DETROIT , Midi. , Doc. 16. The American
Federation of Lob.r thin afternoon rsRlstcrel
emphatic disfavor of go\crnmet.t"Hubsldles
to American Mlilp owners and declared al
most unanlmoUilyKrgainfitUh ( ; Tirrji4lnlo nn.l
practice of subsidy legislation. Incidentally
eonio more or less distinguished Jobbyls ,
pome of them federal officeholders who had
been lobbying to secure Indorsement of the
Fryo subsidy bill , suffered u tleJlded defeat ,
The debute lasted three bours and tile
aiiceclics were the most vigorous of any
heard In the convention during the week it
lias been In sisidon , but only two of the
ecveial speakers supported the subsidy
Idea.
Idea.The convention declined lo adopt a resolu
tion concerning the Idaho miners and mil
itary dltnculty , which declared that "we do
hereby emphatically condemn and denounce
President McKlnley , Governor Steunenberg
and all the officials concerned In the out-
rase" and called also upon the working
people "to sever their connection and refuse
nny support to the republican and dem
ocratic parties , " etc.
A -substitute , for the latter resolution was
adopted which , after reciting that Innocent
men had been Incarcerated without referenca
lo their constitutional rights , etc. , pr tcs.s
ngalnst anil condemns said alleged Inhuman
actions by the authorities and directs the
executive council of the federation to "milca
full Investigation and place the responsi
bility where It properly belongs. "
( JlMlllHTM I'reallll'K.
President Oompors prealdeJ this afternoon
lor the nrst time.
Thq question of a declaration on the sub
ject of ship subsidies was raised by the
bringing In of two resolutions , one from the
bollcrmakcrs and Iron ship builders favoring
subsidy leglsfntlon , the other favoring ship
mibsldlea. The resolutions committee of
fered as a .substitute for both a resolution
declaring that , since the natural resources
of America offer abundantly everything
necessary to builders of ships much more
cheaply than In Europe ,
Resolved , That while wo favor an In
creased national merchant irarlne wo are
opposed to uny nnd nil subsidies , believing
the Industry well able to care for Itself.
Delegate William S : Ollthorpe of the Boil
ermakers argued for subsidy legislation ,
chiefly- the ground that It costs more to
operate American than foreign ships. He
attributed the decline of American , compared
with foreign shipping , to lack of government
assistance on this side of the Atlantic.
Delegate Warner of the Now York Ma
chinists asserted that as far as the workmen
engaged In shipbuilding trades arc con
cerned , there Is plenty of work. A tele
gram was read from San Francisco stating
that the Union Iron works could not get
men enough. Another was read from the
Metal Trades' conference of New York sayIng -
Ing :
"Kill the ship subsidy bill , if possible. "
Warner declared that the only oppcsltlon
to the eight-hour legislation In congress
came from those Interested in shipbuilding.
Diiiioim Offorn : v Substitute.
Vivo President Duncan said bo bad not met
the lobbyists present , but he understood their
nims. Ho offered the following to tbe com
mittee's substitute resolution :
Resolved further , That wo are decidedly
opposed to all legislation of this kind nnd
will not slvo It consideration until the great'
shipbuildingllrms of the country , whl li
would bo Its iroatest beneficiaries , with
draw their opposition to our eight-hour
work day legislation ami cease their dis
crimination ngulnst the employment of
union workmen.
'Mr. Wlllcle , one of the British delegates ,
himself a shipbuilder , alleged that rainy
jiilBstatements on the subsidy subject bad
been made by shipbuilding firms on both
Hides of the Atlantic. Ho advocated an In
vestigation by a committee from the labor
'organizations ' of both countries.
Max S. Hajes of Cleveland believed that
whatever the convention might do , "If that
sang of hungry vultures about Washington
1want this they'll get it , the same as the
tariff barons got their special protection
years ago. It was true , " ho eald , "that
labor builds tbe ships , builds everything , but
liow much does labor own ? " He nrguoJ for
loss ships und less work , and the getting
down to , moro of a socialistic basis. Hayis'
Btormy remarks brought the loudest applause
4of the convention.
Hc-riini'tiniMit of I'-iitrllHli Men.
iDolegate Andrew Furnesth of the Seamen's
union denied that It coats more to operate
American ships than others , or that Amer
ican seamen's treatment In any better. Ho
charged that , stowed nway In the recesses
oMho'subsfdy bill was a re-enactment cf the
English press gang Idea. Vice President
O'Connell related some of his observations
In British shipyards In refutation of tlu
Idea that the Americans are the better paid.
. President Ormpcrs told the convention of
some previous Interviews with him by promoters
meters of the bill , and stated that the lat
ter declined to give any assistance toward
passing an eight-hour law. Said Mr , Gomp-
crs :
"This scheme for looting the- treasury of
our country Is puerile In coucjpibn and
widen ! In execution and these lobbyhts have
Tiot .tho Interests of organlzo.1 labor at
heart. "
After considerable further dlscufslon Dun-
cnn'H amendment was accepted by tha rts-
olutlons committee and the resolution , . as BO
amended , was adopted by the convention
with three adverse votes.

ALL ENGLAND IN THE DUMPS

LONDON , Dec. 10. A hastily summoned
meeting of the cabinet was held at the for
eign ofllco this afternoon for the purpose of
dealing with the war crisis.
LONDON , Dec. 16 , As might have been
expected the desperate state of the British
arms In South Africa , ns revealed by the
defeat of General Duller at Tugeja river ,
where at one stroke ho lost treble the num
ber of guns' Wellington left In the hands of
Napoleon during the six years' fighting In
the peninsula , while adding to tlie deter
mination of the authorities to send every
available man to the front , caused some
thing In the nature ot a momentary panic
among thopublic , which was reflected on the
stosk exchange , as already cabled.
It Is long since thp tone ot the newspapers
and the comment In the clubs and other re
sorts has been BO chastened nnd pessimistic.
Some of the comments go so far as to say the
crisis Is so far-reaching that Great Britain
stands "where she stood over a century
back , when the American colonists , men ot
British and Dutch blood , were In arms. "
In addition to the denial from Wnterford ,
cabled yesterday to the Associated Press , the
commanding officer of the First battalion of
the Royal Irish regiment at Aldcrshot has
telegraphed to the Associated Press saying
there la absolutely no truth In the statement
cabled to the United States that the reserves
ot the battalion cheered for President
Kruger and threw their rifles and accoutre
ments Into the river when leaving Waterford
on their way to South Africa. He adds : "The
Uoyal Irish Reservists arrived hero complete ,
as dispatched from , Clonmel. There were no
deficiencies In cither men , arms or accoutre
ments. "
The Evening Standard declares the situa
tion calls for'all the equanimity , determina
tion and perseverance of the empire and
demands the Immediate calling out of all the
volunteers , embodying all tbe outlanders expelled -
polled from the Transvaal to guard the lines
of communication , thus freeing all the
regulars for service In the fighting line.
UriteH Itnillcnl Mcnaiirc * .
The Star urges the commandeering "of
all the great English Atlantic llncre for the
transportation of reinforcements , " nnd says
the country "must set herself the task of
plucking victory out ot defeat , " adding :
"Tho guilt of the government | s superseded
by the danger of the empire. We are think
ing of a hostile Europe , wo are thinking of
India and whatever happens , wo Implore the
government not to move another man from
Calcutta or Bombay. Wo remember the
mutiny. "
The St. James Gazette Is also apprehensive
of foreign complications and thinks Franco
Is preparing for some venture which will
be In the nature of a deilance of Great
Britain , and urges the admiralty to form n
now squadron of the chips In the reserve.
The Globe , after urging the Immediate d's-
patch of reinforcements nnd the use of tha
militia , says : "And we can turn whh equal
confidence to the strong arms and loyal
hearts of our fellow-subjects In Canada and
Australia. Those offers which wcro so lib
erally made and which were not too gener
ously received nt the beginning of the war
will , wo are confident , be renewed , as the
urgency of the contest reveals Itself. They
can see as keenly as ourselves that not only
our supremacy In Africa , but the mainte
nance of the empire , Is at stake , "
The Pall Mall Gazette's review of the sit
uation says : "U Is no use crying over split
milk. Surprises cf all sorts must be ex
pected In war. Our position for the advance
Is Intact. Nothing has occurred to'shako
our belief In General Duller , Let us steadily
trust him and furnish him ns rapidly as pos
sible with more guns and more horses and
men. "

As the day proceeded the attacks of nerve ?
disappeared and the only permanent cffe-t
of tbo serious news was to cause a tighter
clenching of flats and a more set determina
tion to achieve thu task the , country 1ms un
dertaken. Deporting troops - woremore
vehemently cheered than usjial and the
troops themselves displayed evr i much
greater desire to reach the front.
There was little excitement at uo War
office , but orders were being Issued In all di
rections for thp mobilization of the reserves
and mllltla. The latter will replace the reg
ulars In the garrison towns.
Queen Victoria was greatly , concerned
about the latest reverse. The commander-
In-chief , Lord Wolaeley , was nt Windsor
castle when the news arrived and bo took a
special train back to London.

LONDON , Dec. 16. The news of the defeat
of General Duller nt Tugela river caused n
momentary panic on the stock "xchange here
today , where there was Intense excitement
In all departments. Immediately after the

Americans were very flat and were freely of
fered by local nnd continental holdero nt
prices which they found difficulty In obtain
ing. Foreigners moved In sympathy with the
other securities. Parisian Blocks , however ,
held their own comparatively well.
After the nrst rush the market steadied
somewhat ; still , spcculatora were reluctant
to engage In fresh commitments , confining
themselves to the closing of operations.
The prevailing views of the situation are
of the most serious character , both politically
and monetarily , the latter mainly because a
fresh defeat of the British troops will delay
longer the supply of South African gold ,
Two unimportant failures were announced
early In tbe day.
Prices on the Stock exchange closed better
than they opened , but below the best. Rand
Mines closed at 33 , Delleer.i at 24 ! ! , Goldfields -
fields at 6 15-16 and Chartered at 3Vs.
NBW YORK , Dec. 10. Five minutes of
active trading on the Stock exchange at the
opening today demonstrated that the market
was to bo allowed to run Into unopposed
demoralization. P.unnlng sales at the openIng -
Ing showed quotations far apart. Extreme
declines In the Internationally listed stocks
ran up to 2& points , in sympathy with the
demoralization caused on the London Stock
exchange by the unexpected dleaetfer to Gen
eral Buller In South Africa. But even on
the opening transactions the prices quoted
were on a scale upward , the recovery of 1 to
2 points being almost Instantaneous , The
leading Industrials and specialties were
greater sufferers than the railroad stocks
dealt In on the London exchange. The ex
treme decline In this group reached 5 points.
In the general list the fall In prices was
not excessive. Sales for London account
were on a largo scale , especially as the rally
lifted prices above the London parity , so
that there was an Inviting profit In selling
stocks here that had been bought on the
elurap In London.
The trading at the opening was attended
by considerable excitement , and , Indeed , the
Wall stret district showed unwonted signs
of activity before ( ho stock market opened.
The news In the morning papers of General
Buller's reverse brought brokers anil stock
operators early on the ground to make prepa
rations for the demands upon them. Many
did not wait for the opening of the New-
York exchange , but cabled buying orders to
London , thua helping on the rally there
before the trading began In New York.
The vigorous support by distribution of large
buying orders through the principal portions
of the list was thus made effective and the
market moved upward almost from the open-
Ing. The recovery caused n pause In the
rush to liquidate and- the market became
quiet and lost all appearance of excitement.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 16. Representative
Sulzer of New York today Introduced a Joint
resolution declaring that a state of war ex
ists In South Africa and according belliger
ent rights to the Transvaal government. The
resolution :
Resolved , By the senate nnd house ot
representatives , that the government ot
the United States recognizes a condition of
public wnr between the government of
Great Britain and the government of the
republic of Transvnal and the United
States of America hereby declare that they
will maintain a condition of strict neutral
ity between the contending powers and
accord to each nil the rights of belliger
ents In the ports and territory of the
United State ? . The congress of the United
States protests and remonstrates against
the barbarous manner In which the war
has been conducted by Great Britain and
the president IP hereby authorized to take
such steps aw may bo expedient In his judg
ment to Hecure an observance of the laws
of war as recognized by all civilized nations
and bring about an honorable peace.
Sulzcr said of the resolution : "My sym
pathy Is with the heroic Boers. They are
making a bravo and gallant fight against
great odds for their homos , their firesides
and their liberties. We should not secretly
or openly help Great Britain to their disad
vantage. Wo should accord the Boers all
the rights of belligerents. I want to see the
Boers win nnd I hope they will , I am op
posed to the plg-stloklng mode otwarfare
Great Britain is carrying on. If what I read
in the papers Is true , this cruelty and In
humanity puts Kngland beyond the pale of
civilization. I shall do all In my power to
pass this resolution. It will come up In the
bouse and I want to go on record In favor
of the Bocra and their republic nnd against
England or Anglo-American alliance ex
pressed or implied. "

FIRST STKP TO CUT CIRCUIT
National League Magnates Appoint Special

Ilrnnklyn Club ,
NBW YORK , Dec. 16. The National
league magnates abruptly closed their five
days' session at the Fifth Avcntio hotel today -
day , after having been In conference for n
little over an hour. The adjournment was
taken with the understanding that they
were to bo called together In the near fu
ture to listen to n report to be made by n
special committee to provide ways and
means for the reduction of the league cir
cuit. The committee consists of Brush
Hart , Rogers of Philadelphia and A. H.
Sodcn.
According lo the expressed views of cer
tain of the magnates , an eight-club league
Is almost n certainty. The appointment of
the committee In question menus that n
majority of the club members arc desirous
of aiio reduction of the circuit. The ques
tion lias now narrowed down to one of how
much money will bo necessary to buy off the
four clubs It Is proposed to drop. The clubs
In question nre Louisville , Baltimore , Cleve
land nnd Washington. H Is with the owners
of the Baltimore club that the committee
expects to have Its only serious trouble.
This franchise is owned by the Brooklyn-
Bnltltncro syndicate , consisting of F. A.
Abell , Charles Ebbetts , Harry von Der Horst
and Ned HanJon.
A't ' the meeting Just closed the magnates
saw fit to make things rather unpleasant
for the Brooklyn-Baltimore contingent and
as a result , It Is said , the original price
named for the Baltimore franchise has been
jumped up several points.
As to the Washington franchise , which Is
held by the Wagners , It is believed that the
owncra have had an understanding with their
brother magnates. The power of the com
mittee appointed today Is limited to the
arranging of details only. The league Is
not In duty bound compelled to accept Its
report , but It la said that so anxious are
some of the magnates to see the circuit ro-
diced they will accede to anything llko
reasonable terms. An effort will be made
to have the matter reportct to the league
at a special meeting to be held some time
In January.
HriiNh DlHciiN cn I'ronoficil Reduction.
John T. Brush said :
"Today was the first time that the mag
nates have , In a meeting , discussed the pro
posed reduction In the circuit. Their feeling
la best indicated by the appointment of the
committee. The whole matter Is one of desire
and prejudice ; desire on the part of the
majority of the magnates , and prejudice on
the part of the others. The majority wants
an eight-club league. If It can be effected
on a reasonable basis. There has been con
siderable talk to the effect that a certain
set of men will block the whole thing.
Maybe their prejudice will offset the desire ,
but that remains to be seen. "
This meeting has. been productive of com
paratively little of Interest to the public.
For four days the Wrlgley case occupied
the entire attention of tbe meeting. This
and some legislation for the benefit of the
minor leagues arc about all of importance
that has been accomplished.
H is understood that at today's meeting
Colonel Rogers offered a resolution remit
ting the flno Imposed on the New York club
In the Holmes case. It is said that the ma
jority of the magnates disapproved of the
resolution , but so that It would not bo made
public In the usual channel Colonel Rogers
was pressed to withdraw his motion. This
he finally did. When President Young gave
out the news of the meeting , the fact that
euch a motion had been made was not told.
The schedule and umpire questions weru
also brought up at today's meeting by Hart ,
but they were laid over-until after the re
port of the special committee 1 laid before
the league. Hart wants a schedule calling
for 132 games for each club In case the
twelve-club circuit Is maintained , and one
calling for 140 games In case of an eight-
club league.
