RIGHT REV. LEIGHTON COLEMAN
 PASSES AWAY.
Bishop Coleman Was Greatly Beloved And widely Known--He Was Just Recovering From At-
 tack Of ulness.

wilmington, Del, Dec. 14.--Right Rev. Leighton Coleman. Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Deia- ware, died today at the Episcopal res idence. "Bish opstead," in this city.
 His death was sudden and was not known until his son. Rev. Alex l.. Dupont Coleman. of New York city. who came here to stay with him after his recent attack of illness, entered his room and found him dead in bed. Bishop Coleman had been i'll only about a week, being first taken with bad cold, which subsequently, developed into kidney trouble and it is presumed that death was directly due to heart failure.

 Bishop Coleman was educated at St. James School and the Episcopal Acad- emy, Philadelphia. and entered the Theological Seminary of New York, graduating after three years course in 1861.
 After serving as rector of several churches in the East he was conse- crated Bishop Of Delaware in 1888.
 Bishop Coleman was widely known outsideE of his church work from his long tntinusd habit nearly every year of tnEfns Journeys afoot, iucognito, in yarious parts of the country. his tours lasting from one. to three weeks. He also took an actiys part in. Masonry.
 The funeral af ske Bishop will take place Tuesday afternoon.

called on General Funston this after noon to further acquaint him with the conditions which prevailed in Go1dfeld previous to the coming of the Federal troops and the situation which led to the sending of Governor Sparks's dis patch 60 Washington asking that troops be sent here
 The visit of these delegates doubtless was because of the efforts that are be- ing made to have the troops recalled.
 General Funston said after the con- ferences were over that the statements made to him were revelation. espe- cialIy those made by the women. who are the wives of prominent citizens of Goldfeld. The statements. he said. showed that for days the women of Goldfield had lived in . state of con- stant terror until the coming of the troops, though no instances of anything more than trivial annoyances were cited.
 The United States Labor Commission CTS are due here tomorrow and already a better feeling is beginning to pre- vail. Both the mine operators and the labor operators say tonight they VIII welcome the commissioners. Represen. tatives of the Goldfeid Mine Owners Association said. that arrangements have been made to bring number of miners from California. Utah, Montana, Arizona and Wyoming, and that about 4S0 will arrive soon. No information as to when they will arrive can be oo- tained. however, and the union men the statements as false.

"A TEN-DAY TRUCE
UNION MEN AFFILIATED WITH FEDERATION RETURN TO WORK.
General Funston Holds Several Confer ences With Delegations from GOldheId's Federation of
 Women's Clubs.

GoIdfield. Dec. 14.-Electricians, En- gineers and carpenters in the employ of the Nevada Gal lifornia Power Com pany, all of whom are members of the local union. affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. returned to work today under the agreement reached last night between Federation officers of the Mine Owners Association.
 This involves a ten days truce with the old wage scale pending the prepara- tion of a new scale. While great se- crecy is being maintained regarding the importation of men to take the places of the strikers, it is now counted that the first train load of strike break CTS is about due in Goldfeld. The To- cal officers anticipate serious trouble when they arrive and are preparing for it.
 It is reported that a woman. the wife of a miner who deserted the Western Federation of Miners and returned to work yesterday. was badly beaten early today by union miners. She has been boarding some of the men working and has openly expressed antipathy to the Western Federation. No arrests have been made.

TAFT AGAINST THE FIELD
BY ALFRED J. sToFHk

Washington. D. c. Dec. DNtSpeciaD As there is to be a frey for all race for the presidential nopGnation at the Chicago convention te prediction is made here that livelYcontests may be expected in the sovehern States.
 Although Preside6t Roosevelt made his stirring declarak lion only last We'd nesday night, thes air is already full of reports regarding the clashes that are bound to occur in most of the Southern States.
 Now that Roosevelt is positively out of the reckoning as a candidate for an- other term. the situation has changed almost within the twinkling of an eye. As long as there was any hope that he could under any possibility be in- duced to accept the view of Southern Republicans, who kept shouting that he was the strongest candidate and should be nominated against his will he allowed them to link their fortunes with his name. They felt secure in tho realization that if Roosevelt declined his supporters would have control of the convention and would be able to nominate an administration candidate at a wink from the White House.
 But Taft is not Roosevelt by long shot and powerful combination is being formed to storm the South and pick up a large number of delegates for Fairbanks, Cannon. Foraker and even Cortelyou. who Is looked upon as the choice of the considerable element in the Republican party.
 If negroes had any show these days in the South it is not doubted here that Foraker would develop amazing strength down there.
 The reported split between Referees Scott and Thompson of Alabama Is only one of the many falllngs out that politicians expect inside of month. When Thompson was here last week 1t was rumored about the hotels that he was the whole thing in Alabama, and some people even went so far as to as' sert that Thompson was allowing Scott to call himself referee by courtesy only.
 Scott wore hIs usual smile and talked little But when the Anniston post mastership was settled, 1t was discov- cred that Scott was on top. He's been happy ever since. s q AScordink to the talk here the Re- pubiicans of Tennessee will not be q happy family, either. They are bound to have a row and while right now on the surface of things each faction is said to favor Taft. there are so many indications that the Taft boom Is col lapslng that it would not be surpris- ing to the best posted politicians If the Tennessee Republicans were to switch off to some other candidate before the delegates are named.
 Many people believe that Congress- man Brownlow is not going to permit the Evans Sanders crowd to control things in the State. At any rate, Brownlow is being referred to as a bieeer man than the other leaders in Tennessee, and his friends count on him regaining his lost ground.

FAIRBANKS THE MAN
TAGGART THINKS VICE PRESIDENT
 WILL BE NOMINATED. %
Chairman Of National Democratic Com- mittee Says This Is The Senti-
 ment In The East On The Question.

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 14.--Thomas Taggart, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. who arrived in Indianapolis from New York tonight, declared the belief that Charles w. Fairbanks would be the choice of the Chicago convention for Presidential nominee on the Republican ticket.
 'I learned enough of the sentiment in the East on this question:" said Chairman Taggart. ito cause me to make this assertion. The fact that President Roosevelt has declared him. self absolutely out of the race, coupled with the fact that the Republicans will not allow themselves to be in- fluenced in favor of Taft, just because he is Roosevelt's favorite. convinces me that Mir. Fairbanks will have the best show of any man before the conven- tion.
 "I told them that the Democrats would bring forward man who would defeat any one the Republicans nomi- nated.'

FIERCE STORM
 SWEPT COAST Much Damage Done in
 New York. TELEGRAPH LINES DOWN Eleven Tfans-Atlantic Steamers
 Are Still Unreported. New EnEssnd states Are In The wintry Clutches Of storm Of
 Wind, Hail Snow And

New York, Dec. 14.--Lashed by the fierce blow of a heavy northeaster, New York is tonight in the wintry clutches of a storm of wind, hail and rain. which completely swept the whole AL lanttc coast from Hatteras to Maine, hampered transportation, demoraiized lines of communication with the out side world, and threatened all ships under sail or steam that sought to make ports in the teeth of the sixty mile gale. Down off Sandy Hook. the bark Edmund Phinney went to pieces on the sandy shores after her skipper and crew had been rescued in the brooches buoy.
 Eleven trans-Atlantic steamships. due in this port today, were still un- reported at Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock for their safety. Six coastwise steam ships that set sail today for Southern ports, turned back from the pitching and bounding seas that met them Sat the harbor gateway and anchored in the shelter of Sandy Hook Bay.
 The powerful blasts snapped on twenty feet of the three hundred foot chimney of the New York steam Heat ing Company on Sutton Place in this city and sent 1t toppling upon a wood- en shack in which a watchman. David
 
 instantly killed. Several tons of brick and mortar fell upon the house of Henry Speitel and crushed through the entire structure. seriously injuring Mrs. Lena Speitel and her two daughters. Two other houses adjoining were dam aged.
 In another part of the town an un- known man was killed by a falling flag pole.
 The tsorm center. which started in the Mississippi valley. swerved east ward and swept up the Atlantic coast. From the northeast came a fierce gale, driving heavy clouds of rain and cut ting sieet followed The rain turned to snow and then to rain again, but the wind boomed staedily along at six ty miles. The rain hung to telephone and telegraph lines and froze. the weighted wires cracked and snapped, while the blasts toppled over scores of poles.
 Both telegraph companies had much difficulty in even partially restoring communication in any direction westward from New York, communica- ton by wire was almost impossible. A single wire to Boston was all that re- mained tonight of the scores of tele- graph trunk lines through New Eng land. North. Souht and West. there was much Interruption from sleet and wind but New England seems to have been the worst sufferer. Railroad traffic suffered much delay and sur face and elevated lines fin New York had difficulty in maintaining any sort of service.
