President Roosevelt, John Mulr and Rangers Leon ard and Leldlg are encamped In the Bridal "Veil Meadows tonight near the banks of the Merced In a grove of pines and firs; almost within the spray of the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls the Chief Executive is resting after one of the most memorable days of his life. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the party ar rived from the Vernal Falls at the Happy Isles. Although the party had been hov ering above the Yosemite since early morning, first at the heights of Glacier Point, then above the great Panorama "Wall near the Vernal Falls and later at the Nevada and Vernal Falls, yet this was their first entrance to the floor of the valley. There were but few there to meet him, because his point of entrance was- not known to any, not even to the members of his party. He spoke kindly to those there and then came down the valley via Camp Curry and to the Sentinel Hotel. Shortly obeforo 4 o'clock the party was seen approaching the Sentinel Hotel. A few moments later they had arrived at the hotel and were greeted by President "Wheeler and others. The President alight ed and for a few minutes he spoke pleas antly to a few members of his party. "VTc were in a snow storm last night, and it was just what I wanted," said he smiling. DrcsHcd for the Road. The President was dressed In a .khaki suit, Army hat and around his neck was a dusty-looking handkerchief, much the worse for wear. In a few minutes he mounted bis horse and with John Mulr and President "Wheel er proceeded to the Jorgenfen studio, 200 feet up the river, where the party was Joined by Mr. Jorgensen. This building has the honor of being the only one he was In while here. They remained here over half an hour, and here the President expressed himself fully about the Yosemite and the Sierras. A lunch was awaiting him, and, though hla appetite was keen, he refused to eat, having in mind the camp meal at the Bridal Veil Meadows. However, ho Joined the party In a glass of wine. "This is tho one day of my life," said he, "and one that I will always remember with pleasure. Just think of where I was last night. Up there." pointing toward Glacier Point, "amid the pines nnd sil ver flrs, in the Sierran solitude. In a snow storm, too, and without a tent, I passed one of the most pleasant nights of my life. It was so revivifying to bo so close to nature in this magnificent forest of yours." Jorgenncn'n Stndto Delights nim. His host conducted the party through the rooms of the studio, the President re marking: "Had I not wanted the complete Test that I have had, it would havo been one of the greatest pleasures of my life to have spent the time In this building." "When shown the dlnlng-hall with Its beau tiful Dutch finish and furniture, his eyes fairly glistened and he said: "You know I am Dutch myself." "When President Roosevelt came out of the studio accompanied by the others of the party he walked back to the bridge and then held an Informal reception, last ing ten minutes or more. A brook de scriptive of tho valley and key of tho valley, made out of manzanlta, were pre scnted to Mr. Roosevelt. "Hero is a good Republican, said a Democrat, presenting his wire. Tno President smiled and warmly greeted both. A little baby was brought to him In its father's arms. He shook Its tiny hand. and, with a merry twinkle, said: "I have a half dozen myself." An ex-member of the Seventh Infantry, Mr. McPherson. that was so close to his Rough Riders In Cuba, was warmly greeted and for a moment tho beauties of the Yosemite were lost sight of and the stormy days of tho charge up the Incline of Santiago were recalled and discussed. The President appeared perfectly at home, and tho people felt that they were greeting an old friend. Cameras and ko daks wero snapping on all sides. Smnll Boy Lectured. As he recrossed the bridge three cheers were given him. Then he passed un der the arch and rode, unaccompanied by any one, down the street of Yosemite vil lage. A small boy said: "Hello Teddy." The President stopped hie horse and frown darkened his face. He rode up to the boy, the dignity of the President sjrone, and In its place the severity of the father and parent, when he gave the youngster a short lecture on manners that he will never forget. Several times he stopped to greet eomo one or answer a salutation, and then dls appeared in the pine-clad road that leads down to the camping place for the night. About two miles below town he was met by a party consisting of Governor Pardee, Judge Henshaw and Yosemite Commis sioners Givens and Henshaw. The meet ing was purely Informal and muchly en joyed by all. Pehono Lulls to Dreamless Sleep. "Within the shadows of Old El Capltan, lulled by the spirit of Fohono, the Indian name of the Bridal Veil, warmed by rousing campfire. President Roosevelt Is resting tonight.

GOOD BO'S ASKS. (Continued from First Page.) positions Involved in measures like the asset currency bill and the Aldrich bill? "Would you strike from the platform the protest against government by injunction, the condemnation of the black-list, the declaration In favor of the election of Senators by the people, and the proviso relating to the initiative and referendum? What would you advise as to the gen eral tone of the platform? Should it be framed so that to one man it might be Interpreted in one way while to another man its interpretation would be quite different, a little device with which Dem ocrats became quite familiar in 1892? I think Democrats will very generally agree with you that the Presidential nom inee should have behind him "a united and not a divided army." But even a united army must have something to fight for. and the soldiers must know what they are fighting for; otherwise it would -very soon become a divided army. Its victories would be few and far be tween, and those -victories would be of no importance to the people. "When men like the editor of the Times call for harmony, Democrats must recog nize the sincerity of the demand; and yet y6u will concede that harmony, worth establishing and harmony worth having will be harmony that will endure until the close of the polls. It must be appar ent to every one that no genuine progress has been made in the so-called effort at harmonizing the Democratic party- No progress can be made on that line so long as the efforts relate solely to the Identity of the candidate and Ignore utterly the character of the platform. Delegate Should Know First. To be sure, the platform is tcrbe written by the resolutions committee, and yet when genuine harmony on platform and on candidate is so desirable. It is imoort- ant that Democrats who choose delegates to tne National convention be Informed as to the character of the nlatform that Is to be prepared In their name, by those wno say tftat they are willing to make concessions in order that "a united and not a divided army" may do duty behind me .Democratic nominee for tho Presi dency. The question, then, is how manv of their principles must Democrats surrend er, permanently or temporarily. In order to avoid incurring the hostility of men who during two Presidential campaigns deserted the party with which they claimed allegiance and gave open and ' boastful aid to the enemy? Perhaps no better illustration of the difficulties to be encountered when Demo- crats undertake to avoid incurring the hostility of Mr. Cleveland and his fol lowers could be found than the well re membered second administration. Mr. Cleveland and his followers have never apologized for the acts that made his second administration odious in the eyes of Democrats generally. On the contrary, tney insist that tho history, that accord ing to Republican authority, has vindi cated Republican policies has likewise indicated the Cleveland policies. Do you think It would be possible for the Democratic party to maintain Its dig nity in this day, when men are thinking and reading as they never thought and read before, unless the party set Its seal of disapproval in unmistakable terms not necessarily upon the second administra tion Itself, but upon the policies and the methods, the intimacies between the rep resentatives of the Government and the representatives of the money power, and otner evils that characterized tho Cleve land regime? To Plennc Baron and Laborer. Do you think that a Democratic nlat- form which Ignored or dealt apologetic ally with those evils could provide serious attraction for the people? Do you believe that a platform framed so that it would impress upon the tariff baron and the trust magnate, as well as upon the peo ple, the party's determination to give the people practical relief from the Imposi tions under which they suffer today im positions that emanate from the same powers that wielded more Influence at the "White House during Mr. Cleveland's second administration than was exerted by the entire Democracy of the country ao you tblnk that a platform so framed could avoid incurring the hostility of Mr. Cleveland and his followers? I know you do not make the mistake of thinking that Democrats who may not entirely agree with you are any less de slrous for the termination of Republican power than you are. But will the Ameri can people, requiring and demanding re lief, turn from the Republican party to a party tnat gives them no right to believe that Its professions are sincere and that It is determined to re-establish nonular Government and to dethrone the tariff baron and the trust magnate? As anxious as you can possibly be for Democratic victory by "a united and not a divided army," I respectfully ask you to present for the benefit of Democrats generally, and in the interests of genu ine nannony. an outline of whnt tho Democratic platform should be In order that it may not Incur the hostilitv nt Mr. Cleveland and his followers. I am sure that In the preparation of these suggestions you will not overlook the tact that while it may be well to win back the impenitent prodigal sons It Is somewnat important to Temember that the convictions of the faithful boys who remained at home are not entirely un worthy of consideration.

The National Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen will begin a ten days' secret session in this city to morrow morning. All of tho officers of the National body and 700 delegates arrived today. They were accompanied by friends, which swelled the number to over 5000. In all, 2600 delegates are expected to partici pate In the convention, and it is estimated that at least, 25.000 persons will visit tne city as a result of the convention. Most of the arrivals today were from the East and Canada. The delegation from Mexico also reached the city this afternoon. One of the principal matters to come be fore the -convention Is the solectlon of a place for the Trainmen's Home. The Cities of Los Angeles, Buffalo ana Jjen- er are competing for the Home. Tomorrow morning the delegates will be called upon to consider the advisability of transferring the convention to some other city in the state on account of the strike now prevailing in Denver. Repre sentatives of the trainmen vjsited tho gen eral executive committee of the strikers this afternoon and requested that permis sion be granted striking teamsters and others to haul the baggage of the deler gates to and from the depot. The execu tive committee turned down tne request. although, it Is said, tho strikers concerned were willing to help out tne aeiegates. Delecates delving in trunks lor clean linen in the baggage-rooms at the Union Depot was not an uncommon sight as a result. OMAHA STRIKE BREAKIXG. Some Teamsters JGo to worK ues- taurants and Laundries Resume. OMAHA. May 17. The strike in this city of trades unions seems to be nearing an end, so far as the shutting-down of busi ness Is concerned. The first break in the teamsters strike came today, when 25 men employed by one of tho large deliv ery companies decided to return to work. A meeting of the Teamsters' union to day also decided to withdraw the objec tionable features of their demands on em ployers, but it was stated that the lat ter would also demand a lower scale of wages. Tomorrow several of the large down town restaurants will open their places with nonunion men, most of whom are colored. The employers have made no concession thus far, and state that the plan of arbitration proposed by the strik ers will not be acceptea. Tomorrow the laundries will resume op erations with nonunion men, although a number of the old employes will be re tained. The union laundryworkers have arranged to enter Into active competition with, tho laundries, having established a large number of offices in the city from which they will send their work to laun dries In the small outside towns. By the laundry-owners it la stated that wagons will not be sent out at present, but work received at laundries will receive atten tion. The Business Mens Association of Omiha has issued the following state ment: "To reach a correct conclusion of the differences now existing between several labor unions In Omaha and their employ ers, represented by the Business Men's Association, the first thing necessary Is to have correct knowledge of the matters In Issue. This Is not a controversy affect ing rates of wages, hours of labor or san itary conditions surrounding employes. "The Issues are: First The labor organizations involved in the present controversy demand what they cal precognition" of their unions. The business men concede recognition in the "sense that the laborers have a right to form unions, and, if they see fit. to be represented by these unions In negotiat ing with their employers. But such right Is not what 1b meant by the term "rec ognition" as used by the unions. They demand, as a part ot "recognition" that the employer shall enter into a contract to hire and retain In his employment none but members of their unions. This de mand the employers resist, contending that they have a right to employ whom they please, without discriminating In favor of or against union or nonunion labor. The employers contend that this right of election on their part Is essential to their control of their own business, and that the making ot the contracts de manded would amount to a conspiracy entered Into by the employers to deny the nonunion workmen either the right or the opportunity to earn a living by his calling. Second The unions insist upon the right at such times and for such reasons as they, and they alone, shall deem fit, to organize and maintain separate boycotts in which their employers must become DEATH OF A NOTED SINGER parties, participating with themv That is, that the cmnlove shall have not only the right to say that he will not deal or trade with any person who is declared unfair, but that has employer must sus pend all business relations with such per son, without having any voice In deter mining the justice of the complaint against the boycotted party. This demand the Business Men's Association resists. contending that every merchant, manu facturer or other employer shall have the right to continue his business relations with his customers without renard to whether some union, of which he is not a member, and in which he has no vote. shall decide that the customer Is deserv ing of social or business ostracism. Third The labor unions Involved in this controversy Insist upon the right to In stitute and maintain wnat. are Known as sympathetic strikes, by and through which all of the employes of any employ er, without having any grievance of their own, or any complaint to make against their employer, may, at their will, under a decision arrived at witnout nis par ticipation, brine all of his business to a standstill because those employed by some dther party, or even In some other line of worn, have seen nt to wunaraw irom thMr emnlovment This demand the Busi ness Men's Association resists, contending , that no employer ought to be subject to an Rrbltrarv suspension of his business. tirltVi tin minrrol nr dissatisfaction exist ing between him and his employes, simply because there is dissatisfaction in some other line of employment, or with some other employer. "These are the issues Involved In the present labor disturbance, and upon tho Justice of the positions of the contending parties In these essential respects the pub lic la asked to decide." ARBITRATIOX THE OXLY HOPE. X umber of Strikers Threatens to In crease at Denver. DENVER, Colo., May 17. There is prac tically no change In the local strike situ ation. The State Board of Arbitration appears to bo the only source of hope for a settlement of the diracuity. It Is stated that the allied printing trades have notified several publishers who have cast their lot with the Citizens' Alliance that in doing so they had violat ed their contract with tho council, and that unless some plan of arbitration was atrreed upon by Tuesday night, the trades belonging to the council would on that night take up the question of joining -tne strike. Adhesion to the wishes of the-printing trades would amount to a virtual surren der on the part of the alliance. Tho gen eral executive committee of the strikers continues to declare Its willingness to ac cept the proffer of the Stato Board of Arbitration to intervene. It is reported tonight that unions with a membership aggregating 76S2 had voted to go out since the strike began, and that this number would be idle tomorrow night. DISSATISFIED "WITH DECISIOX. Australian Railroad Men, Incensed at Their Executive Committee. MELBOURNE. Victoria, May 17. A large majority of the locomotive-drivers and firemen who were recently on striKO are Intensely dissatisfied at the surrender of their executive committee to the con ditions Imposed by the government in tho matter of the resumption of work on the line. Because of "the objection thereto, Pre mier Irvine consented to waive a condi tion concerning the - nonemployment of certain men and to employ all the strik ers with the exception of the actual lead ers on short time. The men, however, still object to the other conditions im posed, and they have formed a strong committee to arrange for a resumption of the strike unless better conditions are con ceded.

MASS MEETING-, AT -BALTIMORE Resolutions Call on Halted States to Brine Influence to Bear ou the Russian. Government Hand some Sum for' Sufferers. BALTIMORE. May 17. Three thousand people attended a -meeting in the Acad emy ot Musio this afternoon In behalf of the victims of the anti-Jewish out rages, in Russia. It was participated in oy many leaning citizens or tne state and oity -'and several thousand dollars was subscribed. The meeting was presided over by Dr. Fabian Franklin, editor of the Baltimore Evening News, and among the speakers were ex-Governor "William Plnkney Whyte. ex-Congressman John V. Find liy. Mayor Haynes and others. Letters of sympathy were read from Governor John Walter Smith, United States Sena tor McComas, Attorney-General Isador Raynor and leading clergymen, all ex pressing their horror over the massacre at Klshlnef and that the United States should use its good offices to bring an end to It Dr. Daniel C. Gllman, president of the Carnegie Institute, declared that similar meetings should be held in all parts of the United States, to tho end that the public opinion of this country should com pel Russia to adopt a humane policy. Among the letters was the following from Cardinal Gibbons: "I regret that my enforced absence from the city on May 17 will prevent my pres ence at the meeting you have called to give voice to your horror at the events that have recently taken place at Klshl nef. I have no hesitation, however, to express my deep abhorrence at the mas sacres that have .carried to their graves gray hairs and innocent childhood. Our sense of justice revolts at the thought of persecutions for religion's sake, but when persecutions attended with pillages and murder the brain reels and the heart sickens, and righteous indignation is aroused at the enormity o' such a crime. "What a blot upon our civilization Is this slaughter of Inoffensive men, women and cnuareni "Please convey to the meeting my grief for the dead, my sympathy for those made helpless by the murder of their natural protectors, and my sincere hope that this 20th century will see the end of such occurrences, and that peace, good will and brotherly love may prevail on earth." A series of resolutions were adopted calling upon the United States to "bring such influences to bear on the Russian Government as may tend to bring about cessation of these inhumanities." and call upon members of Congress to pro test "against the outrages to which the Jews of Russia are subjected." DID RUSSIA TRY TO PREVENT T Circular Said to Have Been Sent Out by Russian Minister. LONDON, May 18. The Times this morning published from a correspondent a literal translation of wTiat purports to be the text of a confidential circular sent by M. von Plehwe, Russian Minister of the Interior, to the" Governor of Bessara bia, shortly before the outbreak at Klsh lnef. .This correspondence Is dated March 25, and Is headed, 'Perfectly Secret." The translation is as follows: "It has come to my knowledge that In the region Intrusted to you wide disturb ances are belng: prepared against the Jews, who chiefly exploit the local popu lation. In view of tbe general disquietude. the disposition of the population of towns to seek a vent for Itself and also In view of the unquestionable undeslrabllity ot In stltuting, by too severe measures, anti governmental feelings into a population which has necessarily been affected by a propaganda, your excellence will not fail to contribute to the imminont stopping of disorders which may arise by means ot admonitions, without at all having re course, however, to the. use of arms.' David Alexander and Claude Montefiero, two of the leading representative Jews in England, publish in tho Times this morn lng a long protest against the apathy of the Russian authorities, in view of the Klshlnef horrors, and the deplorable In difference. If not actual anti-Semitism, dls played in every line of Minister von Plehwe's report on the outrages, which the writers declare bristles with Tnlsstate ments. They declare tho outbreaks were deliberately organized by local anti-Sem ites, assisted by Inflammatory anti-Sem lte papers and fables of Jewish ritual murders. Details, are given to substantiate ell the horrible Incidents hitherto published. For mal depositions have been made accusing the police of disarming Jews who tried to defend themselves. All appeals to the Governor to call out the militia were vain. and when leading Jews tried to telegraph to St. Petersburg their messages were stopped. TEMPERATE LETTER OF JEWS. Warning; Xot to Make Relief Impos sible. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 17. National President Leon Levi, of the Jewish Order of B,'nal B'rith, has prepared the follow ing statement concerning the Klshlnef massacre: 'When the massacre was first reported, the executive committee, through one of Its members, applied to our Government for an official report on the event, con taining a list of victims, a statement of the relief required and the manner in which it could be afforded without giving offense to Russia. The Secretary of State cabled for such a report, and under date of May 9 furnished a copy of the cable gram received from Ambassador Mccor mick, at St. Petersburg. It Is as follows ' 'It Is authoritatively denied that there is any want of suffrage among Jews In Southwestern Russia, and aid of any kind la unnecessary. While the manner and spirit in which it Is made is appreciated, it is gratefully declined.' It will be observed that, contrary to newspaper reports, the Russian govern ment does not deny the outrages perpe trated. It Is further to be remembered that ther ehas been published a report on the massacre by the Russian authorities. according to which It was of the most serious nature. Moreover, we must not overlook the order of the Czar to his of ficers to suppress and punish any out breaks against the Jews. "It may be that the government at St. Petersburg lias been misinformed as to the events and situation in Bessabarla, but after making all allowances for the Russian view of her Jewish subjects we Russian view or ner jewisn suDjects we must not conclude that tho government itself Is in sympathy with disorder, riot - lng, pillage and murder simply because the victims are Jews. It is neither fair nor wise to execrate the government of Russia because ot the murderous brutality of a frenzied mob. "The situation demands permanent as well as Immediate relief. Let us be care ful not to render the matter Impossible. JEWS MUST SUBMIT. Ministerial Circular Denies Thfm Self-Defeaac. ST.- PETERSBURG. May 17. Lieuten- ant-Ganeral Von Roaben, Governor of Bessarabia, has beea suasaaoned to St. Petersburg. A Hlalstertel circular forbidding the Jews to defend themselves has been Is sued.

The damages demanded amount to $1,500,000. HOW OVERTdN DIED. Cavalryman Defends Dead aad WoHsded Against Savage Horde. MANILA, May 17. Captain Clough Overton, of the Fifteenth Cavalry, and Private Noyes, who were killed May 15 at Sucatlan, Mindanao, met their death at the hands of insurgent prisoners whom they were guarding. Their companion In this duty, Private Harlow, was wounded at the same time. Cantaln Overton's trooD of the Fifteenth had been scouting in tho Department of the MIsamls. Mindanao, on tne trau oi the Insurgent leader Flores. The cavalry men captured 50 of Flores' followers and confined them In a house at Sucatlln.

SPAXISH FRIARS TO STAY. Until Slowly Relieved ly Priests From America. ROME. May 17. There has been change In the Philippine Islands in the friar situation, as there is now a move ment in the archipelago in favor of the members of the Spanish brotherhoods. The pride of the Spanish friars brought them to the decision voluntarily to leave the Islands; they felt themselves, since the archipelago has been administered by the United States, to be in a position of in feriority. The Vatican has Just received special petitions from the Filipinos asking it to prevent the departure of the friars. The apostolic delegate In the Philippines, Mgr. Guidl. clearly demonstrated In his report how matters stand. He said that on one side there was the schism pro voked by "Bishop" Agllpay, which is sup ported by only 14 priests without reputa tion, but which la spreading, especially in the country districts. This movement Is helped by the domi nant political party trying to persuade the population to rebellion against Rome and saying that the expulsion of the friars 13 Indispensable to independence. On the other side the departure of the friars, who now number about 400 men, would mean the leaving of 6,000,000 Catholic Filipinos without religious ministration, there be ing no other clergy acquainted with the language or habits of the natives. The Filipino priests, "who number 6o0, are inadequate to serve the parishes and missions, -which reach a total of 957. Monsignor Guidl. clearly demonstrated in his report how matters stand. He said that missions, which reach a total of 967. Mon slgnor Guidl therefore concludes" his re port in favor of the friars remaining until others have been substituted for them This substitution, however, must be slow. as the Vatican wishes the new friars and priests to be Americans and the sup ply of such men is limited. Father Rodriguez, general of the Augus tinlans, who went to the United States for the purpose ot selecting Augustinlan friars to go to the islands, was able to send out only two men, because throughout the en tire United States the Augustlnlans num ber only about SO. Negotiations between Monsignor Guidl and 'Governor Taft for the purchase of the friar lands in the islands were be gun, but they had to be suspended be cause of the enormous difference In the estimates of the values of the lands given by the official experts and the friars. It was found Impossible to agree In this respect without first establishing the true value of the land. CAGAYAXi IS PLAGUED. Caraboas Has Rain, Lands Overflow, Smallpox and Locusts Came. WASHINGTON, May '17. The Bureau of ' Insular Affairs, War Department, has received the annual report of Gov ernor Gonzaga, of the Province, of Ca gayan, P. I., for the year 1302. It says In part: "The Province of Cagayan, situated In the extreme northern part of the Island of Luzon, has continued in a peaceful and tranquil condition since the estab llsment there of civil government, which was accomplished without the least dis turbance or occasion of disorder in September. 190L The most complete peace has reigned. "Prosperity has been prevented by the mortality of Carabaos and other dls eases ot cattle and norses. This was followed by unexpected rising of the rivers, which overflowed land planted with corn.
