chimes this afternoon, the accidents
occurring in neighboring fields about
twenty miles northeast of here.
Hart Stopp, of Wenatchee, oiler for
the Ogle & Lamb machine, fell into
the cylinder feet first and both feet
and legs were horribly mangled. It
is thought he will lose his left foot,
bat the right may be saved. His
brother was notified by telegraph and
is on his way here.
The other victim was an old man,
whose name is unknown. He fell into
the cylinder head first, mutilating the
side of his face and tearing the flesh
of one hand into ribbons. He has
not recovered consciousness since the
accident and it is feared he cannot re-
cover.

Too Particular,

The finical customer at the fish mar

with this inscription upon it: "Anjo-
Wis"
What does that mean?" he asked
what is an anjovis?"
"Anjovis," answered the proprietor.
"are little fishes. Didn't ye never hear
Of 'em?"
you mean anchovies. don't your"
mot unless you want to buy some.
SIR" sternly spoke the proprietor. IF
a man wants to buy my fish he can
call 'em what he durn pleases. When
I'm putin up signs on my fish I'll call
'em what durn please. and anybody
who don't like 'em don't have to look
at 'em, sir"
The fnical customer muttered an
apology and escaped further trouble by

LABOR DEMANDS
 NO PRIVILEGES

Denver, July 7.-(Special.) .)-'Labor asks no special privileges This was the key note of the speech made by Samuel Com pers, president of the American Federa- tion of Labor, before the resolutions com- mittee tonight The five words are in dicative of the plank which will be con- tained in the democratic platform which will be framed by the committee at an early hour tomorrow. It is believed that the plank will be satisfactory to the best thought of labor leaders, and will con- tain nothing to which exception can be taken by the extreme wing.
 Judge Alton B. Parker of New York came mighty near not getting into the convention. Judge Parker forgot about bringing with him his admittance creden- tials, and when he presented himself at the delegate entrance the doorkeepers looked wise and suspicious, and passed him up to the next entrance. It hap pened that R. s. Offutt of Louisville was stationed in this door. He knew Judge Parker and arranged that the democrats distinguished presidential candidate of four years ago could pass the ropes Judge Parker was much relieved, gave a. cordial "Thank you" and took his seat with the New York delegation.

NEW WORKERS ARE
 SEEKING PEACE

Denver July 7-The New York dele gation will hold it's third caucus of convention week tomorrow afternoon at o'clock to reach long delayed decision as to which candidate for the presidential nomination shall receive the big block of 7S votes from the Empire state. The caucus has been called by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and chairman of the delegation. The adherents of MT. Bry- an still claim that New York will vote for the Nebraskan, while the opposing forces are hopeful that the decision may help them in their effort to block a nomination on the first ballot. Mir. Murphy maintains the same sphynx-like silence which has characterized his at titude ever since his arrival in Denver.
 A spirit of conciliation. it is said, stiA pervales the Tammany delegation. As an evidence of this, it is pointed out tbat Judge Alton B. Parker, who was reported as coming to Denver as the represeita- tive of New York state in a fight against the adoption of an anti-injunction paniS, went into the session of the committee reSOlutlOnS tonight to duNOCs1LS dii anti injunction plank which is declared to have been drawn by Samuel Gompers himself, and which formed par Of the tentative platform put forth today by the New York delegation. Lewis Nixon was chairman of the subcommittee of the New York delegation that brought this about, and it is the boast of the delega- ton tonight that they have conciliated the radical, conservative aAd labor in terests all at once, and that they have put forth a strong bid for the far western vote by advocating a sufficient increase in the naval establishmentto maintain fleet on both coasts.
 A number of the state Conventions in the west advocated such plank in the platform of both parties but the New York people say the west was ignored in this respect by the silence of the repub- licans. Altogether the New York delega- tion's display of a feelirg of contentment with it's position at the convention, de- spite the criticism that has been uttered because of it's failure to express prefer ence as to the presidency. It was said tonight that fourth caucus may be held after the nomination of a presidential candidate to decide where the support of inc state shall be thrown in the vice IT, esideptial contest

STRIKE SITUATION
 IS UNCHANGED
SEVERAL FURNACE MINES HAVE CLOSED DOWN, AND COMPANIES CLAIM THEY ARE GETTING OUT PLENTY OF COAL.

The mining situation yesterday was without especial features The United Mine Workers strike is causing some of the furnace mines to shut down, but of ficials of the Tennessee company, the Sloss- Sheffield company, the Republic company, the Birmingham Iron and Coal company, the Alabama Consolidated and all the other iron concerns say they feel confident of their ability to mine all the coal they need regardless of the strike. Profiting by their experience in the long and bitter strike which began in 1904, the operators are employing at the start special deputies to protect their mining camps. Thus far no acts of disorder have been reported, but Sheriff Higdon has sworn in 25 deputies to be distributed to the different companies.
 Organizers of the Miners union have been visiting the camps of the furnace companies and at Blocton, Blossburg and Pratt City quite number of men who had been working at ''open shop mines have joined, but 1t Is said by represen- tatives of the operators that the great majority of their miners are well satis- fled with conditions and will never join the strikers. An official of the Sloss- Sheffield said yesterday that his company was getting out more coal than 1t could use. and was ready to sell the surplus to other furnace concerns.
 Coke is now being brought Into the dis trict from West Virginia at about what it costs to make it here. On the whole the operators say they are of the opinion that the strike will be of short duration. They point to the fact that conditions now are far less favorable to a strike than they were in 1904
 The union miners held meeting at Pratt City last night and the night be- fore, but the proceedings were kept se- cret.

ENTIRELY NEW WAY FOR
 TURNING NEGROES WHITE

There is a negro messenger who has served MT. Taft of the war department for several years who is rapidly turning white, and his remarkable change has been the subject of general comment. Most of the Washington negroes know of this case and are said to be very much excited over 1t.
 The negroes all over the country have threatened to bolt MT. Taft on account of the Brownsville affair. The wags are saying that since MT. Copps scheme has been talked of the administration might promise to make the blacks white at gov ernment expense if they will only remain true to the republican party. The negroes were promised "40 acres and mule" just after the war by the republican pliti- clans, and they also had the Freedmens bank, and to promise to make them white would be just as easy.

are made to add from 75 to 100 more press seats if necessary. The desk of Col. John I. Martin, congratulations. and the desks of his private secretary are in this section, near the rostrum.
 Delegate Seats. The exact number of delegates to the convention Is 1902, but in the section re- served for the delegates, which Is Tn front of the rostrum, there are 1072 seats. This is accounted for by the fact that several states have selected twice their allotted number of delegates, giving each half a vote The section for alternates has 1O02 seats, no additions having been made by states that doubled their delegations. Admission to the auditorium can be had only by ticket.
 Officers and attaches of the convention and newspaper correspondents must wear , badges and present tickets. Tickets ad- nit only at entrances designated upon | the face of the ticket.
 Seats for the public are not reserved, but the seating space is divided into sec tions numbered consecutively and the holder of ticket is entitled to occupy Q vacant seat fin the section numbered on the tcket. All that guest has to do Is to find the proper entrance and the ush- CTS will do the rest.

Denver Col, July 7.-The committee on rules and order of business adopted, with out change, the rules of the convention or 1904 at St Louis. The session was for time made lively by the presentation by John T. Hicks of Arkansas of the follow ing resolutions:
 Resolved, That in all cases where the action of the congressional convention Is in conflict with the action of the state , convention, the action of the state con yention shall be constructed to control"
 State Senator Thomas Grady of New York, who was in the chair, temporarily welded the gavel in order to denounce the resolution as wholly undemocratic. It's mere publication as having been offered, he asserted, would be taint on the dem- ccratic party.
