STRIKES ROCKS AND
 BOILER EXPLODES
A TWo-MAsTED STEAMER GOES TO THE BOTTOM AND NOT ONE OF HER CREW SURVIVES THE DIS. ASTER.

Halifax, N s., November 21.-The vio- lent storm which swept the coast of Nova Scotia the latter part of last week apparently has claimed another victim. A two-masted steamer is thought to have gone to the bottom on Thursday afternoon off Beaver Harbor. fifty-five miles off Halifax. Her identity has not been es- tablished and so far as can be ascer- tained no one of her crew survived.
 News of the disaster which is one of the strangest in shipping records, was brought to Halifax tonight by the steamer Kikeel. commanded by Capt. Allen from Port Hastings, c. B., with a cargo of coal. The Kilkeel on Thursday morning ran into a gale. Heading into Beaver Har- bor Captain Allen observed behind him an- other steamer with twomasts and heavily laden, approaching. The gale was then blowing at terrific rate and the sea was breaking heavily on the numerous shoals which stud the coast. When the Kilkeel had reached the haven, the unknown steamer passed west of Horse Island near the harbor entrance which hid her hull. Suddenly cloud of smoke or steam shot upward. and when 1t cleared away the masts of the incoming steamer had van- ished The officers on the Kilkeel, who had been watching the steamer. declared they are positive she went to the bottom, and they say they are sure that no boat could live In the sea which prevailed. They believe that she ran too far west and struck a rock and that as she found- cred her boilers exploded.

SOUVENIRS" ARE
 BARRED BY UNIONS
SMALLER UNIONS ARE CHARGED WITH BOYCOTT AND GRAFT IN GETTING OUT SOUVENIR BOOKS FOR LABOR DAY.

Pittsburg, November 21.-The principal feature of todays sessions of the Amer ican Federation of Labor came in the af- ternoon, when the section of the grievanc , committees report was presented asking for the abolition of the souvenir pro- gramme in connection with union labor events. It charged representatives Of the smaller labor unions throughout the con- try with grating. forgery and threaten. ing the employers with strikes and boy cotts in getting out souvenir books for labor day and other occasions. Many of the leading delegates to the convention. including President Gompers. talked on the question, and while the names of the labor unions against which the charges were made were not uncovered, labor leaders in every city were accused of the practice.
 A resolution was offered and adopted condemning the issuing of Touvenir books by the labor unions, and hereafter 1t is likely that none will be issued.
 The exposure came about as a result of resolution offered condemnng the Philadelphia Central Labor union tor using advertisements of firms whose names had been placed on the unfair lst' in the souvenir programme issued last labor day. Some of the delegates from small towns were opposed to the resolu- ton prohibiting the issuing of the sou- venir books claiming that 1t was in this manner that the bulk of the money used by the organizations was raised Finally one of the delegates accused those having charge of the "Federationists" the of ficial organ of the federation, of applying the same methods. tut a vigorous denial was made by President Gompers, who Is editor of the paper. He said that the "Federationist' never got out souvenirs and challenged any of the delegates to ex- pose any corruption in connection with the publication of the paper.

Exciting Scenes Are Witnessed
 in New Orleans
RISE IN PRICES IS RAPID
Active Month Was fo5 Points Above Lowest of the Day-Country Buyer Makes Large Part
 of the Money.

New Orleans, November 21.-with the
 ginners report coming like bolt from clear sky today marked the most exeit- ing of the year in the local cotton mar ket. From the lowest to the highest the range in prices throughout the active fu-
 ture positions ran high as 105 points, and the net gain over yesterdays closing after the satisfied longs had taken profits was from S7 to S9 points. or from A.30 to $4. .45 a bale. Scenes of indescribable ex- citement peryaded the ring as the wild bull movement sent prices skyward. When the report was due at o'clock, local time, prices were at .he lowest of the day. with March down to 10S0 and De- cember to 10. 50. Nearly every bull .oensd for a report of S,000,000 bales and few or them were supporting the market excef-
 with cotton they had bought below 10 cents a pound. With the reading of the report the ring became immediately frenzied mass of bowling brokers. The re- port was interpreted to mean. compared with last year, a crop of 100000 bales, and compared with the year preceding of 10, 500, GOO bales, while if the estimate of the Southern Cotton association that so per cent of the crop was actually ginned this year up to November IA was con sidered, the indications were for crop of slightly below 100000 bales
 The figures were scarcely out Of the reading clerks mouth when March took leap of 60 points. From that time forward the market with short spells of intermis- sion, shot up and up until the actlve month was 105 points above the lowest or the day. There was wild scramble Of the bears to unload at any price as the feei- ing of panic spread over them, ana lne day ended with a net advance that was little short of sensational, December clos ing sS points higher at il. 47; January N points higher at 11.59, and March sS points higher at 11.S0.
 ss. When spots were marked up at the close it was seen that they were 7-16 higher IT nearly half cent a pound, and factors said there was not a bale for sale any where.
 The greatest amount of money made in the present rise is credited to the couh- try buyer from the outside. The profess sionals made little on the day In the opinion of well informed cotton men, IL will be difficult to purchase spots rom this time on at less than 12 cents per pound in the interior and tremendousy exciting day ended with the belief pretty general that the prospect of crop equal ling the consumption was no longer to pc looked for.

Manning Waxes Warm.

Albany. N. r., November 21-When William S. Manning of this city, was told of the part his name had played in the New York insurance investigation today, he replied with considerable heat:
 If they want to hear from me, let them call me before the committee. can tell Mir Hughes a few things. The place where he should turn his searchlight is not so much on the officers of the in- surance companies. as on the insurance department and the legislature. The de- partment Is much to blame-to blame vhether It's officials knew the things were ro,ne on or not--because if they did not they were incompetent"
