Thousands of Men Out. The men walked, out of all the mills and tlon of Jurisdiction. It Is understood deli- gates from the woodworkers came to the convention with Instructions to demand the expulsion of the brotherhood from the fed eration. It was announced today that there is now every Indication of an amicable adjustment of the differences. If this Is done th- mat ter will not be brought before the conven tion for adjustment. President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America, accompanied by R. Ryan, delegate from Illinois, went to Carnegie tonight, where they addressed a meeting of miners. Mr. Mitchell's address was mainly an adjuration to the miners to acquire good educations. The most perti nent point he made was that he would never sanction a cut in the miners' wages. Thomas J. Kldd, president of the wood workers and fifth vice president of the fed eration, announced tonight that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Fur this position, and for the position of eighth vice president, over Which there will prolmbly be a vigorous contest, several candidates have appeared. They aro W. D. Mahon of the Street Railway Men's association. Will iam D. Huber of the carpenters' union. J. C. Balh.nn of the painters and Joreph Valentine of the moulders. W. J. Spencer of the plumbers' union Is the present In cumbent of the eighth vice prcsldcnecy. Sentiment Is generally In favor of Tor onto. Canada, as the next place of meeting. The American Federation of Iabor was in session only an hour this morning and the tlm was occupied In the presentation and adoption of many resolutions. First Vice President James Duncan presided. A resolution condemning the workshops In the Rock Island (III.) arsenal as sweat shops was adopted. The afternoon session opened with an address by Paul Kennedy of New York, secretary of the committee on sanitation of the Central Federation union and the committee on prevention of tuberculosis of the charity organization of New York, Mr. Kennedy, after telling of the grent ravages made by tuberculosis among work men, requested the federation to do .some thing to prevent further spread and. If possible, eradicate the disease. He asked that rthe factory laws be enforced and told of tha good work done by his com mittee In the past year and showed that the death rate In New York alone had fallen off 40 per cent. In the past year, meaning a saving of 5.000 lives.

At strike headquarter many reports were being received and the leaders refused to admit that tha question of abandoning the strike had yet been ralrfod. Foreign Residents Alarmed. The altuatloo has caused a renewal of the panicky feeling among the inhabitants, whose nerves were already shattered by the events of tha last fortnight, aud hun dreds of persona Who had returned are again leaving for Finland. The foreign residents are becoming nioe and more alarmed and many of them are hastily preparing to go abroad for the winter. In oass the Finnish socialists should Join :helr Russian comrades and tie up the Finnish railroad, the only egress would b by water, and the freeslng of the Gulf of Finland a fortnight hence would close the last exit. The foreign embassies share the public alarm and the British embassy is aU vising the Immediate removal of woman and children. There are all aorta of wild rumors about Interference by the foreign powers In circulation, and the Bourse Gazette prints a report that all the great powers have Joined in a notifica tion to Russia that they intend to inter fere and prevent anarchy. This is as false as the story circulated that Mr. Eddy, the American charge d'affaires, has tele graphed for a warship and the cruiser Minneapolis was now proceeding hither. The American embassy has not asked for a warship and has not been advised by the Staid department that one is coining. .May Declare Martial Uir, Count Wltte and his cabinet were In ses sion throughout the afternoon and evening discussing the situation and a number of prominent Uberuls were culled In fo;- con sultation. Grand Duke Nicholas was present part f tha time. The possibility that the goverc ment might be compelled. If the situation grew worse, to declare martial law it, El. Petersburg was considered, but 8 far ax has been learned no definite decision in this matter was reached. While the League of Leagues is deposed to back up the strike, the workmen are un doubtedly alienating much public sympathy by their recklessness. Many liberals openly declare that the strike Is a tactical blunder 1 which may prove dlsuutruus. hut their tem perate counsel is rejected. In government circles It is recognized that the situation In Poland requires a skill ful hand at the helm. Governor General Sea Ion probably will be replaced by a man of Count Wltte's choice. The name of Gen eral M entity is mentioned iu this connec tion, but It Is doubtful if he will accept tho i. Dire under present conditions. In response to Inquiries Count W ine ia aid to have reiterated his assurances that tl.e Jewish question will be referred to the IViumu for settlement, and he Is also said lo have declared that the emperor's will for the realisation of the reforms an- final action.

A delegate to rongress will le sent to Washington In order to have questions affecting the future cf the Island discussed before the house of representatives. Ignoring Cuban author ity. Mass meetings were held under the name of territorial conventions and officials, were appointed to fill all position's except those that must be named by the president under the constitution of the I'nlted States. The first officers of the new territory are: V. T. Anderson, sreretary of stale; ,lnm M. Ptetre, treasurer; K1 C. Ryan, delegate to congress; A. T. Frkse. chief Justice; David B. Wall, sheriff. The convention divided the Island Into five districts and ordered elections to be held to select members tf the legislature which Is to convene next week; tax asses sors and collectors, tine ticket was named In each district, the only political question being to place the Island under the Stars and Stripes. The election Is proceeding In a quiet ninnner, the nun oh the different tickets announcing that they will take office Immediately, without regord to those serv ing under the Cuban government.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. It has been known for several months that American residents in the Isle of Pines were becom ing restive under Cuban control, but no Intimation had been received in official cir cles here that they Intended to resort to radical measures to assert what they be. lleved t'o be' their rights as American ryu sent. , The announcement that at mass meet ings of residents of the Island delegates were chosen to come to Washington to antagonise the treaty pending before the senate for the formal transfer or the Island to tho republic nf Cuba was not surprising to administration officials, but surprise was creattd at the reported erec tion of a territorial government on tho Island and the selection of Important offi cials to administer the affairs of that government. It can be said that the would-be seceders will receive no encouragement from the administration. Secretary Root, when he was secretary of war. was very clear and emphatic on the points "that the Isle of Fines belonged to Cuba as a matter of right, as a mater of International law and as a matter of Justice;" furthermore, that In procuring naval stations In Cuba for the I'nlted States, there was a general understanding that the Isle of Pines was to be ceded to Cuba, although Its title had been in doubt. Senor Quesada. the Cuban minister here, called at the State department today and seerrcd to bo considerably agitated over the news of tho movement In the Isle of Pines to oppose the formal transfer of the Island to Cuba. He had an Interview on the sub ject with Secretary Root, but declined to NATIONAL GRANGE IN SESSION (irssil Master tsron Junes Heeom uiends si nnibr of Stw Uni In Ills Annual Address. ATLANTIC CITY.

Much Interest Is manifested In the re port of the executive (ommlttee, which will probably be presented to the convention tomorrow. The Inst convention referred to this committee a question of national in surance for the giiinae.
