second annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor. It wan an assem
blage of brawny, fine-looking. lntellei tu.il
representatives of the tollers, and one
that must immediately have Impressed
Itself on the minds of the spectators. The

occupied seats In the rear
IT OPENKD AT 1"
(Promptly at 10 o'clock President Sam
uel Gompers, Secretary Wilson and the
Other officers and members of the xecu
tlve committee mount,, -d the rostrum, es
corting Messrs. Arrundiile and Kd wards,
the fraternal delegates from the Hriiish
Trades Union Congress. Their appear
ance was the signal for uproarious and
prolonged applause, the delegates rising
and continuing the enthusiastic greeting
for several minutes. After quiet had been
restored, welcomes were expressed In be
half of the State of Louisiana, the elty
of New Oilcans and the labor unions of
the municipality, and appropriate re
sponses were made by President Gompers
tnd several of the delegates.
These formalities over. Secretary Wll
in proceeded to read the call for the
gathering and then called the roll. The
latter showed an attendance of delegates
the largest in the history f the Federa
tion's conventions. Those present repre
sented every trade and Industry in the
Vnited States a.nd came from almost ev
ry state and 'ttsrritpry , of the country.
Among the states most largely re pre-'
tented were Pennsylvania. .Illinois. Ohio.
Michigan, Indiana. New York. Missouri

merous delgation and the showing made
by the Pacific Coast states eclipsed that
, of previous years.
GOMPERS SPOKE.
The feature of the opening session was
the. Annual address of President Gompers.
The paper was of great length, but from
Start to finish It v,as listened to with the
closest attention on the part of the as
sembly. The address dealt at considerable
length with the prosperity of the country
In general. It showed that'the last months
have been the most remarkable In the
history of labor organizations In the
United States, and that their growth has
been greater by 30 per cent In these eleven
months, than in the twelve months pre
ceding.
In nls address President Gompers took
oecasion to score President Elliot of Har
vard for his statement tlji.it. the strike
"breaker is a hero. "If the strike breaker
is a nero, emu riwiitriu c, uu
Benedict Arnold was a hero, and Judas
Iscariot a saint." He referred to the

I PENDLETON, Nov. 13. Word comes
' from the Uhmn Springs country to the
,' effect that seven elk were ruthlessly
slaughtered in that neighborhood a few
days ago.
For several years a bund of these anl
; mals have been roaming the hills of the
I headwaters of Kirch 'and Camus Creeks,
I and in fact throughout the hills of the
1 l'due Mountains, and sportsmen have oc
casionally seen llieni. but they were
afraid to kill them, as there is a heavy
pfnalty against the destruction of one of
tnese noble animals at any time of the
car for any purpose. Recently some un
i principled man who cared not for the
1 law, and whose ambition, apparently,
- was to slaughter these helpless anlm.ils.
ran into the herd of tuvcii. und It Is re
i poru! killed the whole bunch before he
slupp-d. tome of them were skinned ami
, the meat taken to I kiah and other
i places, where it was sold, and some of
! them wire left to lie on the ground and
decay. F.Ik meat is no delicacy. It will
bring no more on the mirket than the
ordinal y -beefsteak, yet these animals
wire k filed without regard to this, when
the in in who was small enoUKh to do
I lie killing could only use the hides and
teeth.
' The trail who uul. the killing is known
to the olllcers, who have been weaving a
j rope of evidence around him for seyeral
' weeks, and the ropes are tightening so
i that h may be landed at any time.
' When arrested and brought to trial he
may not expect to get off with any small
line, as the minimum is H.uOO and a pen
itentiary sentence In addition.
These animals are supposed to be pro
tected by the laws of the state. Recog
nizing that they are being slaughtered
without cause, and knowing that they
would eventually become extinct unless
strict measures, were taken to protect
them, laws wwe passed protecting the
elk In the stale, and novie were allowed
to be killed at any time. Of course, tills
protects them lo a certain extent, but
there are unprincipled men who do not
1 care either for law or principle, and will
k'll the elk anyway, and the only thing
: that will put a stop to the thltiK Is for
the guilty to be punished to t lie full ex
tent- of the law.
This Is the second report of the 'laugh
ter of elk in thjp foothills. Not long ago
complaint was matte that they were be
ing slaughtered on Cutmis Crv k by a
man. supposed to be the aume who com
mitted the last crme.
STRIKE MADE COIN
FOR THESE WOMEN
One Stove Cooks for a Large
Number of Families.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13 The New York
Run publishes the following communica
tion: While In Pittsburg a few days ago I
-met three ladle who are engaged In a
JusJnes that wU help to solve, 4the fuel
and some other . questions in domestic
economy, 'i hese women are supplying
hot cooked meals to families in that city.
The business is so unique and interesting
that I made careful inquiries Into its
plan and scope of operations. If these
plans are generally adopted It will lessen
the consumption of fuel for cooking pur
poses by at least nine-tenths. It will also
settle the vexed question of domestic ser
vants. In this establishment one skilled
cook, with assistance and one Are, does
cooking for 20 to 60 families by an In
genious device, the Invention of a Con
necticut gentleman, which keeps the food
hot for six to eight hours without arti
ficial heat: and without deteriorating in
quality, flavor or juiciness it will (esscn
the number of domestic servants Jo. this
extent; and as the cooking -Is done by
experts, the food will be of better quality
of selection and more properly cooked
than we have ever had before.
One of these ladles during the past
year has established and conducted an
institution In one of the Western States
similar to the one now being started In
Pittsburg, and Is making a handsome
profit. I find also that other plants, with
the use of this heating oevlce. 'are being
established in other cities throughout the
New England. Middle and Western
States, and they aver they can furnish a
better article of food at about or a little
below the price now paid by the average
householder, saving the householder the
t,t i-niili nml the f-Xnense of fuel.
besides furnishing food properly cooked.
and it is my experience of 'JO years ex
tensive travel that there are very few
hotels or restaurants or private families
that have food properly cooked that Is.
cooked so as to produce the best results
in nourishing and satisfying the wants of
the human system.

Famous Dennis Hurder
May Be Unraveled
Negro Servant of Dead Woman Is
Charged With the
Crime.
(Journal Special Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. After a year
of suspense, during which time Mrs. Ada
G. Dennis hovered between life and
death; after the death of the woman with
out being able to speak one word that
would- lead to the conviction of her mur
derer, and after the crime, one of the
most brutal in history, had been given up
as an impenetrable firystery, it is now
possible that the guilty person has been
found. It remains only for the fact of his
gtfilt to be determined by the courts.
Detectives, employed at great expense,
sought for clue and railed: criminal ex
oerts exhausted their theories in vain
the mystery remained profound until the
coroner s inijuest. which cast the first ray
of light.
Richard Cole, colored, an employe of the
dead woman, has been charged with the
crime and Is under arrest. The coroner s
jury brought in a verdict declaring him
to he the murderer. Can It be proven?
That Is a question the authorities are
now attempting to solve.
A FAMOVS CASE.
The Ada G. Dennis case ignown all
over the world. A fashionable Washing
ton dressmaker was found lying uncon
scious In a room of her residence, her head
beaten In and death momentarily threat
ened. She had been left alohe but a few
minutes, had not an enemy In the world
so far as known and yet she had been
murdered. There remained no clue. In a
comatose condition the woman lived for
ten months. H few wekes ago she died.
Although physicians were almost miracu
lously able to retain within Its crushed
and broken shell the spark of life there
was one feat which the combined skill and
effort of aril the leading medical scientists
of America could not bring about the re
turn to consciousness of the victim of
this strange assault. Iicked within her
senseless body she carried the secret of
her murder to the grave.
That robbery could not have been
the motive for th-- crime was demon
strated by the fact that $1,300 worth of
(ewels remained upon the dresser in tin
room where the dying woman was found.
It hraduully became accepted that a wo
man had committed the assault, actuated
by a spirit of revenge. Who was this
woman? None could tell. No one could
even discover a person with foundation
for such a feeling.
COLE CHARGED.
At the recent inquest the fact was
brought out that n. colored servant kept
by Mrs. Dennis, Richard Cole, had often
made the remnrk that he wished she
were ib-ad. as she had scolded him and
complained about his wtrk. With this as
a groundwork for Investigation search
was made into the past deeds of the
negro and the result has been a charge
of murder against the former servant..
The police are working for evidence now
and more or less conclusive testimony has
been secured for introduction when the
trial comes off.
CONDITIONS IN
GUATEMALA
Eruptions and Earthquakes Cause
Much Damage.
The combination of earthquakes and
the more recent eruption of Mount Santa
Maria Is making Guatemala a country
seemingly destined to be void of all
evidence of prosperity. The eruption, of
which a full account was given In last
right's Journal, destroyed many of the
largest and best coffee plantations in
Guatemala, and the recent earthquakes
were the means of obliterating from the
face of thu map Quezaltenungo. the sec
ond city, and many of the neighboring
small communities. While the coffee
tries themselves suffered little damage,
the dwellings,, storehouses, electric in
stallations. coffe machinery and other
Improvements on nearly all the 'estates
were more or less seriously Injured. This
necessarily diverted attention from the
gathering of the coffee rrop to the re
pairing of the almost universal damage,
l'efore the cataBtruphe Indications point
ed to n very la rgv-output of coffee, but
the yield proved to be only half of what
W as expected.
Since this latest catastrophe many
things combine to retard even the nec
essary repairs on the estates. The moat
serious difficulty is the lack of lubor.
For many seasons past the Impossibility
of securing adequate help for cleaning
the coffee trees has I wen a source of con
stunt loss to most of the coiTee planters,
and now that the surplus labor of the
ropublh- has been pressed Into service
to clear away the debris in the ruined
cities and towns, the question has lie
come stili more serious. The building of
new railroad linos has also induced many
laborers to l.nv- the coffee estates to
cr-fri"!! In grading o'r'tral'k laying.' To
a oid compulsory s- rvi e in the ruined
cities, it is said tint many laborers ate
crossing oxer into Salvador and Mex
ico. IN GREAT TERROR.

Mrs. Botkin's Second Trial Is Sooa
to Come Up.
NO NEW EVIDENCE FOR STATE
But the Defense Declares It Is EasyS
, to Prove Innocence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IJ-Inthenewi
trial of Mm. Cordelia Botkin the prosecu
tion will lie conducted by Lewis Bylngton
who lias taken the place of John Hosmer.
who represented the plaintiff in th
fotmcr trial. Mrs. Botkin is now in
the Branch County Jail outside of thin
city. For the last four years she has
been an inmate of this prison. She was
found guilty on the llrst trial and Judgs
Conk sentenced her to life Imprisonment
the charge being the murder of Mrs. John
'. Dunning and the sister of thu lattery
Mrs. Deune.
Tllerc will be effort made to Intro
duce new evidence at the coming trial.
For this statement the prosecuting at-
torney is Authority. H declares the
former witnesses Plll be recalled and will
be sufficient to insure another verdict of
guilty.
"There Isn't any new evidence," said
Mr. Byington. "A review of the former!
evidence is enough to convict the woman.
Pennington, one of the witnesses, is dead,
but otherwise the case of the prosecution
will lie the same as before."
Mrs. Botkin still employs her attorneys,
Messrs Knight & Haggarty. who weia
with her In the first place.
FOR DEFENSE.
"We have the same evidence as befor
and plenty of It." said Mr. Haggarty.
'".We an; going to bring witnesses from
Delaware: For one. there' ts a physician
who will testify thut the woman did not
die of arsenical poisoning. Have I hopes?
Why. it isn't a possible thing that a fair
minded jury could convict that woman."
Judge Cook will try the case one
more. The whole long and complex
story will be reviewed. Witnesses will
be brought from Delaware, by both aldus,
John P. 1'unninfr. husband of the mur
dered woman and first accuaer of Mrs
Botkin, will be here once more.
MOTIVE OF CRIME.
The prosecution will tell Its story ol
how John P. Dunning, a New York man,
who was living in San Francisco In 1898.
lived with Mis. Botkin. having left hla
wife in New York. Mrs. Botkin's hus
band sued her for divorce. She consid
ered herself free and wanted Dunning
to be free, so that she could go to New
York as his wife. This Is the alleged
motive for getting Mrs. Dunning out o
the way.'
Then the prosecution will try to traca
Mrs. Botkin's movements through a
cleik of a drug store who sold her ar
senic to bleach her hat.' The clerk has
stated that he lold her other drugs were
better for tin purpose, but she insisted
on having nrsi nie; through a girl In a
candy stoic who sold a box of chocolate
answering the description of the fatal
box lo a woman ans wiring the descrip
tion of the accused woman; through a
clerk of a dry goods store who suld a
handkerchief like the one In the candy
box to some one whom .she believes to ba
Mrs. Botkin: through a nurse, Mrs.
Haouf, who remembers" strange ques
tions that Mis. Botkin asked her about
the time of the murder, such as "How
much arsenic does It take to kill a per
son'."' "When a parcel Is sent by regis
tered mail docs the sender have to sign
his name?'' and "Does one liav to tell
a doctor or a lawyer the truth when lia
is engaged professloivully ?'
EASTERN W ITNESSES.
This Is the gist of the San Francisco
testimony. From tlu- East will come
witnesses to tell of the receiving of tha
box of candy by Mrs. Dunning; of tha
handkerchief enclosed in the box and tha
message "With best love'' Inscribed on
n card; of the candles, which appeared
to differ from most of those in the box.
ao.iarently being home-made creams; of
the Illness that followed after severaJ
members of the Pennington household
had partaken of the candy, and of tha
death of Mrs. Deune two days after Its
arrival and of Mrs. Dunning three daya
after. .
Mr. Pennington, father of Mrs. Dun
ning, believed the writing found In tha
box to be the same as the writing la
several anonymous letters previously rer
ceived by Mrs. Dunning. These letters
told of the wrong-doing of her husband.
The prosecution asserted that Mrs. Bot
kin was the writer in both cases.
