Minister Varllla is confident that it will be a short time only before Panama will be recognized as a government de Jure instead of de facto.

Minister Varila will act in an advisory capacity with the commission. The terms of the treaty will be the same as negotiates with Colombia ten million cash and a quarter of a million yearly rental after the expiration of seven years. In other respects the treaty wll be even more favorable to the United States, which' will obtain exclusive jurisdiction over the canal strip in all police and sanitary matters instead of a divided control.

Early History. Inline where It the slot machine. Muss., Nov. On the 9. ltror of historic Faneuil Hull, where a century and more ago the early builders of the Republic were wont to assemble and pour forth their- patriotic utterances,, there were gathered this morning hundreds of representatives of the bone and sinew, the muscle and energy of the tolling millions of the United States They were delegates to the twenty-thir- d annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, and among them was represented every trade and every Industry of the New W orld. Promptly at 10 o'clock President Samuel Gonipers mounted the rostrum and called the gathering to order. The president's appearance was the signal for an outbreak of enthusiastic applause and a similar oration greeted the arrival of James ot the Duncan, first Federation and prominently mentioned as the possible successor of GompeiM in the presidency. After quiet had restored welcomes were expressed In behalf of the State of Massachusetts, the city of Boston and the labor uiftons of the municipality, and appropriate responses were made by President Gompers and several of the delegates. These formalities over. Secretary Morrison proceeded to read the call for the gathering, Hiid the roll call of delegates followed. The calling. ot showed the convention to the largest numerically in the history of ths Federation. The feature of the opening session was the annual address of Presldefit Gompers. The paper was somewhat longer than usual, but from first to last was listened to with closest attention by the large assemblage. The president, true to his conservative policy, refrained from an extreme criticism of those believed- to be opposed to labor interests, though he used strong language in pointing out the critical situation now confronting organised labor. A long and detailed review of the numerical growth of the labor unions during the past year and a recapitulation of the various strikes and other difficulties was followed by a strong appeal to the Federation to stand firm and prepare for the decisive battle believed to be impending. The unions were urged to continue work day the fight for the eight-hoand for the various other legislative measures in which the Federation is interested. At the conclusion of his address President Gompers was the recipient of another ovation in which seemingly all of the delegates joined.. The appointment of committees and other business of a routine nature occupied the remainder of the session. The subsequent sessions of the convenweek or ten tion, which will last days, will be held behind closed doors. Aside from the possibility of a fight over the presidency of the Federation the present convention promises to be by far the most Important the organization has held In recent years. Never before has there been such a long list of vital questions prepared for consideration and action. Some of the more important matters of a national character that will come before the delep question, gates will be the bill and the recent the Rction of D. E. Loewe of Danbury, Conn., who brought suit against the United Hatters of North America and the American Federation of Labor for damages growing out of a boycott The question of the open shop will furnish food for the greater part of the session and doubtless result In some decided attitude in the recent Miller controversy. - vice-preside- nt i ur open-sho- COFFIN MAY RECOVER.

In 1847 he journeyed with Brigham Young and the band of pioneers to Green River, and then with nine other heroes was sent back as a guide to bring forward the coming emigrants through the Black Hills. In their endeavor to reach Winter Quarters they suffered almost unendurable agonies from starvation. During five days and nights they had but two prairie dogs for food for ten men. The guides met the advancing companies Just west of Grand Island and here Aaron Farr found his own family. He brought them to the Salt Lake vnlley, entering the city on the 20th of September, 1847.
