 Chicago, Oct 1.-The $5,000 which the democratic national com mittee set aside to prosecute individ- uals or corporations that endeavored to coerce employees will be used against S. s. Eveland, president of the Standard Roller Ball-Bearing company of Philadelphia.
 He is charged by the committee with posting notice that a 10 per cent reduction of wages made last winter would be restored November 2S, provided MT Taft is elected pres ident."
 Committeeman Wade of Iowa. who has charge of labor matters said:
 We are going to engage counsel and go after Eveland. We might as well settle the question during this campaign whether under the law an employer may club his employees into voting as he directs. Threats of re- duction in wages or promise of high CT wages as inducement to vote for Taft is bribery plain and simple"

Manila, Oct 1.-The Atlantic bat tleship fleet entered the Basilan straits at 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing in single column. The fleet ar rived opposite Zamboanga at 1 o'clock finally clearing the straits on it's way to Manila at 4 o'clock. The passage through the straits was made entirely in the single column forma- tion owing to the narrowness of the passage. AS soon as the open sea tC the north was reached, however, the vessels changed to a double column formation and proceeded in that man. ner.
 A picturesque demonstration oi welcome was accorded the ships as they passed Zamboanga. Genera Bliss, commanding the department oi Mindanao, aboard the coast guard steamer Negros, headed a large feet | of steamer launches and and Moro Vintas of native canoes all gaily dec. lorated. The negros fired the ad- | mirals salute in honor of Admira Sperry as the Connecticut steamed by
 leading the fleet and the flagship re-
 piled with the governors salute ir
 honor of General Bliss as department commander.
 The Moros were greatly impressed
 by the size of the fleet and the great
 number of men the ships carried. A
 the vessels passed they testified tc
 their enthusiasm by clapping theil
 hands, the sound timed to the pecu,
 liar cadence that is distinctive of the
 Moros. Many of the Vintas had bands com
 posed by native instruments aboard and these played weird native tune
 of farewell as the ships steamed away across the open water toward
 Manila.

One OF the principal matters taken
Up by the Assembly during the morn
inc session WAS the constitutiOnaiity
OF the organization OF that body,
REPRESENTATIVE HusEey addressed the
.Eouse on the subject and quoted the
W governing the organization OF the
,dy. for a special session.
e law showed that the members
the Legislature had it in their pow
er to name their own officers and also
power to remove them a. any time
they saw fit.
According to the law, as read by
The gentleman from Washoe, the
House stood organized in a legal man
ner at the present time and that even
if such were not the case that any
measures enacted by the present ses-
sion would be declared constitutional.
Resolution No. 4, appropriatinS $50
for expenses OF members during the
session was defeated.
Resolution No. 3, making appo'ntees
from each house into special com
mittee was. adopted.
The action Of the special committee
so far was outlined by Mr.. Huskey
and MIR. Syphus. Both these gentle
men addressed the body, stating that
it was the wish OF the committee that
the citizens of the State OF Nevada
express their deas ad wishes in the
form of a bill and send or present
them to some member of the Legisfa-
ture. The member was then to place
the same in the hands Of the special
committee and they would give it the
proper consideration.
The idea, as expressed this morn
ing. is to get as many ideas on the
subject Of policing the State as pos
sible. these to be incorporated in the
+ bill that will sooner or later be intro
duced TO the two branches of the Leg
islature. An order was also made
eliminating long speeches before the
committee in fovor Of or against any
Of the ideas that may be presented Tor
consideration. This is done so that
something definite may be accom-
Wished at an early date by the Legs
lative bodies.
When the final bill is drafted it Will
he given to the respective bodies ano
at that time full discussion OF the
measure, the considering of amend
ments and the like will be in order.
Last evening the special committee
adopted the following resolution:
