nouncing United States Marshal Grim
shaw as guilty of treachery to the cause
of Dunn, which he paints in vivid
colors.
"Grimshaw travelled thru the state,n
he says, "making speeches for Dunn
and posing as an enthusiastic republic
can worker. He, however, more than
counteracted whatever good he may
have done for our cause by telling peo-
pie on the side that Dunn was sure to
be defeated, and johnson triumphantlv
elected. He came back to Minneapolis
and told this on the streets and in con-
versations both with republicans and
democratic workers, discouraging the
former and enthusing the latter. I
have heard his remarks to this effect
quoted a score Of times. He even had
himself quoted in a newspaper as pre-
dieting Dunn s defeat.
IT consider this political treachery Of
the basest kind, and I mean to tell the
gentleman. what | think of him in as
vigorous language as I can command
when I meet him. I'll bet $500 that
Grimshaw won't be re>2pointed~ United
States marshal, when his present term
expires.'

cincts Overcome Haynes Lead,

cided did the Jones managers express
the slightest doubt as to the success of

made careful estimates and the thoro
personal organization which cam
perative was of material assistance in
the closing hours Of the fight in sup
plying the accurate information. The
Jones men early in the day. predicted
that they would win on the returns
from the late precincts and the result
showed them to be right.

Unprecedented Offers to Build Three
 New Vessels.
 Washington, Dec. 15. Unprecede ly low bids were offered to-day for the construction of the battleship New Hampshire and the armored cruisers Montana and North Carolina, pro- posals for which were opened at the navy department at noon in the pres ence of representatives of shipbuild- ing companies from the Pacific and Att lantic coasts. It Is probable that an of ficial announcement will award the contract for the cruisers to the Newport News Shipbuilding company for $3,575,- 900 each, and the battleship to the New York Shipbuilding company for $3,74S,- 900, those being the lowest bids offered as not more than two ships can be awarded to one company. The lowest aggregate bids for these three ships was exactly $1, ,377, 900 less than the az gregate lowest bids for three sister ships little over year ago, reduction of Il per cent. in price. The navy de- pertinent while gratified at the reduce tion, is unable to assign any reason for it, except the fact that the shipbuilders are badly in need of work

ACCIDENT ON BATYLESHIP
THREE KILLED AND TOUR TER
 RIBLY SCALDED.

GaslSet of Boiler of the Massachusetts
 Gives Way Allowing n Terrific Rush
 of steam and Hot Water--Heroic Rescue Work os Lieutenant-The Dead and Injured.
 Philadelphia, Dec. I5.ACaught in a trap and helpless to save themselves, three men lost their lives and four oth- CTS, including Lieutenant William Cole, were terribly scalded to-day by a rush of steam and boiling water in the fire room of the battleship Massachusetts, lying at the League Island navy yard. The dead are; Edward Bub, married, boiiermaker and civilian: Charles Rit- gel. boilermaker's helper and civilian. \
 Injured: Lieutenant William Cole, U. S. N, assistant chief engineer of the Massachusetts, scalded about the head and body. Taken to the naval hospi- tai. William Anderson, ships boiler maker, badly scalded, taken to the naval hospital. James Wilson, boiler makers helper and civilian employe, scalded, taken to Methodist hospital. Joseph A. Duran, boilermaker's helper and civilian, scalded, taken to St. Ag- nes hospital.
 With the exception of Lieutenant Cole all the killed and injured resided in Philadelphia.
 Lieutenant Cole received his injuries in an heroic effort to rescue the others.
 The accident was caused by the giving way of a gasket, or rubber washer, on boiler on the starboard side of the ship.
 The Massachusetts has been in the navy yard for some time undergoing extensive repairs, particularly to the boilers and machinery.
 Although Captain Edward Taussig and his complement of officers and men are aboard the ship, the Massach chusetts is virtually in charge of the officers of the navy yard The boiler on which the accident occurred had recently been cleaned and thoroughly tested and the boilermakers were to-day at work on another boiler. Without warning the gasket between the boiler plate and the boiler head gave way and terrific rush of steam and hot water occurred. The doors of the fire room were closed at the time the accident occurred, and the only avenue of escape was safety ladder. Only one man, Bramlet, a ships fireman though of the ladder and he escaped without scar.
 A few of those on the upper decks knew what had happened as the steam came rushing up from below. The work of rescue was prompt, and to this promptness those who escaped owe their thanks. The first to enter the fire hole was Lieutenant Cole. With out hesitating at becoming scalded by the hot water and steam he entered quickly and dragged the men from the place to the door, where they were taken In charge by others. Bub and Hamilton were dead when found, and Ritzel died few, minutes after being taken on deck.

 MT. Gompers said that labor had found out through the Civic Federation that employers are not modern mon ters," which they used to picture them in the past. He said he welcomed, ad- visedly, for labor which he represent ed, the organizations of employers.
 When MT. Gompers, in announcing kept him away, wished for a speedy recovery and improved health for the iron master, there was much applause. He then introduced Ralph M. Easily, who read MT, Carnegie's address.

 1T hope the time will never come when men will cease to strike. I believe the best way to establish peace is to fight. But don't believe that strikes, lockouts, black lists or boycotts, should ever be allowed where there is chance for peace"

 St. Petersburg, Dec. t5.-A special council was held this afternoon at Tsarskoe- -Selo under Emperor Nicholas, lat which President of the Ministerial Council Witte, Minister of the Interior sviatopolk Mlrsky and Minister of Jus #tice Muravieff discussed the question of reforms.
