Because of delay in considering the

the National Civic Association we're de-
layed todsv, aud the programme oriei-
nally set for this afternoon taken up 10
the morning. Ii is announced ttat Mrs.
Medill Mccormick, daughter OF The late
Senator M. A. Hanna, whose efforts re-
suited in the formation of the woman
department will be elected president.
Now that the republicans OF the
House, In conference, have approved
the revised Vreeland commercial curren-
cy bill, steps will be taken at once by
the committee on rules TO push the
measure through the lower chamber. 1t
Is believed that rule will be adopted,
whereby the democrats may offer the
Williams bill as substitute. After
this has been voted down, enough dem
ocrsts, in the opinion of Mr.. Vreelsnd,
author of the approved bill, will vote for
bis measure to make it impossible for
the republican insurgents TO defeat il.
Even without democratic support, the
House leaders say they can pass the bill.
The revised currency bill, approved
by the republican conference, will be
considered in the House Thursday, un-
der . special rule. This wss decided
upon by republican leaders today.
Forty-One governors, niue Justices of

his eminepce replied;
II of two evils | we're to choose the less

several wives are taken at once, to pro-

Vorced people who remany. 10 the
former case the WINS and children sre

wives are often sent sdrift ard ex'

children, II there be any, are deprieved
Df the protection and care which the
natural law itself dictates that they
should receive at the hands of tbeiI

how the children OF divorced people can

attach 10 those whose parents have been
separated from each other, as very often
happens on account of some misconduct

Sixtieth Congress.
Washington, May IL.
SENATE,

A Joint resolution offered by Senator
Rayner authorizing tho president to
grant Colonel William F. Stewart, now
exiled to Fort Grant, Ariz)na, court
Of inquiry, came up this afternoon In
The Senate.
Mr.. Rsyner spoke at length in sup
port of his resolution. He began by
saying that no feeling OF animosity wss
entertained toward the president. he
had no personal feeling in the matter.
He thought the president had made a
grave mistake regarding his constitution
al prerogatives. His criticism would be
the same If the president were demo
c,s'. de believed the question involved
le of the most important ever present
o 4 to Congress. The career and ante.
csdants of Colonel Stewart we're sketched
by Mr.. Raynsr and 10 tracing his case
he implied that the proceedings were IL
regular. The charges against Stewart,
which are not true, said MIR. Rsyner, are
frivolous aud petty.
Mr.. Rsyner YVES cheered by The
crowded galleries when closing bis re-
marks.
At Mr.. Rsyner's request the presi
dents letter was read in full by the
secretary.
Mr.. Rsyner gave notice that he will
call his resolution up for further con-
sideTatiOn tomorrow. 1t will then be
referred TO the military affairs committee.
Consideration of the postoffice sppro-
priation bill was resumed this afternoon,
a number of passed over amendments
being taken up.

About $500, 900 is carried in the Mill
tary Academy appropriation bill which

bill that the duties Of the board Of visi-
tors shall hereafter be exercised by the
House and Senate committee on military
affairs.
The House was thrown into fight
over the naval appropriation bill when
Chairman Foss, of the naval STAIRS COM
mittee, refused to suspend the rules and
sgree to the House and Senaie conferee's
report on amendments.

 The Associate partner played Simon Legree, all except the makeup. The saddest moment of the Day for him was when the whole Bunch knocked off at six o'clock in the Evening. It seemed a Shame to call Ten Hours a Full Day As for the Saturday Half Holiday Movement, that was little bet ter than Highway Robbery. Those who formerly slaved alongside of him in the Galleys had to address him as Mister, and he had them numbered the same as Convicts. One day an Underling ventured to remind the Slave Driver that once he | had been the Friend of the Salaried Minion.

ion. A committee of Cincinnati Union Printers called upon Mir. Debs to ask him to use the influence of his posi- tion to urge the printing company to come to an amicable agreement with the union, or, failing in that, to give the convention printing to union house. Did MT. Debs comply with that request? Not bit of it. He in- suited the committee and told them he wanted nothing to do with them or their union.'
 The Truth of the Matter.
 This statement is a plain malicious lie. No such incident ever took place. Nos uch committee ever came to Debs. No printing was given out by him to any non-union house. Let MT. Comp CTS either produce some member of that committee or stand convicted of cowardly malicious lying.
 Here are some facts concerning the dCIlOHS Ol Es V AcDS III IeIdIlOH lO the Typographical Union while he was editing the Journal of the B. of l.. F. Journal did not bear the union label. In order to secure the label he re-or- ganized the Typographical Union of Terre Haute, that had fallen into de- cay, and by so doing placed upon that journal the first union label ever plac- ed upon an organ of any of the Rail- way brotherhoods. From the time he took charge of the publications of the B. of l.. F., not a single piece of printing of that organization was ever put out that did not bear the union label.
 Not only did he reorganize the Typo graphical Union of Terre Haute, but he has either organized originally, or reorganized every union now existing in Terre Houte, and for years he was invariably placed in charge of every SLrlkG CdlieQ III IfldC Clly, nO HldtCer what unions might be involved.
 It would be easy to extend indefi- nitely the story of the services render ed by B. V. Debs to the cause of or- ganized labor. Hundreds of testimon- ials might be presented which have been rendered him by various organi- cations testifying to the success of his efforts in organizing the very unions which are now paying Mir. Gompers' salary. He has been given medals, special endorsements and votes of ap- proval almost without number by local and national bodies, besides, for his services in these direction.
 It is not for F. V. Debs to justify his career as unionist. u is for Mir. Gompers to prove his charges or stand convicted as awilful falsifier and tra- ducer of one whose whole life has been devoted to the cause of labor.

oempsrs' Third Charge.

\ Mir. Gompers makes another charge. He says:
 When MT. Debs was secretary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire- men and editor of It's official magazine that organization held one of its con- ventions in Cincinnati. He had given the order for the convention printing to ac oncern which had . contest on with the ciaoianats Typosrshical un-

 From the most reliable statistics available there are 465,000 workers killed and maimed annually in the United States. Of that number 10000 are killed, 55,O0o disabled for periods exceeding 13 weeks, and 100000 in capacitated from work for more than three days and less than 13 weeks.
