Guilty a) Charged,
Chicago, Dec. 14 "Guilty as chargf d
was tbe Boding announced today by Fed
era! Judge William Woods against
President Eugene V Debs, ef tbe Ameri
can Railway Union. The same finding
was reached against American R til way
Uulon leaders on trial with Debs.
Judge Woods' opinion overruling the
claim of the defense that the injunction
agiiost the American Railway Uuion
leaders was invalid on tbe ground the
court bad n 'jurisdiction to determine a
case in which an injunction was ordered
and that though possessed of such juris
diction, ttie court lacked organic power
to make tbe order in question, wis very
long and cited many authorities. Tbe
court bold the same protection given com
merce on rivers can be x tended under
tbe existing law to commerce 00 railroads
Referring to the contention that tne act
ot July 2, 1890, was directed wholly at
trust and not against orgaoizitioos of
labor in any form. Judge Woods pointed
ont that workingmen, if they cooepired
with capitalists to prevent tbe moving of
Pullman cars would be gnilty of con
spiracy, auu 11 wonia tie aotora 10 say
tbey should not be equally gnilty if tbev
did tbe same without tbe aid of tbe cap!
taunts. Judge Woods beld tbat tbe de
fendants did deliberately violate tbe or
der of tbe conrt, by directing the strikers
to intimidate tbe men from taking their
places. Admonitions against violence
were sent out by tbe defendants, but it
was not intended they sbold be beeded
Attorney Darrow, representing tbe de
fendanta, asked tbat bis clients might
retire fur consultation regarding what
they should say, and after a briet recesr.
tbe strike leaders died back into couit,
angiog themselves belore tbe bench.
Attorney Darrow, speaking for tbem,
said tbey bad no wish to make separata
speeches, but felt tbat tbey bad done no
rong, Ibe attorney advised tb6 court
bat Director Mac Venn, one of tbe de
fendants, was out of the city during tbe
strike. A lengthy argument betweeu
tbe attorneys followed over the propo
sition to discriminate in MacVean'a favor,
which tbe court terminated by suspend'
ing sentence on Mac Yean. Jn sentencing
tbe others defendants Judge Woods said:
"Tbe punishment shall be neither via
dictive nor trivial.. These men .were in
wilful contempt onder what legal advice
I should like very much to koow. Tbese
men were leaders in a great measure of
lawbreakers, aod are responsible as
leaders. Tbe ignorant men who followed
them bave been punished. Debs is more
responsible than any of tbe others. He
is a man of marked ability and power
over men. I feel constrained to dis
criminate between him and tbe others .
Tbe puniabraent against all tbe defend ants
except Debs is three months in jail,
and against Debs six months."
Tbe defeaaants did not appear particu
larly crushed by the punishment. Debs
bowed bis tall, gaunt form and whispered
a few words to bis sister, who set cear,
and tbey both laughed heartily. How.
ard aod Hogan eicbaoged smiling glanecs
and Keiiber grasped his attorney's band,
and appeared to offer congratulation.
It was evident ail expected much more
severe sentence. Debs drew bis peooie
to one side and instructed tbem to say
nothing lor publication, setting them tbe
example by refusing to discuss tbe case
at ail.
Accused nf Undue Hante.
Washington, Dec. 14 There- was a
spirited incident before tbe hanking and
currency committee today. Representa
tive Walker, of Massacbuse ts, said be
understood programme had been quiet
ly arranged by which a currency bill
ould be considered by tbe Democrats
ot tbe committee tonight, by tbe tun
committee tomorrow night, aod to bs
presented to tbe bonse Monday. Chair
man Springer said this programme was a
mere surmise. All the committee bad
actually done was to agree to a meeting
Sunday night, it being understood a final
vote on the bill could then be taken.
Walker thereupon moved tbe committee
should not consider such agreement. He
said :
'We bave been turning over tbls cur
rency question for the p.t 10 months,
and at tbe end of tbat time Secretary
Carlisle comes in with a bill whicb he
tells us be dictated hurriedly to a sten
ographer before coming to tbe committee
room. JNo man living could prepare a
measure affecting sncb vast interests in
less than a week. Yet tbis is tbe bill tbat
is to be reported off-band. This haste is
not becoming to us as legislators. There
should be a full consideration of tbe
question without limit to time."
Walker's motion to reconsider was
voted down by a strict party division.
Ayes. Walker, Brossius and Johnson
(Indiana), Republicans; noes, Bnerry,
Cox, EHia, Cobb (M'ssouri), Warner,
Black (Georgia) and Springer, Democrats
Jobnsoa added bis protest to mat oi
Walker. He said be had first agreed to
a meeting tomorrow uignt oecanse ne
knew tbe majority had virtually agreed
on a bill, and was ready to pnab it through
tbe committee so it wa useless to resist
the baste.

Deiiver, Des. 14 A red bot fight
broke out in tbe convention of the Ameri
ca a Federation of Ltbor today over tbe
Political Programme" snbmitted by tbe
last previous convention to the various
unions. John F Tobin, of the boot and
sboewoikers, assertei that the presidents,
secretaries and other officers of the labor
organizations used tbeir positions to se
cure political election and appointment.
Objection came at once from a dozen men,
including President Gompers and Sacre-,
tary Evans. Mr. Tobin remarked that
such a show of fee'iog was all the proof
be wanted tbat bis shot bad bit tbe mark.
President Gompers denounce as a lie a
general charge wbicb included bim, and
defied Tobin or any other delegate to
point to a vulnerable place in bis career
as to booesty. He charged tbat it was a
cowardly, covert attack upon organized
labor.
After a spirited debate the preamble to
tbe political programme w struck out
by a vote ot 1869 to 801. Plank 1 da
daring for compulsory education was
adopted. Planks 2 and 11 were consoli
dated making tbem read, "direct legiaia

Astoria, Dec. 15 At 10:30 tbis morn
log, the Belief towed tbe Bittisb ship
Marion BaUantynt, 20 days over-due, from
Acapulco, inside and dropped her at
anchor off the Fort Stevens dock, then
proceeded te sea with another vessel
About 4 o'clock a boatsmsn brought
woid from the Ballantyue tbat tbe health
officer was needed on board, as a number
of tbe crew were down with malarial
fever. A launch was procured at once
and Health Officer Walker and Deputy
United Siates Marshal Smith started for
tbe vessel. The sight of a half dozen
pallid faces peering over tbe bulwarks of
the ship, as tbe launch came alongside,
told only too plainly tbe condition ot the
hip's crew. Dr. Walker w$nt on board
lone aod made an examination ot tbe
sick. He reports not an able bodied man
on board, 10 of whom are down with
fever, tbe boatsw.ain being seriously ill.
He placed tbe ship In quarantine and I ft
Deputy Smith in charge, t ilot Dan Mc-
Yickor was compelled to remain on board.
As soon as tbe health officer left, the tng
Relief returned and towed tbe Ballanlyne
to anchor off the Seaside cannery. Dr.
Walker says he cannot tell it there is any
contagious disease on board, but thinks
it is only a violent type of malarial fever.
If tbe latter, tbe whole crew will be taken
to the hoepital tomorrow, after another
examination. Medicine was lett with tbe
captain by tbe officer and the Invalids
were made comfortable for tbe night.

CHiCAGO,Deo. 15 Tbe convicted offi
cers and directors of tbe American Rail
way Union bad a conference witb their
attorney, Clarence Darrow, in the latter
office yesterday afternoon as to tbe best
way of proceeding now tbat tbey have
been sentenced to spend a term in jail.
Attorney Darrow said he did not think
there was any doubt they bad tbe right
to appeal, althongb an appeal is not usual
in such pases. The matter is one for ar
gument, and as tbe question would bave
to be argued before Judge Woods, tbe
defendants smile grimly when tbis
method ot obtaining tbeir release is men
tioned. Another plan, and the one that
will probably be adopted, is to ask the
supreme court .for a habeas corpus. Tbis
cao be done, Mr. Darrow says, without
goiog through tbe intermediate court of
appeals, or a writ of habeas corpus can
be asked from any United States circuit
judge, and, if be decides not to grant it,
an appeal can do tasen te toe supremo
court. It is by no means certain yet tbat
the mea will bave to gp to. jail, and it is
asserted that tbey will' not have to go
until Dec. 20, which is tbe expiration of
tbe 10 days given tbem by Judge Woods.
Before tbe 10 days have expired, Attor
ney Darrow will bave mapped ont some
line of procepure, aod while it is pending
the men have tbe right to go free on bail
wbicb they will avail themselves of.

London, Dec. 15 Mr. Graves, tbe

until the report of the European com
mission appointed to inquire into tbe cir
cumstances oi tbe outrages snail nave
been presented, as that report will nec
essarily be delayed until spring. He
sta'es tbat immediate intervention ts ad
visable. Lord Eimberley, upon receipt
of Mr. Graves communication, at ouce
commnnicased with the French foreign
office, witb tbe result lbt it baa finally
been agreed to Instruct tnt f resco ana
Russian consuls at Erzeroum to jo, a Mr.
Graves and start witbout delay upon
their mission of inquiry. The foreign
office denies special commission of only
British, French and Russian consuls im
plies tbat a speciul entente baa been es--Ublished
between tbe three powers
mentioned, and says they were appointed
because tbey were tbe only European
consuls at Erzeroum. .

AceKLAND. N. Z., Dec. 16 Advices
from Apia, Samoa, ot December 8, are to
the effect that tbe well-known novelist,
Robert Louis Stevenson, bad died sud
denly from apoplexy. His remains were
interred on the summit of Pala mountain,
1SU0 leet high. At tbe time of bis death
Mt. Stevenson bad half completed tbe
writing of a new novel. Some time ago
Mr, Stevenson, who was suffering from
long trouble, went to tbe South Pacific
for nis health. He became enraptured
with the Samoan island, and decided to
take up his residence and spend tbe rest
ot bis days there.-- He took a close in
terest tn Samoan affairs, and bss written
many letters to tbe newspapers in favor
of tbe natives asagainBt tbe treaty powers,
under whose direction the government of
tbe islands is conducted.

Many Chinese soldiers, both at Port Ar
thur and those who came in from the
outlying fortifications taken by Japanese
soldiers, discarded their uniforms and It
now known to be certain tbat nearly
all tbe Chinese killed in plain clothes
were soldiers in disguise. Tbe Chinese
nbaoitants (presumably a msjonty) of
Port Arthur, left before the engsgement
thoueb a few remained, having'- been
armed and ordered to resist tbe Japanese
and fire upon them. This tbey did, and
in tbe contusion of the fight it was im
possible to distinguish them from Chi

tering Port Arthur was greatly excited
by tbe sight of tbe fearfully mutilated
bodies of their comrades, some et whom
bad been burned alive and some crucified :
Notwithstanding tbis, tbe discipline of

eclipses any period in th age of man.
Social matters are quiet; but evry Satur
