Endured Twelve Hours of Agony,
Hanging at 3Iast.
ST. MALO. France. Nov. 20. Jaroe
fJunter. the only seaman of the Brltlsn
channel steamer Hilda saved from Ihe
wreck of that vessel off this port on
Sunday night, says there 'was-no -panic
on board. Attempts were made to lower
the boats, but the rough sea rendered
it impossible. Gunter clung to the fltr
tings of the topmast with nine others
below him. Including the chief mate
and three Bretons, who died during the
night of exposure.
The Hilda struck at 10 o'clock Sun
iday night. She was going very slowly
at the time. Rockets were cnt up, but
there was no response. Seven minutes
later the ship broke amidships and her
VJecks were swept bare, with the ex
ception of the' Tew survivors who clung
to the mast. They were rescued by the
steamer Ada at 10 o'clock Monday
morning after having endured 12 hours
of agony.
In response to the captain's appeal,
when he found It would be useless to
attempt to launch the boats, all the
women and children were mustered In
the main hatch and the stewards fixed
lifebelts around each of them, the
French onionsellcrs assisting in the
work. Everybody was very quiet. Gun
ter says there wore about 20 persons
in the rigging when the vessel found
ered. He describes pathetically how
the mon gradually dropped off, exhaust
ed by the terrible cold, and says the
roar of the lements was awful. As the
men fell off they ejaculated:
"We have had enough of this. It docs
not matter how wo die!. Good-bye."
Gunter himself fought against
strong inclination to sleep and says at
the time of his rescue he carod little
what became of him.

PARIS. Nov. 2L The Petit this morn

respondent at St. Malo with one of the
survivors of the wreck of the Hilda, who
gave the following graphic description of
the wreck:
"When the Hilda struck on the reef.
was on deck with the five others who
were brought here. Seejng the signals
made by the captain, I was asking my
self what was going to happen and
thought that my end was near, when
suddenly my cars became confused, as
though there were peals of thunder, and
1 felt that the" steamer was no longer
moving. Around me I could hear yells
and imprecations, and amidst this hub
bub a voice, that of tho second officer,
was faylng:
" 'All the boats are loose. My God,
it is too late.
"The vessel then shook and compelled
me to reave my footing. I was thrown
onto the rigging, and my hands instinc
tively took hold of .the ropes. I hold on
firmly and climbed up. - All was dark
around and I stuck '.there during the
storm. Masses of human beings were
grasping the same rigging, and, when
the sea ceased to roar. I could hear groan
ing, which gradually ceased, and then
followed the hollow noise of a body fall
ing lp the water, another victim of the
collision. This was how I spent the
night Jn the rigging."

LABOR FEDERATION DECIDES
FOR STEAM FITTERS.
Struggle Between Unions Ends In
Defeat for President Farmers'
Union Against Speculators.
PITTSBURG. Nov. 20. After a wordy
battle lasting five hours on the. floor or
the convention of the Americxn Federa
tion of Labor today, tho International As
sociation of Steamflttcrs. composed of
members of that trade exclusively, was
practically voted a charter by the federa
tion independent of the Plumbers Union,
which, for the past three years, has
fought bitterly every effort to this end.
The vote was nearly two to one In favor
of granting the charter, and while It I
merely approved the rsommenditlons of"
the committee on resolutions that the
executive council Issue a charter to this
organization, -it is believed the council
will not go against ihe opinion of tho
convention as a whole.
The annual conventions at Ha l Fran
cisco and Chicago both rafusd to pmnt
the charter. The battle m the Pittsburg
convention was waged bv the ft tend of

Another Jurisdiction tight was settled
today when the carpalnters were ordered
to Join the Painters, Papernongers &
Decorators' Union.
The steamfltters dlsoute came up at
the afternoon session when President
Gompers gave his decision on the point of
order raised by John Mltcieit at the
morning session. Section one of article
12 of the constitution, was quoted, which
provides that the president, with the con
sent of the executive council, has the
right to Issue charters, and Mr. Gompers
ruled that the point of Mr. Mitchell was
well taken. This ruling barred the Na
tional Association of Steamfltters from
admission to the federation.
Charles Dold moved that the conven
tion recommend that the executive coun
ell grant a charter to the stnamfl iters.
Mr. Gompers refused to entertain the
motion. Despite the ruling that th mo
tion was out of order, the discussion con
tinued and no effort was mad; to stop it.
After a long debate the previous question
was moved. The vote resulted: Yeas,
9309; nays, 4991. The convention then
adjourned for the day with the steam
fltters practically victorious.
R A. Calvin, of Fort "Worth, Tex., rep

CHICAGO. Nov. 20. Sarah Bernhardt
has lost none of her popularity In Chi
cagu. Tonight when the French actress
appeared at tho Grand Opera-Houae. In
which it Is advertised as her farewell
tour of America, she was greeted by
un audience made up of Cnicago s most
representative citizens. Had the play
house been twice the size It Is, every
scat would probably have been occu

In front of the box office as early as
o'clock in the evening, while hundreds
of persons were standing In line and

been so fortunate as to obtain seats.
For the first night's performance of

Bernhardt produced "La Sorclere." and
although suffering fatigue from her

iost none of her powers as an actress.
When Mme. Bernhardt; arrived
Chlcatro tonisht at 4:20 o'clock over
the Lake Shore & Michigan Central
Railroad, she completed a Journey of
9000 miles, which began In Rio do Jan

she went to Lisbon. From Lisbon she
went to Paris, thence to Havre, where
she took passage for ew Tork. The

As a recompense for her hurried trip,
when Mme Bernhardt stepped from her

TRY BURTON 1161
Senator Gives New Reason for
Getting Money.
HIRED TO DEFEND DENNIS
Fees Paid Him as Counsel for Presi
dent of Rial to Company Postal
Inspectors Opposed Fraud
Order, Says Lawyer.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 20. For the second
time within two years. United States Sen
ator J. Ralph Burton, of Kansas, today
was called upon to defend himself in tho
United States Circuit Court against an in
dictment charging that he was offered
and accepted compensation from the Rial- I
to Grain &. Securities Company, of St.
Louis, now defunct, for using his in
fluence, while a member of the United
States Senate. In behalf of that concern
in certain matters pending before the
Postofflce Department at Washington.
The salient points of difference between
the first and third Indictments Is that in
the former Senator Burton was charged
with receiving the alleged compensation
in Washington. D. C and one of the
points on which the Supreme Court re
versed the conviction was that the St.
Louis court did not have Jurisdiction,
while the present Indictment alleges that
Senator Burton agreed to accept, and did
accept, compensation for his Influence in
St. Louis.
Great Array of Counsel.
Senator Burton was present in court
thla mommg. accompanied by his attor
ney, Frederick W. Lehmann, of St. Louis.
leading counsel for the defense: W. H.
Rosslngton. of Topeka. Kan., and W. K.
Haynes. of c nicago. Tne uovernmcnt is
represented by Colonel D. P. Dyer. United
States District Attorney, assisted by
Charles H. Robb, assistant to the Attor
ney-General of the United States, and
Horace Dyer, assistant to the District At
torney.
After the selection of IS talesmen, the
Jury was selected by the exercise of the
peremptory challenge. The Jury was
sworn before noon, and Colonel Dyer, the
District Attorney, delivered the opening
statement of the Government's case. He
recited the charge and said the penalty
for conviction is a term of not more than
two years In the penitentiary or a fine of
not more than $10,000, or both, and that
the convicted person shall be forever de
barred from holding office under tho
United States Government.
Burton's Version of Case.
Mr. Lehmann followed and outlined to
the Jury the position that will be taken
by the defense. He admitted that Burton
had been employed by the Rial to Grain &
Securities Company, but laid stress upon
the fact that the president of the com
pany. Major xiugn C Dennis, now dead.
tVas at that time under indictment by the
Federal grand Jury, and contended that
the principal reason of Burton's employ
ment was that he was expected to assist
at Dennis trial. That he did not da so,
Mr. Lehmann said, was due to the fact
that Major Denlns was advised that he
had already such an array of legal talent
that the presence of Burton and the mem
bers of a St. LouLs firm of attorneys,
whom ho was about to engage, would
overweight his case with counsel.
Mr. Lehmann contended that the visits
Senator Burton paid to the Postofflce De
partment were not for the purpose of In
fluencing legislation in regard to the mat
ters in which the Rial to Company Itself
was interested, but for the purpose of in
vestigating the case against Mr. Dennis.
Mr. Lehmann explained that, while Bur
ton was employed by the RaIto Compar
and yet expected to devote his political
endeavors to the case growing out of the
Indictment of its president, there was
nothing unusual in this, as Major Dennis
owned almost all of the stock of the Rial-
to Company, and they were practically
one.
Mr. Lehmann admitted the payment to
Senator Burton of JcCO In the offices of
the Rlalto Company in St. Louis on March
25, 1S0G, but declared that it was simply
the last of the monthly payments agreed

In regard to the charges that Burton
had used hla influence while a member pt

fraud order against the Rlalto Company,
Mr. Lehmann said:
New Story About Fraud Order.
We will prove that, white It la true that the
affairs of the ftUlto Company were under In
vestigation by Postofflce Inspectors, their re
port to the chief Poatofflce inspector at
Washington embodied a recommendation from
United Slates District Attorney Dyer that
fraud order be not Issued and that this -
approved by Assistant United States Attorney-
General Bobb. assigned to the Postofflce De

Think Roosevelt Will Go to Panama.
NEW TORK, Nov. 20. A correspond
ent of the Herald, writing from Panama
says that Panamans want Theodore
Roosevelt, as a resident of the Isthmus,
to build the canal. That he will, says
the correspondent, is the belief of
many of the Americans and hope of all
the Panamans. It is widely circu
lated that after Mr. Roosevelt retires
from the Presidency he will become
chairman of the Canal Commission and
Immediately take up his residence

Rc6cllion iu Three Provinces to Be
Accompanied by an Attack
on the President.
HAVANA, Nov. 20. Evidence obtained
by the commission which is Investigating
the discovery by the secret police Satur
day last of a considerable Quantity of
arms, ammunition and accountrements in
a house in the Cerro suburbs. Is tending
to implicate afew men of some promi
nence. The government has no doubt
that the materials came from the United
States and it is seeking to learn who
were the purchasers.
Government officials now admit that
they have received secret advices re
garding contemplated uprisings before the
election day in various parts of the Island,
particularly Jn the provinces of Santiago,
Santa Clara and PInar del Rio. with a
probable attack on tho palace in Havana.
The object of the latter, according to the
officials, appears to be the removal, pos
sibly by assassination, of President
Palma. The plotters. It Is pointed out.
are well aware, since there is now no
Vice-President, that the election of Presi
dent Palma's successor, would, according
to the constitution, be In the hands of
Congress and that the Liberals, with the
help of a few Independents, could control
both houses.
The government has not revealed its
information as to the extent of these
plots, but measures have been taken for
guarding the palace. The fa.ns that the
President and his family are remaining at
home and that troops are being sent to
the points where, according to reports,
the plotting originated, are considered
significant. So far as known, however,
these plots are not generally backed by
any large party, and, whether they are
widespread or otherwise, the active
watchfulness against any form of up
rising is believed to have squelched any
ambitions of the plotters.
The generally accepted theory, however,
is that the rumors of slots are intended
by his opponents to imbue Presldont
Palma with the Idea of resigning, and
that thero are no actual plots to do him
physical Injur'.
