PLAN TO END STRIKE
Both Sides in Chicago Make
Concessions.
WORK OF ARBITRATION BOARD
3Icn Will Send Committees to Meet
With Railroad Officials Today
What the Strikers
Demand.
f '
The striking frelchthanaiers of Chi
cago demand:
Abolition of the time of probation for
new men.
All freighthandlers to receive full pay
frem the start.
Elchteen conts an hour for truckmen
(the railroads offer 17 cents), time and
one-half for overtime.
CHICAGO. July 1L Mutual concessions
by the freighthandlers and by the rail
roads have paved the way for conferences
between tho managers and their em
ployes, w"hich, It is hoped, will lead to a
settlement of the freighthandlers strike.
These conferences, which will be the re
sult of the work of the Chicago Board of
Arbitration, will be held tomorrow morn
ing in the offices of the respective general
managers. After working all day, the
Board of Arbitration made the following
recommendation, which has been accept
ed by both sides:
"That committees of five, four of whom
must be employes of their respective rail
roads and having full power to act, meet
with the proper officers of the said rail
roads during the forenoon of Saturday,
July 12, to settle the existing differences
between the railroads and the freighthan
dlers." While not so expressed In the recom
mendation. It is understood by all parties
that the fifth member of each committee
is to be a member of the executive com
mittee of the freighthandlers. President
Curran, of the freighthandlers, has from
the first vehemently opposed the meeting
of the employes of any of the roads with
the road officials unless an officer of the
union should be with them. The railroads
have Insisted that they were ready at all
times to listen to the demands of their
employes, but would not transact the bus
iness through a third party. The agree
ment reached tonight is, therefore, a
slight concession, on both sides. After
receiving the consent of the freighthan
dlers. the members of the arbitration
board prepared a list of demands for the
men to present to the railroads tomorrow
morning. In drawing them up, they said
they were assured that they would be
acceptable to the railroads.
It was stated by one of the high officials
of the union that the third demand would
not be made an Insuperable object of the
settlement of the strike. If the roads shall
make a strong fight upon it, the men will
give way on this point. 'On the first two
propositions, however, the men will not
surrender.
President Curran, of the freighthandlers,
said tonight:
"We have agreed to abide by the action
of the Chicago Board of Arbitration, and
the three propositions which we .shall sub
mit are practim'Uy-the-iwork of- that- body.
If the railroads will not meet us fairly
tomorrow morning, all the teamsters in
the City of Chicago will be out before
night."
The general managers said that they
had not been consulted about the list of
demands to be-presented in the morning,
but added, that they would meet the men
and use every possible means to reach a
settlement.
There was more rioting today than
yesterday, but nobody was seriously in
jured. The chief sufferers were teamsters,
who tried to deliver goods at the freight
houses. Fifty or 60 striking teamsters today at
tacked a wagon loaded with coffee, which
was being driven along Jackson boulevard.
The driver took fright and deserted his
wagon. The strikers, after cutting open
the coffee sacks, strewed the contents
along the street. A crowd collected to
witness the snort, but when half a dozen
policemen arrived and gave orders to dis-,
perse, tho streets were soon cleared, i No
arrests were made. 1
If the conferences between the gejeral
managers and the strikers shall notiiead
to the settlement of the strike, it is a
practical certainty that all the members
of the Teamsters Union will go out. The
drivers for the commission houses on
South Water street informed their em
ployers today that they would handle
goods for the lake lines and the express
companies, but they would not, after to
morrow, deliver anything to the freight
houses or haul anything away from them.
This means, according to the commission
men, that $500,000 worth of produce, which
will arrive tomorrow morning, will be al
lowed to spoil, unless tho strike shall be
settled before noon.
A few men were employed by the rail
roads during the day, 71 returning to the
.Illinois central as a result of the agree
ment reached between the officials and
freighthandlers of that road yesterday.
MIXEWORKERS' COXVEXTIO.V.
President Mitchell Talks About the
Coming Meeting.
WIL.KESBARRE, Pa., July 1L For the
first time since the mlneworkers decided
to hold a National convention, President
Mitchell today consented to say some
thing for publication about the gathering.
He said it was utterly impossible to fore
cast the action of the convention. From
his remarks it is almost certain the con
vention will do one of only two things
either decide on a general suspension or
provide a defense fund for the anthracite
miners. In an interview with the corre
spondent of the Associated Press, Presi
dent Mitchell said that no person could,
with any degree of certainty, predict the
outcome of the National convention which
will convene at Indianapolis next Thurs
day. "I feel certain." said he, "that in event
of it being Inadvisable to Inaugurate a
National strike, provision will be made to
contribute ample funds to carry the strike
on to certain victory. The sympathy ot
the entire labor world is with the anthra
cite miners, and from all sections of our
country we are receiving assurances ot
financial and moral support. These as
surances are not confined to wage-earners
alone. Many men and women have offered
financial assistance to the struggling min
ers, and I feel confident that the strike
will prove a success regardless of whether
a National strike takes place."

OMAHA. July IL The Union Pacific

Shopping In Pekln.
Japan and America.
The Chinese are "peculiar" for many
other things than those set down by Bret
Harte in his immortal chronicle, and
among them is the extraordinary custom
among the merchants of Pekln. A Japan
ese correspondent has recently been ex
plaining to his business-like countrymen
the great waste of time incurred In shop
ping in the Chinese capital. Frequently
a whole day Is wasted in trying to find a
small article of daily use. This Is largely
due to the fact that trading Is despised by
the higher classes in Pekln, and the
merchants are scattered over the city and
over a space of three miles outside of
the city wall. In order to purchase a quire
of paper the Japanese had to go to Ling
Chang, three miles outside of the city,
and had also to get out of the city to buy
beef. Hours a day were spent in going
from shop to shop, often several miles
apart. In what seems to be the shop,
very few articles, and they of the lowest
quality, are kept, the best goods being
upstairs, and will be overlooked unless
the customer Is aware of that peculiarity.
The shopkeeper is quite ready to detain
a customer in gossip in the lower shop for
several hours. The shops are open from
8 or 9 o'clock In the morning until 5 or 6
in the afternoon, and at night all are
closed except restaurants and drug stores.
When He Would Suffer.
Glasgow Times.
On a wet night recently there was a
Jam of passengers on a south-going tram
car. A number were standing on the rear
platform, among them one whose dog's
collar and soft felt hat proclaimed him
a parson. An Irishman with a short clay
pipe climbed on, and he was hirdly on
board when the clergyman said: "There
must be no smoking here." "Sure, the
wind is blowing it back as fast as I'm
making It," said the Irishman, "an it's
dishturbln no wan." "It doesn't matter.
There's no smoking here. You must go
up above.'.' "Very well," said Paddy, as
he took the first step toward climbing up
aloft, "there'll perhaps come a time when
you will get a dry sate below, an' it'll be
more fire than smoke that'll bother you
then!" And the other passengers roared.
NO ROYAL PROCESSION
DATE OF COROXATIOX DEFINITELY
FIXED FOR AUGUST. O.
Kins Edward Will Leave Bucking
ham Palace Tuesday for Ills
Yacht at Portsmouth.
LONDON, July 1L It is officially an
nounced that there will be no royal pro
cession, as originally planned, the day af
ter the coronation, there will be no pro
cession on coronation day, apart from that
In which their majesties will proceed from
Buckingham Palace to Westminster Ab
bey and return. It Is now considered prac
tically certain, in view of this announce
ment, that King Edward will be crowned
Saturday, August 9, since the holding ot
the coronation ceremony Monday, August
11, would Involve another full bank holi
day, with the attendant dislocation of
general business, while Saturdays are al
most universally observed as half-holidays.
The fixing of such an early date for
the coronation is regarded as an addition
al guarantee of the confidence the Klng'a
physicians have in consequence of his
rapid recuperation.
The text of the official announcement
concerning the coronation of King Edward
was Issued from the Earl Marshal's office,
and Is as follows:
"The King's medical advisers stated that
His Majesty's recovery has been more
speedy and less complicated than was at
first anticipated. His Majesty's excellent
constitution has played a conspicuous part
In bringing this about. If the present
rate of progress Is maintained, and If no
complications arise, the King's medical
advisers are of the opinion that His
Majesty would be able to undergo the fa
tigue of the coronation ceremony- on a
duy between the Sth and 12th of August.
The exact date will shortly be announced.
The procession through London, which
was to have taken place the day following
the coronation. Is canceled."
-It Is expected that Queen Alexandra and
Sir Francis Laklng. physician In ordinary
to the King, with His Majesty's nurses
will accompany the King on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert. It has
not yet been decided whether His Majesty
i will go to Portsmouth by rail or whether
the yacht will be brought to Sheerness to
shorten the route. All the details of mov
ing His Majesty will be kept secret.
At Buckingham Palace the following
bulletin was posted at 10 o'clock this
morning:
"The King continues to sleep well and
to Improve In every respect. Treves, Lak
lng, Barlow."
The following authorized statement was
issued this evening:
"The King has made such excellent
progress that his medical advisers believe
His Majesty Is now strong enough to be
moved from London. They feel that a
change of air Is very necessary at the
present stage of the healing process. It
Is hoped that His Majesty will be able to
leave Buckingham Palace Tuesday for the
royal yacht, which Is at present at Ports
mouth." Tonight's report of King Edward's con
dition says His Majesty continues to make
good headway.

U
GERMAN CARTOONS.
Ill Feeling Caused in England by
Brutal Pictures.
BERLIN, July 1L The government of
ficials here are taking cognizance of the
111 feellns: In Great Britain toward Ger
many caused by the brutal cartoons and
pleasantries here on King Edward's Ill
ness. The North German Gazette repro
duces an article severely censuring the
comic papers for their malevolence in tho
treatment of foreign politics, saying that
millions of Germans take their views of
foreign affairs from the illustrated papers
in the cafes and beer gardens. These
form so much more a feature of German
life here than elsewhere that millions of
citizens get their only Impressions of
events and persons from the cartoons,
hence the enormous influence of the
comic prete of Germany.
The Foreign Office has been showing
'unusual sensitiveness over what Is print
ed in England about Germany. Before
the British Ambassador, Sir Frank C.
Lascelles, left Berlin for the coronation,
the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Baron
von Rlchthoften, conversing with him at
the British Embassy about the attitude
of the correspondents in Berlin of Eng
lish newspapers, produced copies of sev
eral dispatches written in an anti-German
tone. The Ambassador read them,
touched a button and had a scrapbook
brought to him. He then pointed out to
Baron von Rlchthoften two or three ar
ticles, clipped from the German press, of
the meet outrageous character against
Great Britain and the British royal fam
ily. The Baron put his own clippings In
his pocket and changed the subject.
FRBXCH PROTECTORATE ENDED.
Turkey Recognlxes German and
Italian -Claims nt Holy Sepulchre.
JERUSALEM, July 11. A sensational
trial here, the result of the clash between
Greek and Latin monks In the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre, surmounting Christ's
tomb in November last, has resulted in
the sentencing of 34 Greeks, Including 12
priests, to terms of imprisonment rang
ing from a week to nine months. The
most Interesting point which developed
after the disturbance was the fact, not
generally known, that Germany and
Italy, in supporting the claims of their
wounded monks, obtained an trade from
the Sultan recognizing their right to pro
tect their respective subjects, and that
thus France's claim to an exclusive pro
tectorate over all the Catholic clergy In
the East is no longer admitted.
The dispute between the Franciscans
and the Greeks arose on the question as
to which community had the right to
8 weep the church. Troops had been
posted In the vicinity for several days
previous to the outbreak In order to pre
vent the anticipated collision, but they
were suddenly outnumbered and over
powered by the contending parties. There
were several casualties on both sides.
London Social Plans Upset.
NEW YORK, July lL While King Ed
ward's restoration to health Is assured,
the social season Is in extremis, says a
a London dispatch to the Tribune. Offi
cial entertaining continues In connection
with the Colonial and Indian guests, and
charity fetes are conducted on an un
exampled scale, but social functions were
paralyzed by the shock of the postpone
ment of the coronation. Not only are the
few balls and parties which had not been
deferred dull and spiritless, but there
also, is an unsettled feeling of restless
ness. Members of Parliament are not
harassed by the uncertainties of a so
cial season; they will be equally prepared
for the coronation In August or October,
for the session will be suspended about
grouse time and resumed after an Interval
of two months, for the sake of securing
the passage of the education bill. That
measure is making fair progress, but can
not be enacted without an Autumn ses
sion. Unification of Turkish Debt.
LONDON. Julv 11. Ther Isnn tmfh
In
the report, published In the United States
that J. P. Morgan Is planning a scheme
for the unification of the Turkish debt, f
Plans for the unification of the debt have
been In progress for some time past. A
rumor was current on the Berlin Bourse
yesterday that the Sultan had finally
signed the lrade providing for the unifica
tion of the debt.
The Ottoman debt Is 1,100,000,000 francs.
Turkey proposes to have 5 per cent bonds
of 1885 converted In fours, payable not at
525, as now, but at 500; and to contract
for the construction of 14 ships, from 500
to 1500 tons, Turkey will guarantee the
debt by concessions on the Bosphorus.
Preference will be given for the exploita
tion of the mines, the forests, the tram
ways, the waterways, and electric rail
ways and transports.
Rustication of Sandhurst Cadets.
LONDON, July 11. Lord Roberts, Commander-in-Chief
of the forces, replying In
the House of Lords today to criticisms
made by Earl Carrlngton, Liberal, and
others regarding the "rustication" of 23
cadets of the Royal Military College,
Sandhurst, as a result of their falluro to
denounce the persons guilty of starting
the recent fires at that Institution and
who were convicted of any connection
with the attempts at Incendiarism, de
fended his order which effected the "rus
tlflcatlon" of the cadets In question on
the ground that otherwise he found
It Impossible to discover the culprits.
He promised personally to investigate
each of the "rusticated" cadets, and
that no boy would lose his sen
iority unjustly. Lord Roberts said,
however, that the 29 cadets would not be
allowed to return to the collego until a
satisfactory conclusion as to the origin of
the fires had been reached.
Massacres In Solomon Islands.
VANCOUVER, B. a, July 11. News by
the Moana from Brisbane, Australia, states
that Information has been received by
the labor vessel RIo Loge, of cases of
murder In the Solomon Islands. The re

Too Great Wealth Causes Suicide.
LONDON, July 11. Too great wealth
seems to have been the Immediate cause
of the suicide of Sebastian Gasslott, a
retired Captain of the royal navy. A
brother of Captain Gasslott who recently
died bequeathed 500,000 to his heirs, and
at the Inquest just held It was found that
Captain Gasslott inherited 400.000. He
therefore became depressed by tho weight
of his responsibility and. imbued with the
delusion that he was exceedingly poor.
Finally the Captain shot himself at his
residence July 8. In his hand was discov
ered a paragraph from a newspaper re
ferring to his brother's bequest to a hos
pital, and the will which had been such
a source of trouble.

could feel the burning powder as it was
blown from the gun.
As stated In these dispatches last night,
Tracy arrived at the sawmill plant of the
Covington Lumber Company, a mile from
this place, at midnight. Deputy Sheriffs
J. A. Bunce, Fred C. Bunce. Galvln and
Crowe were guarding this point. Deputies
Crowe and the Bunccs, father and son,
had posted themselves on the railroad
near the sawmill at the entrance of a big
cut, through a rise of ground, the Buncee
being on the outer guard line. They were
hardly settled when they heard footsteps
approaching from the Auburn side, but
remained quiet until the unknown man
had almost come abreast of them, when
the challenge to halt was given.
"Hello," responded the stranger.
"What's your name?" demanded J. A.
Bunce.
"My name Is Anderson."
As he gave this reply, Tracy, for it was
he, started to run. The deputies again
called upon him to halt, but he kept go
ing, and they opened fire, shooting four
times each. Tracy ran up the track, and a
few yards farther encountered Deputy
Sheriff Crowe.
"Who goes there?" challenged the offi
cer. "A deputy," coolly responded the out
law. Crowe, thinking It was the elder Bunce,
started to approach, when Tracy at close
range fired two shots. The bullets barely
missed Crowe. Tracy turned and entered
the brush along the side of the track,
where he was lost In the blackness of the
night. The deputies made a hurried circle
through the woods to Covington to heaa
Tracy off, but on their arrival found that
he had not passed the station. Wljere the
convict is now located, no one knows.
IS MERRILL DEADf
Reasons for Plausibility of Tracy's
Story.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 11. Many peo
ple here believe Tracy's story that he
killed Merrill. The public, however, has
almost lost sight of Merrill, eclipsed as he
is by the marvelous daring of his confed
erate. And there is good reason to sup
pose he is eclipsed forever.
Tracy would have small motive, if any,
to give out such a story if It were not
true; and It is quite probable that a
quarrel arose between the men, resulting
In the death of the lesser criminal.
Why Not True?
If Merrill Is alive, why does Tracy say
he Is dead? Is it reasonable to suppose
that Tracy, hounded as he is, would draw
all the forces of pursuit upon himself If
his confederate were alive? Merrill Is not
a murderer. Tracy Is six times a mur
derer. Merrill Is a weakling compared
with Tracy. In their exhausting flight,
the lesser criminal might reasonably earn
the contempt of the greater.
Although Merrill was engaged In a mur
derous business with Tracy, in which men
were killed, even if he himself did no
slaying, nevertheless he is liable to capi
tal punishment, if alive, just as Dalton
was liable to the gallows for the crime of
Wade In Portland some months ago.
Tracy's Motive.
There are, however, circumstances un
der which Merrill might save hl3 own
neck. If he should aid In the capture of
Tracy, the law might not be exercise!
upon him. But if he were captured with
Tracy, this avenue of escape would be
closed to him.
It is quite probable that in their extrem
ities Merrill meditated this. It Is equally
probable that Tracy suspected it. Tracy
was the murderer. A high price was set
upon his capture. Tracy Is a sagacious,
quick-witted man. He probably saw the
loophole open to Merrill and the profit
which Merrill could turn to his own ad
vantage. So much for the primary motive for the
probable slaying of Merrill.
Another Probable Incentive.
The Immediate motive is even more
easily understood.
All observers of human nature knbw
how hardship stimulates the mean, base
character of men. Only a few men have
that control over themselves which keeps
them from becoming devils or demons
when exhaustion preys upon them or hun
ger gnaws their vitals. At such times 4
word, a look, a gesture, a trifle will stir
ud discord and instigate crimes that men
would otherwise shrink with horror from
doing. If the understanding between Mer
rill and Tracy was disrupted, nothing
would be more likely to occur than just
this.
Trncy No Philanthropist.
For Tracy, under his present difficulties,
to try to save Merrill Is regarded as im
probable. A man In such straits, of
Tracy's temperament. Is no philanthro
pist, Tracy, If caught, will die. Merrill,
If caught, might live. If Merrill should
aid In Tracy's capture, his chance for
life might be good. It Is not likely that
Tracy would contribute to Merrill's es
cape. DISPUTE AS TO PAY OF POSSE.
State Presents Claims to Marlon
County, "Which Repudiates It.
SAL.EM, July 11. "Who shall foot the
bills?" Is the question now before the au
thorities concerned in the chase for Tracy
and Merrill In Oregon. Superintendent
J. D. Lee, of the ponltentlary. has pre
sented to the Marlon County Court claims
Segregating over 5200, Incurred In the ef
fort to apprehend the fugitives, and he
wants the, county to pay the amounts .due.
The claims have not been formally filed,
but have been placed before the court for
Informal consideration.
The county is asked to pay the ex
penses on the theory that the chase was
for two murderers who had committed
crimes In Marion County, and were want
ed to answer for their acts. Marion
County will take the view that Tracy and
Merrill were escaped convicts; that they
were pursued as such, and that the ex
penses should be paid out of the state
appropriation for that purpose.
Sheriff Durbln, who had charge of the
posse In the hunt for the fugitives, was
asked today In what capacity he acted
whether as Sheriff seeking a man who had
committed a crime, or as an agent of the
penitentiary seekins an escaped convict.
He replied that no warrant was Issued
for the arrest of either of the men, and
he had no personal knowledge of their
having committed a crime, so he could
not have been seeking to arrest them for
the murder of the guards. "I went out
at the request of Superintendent Lee, who
told me to spare no expense that would
assist In capturing the men," continued
Mr. Durbln. "and there can be no doubt
that the state should pay the expenses.
The men were committed to the State
Prison for safe-keeping, and If they es
caped the state should pay for their re
capture." Mr. Durbln Is out considerable monqy
advanced by him to pay Incidental ex
penses. The total expense for the militia

Rubber mattresses are good and sleep

the bed built of fresh pine boughs. When

Isn't, to my mind, a hair mattress In the

you are stopping only two or three nights
In one spot, and then going on in your

will not take the trouble to make your

simply heap up some freshly cut pine
boughs and arrange 'them with the soft
green needles for the top layer of the bed.
The truly satisfactory bed of pine boughs
requires some time and some skill to con
struct, and not every guide who Inhabits
the Quebec or Aroostook plno jungles
knows how or Is willing to bother with
making one properly. In the first place,
long logs are cut for the length of the
bed, and shorter ones are put across the
eds. Into this low box are piled, first,
large, freshly hewn boughs to build the
bed up to the height of the box sides. On
top of these boughs softer ones are laid,
with the new green parts on top to form a
covering for the springy moss. When
plenty of the soft green needles are put
over the other boughs, you have a bed
that Is at once deliclously soft and com
fortable. The best part of It Is that the
aromatic pine balsam Is a remedy In Itself,

PHILIPPINE WHISKY.
A Doctor Tells Its Xntnrc and Its Ef
fect on the Soldiers.
Philadelphia Medical Journal.
Vino Is manufactured In the nlpa
swamps around Manila Bay and the con
tiguous lagoons. Nlpa does not grow In
land or In the higher lands. The greatest
nest of. distilleries is in the vast swamps
in the delta of the RIo Grande. The par
ent stalk of the nlpa fruitlcans Is tapped
and the sap collected much in the samo
manner that wo collect maple sap: A
native fits out his banka (wooden dugout),
which Is IS to 30 feet long and 30 Inches
beam, with 10 to 12 ollas, or earthen bowls,
holding from three to five gallons each,
and paddles through the narrow water
ways between the small Islands densely
covered with the nlpa palm, and frequent
ly without leaving his position In the
banka can Jab a tube Into the spongy
stem and tie fast a section of bamboo to
collect the sap. Making his rounds again
ho empties these containers Into his ollas
and paddles off to the distilleries where
it Is disposed of for a few centavos.
At the distillery the sap Is mixed with
the juice of the sugar cane about 25 per
cent of the latter being used fermented,
distilled and In a crude way rectified. Tho
product Is vino, taking that name from
the Spanish word for wine. Vino Is a pun
gent, colorless fluid exhibiting an alcoholic
strength of from 50 to 0 per cent and
showing some butyric ether, but I never
saw a trace of amyllc alcohol (fusel oil).
The native excluding those of the larger
cities, who have adopted civilized habits
does not get drunk. It Is a rarity to find a
drunken native. Of the 500 or more na
tives we had In our command we never
had a case of drunkenness. The only case
of intoxication that 1 ever saw among the
Maccabebes was our "major domo," or
head servant, when we lived at Colonel
Blanco'3, and he had surreptitiously emp
tied a bottle of cocktails that belonged to
the commanding officer.
The native never drinks vino as it Is In
the market. He dilutes It with water,
adds sugar and oil of anise and drinks it
as "anisette," in the manner that his civil
ized brother takes a cordial. For a "ions'
drink" he has bottled beer, made at tho
native breweries of San Miguel In Manila,
or Imported Japanese beer.
The Intoxication from vino Is purely pro
found Insensibility of the toxic dose of
alcohol. The American soldier saw In vino
a substitute for whisky, and. to the
amazement of the native, took It raw and
In big gulps. Ah a result he was dead
drunk, in a remarkably short space ot
