GOMPERS SAyS SOMEBODY LIED President of Labor Fed eration Was Angry. CLAIMS MISREPRESENTATION Did Not Say He Would Deliver
 Labor Vote Gempera Declares That Ills Attitude May. cause Him to Lose Posi- tioa Bus Hs stands for IH-
 siviaaai opinion.
 

Washington. July s0.--'The report that have ever said that l would or would not deliver the labor vote to any political party Is an infamous lie. said Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor to- day.
 Tt is possible that by lies and mis- representations the enemies of organ ized labor may injure me personally, and even be successful in accomplish ing my removal as president of the American Federation of Labor" said Mr. Gompers. "but that will never change my course in battling for the principles for which stand.
 1t Is not a question of politics with me. I have no politics or if have. they are the politics of the people.
 T fully expected when I took the stand which I have" said Mir. Com pers, that some would disagree with me, don't expect the labor world to accept nay conclusions in every in- stance. expected to be criticized too in some quarters. but I did not think that the criticism would be 60 unjust as to be contemptible I stand for the right of individual opinion.
 T regard my position as president of the American Federation of Labor as the most exalted and honorable in this world to which could ever wish to inspire. It is a sacred trust with which my fellows have honored me because Of my convictions and the principles which advocate They may take that honor away from me if they like. and will bow to their will. But 1t will not prevnt me from fighting for the cause which is my life's work, just as I have in the past and as propose to do in the future
 T want no political offers or honor. I have nothing for sale and don't pro- pose to begin at this late day by sell ing my honor.
 My editorial in The American Fed erationist plainly and forcsfuliy sets forth my position He who runs may read and understand. Those who have taken issue with the position thefein set forth not, underetand me with the position 1 ami alleged to have assumed. are political renesades and discredited outcasts of labor. do not mean that those who differ with my opinion are such, but those who have denounced me and claim that I have not set forth the facts as they are"
 Frank H. Hitchcock. Republican Na- tional Chairman when asked as to the truth of the report that a personal campaign was to be waged against Mir Gompers, replied:
 Nothing of the kind has been ar- ranged"

AT C0NSTANTN0PLE
YOUNG TURKS ARE MASTERS OFT
 THE SITUATION.
There Are Signs of Much DissatIsfac- ti0n by the Public At the Delay of Reconstruction of the
 Ministry.

Constantinoule, July so.--Although the demonstrations in the streets of Constantinople over the granting of q constitution have practically ceased. there are signs of much dissatisfac- ton by the people at the delay of the reconstruction of the ministry by the introduction of liberal elements. Scenes of the widest description con- tinue in the cafes. where officers and civilians, embrace each other and ex- press their delight at the ending of the tyrannical regime.
 The situation still lacks clearness and 1t Is impossible at present to fore cast the next development with any de- gree of certainty. The young Turks are masters of Constantinople and the European provinces. and except in the capital. the feeling is anything but favorable to the Sultan.
 A young Turkey uprising in favor of the restoring of the constitution had been planned for September l, the an- niversary of the SuItans accession to the throne. but the meeting at Reyal between King Edward ana the Elm peror of Russia and the imrninence of the Anglo Russian reform proposals precipitated matters and forced the young Turks to take action before this date, the object of the constitutional party being tA forestall these reprisals and render them superfious. Every body has ben greatly impressed with the perfect organization of the move ment and the absolute discipline in all ranks. The directing hand of the movement is still invisible and un- known.
 Two hundred army officers have ar- rived at AdrianopIe from Saloniki to replace the incapable and doubtful of- ficers of the second army corps. It has become known that Sellm Melham- ed Pasha. minister of mines and for ests, was assisted in getting out of the country by the good offices of the Italian embassy and this fact has produced a bad impression among the liberal Turks. The escape of Pasha is regarded as an act of cowardIce In that he abandoned his soverign at a critical Juncture, a course which, 1t is held, testified to his guilty conscience. The whole Melahamed family Is ex- ceedingly unpopular, especially Tejib, who has not been seen for several days. The constitutional party Is anxious to call them to account for many alleged reprehensible deeds in the enriching of themselves. Some of the foreign ambassadors are blamed for the protection and friendship ex- tended to the Melhameds. without which, 1t is argued. they never could have attained the position and in huence they did.
 Two of Selim Pasha's daughters mar ried German officers, while a third is the wife of an Italian officer No fur ther news has been received of the fate of Habid Melhamed. who while trying to escape from the country, was arrested by some young Turkey to advices from saloniki. Iskedor Mel named was condemned to death by

Repub Candidate For the Presidency Reaches Hot Springs and En5oyn a Game of GoIf With Sem
 atOr Bourne

Hot Springs. Va. July 30.-Candidate William H. Taft admitted this after noon that he felt somewhat tired from the rapid evolutions he has been go- ing through during the past eight >days He reached the Homestead Ho- tel shortly before II o'clock today from Cincinnati accompanied by Mrs. Taft and General and Mrs. Corbin.
 After passing on an accumulation of correspondence. he went over to the four mile golf course with Senator Bourne, of Oregon, as an opponent. Upon returning to the, hotel. Judge Taft casually remarked that he be- lieved the change from the heat of Cincinnati to the comparative cool of the mountains, produced feeling of tiredness.
 At Covington. Va, where the ear the candidates party occupied was switched to the branch line, MT. Taft was greeted by quite crowd and shook hands and chatted for some min utes through the car window.
 The engagements during August are to be very Iiimted, if the wishes of the candidate can be realized. For next Wednesday he has accepted an invitation to address the annual meet ing of the Virginia Bar Association to be held here. His speech will be nOn-polltical. "A horse snow 70 pc netu at White Sulphur Springs Friday and Saturday of next week to which Rep ,resentative Gaines, of West Virginia. has extended an urgent invitation to the Taft party. is admittedly some what tempting to MT. Taft. He says he would like to go, especially ss the trip would be made over mountain roads In coach. Tse proposed rally of Virginia Republicans which is being arranged to take place here at a date in August yet to be fixed. will afford opportunity for what Mir. Taft expects to be his only political speech that month.
 Frank H. Hitchcock. chairman of the Republican National Committee, is expected to have a conference here with MT. Taft probably shortly after the New York headquarters have been opened on August and Arthur L. Vorys, chief of staff of the candidate. is expected to be a frequent visitor here during August.
 Aside from a somewhat extended talk with United States Senator Scott of West Virginia on the train this morn ing Mr. Taft has been free from politi- cal confabs today.

 The men under command of Gen. Bibb Graves arrived on several special trains during the day. The Monteona- cry oreys and Montgomery True Blues. which left Montgomery shortly after midnight Wednesday. arrived safely today several minutes Afternoon, the men being on the train for twelve con- secutive hours.
 The Tuskegee and Luvcrne conpa- ntes and the regimental stan of the End Alabama accompanied tho train. Colonel Bricken and his bride being the center of attraction on the Pullman which was attached to the troop train.
 Considerable commotion was created ct Cedarville. Ga, when half the sal- diers who alfghted from the train when 1t stopped, made wild scrambls for hind. The train was halted and after ( run of half mile the men boarded the train.
 The Blues with fifteen sets of fours made a fine appearance as they march~ ed to their tents this afternoon. The numbef but the precision of Captain Jackson's men was noticeable.

TO Llmit Obaervance.

Washington, July S0-The action of Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago today in sustaining the ruling of the court in the Peoria. H., district, following that of Judge Severance in the Cincinnati case, inhibiting the collectors of inter- nal revenue from enforcing the new in- ternal revenue regulations as to the branding of packages containing alco- hol or spirits, will not influence the of- ficiais of the Department of Justice to the extent of the complicated appeals in this case or in any others that may arise
 The collectors have been instructed to strictly observe the restraining or- ders Issued by the courts, but they are to limit their observance to the partlc- ular districts and the particular dis tillers in those districts covered by the restraining orders. In the cases of all other distilleries whether in these districts or outside of them, the new regulations are to be promptly and rigidly enforced.
 The appeals will at once be taken in each of these cases as the govern ment Is determined to prosecute them if necessary. to the courts of last re- sort. In the Cincinnati, Peoria and Goshen districts are located the larg- est grain alcohol distiIleries in the country and while the restraining or ders so far issued apply to only one or two 6istilleries in the district, 1t is believed that the other distllleries, en- couraged by the favorable action of the courts in the few eases already brought also will apply for iniunctions. Tn that event, by far the greater bulk of spir- It's or alcohol made in this country will continue for the present at least to be marked as prescribed in the old regu- lations which were rescinded by the Department on July 1.

PENSACOLA IS QUIET
AFTER A NIGHT OF RIoTING AND
 EXCITEMENT.
Tn Some Quarters, Sheriff Van Pelt is Criticised for Firing Into the Mob, But Many Uphold
 Him.

Pensacola, Fla, July 30 30.--(SpeciaL)- After night of rioting and excitement, Pensacola settled down to it's normal condition today, although the lynching of the negro. Shaw. the killing of Henry C. Kellum and A. A. Nichols. as well as the wounding of several others. caused the chief topic of conversation throughout the day.
 This morning shortly before { o'clock, the body of the negro, riddled with bullets, was cut down by order of the coroner, from where 1t had been swung to an arc light pole in the center of the Plaza, which Is located in the heart of the city, and removed to the county undertaker's establishment. Today hundreds of people called and viewed the body of the negro. There was hardly a spot as large as a dollar on the negro which had not been pierced by a bullet, the man having been shot almost to pieces by the mob. It is es- timated that fully 1000 shots were fired at the negro as he swung from the end of the rope.
 The Coroner's jury viewed the re- mains this afternoon and pronounced that the negro came to his death from gun shot wounds in the hands of per- sons unknown. The jury also viewed the remains of Kellum and Nichols and came to the same conclusion.
 In sone quarters Sheriff Van Pelt is criticized for taking the stand he did and protecting the negro at the cost of other lives. but in other quarters he Is upheld, as he did as he had taken an oath to do But for the fact that the mob adopted different tactics in It's second attack there Is no doubt but that many persons would have met death, as the Sheriff and his deputies were armed with Winchester rifles. and could have held out for many hours. The mob realized this after the first att tack, and consequently pursued dif- ferent policy with the result that 1t was successful
 It Is not thought that Charlie Turn CT, who is in a hospital shot in the abdomen, can recover.
 Joseph Brewton was similarly wounded and his condition is critical. Deputy Sheriff Eaton was moved from the Jail today and is now at hts home. He was shot in the head and Is in dangerous condition. though he will probably recover.
 The full list of the dead and wound ed as the result of the two attacks on the jail Is as follows:
 The dead: A. A. Nichols shot In the head Henry c. Kellum, shot through the heart.
 The wounded: Deputy Sheriff B. Fl Eaton. shot in the head. Sheriff yames C. Van Pelt. shot In the elbow; Special Deputy John Van Pelt. shot in-Fkide, head and hand; A. N. Knowles. shot in shoulder; Joseph Brewton. shot in ab- domen: Charlie Turner. shot in &bdo- men. F. c. Humphreys. shot in thigh; James Bainless. shot in arm; W. P. Brownson, shot through ear.
 The condition of Mrs. Lillian Davis, who the negro Shaw assaulted. Is worse tonight. It Is not probable that she will survive.

 New York, July s0.--Gossip has been in. circulation in this city for several days to the effect that George B. Cor telyou. Secretary of the Treasury. would allow the use or his name a.e a candidate for the Republican homina- ton for Governor against Governor Hughes.
 This gossip. however, apparently has no basis fin any statements by Mir. Cor teiyou or his friends. It is said some of the leaders of the Republican State organization approached Mir.

It Is not under stood that the nomination was defi- nifely offered to Mir. Cortelyou
 Mir. Cortelyou gave no explicit reply to these suggestions, but promised to consider the matter. Today The Even ing Post. published the statement that it is highly improbable that Mfr.

 The discovery of poison in the wo- mans stomach and that of her chill dren has upset many of the former theories in the, case and has opened up the possibility of Mrs. Guinness having killed the children in the same manner in which she took the lives of her vic- tims and then ended her own life with a fatal dose.
