At 2 meeting at the State Fair grounds at Wheeling dent Shaffer said in part: It has been said that this is not alone a fight of the Amalgamated Association. That is true. Even to-day in Wheeling 1 wae ap- proached by & committee of the Clothing Workers' Union end given sssurances that they were with us and would extend - both moral and financial aid. We realize also that the glass workers are with us, together with the trainmen, and of course the coal miners are with us. 1 want to say to the represen- tives of the va: trades that the Amalga- mated Association needs your moral and finan- clal assi nce. We do not ask you to dis- obey your own leaders or violate the laws of your organizations. 1 have received leiters from many subordinate lodges of other unione eaying. “We will stop working, too, if you say the word We don't want you to do that directions of your own leaders; laws are preserved Inviolate 1 believe the time is coming in this defen- sive movement when, if necessary, your lead- ers will unite with the Amalgamated Aseo- tion to preserve all labor organizations from tyranny of trusts.

Workmen began to-day to dismantle Chartries mill at Carnegle. The machinery will be taken to Leechburg, where the new mill will be located. Work on the Dewees-Wood property at McKeesport { has been suspended. The fact that the annual encampment of the Second Brig- held at Somerset, near Pittsburg, is re- garded as significant. The encampment will begin this week and will last until the latter part of next week. Within two days the State will be in a position to throw troops into Pittsburg, McKeesport and Newcastle within a few hours. The present situation, however, does not war- | rant the calling of State troops. EMPLOYES REFUSE TO STRIKE. | South Chicago Lodges Lose Charters Because of Their Action. CHICAGO, Aug. 14—There will be no strike of the employes at the steel mills in South Chicago. | to-night, when the men refused to re- | consider the action taken Saturday night, at which time they directed to stand by | their contracts with the mills and re- | fused to join the strikers. After they had declined to reconsider to-night, Assist- ant Secretary M. F. Tighe of the Amalga- mated Association, who came to Chicago with the intention of securing a revoca- tion of the action of Saturday night, if possible, declared that he revoked the mated Association in the South Chicago mills and declared the men outside of the | organization.. The men greeted his an- nouncement with laughter and cheers. Tighe arrived in the city yesterday and | spent to-day arranging for a second meeting of the two lodges of the Amal- samated Assoclation to be held this even- ing. The men gathered at the appointed hour, but there were so few of them in the hall that the end of the matter was a foregone conclusion. By far the greater number of members of the two lodges had gone to work Instead of coming to the meeting, and only a handful was pres- ent. Tighe made a long address to the men, the standpoint of the Amalgamated As- | sociation, and asking them to help the | men in the East by quitting the mills in South Chicago. Several speeches were made by the local members of the asso- | ciation in reply to Tighe, the general | trend being that the men considered them- | selves bound by contracts with their em- | ployers, and that they did not think that { it was their duty to turn their backs on | these contracts at the bidding of the of- ficers of the assoclation. At 11 o'clock a vote was taken on the question of, re- majority the men refused to reopen the question. Tighe announced the charters of both lodges revoked and the meeting dissolved. After leaving the meeting Tighe ex- pressed’ himself as greatly disappointed at the action taken this evening, and said that to-morrow he will go to the Bay at Joliet. He will repeat the programme of ‘to-night at those cities, explain the cause of the strike, and if the men should decline to reconsider their action in re- fusing to join the ranks of the strikers he will declare the charters of all their lodges forfeited and rule the men out of | the association. et | NOTICE SENT TO SCHWAB.

As soon as the Secretary reached the State Department to-day he had a con- ference with Assistant who informed him as to all the details of the situation as far as they are known in Washingjon. Everything that has been done, ingMgding the dispatch of war ves- ] to poth sides of the isthmus to pro- maintenance of communication by way of | the Panama Railroad, met with the Secre- s entire approval. Neither the State epartment nor Senor Pulido, Venezuelan Charge d'Affaires, has received any formation to-da Senor Herran, Colombian Charge d'Af- faires, left for New York to-day and will not return to Washington until late next week. He is satisfied that there will be | no developments in the meantime re- | quiring his presence in Washington. The authorities are anxious to know whether the departure of the Colombian Minister from Caracas has been followed by the withdrawal of the Venezuelan Minister from Bogota, for if it has been the inference would be that there had been a complete rupture of diplomatic re- lations between the two countries. | “Officials of the State Department are | not disposed to believe that this has oc- 1curred, but they are entirely without | | news of recent date from Bogota, and un- til something is received from there con- | siderable. anxiety will be felt. There has been unexpected delay in getting naval vessels down to the isth- mus, but the Towa is now on her way on the Pacific side and the Machias is be- | ing hurried down on the Atlantic, In the meantime it is reported that the French cruiser Souchet has arrived at Colon. On account of the French interest |in the Panama canal it is thought to be | quite natural that the French should send | a warship there at this time. The au- | thorities do not anticipate any friction be- | | tween the commander of the Souchet and the American naval officers upon the ar- rival of the latter at Colon. It is not ex- pected that the Souchet will land any men or interfere in any way unless the property of the Panama Canal Company other French interests should be actu- ly threatened. The French are not in a position to act as freely as the Americans, as France {s not called upon by treaty stipulations to maintain_communication on the isthmus as is the United States. It is believed here that pending the arrival of the Machias the presence of the Souchet will have a good influence. ISTEMUS TRAFFIC KEPT CLEAR. Consul Canal Talks of the Revolution in Colombia. Consul Escipion Canal, representing the | Goverument of Colombia at this port, spoke freely yesterday to a Call reporter concerning conditions In his country. His first statement in a long interview was of especial interest to the people of the Pacific Coast. “There is no danger that the rou across the isthmus will be closed. _Bus:: ness between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States will move over the line of the Panama road. ‘When the French people secured the right to con- struct a rallroad line it was stipulated that the United Statés should have the right to keep the line open. Since then the road has passed into the possession of an American company.” Speaking of business conditions gen- erally he said that of course there is dis- turbance of the ordinary volume of trade. Exchange is high. The Government has issued paper money to the amount of $109,- 000,000 Senor Canal did not anticipate that the troubles of Colombia would be of long duration. “The Government of Colombia has 50.000 men under arms and can _put 100,000 in the fleld in a few weeks. If it should be- come necessary there are 200,000 men who will do military duty. The army has good officers. The Minister of War, Ramon Gonzales Valencia, is very able. If we have to fight Venezuela I am confident that we will be able to assert our superi- ority and that we will triumph. In Colom- bia the population is 5,000,000, or about double the population of Venezuela. Al- though there is very little gold or silver money in circulation in Colombia and the exchange on gold is very high, we have ample resources which will enable us to work back to a gold and silver basfs. The Government recelves $2,000.000 per annum from a syndicate for certain mines. The port revenues are very large. In a few vears of peace Colombia would easily ful. fill the prediction made by an American Minister, that it will be the greatest of the countries in South America: “I have personally no knowledge of the happenings of the past few days in Colom- bia. The cable is broken. Presumably the press dispatches from Washington con- tain waat reliable news is available re- garding the present strained relations be- tect American interests and to secure the | NEW PROJECT WROUSES LORDS Egglish Peers Discuss " a Bill for Fast Steamers. e Liners Will Cross Atlantic in Four and a Half Days. —_—— LONDON, Aug. 14.—The House of Lords took an unusual step this morning in sus- pending the sessional order with the ob- Ject of passing on its second readirg the bill granting special powers to build a pier and other works at Berehaven, in Bantry Bay, Ireland, in connection with the pro- posed steamship line from Berehaven to the United States, by which it is hoped the voyage will be accomplished in four and one-half days. The bill had already passed the House of Commons. Lord James of Hereford remarked that such great pubic interests were concerned that the Goverrment desired to pass the bill at the present session. He added that the promoters desired to construct har- bor works, with the object of inaugurating a line of steamers to the United States. The steamers will be built in Great Brit- ain and will accomplish the voyage in four and one-half days. The assent of the Admiralty officials, who are constructing naval works at Berehaven, had been given for the building of the proposed works on the foreshore. The harbor bill is the work of an Irish electric raflway company, promoted by S. G. Fraser, an engineer of Dublin. The de- signs appear in the initial stages. Nego- tiations have been announced for the be- ginning of the work. It is understood some American capital has been guaran- teed in connection with the steamship ser- vice. It is also understood that the entetr- prise includes an express line across Southern Ireland and a channel ferry con- necting directly with the Great Western Railroad for London. The cost of the Berehaven harbor works and the raflroad ‘will be £900,000. In the House of Commons to-day dur- ing the discussion of the naval works bill Prettyman (Conservative) advanced as an argument in favor of the expenditure for coaling facilities the recent report of the United States Bureau of Equipment, say- ing Great Britain could not afford to be behind the United States in this matter. The bill asks for a total of £27,500,000 to increase the docking accommodations of the coal depots and reserves of ammuni- tion. The construction of the Malta breakwater, which will cost £1,000,000, and railroads connecting the South Wales coal fields with home ports and works, is al- ready in progress. L tween Colombia and Venezuela. During our war that has been in progress the last two years, large bodles of Venezuelans have taken part against the Government of Colombia. Some of these bodies have included 3000 men. They have espoused the cause of the liberals. The claim of the liberals is that the church party in Colombia is narrow and oppressive. That is not the truih power the churc’i party, although it has been compelled to meet with the uprising of the liberals, has advanced the interests of the country, has improved its cradit and there is an excellent prospect of de- velopment with the coming of peace. This is the belief and understanding of the principal men of Colombia. During the Secretary Adee, | war there have been large battles. We 3 n Co- | have lost not less than 40,000 men by bal- ombia and Venezuela as the result of the | tle and by diseases incident to military duty. ‘‘President Sanclemente is not transact- ng the business of the Government of Colombia. He is quite old, and the active duties of the Presidential office are in the handq of Vice ‘President. Jose Manuel Marroquin. You must excuse me from discussing our relations with any Euro- pean Government in case of interference. I cannot consistently talk about that. There is no question, however, regarding the friendly feelings that the people of Colombia entertain toward the Govern- ment of the United States. When the in-| United States recently had trouble with Venezuela about the asphalt deposits and the United States Minister was withdrawn by request the people of Colombia, seeing « lenient tieatment on the part of the nited States, perceived that this great people do not have any tendency that is hostile to the other American_republics. There is no question in our minds that the United States is friendly, and this coun- try, if it acts at all, will ake the position of our protector. ‘The sentiment of our | people toward the United States has been aptly expressed by Senor Carlos Martinez Silva, our Minister at Washington, when he said: I have been charged to employ all means within my reach to strengthen and draw closer the ties of mutual understanding and harmony that biad our respective countries. Colombl. from the dawn of its independent existence, h: cultivated with colicitous care the friendship of the T'nited States, seeing in this great peo- ple political models to imitate, lessons in re- publidanism and democracy to learn, examples to follow and hoves to realize. These moral | bonds shall be further strengthened when the strong arm, already destined by Providence, sunders the itshmian chain that seems to unite but in reality separates by hundreds of miles two vast portions of the American Continent. Minister Silva was formerly the Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs in Colombia. The Venezuelan Consul to San Fran- cisco, Enrique de Laveaga, is in Mexico, and there is no representative of the Ven- ezuelan Government in this city. WILL CALL AT PANAMA. H. M. S. Icarus Leaves Victoria Ahead of Schedule Time: VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 14—Her com- mission at this station having about ex- pired her Majesty’s ship Icarus leaves on Friday morning on her way to England. She is starting a little ahead of the time formerly scheduled, as the Admiralty de- sires her to call at Panama and remain there for a time at least if the troubles of the turbulent section are not settled before her arrival. Her crew are now busy.getting the stores and coal on board. Her ajesty’'s ship Phaeton, now in southern” waters, will return north upon the arrival of the Icarus. A number of time men from the flagship now at Comox arrived to-day by the torpedo-boat de- stroyer Sparrowhawk to go home on the Icarus. INSANITY OF WIFE PERMITS HIS DIVORCE Millionaire magfer_Secuns a Separa- tion Under a New Florida Statute. MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 14.—Henry M. Flag- ler, the multi-millionaire oil magnate, has secured a divorce under the new Florida statute, which provides that insanity of four years' standing is sufficient ground for a decree. The case was heard in chambers by Judge Minor S. Jones of the Circuit Court. Former Governor Fleming, Mrs. Flagler's guardian ad litem, repre- sented the defendant, but practically there was no defense. Flagler is 72 years old.

Continued From Page One. Boyd's death has cast gloom over the Mount Tamalpals Military Academy. which cpened to-day. He had been pro- moted to first lieutenant and would have assumed that rank to-day had he lived. Despite his youth he was a fine horseman, his hands and the passengers to alight. There were sixteen passengers in all— | twelve on the first or regular stage and | four on the extra. The robber ordered | them to form fn line. the twelve of the first stage on the right side and-the four extra passengers on the left. “Come forward one at a time and shell out,” demanded the outlaw, laying aside his rifie and_producing an old-fashioned horse pistol. With hands straight up over- head the passengers, one by one in turn, advanced and submitted to a thorough searching. The robber was in no apparent hurry, and coolly delved into his victims’ pockets with one hand whenever he sus- pected they had not given over all the | money and valuables they carried. s After relieving the sixteen travelers of ail their wealth the robber requested Palmer to throw off the Wells-Fargo ex- press box and the mail pouches. When this was donehhe asked Driver Conner T his express box. 72 fo“Ain't ggt any,” replied the driver. “I'm only extra.” “Well, you've been driving Sretty regu- lar lately,” sald the robber, displaying a knowledge of the running of the stages. The highwayman then allowed both stages to proceed on their way up the mountain. The hoid-up occurred near what is known as Greenlee's place. It was an ideal spot for the purpose, the road wind- ing around a sharp projection of thel mountain and being on a steep up-grade. Standing twenty-five feet ahead of the front of the horses the robber occupied a commanding position overlooking both stages and not a move of the passengers escaped his eye. Among the passengers were five or six women. e robber | showed no discrimination of sex in his work and collected toll from all alike. It is estimated that he obtained about $400 in cash, besides several articles of jew- elry. The express box, while quite heavy, contained little money, it is said. About this time every month money to pay the employes of the Copper King mines is sent up by stage. It is said here {hat this money did not go up to-day. 'To get this gold was_evidently the motive of the ro%bery. The stage was held up just a year ago near this place. At that the commission and appropriating $5000 for its expenses was passed on the 1st day of May, the last day of the session of the Hawaiian Congress, according to our com- putation, though . the session ended on April 30, according to Governor Dole. It was only by using the joint agreement concerning the hold-over Senatorships as 2 club that we had the tax commission | bill passed at all, and as soon as it was passed it was put in the hands of the At- torney General that its legality might be | tested and that it might be defeated if possible. “The present system of taxatlon is based on real estate and improved property and every sugar plantation is assessed on its actual cash value. There is also an in- come tax of 2 per cent on all incomes of over $1000. This system needs much re- modeling and many amendments and it is for the purpose of inaugurating these reforms that the commission has been created. ““We are a territory of the United States and we want a regular American terri- | torial form of government. We don't want all the patronage that comes with official position and the authority to distribute | several mitllons of dollars to be controiled | by a few people who use it to further their | own ends. We want a regular territorial | county government, which will induce | white people to come and settle among | | | us with the knowledge that they will be protected in their liberties and thelr | rights. While T am East I will do all I | possibly can to obtain this very much de- sired condition of affalrs for the Hawaiian Islands, in whose prosperity I am most deeply interested.” From other sources it was learned tbat the dispute over the date ending the sixty- day session of the Hawallan Legislature arose over the refusal of Governor Dol to consider Washington's birthday a legal holiday. Dole contended it was not a bol- iday inasmuch as it had never been so created by Congress. The Home Rule party argued thal it was a holiday | whether Congress had so_declared it to be or not. Those opposed to Dole con- | tended that the unanimous will of the American people had made it a holiday. | second in importance only to the Fourth | ALY HONORS FAMDUS CAISP Funeral of the Dead Statesman in Streets of Naples. Representatives of Monarchs March Behind the Coffin. NAPLES, Aug. 14.—The funeral of Sig- nor Crispl to-day was an imposing one. Cordons of troops lined the route, whicr was through the principal streets, and presented arms as the funeral car passed. The car was drawn by eight black horses with sable trappings. The cords of the pall were held by the Mayors of Rome, Naples, Palermo and Ribera, Sieily, Crispf's birthplace: the Vice President of the Chamber of Depu- tles and other state officials. A caisson draped with flags was followed by cars piled high with floral tributes. The procession included King Vietor Emmanuel's ald de eamp, representing the King; the German Consul, represent- ing Emperor William; Senators, Deputies, Ministers, generals, admirals, patriotic so- cieties, Garibaldian veterans and military and naval detachments. Immense crowdse occupled the streets, balconies and wi dows. All present uncovered as the coffin passed. At the arsenal the remains were taken on board the cruiser Varez, where there was a short service, minute guns beinz fired in the meanwhile. The Varez will sail at midnight, escorted by the armored cruiser Marco Polo and El Ettoire, con- veying the family of Signor Crispi and the Government representatives. MONTAGUE IS NAMED BY VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS Present Attorney General of the State Selected to Run for the Governorship. NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 4.—The Demo- cratic State Convention to-day nominated A. J. Montague, present Attorney Gen- eral of Virginia, for Governor. Montague was nominated by acclamation, the only other candidate, Congressman Claude A. Swanson, having withdrawn from the race to-day. State Senator Barksdale was the temporary chairman of the conven- tion and Carter Glass of Lynchburg per- manent chairman. After an hour of uproar and disorder, which required the services of the ser- geant at arms and some police officers to quell, the convention nominated Joseph E. Willard for Lieutenant Governor over Dr. George W. Lecato, the candidate of tha tidewater section. The convention ad-y journed after midnight amid great confu- sion, without having begun the contest for Attorney General and without having received the report of the committee on resolutions. These matters will be taken up to-morrow. The platform of the party, while not yet presented, will embrace 'an _anti-trust plank, a plank favoring the fellow ser- vants’ or employers’ lability bill and a statement in regard to general primaries for the election of United States Senators. So far as known, there will be no men- tion of W. J. Bryan or free silver in the platform. The most notable incident of the day was the lack of applause when R. H. Pollard of Richmond said: “Free siiver is a dead fssue. It met its Gettys- burg in 189 and its Waterloo in 1900.” p RN a4 OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Made in the Postoffice Ser- vice and Some New Pensions Granted.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14—The City Council in extra session to-day appropri- ated $33.250 for the purchase of 307 acres of land in Tejunga Pa at the headwat- ers of Los Angeles River. Negotiations | have been quietly in progress for the past month through Attorneys Lee and Scott | The utmost secrecy was maintained, for fear of injunction proceedings, and to- day the deal was consummated as soon as the purchase money was available, so that the city’s title to the land is now be- yond question. The acquisition of this property is considered a_master stroke, as the land Is so situated that practically the entire butflow, surface and subterra- nean, of Los Angeles River can be divert- ly anything was obtained. e oys Wi went up o road earlier in the day report having seen two men lurking around the scene of the hold-up. Their description of the smaller man cor- responds very closely with that given by Driver Palmer of the robber. It is sup- posed the other man, who was described as “tall and dark,” lay In ambush while his companion performed the work. This would appear to account for the robber’s coolness and deliberation. Dr. Robert Powers of Calistoga was one of the passengers. The names of the oth- ers are unknown, as they arrived here on the morning train from San Francisco and left almost immediately on the stage for different resorts in Lake County. The news of the hold-up was telephoned to the local police authorities from Toll Gate, one and a half miles beyond the scene of the robbery. City Marshal Nash left at once for the Greenlee place, and a couple of hours later bloodhounds were put on_the trail. Sheriff Dunlap came up from Napa late this afternoon and is hot on the robber’s trail with a large posse. The highwayman is described by the stage drivers as of dark complexion, five feet eight inches in height, weighing about 150 pounds and wearing a dark slouch hat, linen duster-and heavy work- I % late hour to-night nothing had been found except a half empty mail pouch. This was found in a canyon about a half mile down the road. It had been rifled, but quite a bit of mail was left. SHOOTS ONE OF THE HORSES. Masked Robber Holds Up Stage and Passengers Take to Woods. GLENNS FALLS, N. Y., Aug. 14—News was received here to-night that the Blue robber about noon to-day at North River. The stage which was stopped connected with a-train which reaches North Creek, Warren County, a station on the Adiron- dacks and Hudson Rallroad, about 1:20 o'clock a. m. When it left the station to- day it contained seven men and one woman, besides a quantity of express and mail-matter for Blue Mountain Lake. When the stage was one and a halft miles north of Dunlap’'s Hotel, a® North River, a masked robber suddenly ap- peared. His first move was to shoot one of the horses. He then ordered the pas- sengers to hold up their hands and alight. Six of the men immediately took to the woods, the remaining man staying with his wife, who was relieved of $20. but the robber failed to find a larger sum in an- other pocket. The highwayman then pro- ceeded to rifie the mail bags and plunder the express packages, taking everything of value.
