Congress Two hundred and eighty"
Of five delegates, representing
Labor., more than 1,500,000 of
workmen, responded to the
roll cal at the opening session at Scran
ton, Pa., yesterday. It was the begin
ning session of the twenty-first annual
Convention of the American federation
,0f labor, which was called to order by
President Samuel Gompers in St.
Thomas college hall at 10:30 o'clock this
morning. The convention Is said to
have been the convention of work men
ever held in this country. Organiza
tion, settlement of questions involving
comested seats, and the reading of an
nual report of the president, secretary
and treasurer, took up the entire session
of the convention. Daring the course of
the day there was one surprise sprung
on the delegates and one important de
cision was also made. The surprise
came in the form of an objection to the
Beating of the United Mineworktrs dele
gate, and the important question de
cided related to the contested seat ol the
delegate from the central labor union of
Kichmond Va., which body refused to
admit negro workmen to its organization.
In the United States senate, Senator

Princely A dwpatoh to the centra 1
news, London, from Amstordpm says
that Major Vi-n Tets died Thursday
evening. Maj Van Tets was wounded
In defense m Queen Wilheln ina by
Prince Henry, or, as all Dutchmen now
contemptnously call him, "The Ger
man." Van lets was one of the noble
youthswho formed the body guard of
the smiling young Queen when she was
married in February, and who have
since been at their royal mistress' beck
and call on every occasion. They pride
themselves in their iservitude, and in
this matter-of-fact 20th century their
chivalrouB devotion to Queen Wilhel
miua is-a pretty thing to see. It is
whispered that every man of the 10
handsome youths who surround her
majesty's carriago when ' she drives
abroad, skate with her when she skates,
ride with her when she rides and dunce
attendance or her generally, has been at
one time or an-h-r hrnul over ears in
love with the dainty little lady in whom
Holland's hones are centered. Official
contradictions, notwithstanding, no
body at The Hague doubts for a moment
that the queen and her consort have
practically been at loggerheads ever
since the wedding. Prince Henry is an
unpleasant person. He eats too mucti,
drinks too frvely, and hnnting occupies
him far more than his wife, and Wil
helmina on her side is not a woman to
allow herself to be neglected with im
punity. It is said that she stanched
Van Tet's wound with her hands and
insisted on her husband begging the
pardon of the jokhnerr as well as her
self before she would forgive him. All
the romance of the marriage of Wilhel-
mma and the man Bue herself chose has
disappeared.
The senate committee on foreign rela
tions voted to report the canal treaty

from which he died Boon after being ta
ken to the hospital. Engineer William
H. White was badly scalded, but is ex

gers or other memberB of the train crew
received any injuries. An open Bwitch
caused the accident, and it was owing
to the prompt efforts of the engineer,
that the entire train did not go out on
the sido track and become a total
wreck, resulting in much loss of life.

Favored A program of protest
The against British methods in
Boers. in the South African war
was carried out in the audi
torium in Chicago last night before a
large audience. Following an eloquent
address by W. Bourke Cochran and
earnest speeches by others, resolutions
for the appointment of a committee to
bring the sentiments of the meeting be
fore the president were adopted. Al
though an admission nas charged, the
funds being intended to aid the Boers,
and especially their women and child
ren, standing room was at a premium,
and many were unable to gain admit
tance. The annual report of Professor Willis
Moore, chief of the United States
