WANTS TO PAIR ON CANAL BILL
It Is Xot Probable He Can Do This,
and His Vote Is Likely to Be
Lost Probable Ilcllcf to
Cuba.
"WASHINGTON. June 5. Senator Si
mon expects to leave for Oregon Satur
day not to return during the present
session. He says there Is nothing to be
sained by remaining here. He will en
oeaor to secure a pair on the canal bill,
as he would vote with Mitchell on all
prepositions- If he remained. It Is not like
lj , hov, c er, audi a pair can be arranged,
anJ hie vote Is likely to be lost.
PROBABLE CUBAX RELIEF.
It Now Looks as If the Hebate Plan
Will Be Adopted.
WASHINGTON, June 5. It looks very
much as if relkf to Cuba, If It is granted
at ail, -will take the form of rebate, as
Lggfttd by the 18 Senators who are
oppo .d to granting any reciprocity ad
antagts to Cuba. The President Is said
to be growing tired of the controversy,
and does not think there is enough dif
ference Involved between the straight re
ciprocity plan and a rebate plan to Jus
tify anything like a split in the ranks
of the Republican party.
There iv no doubt that a reciprocity bill
can be passed by the Senate. In fact, the
House bill could be taken up and passed
beyond question, but that strikes out the
differential, and possibly the countervail
ing duty, and there Is where the trouble
comes. A great many Senators do not
want to pass any bill that will be such a
blow to sugar refiners. That Is one rea
son why a rebate plan is so earnestly
opposed by these same Senators. No ad
antage will accrue either to the Im
porters or to the planters by the rebate
plan. The trust can get nothing if a re
bate is adopted.
It is understood that the President does
not -care anything about the trust inter
ests in this reciprocity with Cuba. He
wants to redeem the implied pledge that
McKInley made to the Cuban delegates,
and If it cannot be done by a straight
reciprocity agreement, he wants it done by
turning over to the Cuban Treasury a
rebate on their imports. What the Presi
dent insists is that something be done,
and he is not at all particular that the
trust shall be taken care of, although he
Is inclined to believe the many assertions
that the trusts would get no benefit from
the Cuban concessions.
There is no doubt that the urgent de
mands of Americans owning plantations in
Cuba has had the effect of making Sen
ators believe that the native Cubans or
giowers would get little benefit from the
proposed reciprocity. The beet-sugar men
of the House who succeeded in putting
the Morris -amendment on striking- off the
diffe rential on "refined sugar are still de
termined to prevent any bill 'passing that
does not carry that amendment, and the
Democrats are willing to support them.
Should 45 Republicans be secured in the
Senate to support the straight reciprocity
plan there is the House to reckon with.
The rebate plan may be adopted as the
easiest way out, although there is still
a try strong opposition to It by a number
of Senators.
WILL SEE IF MILES IS THE MAX.
Blame for Giving Oat Philippine Re
ports to Be Fixed.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Following up
the intimation which Senator Beverldge
made that General Miles was furnishing
reports from the War Department to
Democratic members of the Philippine
committee and was keeping them posted
on every little opening detrimental to the
conduct of the Army In the Philippines,
an investigation is In progress. It is
pojclble that this will not bring the mat
ter home to Miles. In fact, some sub
ordinate will probably have to shoulder
the responsibility If It Is traced to the
headquarters of the Army, although It
may be said beyond all question of doubt
that when official documents come out
from, the headquarters that the Com
manding General winks at them. This
was the case with Miles furnishing the
newspapers all correspondence between
Mmsclf and the Secretary of War when
he was In Porto Rico. This was never
brought home to Miles, although he no
doutt understood perfectly well that the
correspondence was being obtained.
It is very annoying to the Secretary
and to the President to have a high offi
cer of the Army, having access to all
papers, use his position to Injure the Army
and the Administration. The matters
which leak out from some at present
unknown but suspected source are those
which the War Department is Investigat
ing on its own responsibility, but which
used separately are detrimental to the
Army. There is no doubt now that if the
President could fix this matter upon
Miles beyond question his threatened re
tirement would follow very speedily.
The Secretary of War recommends an
appropriation of $15,043. to pay the Alaska
Commercial Company for timber furnished
troops In Alaska on credit for building
Winter quarters at several Army posts.
The Senate commerce committee favor
ably reported Senator Mitchell's resolu
tion autaorizlng examination as to advis
ability of building and maintaining a sea
dredge at the mouth of the Columbia
Rhcr to maintain a channel across the
bar until the Jetty extension is completed.
MITCHELL JOKES WITH HAXXA.
Tells Him He Will Puncture His Pan
ama Canal Argument.
WASHINGTON, June 5. There was a
jocular exchange between Senator Mitch
ell and Senator Hanna today bofore eith
er of them began to talk. Mitchell told
Hanna that he had raised the price of
red ink Jn marking eruptive volcanoes
around the Niciragua Canal route, and
Hanna retorted that he could not under
stand why Mitchell should go wrong oil
an important question like this, adding
he was, wrong on the Chinese exclusion
question.
"Yes, ' responded Mitchell, "and you
people passed a Chinese excluslpn law
which ifc so full of holes that the Chinese
can come into this country without any
difficulty." '
"Sec here,' Mitchell,", said Hanna, "be
fore you take a position on the canal or
Chinese, come to sea me and I will put
you straight."
"I intend to puncture your Panama
route," responded Mitchell, "showing It
Is as bad as your Chinese bill, and I will
give 17 valid reasons why the Panama
route should not be chosen for a canal."
AS A REBUKE TO SIMON.
Eastern Republicans Hope Furnish
Will Yet Win.
WASHINGTON, June 5. There has
been great interest in the varying re
ports on the Oregon election, especially
when they showed that first one and then
another man was likely to be Governor.
The Democrats do not claim any satis
faction whatever in the result, They do
not even Indicate that there was a vestige
of Indorsement for their party and Its
policies by the close result on Governor.
The Republicans have viewed with satis
faction the reduction today of the ma
jority that Chamberlain had over Fur
nish, and express the hope that Furnish
will be elected, although they do not claim
it will cut any figure as indicating an
indorsement of the party's policies in
the Senate. Tne election of a Republican
Governor would be gratifying simply as a
rebuke to Simon, because he Is held
largely responsible for the factional fight
made against Furnish.
POLLS OX CAXAL BILL.
Panama Probably Xow Has 42 Votes
In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Polls have
been made upon the Nicaragua Canal by
various New York papers, but, of course,
of the SS Senators, there are many who
have not declared themselves, and the
polls arc naturally guesswork. One states
that there are 41 for Nicaragua, 33 for
Panama and 12 In doubt The doubtful
ones include men who have said nothing,
and if such a poll Is correct It means that
Nicaragua will carrr. It Is probablo that
there are about 42 men who, as the Sen
ate now stands, will vote for the Panama
route. This is not enough, but the ad
vocates of Panama hope to secure three
additional votes before the vote Is taken.
BLOW TO DEMOCRATS.
British Horse Camp Campaign Bal
loon Explodes.
WASHINGTON, June 5. Another Dem
ocratic balloon has been punctured, The
"Chalmette recruiting station" is found
to be a myth, so far as it was held that
there was a violation of the neutrality
lawa In a very concise manner Secre
tary Hay cuts under all Democratic argu
ments which have been made that the
United States Government has had sym
pathy with the British and aided that
government against the Boers. It Is
simply a case where the British Army had
to have supplies, and the United States
furnished the best market Chalmette
was the best camp and New Orleans the
best port from which to ship these sup
plies. No neutrality laws were violated,
and if the Boers had been able to send
ships to this country to purchase sup
plies there -would have been equal privi
leges granted them. As a matter of fact,
it is probable that there would have been
more outcry if this Government had pre
vented the purchase and disposition of
supplies than did occur because it was
allowed. The whole matter was dema
gogic In Its inception, and used for party
advantage only.
HE SAW VISIONS.
Aged Mormon's Testimony at
Mortcnsen Murder Trial.
the
SALT LAKE CITY,' June 5. James
Sharp, father-lri-laV of James R Hay,
who was murdered last December, took
the witness stand today in the trial of
Peter Mortensen for the crime, and with
tears streaming down his checks testified
that God had revealed the guilt of Mor
tensen to him. Testifying to his talk
with Morteneen the day after the dis
appearance of Hay, Sharp said In effect:
"I charged Peter Mortensen with the
murder of my son-in-law. because I knew
he was guilty. God revealed It to me.
He appeared to me by the Holy Ghost
and put the worda of his Spirit Into my
mouth. I had to utter them, for I knew
they were true. I cannot and will not
deny It here, neither will I deny It when
I meet my God on the last day.
"This Is not the only manifestation I
received. Tuesday noon I raw the trail
of blood leading from the railroad tracks
to where my 6on-In-law was burled. I
saw It In a vision just as plainly as when
I afterwards visited the spot"
Sharp Is a devout Mormon. The court
room was packed to suffocation while the
aged wltne was on the stand, and as
Sharp testified to his belief in God's
revelation of the guilt of the accused,
tears ran down the faces of scores of
those present. Under sharp cross-examination
by the attornej's for the defence.
Sharp stated that he had received revela
tions from God before, relating to the
gospel of Jesus Chrlrt. He said he had
not told the officers of his first revelation,
because It was not necrrsary, as he knew
Hay's body would be found.

STOCKYARDS ARE QUIET
TERMS OF SETTLEMENT OF TEAM
STERS STRIKE.
Men Ratify the Agreement Reached
at the Conference and Will Re
turn to Work Today.
CHICAGO. June 5. Quiet reigned In the
turbulent stockyards district today as a
result of the settlement of the meat team
sters' strike, but the happiness of the
men was marred somewhat by a report
that the packers will refuse to employ
leaders among the striking teamsters. The
report caused much uneasiness among the
men. The teamsters are to return to
work tomorrow morning. A few were
given teams today, but the majority were
told to report tomorrow. Instead of an
other day of rioting and broken heads,
there was peace and laughter, as the two
WINS A TILT WITH
DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH.
An incident which Is causing considerable comment in London court
circles Is the disagreement between King Edward and tho Duchess of
Buccleuch, a member of the old-style exclusive aristocracy, who has not
countenanced the so-called "smart set" The King was due to dine with
the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, and intimated his desire that a
lady of his surrounding be invited. This Is usually tantamount to a com
mand, but the Duchess, nothing daunted, refused point-blank to ask tho
King's friend to make one of the dinner party. His Majesty was furi
ous, and threatened to cancel his promise to dine with the Buccleuchs,
whereat the Duchess retorted that she was quite willing to send her res
ignation as mistress of the robes to Queen Alexandra. Later in the day
the King thought better of It, Informed the Buccleuchs that he accepted
the exclusion of his favorite, and forbade the Duches3 to resign.
sides to the controversy good-naturedly
discussed the ending of the trouble. The
agreement of the committeemen had to
be ratified by the packers and teamsters,,
and it was not until, this evening that all
arrangements had been completed for the
strikers to return to work tomorrow.
Meanwhile the only teams called for were
to deliver meat urgently needed. The oth
ers were told to make the remainder of
the day a holiday and to report for duty
tomorrow.
Five hundred teamsters assembled at
Corcoran Hall, near the stockyards, at
noon, and unanimously ratified the agree
ment The meeting lasted over two hours,
much of the time being taken up In wait
ing for laggards to arrive. When the
agreement was read it was greeted with
cheers. The concessions made to the
packers were explained, and the explana
tion was applauded. The concessions
made by the packers were likewise dilated
upon, and there were more cheers. It was
obvious that the men were extremely
content with their fight and happy that
the worst riots In Chicago since 1S94 had
passed into history.
John Meyer, president of the local union,
who read the agreement and did much of
the explaining, called for an aye-and-no
vote, and the chorus of ayes was deafen
ing. The men stood on chairs, threw their
hats into the air, and brought ponderous
fists down on each other's backs.
The agreement reached at the all-night
conference Is a partial victory for the
teamsters, in that the packers have de
clared that they will not discriminate
against members of the union.
The scale agreed upon Is 2 cents lower
than that demanded by the men. It Is as
follows: Cart-drivers, IS cents an hour;
single wagon, 20 cents; two-horse, 22
cents; lour horse, 27 cents; six horse. 30
cents. The men are to be paid full time
from time of leaving barns until return,
with a deduction of Half an hour for
lunch. The document drawn up is as fol
lows: "At a conference held at the Grand Pa-
John Henry BnrroTrs.
clfic Hotel, on the night of June 4, 1902,
between representatives of Chicago pack
ers and their packing-house teamsters,
held at the suggestion of Carter H. Har
rison, Mayor, and the State Board of Ar
bitration, it was agreed, after due delib
eration, to recommend to the two parties
to the controversy now existing between
the said teamsters and the said packers,
that a compromise of their difficulties be
effected by making the following sugges
tions for a compromise:
"First That there shall be no discrimi
nation against union, teamsters.
"Second The scale of wages for team
sters shall be fair.
"Third No teamsters shall be compelled
to work on Labor day.
"Fourth Any teamster receiving jaoro
than the scale of wages stated shall not
suffer a reduction of wages after this
agreement goes Into effect."
The document was signed by Albert
Young, president of the National Team
sters' Union, and by John Meyers, presi
dent of the local union. It was then taken
by President Job, of the State Arbitration
Board, to the several packers for their
signatures. The utmost harmony pre
vailed, the occasion assuming the charac
ter of a Jollification over the settlement
of the strike.
Apparently Ignorant of the strike set
tlement, men sympathizing with the team
sters today dragged a meat-wagon driver
from his seat, beat him severely and then
demolished the wagon. The driver was
Robert Allen, employed by Irwin Bros. At
the' hospital, it was said he would prob
ably recover. A second wagon had been
sent out by Irwin Bros., but upon hearing
of the disaster that bad befallen his prede
cessor, the driver turned back.
Victims of the riots were reported aa
being well toward recovery today. Only
a few who -were taken to the hospitals re
main there. There is no likelihood of fa
talities so far as known. Chief of Police
O'Neill is nursing a bruised leg, which
KING EDWARD VII.
had been hit in one of the Fifth-avenue
riots. Inspector Hunt, who led the police
in. their nine hours of fighting, was hit
three times. Many policemen resumed
their posts today wearing bandages and
plasters, but otherwise were none the
worse for wear.
Soon after the agreement was ratified
by the men, a report coming from some
untraceable source spread that tho pack
ers had determined to take back only
teamsters who had not been active In tho
strike. That the companies would ex
ercise a. choice In taking their former
teamsters back, seemed not to have oc
curred to tho mn before, and on In
vestigation it was found that several
workmen employed in the yards had re
cently been discharged. These men de
clare that they have been singled out
lecause they were strong union men
and strike sympathizers. This Is denied
by the packers, but the statements of the
discharged men are being carefully in
vestigated. The men who have been dis
charged are members of tho Stockyards
Employes' Union. Their organization,
which was formed less than three weeks
ago and already has a membership of
over 7C0, Is affiliated with the Butchers'
Union. Michael Donnelly, president of
the North American Meat Cutters' Union,
has been asked to adjust the trouble.
Late tonight a conference between Mr.
Donnelly and A. W. Leonard, superin
tendent of the Union Stockyards Transit
Company, was arranged. Mr. Leonard
will be ashed to reinstate the men who
have been discharged, and unless he
consents to do so, it is said that the

packing plants will be called out on

MINES LOSING NEW MENf
STOXE-THROWIXG BOYS ASD PICK
ETS KEEP PROPERTIES IDLE.
SaveriBtendcHts Have Trouble in Op
erating: the Pumps Foreigners
Imported at Haxletrfa.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 5. This
was an uneventful day in the anthracite
coal miners' strike, and probably the qui
etest since the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen were called- out last Monday.
There were the usual scrimmages la sev
eral parts of the Wyoming Valley, in
which workmen who refused to desert
the companies generally got the worst
of it No one, so far as known, was
seriously hurt. The work of the miners'
pickets and the stoning by boys and young
men is having its effect. Each day a
fewer number of men. leave their homes
for the mines, fearing they may not
again get home alive.
The operators are still able to fill the
places of those that desert or are forced
to quit. Most of the companies have ex
hausted their force of company employes,
and nonunion men from, the larger cities
are coming in, most of them being brought
here under cover of darkness. They are
sent to the collieries during the night,
because the officials do not care to run
tho risk of having the collieries attacked.
During the day and a part of the night
the strikers are constantly on' the watch,
and in a few minutes can call out the
entire population of a mining village if
necessary.
Tho action of the New York Board of
Trade in requesting- President Roosevelt
to take up the matter of settling the strike
aroused considerable interest. President
Mitchell had nothing to say when he was
asked for an expression of opinion on the
new move. Mr. Mitchell spent the day
conferring with committeemen from, vari
ous parts of the coal fields, and did aa
unusual amount of telephoning. Ho said
there was nothing new In regard to a set
tlement of the strike, and expressed him
self as satisfied with the progress of tho
mlnoM' rnmrvlljm.
The mine superintendents continue to
have trouble In operating their pumps,
.and in some mines the water is creeping
ud slowlv. notwithstanding tne strenuous
efforts of the mem on hand to keep it
down. This Is caused mostly by a lack
of firemen to keep up enough steam, and
also .by the fact that some of the men
have to fill dual positions. Tho superin
tendent of one company said today that
he had received a number of applications
from engineers In cities outsldo the coal
regions for positions.
The spirit of unrest that has been mani
festing itself more or less in this city and
vicinity during the last few days broke
out In earnest at two places in this city
tonight. A. boy named Charles McCann,
aged 14, was dangerously, if not fatally,
shot by a guard at the Stanton colliery,
and a considerable portion of the fence
around the Murry colliery was destroyed
by fire. Four coal and Iron policemen
were arrested, charged with tho shooting.
Nonunion Men Induced to Quit
SCRANTON, Pa., June 5. The Lacsa
wanna Valley had Its first demonstration
against the working engineers, firemen
and pumpers today. No serious disorder
attended it, but it was effective in in
ducing a large number of the men to give
up their employment at the mines in and
about Ollpbant. where the Delaware &
Hudson Company had been fairly suc
cessful In keeping its steam planta In
operation.
The march was the result of a meeting
last night of the five local unions of that
section and began shortly after 6 o'clock
this morning, the marchers intercepting
the men going to the day shift or return
ing home from tho night's work. These
were taken in tow by pickets and p.er'
suaded to meet the leaders of the march
ers, who finally got the men to Join their
ranks. There was no attempt at violence.
The Lackawanna Company also suffered
the loss of Its steam, men at its Brlsben,
Cayuga and Manvllle mines this morning,
and at strike headquarters the claim Is
made that the company will not have a
dozen old men working by the end of the
District President NIcoll3 feleo had re
ports that many of the new men, unused
to the work of firemen, are also deserting
the company.

ton and Wllkesbarre by telephone, and
It is said that a meeting may be held In
New York Monday or soon thereafter
for the purpose of attempting a settlement
of the big coal strike on the basis of a
slight concession and a three years' con
tract. Sympathizer Derail Train.
PITTSTON, Pa., June 5. The Erie Com
pany's work train carrying' nonunion men
to the mines of the company was derailed
in Hughestowri today by running into an
obstruction of rocks which had been piled
on the tracks. No one wa3 injured. All
the nonunion men at work in various
collieries of tho Erie company aro housed
in one building and are distributed every
morning to the mines by special trams.
It is supposed that strike sympathizers
placed the rocks on tho track.
Police Want to Go Back.
HAZLETON, Pa., June 5. The strike
situation in this region today is quiet. A
man claiming to be ono of the Imported
special officers brought up from Philadel
phia informed the mine officers that it
was the desire of tho 70 watchmen quart
ered in the Yorktown store building to
return home. He asked the assistance
of the mlneworkers in getting them back.
The mlneworkers are looking into the
matter. A foreman and timekeeper at
Yorktown quit today when asked to take
the place of strikers.
Disorder at Forest City.
SCRANTON, Pa, June 5. The first se
rious outbreak of disorder in connection
with the miners' strike in the Lacka
wanna region occurred tonight at Forest
City. David Owens, a pumprunner at the
Clifford colliery of the Hillside Company,
was attacked by a mob of 300 strikers
while on his way to work and beaten Into
insensibility. He was revived and his
wounds dressed and then taken to his
home. His -injuries, while severe, are not
serious.
Deputies Sworn In.
HARRISBURG, Pa.. June 5. Sheriff
Reiff swore in a small force of deputies
today for duty in the Lykens Valley coal
region. Three hundred men congregated
In the outside of the colliery at Lykens
today and tried to prevent the firemen
and pumpmen from going to work.
The striking miners refused to serve as
deputies and the Sheriff was forced to
secure deputies In this city.
Office Clerks In Boller-Roon.
SHAMOKIN, Pa., June 5. Owing to the
scarcity of nonunion men here, the Union

RIOTS AT PROVIDENCE.
Street-Car Strike Tnlces a" Violent
Form.
PROVIDENCE, R. I., June 5. The
street railway strike took a violent form
tonight Crowds of men blocked the
streets and hooted and jeered at tho offi
cers and passengers on cars, hurling mis
siles through the windows, cutting trolley
ropes and defacing 'the Inner fittings of
cars. The officers freely used their clubs
In half a dozen Individual riots, mounted
men charged the crowds, and 25 arrests
were made.
The initial cause of the disturbance was
the parade of about 300 -striking conduc
tors and motormen. The line of march
led up the main thoroughfare, where a
crowd soon gathered. Motormen and con
ductors on the cirs which followed were
hissed and Jeered at until a blockade gave
opportunity for demonstration. There was
instant response. The trolley was pulled
off, missiles filled the air, and for half an
hour thousands shouted themselves
hoarse. The police were unable to gain
the mastery until a number of arrests
were made, which started the crowd In
another direction. Similar outbreaks oc
curred, and they grew so serious that all
the available police In the city were called
Into the business section of the city.
Towards midnight the excitement ceased
and the crowds dispersed, the absence of
cars eliminating the chief cause of irri
tation. Conductors Demand More Pay.
