The Australian steimer Warrimoo, which has arrived, brings startling news, that a majority of the Islin.Js of the New Hebrides group are passing through a baptism of fire, earthquakes and volcanic disturbances, threatening the very existenoe of several of the largest and best Islands, Including Ambrym, celebrated for the excellence of its coffee. On the latter an entire village of natives was recently carried Into the sea, the loss of life being estimated at sixty to seventy-five men, women and children, while in others of the group fatalities arc also reported. A layer of ashes from two to six Inches deep covers the once fertile fields. At ErU on Nov. 2, there was a severe earthquake In the early morning which opened an entire volcanic crater on the west fide of Ambrym. and on the next day the whole Island trembled. Since then it has opt-ned on five or six different places. Even the island of Epi, which was much less affected, had to the 7th of November left slxty-thrue distinct shocks and for weeks had been covered by clouds of ashes and smoke. Traders and planters living on Ambrym Island have fled precipitately to Tort Sandwich, Malicollo, the nearest port. In many cases abandoning all their possessions. On the 13th of November an earthquake shock rocked Ambrym from east to west, causing the ground on which stood a small native village to slump with the houses of the Inhabitants into the sea. It isj Impossible to accurately state the extent of the fatalities, but the lowest estimate of the loss of life is fifty. Commander-in-Chief Admiral Bowden Smith has given to the press the following report made to him by the commander of the Dirt: "While we were lying at Dippont. Ambrym : lar.d," h writer, "an eruption on that inland to k place. It presently became evident, that a lava stream, marked by a dense column of smoke, was making its way through the hill.-? to the sea. The ship was stepped some 20 yards off shre, where it was seen the stream would emerge, and soon afterward tongues of fiam-s were seen among tha trees, and presently the h,-ad of the stream appeared, a red-hot mass, with lumps of slag tossing about on its surface. "When it reiched the water a man magnificent sight ensued. A dense pillar of steam rose rapidly in a perpendicular direction to a night of about 4, ZW fee:. A few seconds latr violent submarine explosions of steam took place, the water rising in huce bubbles some 100 feet high and then bursting in ait directions in radiating tongues of water mixed with blac k masses, presumably of Java. A considerable swell was s-nt out afterwar 1 and as the area cf explosions appeared to be extending rapidly thi ship wa3 moved to a safer distance. "Canoes full cf natives were leaving the island in all directions, some of which were taken In tow at Dippoint. where they were clear of immediate danger. The ship then proceeded around to tha south side cf the island, when it was seen the old crater of Mt. Maryun in the center of the Island was In violent eruption and that dense misses of smoke were rising over all the western island. "On returning, while rounding Dippoint, a sudden outburst accompanied by continuous explosions tok place. About two miles to the southward of Mission station the cliffs were seen to be falling inland and flames appeared over the gap behind the Mission. The natives were assembled In terrified groups on the beach, and I accordingly tent boats in offering to take off all that wished. The proup was In a etate of terror and the noise of the eruption was indescribable. Du.st and debris fr-.m the burning brush fell continuously. Throughout the next day earthquake shocks were severe. "The next morning we proceeded to the northeast point of the Island as far as Dippoint, which was found to be in total darkness, objects boincr scarcely visible over a quarter of a mile. We communicated with the shore and found the natives re-assured, as the actual fires in the vicinity had ceased. At 6 p. m. we proceeded to Port Sandwich, not clearing the Fhower of dust till more than half way across. Several shocks wre experienced on the way, and in all thirty-one shocks were felt in seven hours on board the ship, one at 2:30 a. m. being particularly severe. "A grMt portion of the cliff at Dippoint had fallen into the sea, and all abng the shore to the eastward clouds of dust are rising and lands': les have occurred. Dust vaj now falling heavier than ever, but of lighter ccl'r and finer description. Every thing on shore was. covered with deposit, tie landscape being" one of uniform, dull slate color and th ship a gray mass. We Landed and proceeded over the hill for about two miles until the stream of lava was reached. Although cooled down It has still been proceeding at some four or five feet an hour in the direction of Banlang on th south cast. Owinar, however, to the thickness of the atmosphere I: was Impossible to p"t any news of what was happening. We then returned to Port Sandwich." BEATEN BY BURGLARS. An Aged Con pie Robbed of a Good Round Sam. ERIE. Pa.. Dec. 16. Mr. and Mrs David Slocum, a wealthy couple living near Edir.boro. were robbed about midnight by . a gang of masked burglars.

DEATHS.

Sir John Thompson. "WINDSOR. England. Dec. 12. -Sir John Thompson, the Canadian prime minister, expired at Windsor today after the meeting of the privy council at which he was sworn in as a member. After attending the. privy council meeting. Sir John adjourned with the ministers and others to luncheon. Shortly after this he became suddenly ill and expired almost immediately. It is presumed that his death was caused by heart disease. Sir John Thompson was one of the speaker at the meeting of the Colonial institute last evening. He sat in the rear of the hall and appeared to be in low spirits. When he arose to address the meeting it was noticed that he spoke in a heavy voice, and he apologized for the brevity of hl3 remarks, saying that he was indisjiosed. Sir John, in the course of his speech, sali that the enthusiasm displayed by the Ottawa conference was merely an echo of that fault through Canada, lie said: "We want to show the world that we are a united people and we have done so. One of the objects the conference achieved was to lessen the distance and the time cf communication between the colonics." Sir John also referred to the unanimity of the colonies in offering subsidies and said that the feeling of Canadians had been so nnused about the mail service that the new project was certain of accomplishment within a short time. He trusted that the influence of the meeting of the colonial institute would tend to the establishment of stiil greater unity between the colonies of the empire. The Canadian prime minister was well received, but it was generally believed that he was suffering from a cold. When the representative of the Associated Press saw Sir John after the meeting he looked very unwell and appeared to te experiencing difficulty in breathing. But in a kindly manner he said: "I wish I could oblige you with my views upon the copyrieht ques'ion, the importation of Canadian cattle into England and other subjects affecting my country. But, until the conferences with the marquis of Ripon, (tha colonial secretary) are closed, you will understand that my lips are sealed. Come and see me on Thursday and I may then be able to talk." Sir John Thomrson then drove to his hotel at Kensington and retired Immediately to ret. The queen had invited Sir John to dine and sleep at Windsor castle töricht. The greatest excitement prevails at Windsor castle this evening. S'.r Chirles Tupper hi3 gone to Windsor to take charge of Sir John Thompson's remains. It h expected that they will be taken to Canada for buriil. Senator SanfOrd, with whim the Thompsons came to Englind, left yesterdiy evening for Paris with M:s3 Thompson, daughter of the late premier, who his been staying with Mr. and Mrs. SanfjrJ. A telegram wa3 sent to announce Sir John's death to the senitor and Mi-s Thompson will return to thi city tonight. Queen Victoria has telepraphed her condolence to the Canadiin people. Lord Bread llbane said: "I accompanied Sir John Thompson to Winlsor. At luncheon he suddenly fiintad and one; "f the servants and mysdf suceec-d.d in getting him into the next room. whTe we placed him on a lounge near the window. I pot some water for him and the servant was sent for a little brandy. When ta brandy wis given to him Sir John revived in a short time and seemed much distressed at having made what he regarded as a scne, remarking, "It sms too weak and foolish to flint like this." "I replied: 'On does not f ilnt on purpose. Pray do not distress yourself about the mitter." He tn begged me to return to my luncheon, but of -..ursv I would not hear of it. and therefore I remained with him until he seemed to have c-.-.mi-lctMy reeovered and arose to accompany me back to the luncheon rom. I offered him my arm. but he walked uml-b-d. cheerfully remarking: 'I am all right now, thank you.' "In the meantime. Dr. Reed, the queen's physician, whom I had sent for. arrived. Within two or three minutes of Sir John's return to luncheon, and, I believe, before he had tasted a cutlet, or whatever had been placed before him. I sow him suddenly lurch over and fill almost into Dr. Road's arms. "At the doctor's request all ladies? left the room and the doctor and I, with pome of the servants, alone remained. We did ail we could, but I saw thit he was beyond earthly help. Dr. Read held the same view and it unhappily proved to be but too terrible. The eause of his death was undoubtedly sudden failure of the heart's action." Sir Charles Tubber returns to London tomorrow to make the final arrangements for the funeral. The queen countermanded the dinner arranged for tonight. Hubert Iouln SlrTPmnn. AUCKLAND, N. Z., Dec. 10. Advices from Apia, Samoa, of date of Dec. 8, are to the effect that the well-known novelist, Robert Louis Stevenson, had died suddenly from apoplexy. His remains were interred on the summit of Pala mountain, 1.300 feet high. At the time of his death Mr. Stevenson had half completed the writing of a new novel. Robert Ixuis Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Nov. 13, 130. He was educated nt private schools and at the university of Edinburgh and was called to the Scottish bar, but traveled and devoted himself to literature. One of his earliest works waj an account of his travels In California, but the work which established his repu tation a3 a writer of fiction was "Treasure ; Island." and published in 1SS3. Among the most popular of his works is "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." which wa.s dramatized and played at the Lyceum theater in London in 1HSS and subsequently in the United States. Among his other works are "Kidnaped," "The New Arabian Nights" and "The Black Arrow." Some time ago Mr. Stevenson, who was suffering from lung trouble, went to the South Pacific for hi3 health. He became enraptured with the Samoan islands and ; decided to take up his residence and spend the rest of his days there. He took a close interest In Samoan affairs and has written many letters to the newspapers In favor of the natives as against the treaty powers, under whose direction the government of the Wands is conducted.

FOR FREE SILVER COINAGE

FEDERATION OP LAHOR ADOPTS A RESOLUTION TO THAT EFFECT. A Sentiment in the Convention Astalnst the Aetlon Other Resolutions Are Adopted Ilnrns to Appear in Indianapolis Dee. DENVER, Dec. 13. Upon the assembling of the convention of the American federation of labor today the executive committee submitted the following schedule of dates for meetings to be addressed by John Burns, to be substituted for the one submitted yesterday: Omaha, Dec. 17; Chicago, Dee. 19; St. Louis, Dec. 21; Indianapolis, Dec 22; Cincinnati, Dec. 23; NeLsonvIile, O., Dec. 24; Detroit, Dec. 23; Cleveland, Dec. 26; Pittsburg. Dec. 27; Washington, Dec. 23 and 30; Philadelphia, Dec. 31; Boston, Jan. 2. The report was adopted. The auditing committee reported: Receipts of the year, $13,34G; balance on hand Nov. 1, 1S93. $7,147; total. $22.493. Expenses Nov. 1, 1893, to Oct. 31, 1S14, $17,302; balance on hand Nov. 1, 1S04, $3,191. The resolution committee, recommended the adoption of a resolution, Indorsed by the typographical union, against land monopoly. The report was adopted. The committee on resolutions also recommended the adoption of Delegate Lloyd's resolution in favor of the free coinage of silver. The preamble covers much of the argument cf the advocates of free coinage and demands the re-enactment of the law in force before 1S73, regardless of the action of any other nation. Delegate Thomas J. Morgan of Chicago offered an amendment that the silver mines be secured as the properly of the government before the adoption of the resolution. He received no second. Treasurer Lennon objected to tha preamble because, he said, it assumed that all the trouble In this country was due to the demonetization of silver, and moved to strike out all except the bare declaration for the re-enactment cf the law. Mr. Lloyd made a strong speech in favor of his lesolution in its entirety. He favored, primarily, a government issue of nonme.allic money, but believed the restoration of silver would be a temporary alleviation cf existing evils. Mr. Wolfson of Fall River offered a substitute similar to the amendment of Mr. Morgan. It was lost and Mr. Lennon's amendment was agreed to, after which the resolution was adopted. The committee indorsed the action of the president in the A. R. U. strike and the various recommends tl -ns of the reprrt. It was recommended that May 1, 1S9.", be fixed for the general establishment of an eight-hour day. The proposed compulsory arbitration law was vigorously opposed. The report was then adopted. President Uompers read a dispatch from Chicasro containing an alleged interview with E. V. Debs, in which he denied having asked Gompers to aid him in the strike. Mr. (Jompers said: "When, during the Chicago conference, I asked him 'What would you have the federation of labor do?' he said, 'If I were in your place I would order the workir.gmn cf America to walk out.' " Tho report of the committee on secretin's report was adopted. It recommended tli? setting a'ide of 13 per cent, of tho revenue as an assistance fund, and that a dfkit of $1,271 in that fund be replaced from the general fund. A resolution agiin.'-t the is-uance cf money by monopolies w;us introduced by Delegate MeOrath and referrtd. The committee on resolutions recommended the adoption of resolutions favoring state employment aganeii s. The grievance cmmi.tee' reported in the Louisville Centril labor union difficulty, sustaining President Gmpers in his granting rf the charter. The protest was from the Louisville trades assembly, which withdrew from th federal! in two years ago. The question was referred to the executive council for final settlement. The committee rn labels and boycotts reported several decisions in support of local boycotts. Among them are the Arena, which, 1: was alleged, was printed by nonunion printers. Many delegates expressed regret at the necessity of taking action against this perknlical. which is regarded as a very able exponent of labor doctrines, and the matter wis finally referred to the executive council with instructions to declare the boycott only after all means of bringing the publication into the union had failed. An invitation was received from the women's clubs to attend a reception to be given at the Albany hotel tomrrow night, but upon the announcement that the Albany is not a union house the invitation was declined. Tomorrow's session will probably be one of the liveliest of the convent! n. At 10 o'clock the "political program" is to come up. The plank over whlth the g.eat fight is to come is number 10. It is as follows: "The collective ownership by the people cf all means of production and distribution." DENVER, Col., Dec. 14. On the assembling of the convention of the American fed-ration of labor today President Gompers announced that John Burns hid informed him that It would be necessary for his engagements at Cincinnati and Detroit that he have an occasional day of rest. The matter cf adopting a Joint label for the shoe workers was brought up with majority and minority reports. As one of three organizations uniting on the label Is affiliated with the Knights of Labor the matter was deferred till the committee on conference reports. A letter from Governor Walte was read. It was a characteristic document touching on the aetlon of Presidents Harrison and Cleveland In calling out the federal troops for the settling of labor and other troubles and urging workingmen to unite In political action. At 10 o'clock, the political program which was submitted by the last convention to the various unions to be acted upon by them and then by the federation, was taken up. It was as follows: Whereas, The trade unionists of Great Britain have, in the light of expedience and the logic of progress, adopted the principle of Independent labor politics as an auxiliary to their economic action, and Whereas. Such action has resulted In the most gratifying success, and Whereas, Such Independent labor politics are based upon the following program, to-wit: 1. Compulsory education. 2. Direct legislation. 3. A legal eight-hour work day. 4. Sanitary inspection of workshop, mine and home. 5. Liability of employers for injury to health, body or life. 6. The abolition of contract system In all public work. 7. The abolition of the sweating system. 8. The municipal ownership of street cars and gas and electric plants for public -distribution of light, heat and power. 9. The nationalization of telegraphs, telephones, railroads and mines. 10. The ownership by the people of all means of production and distribution. 11. The principle of referendum In all legislation: therefore, be k Resolved, That the convention hereby indorse this political action of our British ccmrides; and Resolved, That this program and basis of a political labor movement be and is hereby submitted for the consideration of the labor organizations of American, with the request that their delegites to the next annual convention of the American federation of labor be Instructed on this most important subject. The preamble was stigmatized by Mr. Strasser as a bold misrepresentation. This brought J. T. Morgin, author of the platform, to his feet with a spirited rejoinder. Mr. Strasser moved that the preamble be stricken out. It was claimed that the labor union. cf England had no political organizations John F. Tobin, of the boot and shoe workers stirred up a storm when he asserted that there was a political organization among laboring men and that presidents and secretaries and other ofiicers of thu labor organizations use their

DOVER'S POWDERS

DON'TUSETHEM A Physician's Warning. Dr. Whetstone, 4n his "Home Talks," says: "I know that nine physicians out of ten in prescribing for a cold in the head, wlU say: 'Taka ten grains of Dover's powder at bedtime.' Thla prescription wl'l throw the patient Into a profuse perspiration, and the tendency will be to throw off tha bedclothes or to have some portion of the body exposed, when an additional cold will be contracted. This prescription, even when effectual in relieving the attack, does hot fully cure. Dover's Powders are a combination of Opium and Ipecac, and the former drug always leaves the patient with a headache or partial stupor, as many of our readers well know by their own experience. Should additional cold be taken after administration of Dover's Powders, then the cold In the head Is greatly aggravated. Now I can give you a very much better remedy. I published in these columns a few weeks ag3 a pleasant prescription, which has attracted universal attention. It was HOT LEMONADE by a warm, cosy fire, with Tretzinger's Catarrh Balm. This Is a favorite prescription of mine where the colj In the head has just been takfn, and the inflammation of the membranes Just begun and not extended. Sit down at night before a warm Are, open if possible, with a sttaming glass of ho: lemonade, and before retiring, take Pretzinger's- Catarrh Balm and apply It Into each nostril, drawing up the Balm by strong inhalations of air, closing up one nostril at a time by the forefinger when using IL" This remedy has become so well known and so popular, that every druggist has it for sale. The reme-Jy is'Inexpensive, costing but 50 cents. If desired, the manufacturers, Pretzlnger Bros., Dayton, Ohio, will send sample on receipt of two cents in stamps. W. E. Thurber of the Mexican National Railroad Co., General Western Agency, 10 "The Rookery,'" Chicago. 111., says: "I have used your Catarrh Balm with satisfactory results, and can cheerfully record mend it to the public." WORTH A DOLLAR TER DROP. W. B. Manierre, 221S Illion Ave.. N. Minneapolis, Minn., in a letter to Pretzinger Bros., under date of January 5, 1S34, says: "Send by first mail two bottles of your Catarrh Balm. It is worth $1.00 per drop," positions to secure political election and appointment. Objection came from a dozen men. including President Gompers, Secretary Evans and other federation officers. Mr. T bin remirked that such a show of feeling was all the pro f he wanted tha: his shot had hit the mark. He was appliuded by J. T. Morgan and others. 1 'resident Gompers took the lleor and denounced as a lie the general charge, which Included him, and defied Mr. Tobin. Mr. Morgan or any other delegate to point to a vulnerable pi ice In his career as to hones. y. lie declared that it was a cowardly, covert al.a?k upon organized Ja oor. He was mad clear through and his words wire very bitter.- 0:her foil nved in a milder vein, ,Uat the display during the ten minutes occupied by Tobin and Gompers shewed the niture of the fight on the tapis between the supporters and opponents of the socialistic plank. P. J. McGuira denied the action of the English laboring men politically was based upon th planks given in the "political pr grim." He read an extract from an English newspaper which charged John Burns with acting as a decoy for tlie liberal p'rty. He denounced the attempt to force the federation Into a political party when each member had been assured upon joining his univn.that Its pledges should not conflict with his politi.-v 1 views In anv partcular. He said the 1.200 labor leaders of Great Britain, who are holding municipal offi?es, are greatly cu.numbered by their American brethren in similar positions. At 12 o'clock tne previous question was called for and the roll-call resulted in the striking out of the preamble by a vote of 1.3i3 to 801. A vote was then taken on plank one without debate. It was adopted. The convention decided to consolidate planks two and eleven, making, the plank read: "Direct legislation through the referendum." It was adopted. Delegate Strasser offered an additional plank demanding the repeal of the objectionable laws regarding seamen. He wanted it made one of the leading planks. Delegates favoring plank ten saw in the motion an attempt to change the numbering of the planks so as to sidetrack their favorite. Discussion on this subject was unfinished when at 12:30 recess was taken. On the reassembling of the convention N. R. Hysell of the Mineworkers moved that a committee of three be appointed to draft resolutions in regard to the decision of Judge Woods and the imprisonment cf Debs and others. N. R. Hysell. Thomas J. Morgan and Thomas Tracey were appointed. Mr. S:rassr asked permission to withdraw his amendmont to the political program with the understanding it would be reintroduced. Granted. Plank three was taken up and Mr. Weisman of the Bakers' union moved to amend it to read: "An eight-hour day for all government employes, national, state and municipal." This was met by strong opposition. Delegate Lloyd of Boston offered an amendment to read: "A legal workday of not more than eight hours." which was adopted. Plank four was taken up and an amendment was offered eliminating the words, "and home." It was claimed the home should be inviohted from the intrusion of government officials. On the Other hand it was claimed many so-calkd workingmen's homes need inspection as much as shops and factories. A '.er lengthy discussion the plank as originally drawn was adopted. Plank five was adopted without discussion .as were also numbers six and seven. Plank eight was amended to include water work3 and adopted. Plank nine was adopted without discussion although several delegates asked to be recorded as voting in the negative. When the famous plank ten came up a few minutes before 4 o'clock, the tug of war was reached. Mr. Strasser of New Jersey stated he proposed to make the author of that plank declare himself. He referred as an amendment the addition of the words, "by means of confiscation without compensation." T. J. Morgan, author of the plank, seconded the amendment. A. McCraith of Boston offer a substitute as follows: The abolition of the monopoly system of land holding and the substitution therefor a title of occupancy and use only." J. Mahlon Barnes of the Cigarmakers union raised the point of order that a similar resolution had been already adopted by the federation and therefore could not be considered. President Gompers ruled against the point and Mr. Barnes appealed from the decision of the chair. Then a dozen men wanted to discu33 the appeal, but tha president ruled that only the appellant and the appellee could speak. Birnes demanded that the president vacate the chair during the discussion, but the latter declined. The chatr was sustained by a vote of 37 to 15. Most of the delegates came to the hall this afternoon with speeches on plank ten prepared, and this fact no doubt did much to keep down Inflammatory expressions. Thomas I. Morgan of Chicago presented a chart to show the relative numbers and wealth of workingmen. business men, capitalists and millionaires. His speech was a vigorous advocacy of socialism. A Hv9-minute limit bad been made, but

when his time was up half a dozen men volunteered to give him their time, and he spoke half an hour. He denied the charge made In President Gompers's report that the socialistic idea was smuggled into the program. He said: "We have as our allies In the socialistic movement all kinds of labor-saving machinery, and we have the millionaires. They put Deb3 in Jill today. I am glad of it. That is the kind of work that will make you vote to put men on the bench who will not render such decisions." Mr. Strasser followed Mr. Morgan In opposition to socialism. He said socialism was not progressing. The socialistic growth in Germany was not socialism, he said, but the rise of democracy t Mr. Braamwood of the typographical union said so far as he wis informed the delegates were all under instruction from their unions as to their votes, and he thought all arguments were useless. Others spoke at length and the convention adjourned with the question still under consideration. Thomas I. Morgan of Chicago said In regard to the Debs sentence: "The decision, aside from its immediate effects on Mr. Debs, is a good thing for the labor movement. It shows what may be expected from legislatures and courts that are controlled by the capitalists." William B. Preacott, president of the typographical union, paid: "I am opposed to the punishment of one man for the act3 of another. I believe that the injunction Debs violated was againät his real legal right3." DENVER, Dec 15. The discussion of plank 10 in the political platform (the socialist plank) was resumed in the convention of the American federation of labor today. When the afternoon session opened the charges preferred against President Gompers by the German waiters' union. No. 1, and the Bartenders' union. No. 52, of New York, regarding the use of a non-union hall in New York for a dinner to John Burns and Mr. Holmes on Dec. 7 last. After hearing the evidence in the case the convention with one dissenting vote sustained President Gompers. i I 'resident Gompers in his own defense reviewed the arrangements for the dinner to John Burns and David Holmes, Dec. 7, In which Clarendon hall was used. He said that upon Investigation he found there was not a hall in New York that could be secured that employed union men. The proposition of the government of establishing a savings bank in connection with the postoflice department was defeated by a large majority and the question then recurred upon the substitute for plank No. 10, providing for the abolition of the land monopoly ownership and substituting occupancy and improvement as the only guarantee of title, which was adopted. A plank was adopted favoring the repeal of the seaman conspiracy laws. Delegate Morgan offered an additional plank providing for the private corporate ownership of all means of production and distribution, which was laid on the table. A plank was adopted favoring the lssu ance of all money direct to the people by ti-e government. The question of adopting the resolutions indorsing the entire political platform was defeated. The result was considered an overwhelming defeat to tha socialist element. John Burns was introduced, and In a brief speech bid the delegates of the convention a formal gcod-by. He gave the federation a word of advice and urged the elimination of all men who were not members in actual trades and duly accredited delegates. He stated that he Intended to put into book form his impression of the labor movement in America. A resolution introduced and amended that the headquarters of the American federation of labor be removed from NewYork was adopted. The following places were nominated as candidates for heodnuarters: Washington, Detroit, Indianapolis, Brooklyn ? d Louisville. Before the vote was taken the convention adjourned until tomorrow morning. Washington and Indianapolis are th-? leaclin? contestants. TUR COWEXTIOX KXÜED. Imllu tiapnlls Selected as llendqnnrtern. DENVER, Dec. 17. The delegates to the convention of the American federation of labor were nearly all in their seats when the roll was called today. The first business was to determine the future location of the headquarters of the federation. On Saturday the cities of Indianapolis, Detroit, Washington, Brooklyn and Louisville had been placed in nomination. Indianapolis and Washington were the only contestants today. The vote resulted: Indianapolis, 1,290; .Washington, 926. A resolution to make Indianapolis the location for three jears was amencled to make It five years and refer to the committee on laws. The election of officers was then taken up. Mr. Gompers and John McBride, president of the United mine workers, were the onlv candidates for president. The vote resulted: McBride, 1.1C2; Gompers, 9G3. There was no excitement regarding the election of president. The vote proceeded without incident, except that several delegates announced that they would vote against Gompers by instructions from their various unions. President Gompers moved to make the vote unanimous for McBride, but objection was made. Mr. Gompers at once wrote and dispatched the following to McBride, who Ls ill at his home. To John McBride, Columbus. O.: "Congratulations. Elected piesident of federation. None will be more loyal than I to make your administration successful. SAMUEL GOMPERS." Mr. Gompers, who is turned down by this convention. Is a member of the cigarmakers union and has held the position of president of the American federation of labor since 1S82. From then until 1SSQ there was no salary attached to the office. That year it wa3 decided to make the office a permanent one and the salary was fixed at $1,200, this was raised to $1.800 in 1892. The defeat of Gompers seems to be due to a general desire for a change of administration. The mine workers came with 330 vote3 for McBride. For personal reasons the radical socialistic members felt that Gompers was strongly opposed to them, and the president's own actions during this convention have done much to defeat him. He was ill when he came here and his rulings have been noticeably arbitrary and erratic. More than once he has lost his temper and occasionally he has reversed his own rulings. The feeling generally is friendly to Gompers, but the election of McBride is regarded as a good choice. The. action of Gompers in the A. R. U. strike undoubtedly had an effect. It wa3 said by friends of the strikers that, had Gompers supported Debs, the strike would

THEY CAN'T BREATHE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASTHMA LITER. ALLY SMOTHERED TO DEATH.

fl MOST PECULIAR DISEASE Asthma is not a really dangerous disease if It is not allowed to tiocome severe. Cures are recorded every day, but when it is not taken early in hand, more serious trouble is likely to ensue. All sorts of doctors have all sorts of treatment for Asthma. In fact th-re seems to have been very little g d hard ccii mon sense displayed in treating it. Asthma is a spasmodic affection of tha bronchial tubes of the lungs. It is brought on by various things. It may be hereditary. The most frequent cause probably is exposure, e ld and dampness. That makes the start anI subsequent neglect and carelessness do the rest. Asthmatic sufferers have a feeling of oppression across the chest. Breathing becomes more and more difficult and th breathless spasms more sever? an 1 of longer duration as the disease is aggravated. It U purely a uiseasa of th respiratory organs. It may be accompanied by variou digestive disorders, but thesa are merely coincidences and have nothing to do wita the real trouble. The usual course of treatment calls for the employment of nauseating compounds which are taken into tha stomach. Medicine so taken may reach the lungs in the course cf time. They may do some littlt good, but the froquc-nt failures to euro Asthma in this way show very clearly that such treatment is erroneous. Dr. R. Schiff mann of St. Paul. Minn., has devoted many years to the special study of Asthma. Bronchitis ani Croup. He has prepared a remedy which is used by inhalation. It acts directly on the mucous lining of the air passages, thus reaching the sea: of the disease direct, and relieving the asthmatic spasm at once. It promotes frea and easy expectoration and brings comfortable rt to those otherwise unable U ülep except in a chair. To convince the most skeptical of fa imme-cli it. direct and never failing effects, Dr. Sr-hiffmsnn will send a trial package of "Schifmann's Asthma Cure" free to any suffertr who will write to him.
