refused to drink, and several of them
left cars before the ride was com

Injury tn Labor.
Delegate James b. Conner of the
switchmen's union brought this junket
feature of the gathering officially be-
fore the convention during the discus
sion on the motion TO adjourn to visit
the brewery.

tant business to transact. Yesterday
we had q whisky trolley party and
today they want us to adjourn 10 go TO
a brewery. l tell you I am prepared
TO stay here two weeks for business,
but l object 10 this kind of delay"
1T is not so much to visit a brewery
as to visit a plant that is operated on
the closed shop basis and where the
men have one of the best union agree
ments in the country" said Delegate
Gaude of the Brewery Workers union,
ment committee.
Trolley Cars ia Waiting.
The subject came up when p. J. Carl
son of Rock Island, chairman of the
entertainment committee, reminded
the delegates that they had accepted
the brewery's invitation and that troll
ley cars were waiting to take the Wis
itors to the plant.
President Wright told the delegates
that election of officers was a special
order of business Friday and the res
Olutions committee still had a num-
Der of resolutions to report
This had no effect on the delegates,
who cIamored for an adjournment. Anup-
roar followed in which officers and del
egates got themselves into a parlia-
mentary tangle that served only to de
lay matters.
- 1T strikes me that some one is try

said Delegate Briggs of the Milk Wag-
Oh bIlNGIS union. 1 Tor one don
want any more delay. l have several
resolutions in committee that are i'm

President Walker of the Illinois
miners at this point demanded that
opportunity be given for full and fair
discussion of all resolutions pending
in committee. Under a suspension of
the rules, the convention then set the
election of officers for 10 a. M, and
adjourned to meet al a. m in order
to have two hours for the adoption of
resolutions
Differences of Oknion.
There are differences of opinion on
the question of employers liability and
charges have been made against the
officers that should be discussed" said
President Walker. Il believe the of

Wednesday night Charles Nc
Hugh gave a box party to the Rock
Islanders at a theatre where Jimmy
Callahan, the ball player, is appear
ing. Jimmy's monologue was of the
moss covered variety, however, and
McHugh was so dispIeased that he
hunted up a policeman and wanted

Three of the Rock Island visitors
are enjoying particular distinction, in
that they are occupying what is
known as the Grover Cleveland suite
at the Lexington. The rooms were
designed and furnished solely for the
former president at the opening of
the world s fair of 1898. and it was
here that he touched the button that
started the wheels of the big eX
hibition, out on the south side. The
rooms are still just as they were
when Mr.. Cleveland made them his
abode on that memorable occasion
and hence the present occupants, H.
+. Casteel, NJ. II. Sexton, and C. R.
NOurse, are taking no little pride in
receiving their friends in their
apartments.
Last evening NJ. Fl. Sexton, H. z.
Casteel and s. F. Parker gave a din
ner at the Lexington, followed by a
theatre party to the bunch" down
at Spalding's to which the Rock Is
landers are obligated for many cour-
tesies in the past. The guests of
honor were c. A. Lincoln, c. d.
White, R. l.. WEIGH, Fl. d. Burton
and J. II. Freedman. 1t was a very
pleasant affair.
Henry Carse arrived from the east
yesterday and stopped off to see the
games. His presence was all that
was necessary to complete the rep
resentation of Rock Island fandom
that is seen here.
Among the ladies who have ac-
companied their husbands to Chicago
to see the big games are Mrs. L. NJ.
Casteel. Mrs. S. f. Parker and Mrs.
I. p. Sexton.
J. H. TrimbIe. the former Rock
Islander, came over from ndianapo-
lis and Joined the Rock Island
party.
DR.. J. R. Hollowbush, who read
an interesting paper yesterday be-
fore the American Association of
Railway Surgeons, ran away from
the convention without waiting for
the discussion in order to go with
the crowd to the Cub-Athletic game.
What the doctor said about that eX-
hibiCion is not important in this
connection.

as is known it, was the Gloucester and
the Gloucester alone that put them out
of commission.
What is almost as astonishing is the
Gloucester was wounded. An ensign had
a rib broken by the recoil of a gun he
was firing. That was all. And not shot

but she escaped all injury.
From the time the smoke of the Maria
Teresa was seen until Cervera was hand

every discharge of a gun was like the
personal act of Richard Wainwright.

Cervera and the officers of the Teresa

Lieut.. Commander Wainwright fitted him
out as best he could with clothes. Mean
while the men in the Gloucester's boats
turned their attention to rescuing the sur
vivors of the Oquendo. They were put
on shore. Bands of Cubans gathered and
wanted to seize the prisoners. To pro-
tect them the men of the Gloucester
raised the United States flag and left
small guard.
From out of the east the flagship New
York came dashing. Admiral Sampson
had turned as soon as he learned Of the
fight of Cervera and raced back to join
in the battle. Nearly all that the Glouces-
ter had done had been seen from the deck
