LABOR DAY IN BARRE.

Labor day means q cessation of work
for the toiling masses; 1t is day set
apart IN honor OF the lahoring man.
As such, its observance should have
some distinctive features 20 mark it
from the various other holidays Of the
year. The visitor to Barre yesterday
would not have known that il was
Labor day, although he might readily
have seen that holiday Of some sort
was on. But as for distinctive marks.
there was nothing 10 diiferentiate the
day from the Saturday half-holiday
which IL given throughout the summer.
Memorial day brings up the memories
OF the veterans Of the great Civil war.
Independence day reminds Of the days
of 1915. The Christmas season has a
flavor peculiarly its own SO with the
whole list Of holidays which come To
ns. Then why not q distinctive mark
to make Labor day what il was intend.

There seems to be q disposition on
the part Of President Roosevelt to rccede
somewhat from his position in the sim
pliied spelling reform. In his latest
Statements he replies to his critics BY
saying that he was not attempting any
thing revolutionary, nor did he intend
to initiate any far-reaching policy. He
says that II the intended changes do
not ultimately meet with proper APP

the Presidents new method, they will

arisen following his pronunciamento,
there y a widespread disapproyal
against the changes.

DIR. DEPEW'S
 TOGA INTACT
Bracket Tugged at if in
 Vain
His Resolution for Calling for the Senator's Resignation Received Only His Own Vote.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 16.- The state senate this afternoon by a vote of 34 to 1, rejected the resolution of Sena- tor Edgar T. Bracket. of Saratoga, demanding the resignation of Chaun- cey NJ. Depew from the United States senate.- After q debate lasting more than three hours and characterized on the one hand by Senator Brackets un- sparing denUnciatiOn of Senator De pew and the insurance companies and on the other by almost every harsh criticism of the judgment and the mo- tives of the introducer of the motion, the roll call showed Senator Brack- ett's own vo5e to be the only one in favor of the resolution.
 Every other republican senator vot- ed against iC, with the exception of Senator Armstrong of Rochester. who is in New York at work on the insur- ance investigation committee reports and he sent a telegram to Senator Tul- ley, his colleague on the committee to the. effect that if he were present he would vote against the resolution.
 The fourteen democratic senators were excused from voting. The prin- cipaI speeches in opposition to the res oIution and in defense of Senator De pew were made by Senators Malby Cassidy, Raines, Coggeshall. Lewis and White, while Senator Elsberg denounc- ed the resolution and it's introdUcer and said especially that the senate was in no position to pass such a resolution while it rested under Senator Brack- ett's insinuatiOn that its members had been debauched by the use of yellow dog" funds.
 Senator Cassidy referred to Senator Depew's active critics as fomenting public censure in order under the cloak of reform, to steal his officia position"

MINE WORKERS
 IN CONVENTION
President Mitchell Announces a Prob
 able Anthracite Conference.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 16.- President John MitchelTs announcement this af- ternoon that satisfactory progress is being made toward a conference be- wteen the mine workers and operators of the anthracite region" drew round after round of applause from the 1900 delegates assembled in Tomlinson hall for the seventeenth annual convention of the United Mine Worksrs of Ameri- ca, which began this morning. This an- nOuncement was made in the course of the presidents annual report and address, almost as an incidental re- mark. There was no further expIana- tiOn in regard to the anthracite situ- alton from President Mitchell, but the word of their chief was enough and when, a few minutes later delegates came in from the streets with the ru- mor that President Thomas of the Le- high Valley company was reported to have said that the anthracite operators had agreed to hold a conference with the committee apOinted by the mine workers in their Shamolxin convention, the enthusiasm knew no bounds.
 MT. Mitchell said that notwithstand- ing the opposition of open foes and protesting friends" there had been a oNAiJS AANAc1l lANiGeSC III lLS IlbLlitIlCdl strength of the organization and the paid-up membership had passed the 30OO 900 mark. The gain in the anth- racite field was 41,477.
 President Mitchell said the commit tee appointed at the Shamokin, Pa, convention to confer with representa- tives of the mining companies for the purpose of formulating an agreement was making satisfactory progress. He 1, called attention to the increase in ma chine mined coal to 2S.7S per cent of the total production and urged that strenuous efforts be made to establish fixed differentiaI. The executive board, he said, had prepared a bill for the presentation to the state legisla- lures, the object of which is to pro- vide for the examination of persons seeking employment in the mines and so prevent the employment Of incOm- petent men. The bill passed in con- gress for the creation of a government bureau of mines was endorsed in the address.

Hostile Attitude Yesterday of the Members
 of the Committee on Territories
They Sought Trap the Arzonans Into Damaging State ments-The Opposition to the Joint Statehood Bill Is Stronger Than Ever.

another hearing tomorrow morning and some of the delegation profess to believe that they will be able to meet the situation. Some Of the Ari2onians here objected to the delegation ask ing for a hearing by this committee, on the ground that the committee is hostile and intends to be hostile and that it's object is to endeavor to bring out evidence in support of the state ments made by Beveridge and other enemies of tne territory
 It is thought also by some of the delegation that the president will re- cede from his attitude He is the one man who has caused the existing situ
 ation. If he were to cease calling members of congress to the White House and lecturing them on the folly of opposing his program, if ne were
 to intimate to the house leaders that the question of statehood might safe ly be left to congress and if the lead CTS were to receive such word from
 him there would be no danger of joint
 ure whatever, but he has adopted BeV- eridge's views regarding Arizona and New Mexico, and incorporated them in
 his message and he stands pat, as ev-
 cry visitor to the White House knows.
 Moreover he persists in declaring that there is a corrupt lobby here and denials by the Arizonians who have called upon him have not caused him to retract his statement. If the mem bers of the Arizona delegation confine
 their efforts to laying the facts before
 the Republican members of congress and bringing influence to bear upon them to the end that MT. Babcock, the leader of the insurgents since MT. Tawney took back seat, may
 strengthen his following they will be doing the most good.
 If the committee on territories con tinues it's offensive tactics tomorrow, there is likely to be some plain talk by Delegate Smith and others who ap- | preciate the situation. MT. Smith in | tended today to rise in the house to q question of personal privilege and de- nounce the charges that corrupt lob by is at work here but he was per

Opposing Republicans and Democrats Pulled
 Apart at the Last Moment
The Railroad Rate Regulation Question Comes Up in the Senate for Fairly Full Discussion at an Entirely Unexpected Moment

Washington, Jan. 16.- The Philip pine tariff bill was passed by the house today substantially as it came from the ways and meaps committee. The vote was 25S to T. Rice was made subject to the same tariff as sugar and tobacco-25 per cent of the Dingley rate-and one or two changes were
 made as to the language.
 This result was attained after de- cidedly the most strenuous day of the present congress. The many amend ments which were launched and went 70 pieces in the storm of debate and against the rock which the house rules constituted, left much legislative wreckage and many records, only use 6ul for future political purposes.
 Republican opposition to the bill in the interest of American beet and sug- ar cane and tobacco tried out its strength early and gave up. This op- position refused to affiliate with the democratic efforts. The strongest plea for ''insurgent'' support was made in behalf of Champ .Clark's kn.erdment requiring the differentiaI on refined sugar. The minority sought to duplicate the house record made on the. Cuban reciprocity act, but they r. ckCned without thelr host today, as Eno5 C republican opponent to this measure stood with them to overrule the decision of the chair. The Demo- cratic substitute met with only the support of the minority, and went down under q vote of 231 to 106. On the final passage of the bill, the in I sorgents'' demanded a roll call, that their record might be preserved.

CHINESE NEEDED
 IN CANAL ZONE
Chief Engineer Stevens Tells the Sem
 ate Committee.

Washington. Jan. 16.-Chief Engi- neer Stevens, in charge of the con- struction of the Panama canal, was before the senate committee on inter oceanic canals throughout the day. He gave much important testimony in re- gard to labor conditions, declaring that the acts making the eight hour and Chinese exclusion laws applicable to the canal zone must be repealed if the situation is to be met economically and the canal built within a reasonable time. The minority report of the con- sulting board of engineers regarding the type of canal was not received to- day and therefore MT. Stevens will be called for examination on this subject before he sails for the isthmus. The committee will meet tomorrow to take up the nominations for canal commits sioners, but there is said to be little chance of an agreement being reach ed at this meeting to report the nom nations to the senate.
 Sanitary and labor conditions were considered. MT. Stevens described the negro laborer from Martinique and Ja- maica as sshiftless and incompetent to such an extent that the payment of ] small wage for an eight hour day is proving an extravaganza. He declar- ed that the repeal of the eight 'hOuI law, as far as it applies to the canal zone. is a necessity, and that it would be beneficial to legislate so that the Chinese exclusion act will not apply tC the zone. He said that such legisla- ton would in no manner injure Am- erican labor, as the latter is unfitte6 for employment there.
 It was his opinion that the com mission is getting matters in shape so that a good showing can be made ir congress in the near future.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 16.-(Spe
 ciaD-Sone of the Arizona delegation appeared before the house committee on territories this morning and were afforded an object lesson in respect of the committees determination to be unfair. From Chairman Hamilton down the Republican members of the committee sought to commit the dele gation to statements which might be employed in the interest of jointure. F,x-Goverhor Powers. of Maine, who time and again has demonstrated his ignorance of conditions in Arizona was particularly offensive, adopting a sneering tone and making il plain that he did not consider the claims of the territory worthy of consideration.
