Judge Miller, of Wyandotte County, Nom-
inated for Congress by the Republicans
of the Second Kaunas District.
Lawrence, Kan.. July 13.—At 8
o'clock last night the republican con-
gressional convention of the Second dis-
trict assembled again after a series of
caucusses. On ballot 1,058 Douglas and
Wyandotte counties voted solid for
Judge O. L. Miller, of Wyandotte, and
the vote stood: Funston, 37; Smart, 29;
Parker, 1; Miller, 59. Cheer after
cheer rang through Howersock's opera
house as the big vote for Judge Miller
piled up, and it was known that it
would be but a short time until the
convention had a choice. There was
hardly a moment quiet enough for
Chairman George T. Anthony to an-
nounce the vote and call for the roll
call in ballot 1,059.
There was a moment of roll calling
among the counties and then the roll
call resulted in vote as follows: Funs-
ton, 37; Smart, 7; Parker, 1; Miller, 80.
The applause was deafening as the re-
sult was announced and was continued
out into the street. Senator Charles
F. Scott, of Iola, moved that the vote
be made unanimous and it was so de-
clared.
Judge Miller, who was present, was
then called for and he made a short,
but pleasing speech. He said that he
was as much surprised at the decision
as any man in the convention could
have been. He took it is a great honor
and would try to be a credit to the re-
publicans of the Second Kansas con-
gressional district. After other speeches
the convention adjourned in the most
jubilant spirits.
Judge 0. L. Miller is a modest and
unassuming gentleman. He was born
in Danville, Me., in 1850, and came to
Kansas City, Kan., in 1886. He was

Chicago, July 13.—The conference
called for to-day by Samuel (rompers,
president of the National Federation
of Labor, has been looked forward to
as most important and is likely to de-
termine in a larg'e measure the out-
come of the present strike. Just before
the national executive committee went
into secret session at the Briggs house
at 9 o'clock (lompers said: "We are
all in sympathy with the Debs strike
and we shall try to do something to
bring order out of chaos. What that
will be I don't know. We have ample
power to order a general strike, but
whether it will be done or not. I can-
not say."
Labor leaders in the confidence of
Gompers declared that to-day's con
ference had for its purpose not an ex-
tension of the strike, but the devising
of ways and means to settle the present
troubles. The leaders refused to dis-
close their plans, but they appeared to
be confident that matters would soon
be adjusted peaceably.
At 11 o'clock the executive commit-
tee met with a large number of official
representatives of labor unions. Among
the national organizations represented
were: Printers, eigarinakers, painters
and decorators, carpenters, brewers jud e of the dlgtrict court for five years
trainmen, miners, firemen, building Jnn( wn(i annnitl^n hv Onv. Martin. He

Ashtabula Harbor, ()., July 13.—
Work was commenced on all of the ore
and coal docks on the Pennsylvania
side <>f the river here this morning, but
had not been in progress over half an
t hour before a mob of 600 strikers from
' the Lake Shore side, who had decided
not to return to work, marched onto

: men at work to cease their labors.

iron and steel workers, musicians,
machine wood workers and sea-
men, said to represent in all about
600,000 men. The meeting was pre-
sided over by President Gompers and
the strike situation from the time of its
conception fully investigated. Partic-
ular attention was paid to the Pullman
strike and reports were heard from the
various local organizations which had
already decided to strike. It was gen-
erally believed by those present that
no decision as to the action of the Fed-
eration of Labor would be reached be-
fore to-morrow.
Neither President Debs nor General
Master Workman Sovereign were pres- j
ent at the morning session, although ;
it was announced that Debs would be
called to the conference before its close. j
There seems to be a desire on the part !
of those present to give Sovereign no
invitation to attend the conference.
The oigarmakers' representatives 1
appeared and reported that 4,000 had
gone on the strike. The meeting at
12:30 took a reoess till 2:30 o'clock.
Expert butcl. ts at the stock yards
left their work this morning in accord- I
ance with the plan for a general strike.
They number only about thirty and
are employed by Armour, Swift and
Morris, but their action will interfere |
seriously with work at the packing
houses.
The strike then spread to about 800
men, employed as meat cutters, roust-
abouts, and general laborers. The
movement was not concerted and in
many departments the strike was not
felt while in others no one was at
work. Slaughtering was in progress
at all the houses and the packers said
the strike would amount only to a
temporary inconvenience. Guards sur-
mnded all the packing houses but no
evidences of violence were seen.
The Stock Yards Switching associa-
tion posted notices to-day that all old
employes who reported for work to-
morrow morning would be reinstated,
but that the places of those who did
not return would be filled by strangers.
The strikers tried to interfere with
the non-union men who took their
places and a large crowd gathered
around the Morris building and threat-
ened violence. Police and militia were
sent to the scene and prevented trouble.
The bakers in Heissler & .lunge's
shop at Thirty-ninth street struck this
morning. There were about 200 em-
ployed in the shop.
At labor headquarters last night it
was announced that the following
unions had struck: Painters 4,000: ma-
chine workers, 500; planing mill, 800;
silver gilders, 340; carriage and wagon
makers, 700.
The plumber's union decided not to
strike. It is one of the strongest unions
in the west, having 7,000 members.
A rumor that Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway men decided last
night to strike is emphatically denied
by officials of the road. General Man-
ager Earling stated to-day that the
men who had been out had returned to
work and that the road was running
its trains without Interference.

Twice during yesterday were attacks
made from ambush by strikers. Once
militiamen were tired at from across
the river and a boy killed, and later
shots were fired at troops in the yard.
The whole depot has been cleared and
strong guards have been placed about
the railroad yards. Citizens have also
been warned against gathering in
jwds.
At Oaklaud an extra force of 150 of-
ficers was sworn in and the railroad of-
ficials began preparing to start trains.
A band of strikers charged upon the
mole yards but were at first repulsed.
More men went to their aid and the of-
ficers were driven away and all the en-
gines which had been fired up are
killed.
A train was also sent down the Sono-
ma Valley branch from Calistoga, but
it was stopped at Vallejo, where strik-
ers killed the engine.
Early this morning the round house
on the Oakland Mole was raided and
several locomotives damaged and ma-
chinery put out of condition. There
was no serious outbreak, however.
dynamite on t1ie rail.
Chicago. July 13.—A guard train on
the Baltimore &, Ohio railroad last
night ran over a large quantity of
dynamite this side of South Chicago
and it exploded with a terrific report.
No serious damage was done, however,
and no one was injured, although the
explosion deafened the engine men
and nearly threw the train from the
rails. The shock was felt by every-
one on the train and the guards
on the rear platform were nearly
thrown off. The passenger train was
following close behind. For U miles
nlong this part of the track the country
is sparsely settled, and there is no
patrol of any sort. On the return of
the soldiers it was determined here-
after to send out two lieutenants
instead of one with the guard train and
in ease of a reception of last evening's
work to stop the train immediately,
deploy a skirmish line and capture any
one who might be near.

lowing close after the other, were

The growth of the society during the

hip and otherwise injuring him. A

time a team driven by Miss Sallie Sar-
