions of sorrow at Johnston's death.
Great surprise is expressed by the
foreigners here. and especially by the
Yankee has not demanded immediate
satisfaction for this ineXcuSable act,
and for firing upon the American flag
by the insurgents.

.BRISTOW IS VERY SICK.
His Friends Are Greatly Alarm
ed About His Condition.

Washington. Feb. 6.-Joseph L. Bris-
tow, the fourth assistant postmaster
general has an acute attack of grip,
which is aggravated by a weakness
almost approaching physical exhaus-
t3ozz.
Mr. Bristow's associates have for
months been insisting upon his taking
a rest The enormous amount of work
he has done would have undermined
the most robust constitution. Because
of this weakened condition. his friends
are greatly alarmed over the attack of
grin.
Mr. Bristow is troubled with insomnia.
In addition to directing the work of the
remarkable postoffice investigation,
which included every state in the Union
and nearly every town of consequence
in its many ramificationS, Mr. Bristow
directly controlled all the work of his
important bureau. To this bureau was
added the free delivery service both
urban and rural.
These divisions had formerly been
controlled by the first assistant post
master general, but were transferred to
crookedneSS which had been unearthed
and the intimate knowledge of their
management necessary in order to fer
ret out the fraud, it devolved on Mr..
Bristow and his assistants to prepa re
the evidence for the numerous criminal
prosecutions in progress. While these
matters were pending, he declined to
take the rest which physicians told him
was imperative.

THE DEWEY TRIAL DRAGSp
Another Panel of Veniremen Ordered
Drawn by the Judge.

Norton, Kan, Feb. 6.-No session of
court was held in the Dewey case this
forenoon as the regular and special
panels of veniremen were exhausted last
night. Judge Geiger is now drawing a
special venire of $50 more So far the
defense has used three peremptory ehai-
lenges and the state none. Probably
no further court until Mondoy.
The present term of the Norton county
court viii end at midnight, Feb. 20. II
a that time this court has not finished
the Dewey trial then in progress, the
proceedings will have been a mistrial,
or just the same, so far as the law is
concerned, as if the defendants had new
er been in court. And so it will be seen
that if the trial does not end by two
weeks from tonight, the court Will be
compelled to adjourn and reset the case
for some day in the next term. Should
this happen it can readily be seen that
when the case again comes up for trial
the selection of a jury will be practical
ly an impoSSibility.

FUMIGATORS BOUGHT.
City Buys Some That Operate
on New Plan.

If YOU had been peeking through the
keyhole of the inner door at the city
PHYSICIANS office in the city hall this
morning you might have seen something
interesting going on.
A bunch of diphtheria germs was turn
ed loose and then Il new tangled fumiga-
tor touched off The game was to see
whether the fumigat ting apparatus could
corner the diphtheria germs and slay
them. As is common in such war
games it can be stated in this that the
report of the umpires has not yet been
made up
The board of health has bought four
new fumigators of a kind made by one
Pr. L,eininger. They are purchased un-
work the city will keep them, and if they
don't they can be returned and traded
off for old fashioned formaldehyde. The
Leininger fumigators use formaldehyde
in chunks. That is the chief difference
between them and the ordinary fumiga-
tors: It is claimed that they do the
work of fumiga ting for much less ex-
pense than the system now used by the
city. At present the city puts the liquid
formaldehyde in q boiler and shoots the
steam by means of a rubber tube through
the keyhole of the house which is being
fumigated.

First District Senatorial Convention
Takes $50 Ballots

Troy, Kas., Feb. 6.-The sena torial
convention of the First district met at
the court house here Friday afternoon
and after the reelection of R. H. Lar
zelere OF Doniphan as temporary chair
man, and George w. Strahan and c. H.
for half an hour to give the several
committees time to prepare their re-
ports The First district comprises the
counties of DoniDhan and Brown, and
Tor years there has been an agreement
that each county should have the SEN
atorship in regular turn. This is
Brown county's turn.
1he delegation from that county has
Deen instructed for o. ]. Nugent, of
HlawatAa. 1t seems likely that Mr.
Nugent will not be accountable to Don
lpnan county people and that some
receive the support of Brown county
before a nomination can be made 1t is
thought that Doniphan will favor A J.
Aten- After recess a resolution strong
ly lndorsing President Roosevelts ad-
m1nistration was adopted. This was
committee. The temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent and o. J.
Nugent and A. J. Aten placed in norni-
nation. Each received ten votes This
result was unchanged after 200 bal
lots when the convention adjourned
until todav.
The convention met again at 9 o'clock
this morning, and went to balloting
again, with no change from the way it
stood last night. At noon $50 ballots
had been taken without result.
Both sides insist that they will stay
with their candidates. and there is no
talk of a compromise although Scott

HANNA RESTED WELL.
Temperature 1OI, Pulse 50,
This Morning.

Washington. Feb. 6.-Senator Hanna
is very weak today, but DR.. Rixey con-
tinues to view the outcome with con-
fidence. Senator Hanna had a comfort
able night but his fever was higher this
morning. At 10 o'clock this morning
was issued by DR.. Rixey:
Senator Hanna rested we'll. Tenn
perature 1O1; pulse S2''
This brief announcement was all that
was given out. A rise of one degree
from "a hours ago was shown in the
of l 2-5 degrees from the temperature
taken at o'clock last night 1t was
said there was nothing unusual in these
fluctuations as the temperature in such
cases generally falls one or two de-
grees in the morning as compared with
the previous night and the higher tenn
perature for the "a hours causes no
alarm. 1t shows that the minimum for
the day and rising higher which will be
in the case until the climax is reached.
When the crucial point will be passed is
problematical, as Senator Hanna was
first taken i'll three weeks ago today
and If he has had the fever ever since
then, the crucial point should be reach
ed tomorrow. This, however, is only
guess work. The senator's stomach is
in better condition and he is taking
nourishment much more satisfactory
than heretofore.
Senator Beveridge was among. the
early callers this morning
DR.. Rixey has arranged to make four
visits day, the hours besides the early
morning visit, being noon, 4 o'clock and
O'Clock in the evening. These will en-
able the keeping of a regular chart of
the patients Temperature showing the
condition at Identical hours during the
days while the fever is running its
course.
