Atlanta. Nov. , 17 The American
federation of Labor, inannual conven
tion here,, decided to urge" Congress to
pass a workman's compensation law,'
giving a minimum of five years' wages
to employes killed in services. - -'
... A resolution, which is believed cer
tain of adoption, will nrge the passage
of the La Follette bill, which would
give free speech to Government clerks.
The measure would abrogate the Exe-i
cutive order issued by Roosevelt and
maintained by f aft which prohibits the
employes of the Government from tak
ing part in any effort for legislation
without the specific perm'ssion of the
heads of their department,-
The United Mine Workers introduced
a resolution condemning the National
Civic. Federation and requesting all
members of the American Federation
. of Labor sever their connection jvith
the Civic Federation. This,' it is ex-
pected, will precipitate a fight and may
result in an effort to prevent the re
election of President Gompera, r " .
-. In a recent statement Gompera said
that hsi believed his 'connection with
the Civic Ftidera'ion was of great value
to him and that be would not sever it.
Be is strongly of the opinion that it is
in the Interest of labor to maintain the
present relations. The United Miners
have attempted before to cause the re
tirement of Gompera and the election
of a younger rran, but so far they have
found little support in their effort. :
A resolution urging the granting of
independence to Porto Rico was present
ed by a delegation from the island. It
will be considered later. Fraternal
delegates . from England, Canada and
Porto Rico were received.

Tokio, Nov. 17th. According to offi
cial messages received by the Japanese
Admiralty, the entire Chinese navy has
surrendered to the revolutionists .and
the Imperial Government is now with
out a war vessel worthy of the . name.
The haval surrender is regarded as
the greatest blow that has been struck
the Manchn dynasty, as it will place in
the hands of the revolutionists power
to sweep the great rivers of China snd
to transport troops along the waterways
without danger. ' '
The Japanese messages come from
Chinkiang and declare that the surren
der took place Wednesday when twelve
cruisers and gunboats were formally
turned over to the rebels at Chinkiang.
Three were surrendered at Talyeb, one
at Chofo and six othera in the lower
Yangtze river. As the messages came
from Japanese officers who have been
detailed to watch the progress of the
insurrection, they are regarded here as;
authentic. .
Tbe revolutionary governor of Chin
kiang tendered a formal banquet to the
160 officers of the fleet who surrendered
and who swore allegiance to the newly
formed republic.

ern railroad, in Raleigh conferring with

Considered a Victory. Women
Want Property Qualifies
tipu Plan of Voting,
London, Nov. 17. Led by Miss Chrls
tabel Pankhurst, a big delegation of
suffragettes in conference with Pre
mier Asquith, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Lloyd-George, Foreign Secre
tary Sir Edward Gray and First Lord
of Admiralty Churchill concerning the
inclusion of votes for women in the
manhood suffrage bill the administra
tion will shortly introduce in Parlia
ment. It is significant of the suffragettes
increasing influence in English politics
that Premier Asquith, who has hitherto
steadfastly refused to receive such dep
utions, made a definite appointment
ment with the present one for a confer
ence at his official residence and asking
the leading members of his ministry to
be present at the conference.
The suffrage bill the administration
contemplate provides for the abolition
of the existing British system of plural
voting by large property owners and
the establishment of just such a one-man-one-vote
system as prevails in the
United States.
The women had already been offered
the ballot on a property qualification
and were willing to accept the proposi
tion as an "entering wedge," as their
leaders expressed it.
Many Liberals, with Lloyd-Gtarge at
their head, refused to sanction the plan,
however, on the ground that it would
increase the conservative vote. Lloyd
George at any rate favors equal suff
rage, but without the property qualifl
cation. An attempt is now being made
to reach a compromise between the
conflicting factions.
A strong cordon of police surrounds
the Premier's residence as a precaution
against a suffragette demonstration
while the conference is in progress.

Continues Dull But Firm Regard-
less 1 6,000, 00p Bale Crop
Estimated.
New York, Nov. 18-Cotton has of
fered a stubborn resistance to anything
of a depressing character, Time after
time, it has demonstrated a certain
strength which has' defied bears and
others. It might decline, but it speed
ly rallied. The crop might be estimat
ed as high as 16,000.000 bales, but far
mers have refused to" sell freely. Many
of them have been holding back their
cotton altogether. Many believe that
a big crop, even 15,000,000 to 16 000,000
bales, has been amply discounted in the
big decline in prices since last Summer,
It is pointed out, too, that a grown crop
is one, thing, a commertial crop, or a
crop actually sent to'market is another
thing. The commercial crop may be
much smaller than the one actually
raised. The South, it ia added, has in
the past shown its ability to hold back
cotton and what has been msy be again.
The exports are large. Large Bpot in
terest have been big buyers of Decem
ber and other near months. One of
them in 48 hours, it is said, bought
100,000 bales of January. The revision
of differences here on Wednesday is
construed by some as bullish. Some
half dozen well known Liverpool houses
at one time bearish, are now bullish in
their conviction. The1 National Gin
ners' figures up to November 13th,
were 11,478,000 bales as against expec
tations of 150,000 to 200,000 bales more
than this. Liverpool houses have been
buying here.
So to some extent have American
spinners. Hears have,' as a rule, be
come mora cautious. Many of them
have covered and have been watching a
market that somehow refused to go
down. Yet there a e still bears. They
point to the Chinese news as portend
ing poor trade in China to the report
that China is cancelling large orders in
Lancashire where some of the mills are
it is said, shutting down on that ac
count and to the fact that at best there
is no very decided improvement in trade
in this county where the taking by
Northern spinners at least continue to
run considerable behind those of last
year. They think that 1 holding back
cotton at the South will in the end
prove a boomerang. The into-sight
movement is large. StockB at the ports
are liberal and they are piling up at the
interior towns. Here at New York the
market has gotten into a fort of dead
lock. Farmers will not sell freely, nor
ill spinners and others, as a rule, buy
except cautiously. Ellisons says that
mills in Lancashire are reported to be
stopping owing to the war in China.
Spot markets are q'liet. The weather
of late has been generally favorable,
though it new threatens to become-very
cold in tne western belt.' The South
still, aa a rule, holds firmly around nine
cents and the whole maiket has got in
to a rut. What is to extricate it re
mains to be seen. Prices are somewhat
lower for the week, but beard have
won no Ruccesnea to boast of, For that
matter, neither have the' bulls. The
East Indian crop is estimated by Ralll
at 4,400,000 bales, or 500,000 bales leas
than last year, The weekly statistics
were bullish but fell flat in a very dull
market.

Is Declaration Made by Secretary
MacVeagh. Smugglers Will '
Get Full Penalty.
New York, November 20-Secretary
of the Treasury MacVeagh has made '
the startling accusation that there is
not an honest line of importations com-,
ing into this country.
The effect of the statemet coming
from the head of the Treasury Depart
ment creates a sensation among the
appraisers, several of whom accepted
the remarks of Mr. MacVeagh as adi-
rect charge of incompetency or dishon- .
esty, and are said to be talking of re
sign ing.
"The Treasury Department has been
searching in vain to find a single line
of merchandise that is free from tbe :
taint of fraud." said the secretary. .
"Thin pnrulitmn must. hA remedied and
the responsibility rests with you .ap
praisers," '
"No matter who the importer may be
every invoice of goods coming into this
country must be examined with extra
ordinary scrutiny. There must be no
exceptions.
"Thn Department of Customs has
been under investigation for many
months, and many improvements have
been inaugurated, but the frauds have
not been stopped. I repeat, there is
not a line of merchandise being import
ed that is not in some way tainted."
1 he officials of the customs service
at largd are believed to have been as
sembled here for the express purpose
of receiving the warning that Secretary
MacVeagh gave them.
Secretary MacVeagh also announced
that he was heartily in accord with the
efforts of United States Attorney Wise
to get jail sentences for nil smugglers.
Keferring to criticism made by Mr.
Wise on the light sentences imposed on
rich smugglers by the Federal judges
in New York, he said, through Assist
ant Sectretary of the Treasury James
P. Curtis;
"My attention has born called to the
criticism caused by light sentences of
i i : . : .... t . J . u , V
KUluggierB, ami ll la nugKi-ui.ru mat. .
the Treasury Department was respon
sible for the release of members of a
certain firm of importers convicted of
undervaluations a:d smuggling it waa
hoped that the department would not
interfere with tha course of justice
hereafter for any reason whatever.
"The statement ia wholly without
foundation. The Treasury Department
is in accord with United States Attor
ney Wise, and if the cases referred to
anonymously are those against the Du
veen Brothers, it is proper to say that
the receipt of $1,180,090 by the Treas
ury Department from this firm in set
tlement of their civil liabilities waa
made upon the express understanding
that the criminal prosecution would pro
ceed. There was no suggestion that
leniency wan to be shown because of
the receipt of the money in settlement
of the civil cases."
Attorney General Wickersham waa
attacked before the Senate Committee
on Inter-State Commerce for not en
forcing the criminal provisions of the
Shermen law.
