-NOTE OF SIGNATORS OF BERLIN
TREATY, RELATIVE TO THE
BALKAN STATES, USED IN THE
PROTEST OF SECRETARY HAY.
Washington, Sept. 17. The United
States has entered an emphatic pro
test lagainst' the treatment given Jews
in Roumania. The government's war
rant for this is found in the fact that
through oppression and cruelties thous
ands of the Jews of Roumania have
been driven to seek refuge in America.
Secretary Hay has sent to Roumania
the identical note addressed to Ameri
can ambassadors of European govern
meifJshy the signators of the Berlin
treaty -of '78, relative to the Balkan
states, and declaring, among other
things, that there should be no dis
crimination against any person resid
ing in Roumania on account of relig
ious 'belief.
The United States is not a party to
the treaty, but having failed to per
suade Roumania to remedy the evils
which have forced so many Jews to
emigrate to the United States, it felt
compelled to send a protest to the pow
ers to compel the observance of the
religious exemption articles of the con
vention. . ... :

TICKET IS NAMED
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 17. When
the 'republican state convention- reas
sembled this morning, it was evident
that there would be a fight on that
part of the platform as reported by the
committee on platform, yesterday after
noon endorsing President Roosevelt for
renomination. This opposition is un
derstood to have had its origin in the
recent action of the president in remov
ing William Vaughan, retiring republi
can state chairman, from the office of
district attorney for North Alabama,
for alleged neglect of duty. There was
also a feeling of opposition to the
clause in the platform condemning
child labor in cotton mills.
The original platform, as reported to
the convention, reaffirrrfs the Philadel
phia platform, favors "the organization
peaceable and "fair settlement by arbi
tration of disagreements as they may
arise between organized labor and cap
ital, favors a child x labor law relating
to work In cotton nulls, urges the ex
tension of education in'the state;' con
demns "the spirit which seeks to arouse
prejudice of the people against, the rail
roads,' and advocates the "enactment
of laws so regulating the railr'K'da. as
to adequately protect the Interacts :pt
the people but are opposed to kaydraj
tic measures which ;may deter theJn
estment of capifalin '-railroads aad oth-; j
er industries in Alabama." ' ,
The platform then cays i
We endorse the wisdom.'df .the Ding-
ley tariff laiw and urge -ar continuance
of that policy. The nominees ot tne
democratic party of Alabama go be
fore the people of the state asking fur
ther suffrage without a single issue or
promise on any subject whatever.
Therefore, we declare that if we are
given power, we shall enact such laws
as will carry into effect the republican
policies we advocate, -which will bring
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber."
Republican legislation to build an in
ter-oceanic canal is approved. 'ine
"bravery and heroism of our soldiers
and sailors in the Phlippines" are ap
plauded and the attacks of the demo
cratic party on them is condemned. A
high tribute is paid to the late Presi
dent McKinley, whose death is deeply
deDlored.
The platform then expresses confi
dence in the administration of Presi
dent Roosevelt and says: "We express
our faith in his thoroughly American
and patriotic ideas, and we believe .that
his leadership establishes confidence
both in the subject of republican presi
dents and the continued prosperity and
progress of the country, and we there
for a favor his renomination to tne

PRESIDENT GOMPERS IN HIS
STATEMENT URGES THE WAGE
EARNERS AND THE PUBLIC GEN
ERALLY TO CONTINUE TO AID
THE STRIKERS.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 17. Presi
dent Gompers of the American Feder
ation of Labor, in a statement issued
today, takes a hopeful view of the
strike situation. The statement is as
follows:
"At this time it is impossible to say
exactly when the strike will eriSEpfcte,
but, after inquiry into the- situa$4y -at .
the mines, I am convinced that the
struggle will end by agreement. The
wage earners and the general public
are generally contributing to the aid of
the miners. It is essential that this aid
be extended and continued. If the
manhood of the miners is to be main
tained, they must at least have bread
for their wives and little ones as well
as for themselves. The declared atti
tude of the presidents of the anthracite
region has hot apparently changed.
Despite this fact, I am fully convinced
that the strike will end through agree
ment with improved conditions for the
miners, and the union maintained.
(Signed) SAMUEL GOMPERS,
"President of the American Federation
of Labor."
Atlanta Sept. 1?. The biennial con
vention of the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters of America today voted to send
