OCEAN RATE WAR. Vlo-rous Cnttlnr? by New York-South African Lines. NEW YORK. Nov. 20. Rival steamship lines plying between New York and South Africa are waging a vigorous war In rates. Today a ton of general cargo can be shipped from Cape Town for les3 money than a merchant can bring half a ton of potatoes to this city from the Carollnas.. The rate on general cargo to the South African ports has been cut re peatedly until now it is only $2 43 a ton. including all the expenses of loading and unloading. The fight of the steamship concerns began last July, and not only has it been of advantage to those shippers who al ready had business relations with South Africa, but it caused new interests to be come concerned in the trade to that country. At least six steamships sail on the rival lines every month. Tfle traffic to Cape Town and neighboring ports va ries between 42.000 and 50.000 tons annually, ' but is growing rapidly, and some of those N interested claim that money is being made even at the cut rates. The principal articles of export are foodstuffs, oats. hay. lumber, kerosene, machinery and miscellaneous small wares. UPPER RIVER IMPROVEMENT. Bids Opened for Supplying Rock for Independence Riprap.

The Presi dent's homeward journey today was with out special Incident. The ride across the mountains over the Southern Railway wa,s made in fast time. The train stopped only to change crews and engines. Its coming was generally unheralded, but there was a small crowd at almost every station. Several times the train was cheered, as it swept by. At Chattanooga the President received a telegram from Newport, Tenn., saying that the school children would turn out to see him. By his direction the train was slowed down when that place was reached. About 200 children with flags In their hands were lined up along the track. The President stood on the rear platform and waved his hand and hat to them. At Stevenson, Ala., early this morning, about 50 children gathered around his car. and begged the porter to let them see the President. The Presi dent, who had just ris2n, heard their cries, and, rather than disappoint them, he stepped to the door in his stocking feet and sold "Good morning" to them. At Owltah Junction, where the train stopped for water, a tall, raw-boned moun taineer engaged the President In conver sation. The Tcnnessccan remarked that the bears in Mississippi had proved too wild for the President. "Perhaps they were domestic bears and took to the woods upon my arrival," replied the Presi-ent smiling. At Unionvllle, the President shook hands with the sister of the Lieutenant-Colonel of his regiment. The President will reach .Washington tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. RUN THROUGH TENNESSEE.

The train had just 'stopped for water at Stevenson, a small place 40 miles west of Chattanooga, and the school children and half the pop ulation were at the station. The Presi dent heard their calls and came out of his stateroom In his stocking feet to-say good morning. An amusing incident occurred at Mem phis last night, just before the train left. Peter Tracy, one of the local characters of Memphis, who1 had followed the Presi dent's carriage all day, set off a lot of red fire in the station, and when the illu mination was at its height he presented the President with a box of roses. "Take these to the White House," said he, "and present them to your superior ofilcer, Mrs. Rocsevelt." The President laughed heartily and promised to do so. The train 'reached Chattanooga on time at 3:40, and stopped five minutes to change engines. There was quite a crowd at the station. The President left the train. and shook hands with a number of friends who were there to greet him. The train will go , straight through to Washington over the Southern Railway without stopping. The train will reach Washington at S o'clock tomorrow morn ing. FOR NATIONAL AGREEMENT Founders Frown on Local Labor Ar rangements No Shorter Day. DETROIT. Nov. 20.

TURNS After Long: Debate the Defeat Was Accomplished by the Close Vote of 4744 to 4344. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20. Tho Socialists came within 400 votes of securing control of the convention of the American Feder ation of Labor today. The struggle lasted nearly all day, and a number of able speeches were made on both sides, notably those of D. A. Hayes, James Duncan and President Gompers agalnat the Socialists, and Victor Berger, Max Hayes and W. B. Wilson, of the United Mineworkers. in be nalf of the resolution In their favor In troduced by Delegate Bergcr and amended by Delegate Wilson In a manner accept able to Berger. The debate lasted until 6 o'clock this evening, when a roll-call showed 4744 votes against the amendment of Mr. Wilson and 4344 In favor of it. The miners voted solidly in favor of the amendment. No business was transacted in the con vention during the day other than that of the debate and the report of the com mittee which investigated the Gompers Shaffer trouble. Shnffer Filed No Chnrges. President Gompers has been completely exonerated of the charges of Infidelity to the principles of trades-unionism said to have been made" by Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tinworkers. The spe cial committee which has conducted the investigation reported that when Mr. Shaf fer appeared before it he declared that he had not at any time, either in writing or otherwise, made any charges against Mr. Gompers of infidelity to trades-unionism, nor did he desire to before the committee. P. J. Sheridan, who introduced the resolution which resulted In the investi gation, was asked at the hearing if It 3f D3 3 mi was true that Mr. Shaffer made any charges before the last convention of the Iron, Steel and Tinworkers against Mr. Gompers, and he replied that he had. Mr. Shaffer denied it. Tho convention decided that the question of veracity be tween Ir. Shaffer and Mr. Sheridan was something with which it had nothing to do, and there being no charges against Mr. Gompers, there was npthing to do but return, a finding to the effect that Mr. Gompers was completely exonerated. This was done, and the report was adopted by the convention. For the time being, at least, all oppo sition to the election of Mr. Gompers has died out. Since the refusal of James Lynch, of the Typographical Union, to run for the office, no further effort has been made to secure a candidate, nor Is It likely at tho present time that there will be a rival candidate. The convention entered upon an ex tended debate, in which at times con siderable feeling was shown, on the res olutions Introduced by Victor L. Bergcr. of Milwaukee, committing the convention to the doctrines -of socialism. The com mittee cn resolutions reported, as a simi lar committee h3d reported nt the Scran ton convention, that the principles of the trades movement contain all that Is nec essary for the advancement of the workingmen of the country. Delegate Max Hnvrs offered a substitute for the report to the effect that the Fed eration advises the working people to organize their economic and political power to secure for labor the full equiva lent of Its toil and the overthrew of the wage system, and establishing an Indus trial, co-operative democracy. The sub stitute was ruled out of order by the chair as being a substitute for the re port of the committee, which was a sub stitute for the original resolution. Dele gate Hayes then offered it nr an amend ment, and it was so accepted by the chair. From 2 o'clock inthe afternoon until 5:40 the debate went on. President Gompers being the last speaker. He urged the union men to adhere closely to union principles, declaring that their success would be greater than It would if they followed any other plan than that under which they were organized. . A motion made by Delegate Harter to lay the matter on the table was lost. A roll-call was demanded, the vote being on the adoption of the Wilson amendment to the Bergcr resolution. It was lcot by a vote of 4744 to 4314. SIGN IX A BODY. Inacpcnflcnt Mine Employes" Agree to Be Peaceful. HAZLETON. Pa.. Nov. 20. The trouble at the Cranberry and Crystal Ridge col lieries of A.

People are always quick to- recognize and eager to take advantage of whatever secures to them an unusual value for the amount they Invest. The club plan In operation now at Ellers Piano Housi. through which individual purchasers may secure the very best pianos made at prac tically wholesale prices, has touched pros pective buyers on a practical spot, and converted many who thought they really could not afford the kind of piano they wanted. The clubs have, therefore, been filling rapidly, and pianos have been sold In the city and outside in astonishingly large numbers. All oyr own drays and a number of Holmnn's big delivery wagons have been kept busy hauling pianos away from our warerooms to the homes of pur chasers, and also delivering them to rail way stations and to steamboat landings. For the piano club news has spread all over the country, and applications for membership come pouring in with every mail. The plan Is so practical, the saving so apparent, the deal so fair and the prin ciple so simple, that it is easily comore her.ded and quickly taken advantage of. The demand Is not only for medlum prjeed instruments. Many of the very hip-he3t-priced, fancy-carvod casings are also largely sought. On these pianos there Is a saving of from 5150 to ?17o. On cheaper. Instruments the saving Is pro portionately great.
