STORMY SESSION Of MODERATE LEADERS Demand That Rebels I.uy Dona Arms Abandoned After Acrlmonloai . Debate aerretary Taft la Optimistic. HAVANA, Sept. The govt1; nment party tonight abandoned its baste conten tion that it la Impossible to treat for peace with armed rebels, and proposed to negotiate directly with a committee of lt opponent. It la agreed to leave all points upon which understanding la, not reached to tha Anal arbitration of Secretary Taft and Bacon. The government Itrst sug gested that it would treat with the llo erala if they would lay down their arms, but the American commissioners ruled that this stipulation was unfair and the moderate representatives accepted this view. ; While this phase of the contro versy was wholly unexpected, Scret- Taft waa greatly pleased therewith , Ntuated by a spirit or revenge for the re made the' following statement for ', arrests of Finnish refugee In Stock- ration: "My Impression is that we an? mi'ev nearer a aointlnn nf the trouhle lonlarlit t than we were lust nlaht." i i It was announced also that the nego tiations to be opened between the com-I mlttees representing the opposing parties would be without reference to the- terms previously proposed. The time and place for the first meeting is to be determined by Secretary Taft tomorrow. Iltintatnm from 1'nlted States. It ta beyond question that both parties were brought to a more tractable frame of mind by the verbal ultimatum Issued by Taft and Bacon today In the name of President Roosevelt, that unless they con sent, to a fair arbitration the United (States must compel the same by a tem porary military occupation. Such an oc cupation, It was declared, would not mean American sovereignty.. Io would continue only until new elections had been held, the new government firmly 1 established and order restored.' Within an hour of the receipt of thia ultimatum the moderate assembly agreed, at the end of a stormy session, to a sug gestion of treating with the liberals, the conservative moderates threatened the disruption of the party unless the radicals consented to treat ..with the American commission and this also is believed to have had an Important bearing upon the moderate ceoision. .- It la understood tonight, jjiaf President Jfaftn ddes not , Intend to' withdraw his resignation, but It is predicted that congress Will table it Indefinitely. .The decree con vening congress on Friday for the purpose of acting upon the resignations of the presi dent, vice president and other was Issued today, "-...''.' ' . B tor my. Session of Moderates. ( A meeting of the Moderate National as sembly waa hastily called this afternoon to . discuss the pressing question whether aomo way could not yet be devised to settle the present difficulty without the threatened American intervention. The meeting was held at the residence of Senor Dots, presi dent of the senatf. More than sixty per sons were present. They Included Vice President Mendes Capote, nearly all the member of the cabinet and almost all the leading senator and representatives. No sooner had the meeting artoembled than the pent-up Indlgutlon again the American peace commissioner broke forth. Several men began tn loud voices and at the -samo time to- condemn Secretary Taft and Act ing Secretary of State Bacon, who were declared to have shown partiality In back ing the rebels and discrimination against the moderate side of the controversy. The speaker shouted denunciations against the American government and hotly instated tf; it -the moderate party should appeal tot the powers of the world for protection against the usurpation of the sovereignty of Cuba by the United States. - It was declared that, the government forces should fight to the death rather than submit to tho terms Inflated upon by the rebels imd one speaker depicted tb horrors of negro domination which , would result he said, from the threatened liberal ascend ancy brought about with-the alleged assist ance nf the United States. . Some of the moot radical present asserted that the government had plenty of dynamite In Havana, which would be used to precipitate those International complications that ac crue from the destruction of foreign prop erty. Several prominent men said that by using dynamite they could bring about Intervention by Germany," or perhaps by Great Britain, while other rashly declared that they knew that the foreign diplomat here would favor such course and It was urged that the destruction of the German bank and the damaging of English railroad property would avion result In European Intervention. Certain American properties were sprclflrally mentioned aa convenient for such attacks. Several speaker said they would prefer1 Germany or Great Brit ain In Cuba than the United States. Bfontalvo Sent to 'mft. This talk subsided after an hour and a half, and the meeting then aettled down to tbe question whether it was not possible to reopen the negotiation with the peace immlssloners. The One mint timn whh'h the meeting was unanimous was that the j arcinal nonunion or tne reopening or n gotlallons wa that the moderates should!

LABOR TEXTBOOK IS ISSUED Committee of America) Federation Ontllnes Finns for the Cong-res slonal Cnmpnlgrn. . WASHINGTON. Sept. .-The American Federation of Labor today Istucd Its politi cal textbook for the pending congressional campaign. The publication Js a 'modest pamphlet of thirty-eight pages and con sists of a re-publication of "labor's bill of grievances" of last March; an explana tion of the origin and purpose of the federation, togctliet with a history of its efforts to secure legislation. A history of the use of the power of Injunction in the United States courts, an explanation of the eight-hour law a dissertation on con vict labor, and an announcement of the campaign program., Under the last mentioned heading la found the following recommendations: We recommend that central bodies and local unions proceed without delay by the election of delegates to meet in conference or In convention, to formulate plans to further the Interests of this movement and at the proper time and in the proper man ner nominate candidate who will unques tionably stand for tne enartment into law of lubor and progressive measures. The first concern of all should he the positive tlefeat of those who have bten hostile or indifferent to the Just demands of labor. A stinging rebuke to them will benefit not only the tollers, but the people of tho ntlre country. Wherever both partle ignore labor's demands a straight labor candidate should be nominated, no that honest men may have the opportunity of exorcising their franchise, to vote their conscience Instead of being compelled either to refrain from voting or to vote foe the. candidate and the party they must in their Innermost soul despise. Where a consrresaman or state lcglslntor has proved himself a true friend to c rights of labor he should be supported ,.,d no candidate nominated against him. Where it is apparent that an entirely In dependent labor candidate cannot be elected, efforts should be made to secure audi sup port and Indorsement of candidates by the minority party In the district, and by such other progressive elements as will insure the election ofjatxii representatives. Attention is called to the recent elec tion of fifty-four trad unionists as mem bers of the British Parliament and Ameri can worklngmen are. advised that they are Just as capable of serving the country in a legislative capacity as are their fellows across the water. The appeal continues: - Labor ' men oftertf underestimate -their own ability and look: up to those who are members of congress aa mortals of greatly superior qualities. 1( Is true that many of our congressmen are brilliantly brainy, but their brilliancy too often consists of tricky device by which the people are hood winked, cajoled . and cheated out of their rights. . The Inauguration of thla pragram is at tributed by the tex'tbook to the failure of the president and congress to give proper consideration to the "bill of grievances." The membership of the federation Is placed at 3,000,000. . CANNON SPEAKS AT ST. JOSEPH Speaker Says President Roosevelt Can Be Depended 't'pon to OItC Cubans gqnaro Deal. ' ' i . , ' W I ST.

Cannon called attention to the growth of the United States under repub lican rule and he dwelt upon the hiatus of Cleveland's second term.

"I don't say that, - I merely say that this government Is pledged to maintain law and order there, and we'll take such steps as are necessary to do that. .1 don't know what steps maybe nec essary,, and don't wish to diseuss them.

VAN AI.STYNE For Attorney General. .JULIUS M. MAYER SARATOGA. N. Y.. Sept. 2.-Expedltlon marked the second and final day of the republican state convention. From early this morning, when It became known that Charles E. Hughes of New York would be nominated for governor by acclamation, the other proceedings practically became formal and were pushed to completion wtth the utmost speed. The selection of the remainder' of the ticket and the choice of a new state chairman were ' accomplished before the convention assembled, and it only remained for the convention to ratify all that had been arranged and to adjourn. The session of the convention lastad about two hours and In that time the permanent organisation wa effected, the chairman, State Senator W. W. Armstrong of Roches ter, dellveied Ills' speech, the credentials committee reported and its report was agreed" to, the -platform wa ' read and adopted and a complete state ticket nomi nated. The speech of the permanent chalrrvin waa largely a review of the state con dition. General Stewart L. Woodford, former United State minister df Spain, reported from the committee on resolu tions, of which her waa chairman. He read the platform, which empnaalsed the cardinal feature of republicanism and the features of Its party administrations both state and national. Mention of Presi dent Roosevelt In the resolutions and in speeches evoked applause. Brevity, was an appreciated feature of the nominating speeches, while the principal speech, in which Job Hedges bf .New York, placed Charles E. Hughes in nomination " for governor was the most interesting event of the proceedings. ' ' Parsons Nominates Brnce.- Representative Herbert Parsons made the speech proposing the renomlnation of Lieutenant Governor M. Linn Bruce, the man he had kept from the head of the ticket and whom he -praised highly. Events leading up to the nominations today- were interesting and Involved innum erable conferences throughout the night. When the opposition to Hughes found H ' impossible, or at least Inadvisable to nominate Bruce for governor, and began seeking elsewhere for a candidate, defeat for the old-time leaders and victory for the new and almost unknown leaders followed almost immediately and awtftly, The understood preference of President Roosevelt for Hughes and the declaration of Governor Hlgglns . that ha ' was not opposing that preferred candidate' contrib uted matorJaUy to tbe result, bat all this woukt- hava seen ' wnavaUlng had OIL- 4 been for ..the decided . stand, which air. Parsons maintained from the time he ar rived . In Karl toga Sintll the. opposition to hi candjdacy crumbled to dust. . Temporary Chairman Driacoll called the republican atate convention to order to day a little after the appointed time. State Senator W. ,W, Armatrong of Rochester waa unanimously elected permanent chairman, and on , assuming the gavel poke at considerable length on the ie spectlve records of , the democratic and republican parties in the administration of state and national affairs. The com mittee on resolutions then made its re port, which was adopted without dissent. The Platform. The platform begins as follows: Assembled as delegates to the repub lican state convention, we, gladly record our pride and confidence . In President Roosevelt.

The people are congratulated that the direct atate tax has been abolished snd that the fiscal year closes with a working balance in the state treasury of more than 810,800,000. On' Btn4e Issues. .

Th wisdom of the protective tariff 1 affirmed and It 1 demanded "that It revi sion, as i occasion may require, be en trusted to ita friend and not to' its enemies.
