Last Night.
AN ENORMOUS PARADE
AS High as Twenty Thousand Are Es-
timated to Have Taken Part
in the Procession
Given.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Organized
labor representing many parts of this
country, Canada and Cuba, paid not
able tribute last night, in this city, to
the homecoming from Europe of Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amari-
can Federation of Labor, who arrived
here early in the evening from New
York. The celebration in honor of his
return, after an absence of several
months, was probably the most en-
thus astic demonstration ever accord
ed an American labor leader There
was monster parade, followed by d
big mass meeting at Convention Hall.
Estimates of the number OF men and
women in the parade ran as high as
100000 The event derived added in
terest from the fact that this was the
day upon which the Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia was ex-
pected to hand down it's decision in
the contempt proceedings against Mr.
Gompers and other federation officials
The decision of the court, however
failed to materialized.

PEORIA, Ill, Oct. 13.-Caught in

The man died within five minutes

The skull had been crushed and near

Charges by Stating That His

Word.

the Return Trip But Were
Silent About the

CLEVELAND, O., Oct 13.-Dr.
Cook made hot retort today to Peary's
charge that Cook did not reach the
pole. Peary's charge made in the form
of statement to the public and sign
ed by four members of his party was
that Cooks esquimos had admitted at
Nerke in August that Cook diG not go
to tae pole. that his farthest north was
Cape Hubbard, or point about 81 de-
grees north. DIR. Cook came back to-
day with the statement that his es-
quimos had been instructed not to tell
Peary of Cooks trip over the polar
sea. That they kept their word and
the things they said to Peary and his
men had been twisted. Cook infers
that Ah-pe-la and I-took-a-shoo threw
Peary and his men off the track by
telling of Cooks movements south from
Cape Hubbard and true to tae.r prom
Use. said nothing of their trip to the

DECATUR, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-The Illi-

ton promises to become one of the
biggest before the convention here.
The discussion was characterized by
one OF the delegates as featured chief

1t may be that the idea will be
favored by the monotery commission.

The Execution of Professor Ferrer in
Spain Has Created Intense
Feeling in All Parts
of Europe.
THE KING rs IN DANGER
Court Martial Will Likely Precipltate
Revolution Which viii
Extend Far Beyond
Spain.

LONDON Oct 13.-The Madrid
correspondent of a local newspaper
telegraphs that Professor Ferrer, CON
vlcted by court martial of melting the
riots in Barcelona. was shot this morn
ing in the fortress of Monutjuish "If
Professor FHrrer, one of the noblest
and best men in all Europe and
worthy to be called the Tolstoi of
Spain, is murdered, after n mock
trial, the civilized world will suffer an
unspeakable humiliation" This edi.
torial expression in the London News
indicates the intense interest that
England felt in the fate of Ferrer.
The government makes no attempt to
conceal its fears that the execution
will precipitate a Spanish revolution,
which may effect other countries The
outcry that went up all over Europe
against tae execution was not CON
fined to the Radicals. 1t came from
high circles as well as low, and was
voiced by Conservatives in official
positions as we'll as by the mob Of
revolutionary tendencies. English
sympathies are almost wholly with
Ferrer. They consider 1t grave
political blunder. Socialists through
out France and host of his friends
had hoped 60 the last that King AL
phonso would remute the death sent
ence in view of the consequences
lslikely to follow. Demonstrations are
being made in many parts of spair
today and it is feared an attempt vii
be made on the life of the king before
sundown.
