"WASHINGTON, Oct C The executive council of the American Federation of Labor began a "week's session here today. The report of the secretary-treasurer showed the American Federation of Labor to be In excellent condition; that an in crease of more than 200,000 members had been gained In. the last four months; that the official magazine, the American Fed sratlonlst. Is on a sound basis, financially and otherwise; that there are now more than 900 volunteer organizers throughout the country, and 30 salaried organizers directly employed by the American Fed eration of Labor, and 240 organizers em ployed by affiliated National unions. Reports were received from various or ganizations. Indicating their progress and growth, the most Interesting report being that of the miners, stating that the situa tion of the strike is well in hand, that the response for financial aid Is fairly good, and urging further contributions to main tain families of the men on strike. The International Longshoremen's As sociation made application for a new charter under the name of the Interna tional Longshoremen, Marine and Trans port "Workers' Association of .America Inasmuch as this would extend Its jur isdiction to trades and occupations already organized, and which have protested against the change In title and Jurisdic tion, the petition was denied. Men Who Desire to Work ' Will be Protected, NO DISORDER TO BE ALLOWED Roosevelt Is Still Hopefnl Labor Commissioner Wright 'Meets Mitchell and Sargent Starts on the Same Mission. The strength of the National Guard of Pennsylvania is 11,000 men. It is com posed of 14 regiments of Infantry, four troops of cavalry and three batteries of artillery, one of the latter being armed with 3.2-lnch field pieces, another with machine guns, and the third with auto matic guns. of the calling out of the eatlre State. Guard caused a mild sensation among those gathered al strike headquarters, but apparently the least perturbed were Pres ident Mitchell and the three district pres idents. There was a crowd in" the lobby of the Hart Hotel, and as soon as the miner' chief came down the stairs with his traveling bag in hand, he was asked for an opinion on the action of Governor Stone. He at first declined, but a moment later, as he pushed his way through the throngs, he exclaimed: '"If they call all the troops out In the United States, it won't make the men go to work." President .Nicholls said: "Nothing' has arisen to warrant the calling out of more troops; but If they are not used for any unlawful purpose, their presence In the coal fields cannot do us any harm." District President Duffy remarked that "the troops are not needed. I protested to Governor Stone when they were or dered to the district; and I am still of the same mind." PresiBent Fahcy said: "I do not see the necessity for calling out more troops, -unless It be for the, purpose of boosting the operators' side of the struggle." The news of the calling out of all the troops was received so late that opinion could not be had fro.m all the coal offl- "clals in this vicinity. President Mitchell, accompanied by the district presidents, left for Buffalo at 11:45 P. M. over the Lehigh Valley Rail road. There they will meet a committee of the National Association of Manufac turers, and will try to devise some plan for bringing the strike to an' end. At Buffalo the miners will be joined by Na tional Secretary-Treasurer "Wilson. A large crowd saw Mr. Mitchell and his col- WIPED OUT BY FIR Business Part of Gervais Suffers $50,000 Loss. BLAZE OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN General Corbin and John W. Gates Ran An to Too Fast in London. LONDON, Oct. 6. General Corbin, Gen eral Young and John "W. Gates have had an unpleasant experience with the English motor laws. Both on Saturday and Sun day they were driving a car which was stopped by the police, who summoned the Americans for exceeding 12 miles an hour. The car In each Instance was a. fast, new vehicle. Just purchased by Sir Thomas LIpton, who had lent It to Mr. Gates to Bhow the Generals around the country. On Saturday they were driving through Windsor when a policeman arrested the chaffeur and took the names and addresses of Mr. Gates and General Toung, who were the occupants of the car, and Sun day the same party, with General Corbin. was nearlng Brighton, when a policeman stepped out of a hedge and stopped the car. When the summonses are called up no defense will be made, for, as one of the Americans said: "The police have got you at their mercy. You may be morally sure that you were not driving at over the speed limit, but that is ineffective against the police with their stop watches. Volcano Shows Increased Activity. HONOLULU. Sept 30, via San Fran cisco, Oct. 6. Reports from the Island of Hawaii are to the effect that the volcano cf Kilaue showed Increased activity last week, the display of lava and fire being noticeable especially on "Wednesday even' ilia-. HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. .6. Governor Stone, late tonight, ordered out the Pennsylvania to duty In the anthracite entire division of the National Guard of regions. The soldiers will be in the field tomorrow. The order calling out the guard is as follows: "In certain portions of the Counties of Luzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, Northumberland and Cum berland tumults and riots frequently oc cur. Men who desire to work have been beaten and driven away, and their fam ilies threatened. Railroad trains have been threatened and stoned, and the tracks torn up. The civil authorities are unable tb maintain order, and have called upon the Governor and Commander-in- Chief, of the National Guard for troops. The situation grows mere serious each day. The territory involved Js. so exten sive -that tlie troops now on duty are' in structed to prevent all disorder. The Major-General commanding will place the entire division on duty, distributing such localities as will render them most ef fective "for preserving the public .peace. "As tumults, riots, mobs and disorder usually occur when men attempt to work In and about the coal mines, he will see that all men who desire to work and their families have ample protection. He will protect all trains and other property from unlawful Interference, and will arrest all persons engaging In acts of violence and Intimidation, and hold them' under guard until their release would not endanger the public peace, and will see that the threats. intimidations, assaults and all acts of violence cease at once. The public peace and good order will be preserved upon all occasions throughout the several coun ties, and no interference whatever be per mitted with officers and men in the dis charge of duty under this order. The dig nity and authority of the state must be maintained, and her power to suppress all lawlessness within her borders be assert ed." The formal order was given out at the Executive Mansion shortly before 11 o'clock tonight by Private Secretary Ger- wig. Governor Stone called a conference of the general officers of the guard, at which it was decided to put the troops in the field. The canvas and other camp equipment Will be shipped from the State Arsenal, and It Is expected that all the troops will be In the field within 24 hours. Lieutenant-Colonel Elliott, Assistant Adjutant-General of the Pennsylvania National Guard, arrived In Harrlsburg this afternoon from Philadelphia, and met Lieutenant-Colonel Richardson, keeper of the State Arsenal, at the Commonwealth Hotel, and went from there to the Ex "ecutive Mansion to meet Governor Stone. Colonel Elliottsaid his visit had nothing to do with the coal strike situation; that he was simply here on military matters. Colonel Richardson had with him a pack age, which, it is believed, contained blue prints of the coal regions. Miners Are Much Surprised. WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct. 6. The news Stone Silent on Extra Session. HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 6. Governor Stone will neither affirm nor deny the report from Washington that he has been asked by President Roosevelt to call an extra session of the General Assembly to settle the coal strike. He still declines to discuss the situation or the prospects of an "early settlement of the differences be tween the operators and miners. ROOSEVELT'S FLAX THE SAME.

The business district of Gervais was reduced to ashes In a destructive fire last night that entailed a less approximating $50.0C0. Very little of the property that was de stroyed was insured. The fire, which was of incendiary origin, started at 10:S0 o'clock Sunday evening, in Thompson's confectionery store. In the McKInley itchell building, and did not exhaust it self until 6 o'clock this morning. Three solid blocks of business houses were burned. Pechner's general merchandise store, W. Scott Taylor's harness shop and -NibWr's Hotel are the only buslncrs houses that escaped the flames. Two small resi dences were also burned, and the principal residence district had a narrow escape. Cat Off From Outside Aid. TheTnre v?aT"dlscovered when In an in cipient state, but It spread rapidly. The old frame structures, thoroughly dry and seasoned, proved good fuel, and the blaze was soon beyond control. Among the first of the business houses to go was Dr. P. H. Fitzgerald's drug store, in which was located the telephone exchange. A few minutes later the local telegraph service was destroyed by the melting of the wires, and when the seriousness of the"conflagra tion was disclosed the people found them selves cut off from all communication with neighboring towns, and were practically at the mercy of the fleencs. An attempt to communicate with the Salem fire depart ment and procure aid In fighting the fire failed. For protection from fire the city, a few years ago, built a water tower at a cost of $1500, and equipped it with a tank of 12,000 gallons capacity. The tower took fire at the beginning of the fire last night, and was of no assistance to the fire-fighters. An antiquated hand pump and several street cisterns was all that remained with which to battle the fire. In operating the pump, women and young girls volunteered their services. The cisterns finally gave out, and a large bucket brigade being or ganized, water was carried from wells about the town. Heroically did the vol unteers battle against heavy odds. The hotel building, several times ablaze, was saved, although a woodshed that adjoined It not two feet distant, was destroyed Had the hotel burned, the principal resi dence part om the city would have been burned also. Loss Will Asgrresatc $50,000. A true statement of the loss that result ed from the fire cannot be made now, but the total damage will approximate 530,000, With but little insurance. The following statement shows the principal locscs. A. Tanzlcr & Co., general merchandise, SSOOO: insured. James Finney and farmers, warehouse and about 2CO0 bushels of grain: 57300.

The Southern Pacific passenger depot was saved only by the constant attention given by the Japanese section gang, 'it was on fire several times. Melring & Flnr ney's flouring mill had an equally close call. I Four .large warehouses situated on the west side of the Southern Pacific Com pany's track escaped the flames, and this wao one of the fortunate things about the unfortunp" Two of the storehouses were filled with oats, another potatoes. while the fourth contained about $2200 worth of hops. The roof of one of the buildings caught on fire a number of times, but was promptly put out before the fire had gained any headway. Had one of the buildings burned all would have gone, for they were situated close together. The three saloons of the city were all destroyed, but the propriotor of one of three businesses showed-enterprise by re moving his bar into a barn that escaped the flames. Having thus installed himself, he was again dispensing drinks before the ruins of his former place of business had ceased smoldering. The Finney warehouse, which was de stroyed, together with its contents, con tained about 20,030 bushels of wheat and oats and a quantity of baled hay. A con- idcrable amount of the grain !s reported to have been in the warehouse on storage, and belonged to farmers, who are the losers since but little of the grain, if any, was Insured. Sneak Thieves Were Plentiful. During the fire, sneak thicveo were nu merous and in evidence In all sections. For a time they plied their trade profit ably, but several were detected and placed In the City Jail, and their cases await legal consideration. The conflagration of Sunday night was a big misfortune for the enterprising town of Gervais, and the people feel their loss very keenly. But this progressive com munity will not be discouraged by this unwelcome visitation. THey will rebuild Immediately, and will build better than before. The old frame structures that .long since served their time will be re placed by good, substantial business blocks that will be a credit to the enterprise and inogressivencss of the community they will serve.

HONOLULU, Sept. 30, via San Fran cisco, Oct. 6. The initial surveys for a proposed new ditch to supply the planta tions in the center of the Island of Maui with water from Nahlku have bc-en com menced. The new ditch will be 45 miles in length. These men were chosen yesterday by the stockholders of the Fair corporation to complete the membership of the beard of directors. The meeting h3d been ad journed from the regular annual session, which took place July 7. The number of shares of stock represented was 19,223Vj. The total number of shares in the corpora tion ia now 35,561. President H. W. Cor bett presided. The personnel of the board is now com plete. It contains 25 members, 15 of whom have carried forward the Fair project to Its present status As now constituted, the board is mado up of 18; residents of Portland and of seven residents of other towns of Oregon. ,It will- meet Friday- tc effect complete organization.

Mills. G. W. Bates, I. N. Fleischner. W. D. Wheelwright, F. Dresser and W. J). Fenton. The new directors 'had been nominated by the committee on ways and means, and the election went off quickly and unani mously. The meeting devoted only a few minutes to discussion of the nominations.. The plan of electing influential citizens of parts of the state outsideof Multnomah County was looked upon jfs the best way of enlisting the aid of all Oregon In the Fair. Such representation on the legisla tion committee, which Is yet to be ap pointed, was regarded as essential. Inas much as that committee will have the preparation of bills that will go before the Legislature in behalf of the Fair. Three of tho new directors live in East ern Oregon James H. Raley in Umatilla County, J. M. Church in Union, and O. L. Miller in Baker. J. C. Cooper resides In Yamhill County, B. Van Dusen in Clatsop. A. Bush In Marion, and George W. Riddle In Douglas.
