The negro proposition in the south, M8 far as it relates to unionism, was unex- pectedly Injected into the procecdings. The long-standing conflict the soclal fsts and trade uniouists promised to mo nopolize the attention of the delegates had the socialists replied to the trade unfonists The questions of organizing laborers into a natlonal union a ing out of unions all orgauizations allied with elty, state, national or international unfons if they refuse to afliate with the American Federation of Labor were also vigorously debated. The soclallstic matter came up during the morning discussion of & committee report endorsing most of the recommendations contained in President Gompers' annual report. D. A. Hayes of Philadelphia, national president of the Glass Hottle Blowers, and Max Hayes ot the Cleveland Central Labor union, the well known sqelalist, made speeches strongly urging the enforcement of laws prohibiting child labor. The latter, during his remarks, read a long list of gondered by federal and sta egalnst organized labor. Protest by Gompers. h lite was the con ot hetween common d of throw clslons A motion to have the list printed in the minutes brought President Gompers, who ‘was not in the chair at the time, to feet and delegates were treated to a three- minute passionate speech. e sald it was unfalr to incorporate the list in the min- utes in that way and suggested that a list of the trade union victories should b printed along with them. He concluded by denouncing the “atiempt to show that trade unionism is a failure,” and character- fzed it as an outrage. A wave of applause swept over the con- wvention as Mr. Gompers took his seat. A motlon was defeated after W. B. Wilson of the miners had spoken along the same tnes as Mr. Gompers and the recommenda- tions of the president were made, except the one referring to a general deforse funi The committees’ suggestion that tho fund #hould be raised by national and labor untons (nstead of by the American Federa tlon of Labor was adopted Debate Colored Question. The negro question came up when the committee on law reported a resolutic compelling all local unions afMliated with the federation to join the central labor bodles 1n their respective localities. Willlam Henry Clay, one of the two col- ored delegates from Virginia, made the polnt that the federation last week in de- clding a contested seat where the color line was brought into question, had authorized the creation of & separate central union in Richmond for colored workmen. The resolution was debated for more than an hour by many delegates. Charles C. Bckard of the Anniston, Ala., trades council made the principal speech in opposition to the report. He sald the proposition would compel white unions to take in negroes and 1t adopted by the convention %0 per cent of the unfons south of the Mason and Dixon line would secede from the federation. He doclared the peoplo of the uorth did not understand the negro problem. His re- marks had eome influence on the delegates and the resolution on recommendation of the committee on law was defeated. To Unionize Common Laborers. Two resolutions were reported on the question of organizing the common laborers foto large unions and both were recom mended to be sent to the executive council with dnstructions for that body to take up the matter and report at the next conven- tion Speeches were made by J. J. Forrister of Akron, O., and Rev. Sheldon A. Harrls of Dwight, Ill, in favor of the immediate adoption of one of the resolutions, and Prestdent W. 1. Muhon of the Street Rail- way Employes, W. B. Wilson of the Miners and Secretary Morrisou favored referring the matter to the executive council. The Iatter action was taken. The Pacific coast delegates fought among themselves over tho proposition to drop all unions afliated with state, national or international unfons unless they Join the American Federation of Labor. The meas- ure was particularly aimed at the Sa Francisco bullding trades, which is at odds with the Central Labor union of that city. The commlittee on law recommended that the matter be dropped, on the ground that puch a step would be unwise, and the con- wventlon adopted the resolution Object to Judie Baker, Tt was decided that hereafter the convention shall be held on the annual second JUNE courts | his | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. 19, Chill and Argentine Repabli sorting to Pro Ave He. ctive | Mensures | BUENOS AYR The relati Argentine ¥ Chil the liti- | 1 | | construction of & Ated and ra The Rive gie roads in the be o governmen % territ will Chilian answer to this n tomorrow.

The sentence followed a jury verdict find- ing the prisoner guilty on one of the seven- teen counts in the indictment against him. Laura Bullion, indicted jointly with Kilpat- | rick, was also found guilty on one count, but was not sentenced Judge Adams announced that he did not wigh to send the two prisoners to the same penitentiary and would defer sentence on the womun until he aecertained whether it wae within his jurisdiction to send her to some penitentiary outside Missourl. When the jury had been selected it was announced that Kilpatrick confessed that he was guilty, as charged in the twelfth count of the indictment, of passing bank- notes iseued by the secretary of the trens- ury, which had been altered, upon Max Barnett in the city of St. Louls It was also announced that the Bullion woman pleaded guilty as charged in the thirteenth count of the indictment of hav- ing in her possession altered bank notes. Thereupon the court ordered the jury to re- tire. It required less than fifteen minutes for the jury to agree upon a verdict The pair were arrested in this city more than a month ago on the suspicion that they had something to do with the hold-up of the Great Northern train,near Wagner, Mont., last July, when betwoeen $80,000 and $100,000 of unsigned Helena National bank notes was taken from the express car.

PATRICK ASKS DISCHARGE Alleges Charge of Murder Against Him M cuted with Diligence. s Not Been Prowe- NEW YORK, Dec 12.—Albert T. Patrick was brought before the supreme court today on a writ of habens corpus obtained by his counsel, Cantwell & Moore. The writ was obtained on the ground that the district attorney had failed to prosecute on the in- dictment handed down on April 25, charging Patrick with the murder of Willlam Marsh Rice, and that therefore the accused had been deprived of his constitutional right to a speedy trial Today's hearing was before Justice Beach Robert M. Moore asked for the discharge of the defendant. Ho sald Patrick had been confined in the Tombs since October 4, 1900, although no indictment was found until April 25, and that effort of defendant's counsel to secure a trial on the murder charges had been futile. Because of this, and In order not to jeopardize the defend- ant's interests in the graver case of murder, counsel had been compelled to secure nu- merous adjournments of the coutest of the | Stevenson, | chemist for examination 3, 1901 GUAKD WITH DOWIE AT BAR ervants Burronnds Faith He in Court Reom.

Stevenson told many interesting things about a certain mid nlght meeting with Dowle.

The main apprehen- sion s that cerebral meningitls may de- velop. Her skull already has been trephined. She is consclous at intervals, but so far has not talked rationally. A man's overcoat, bearing many stains on the front and sleeves, and a woman's apron were found this afternoon in a sewer about four blocks from the Dennis house. Both articles were submitted to the district to detect blood etains. The straps bearing the name of the cont maker are missing. The police have found blood stains on the floor of the balcony in front of the first floor of Mrs. Dennis' house and many blood stains on the sidewalk on Eleventh street around the corner from the scene of the attack. They are disinclined to con- nect the latter stains with the case, but say that the stains on the balcony indicate that the ome who committed the assault had stepped over the balcony ralling onto the front steps, instead of dropping to the parking below the balcony. Willlam Lansdale, a boy who passed the house at midnight Monday, has reported that he saw a man descending the front steps at that time and that his action at- tracted the boy's attention. The descrip- tion of the man given by the boy has been withheld by the police. The police are more Inclined to belleve that the aftack was made by a woman. It was pointed out that the window of the parlor adjoin- ing Mcs. Dennis' sleeping room, through which the marauder escaped, had to be opened from the inside A thorough examination was made by rof. Bird, the distinguished chemist, of an overcoat and apron ‘found In 4 sewer sev- oral blocks distant from the Dennis house but no blood stains were found on them, and the find is believed to be unimportant The condition of the assaulted woman continues critical and her conversation in- coherent.

The principal speakers today besides Sen ator 8pooner were Scnator Money and & ator Foraker. Mr. Money, while finding much in the bill to criticise, d as he found the fortunes of the proposed canal acrc s the lsthmus intertwined with the treaty he could not see his way clear to do anything that would prevent or en delay ratification. The particular features of the new treaty with which he found fault were those retaining the neutrality provision of the Clayton Bulwer treaty and specifying police control of the canal when built. He argued that this must inevitably limit and prescribe the power of the United States to control its property in time of war Senator Foraker maintained that pro- visions for the new treaty meet every ob jection made to the old Hay-Pauncefoto treaty and cover everything ewsenilal that was Included in the amendments made by the senate to that document. He regarded it as of the utmost importance that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be wiped out This result was effected by the convention under consideration. United States Amply Protected. He considered that all rights of the United States were amply protected under this treaty and that our control is absolute and complete and could not be questioned by Great Britaln or other power. Mr Foraker's speech dealt with the general effect of the treaty. He sald that after careful study of its provisions he was firmly convinced that it could be honestly supported by every patriotic eitizen. Senator Foraker was frequently inter rupted by Senator Bacon. In the course of one of these interruptions Mr. Bacon asked if ft was not true that under tho terms of | the treaty the construction of fortifications | by the United States would not be an act of war. Mr. Foraker replied in the negative, say- ing that that would not only not be an act of hostility, but to build fortifications in case of necessity was one of the inherent rights of the government. To this Mr Bacon responded that he, for one, would never bring bimself to vote for the railfi- cation of the treaty with the understand- ing that his government was to violate it. All Jei Mr. Foraker retorted sharply to the effect that his friend from Georgia could be mo more virtuous along the line of maintaining the country's honor in the matter of keep- ing Its agreements with other natigns than were other senators Mr. Bacon replied that he had not meant to assume @ virtuo that he did not possess, nor to imply that other senators were mot as Jealous of the country's good name as | himselt. Mr. Foraker then declared that he bad not meant to charge Mr. Bacon with {an unfalr assumption, but simply to eay that, 1ike all other senators supporting the treaty, he felt ho was glving his name to a transaction which would be honorably car- ried out between nations.
