 The prince spent the morning quietly. went for an automobile ride in the after noon, and tonight was the guest of Mayor Mcclellan at dinner.
 To the keen annoyance of the prince, his remarks several days ago about the disastrous effect upon the tall buildings in New York of the combined fire of eigh- teen warships anchored in the North river, have been misinterpreted as a crit csm of New Yorks defenses. In reply to the direct question, Do you think the combined fleet of vessels from their an chorages in the North river could de stroy the tall buildings in New York" the prince said he certainly did think such result would follow a bombardment directed from the anchorage. Naval off, ficers of both squadrons regret that the

 Manifesto.

St. Petersburg November 1S.-Poland IS not to be permitted to become a second Finland. The Russian government in a strongly worded communication published this morning serves notice on the Polish nationalists that for good or i'll, the ancient kingdom of Poland has now be- come an integral part of the Russian em- pire, and that while the government 1n- tends to observe fully the national rights of Poland any attempt to wrest Polish autonomy from the Emperor would be considered an act of revolt. and would lead the Poles into the sorrowful paths trodden by them in 1881 and 1S63
 The Russian authorities recognize the gravity of the movement in which two antagonistic parties, the nationalsts and socialists, under the leadership of such Poles as Henrik Sienkiewiez, the novelist, have joined forces. and they declare that none of the benefits of the emancipation manifesto can be ce ferred on country 'in revolt.'

The EFFECTS OF
GOMPERS' COMING
BETTER FEELING IN LOCAL
LABOR CIRCLES.
President of the American Federation
Was Well Entertained and Made a
Favorable Impression in Minneapolis
He Visited His Fellow Craftsmen,
the Cigarmakers, Last Night.

Everything has been set aside in Ia,
Dor circles this week, and all Joined in
an endeavor to make the stay of Samuel
Gompers in Minneapolis memorable.
The eff :rts in this direction were not
confined to the labor unions, for the va
rious business mems associations and
fraternal organizations fairly outdid
themselves in their hospitality. That
Mr.. Gompers made a favorable impress
tact, there is little doubt.
All connected with organized, labor
are proud Of the showing made at the
Auditorium Tuesday night, when nearly
5000 gathered to hear the acknowl
edged leader Of the labor movement on
the American continent. Favorable
comment is heard on all sides in labor
circles when President 'Go,mpers speech
is referred to, and it is believed that his
visit here has done much to show labor
organizations up in their true light.
A considerable portion Of Wednesday
and Thursday was given up to hearing
the evidence of those for and against
the removal of the boycott placed upon
the product of local milling company
shortly after, the strike of August, 1908.
Feeling between the different. factions
has been intense for long time. If
nothing else is accomplished, it is safe
in measure to .dissipate much of the
bad feeling which existed, and the pre-
diction is freely made that, whatever
the decision of the executive council,
the factions here will be found united
in carrying out the decree. Not hint
has been dropped by Mr.. Gompers as
to what may be expected regarding the
boycott, and those who know, him best
believe he will carefully review all the
! az
| the same to the executive board of the
A. F. of L. without recommendation.
However, all look for decision which
will leave no room for doubt as to what
is meant.

local cigarmakers' union at Union Tenn
pie last night. He is the first vice
president of the International union,
and has ''carried his card for over
