the eastern atatea have experienced since
the memorable anowstorm of 1KX8, disar

lines and piled several wrecks along the
ooaat. A downpour of rain and heavy

to the destructive force of the gale. Die
telephone and telegraph poles, born down
by the weight of tnuw and Ice-encrusted
wires, gave way beforo the sweep of the
wind, and whole sections were cut Oil.
Both the telegraph companies and the tele
phone companies with long distance wires
today reported their fluids of operation re
stricted to the territory bounded on the
est by Philadelphia, on the east by Bos
ton and on the north by Ncwburgh, N. Y.
The big brokerage concerns In Wall street,
many of which, under normal conditions,
operate thousands of miles of wire, today
found themselves practically helpless. The
exchanges were no more fortunate and the
only quotations received from Chicago and
New Orleans were the market reports of
the Associated Press. These quotations
brought over the Associated Press wires
were the only figures obtained In this city
from the cotton and grain centers of the
south and weat.
By an elaborate system of relays and the
.use of both telephone and telegraph wires
the Associated Press succeeded in bridging
the path between east and west cut by the
storm and reached all poLita west, north
and east with the exception of a small
section In the vicinity of Albany. There
the damage from the snow and wind
seemed beyond immediate repair, and with
the exception of trains there waa no com
munication with that section during the
The general breaking down of wires was
almost entirely responsible for trouble on
the railroads. The movements of trains
could not be reported and delays extending
:into hours in many cases were reported.
That no more disasters at sea resulted
from the- gale probably was due to the
early warning of the approaching hurricane
sent out by the weather bureau. Bulletins
sent out Saturday afternoon told of the
gale that would sweep the couat and cau
tioned all mariners against leaving port.
First Wire Through.
, Communication with the west, after hav
, Ing been cut off for many hours by Sun
day's storm, was re-established soon after
8 o'clock this morning by the Associated
Press. This was accomplished through a
telephone wire between Baltimore and Chi
cago. Morse telegraph instruments dis
placed the telephonic devices and restricted
service was at once begun. It developed
that Washington had been in almost con
stant communication with the west during
the night, and news sent by the Associated
Press from lta New York office to Boaton,
thence by way of Portland, Me., and the
Canadian telegraph lines to Chicago and
the west, was relayed back to points east
of Chicago as far aa Washington.
The wire irvk-e b.tweeu Bultlmor and
Washington was still completely out of
service at 5 o'clock this morning, poles and
wires having been carried down in many
placea by the great weight of snow -and
the Intense force exerted by the furious
gale.
' Telegraph Lines Interrupted.
New England telegraphic circuits and
those to Philadelphia and Baltimore wore
the only ones In working order. The dam
age to wire Is the most serious which the
telegraph companies have faced In many
years. It spreud over a wide area and
caused a great rush to get out repair
gang, who were hurriedly started In the
night by special trains over all the rail
road lines north, west and south. Little
could be accomplished, however, until day
light. The wires were found to toe down
completely north, east and west ot . Al
bany and north of Poughkeepale on the
New York Central.
There was but one wire working on this
route, and that extended only to Pough
keepale. On the Erie line, over which
many circuits to Chicago are operated, loO
poles were knocked down near Port Jer
Vls, N. Y. 'No wirca were left south of
Baltimore nor between Philadelphia and
Ifarrlsburg. Much trouble i feared south
of Washington, where the storm first ap-
eared In the latter city several Inches
tf snow fell. The atorm began at 11
o'elawk a. m , with u drizzling rain, which
MS1 turned Into heavy, wet snow.
Owing to tho width of the storm's path
much delay to railway traffic la antici
pated, as the telegraph largely controls the
movement of trains.
Tho private wlrea of almost every stock

PALLIUM GIVEN TO GLENNON
At Consistory Pope Presents to Mon
slgnor Kennedy Mark of Office
for Archbishop.
ROME, Nov. 14. The festlv!tle In honor
of the Jubilee of the Immaculite Con -cp-tion
may be said to have begun today
with the holding of a brilliant consis ory,
which was especially Interesting as the
pope lately had been Indlsn. ccd and many
persons wished to be assured of hia re
covery. All the cardinals living In Rome,
numbering about twenty-five, gathered In
the hall of the consistory at the Vatican
half an hour before the ceremony, taking
their places In three groups cardinal
bishops, cardinal priests and catdlnal dta
cons making one of those Impo-dng pic
tures only to be seen at the apostolic pal
ace. The I'nlted States was represented at
the consistory by Mgr. Kennedy, rector of
the American college here, and Mgr. Seton.
titular archbishop of Hellpolis, cf Je.sy
City, N. J. Mgr. Kennedy, at the private
consistory, received the pallium for Arch
bishop Olennon of St. Louis.
The pallium for Archbishop Moeller of
Cincinnati was received In the secret con
sistory by Father Haver, private secretary
of Cardinal Ootti, prefect of the propa
ganda, and the pallium for Archbishop
Messmor of Milwaukee was received by
Mgr. Jaquet.
In th secret consistory the pope deliv
ered an allocution, recalling the origin of
the coirjordat end the reasons which in
duced Tope Plus VII to conclude It with
Napoleon, especially referring to the pro
visions made for the appointment of bish
ops, the budget of the ministry of public
ministry, which was regulated by what
was practically a contract, and Anally the
free extrclse of Catholic worship. He
added llat the so-called "organic articles"
added 1802 by Napoleon hud never been
recognllied by the holy Bee either as law
or as Ming part of the concordat; there
fore tha pontiff deplored the fact that the
present government of the French republic
had, under various pretexts, charged the
holy see with not having observed the
concordat, adding that the church had
never In the case of any country infringed
an agreement made. The pope concluded
with seylng that the French government
had broken the fundamental conditions of
the cowordoat, a proceeding which was not
only Is violation of the concordat, but
which was also opposed to divine and na
tural law.
The pope complained of the Impossibility,
due to the existing state of affairs, of ap
pointing bishops to the vacant sees In
France, but expressed the hope that an
understanding would be reached.
The majority of the cardinals present
considered the allocution rather mild and
remarked that the pope omitted the part
upon Vhich he previously had consulted
several of the cardinals, in which he was
to have appealed to the people of France
and to have urged to be loyal to the
church and use their rights as citizens to
prevent the government from persecuting
religion.
The pontiff entered the hall of the con
sistory surrounded by hia Immediate en
tourage, flanked by the noble and Swiss
guards and followed by the papal court.
He seated himself on the throne and those
present advanced to pay their homage,
after which the pope delivered a prayer to
the Holy Ghost. Following this all ex
cept the cardinals left the hall, as the con
sistory was secret. The pope and cardi
nals then proceeded to proclaim the arch
bishops, bishops, etc., as already appointed
by brief, which was a mere form and the
pope delivered his allocution.
Immediately after the secret consistory,
the popo held a semi-public consistory,
preliminary to the ceremony of the canoni
sation Of the blessed alessandro saull, tho
bamaolte and blessed gerardo mailla, the
rcdemptlonlst which takes place next
month.
All agree that outside of the fact that
the pope has a somewhat careworn ex
pression, the pope, notwithstanding his re
cent attack of gout, seems to be In good
health.

LABOR FEDERATION OPENS
First Session of the Annul Cenventlon ii
Held at San Francisco.
PRESIDENT GOMPERS READS HIS SPEECH
Status of the Delegate of the Chicago
Federation of Labor la Referred
to the Committee on
Credentials.
SAN I KANCISCO, Nov. 14-The Amer
ican Federation of Labor met today in
Lyric hall In its twenty-fourth annual con
vention. The delegates from every part of
the United States and representatives from
Porto Rico, Englund and Canada were
present. The hall was beautifully decorated
in the national colors, delegates being
seated in sections according to the states
they represented. e
During the morning hours local and vis
iting delegates assembled at the headquar
ters of the officers of the convention and
at 10 o'clock, headed by a band, they
marched through the principal streets of
the city and to the convention hall.
The entire time of the morning session
was taken up with the delivery and reply
of speeches of welcome. Mayor Schmlts
extended to the delegates the freedom of
the city and on behalf of the labor organi
zations of the state of California, J. O.
Walsh, president of the San Francisco
labor council and P. H. McCarthy, presi
dent of the State Building Tradea council,
extended a welcome.
The only business transacted during the
morning session, was the reading of an ac
ceptance of the report of the committee on
credentials.
Before the question of accepting the re
port was put to a vote William O. Schardt,
president of the Chicago Federation of
Labor, arose and called the attention of
the delegates to the fact that he had been
given no standing by the committee. This
threatened for a time to bring before the
convention the question of trade autonomy
versus Industrial Issues.
The Chicago federation was recently sus
pended from the American federation be
cause It refused to comply with the de
mand that the Steam Fitters' Chicago
union be placed under the Jurisdiction of
the United Plumbers' association. Before
this question could be voted upon the mat
ter was temporarily disposed of by refer
ring Mr. Schradt's standing to the commit
tee. President Gomprri' Report.
The afternoon session was opened with
the reading by President Samuel Qompers
of his annual address. During the delivery
the speaker was frequently Interrupted by
bursts of applause. He said:
From October 1, 1M, to September 3,
1904, we issued from the American Fed
eration of Labor the following charters:
International unions 11
Stato federations 6
Central Labor unions 99
Local trade unions and federal labor
unions 32S
Total 44;i
Eight of these International unions were
organized by us from formerly affiliated
chartered local unions during the past
year. A number of International unions
have become amalgamated with other in
ternational unions kindred to their trade.
At the end of 'Ui n-n-al year, September
3J, 1904, there were affiliated to the Amer
ican Federation of Labor! -
International unions 120
State federations 32
Central labor unions 669
Local trade unions and federal labor
unions 1,271
Total 1,992
The average membership of our affiliated
Unions upon which per capita tax has been
paid to the Amerlcun Federation of Labor
for tiie year ending September 30. 18o4, Is
1,678,000.
The average membership of our affiliated
unions upon which per capita tax was paid
to the American Federation of Iabor for
the year ending September 30, 1903, was
l,4B5.8flO.
During the past year some strikes oc
curred, and among them some were lost;
that is, they were not crowned with the
immediate success for which they were
Inaugurated. And it is not only Just, but
timely, to say that each of these failed
of its object by reason of the fart that th
men did not prollt by the experience of
others and take time by the forelock. In
times of Industrial tranquillity nnd while
they were employed, they failed to con
tribute anything like commensurate dues
In their unions, nnd to provide themselves
with the ammunition of industrial context.
good treasury. There was not one strike
which failed during the entire year but
which the leaders and management were
cnnHdent could and would have been
crowned with victory if hut i good, round
sum had been In the treasuries of their
organizations.
Of course, no one pretends or believes
that all strikes can he won, but that
greater victories will be won and fewer
defeats will occur when our unions have
ncnmnulated funds not even our most
rabid antagonists will dispute.
Trade Agreement Against Open Shop,
In many cities employers, antagonistic to
liibor. have formed themselves Into so.
culled citizens' alliances, and have under
taken to propagate the policy of the de
struction of organized labor, their first ef
fort belns directed to what they are
pleased to term the "open shop," and to
attack the union shop under the false as
sertion that it is a "closed shop." In mv
last report I had occasion to give this
si.bject considerable attention. Since then
some huve pretended that the entering
Into an agreement of an employer with a
union in which exclusively union men are
to be employed by him, is In violation of
law; that It denies tho right to employ
nrent of workmen who are not members of
the unions.
in the tirst Instance the claim Is absurd
when It is known that the union not only
opens wide Its doors, Inviting all to Join,
but sends nut its organizers and mission
aries to Induce by every honorable means
within their power the nonunlonlsts to
share In the advantages that come from
united and associated effort. Hut quite
apart from this consideration is the fact,
that an employer may give a contract to
n dealer to furnish him with his raw ma
terial, or to erect a plant, or to furnish
him with machines, the contractor to have
tho exclusive right to furnish and provide
these things. Such a contract Implies and
provides the exclusion of all other dealers,
builders or machinery manufacturers. Ia
such a contract held to be Improper or un
lawful? Are not hundreds of thousands of
contracts of this character made dally?
The agreement between an employer and a
union is for the members of the union to
fi.rntsh that employer with labor of cer
tain qualifications for a specific period of
time. the. consideration being the payment
of stipulated wages as a minimum. That
others are ly their own short-sighted
policy or indifference excluded from the
provisions nnd benefits of such an agree
mrnt is their own fault and against which
tley have neither the legal nor the moral
rlzlit to contend.
No Demand of Personal Liberty.
The union shop in no sense involves a
denial of the right of every man to sell
his labor as he may see tit, nor the em
ployer to hire such labor. In fact, it la an
affirmation of that right. Employers have
the lawful right to hire any labor they may
choose, but it does not give them the
right to impress workmen or to enslave
them, or to drag them into a factory on
any terms the employer may choose to
giant as an expression of his "kindliness."
Employers have the right to make con
tracts for labor. The right carries with
it. also, the same rights of the workmen.
It. therefore, follows that If the workers
have the right to sell their labor as they
see fit, they have also the right r.ot to
sell it to employers, unless It be through
the collective bargain of the union shop.
As aa Illustration. I reo-ntlv usserted that
every man has the right to say. "I 'will
not work for you unlN. vnu nukp a con
tract with the union to which I belong
and agree to employ none hut members of
that union." To claim thut he iniy noi
.iy this is eiulvnlent to saying that he
must aell his labor, nut H he atcs tit. but

agreement leave was given to file briefs
and the case was set for the next term of
the Madison county court. Berea college,
it is said, was not to receive colored pupils,
but at the beginning of the school year
colored pupils were admitted and the school
was indicted. The case will probably go
to the court of appeals.

BOOKER WASHINGTON TALKS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. H.-In an ad

tonight Booker Washington said:
Not a few have predicted that on account

JAPANESE SOLDIERS ARE NOW FESTIVE
London Hears that tsar Has Decided
to Send Second Division
of (innrds to the
Front.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-"Russla will
pursue tho war In the far cast to the bitter
end. that Is, until Russia has conquered."
These are the opening words of an em
phatic statement made at the Russian em
bassy today by Count Cusslnl, the Russian
ambassador.
Several times recently the ambassador,
In the name of his government, has cate
gorically denied the possibility of any In
tervention In the war, but the recurrence
of rumors that the powers contemplated
mediation has caused the ambassador to
reiterate on behalf of his government It
position regarding intervention or media
tion of any kind. The statement continues!
I deem It my duty to reiterate what I
have so often sold, that Russia will not
suspend In any case her military operations
In the fur east. All rumors and reports
regarding the possible success of the direct
overtures for peace which Japan Is said
to have made to Russia, and regarding tiie
mediation of the powers, in my opinion,
are started for the purpose of convincing
the public that the end of the war Is close
nt band. In this way It Is hoped that the
public may be led to believe that Japanese
loans offer attractive In vestments.
Russia can no more nilmlt of interference
than Great Britain could In the Transvaal,
than could the I'nlted States In her war
with Spain. Where the prestige of a country
Is at stake nil other considerations are and
must be put aside. Some people limy think
that financial difficulties will Influence Rus
sia to end hostilities. Such nil opinion is
based upon the false assumption of Rus.
sla's financial resources. There Is no doubt
whatever that Russia, whose annual income
exceeds one milliard of dollars, cannot be
Influenced In her attitude toward the out
come of the war by the amount of war
expenditures. Is It not altogether out of
the question that Russia, who did not ex
pect war, should In the moment alien she
has mobilized her army and Is sending
corps after corps in fighting readiness to
the far east, suddenly call a halt on hostili
ties, particularly after she has for nenrlr
a year, without any difficulty or recourse
to extraordinary measures, been able to
carry all tho extra expenses?
It Is not within my scope to comment
upon the new Japanese loan. That is an
affair for the bankers nnd for the publio
who are able to decide what ndvuntnses
or disadvantages the Investment offers. But
there can be no necessity for comment upon
Russia's credit. Any one acquainted with
the Paris exchange is ahle to convince him
self of the snlklliy cf Russia' finances.

ST. PKTEKSBURd, Nov. J4.-1 p. m.
The latest indications from the front point
to an early resumption of military opera
tions on a largo scale. Field Marshal
Oyama haa received heavy rein fore jmenta
from New Chwang and evidently Is about
ready to wage battle for the possession
of Mukden. The Japanese are showing
particular activity on their right flank, as
If they were contemplating a turning
movement from that direction. General
Kouroputkln has fortified his positions
along the Shaklie river and a he seem-'
ingly is prepared to accept a battle, ha
doubtless has made dispositions to block
a flanking operation. According to tha
opinion of the military authorities hera
his left flank is secure.

minister of war, denies the Japanese
charges to the effect that Russian troops

Japanese of wearing Russian uniforms in
the attack on Shakhe, October 14, whereby
they were enabled to approach close to tha
Russian batteries und capture several guna
of the Thirty-seventh brigade.

GENKRAL KOt'ROPATKIN'B HEAD
QUARTERS (Via Mukden, Nov. 13.) (De
