Delegate Spencer, of the United Plumbers' Association, of Chicago, led the forces in the fight against the seating of Delegate Mangan. He alleged that Man gan was a steam fitter in the employ of the City of Chicago, and that his expenses wero paid by the Steam Fitters' Union of that city. The fight was waged long and bitterly on the floor, the question of trade autonomy being involved. As Dele gate Mangan was a member of a labor organization which is under suspension by the American Federation of Labor, it was argued it would be Illegal to seat him. After a fight of two hours on the floor it was proposed to put the vote to a roll calL This was opposed, but finally car ried. The vote stood 7652 for reseating Mangan to 7351 opposed to that action. The "Upholsterers' International Union of North America presented a resolution call ing forja boycott upon the furniture man ufacturers of Grand Rapids. Mich., on ac count of their action in January, 1901, in refusing the demands made upon them for an eight-hour day.

T.. owing to a refusal to accede to the demand for an eight-hour day, asked for a reaffirmation of the condemnation of all products of the exchange.

Va., Nov. 15. Sev eral thousand miners are on a strike in the Kanawha coal fields, and about 75 mines are tied up. The miners will hold a meeting here tomorrow to decide how they shall meet -the situation. The oper ators are employing nonunion men to fill the places of the striking miners. BLOW UP THE SHIP. (Continued from First Page.) surrender the .fortress. This I can state positively." Considering the authority, the General's words may be accepted as a reflection of the view of the Emperor himself. The General further stated that the surrender report-was all the more ridicu lous as several vessels had broken the blockade and reprovisloned the garrison. He added: "General Stoeascl also knows that' the second Pacific squadron is on its way." It is intimated that the report goes at considerable length into the details of the recent fierce land fighting, but says the interior line of defenses .remains in tact. General Stoessel bellevew he will be able to withstand the Japanese assaults for some time to come. Some warships in the harbor have been damaged by shell fire, but not seriously. Many guns have been removed from the ships and mount ed on shore where large drafts of the crews are taking turns In aiding the gar rison in its historic defense of the for tress. Dispatches from the Russian Consul at Chefoo and from the agent of the Finance Ministry reporting the arrival of the de stroyer at Chefoo, although they throw little light on the situation, at Port Ar thur, do not indicate a crisis. The latter dispatch is brief, simply saying the Rats toropny reported all well at Port Arthur. A report published abroad that General Kuropatkln will succeed to the Vlceroy alty of the Far East Is npt credited in responsible circles here. Admiral Alexieff will go shortly to Yalta, In the Crimea, for a rest. PASSED UP TO EMPEROR. Japan Believes Generals Leave Ques tion of Further Resistance to Him. TOKIO, Nov. 17 (9 A. M.) The opin ion Is expressed here that the Russian torpedo-boat destroyer Rastoropny car ried" to Chefoo extended dispatches ex plaining to St. Petersburg the situation at Port Arthur, the condition of the Russian squadron and tho shortage of food and ammunition, referring the question of further resistance to the Russian government. The nature of the Russian fire indicates a scarcity of certain kinds of ammunition. All prisoners taken by the Japanese tell a story of Increasing hunger. It Is alleged that the Russian, comman ders are divided on the -question of continuing the defense. If this is true, it fits the theory that the Rastoropny carried dispatches passing the question to the Emperor. ADMIRAL HAS FULL POWER. Russia Wanted No Repetition of the Ryeshitelni Affair. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 17 (2 A. M.). There is no official confirmation at this hour of the reported blowing up of the torpedo-boat destroyer Ratstoropny at Chefoo. The understanding at the Ad miralty has been that the vessel would be hauled up on shore to prevent a repeti tion of the Ryeshitelni affair, and that she should be disarmed in regular course. Officials here state nothing has yet been received to indicate that there has been any- other procedure, but that the Com mander will be governed by local condi tions. There is no inclination to blame him for taking any measures that might appear to him to be necessary. Japanese Boats Come In. CHEFOO, Nov. 17 (8 A. M.). Three Jap anese torpedorboat destroyers entered the harbor this morning, satisfied themselves that the Russian torpedo-boat destroyer Ratsoropny has been sunk, and departed. DO HONOR TO FAIRBANKS.

In tho examination of J. M. Hannaford, second vice-president of the Northern Pacific, by the Interstate Commerce Commission which is hearing the complaints of cattlemen, it developed that the objection to the rates made by that company had been "withdrawn since the recent hearing in Denver. "Competition has forced us to make the rates which prevailed on our lines," said Mr. Hannaford. "Of recent yeara, there have been several encroachments on our territory, and our rates have been cut down. Our cattle business has been grad ually decreasing for the last seven or eight years." Mr. Hannaford's testimony showed that of last year's earnings 3.4 per cent was from live stock and of the claims paid for damages by his company 4.5 per cent wa3 for damages to livestock and persons in charge of shipments. "There has been no material Increase in rates in the last five years," said the witness.

The royal couples met at the center of the room, and Kink Edward gave his arm to Queen Amelle and King Charles gave his arm to Queen Alexandra, and their majesties, preceded by officers of state, led the way to" the dining hall. As their' majesties passed between the rows of guests, the latter bowed low and fol lowed, pairing off in order. The banquet was served on one table. It was a wonderful scene. At each end of the hall were great masses of celebrat ed gold plate plied under hundreds of electric lights, and the guests formed an avenue of the most brilliant coloring, flashing and sparkling with fabulous wealth of jewels. The music by the band of the Irish Guards Included Portuguese selections. There were only two speeches. That of King Edward, toasting King Charles, was followed by the Portuguese anthem and the British anthem was played when King Charles had responded with a toast to King Edward. After the dinner presentations were made to King Charles and Queen Amelle in the recep tion hall. A special train for the guests left "Wind sor at 11 iio o'clock.

Promoter Suddenly Terminates Trial for Fraudulently Using Mails. DES MOlNES. Iowa, Nov. 16. Letson Balllet. who gained wide notoriety two years ago as promoter of the "White Swan Mining Company, of Oregon, today sud denly terminated his second trial In the Federal Court for fraudulently using the malls, by pleading guilty to the offense. The first trial two years ago ended in conviction after a hard fight, but the sec ond trial was ordered by the higher courts. Balllet was formerly of Des Moines, a young man who went from tho work of a mining engineer Into that of promoting mines.

FORSAKE MANSION FOR SLUMS Robert Hunter and His Wife Take Up Work Among the Lowly. 2EW YORK, Nov. 16. In pursuit of their desire to assist the poor and uplift the depraved. Robert Hunter and his wife, the daughter of the multi-millionaire, Anson Phelps Stokes, have forsaken their country residence in Noroton, Conn., and their mansion in Madison avenue, for a small brick house In Grove street, on the lower "West Side. Both have devoted sev eral years to work in tlje slums and were married two years ago, while Mr. Hunter, formerly of Chicago, was In charge of the university settlement. The decision to settle in Grove street was made after long study of the condi tions in the lowly quarters of the city. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have intimate knowledge of the East Side, and for a long time tney were inclined to make their home there. But their investigations led them west of "Washington square, and in and around Minetta Lane they found the best demand for the work they had in mind. For more than two generations this sec tion has been looked upon as one of the blots on the city. The place never is with, out a patrolman, one being detailed es pecially for duty in the street, little more than 300 yards in length. Formerly the lane was the center of the Red Light district, but since the movement uptown the Red Lights have disappeared,, and In their stead have come filthy houses. In the last couple of years tenement-houses of the accepted East Side model have begun to replace the low, old fashioned brick structures, and this has made more pressing the demand lor the judicious settlement work. The mission workers say the district is now in more need of attention from the charitable and the sympathetic rich than any other quar ter in Manhattan.
