'tip; an Increaas In grain r1'i la going
to b mad". The markets show that no In
cree baa been made aa yt, however,
er.d that the rport of one did not Rain
general circulation. December wheat sold
at 7 high and Mar wheat soared to sell
ing price of 77Vi to i. the aeason'a top
notrh. December corn went at 5V. but
Mar forn aiar4 at 43'4.
"Had thla rumor penetrated the pita
and reached the wires there would have
Ween a eonalderahle slump In the market,
rrou can depend oa that; that la, of course.
If the rumor wti known to hare come from
th sources It did. Of rnurae no mere goa-
lalp rumor, aurh aa are floating around
II the time, would hare had aurh an ef
fect. I look for a change in the market
toow, that thla matter haa reached a point
whers It will be given general circulation.
,It will come aa a great surprise, I think,
'to manr centera, though there haa been
'some such auaplclon for aoroe tlma.".
Asked what effect In figures thla inoresss
would probably have on the marketa, Mr.
Walsh expressed the opinion that It would
lower wheat 10 cents and cornS. He ssld
lie would not be surprised to see wheat
drop aa low aa 70 aa a rcault.
MITCHELL'S ORDEAL IS OVER

Jwo cuhlc feet until they varied from eighty
to ninety-two feet.
In moving the car from the breaat of
the mine to the shaft, there waa a 6 per
rent shake down.
"Bo that thla meaaurement," Inquired
Mr. Rarow, "glvea the dishonest miner
the aame wages as the miner who loaded
fcta car carefully?"
Bubaequent examination brought the fact
that the miner who : put more than alx
inchea of topping" on hla car received
bo additional compensation.
Anawering a question by Mr. Watklna,
Dr. Roberta aald an effort had been made
by the Individual operators to Import cheap
labor Into the fields.
"It waa done," aald he. "through ship
ping agenta, who got men In New York
to watch the vessels coming In and turned
the current of Immigration that la, the
Blav Immigration, Into the coal fields."
Mr. Roberta compared Blav standard of
living with that of the native-bora Amer
ican and ahowed It to be far below. Few
of the miners' children, he said, attend
school after they have paaaed the age
of 14.
He declared that a miner's work was
mora rlaky than that of men In any other
large Industry, there being more deatha In
the mines than on the railroads, but fower
accident.

"Hare you noticed the effect of saloons
on minors?" .waa the next question.
"The number of saloons In Schuylkill
county has decreased," was the reply, "and
the consensus of opinion la that It is due
largely to the miners' union."
He also oplnloncd that the social worth,
manliness and Individuality of the Blav
Iiad greatly Increased through the miners'
tialon.
"Under the conditions you have de
scribed," Mr. Wolverton asked, "can there
be any uniform standard of wages, apply
ing to the whole coal region or to one col
liery, that would da Justice to the employe
and employer?"
Witness replied that he did not know
whether that could be done, but said that
where Work was the same or nearly ao
there was no reason why wages would be
different.
At this point the commission adjourned.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19. The special
committee appointed to consider the
charges of Mr. Shaffer made agaloat Mr.
Ootnpers will report tomorrow to the full
convention of ths American Federation
of Labor.
As an Investigation It will terminate In
the exoneration of Mr. Oompera and as
a aensatlon It will probably wind up In
the wet firecracker olass. Mr. Shaffer
has not only failed to substantiate his
charges, but a member of the committee
is authority for the statement that he has
not even repeated (hem. He appeared be
fore the committee, and when be came
away declared he, bad . presented his
charges. The committee says he did not
formulate them. la the absence of direct
accusation there can be but one end to the
Investigation.
The convention: today wrestled with the
subject of the autonomy of trades coun
cils and the matter was not exhausted
when the adjornmnnt was taken.
(arreatrra Renew Fight.
The chief fight- of ths day cams In the
old struggts between the United Brother
hood .of Carpenters and Joiners and the
Amalgamated Association of Carpenters.
The former organisation ; suited ' for the
revocation of the charter of. (he latter be
cause of alleged practices contrary to the
Interests of the trade onion movement,
Its avowed object being to force the other
organization Into Its own ranks. After
several hours of debate 'the matter was
referred to a committee of eleven, Ave
from each organization and an umpire to
be selected. The committee is to meet be
fore March S, IMS, and endeavor to bring
about amalgamation of tho two organiza
tions. All hostilities are to cease pending
the meeting of the commission.
The faction In the convention oppoaod
to the re-clectlon of President Oompers
has as yet been unable to fix upon a rival
candidate. James Duncan has refused to
commit himself In either direction aad
James Lynch of the Typographical union
Is now spoken of as a candidate.
The committee on resolutions repotted
on the resolution that Porto Rlcan labor
era taken Into Hawaii are being 111 treated
and should be returned ' by the United
States government to Porto Rico.
The committee recommended that ths
charges of 111 treatment be Inves'.lgated,
and If found to be correct a petition for
the return of the men to Porto Rico be
presented to the government.
Condemns Eliot's Speech.
A resolution condemning the recent re
ported utterances of President Eliot sf Har
vard college in favor of "scab" working
men was reported upon favorably by the
committee and Its action was endorsed by
the convention.
The first paragraph nf the resolution, as
originally Introduced, commenced.:
"Whereas, the head of the foremost Amer
ican university. President Charles W. Eliot
of Harvard, etc." Secretary Agard of the
resolutions, committee called attention of
the convention to the word "foremost,"
saying that the committee bad changed
the word to "prominent," as. the member
of the resolution committee did not believe
that an Institution which would retain at
its head a man capable of auch expressions
aa those credited to President Eliot could
by any possibility be the foremost univer
sity of the country. " ."
Delegate Joseph B. Allen of Philadelphia
deeired that the word be cbangot to the
"head of one of the degenerate universi
ties." j '
Delegsts Llghthall of Chicago declared
i.hat President Harper nf Chicago university
BDd John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the
institution, were both opposed to the union
movement, and that they were trying to
secure control of the public schools in that
city and that the laboring men were en
deavoring to counteract ths movement by
organizing the teachers into unions.
T,he resolutions aa amended by the reso
lutions committee waa passed unanimously.
No second was mads to ths motion of Dels
gate Allen.
The McComaa bill now pending before
ths United Statea senate providing for in
creased pay for all overtime on govern
ment works was endorsed by ths committee
and the recommendation was adopted by
ths committee. Ths executlvs . council
recommended that ths application of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners for tbs revocation of the charter
ot the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters
be denied as the charges bad not been sub
stantiated. 1 i
A long debate followed and was still In
progress when the convention adjourned.
Conciliation Committee Formed. '.'
At ths afternoon sesalon, Max Hayes
moved as a substitute that the entire mat
ter be referred to a committee of eleven,
Ave from each organization, and an um
pire. This was adopted. '
Ths application of ths United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners for the
revocation of the charter ot the Amalga
mated Woodworkers was then taken up.
The fight was on the grounds similar to
those In the dispute between the Broth
erhood and ' the Amalgamated Carpenters
and the matter was laid over until tomor
row. A dispute between the International
Typographical union, and tha Allied Trades
over ths ownership of ths allied printing
tradea label was withdrawn from the con
vention. All parties have agreed to a joint
meeting of three delegates from each body
at which an agreement will, be framed
It la understood representation Is to be
given In accordance .with numerical
atrength In ths Allied printing tradea coun
ells, and a supreme council composed of
two representatives of ths Typographical
and one each from ths Printing Pressmen's
and ths Bookbinders' National union Is to
be formed to which all local unions can ap
peal and wboao decision Is to be final.

REFUGEES BRING WORD
Describe Devastation in Guatemala from
Volcano's Eruption.
MANY LOCAL INDIANS LOSE THEIR LIVES
Deatractlna ( Property Worse Than
Reported, CosTee Plaatatloaa Relas;
of Aafces.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 19. The first of
the refugees from the devastated lands of
Guatemala arrived hers today. They came
from the Inland sea and traveled over a
country laid waste by sand, ashes and
pumice before reaching the railway.
They called on November 7, when the
volcano was still smoking, and the rumbling
of thunder and flashes of lightning gavs
evidence of more eruptions to come. These
people fled from their plantations In fear
far their Uvea." They iscaped to the sea
side with little more than tha clothing
they wore.
They confirm the stories of lost lives,
saying the victims for the most part were
Indians, thoueands ot whom were asphyx
iated or buried In the sand. Miles of
plantations were under ashes and absolute
ruin was the Io of many planters whose
all was Invested In the flocas.
They state that It was not the crater
of Banta Maria that waa In action, but a
smaller mountain rising from one of Ita
western slopes called El Rosato.
Robbers Loot and Kill.
Bands of Mexican robbers were swarming
the desolated regions, robbing and mur
dering refugees on the road and looting
the abandoned and desolate plantations.
The people left behind were In danger of
death from starvation, for the food supply
bad been cut off and there was no way
to send in supplies'. '
The steamer City of Para met evidences
of the volcanic eruption soon after leav
ing Ocos. Great quantities ot pumice were
found floating on the water, some of them
being about the size ot a man's head. The
sea was covered with It. Off the coast of
Guatemala the shore was burled' with a
light ash. At Cbamperlco there was about
half an Inch of ash. over the roofs of ths
houses and the ground was covered, as
though there had been a snowstorm. Ashes
were then falling, although It waa sixteen
daya after the first eruption. During the
eight of Novembf-r 8, Just a few hours
before City ot Tara sailed out of the port,
loud rumblings of the earth were heard
and heavy reports as of distant thunder
came from the direction of the volcano.
Word had been received from Maza-
tenango, on the outskirts of the ruined
territory, that on the evening of October
26 Santa Mara opened a crater on the
west side near Its base and not far from
Helvetia and all that night belched forth
volumes of ashes and lava over Folhu. On
Saturday morning It was seen that several
more craters had opened and all were
spouting volcanic debris. These fresh
craters were further1 to the west and for
over twenty-four hours were in constant
eruption. '
The earth was' in continual commotion.
shaking down buildings and causing much
destruction.
Ifo Hope for Plaatatloaa.
All the territory about Palmer, San
Felipe, Pueblo Nusvo and Retalquleu was
buried under ashes .and all hope of ever
reclaiming thtm.. had been given up. The
whole neighborhood for. miles waa a burn
ing wllderneai,',(. (-
At Mazantenan'p, on the south side ot
the volcano, only ashes had fallen and cot
to such a great depth; consequently It waa
posslbls to save aome of the plantation
property. News from that town said that
hundreds of refugees were collecting and
many more were pushing on to places fur
ther away. Many were without, bread or
shelter and their condition waa pitiful.
At that place most of the buildings had
been 'badly damaged It not completely de
stroyed by the earthquakes that accompa
nied the eruptions. When the last word
came from Mazantenango, fifteen daya
after the. first eruption of Santa Maria, the
earth had been constantly trembling.
At Champerlco a modest estimate of the
loss to the coffee crop places It at 400,000
centals.
SPEAKS AT MEMPHIS

were frantic, jumping up and down and
yelling themselves hoarse.
The president spoke briefly on ths need
for good citizenship and at the close the
entire audience of over 3,000 . united In
singing "God Bb With You Until We Meet
Again."
In the evening the proceedings of the
day were wound np by a banquet at whloh
over too men were - present. Governor
Longlno of Mississippi, who had traveled
from Jackson, being among them.
Replying to the toast of "Our Country,"
tbs president said:
Compliments the South.
It Is a real and great pleasure to corns

from the entire country General Luke K.
Wright. We have a right to expect a high
standard of manhood from Tennesaee. It
was one of the first two states created

was In this state that the first aelf-gov-ernlng
community of American freemen
waa eatabllxhed upon water flowing Into

Ths argument ,on food are Interesting.
Many peraona adopt- a vegetarian diet on
tbs ground that they do not like to feel
that Ufa has been taken to feed them, nor
do they fancy the thought of eating dead
meat. . ' .
' On the other , bafid,, too great consump
tion of , partly cooked, starchy oats and
wheat, or bread,, paatry etc., produces
ssrjous bowel troubles, because the bewel
dlgestlvs organs, (where starch ahould be
dlgeated), are overtaxed and ths food fer
ments, producing gaa, and microbes gener
ate In ths decayed food, frequently bring
ing on peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food Is absolutely essential to
ths human body. Its best form Is shown
In ths food "Grape-Nuts," .whers ths
starch Is changed into grape sugar during
ths process of Its manufacture. In this
wsy. ths required food Is presented to tbs

Why In mental? Because tbs food containa

daring, and Iron resolution are of right to
be expected among the sons of a state
which nurtured Andrew Jackann and Psm
Houston; which sent Into the American
navy one of the most famous fighting ad
mirals of all time, Karrsgut.
Rennloa Is Complete.
There Is another reason why cur countrv
should be glad that It was (general Wright
who render,! thla service, tlenernl Wright
fought with distinguished gallantry among
the gallant men a ho served In the armies
of the confed'Tacy during the civil war.
We need no proof of the completeness of
our reunion as a people. When the war
with Spain came the sons cf the men who
wore the blue and the sons of the mn who
wore the gray vied with one another In
the effort to get into the ranks and face
a foreign foe under the old flu that had
been carried In triumph under Wlntleld
Scott and Zachary TaWor and Andrew
Jackson. It was my own good fortune to
serve under that fearless hchter, old Joe
Wheeler, a memory of which I shall al
ways be proud. Hut If we needed any proof
of the unity of our interests it would have
afforded this very year by General Wright,
the ex-confederate, In his administration
as acting governor of the Philippine isl
ands. L'pon him during the months of
summer rested a heavier burden of re
sponsibility than upon any other public
servant at that pnrtleulat time;- and not
ths least of his titles to our regard Is the
way In which he was aMe to worn on terms
of cordial good a'lll with the head of the
army, himself a man who had honored
the blue uniform aa Wright had honored
ths gray.
Cannot Escape Doty.
General Wright's work has been ns diffi
cult as It was Important. The events of
the last four years have definitely decided
that whether we wl.h to or not we muM
hereafter p'ay a great part In the world.
We can not escape facing the duties. We
may shirk them If we are built of poor
stuff, or we may take hold and do them
If we are fit sons of our sires but face
them we must, whether we will or not.
Our duty In the Philippine Islands has
simply been one of the duties that thus
have come upon us. We are there, and
we can no more haul down our flag and
abandon the Inlands thnn we could now
abandon Alaska. Whether we are glad or
sorry that events forced us to go there Is
aside from the question; the point Is thrtt,
as the Inevitable result of the war with
Spain, we found ourselves In the Philippines
and that we could not leave the Islands
without discredit. The Islanders were
wholly unfit to govern themselves, and If
we had left there would have been a brief
period of bloody chaos, and then some
other nation would have stepped In to do
the work which we had shirked. It can
not be too often repeated that there was
no question that tfte work had to be done.
All the question was, whether we would
do It well or 111; and, thanks to the choice
of men like Governor Wright, It has been
done well. The first snd absolutely indis
pensable requisite waa order pesce. The
reign of lawless violence, of resistance to
leKltlmate authority, the reign of anarchy,
could no more be tolerated abroad thnn It
could be tolerated here In our own land.
Flag; Stands for Liberty.
The American flag stands for orderly
liberty, and it stands for it abroad as it
stands for It at home. The task of our
soldiers was to restore and maintain order
In the Islands. The army had the task to
do. and It did It well and thoroughly. The
fullest and heartiest praise belongs to our
soldiers who In the Chlllpplnes brought to
a triumphant conclusion a war, small In
deed compared to the gigantic struggle In
which the older men whom 1 am address
ing took part In the early '60s, but In
conceivably harassing and difficult, because
It was waged amid the pathless Jungles of
tropic islands and against a foe very
elusive, very treacherous, and often incon
ceivably cruel both toward our men and
toward the great numbers of peace-loving
Filipinos who gladly welcomed our advent.
The soldiers Included both regulars and
volunteers, men from the north, the south,
the east and the weat, men from Pennsyl
vania and from Tennessee, no less than
men from the Rocky mountains and the
Pacific slope and to all alike we give
honor, for they acted as American soldiers
should.
Punish Wrooa-Doera.
Cruelties were committed here and there.
The fact that they were committed under
well nigh Intolerable provocation affords
no excuse for such cruelties, nor can we
admit aa . Justification that they were re
taliatory In kind.'' Kvery 'effort has been
made to detect and punish the wrongdoers
and the wrongdoing itself has been com
pletely stopped. Hut these misdeeds were
exceptional, and their occurrence in no wise
alters the fact that the American army in
the Philippines showed as a whole not
only splendid soldierly qualities but a high
or dor of humanity In dealing with their
foes. A hundred thousand of our troops
went to the Philippines. Among them
were some who offended against the right.
Well, are we altogether Immaculate at
home? 1 think not. I ask for no special
consideration to be shown our friends and
kinsmen, our sons and brothers, who dur
ing three years so well upheld the na
tional honor in the Philippines. I ask
merely that we do the same equal Justice
to the soldier who went abroad and faced
death and lived hard as we show to his
fellow whe stayed at home and lived easily
and In comfort; and If we show that equal
Justice we will doff our hata to the man
who haa put the whole country under
obligations by the victory he helped to win
In the Philippines.
But the soldier s worK ss a soldier was
rot the larger part of what he did. When
once the outbreak was over In any place,
then began the work of establishing civil
administration. Here, too, the soldier did
hla part, for the work of preparing for the
civil authority waa often done by the offi
ce ra and men of the regular army, and well
done, too. Then the real work of building
up a system oi sen-government ror tne
people who had become our wards waa
begun, under the auxptcea of the Philippine
commission. Judge Taft being made gov
ernor, and I having had the honor myself
to appoint General Wright as vice gov
ernor. During- the critical period when
the Insurrection waa ending and the tlma
was one of transition between a state of
war and a state of peace, at the time that
I Issued a proclamation declaring that the
stats of war waa over and that the civil
government waa now lr complete com
mand, General Wright served as governor
of the archipelago. The progress of the.
Islands both In material well being and as
regards order and Justice under the ad
ministration of Governor Wright and his
colleagues baa been astounding.
Have Gone Fast Enough.
There Is no question ss to our not hav
ing gone far enough and fast enough In
grunting self-government to ths Filipinos;
the only possible danger has been lest ws
should go faster and farther than waa In
ths Interest of the Filipinos themselves.
Each Filipino at the present day Is guaran
teed his life, his liberty and the chance
to pursue happiness as he wishes, so long
aa he does not harm his fellows, In a way
which the Islands have never known before
during all their recorded history. There
are banda ot ladrones, of brigands, still
In existence. Now and then they may
show sporadic increase. This will be due
occasionally to disaffection with some of
the things that our government doea which
are best for example, the effort to quaran
tine against the plague and to enforce
necessary sanitary precautions, gently and
tactfully though It was made, produced
violent hostility among some of the mors
Ignorant natives. Again, a disease like tho
cattle plague may cause In some given
province such want that a part of the
Inhabitants revert to their ancient habit
ot brigandage. Hut the Islands have never
been aa orderly, aa peaceful, or as prosper
ous as now; and In no other Oriental coun
try, whether ruled by Asiatics or Euro
peans, Is there snythlng approaching to
(be amount of Individual liberty and of
self-government which our rule has brought
to the Filipinos. The na;ion owea a great
debt -to the people Ihrouyh whom thla
splendid work, for civilisation has been
achieved, and therefore on behalf of tho
nation I have come hero tonight to thank
In your presence your fellow townsman,
because lie has helped ua materially to
add a new page to the honor roll of Amer
ican history. General Wright, I greet you,
I thank you, and I wish you well.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 19.-Rear Admiral
Schley was tbe guest of bonor tonight at
the annual banquet Of tbe Commerolal olub
beld in commemoration ot tbe signing of
the John Jay treaty. , The affair . waa a
notable one and Admiral Schley waa given
a decided ovation, tbe climax of a day of
entbuslastic greetings.
The bauquet, bed at tbe Midland hotel,
waa most elaborate. Platea were laid for
600, the full capacity of tne' hall, and
among Jhe guests were; Captain A. Rowan,
U. S. A... qf Atcblson,' Kan., who "carried
tbe message to Garcia;' General John C.
Bates, commander, of the Department 'of
the Missouri; Captain H. M. Reevea, Hugh
Gordon Miller of Norfolk, assistant United
Statea district attorney of Virginia; Judge
C. J. Gavin of Raton,' N. M".; W. H. Rossing
ton of Topeka, Governor William E. Stan
ley of Kansas and. Frank Strong, chan
cellor of th University -. of Kansas.
Following a parade upon his arrival from
Chicago In tho afternoon Admiral Schley
and ths other distinguished guests were
given a reception a, the. Commercial club,
attended by several hundred people, then
a luncheon at the Baltimore hotel and
finally a drive about the city. Preceding
the banquet an informal' reception waa
held In the Midland hotel parlors.
Responding to the toast, "Statehood for
tha Territories," Judge C. J. Gavin said:
The redemption of ths arid landa of the
west Is an almost assured fact and the
next step' In western development muet be
the redemption oi trie -territories ana ac
cording to them their places In the sister
hood of states, which Is theirs by right of
population, wealth and Intelligence.,
Vo nertlon of the United States or the
world, for that matter, has shown mpre
rapid development than Oklahoma. -. In
thirteen years a barren pasture has been
changed to a fruitful garden, and a pop
ulation of a few Indian and cowboys has
Increased to half a million people with
more push and energy to the acre than
any other section of ths United States.
New Mexico has been knocking at the
doors of the Union since 1X50. When, as
a sovereign, state, It controls Its waters,
every valley and arroyo will be a sourcs
of wealth- and teem with plenty; its min
eral mountains will be exploited and yield
In rich abundance, ita plains will welcome
Improved atoek and gladden the hearts of
the stockman.
Arizona aeeka admission upon the ground
that Itself and Its resources are such as
entitle it to admission. Ths territory la
one of the foremtmt aectlons of ths coun
try from a mining standpoint, and Ita
agricultural interests commend them-
Vhe ' vast resources of these territories
have scarcely been touched. They have
lain dormant for want of capital to ex
ploit and develop them. Their present
volume of buslnees, as compared with the
business which will and can arise after
they are admitted aa atatea. Is measured
by contrasting ths noonday sun with a
atar of the. fourth magnltuds. In Svery
way they have demonstrated their ability
to govern themselves.
Then do not let politics or sentiment
stand In the way of rendering luetics to
theae people, but let the halo of three new
stars in our flag brighten ths commercial
way to our OrUnlal possessions.
