FoRAKER ON BROWNSVILLE.
Ohio Senator Holds That Negre Troops Did Not "shoot Up" Town.

Troops Did Not "shoot Up" Town.
 WASHINGTON, June IS. - Senator Foraker of Ohio last night gave out a written statement summing up the tes- timony taken by the senate committee on military affairs in the Brownsville inquiry and declaring that it fails to show that any soldier took part in the asray.
 MT. Foraker says:
 "The testimony given by the soldiers in their own behalf is not in my opin- ion shaken by the testimony given by the citizens of Brownsville. No impor- tant item of new evidence was brought forward against the soldiers in this examination. Ninety per cent of what the citizens have testified about had relation to matters over which there was no controversy.
 For instance. everybody comedies that the town was shot up: that some body did it. The only dispute is as to whether the raiders were identified as soldiers of the garrison"

SPIRIT WROTE HIM.
Mrs. Pepper-Vanderbilt Only Bright Eyes" Medium.
ENHANCED BY INDIAN MAIDEN.
Miss Minerva's Suit Rudely Disturbs Honeymoon of Broolxiyn's Spirit ualist High Priestess and
 Aged Lumbcrman.

NEW YORK, June IS. Bishop" Mary Ann Scannell Pepper, the high priestess of the Brooklyn Spiritualist church. who married Edward Ward Vanderbilt, the wealthy lumberman, less than month ago and whose hon. eymoon was rudely disturbed about a week ago by the bridegroom's daugh- ter, Miss Minerva Vanderbilt, institut- ing proceedings to have Mir Wander bilt declared an incompetent, is much concerned over the allegations that have been made about the spirit letters her spouse received from Little Bright Eyes"
 The letters in question, which pur- ported to have come from Little ' Bright Eyes" a spirit guide. through the mails, via Germany, to MT. Van derbilt while Mrs. Pepper was in Eu- rope and which, it is charged. are in the handwriting of Mrs. Pepper. are a prominent factor in the suit. Miss Vanderbilt. the petitioner, alleges that these letters were largely instrumental in influencing her father to marry the ''bishop." also to make a will in the bishops favor and in making her presents of houses. money. candy and wearing apparel.
 The bishop" evidently realized that these letters had to be explained. and hence through her counsel, AbTam H. Daley. she filed an affidavit with Su- preme Court Justice Maddox. in which she explains substantially that she is not responsible when in a trance for any letters that she might write, be cause she is not conscious of writing them or of mailing them. Incidentally she describes her psychic power.
 "For many years past" Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt says in her affidavit. "I have been subject to enhancement by various spirits of departed persons. and when so fully entranced I am ut teriy unconscious of what | say or do. Not all spirits of departed persons can approach and control me.
 "I am and have been for many years subject to the controlling power of the spirit of a partially Indian maiden named Bright Eyes by whom I be- come at times deeply entranced. and in this condition am informed and be- heve have written many letters and mailed them of which did not know the contents and have said many things to numerous persons of which I had nO knowledge These conditions and manifestations are common among mediums subject to enhancement the world over. to the best of my k1owI- edge and teIief-

BOISE TRIAL REoPENS.
Harry Orchard Again Takes stand
 For state-kirwnn Next.

BOISE, Ida, June IS. - When the Steunenberg murder trial was resumed here today Harry Orchard was the first witness called to the stand by the state. He was placed in the hands of the defense in order that series of formal impeachment questions might be presented. and then the prosecution took him over for his redirect examina- ton. Despite his long stay on the stand there were several points rela- tive to the Steunenberg murder and the alleged conspiracy behind 1t that were not developed, and these the state will try to bring out.
 Steve Adams, it is said, stands by the repudiation of the confession which he made to Detective Mcfarland, and there his connection with the case, oth- CT than in the use of his name, rests for the present.
 Orchard will be succeeded on the stand by James Kirwan. acting secre- tary of the Western Federation of Min CTS

The LABOR MOVEMENT IN amer.
lean POLITICS.
Victor S. YarrOS in American Review
Of Reviews Describes "a Years
Activity of Labor UniOniSm."
GOmperS Pleased with "The Work
OF Education" Durin6 the year.

When the campaign was over and the
votes were counted it was found that the
labor movement in politics had caused
no II rial damage TO the existing par
ties. none Of the candidates on what
was called by the daily press "labor's
black list" had been defeated. Speaker
Cannon had been elected by an increased
majority, perhaps on account of his
Presidential boom" Mr.. Littlefield's
majority had, indeed, been greatly re-
duced but 80 had the majorities OF the
other Maine representatives. whom labor
had not opposed.
Was, then, the labor campaign total
failure? Such was the verdict OF manv
newspapers and party politicians. but
the Federation took an entirely different
view. Mr.. Gompers said in the organ of
that organization that the campaign had
"achieved much more than we had hop.
ed" great educational work had
been instituted; an impression had heen
made two trade union men, nominated
by the regular parties, had been elected
to congress, and the number OF unionists
in State legislature had been increased.
"We confidently expect" added Mr..
Gompers, "a fairer and more judicial
temper on the part Of the coming session
toward our demands"
There were those who thought that
the executive committee OF the Fedora.
ton had misrepresented the rank and
file in going into politics. They predict
ed that the national convention would
rebuke perhaps retire President Comp
ers. 1t not only reelected him and his
associates. but unqualifedly endorsed
his course.
The campaien'just described had one
interesting sequel. At the Minneapolis
convention, several delegates complained
OF the lack of definite labor platform. I"
In general way, they said, every intel
ligent man knows what union labor is
striving for, but the new situation and
the new role of labor called for formal
precise statement OF labor's principles
and objects. A declaration of such prin-
ciples was accordingly drawn up and
unanimously adopted by the convention.
1t is less radical" than the platform of
the British Trade Union Congress, but it
is doubtful whether three or four years
ago the Federation wonld have been
ready to accept it in its entirety.-From
IA Years Activity of Labor Unionism,"

While Grays Harbor has half inch of

TACOMA, Jan. 5.-Snow lies from two

yon and along the summit of the Cas-.

o'clock last night was the heaviest of the
winter and one OF the most severe of re-

break in the machinery. Today every
rotary is working and the tracks are
cleared.
