Mayor Harrison, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Governor Yates and R. W. Hall (of Texas) spoke in the order given. A parade of prize-winning horses and a concert preceded the speechmaking.

He said that while the cattle exports from this country last year were worth $80,000,000, the great market waa at home “among our own people and under our own flag ” “The horse,” said the speaker, “is with us tonight, and he will be with us througli the ages when the automobile and the bicycle are in the junk pile. No man ever rode a bicycle who had owned a horse; no man would own an automobile who understood the beaties of the horse.” The audience was still applauding when Governor Yates arose and bade the visitors to the show and to the convention of the National Live Stock association welcome to the state. The governor was followed by R. W. Hall. Mr. Hall maintained a humorous vein in his talk and held the audience to the end.

Brown assaulted him with an iron bar, which he had concealed In his cell. The clergyman was made unconscious and Brown'walked out of his cell into the corridor. He made his way to the jail yard and attempted to scale the wall. Sheriff Fenton and Chief Clerk Joseph Fleetwood, procuring revolvers, cornered the murderer, who, waving the iron bar, defied the officials. The sheriff threatened to shoot him, and Brown, seeing the impossibility of escape, finally surrendered and was led back to his cell. He was hanged at 10.1)5 o’clock.

Scranton, Pa., Dec. s.—The twentyfirst annual convention of the American Federation of Labor was called to order shortly after 10 o’clock hi the morning by President Samuel Gompers, and probably the greatest laboi convention that has ever been held in this country was under way.

The convention is held in St. Thomas’ college hall, and the delegates marched to the meeting place in a body, preceded by a band of music. Several Couiplaintx to Consider. The executive council has been In session for several days transacting routine business, hearing complaints and arrranging to receive resolutions. The credentials committee must act first and has several complaints to consider. Chief among these protests is that of the United Hatters of North America against the seating of Gabriel Joseph, cigarmaker, the delegate sent by the United Labor league of Philadelphia. He is being protested on the ground that the United Labor league permits the Philadelphia Hatmakers’ union to retain its membership, although it has been suspended by the national organization. In addition, protests have been filed against the representative of the Richmond Central Labor union by some of the colored delegates, who assert that that organization has discriminated against colored working people by refusing to admit the colored trade unions to membership. A protest has also been filed against seating the representatives of the Chicago Central Labor union. Disputes To Be Settled. The convention will be asked to take action on many disputes between trades that are affiliated with the federation. The International Association of Machinists has demanded that the charter of the English Amlagamated Society of Engineers, Machinists, etc., be annulled. It is said the Brotherhood of Carpenters will demand the annulment of the charter of the Amalgamated Wood Workers’ union. The International Tile Layers' union will demand jurisdiction over the Mosaic Workers’ union, and the electrical workers will dispute the right of gas and steam fitters to run electric conduit pipe. There will be a general controversy over the question of trade autonomy. The larger unions will insist upon the right to form mixed unions under theii own control where the workers in other trades are employed. The deliberations of the gathering are secret and the delegates may be here ten days.

ROOSEVELTS FIRST MESSAGE

Byaopsls of the Subjects Mentioned aud What Is Said Thereof. Washington, Dec. 3.—President Roosevelt’s annual message begins with a warm tribute to the late President McKinley, and urges on congress the necessity of legislation for the suppression of anarchistic teachings in this country. He next remarks on the prosperity the country is enjoying, and from that subject comes Indirectly to the consideration of “trusts.” He advises caution in dealing with this problem and considers the first essential to be publicity—that the public should know all about the workings of great corporations. He advises that if it is necessary to amend the constitution to secure government Inspection and ‘regulation of trusts, the constitution should be amended. The president favors the ro-ennct> ment of the Chinese exclusion law, and going from that subject into organized labor, he declares that such organization accomplishes much good, and urges that government contracts shall provide that all government work must be done under fair conditions. While opposing any general tariff changes, he declares for reciprocity, which, he’ says, should be treated as the hand-maiden of protection. He also enlarges on the necessity of finding markets for our"constantly growing surplus of production, and asks the senate’s attention to the reciprocity treaties now before that body. He urges the building up of our merchant marine and that congress should take such action as will remedy ths inequalities in conditions obtaining on foreign and United States merchant vessels, such as wages, etc. As to finances, he suggests bettef safeguards against derangement In commercial crises, but on the whole, approves the national bank system. There are weighty reasons, he says, why we should deal liberally with Cuba in the matter of tariff duties; urges patience, strength and resolution in dealing with the Philippines and the development of the Hawaiian Islands. He makes a number of recommendations for the management of the Philippines. He would have the Nicaraguan canal begun at the earliest moment and says of the treaty with Great Britain on that subject that It guarantees to the United States every right it has asked in connection w-ith the canal. The Monroe doctrine, he declares* to lie the right basts of our policy as to South America, and defines it as a declaration against acquirement of territory on that continent by any European powers—and that only. He urges increase of the navy, but says the army is large enough. He declares unequivocally for civil servica reform, and its expansion. He closes with an appropriate refer* ence to the death of Queen Victoria and the Dowager Empress Frederick, and thanks to the Almighty “that we are at peace with the nations cf mankind.”
