The last of the contested seat eases were set- ! tied at the morning scs.-ion. The official j roll of the l"edcratin shows the presence f Zl'l delegates, the largest number in j the history of the organization. During j the ia?t two days 107 resolutions were pre- j s ntcd for consideration by the convention, and all of them were referred to committees. The committees will hold sessions to-morrow because ot the enormous ; amount of business to bo disposed of. and ! It Is not unlikely that some of the resolutions will be reported to the convention on Monday. The morning session was given up to the completion of organization and in the afternoon the l'.ritlsh fraternal delegates addressed the convention on the trade union condition in Oreat Britain. W. I). Mahon. of Detroit, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street-railway Linployes. introduced a resolution, which was adopted, indorsing the strike of the local Street-car Union against the Scranton Street-railway Company. The resolution also recomim nded that the executhe council of the Federation give the strikers every possible aid. It is likely that the council will make a substantial appropriation. The men have been on strike for ten weeks. The company Is running cars regularly with nonunion men. but the pub--lie is not patronizing the company to any extent. Among the large number of resolutions presented to-day were several relating to the ltal question of trade jurisdiction. Other imrortant resolutions introduced wer these: Asking for an appropriation of J."..im to aid the San Francisco Iron "Workers; increasing the salaries of the national organizers 13 pe. cent., and also.

Great Britain, was introduced at the opening of the afternoon session. lie reviewed the labor conditions as they now rrevnil In the British Islands. He said hij association organized unions in this country thirty-thre ears ago, and efforts haC been made in certain localities to ha. Its members join the ftrothet liood of Carpenters. He pleaded v. Ith the delegates not to force the Amalgamated members to do this or they would sacrifice much if they took surli action. .Mr. Chandler feelingly referred to th-j assassination of President McKinley and said the bond between the American and English people is so Ftrong that "politicians and intriguers could not brwak it." . Benjamin Tillctt, of the British Trades Union Congre ss, made an addrt ss, advocating socialism. Mr. Tillett held the attention of the delegates for an hour and a half. Ho said that the force that is dolnx more for labor than any other Is the "intellectual force of socialism." He e-mpha-elzel the importance of liberal contributions of money to help lalnir in its struggle for Utter conditions, and differed with President t'Jomners on the question of compulsory arbitration. Mr. tlompers, in his annual report, made an argument against compulsory arbitration. Mr. Tillett said he Is opposed to leaving labor disputes to "the prejudices of the courts." He believed In placing those questions in the hands of a board of arbitration made up of experts. - I. M. Draper, of the Canadian Trades Vnion Congress, pleaded for more aid from the Federation. He said Canada presented a widt Held for missionary work in the interest of organized labor. He touched on the Chinese exclusion act and said that Canada should also restrict Mongolian Immigration instead of admitting Asiatics on th payment of a poll tax of $HJ. In British Columbia, Mr. Draper said, that In ii number of factories employing S.oyO persons, four hundred were skilled white workmen and the other T.tf'O Chinese and Japanese. President Gompers replied to the foreign delegates on behalf of the delegates. Addresses also wert; made by Miss Harriet Keyser. f the Church League, for the advancement of the interest of organized libor. and Mrs. Julia Llewellyn, organizer of the Women's International Labor League. -Ji.Mint Admit I impeetori.

The Old Hnllronder Story of n NurItriInis; I'oker Omne. Detroit Free Tress. "In my young days," said thc railroad man with a touch of pathos in his voice-, 'T got a job as station agent at the most lonesome junction 1 ever ran across in the West. 1 had to board myself, and out?ide of the train hands and a tdray cowboy there was no one to talk to. 1 was getting mighty tiretl ef the job when a stranger stopped off one night lo tiike the narrow gauge, lie had three hours to wait, and as there was nothing doing with me 1 made bold to ahk if he didn't want a little game of poker. " I might take a hand for small stakes, he replied after looking me over pretty carefully, and 1 got out an old pack of cards and at it we went. I never was a decent hand at the game and at that time; hardly knew th value of the cards. I further had only about cents in -ash, and so you may believe nie that 1 did not sit down In a spirit of avariee. W played a 5-eent ante and a lo-c-nt-limit game ior a while and I hail the best of luck. 1 was about $2 ahead when the stranger asked to raise the ante to .""ii cents and the limit to $1. I didn't object ami my luck si ill fedlowed me. 1 didn't have to do any blutling. The poorest bands I got held two pairs, while he was in luck to get a pair of jacks. Before three hours were up 1 vas f'J ' ahead of him. and when the train whistled and I called his attention to it he replied : " 'Never mind the train. I'm going to sit here till mv luck changes. "After I had sem the train off and reported her we went at it again. This time it was a dollar ante and no limit to tue game. The stranger had a bier wail with him and could have raised me nut, but he played fair. It was more than l would have done with luck dead against me. When it came 6 o'clock in the morning and the express was due I was $;yi ahead of the game. He didn't do any kicking, but went off geod naturcd. though I war, soon to hear from him again. That afternoon I got the bounce through the division superintendent, and when I asxe-.l the reason he replied : " 'For playing poker.' " 'But I neglected none of my duties.' I replied. " 'But you played against our new superintendent.' "'The devil I did! Of course 1 didn't know him. Weil, he might h:.ve won ray money.' " 'But vou won his. you see, and we've got to keep up the discipline Back up and git!' "I got." sighed the story teller, "and I thoucht it was a mean trick for a year or so.
