LONDON, Dec. 31.—The miners (
and engineers are passing resolu
tions against conscription which has
been at last determined upon by
the government. A special Trades
Congress has been called for Janu- 1
ary 6th by the labor organizations
to consider the compulsory enlisting
of unmarried men which Prime Mi
nister Asquith will mtroduco in the
Commons on Wednesday next.
LONDON, Dec. 31.—Reginald
M'Kenna, Runclmann and Simon
fought to the last at the cabinet
meeting against the Asquith con
scription bill. The Prime Minister
who has himself boon a determined
opponent of conscription says that
after a review ot the situation by
Lord Kitchener he cannot see that
the measure can be avoided- It may
take eight million men to win the
war.
It is stated in the Dally Chronicle
that Runclman, Simon and M’Kenna
will resign next Wednesday when
Asquith introduces the compulsory
service bill in the Commons.
PARIS, Dec. 31.—There is a mani
fest sign of satisfaction over the
London dispatches stating that com
pulsory enlistment had been re
solved upon by the British govern
ment. While it is admitted that
voluntary enlistment has done
svonders. it is declared that now
they will have enough men assurod
lor all needs.

LONDON, Dec. 31.—The papers
are terming the failure of the gov
ornment to report the place where
the accident to the Natal occurred
which caused Its sinking as puerile
when everyone knows it. The name
is obliterated in all dispatches sent
out from here.
ROME, Dec. 31.—The Teuton,
Bulgar and Turk Consulates were
taken on board a French warship bv
Oeneral Sarrail’s orders. Greece
has entered a vehement protest
against this. ,
BERLIN, Doc. 31.—It Is announ

himself.
Evidently Champ is still not in
love with the Nebraskan.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Republ!
can papers think that tho demo

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.—After
being ont a half day, the jury in the
Schmidt case brought in a verdict
of guilty.
The verdict came unexpectedly j
and shocked the court and counsel
for the defense.
The judges instructions wort
deemed so favorable as It was an- j
ceptcd to moan practically an ac
quittal.
The Court had ruled that the j
evidence that Schmidt purchased
the powder was Insufficient to con
vict, and as it was upon this testl
mony that the entire charge was
baaed, It was believed that after
retiring but a short time the Jury
would bring in an acquittal.
Tho Court also Instructed the jury
that the prosecution must prove
bdyond any reasonable doubt that
the defendant aided, abetted, and
counselled the dynamiting before
convicting. As this evidence was
negligible the defense felt cafe.
Tho jury set the penalty at life
imprisonment. The court announced
that sentence will be imposed on
Monday, and that it would hear the
arguments of defendants counGel at
that time for a new trial.
There is little probability that a
new trial will be granted according
to a newspaper statement. Caplin’s
trial will be next called.
