San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 1—The
gravest fears are entertained for the
safety of the British steamer Aeon,
which cleared from this port for Syd-

and has not yet arrived there. The
steamer Lord Sefton of the same line
arrived at Auckland Sunday and re-
ports no sign of the Aeon. Reinsur-
ance on the vessel Is quated at 50
per cent but it is believed in ship-
ping circles that the ship has not
been lost, but sustained injury that
has delayed her. On board the Aeon
are ten passengers shipping as mem-
bers of the crew, amonb them wife
of Lieutenant Riddle of the United
States navy, and Chaplain and Mrs.
Patrick, bound for the naval station
at Pago Pago. Passage was taken in
violation of law, according to the col-
lector of the port here.

Fort Worth, Sept. 1.—"I firmly be-
lieve Wm. J. Bryan will be the next
president of the United States. 1
have traveled a great deal since both
the big parties made their nomlna-
tibrfl, and I have never seen so much
unanimity in favor of one man, not
only in union labor circles, but In
all circles, labor and otherwise, as I
have witnessed for the great com-
moner.
'He will be elected as sorely as
night follows day. Hearst's party
will not hurt him. Mr. Hearst In
the Independence party simply has
a political toy."
These were the words of President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor upon his arrival
in Ft. Worth. This expression of faith
in the Democratic cauBe came in re-
sponse to direct questions put to Mr.
Gompers by labor leaders of Texas
who surrounded him and were anx-
ious to hea%from his own lips what
he thinks of the Democratic pros-
pects.
"The Democratic party shows by
its stand on the vital question of the
day that it stands for human liberty,"
he continued.
"It is the duty of every liberty-
loving American to rally to the sup-
port of the Democratic candidate.
The citizens should allow themselves
to be less dominated by party and
vote according to their own convic-
tions—then we would have a better
conception of what liberty means."
Mr. Gompers was shown a dispatch
from New York in which the Central
Federated Unions voted to oppose the
Republican party and pledged them-
selves to Bryan. He was delighted.
While in New York a week ago he
spoke in favor of this action
Mr. Gompers was outspoken in his
opposition to the Republican posi-
tion on injunction and pleased with
Democracy's stand. •
Discussing this feature, he said:
"It is notorious that the abuses of
government by injunction are fla-
grant and 'cry to heaven.' Only-
plutocratic attorneys and bigotted,
power-lusting judges refuse to admit
this. Even political trimmers are
forced to give their approval to the
planks favoring some limitation of
the use of the writ of injunction in
so-called labor cases.
"The greatest legal authorities
have held with labftr's contention in
the injunction process. The supreme
court of the state of Montana, in a
Spent Quiet Morning.
Fort Worth, Sept. 1.—President
Gompers, American Federation Labor
president, spent the morning at his
hotel meeting callers and conferring
with leading farmers and laborers.
This afternoon he will spend in pre-
paring his speech, which he will
make at Lake Como tonight. He at-
tended the opening session of the
farmers convention this morning.
Mr. Gompers will speak at Dallas to-
morrow night.

ADVISABILITY OF
DECLARING I MINIMUM PAIGE
President Gompers of American Fed-

Fort Worth, Sept. 1.—At nine
o'clock tonight, no decision had been
reached by the National Farmers'
Union In convention here, in the mat
ter of fixing a price for this season's
cotton crop.
E
Fort Worth, Sept. 1.—National
Farmers' Union convention opened
here thlB morning with two thous-
and present, President Barrett in the
chair. A feature of the first session
was the address of Samuel Gompers
who declared that labor unions would
join the farmers In all their policies.
The minimum price of cotton Is
still a bugbear in the convention,
many delegates opposing the fixing
of the price while others want 15-
cent cotton.
