LONDON, Sept. 5.—The Trades Union Congress to-day rejected a resolution in- troduced by the General Union of Weav- ers to the effect that “the time had now arrived when In the economic interests of women the franchise should be extended to them on the same plane as it was or may be to men.” A naturalization resolution, presen.‘erl by the Manchester Jewish Tailors’ Union, was adopted. It asks for a reduction of the naturalization fee so that it may bAe within the reach of every workman who is 2 member of a ynion and has been for a period of five yefrs. The congress also adopted a motion fa- voring the payment of members of Par- liament in order to allow all sections of the community to be adequately repre- sented in the House of Commons. It was also voted that the Parliamentary com- mittee be instructed to introduce a bill in the House of Commons topreventany chil- dren under 15 years of age being employed in any textile or non-textile factories. The Cigar-makers’ Mutual Association introduced a resolution aimed agalnst “capitalistic combines,” which was unani- mously adopted. It was as follows: “That, in the opinion of this congress, the growth of gigantic capitalistic trusts, with their enormous power of controlling groduction, is injurious to the advance- ment of the classes, as by such combina- tion the prices of commodities are raised, the standard of comfort of the people can be reduced, the workmen's freedom en- dn:gered and national prosperity men- aced.” = s contefided that the time ha’{ih::r!lg:adk:'rhen, if the state did not con- trol the trusts the latter would control the state, and that the only permanent solution of the difficulty rested in national ownership and control of these monopo- es.

N., the expert detailed by the Navy Department to observe the installation and efficiency of the oil fuel system as fitted to the Oceanic Steamship Company’'s steamer Mariposa, has been received at the Navy Department. The report contains matter of great value to the shipping and naval world, and sets out some facts relative to the use of oil as fuel dhich hayve been earnestly sought from the Navy Depart- ment by steamship men and oil produc- ers. Some of these facts follow: “The Mariposa’s gross displacement was 3160 tons and her average run 3¢ knots a day and a mean speed of 13.58 knots an hour, with 278 barrels of ol per day. This was 50 per cent less in weight than would be required of coal, for one and a half pounds of oil sufficed to pro- duce a horsepower. An important ad- vantage in the ail fuel was the reduction of the engine-room force from thirty-six to twenty men. The ship used only twelve of her ecighteen furnaces, burning crude toil in two burners in each furnace by means of an air compressor of a capacity of 1000 cubic feet per minute at thirty pounds pressure. All of the burners were not used except at short intervals. ‘Every precaution was-taken to insure safety by ventilating the oll tanks and otherwise. The entire refuse after a run of 3438 miles from San Franéisco to Ta- hiti barely filled two ash buckets and the flames did not affect the boilers unfavor- ably. Difficulties experienced were con- fined to the choking of the strainer, which can be obviated by duplicating those parts and in the regulation of the sup- ply of oll to the feeders. When the air compressor needed overhauling, in one or two instances, recourse was had to a a steam spray, which hi STy Y, wisely had been pro- Lieutenant Winchell says that if fewer men are needed in the fireroom with ofl, it 1s necessary to secure men of higher intelligence with technical aptitude and nerve closely to watch the furnaces. The ‘| essentials are that there should be a con- stant alr pressure for atomizing, that pro- vision shall be made to maintain a reg- ular temperature of the oil and that the oll strainers be watched steadlly. Lieutenant Winchell says that the Mar- iposa’s trip was remarkable in many re- szecu. and was not only a tribute to the skill of the Pacific mechanics but to the enterprise of the company which first in- stalled the ofl burners in lieu of coal. —_— RODRIGUEZ ACQUITTED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES He Was Accused of Preventing a Witness From Testifying in Felony Case. The trial of Sinnon Rodriguez of Wat- sonville, charged with preventing and dis- suading a witness from testifying in a felony case against his son, took place be- fore a jury in Judge Cabaniss’ court yes- terday afternoon and after five minutes’ deliberation a verdict of not guilty was returned. The defendant was represented by Attorney Bergerot. The witnesses for the prosecution were Mrs. Mattle Peck, Hazel Kelly, her daughter, and Detective T. J. Bailey and their evidence was practically the same as in the cases of Attorney Hugo K. Asher and Mrs. Margaret Newman, who were also tried for the same offense before a jury and acquitted. Asher and the de- fendant testified for the defense, each Boll(lvely denying that any money had een given Mrs. Peck or any Jnducement offered her to take her daughter out of the city. : D et Old Woman Charges Fraud.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Command- er Henry McCrea's vigorous handling of the perplexing situation in Hayti, due to the attempt the revolutionary Ad- miral Killick to blockade the entire coast with a single gunboat of the Insurgent government, is evident in a report just made public by the State Department. In the minds of the officlals in Washington Commander McCrea, who, with the gun- boat Machias, met with marked success in protecting foreign interests during the revolution on the isthmus, has agaln proved himself an adept at preventing these belligerent outbursts from injuring foreign commerce. In Hayti he has represented and-pro- tected with a firm hand almost all com- merce except that of Haytl itself. He states that after sending notice to the revolutionary Admiral Kiliick that he was charged with the protection of British, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Rus- sian and Cuban interests as well as those of the United States, that bombardment of the city would be permitted only with due notice, and that interference with commerce by interruption of telegraph cables or stoppage of steamers would not be permitted. He was informed by Ad- miral Killick that a new government with General Firmin as President had been formed at Gonaives and that a blockade of Cape Haytien had been declared. Fol- lowing that Commander McCrea received Consuls aboard the Machias. They made formal protest against the blockade. On August 11, an American schooner having made Cape Haytien, Commander McCrea considered the blockade inef- fective. Two days later Commander Me- Crea went with the Machias to Cagnette #nd sent a very pointed note to Admiral Killick. It saia: “I came to ascertain your whereabouts, and to, if possible, deliver to you the de- cision of my Government regarding your roposal to blockade Cape Haytlen. It s considered not effective even as a de facto blockade, 3nd I am here to tell you that the United States denies your right to visit or search any American or other foreign vessel attempting entrance to the harbor of Cape Haytien. Inclosed is a protest signed by all the Consuls at Cape Haytien, which I promised to deliver.” Admiral Killick promptly admitted the ineffectiveness of the_ blockade: C. HAYTIEN, Hayti, Sept. 5—The troops of General Alexis Nord, War Min- ister of the Provisional Government, were defeated yesterday and the day before near Limbe. The opposing forces are sald to have lost heavily. General Es- mangard, who actually commanded the Government forces engaged, was cap- tured by the revolutionists, and a portion of the Government artillery fell into the hands of the Artibonite forces. After the cdefeat of his troops General Nord re- turned to Cape Haytlen with his staff. The troops of the Provisional Government are demoralized.

DWDS CHEER FOR PRESIDENT Chief Executive Is Con- gratulated on His Escape. PR Roosevelt Proceeds to the South to Attend a Convention. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Smilingly bow- ing in acknowledgment of the enthusiasm and prolonged cheering of an assemblage that fairly crowded the Baltimore and Ohio station here, President Roosevelt to- night began his Southern tour, with Chat- tanooga, Tenn., as the objective point. The President was in the city exactly one hour and a half. He arrived over the Pennsylvania rcad at 6:12 o’clock this evening on a special train of two cars, made up at Philadelphia this afternoon during the brief stop there en route from Oyster Bay. Secretary of the Interior Hitcheock, Chief Wilkie of the Secret Ser- vice, Assistant Secretary to the Presi- dent Kearns and a number of White House attaches met him at the station, The President appeared a little disfig- ured as the result of the Pittsfleld acci- dent, but apparently had quite recovered from the shock. He stopped to shake hands with those who pressed about him to congratulate him on his escape. ‘‘Poor Craig,” he frequently sald, in expressing his thanks to his well-wishers. Through a cordon of police the Presi- dent was escorted to carriages in waiting and was quickly driyen to the Baltimore and Ohio station. Secretary Hitchcock, Commander Cowles, the President’s broth- er-in-law, and Segretary Cortelyou rode in his carriage. The special train of seven handsomely equipped coaches was in readiness and the esident immedi- ately entered his carriage. He spent most of the time between then and his departure in conversation with Clvil Ser- vice Commissioner Garfield and with oth- ers who entered the car to meet him. To a number he described the accident at Pittsfleld. He referred to an incident in the battle of San Juan, when gunshots struck down two men close beside him. He said he felt in normal condition again. The train pulled out at 7:30 o'clock, the President taking dinner soon after the departure. The personnel of the Presi- dent’s party is the same as that on his New England trip. hd The_Southern trip will be a somewhat varied one and no stops will be made at points other than these announced in the itinerary already published, namely, ‘Wheeling, W. Va., Chattanooga, Knox- ville, Tenn., and Asheville, C. The immediate object of the President is to attend the convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. The train will reach Wheeling to-morrow morning at 2:30 and will arrive at Chattanooga the same hour Sunday morning. Sunday will be spent at Chattanooga. The party will visit the battle-grounds during the day and the President will attend church in the evening., He will attend the firemen’s convention Monday morning. The Presi- dent and party will reach Washington on the return trip next Wedhesday morning and will leave half an hour later for Jer- sey City, en route to Oyster Bay.

Sick and nervous head.ches are amongst the worst ills of life. The man or woman who is subject to headache at irregular intervals goes through life bear- ing a load of misery and wretchedness that is terrible to think of. Headaches as a rule result from a dis- ordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily fatigue and disordered ddgestion are ex- citing causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nesvous system is weakened and headaches result. If the Nver is sluggish, the kidneys fnac- tive and digestion deranged headaches invariably follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous system must be strengthened and vitalized. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness and sleeplessness are perma- nently cured by FPaine’s Celery Com- ipound: it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry West~ rick, St. Clair, Mich., tells of her release from suffering as follows: “I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have & bad spell of sick headache, but since 1 began using Paine's Celery Compound my dyspepsia is gone and I do not have any more headaches.
