The motion was vigorously cheered and Jnhan sen was requested to put It in writing and present It later to tbe convention for action. Letters were read from Governor J. F. McDonald of Colorado, the Denver Board of Trade and business and labor organisa tions, Inviting the federation to meet next year In Denver. The letters were referred. W. Moaner, fraternal delegate from the British Labor Trades' Council, was then Introduced and addressed the convention at length on the labor situation In Eng land. Mr. Mosser delivered an Interesting ad dress concerning labor conditions scross the sea, during which he was interrupted by a cry of "fire." Immediately the delegates in the rear of the hall rushed for the doors.. The panic was greatly Increased when the rear doors were thrown open and disclosed that the decoration of the vestibule and stairs lead ing to the street were In flames. President Gompers rapped loudly for order and the delegates became calm. The fire originated from some unknown cause, but was quickly extinguished by the janitor. i ' . . Adjournment was taken until t o'clock. Aid for Women Workers. Miss Mary E. McDowell, president of the Women's Trade Union league and Miss Gertrude Barnum, secretary, both of Chi cago, addressed the convention at the after noon session. Both the women made an earnest plea., for the adoption of a resolu tion presented by Thomas L Kidd, re questing that congress make an appropria tion to be used to Investigate the conditions existing among the women workers In the United Btatea. , Miss McDowell said tlere wore 2.0O0.000 women hi this country who were compelled to make their own living. The members of the union at present are not as helpful to these as- they should be, she said, but as female- toilers had to work, they must either be co-operatives wUh.the federation members or competitors. The resolution was adopted. Will ICdaeat-Prearhers. . Rev. Btels of Chicago, superintendent of the department of church and labor of the Presbyterian Church of America, then ad dressed the convention. . Rev. Btels then spoke -of trade unionism and Ita relation to the church. ' He said: The organised church and organised labor stand for the same principles. If 1 thought the church did not stand for these prin ciples I would abandon It Immediately. Trade unionism has accomplished much for the people of this country and while I un derstand that untonlHfn is responsible for a number of evils, its good deeds overshadow all the evil ones. The ministers of the church are not well enough acquainted with unionism and Its principles, and I will say now that it will be mv alia to teach the preachers of the Presbyterian faith In tills country more about the ethics of unionism In the next year. David Gllmour of Scotland and William V. Todd of Toronto, Canada, also ad dressed the convention. The motion presented at the morning ses sion declining the $100 offered by H. C. Frick for the entertainment of the delegates while In this city was withdrawn this afternoon by Delegate Johanssen. He announced he had learned that the money had not yet been presented and that It would be re jected when It was offered, and for this rea son withdrew the motion. President Gom pers said the delegates would be entertained at the Grand opera bouse this evening. The convention adjourned at I o'clock until to morrow In order to give , the committees additional time to prepare their reports. ftrala Blockade at Kareka. ABERDEEN. 8. D.. Nov. lS.-(Special.)

PANIC ON ST. PETERSBURG BOURSE False Report that Dictator Mad Been Appointed Rends Government "ecarltlea Down Many folate. ST. PETERSBURG! Nov. 17.-2:26 a. m. Though. the lndustrln.1 tleup in t?t. Peters burg yesterday was even more complete than It was Wednesday, and though no break hss been manifested In the ranks of the workmen and strikers have broken out at Moscow and Reval. the most Important feature of yesterday's developments was the failure of the walkout to spread gen erally outside the capital. The movement apparently lacks the spontaneity and con tsglousness of the last great strike, which broke out at Moscow, and dispatches re ceived from the Industrial centers of Rus sia up to this hour show little Inclination on the part of the workmen to take up cudgels In behalf of Poland. The factory strike at Moscow, which has assumed considerable proportions, probably 46,000 men being out. has no direct connec tion with the St. Petersburg walkout, and dispatches from the eld capital say that the railroad men received the request of the St. Petersburg strike' committee coldly. The whole great network of railroads cen tering at Moecow, except the St. Peters burg, line Is still In operation. At Reval the employes of the railroad shops struck, but the reason for the strike Is not stated. Good Order la St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg yesterday passed with complete order. Patrols were visible in nil tho Industrial quarters and Cossacks were trotting up and down the Nevsky prospoot among the swiftly dashing carriages and sleighs, but the workmen. In obedience to the orders of the strike committee, kept generally Indoors and did not .attempt demonstrations, so that there was no oc casion for a resort to force to avert trouble. The strikers forced the closing of the Moscow railroad station early yesterday afternoon, stopping outgoing traffic for Moscow, and at 10 o'clock last night thpy finally succeeded in closing the electric sta tions and In cutting off light from the city. There is a betterment of the agrarian con ditions. Dispatches from Kusk. Poltavla, Rluan. Samara and other provinces continue to re port tho spread of disorders, which In Tol tava are taking an antl-Jewlsh turn. How ever, the imperial manifesto regarding the distribution of the crown domains, which by strenuous work was finished last night, will be Issued early this morning, and the emperor and Count Wltte hope it will tend to pacify .the peasants and have an Import ant tactical effect on the coming struggle with the socialists and other antl-govern-ment forces In tho elections for the Doumn. Paalc on Rasalan Bosrie, A panic prevailed on the Bourse today as the result Of a rumor that Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholalevltch. commander of the Imperial Guards, had been appointed mili tary dictator. There was a stampede of holders of Industrial stocks who hastened to unload. Government lotteries fell 25 points to 400 and ImperiRt 4s dropped to 83li, a lower point than touched at any time during the war. There was an Immense meeting of work men and Polish sympathisers at the new theater on the Moka canal this evening. An overflow meeting was held outside. Members of the' Polish delegations spoke In a very temperate tone, declaring that Po land did not aoeeeptraUon, knowing that ah Independent Rotund would be an easy prey for Germany. ' They wanted and be lieved they were entitled to autonomy and asked the aid and 06-ope ration of all be lievers In the principle of self-government. M. Vouch, chief of Premier Witte's chan cellory, authorized the Associated Press to positively deny the rumor' that a dictator had been appointed. He also declared that it had not been decided to declare martial law In St, Petersburg. Palao Emperor Appears. A false emperor has suddenly made his appearance near Penxa and already his followers number to.OoO. This la the start ling report received this afternoon In a dis patch from Simbirsk. Penxa Is In the heart of the vast region extending westward from the Volga, where .agrarian uprisings on a large scale have been occurring, and If the report turns out to be true that the pre tender to the throne has placed himself at the head of the peasantry the government will soon face, besides its other troubles, a formidable agrarian rebellion. It required a year to suppress the famous rebellion led by PugatichofT, who Impersonated the de throned and murdered Peter HI In the time of Catherine II. That uprising was started In the same region, on the banks of the Volga. None of the papers, except the Official Messenger, appeared this morning, but the printers of each newspaper themselves published fly sheets announcing that the strike was for the purpose of abolishing the state of Beige, the death penalty and martial law throughout Poland. It Is now definitely established that the cry set up by the socialist leaders against the execu tion of the Cronatadt mutineers was pre mature, as their trials have not yet actu ally begun. , Laad I kas ts leased. LONDON, Nov. 176 a. m A dispatch from t. Petersburg to Reuter's Telegram company says that, an Imperial manifesto granting land concessions to the peasants was Issued this morning. By Us terms the land redemption tax payments from January 14, 19ut, will be reduced by one half and from January 14. 1907, the pay ments will be totally abolished. At the same time the capital of tbe Peasants' bank is Increased and the bank Is granted additional' loan privileges with the object of facilitating to the utmost the purchase of lands by peasants. . It ia estimated that the amount of taxation thus lifted from the peasants by the manifesto will aggre gate $40,000,000, while the extension of the Held of operations of the Peasants' bank will enable vast tracts of crown and pri vate lands gradually to become the prop erty of the peasants.

MOODY ON PACKERS' PLEAS Ittorotj Oeoeral Eayi Oarfield Did Hot Prtmitt Imminity to Witneuei. TESTIMONY NOT USED BY GOVERNMENT o . Part of Evidence Sernred the Secretary Was Submitted to the Grand lary. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. -Attorney Gen eral Moody today made a statement with reference to the pleas In bar filed by the defendants In the Indictment against the beef packers pending In the district court at Chicago. He said he believed that the public was entitled to some accurate Information with regard to the facts and thst It could be given without affecting the Interests of the government or Infringing upon the Just rights of the accused. The statement con tinues: Ten separate pleas In bar have been filed, earn of them Alleging facts which it is claimed ought to bar the government from proceeding further in this esse. Eight of these pleas are based on the alleged conduct of Mr. Garfield, commis sioner of corporations, In making an in vestigation of the affairs of the defendants In pursuance of the authority conferred upon him by law, and In special obedience to the resolution of the house of repre sentatives requiring him to make such In vestlgatlon. The resolution under which Mr. Gar field acted Is as follows: "Resolved, That the secretary of com merce and labor be, and he Is hereby, re quested to Investigate the cause of the low prices of beef cattle In the United States since July I, 19o3, and the alleged unusually large margins between the prices of beef cattle snd the selling prices of fresh beef, and whether the said conditions have resulted In whole or In part from any con tract, combination In the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy In restraint of commerce among the several stales and territories or with .foreign countries; also, whether the said prices have been manipu lated In full or In part by any corporation, Joint stock company, or corporation combi nation ensaged in commerce among the several states or with foreign nations; and if so r lnvesfl-o.e the orvanlzntion, capi talisation, profits, conduct, and manage ment of the business of such corporation, companies and corporate combinations, and to make early report of his findings ac cording to law." Pleas of the Parkers. Under the act creating the Department of Commerce and Labor, the commissioner of corporations had the right to subpoena and compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of docu mentary evidence, and to administer oaths; but the regard for all persons who are subpoenaed to testify or to produce docu mentary evidence, It Is provided that Im munity from prosecution shall be given them, if they obey the commissioner's sub poena except that they shall be liable for perjury for giving false testimony. T. . J1. ln bnr "I've In various forms: (1.) That Mr. UarflelAdld compel the sev eral defendants to attend under subpoena and to testify and to produce documents before him. (2.) That he waived the oath which he was authorized to require of them. (3.) That he promised them for what they did with respect to giving of testimony and the production of documents, that they should receive the immunity provided bv law; and, 4.)

Garfleld Testimony Is ot teed. The attorney general asserts In positive terms that none of the Information ob tained by Mr. Garfleld was used before the grand Jury, and further says that he is informed by Mr. Oarfield and believes that at certain stages of the Investigation the defendants declined to give Information unless they were put In a position to ob tain the immunity provided by the act of congress and required by the constitution of the United State, and that when such Instances occurred, acting after conference with the attorney general, Mr. Garfield ab stained from pursuing the Inquiry further and made no other attempt to obtain In formation, documentary or otherwise, along these lines. After full conference with Mr. Garfleld the answer of the government will be pre pared by Mr. Pagin, under the supervision of the attorney general and with the as sistance of the district attorney, and will be taken to Chicago and filed In the court there next week. . No Papers Were Seised. The seventh plea In bar urges that the government unlawfully seised certain pa pers of the defendants and submitted them to the grand Jury contrary to. the rights conferred upon them by the constitution. The government denies that It obtained any reports otherwise than by the orderly process of subpoena directed to the person who had the custody of them. The eighth plea sets up as a defense the fact that the government heretofore pro- ! ceeded against the defendants by a petition under tne Sherman art under wliun peti tion an Injunction against the continuance of the combination was issued about three years ago and was affirmed laat winter by the unanimous opinion of the supreme court, the attorney general himself having personally argued the case for the govern ment In that court, and claims that by tak ing this action the government elected to pursue the civil remedies and Is disbarred from resorting to a prosecution under the criminal provision of the anti-trust law. The government admits the facts, but contends that they constitute no bar to the criminal prosecution. The answer prepared by the government will raise a mixed Issue of law and fact to be determined, not by the attorney gen eral or the district attorney, but by the court In which the proceedings are pending. The government will reBlst these pleas and demand a speedy trial of them, but the attorney general refrains from express ing an opinion on them, aa it would be obviously Improper for him to do so while the questions are pending in the district court.
