MINERS LIVELY SESSION.
President Dolan Saved From Forced
Resignation by Rules.

After a day characterized by disorder,
Kisses and cat-calls, with frequent demands
to resign the delegates of district No. s.
of the United Mine Workers Union, in con-
vention at Pittsburg yesterday failed to
pass a resolution calling for the resignation
of President Patrick Dolan OF district No. 5
for his action In voting with the operators
IN Indianapolis to sustain the present wage
scale. After several hours of discussion
upon the resolution, which the chair re-
fused to recognize, the convention adjourn
ed last night until this morning, after pass
ing a resolution to appoint a committee on
resolutions, consisting of five members,
which is to report at today's meeting.
Through the entire day Dolan was at
tackled from all sides, and his attitude in
Indianapolis was the object Of much criti-
cism and censure. When the meeting was
called to order there were cries of Traitor"
and Enemy of the miners" and almost
instantly dozen or more of the delegates
were clamoring for recognition. Delegate
Stephen Wetsel presented the resolution
calling for the resignation of Dolan and
Vice President Bellingham.
After securing order President Dolan
said:
when I went to Indianapolis I was as
strong an advocate of strike, If necessary,
as any man In the convention. During the
American Federation of Labor convention
here John Mitchell and w. D. Ryan told
me they would like to see US get restora-
ton Of the last wage scale said l would
like to get it, but did not believe 1t possible
In Indianapolis w. d. Ryan told me per-
sonally he thought we would be doing well
to secure a continuance of the present rate
because a strike would be demoralfzing to
our organization. There are $1,000 unor-
ganized miners between the union station
and Johnstown, and 1t was because of these
things that I voted in favor of the opera
tors proposition. l know what 1t Is to
carry on strike better than any one here,
or as well. 1t means camps, funds and
worries that few of those here have had
experience in meeting. | know what OBJ
stacles are to be met, what we must eX-
pect to go up against"
When the resolution of custer was pre-
scented President Dolan- called Vice Presi-
dent Rellingham to the chair, and from the
floor of the convention, addressing the dele
gates, said: Il was elected president of
this organization by the miners of the Pitts
burg district, and they alone can remove
me. l will not be bluffed nor will l re-
sign. Resolutions must be presented under
the seal Of the local unions, and must be In
the hands of the secretary before the con-
Vention conveneS The resolution is out of
order, and cannot be considered"
This raised another uproar and only after
Secretary Dodds had explained that the
resolution was not in accord with the rules
was the business of the convention pro-
ceeded with. Then the committee on reso-
buttons was appointed. and the adjourn
ment was taken.
Fearing that a strike among the coal
miners might occur the Carnegie Steel
Company Is preparing for an emergency
and Is storing its yards with coal.

A BADGE OF HONOR
PRESIDENT SAYS UNIFORM
SHOULD BE RESPECTED.

In letter to Secretary Taft, President
Roosevelt declares that 1.-The uniform of the
enlisted man (of the army or navy is a
badge of honor" and that it entities the
wearer Ito peculiar consideration.
Secretary Taft transmitted the proceed
ings of the court-martial In the case of
Lieut.. Roy I. Taylor, who was reduced
twelve files for unbecoming conduct to-
ward an enlisted man of his command. A
sergeant of his company occupied a seat
at a theater in front of Taylor. At the
latters request or direction the sergeant
moved to another part of the house.
The Presidents letter follows:
In my judgment Lieut.. Taylor committed
one of the most serious faults which any
officer can commit 1 am glad that he was
reduced twelve files. 1t is a pleasure to
record the fact that his offense was alto
getherd exceptional In the body to which
he belongs; know of no other officer who
has ever been guilty of similar miscon-
duct.
There is no body of men in this coun-
try Of similar size which merits so we'll Of
the country as the body of officers and en-
listed men in the army and navy Of the
United States. Not only should the coun-
try as a whole jealousy guard the inter
ests Of these men and regard their honor as
being identified In a peculiar degree and
In a peculiar sense with It's own, but the
members of the bodies should themselves
feel the same jealous eagerness to uphold
the honor and standlng-af all connected
with 1t. Above all this should be the OBJ
ject of the officers as regards the en-
listed men.
The more civilized nation is the more
honestly DESTROYS 1t is of securing peace,
the greater should be the care with which
1t fosters and encourages the preserva-
ton of the military virtues among its cit
liens; and in no way can this be better
achieved than by a resolute effort to Sc
cure proper recognition for the enlisted
men of the army and navy. The uniform
of the enlisted man Is a badge of honor.
1t entities him to peculiar consideration.
1t shows that In the great majority of
cases he has learned those habits of self
command, or self-restraint, of obedience,
and of fearlessness in the face of danger,
which put him above most of his fellows
who have not possessed similar privileges.
To strive to discriminate against him in
any way IS literally an infamy; for 1t is
In reality one of the most serious offenses
which can be committed against the stabil-
ity and greatness of our nation. If hotel
keeper or the owner of theater or any
nation, everything possible should be done
by all good citizens to make the man at
tempting 1t feel the full weight of just
popular resentment, and, If possible, legal
proceedings should be taken against him.
AS for the commissioned officers, 1t both
is and must be their pride alike to train
the enlisted men how to do this duty and
to see that the enlisted man who does his
duty Is held in honor and respect.

A MAGNIFICENT PUBLICATION.

1t is pleasant task to acknowledge
the receipt of so interesting a publica-
ton as that which has just reached
the Blade office-the fiftieth anniver-
sary number of the Pacific Commercial
Advertiser, issued July End in Homo
lulu, Hawaii Territory.
It has been said of national colonization
that the first thing a Spanish pioneer
does in new territory is to establish
a mission; the first thing a French
colonist does is to locate a fort; the
Dutch a trading post for traffic with
the natives; the British, an inn or
hostelry; and the first thing an Amer
lean colonist does is to establish a
newspaper Office and inform the rest
of the world OF the happenings of the
colony. This must certainly have been
the case in Honolulu, for directly that
American settlers entered the town of
Honolulu they followed this custom at
tributed to all American colonists, and
the newspaper in question made its ap-
pearance
The opening article of the magazine
by R. Q. Matheson-"one Hundred
Years of Honolulu''-is a most read
able account of that city's history
since its origin in a cluster OF grass
huts. Some of the reproductions Of
old illustrations are remarkably inter
estipp One bI1ndre5 and twenty ra oes
of reading matter and Illustrations
with three supplements and a hand
some cover are included in the edition.
1t is not only complete representa-
tive issue of Honolulu today, but it
gives a most exhaustive description of
the Honolulu of former days that is SO
rapidly vanishing. A portion of the
paper is printed in the native tongue.-

BABY KILLED ON THE K1NAu.

When the Kinau left Honolulu last
Tuesday there were among the passen-
gers Mrs. Caroline Travis and her
seven-months-oId child The young
mother was going to Hilo to visit her
aunt, Mrs. Kalei. The ship had hardly
got clear of the harbor entrance when
an accident occurred which robbed the
mother of her baby. IS Mrs. Travis
was going down the stairway from tae
upper deck she slipped and lost her
hold on the child. The baby pitched
forward and fell to the lower deck. II
was picked up at once, but nothing
could be done for the little one. It
passed away in very little time.
The mother was inconsolable. The
facts were reported to the police de-

IS GUAM
Former Honolulu Man
Writes From the
ladrones.

Guam is not the most inviting place
in the world for American home-seek-
ers-aceording to a private letter of
late date, received by K. c. Hopper,
of the Advertiser Office, from his step
father, Chas. G. Wheeler {famiharly
known as ebert y, c. NJ. NJ. on the
q. S. S. Supply, now stationed at Guam.
Mr.. Wheeler is one of the survivors of
the Bennington disaster in San Diego
harbor, July %, 1905; and previous to
that memorable date he was resident
of Honolulu.
"Of all the places on this planet,
writes Mr.. Wheeler. "that are con-
spicuous for being no place at all,
Guam, l.. l., is prominently 1T, and
Agana is it's capital. The daily occupa-
tion of all native, and nearly all the
enforced population, is waiting for to-
morrow, with the odds on the native
for conspicuous ingenuity in inventing
more successful ways of doing nothing
and still making believe that he really
has valid excuse for remaining on the
earth.
THE native (Chimoro) is good
natured, honest and obliging; the ma
tive (Spaniard) is here, as he is any
where else you find him, more particu-
larry in those banana republics down
the American coast, where their chief
exports are organ-grinders and misft
dictators, s,--high-heeled, naughty and

incidentally they have filed up some of
