Ilm HrsrfcIna the 0..lle lle llmt liiuld I ounU ai llliu Uaa Ilia Hat and Coal. St. I barb s. Mo., Oct. 7. Albert j Mag, aged 37, former ineinlier of the St. Charles city Couaatl, disappeared from u ferryboat between St. t buries and the oppoaitt bank of the Missouri river Monday morning. and is believed to have committed suicide. Mr. lliinge's hat and coat were found on the boat t, V Ciates, on which it is known that he left the St. C harles landing. No one saw him leap into the river, and he was not inibsed until his garments were found. lr. J. E. Itruere. who had started with him on nn intended visit to St. Louis, identified the coat and hat. Mr. Klinge was lieing taken to St. I.ouis by Dr. Itruere for treatment for a nervous trouble. He had been under Dr. llruere's care for several years, and the family physician bnd recommended that he seek the attention of a specialist. After the boat left the bank, at seven o'clock, Dr. llruere lost sigh; of his companion, ami was converging with a party of ladies on the front deck. When the south landing wns reached, the man whose duty it is to lay the gangplank brought Mr. Kungc's hat and coat, asking if they belonged to any one on board. A search for the missing owner of the garments was at once commenced, but h was uot to be found M the boat. Dr Rruere sav- that his patient had be.ii worrying over the recent death of his father from consumption and the fear that he might become a victim of the same disease. This, added t the nervous trouble, had, he said, affected Mr. Range's mind. Mr. Kunge was one of the bestknown citizens of St. Charles. He lived, with his wife and three children, at Third and McDonald streets, lie was inspector for the St. Charles Panning Co.. and was a director in the St. Charles Mutual Fire In-urance Co. He was formerly employed st lamp's brewery in St. Louis, but left bis position there on account of failing health. Two Years ago Franklin Keeker, a St. ( harles banker and nn intimate pcTSOtial file ad Of Mr. Kunge, committed suicide by jumping into the river from the ferryboat Lawn.

In beautiful weather which promises to continue for the remaining days of the nrmy maneuvers, the exercises were resumed Monday morning. The problem for the day was the attack and defense of a position. The general situation was assumed to lie ns follows: A Hlne force, coming from the wet. was operating against a ltrown force, located BOrthcaat Of St. Mary's, Kas. The Hlues were flaps ailing upon the I'nion Pacific railroad for supplies. The main blue force beyond Bt, Marv's vv:is supposed to have met with a serious reverse, and had be temporarily thrust off its line of direct communication with Ft. Kiley. Maj.

IHK FEDERATION OF LABOR.

I Caaruilve gSJBjgfJ uf lha Auierteau tdf Olluu Holding a Wek' Aaatalua la W hliioii Washington, 0t t, DM vn-ire council of the American F. l t.ition of Labor began a week's scbmioii h-re Monday . The report of the seerstarv 4 treasurer showed the Ann io n. federation of Labor I be la excellent condition: that an increase oi more than L'OO.OiMi nieinlurs has Im en gained in the Inst four months; that the ,.ftic al niagaine. the American I'cderat.onist, is on a sound basis financially ami otherwise; that the art now more than S0 volunteer org.uiiers throughout the country and 10 salaried organiers dinctlv employed by the A. r. of L, and organiers employed by affiliated national unions Reports were received from various organizations indicating their progr ss and growth, the most interesting report being that of the miners, stating that the situation of the strike is fairly good, and argfasg further contributions to maintain the families of the men on strike. The International Longshoremen's association made application for a new charti r under the name of International Longshoremen. Marin- and Transport Workers' Association of America. Inasmuch as this would extend its jurisdiction to trades and occupations nlriady organized, and which organizations have protested against the change in title and jurisdiction, the executive council decided to recommend t the convention of the federation nt New Orleans, in November next, that a Special committee lie appointed to consider the entire matter. In regard to the controversy between the Chicago Federation of Labor and the hicago Typographical union N. Iii. it was decided that the former be reipiired to rescind its order suspending the local union, anil that the union le requited to elect delegates to represent it in the ( hicago Federation f Labor in anticipation of the hitter complying with the decision. In ihe mnt'er of the eontrover.-- be 1 u een the Amalgamated Woodwork ers" Internal ional union, the representatives of both organizations were notified to be present on Friday for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement readied between 'he organizations last December has been faithfully complied with. An appeal for a charter for the Package Freight Handlers vva received and ordered referred to a special committee to lie appointed at the New Orleans convention. THERE'S SOMETHING DOING. I rank I. surfrnt Ha an Intel ti.vv With fmMot awasswan in Wwav nartaw Washington, Oct. 7. There was only one development of importance in the co strike situation. Mon ia.v frank P. Sargent, commissioner of immigration, and for many years chief of the Rrothcrhood of Locomotive Firemen, had a long interview with Presidt nt Koosevelt and left Washington very soon afterwards. Mr. Sargent indicated that the interview concerned the coal strike, but he would not discuss the matter. From the fact that he always has been influential with labor organizations, it was lielieved that he is intrusted with a nicssj-gv to President Mitchell of the miners' union. It is also said that Mr. Sargent is to meet Mr. Mitchell in Philadelphia and deliver the iitessaL"- -f the president urging that tin" miners end the strike in the interest of the public. While many propositions have been under discussion, it is almost certain that th admi ni-t ra t ie.n is taking up only one pita at a time. The present pan is that outlined in the dispatches Saturday and Sun. lay, and contemplates an end of the strike by the action of President Mit bell and his nsso iates. and a full investigation of the mining conditions later. No !ioe is entertained that anything can le accomplished through the coal operator-. Should the movement now on foot fail, there seems to lie no other plnn which eeati I feasible solution of the serious problem. win inn. i pnii.ADKi.rHl, He Sprat Sl Mourn In Ihe CMf oa a Wjslerlooa tlalt.
