IN STRONG ARRAY Encouraging Reports Submitted to Federation of Labor. Boston, Nov. 10.—The 22rd annual convention of the Amer'c.an Federation of Labor is now in full progress. Samuel Gompers’ annual address showed that the gain in membership of the affiliated international unions and of the American Federation of Labor during the last year had been 442,100. Mr. Gompers reviewed at length what the federation had accompli: hed during the year, and he made numerous recommendations. He pointed out that the grave danger which confronted their movement was the internecine strife due to the conflicting claims of trade jurisdiction. Mr. Gompers condemned such antitrust legislation as was secretly •gainst labor and urged eternal vigilance with respect to legislation. The treasurer’s report showed the income of the year was 1247,800, the expenditures $196,015, and the balance on hand $84,000. LYNCHEHAUN’S CASE Indianapolis Irishmen Still Stick to Their Compatriot. Indianapolis. Nov. 10. —The Lynchehaun extradition case has developed a new phase that has startled the Irish of Indianapolis. According to dispatches from London the Irish Nationalists in parliament have disowned his cause and denounced him as an impostor who should be returned to Ireland to complete his life sentence. The attitude of the Irish leaders abroad has alarmed the Indianapolis Irishmen who have helped Lynchehaun. into a disposition to await developments before defending the man longer. Many cable messages and letters have been sent to Irish leaders in the United Kingdom asking advice, but in the meantime the Irish of the city will stand by him in the eVent of further prosecution Horrid Crime in Florida. Marianna. Fla , Nov. 10. —The dead bodies of four negroes, badly mutilated, have been discovered in a cabin eight miles from this place. The bodies have been Ident led as Henry Kelly, hts wife and three small children. Kelly, his wife and one of the children had been murdered by having been beaten over rhe head with some blunt instrument, while the two younger children had been decapitated Allen Roulhaes and a boy named Gordon, negroes, have been arrested on suspicion. INTERESTING RUMOR This Government May Restore th* Status Quo in Colombia. Washington. Nov. 10.—Reports are current here to the effect that an effort is making whereby negotiations for a Panama canal treaty nay yet be resumed with Colombia, notwith standing the defection of the department of Panama and the establishment of an independent government there. These have as their basis the restoration by the United States of the status quo on the isthmus as affairs existed ten days ago, following which Colombia would immediately take up the question of a canal treaty with a view to a speedy ratification of such a convention. It is said that unofficial representations of this tenor have come from an outside nation which is vitally interested In the question, and that an official of the state department has been approached on the subject. That something along this line was done, it is said, was admitted by a department official, but that the inimaiion had been conveyed in reply that the time for interposition of friendly offices of this character had passed and that the United States could not consiih r such an offer. It was said positively by a cabinet officer that no official overtures of the character referred to had been made. As has been said heretofore repeatedly, the Hay-Herran convention is dead, irrevocably so, anil any negotiations for a canal treaty must be on the basis of a new convention. It was made plain by the official referred to that the United Stales did not intend to and would not annex Panama or dominate by force, but that it was open to and anxious for negotiation of the treaty providing for an isthmian waterway. The United States, it Is said will land Its good offices to bring about a meeting of General Reyes and the Panama officials, and will do everything in Its power to hasten a satis factory adjustment of the questions brought forward as a result of the recent developments on the isthmus Mr. Herran, Colombian charge, said he was still without any advices from his government, although ho kept the officials at Bogota promptly advised of everything that was taking place. As yet hr hud not received any reply to hfs protest against the attitude of the United States government in insular affairs. Teachers Will Meet. Indlanaixdix. Nov. Id. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
