Page & Conant, citing him to appear be
fore the committee tomorrow in connec
tion with the charges against Brigadier
General "Wood, made In an effort to pre
ent his confirmation as MaJor-GeneraL.
Mr. Conant has been in Washington sev
eral days prosecuting Cuban cases be

Rathbone Given a Hearing.
Major-Gcneral Rathbone, formerly di
rector of posts in Cuba, was given a
hearing today by the committee. The
committee was in session about one
hour. Nearly the entire time was
given to Major Rathbone, who reit
erated the charges made several times
before to the Secretary of WTar, the
Senate committee on relations with Cu
ba and in public statements following
his trial in connection -with Cuban pos
t I frauds.
iiaor Rathbone filed specific written
charges -with the committee. Ho alleged
Uiat General Wood, while Military Gov
ernor of Cuba, accepted money from
the Jal Alal. which -was, he said, a
gambling concern, and asserted that ho
had made a personal friend and boon
companion of an ex-convict. He also
charged him with giving instructions of
an entirely unconstitutional and un
.Americ&n character to the courts.
With reference to the charge that Governor-General
Wood had exceeded his
authority in giving instructions to the
courts. Major Rathbone said the
General had pursued this course in the
Cuban postal case when he (Rathbone)
was under prosecution. This was, he
said, in violation of an article of the
penal code of Cuba, and in a manner
Injudicial to tho rights and interests of
those under trial. Ho also charged Gen
eral Wood with authorizing the use of
ex parte depositions in the postal cases,
a proceeding which, he asserted, is con
trary to law and the principles of law,
and in this case contrary to instructions
given by the Secretary of War.
Major Rathbone charged that in ac
cepting gifts from the organization com
monly known as Jai Alal, to which Major
Rathbone said Genoral Wood had granted
a ten years exclusive concession. General
Wood violated the Foraker law, which
prohibited the granting of franchises or
concessions during the occupation of the
island by the American authorities. He
also charged that the acceptance of these
gifts constitutes a violation of an article
cf tho penal code of Cuba.
Other Charges Against Him.
Other charges were made against Gen
eral Wood as follows:
With complicity with another Army
officer in the preparation and publication
c f an article reflecting discreditably upon
an officer who ranked both of them, in
i i Nation of an accepted canon of mili
tary service, and constituting an offense
commonly known as "conduct unbecom
ing aa officer and a gentleman."
With directing and causing the Auditor
cf Cuba, by a military order, to violate
tho law In the treatment of accounts;
with utilizing the services of an ex-con-Uct,
with whom he was on intimate
rersonal association, in an effort to dls
j iaco his superior officer, and by such
means to secure to himself the vacancy
Incidentally to theso there were many J
more coarges. .Major Rathbone also of-0
Xcrcd to produce evidence and testimony
In support of these allegations. Ho sub
mitted a number of documents to the
committee. Major Rathbone also sub
mitted a transcript of the records of the
courts of Havana, showing that General
Wood, as Military Governor, gave orders
to tho courts as to what they should do
in the matter of giving ball and the con
duct of some other business.

STRiKEABOUTENDED
Chicago Railway and Men
Likely to Agree Today.
ONLY' TWO POINTS AT ISSUE
These Are Not Believed to Be Material-Attorneys
for Both Sides
, Are Brought Together
by the Mayor.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20. But two points pro
vented a peaceable adjustment of tho Chi
cago City Railway strike today, and the
Indications tonight are that these ob
stacles will be Anally' overcome and a
settlement will be reached tomorrow. A
virtual cessation of hostilities has been
declared by both sides, while the present
peace negotiations are In progress, and
as all the interested parties appear to
be making every effort to bring the strug
gle to an end, there seems a likelihood
that all differences will be modified to
such a degree that arbitration will fol
low. Mayor Harrison and his Aldermanlo
peace copamission, after laboring for three
days, succeeded today in getting a repre
sentative of each of the contending par
ties to meet In conference. All the con
ferences heretofore have been separate
but at the suggestion of Mayor Harrison,
this aftrnoon the opposing sides agreed
to meet. E. R. Bliss, general counsel
for the company, was authorized by
President Hamilton to act for the com
pany, and Clarenco S. Darrow, counsel
for the strikers, was gyen authority to
act for the strikers. An hour later, tho
two attorneys held a conference in the
office of Colonel Bliss, and discussed a
basis of settlement. The result of the
conference will be submitted to the direc
tors of the road tomorrow morning for
final action. The decision of the board
of directors will then bo sent to Mayor
Harrison and the Aldermanic commis
sion, who will submit It to the executive
board of the strikers.
After the conference between Colonel
Bliss and Mr. Darrow, it was learned
that the company had made two propo
sitions to the union. Colonel Bliss sub
mitting them to Mr. Darrow. The propo
sitions were:
First That tho company shall have tho
Tight to discipline and discharge its em
cfiTtmice.

not be construed to mean that any dis
crimination is made against union or non
union men.
Second That the company shall formu
late the methods by which grievances of
its employes snail be adjusted In the fu
ture. The understanding Is that the com
pany laid down these two proposals as
the basic principles that must be granted
by the union before further negotiations
could be entered upon.
Mr. Darrow submitted the company's
proposition to the union, after which he
said the strikers had accepted the pro
posalof the company with Immaterial
modifications.
In 'their turn, the men submitted a prop
osition on the routing of cars. This Is
the matter that will come before the
board of directors of the company to
morrow for their consideration.
The bringing together of the opposing at
torneys was the result of diplomacy on
the part of Mayor Harrison. Meeting
Colonel Bliss on the street this morning
ha arranged with him to be within call
when the reply from the strike commit
tee should be received. Incidentally he
ascertained that tho railroad attorney.con
sldered It possible that ho and Mr. Dar
row might reach an agreement. He then
secured a like admission from Attorney
Darrow, and at the crucial moment con
fronted one with the other.
"There will bo no general strike of
teamsters in Chicago, and reports that
have been circulated to that effect are
utterly false," said Cornelius O'Shea, pres
ident of the National organization, at the
close of the council of officers of 20 local
unions today. President O'Shea Insisted
that under the laws of the National broth
erhood the local union was entitled to no
support in Its strike against the City
Railway, but on the contrary should have
Its charter revoked.
Against Bicycles on Sidewalks.
The proposed action of the Council in
the matter of forbidding the riding of
bicycles on the sidewalks of the city
meets with the hearty approval of many.
As bicycles are wheeled vehicles to which
all are expected to give the right of way
or be run down and half killed, It Is
thought to be only right that they should
be confined to the streets the same as
other and less dangerous vehicles. In a
discussion of this matter yesterday by
several persons, It was granted that if all
bicycle riders were decent, sensible per
sons, there would be no great objection
to their being ridden on the sidewalks,
but this privilege should not be granted
to reckless, bad boys, like some of the
messenger boys, and those who
snatch ladles' purses. Two of the men
discussing the matfer told of boys who, In

oring to avoid them rode at them turning

Chosen Head of Livestock Exchange.
FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 20. The Na
tional Livestock Exchange today elected
George W. Shannon, of Chicago, president.
St. Louis was chosen for the convention
of 1904.
The report of the committee on re
trenchment, which was adopted, recom
mended that local livestock exchanges
composing the membership of the National
body adopt rules abolishing solicitors for
commission men and abolishing the pay
ing of shippers' telegrams. These changes
