by a large majority. The debate had
been proceeding for five days.
A motion was Immediately adopted

John p. White International Presi-

anthracite mining, he said, that the
miners had gained an increase In
wages without striking. The advance
is 10 per cent, with the old sliding
scale abolished. 1t will net them about
5 IL per cent. Other concessions are
contained in the agreement, one of the
most important of which is that pro-

SOCIALISTS NOMINATE DEsS.
Seidel Chosen as Running Mate by
National Convention.

Indianapolis, Ind.-For President.
Eugene V. Debs of Indiana for Vice
President, Emil Seidel of Wisconsin.
This is the ticket nominated by the
Socialist national convention, the SEN
timent for Debs being virtually unani-
nous and Seidel being an easy winner
over Charles Edward Russell.
The lines between the conservatives
and radicals We're drawn many times
again, but, in the main, the conserva-
tives won out either by vote or by
compromise that left them masters of
the field.
The convention declared against vio-
lence in labor strikes, although it went
on record as being in sympathy with
the strikers. The most heated discus
sion resulted over a motion by Miss
Maley, in effect, that men hereafter
applying for membership in the party
must recognize the right OF women to
vote There was strong opposition to
it but it was carried by vote of 135
to sc.
The police having withdrawn oppo-
sition to the red flag" parade, the
delegates marched in the downtown
streets, each of them carrying small
red flag.

Havana-There is no room for
doubt of the existence of a negro con-
spiracy extending to all provinces of
the island, with the apparent inten-

Government. The negroes appear to
have been reused to rebellion by the
denial of what seems TO them their
just political rewards for services rem
dered in the war of independence, in
which they constituted great major
ity of the Cuban forces.
The situation was considered suffi-
ciently grave for the Government TO
send 1900 cavalry and infantry with
field and machine guns from Camp Co

ente provinces Near Sagua la Grande

In the course of his answers he
said
God will take care of my soul, and

and a black bow tie with gold studs
on his shirt front and with low black

Finally the seavchers went to the
morgue, disclosed their identity and
the nature of their mission, and were
admitted. The valet recognized the
body of the King, and it was removed
to the hotel.
