CHURCHILL's NEW ROLE.
Randy Leads a Movement for the
W0rkin Cmen

LONDON, March 4.-Lord Randolph
Churchill presided over conference
held yesterday to receive the prelimin-
airy report of the executive committee
to provide assistance for the unem-
ployed worllingmen of Paddington.
Taking the lead in any movement cal
culated to benefit the unemployed peo-
pie of London is a role which the versa
tile Lord Randolph Churchill has re-
Gently added to his repertoire, and it
must be said that his first appearance
in the character of a phil
anthrOphist was eminently successful.
Referring to the work of the executive
committee he commended The success of
the small local funds which had been
accumulated toward relieving the dis
tress of the enforced idlers, the useful
ness of which, he said, was in marked
contrast to the larger efforts of the
mayors of the larger towns throughout
England, which, though promising
greater results, had fallen short of gen.
eral expectation. Abiding to the work
ings of the poor law Lord Churchill
asserted that if the committee
were converted into society for the
solution of great social questions it
would pass beyond the sphere of use
fulness into realm of organized incom-
potency. This is the general Tory view
of the matter, and, despite the enor-
nous amount of distress prevailing, the
unanimous sentiment of the party is in
favor of small funds for local distribu
tion rather than the creation of public
works of doubtful legality for the sake
of increasing the field of labor or the Or
ganization of relief associations with
wider ramificatiOnS.

The Engineers on the Roads
Centering in st. Paul May
Go on a Strike.
Four Hundred Men Of Division
$50 Hold a Meeting
in the City.
New York Brotherhood Men
Anxious for Trouble All
Along the Line.
The Burlington & Northern
Engineers Will Go Out at
O'Clock Tonight.

The danger signal is up in st. Paul.
1t is possible, and probable, that In
side of forty-eight hours, if not sooner,
st. Paul will be right in line with the
great strike of railroad engineers. At
the present writing, members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
in the city are ON the qui vive and
awaiting information and instructions
from the front. This means the engi-
neers of every road running into st.
Paul.
Four hundred men of Division No.
$50, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
eers, met in their hall on Dayton's Bluff
yesterday afternoon and discussed the
situation. Several speakers addressed
the crowd, and the meeting, though or
derly, was an enthusiastic one. Every
bit Of information possessed by MEM
bers on the situation in Chicago and
elsewhere was eagerly received and
talked over. The meeting was
largely private, and the action
taken, if any, was kept religiOusly
quiet. 1t was plain, however, that the
members are deeply in sympathy with
their Eastern brethren, and will stand
by them, ii told to do so, to the last.
The members of the brotherhood are
disposed to say absolutely nothing, but
a GLOBE reporter was given to under
stand that the above is the situation at
present, and composed of hard. cold
facts. All was quiet and moving as
usual last night through the yards,
shops and rOundhOuSeS.

The Crown Princess Sends Tele-
gram to Queen Victoria.
SAN RENO, March AT 10 o'clock
tonight the general condition of the
German crown prince was unchanged.
The patient passed good night and
good day. He expectorated much less
frequently, and the throat felt more
comfortable. A cold wind was blowing
to-day, but the patient passed a short
by ' screeus. @ Prince William has
postponed his departure. He
spends much time with his father.
Prof. Waldmeyer has not yet visited
the crown prince. He is busy making
microscopic examination of the matter
discharged from the princes throat. 1t
is noted that the doctors are now at
tending to the patient more closely than
ever. DR.. Bergman signed the Sunday
morning bulletin. The crown princes
strength has increased since the sleep
ing draught was discontinued, and
the mucus from his throat is
with blood. A more hopeful feeling
prevails. Prof. Waldmeyer's opinion
will be sent to Berlin and will be given
to the crown princess, but will not be
published. DIR. Mackenzie conferred
two hours with Prof. Waldmeyer to-day.
1t is stated that the crown princess has
sent telegram to Queen Victoria, say
ing: "God be thanked. There is again
room for hope"
On Saturday evening the crown
prince had complete dinner served for
the first time since the operation, and
he enjoyed 1t very much.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Frank Ryan Wanted Mrs. Howard
TO ftlOpe With Him.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb.. March 4.-Frank Ryan,
who shot and killed his paramOur, Mrs.
Helen Howard, in wine room in this
city on Friday, is being held on charge
of murder in the first degree, preferred
by the coroner's jury, which ended its
deliberations at late hour last night.
lit was proven that Ryan had urged
Mrs. Howard to elope him on several
occasions, and that upon her refusal to
do SO had threatened to kill her. Dur
ing the inquest Ryan took the stand
and repeated his statement that the
shooting was accidental. While he was
testlfying, the mother of Mrs. Howard,
Mrs. Scott, caused sensation among the
spectators, when she suddenly turned
upon Ryan and cried out: You swore
you'd kill her, you black leg, and
you've done it." Ryan seemed unaf-
fected by the OutburSt, and when Mrs.
Scott had finished speaking, calmly con-
tinued the account of his illicit rela-
tions with Mrs. Howard. He had been
in Omaha about two months previous to
the shooting and came here from Fort
Robinson, where he had been dis
charged from the regular army on the
ground of disability. He came to Ne
braska from Springfield, Ill where he
has two brothers, one of whom is doc
tor and the other druggist. He is said
to be wanted in Illinois on several Grim
inal charges,

A LESSON TO MEXICANS.
Bloody Result Of a Shooting ARRAY at
Eagle Pass, Tex.
A LIEUTENANT SHOT DEAD
Atrocious Treatment of Mexican De.
serter---The Government Ap-
pealed To.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, March 4.-Yester-
day mo ming Capt. Munos, commander
of the soldiers stationed at Piedras
NiegraS, came to this side and asked
permission of the customs inspector
to let four of his men come over ON
horseback and look at some horses they
wanted to buy. They received per-
mission to cross provided they returned
within a short time. A lieutenant and
three soldiers then came over in the
ferry boat, and after talking for some
time with Capt. Munos sharted toward
Frank FoX's brick yard, where a
Mexican who had deserted a few
days ago was at work. The Mexican
saw them coming and concealed himself
under one of the kilns. He was discov-
cred by the Mexican soldiers, who, at
the command of the lieutenant, dragged
him out, beating him over the head with
the butts of their revolvers. While his
men were thus engaged the lieutenant
uncoiled lasso from his saddle, roped
the fugitive and dragged him some dis
tance, the soldiers belabOring him un-
mercifully with their SiX-ShOOterS, and
endeavOring to get him to cross back to
Mexico with them. About this time
Deputy Sheriff White came up and
commanded them to quit, or he
would arrest them. They. in reply,
drew their pistols on him, telling him
to get out of their way or they would
kill him too. White, being unarmed,
ran down to Sheriff Cooke for assist
ance. In the meantime the MeXicanS,
leaving the deserter apparently dead,
IL l~N1, hot, xx,ith MI
inflicted with knives and pistols,
mounted their horses and started
through for the river. When they got
near the ford they encountered White
again, followed by Ed and Will Van
Ripper and Sheriff Cooke.
A FURIOUS FUSILADE
took place. White was shot through
the right hand and fell from his horse,
and the horse ridden by one of the Mex
lean soldiers fell dead from bullet
wound from Winchester. The MeXi-
cans made their escape to the other side
of the river before the Van Ripers and
Cooke could catch them, and the lieu
tenant, who was riding ahead, sue
ceeded in reaching the Mexican bank
and Immediately turned around and
the crowd. which had by this
time assembled on the American
bank. The dismounted soldier
plunged into the river afoot and
was Shot through the head by Ed Van
Ripper when about half way across. Of
the other two. one, corporal, was
wounded by rife shot in the side, and
died soon after reaching the Mexican
shore. The lieutenant had flesh
wound in the face. The people of
both Piedras Negras and Eagle
Pass are indignant at this out
rage upon international friend
ship and demand of the government
protection and retaliation. The civil
authorities claim to be entirely innocent
of the matter, and probably knew moth
ing of it. 1t was a scheme gotten up
entirely by Capt. Munos and his lieuten-
ant. The Mexican whom the soldiers
tried to kidnap is seriously injured, but
will probably recover. United States
Consul Allen has telegraphed an ac-
count of the affair to the secretary of
state at Washington.

He Does Not Want to Strike, but
Will Protect the Brotherhood.
"We're bound to win this strike if we
have to down all the railroads in the
country" said one of the oldest and
most experienced engineers employed
on the Milwaukee road to GLoGE re-
porter last evening. 1--WE are pretty
well satisfied that the 20 is being aided
and encouraged by other lines, with the
purpose of downing the brotherhood.
I've been brotherhood man for more'n
twenty years now, and | tell you
/ should feel pretty bad to see it
20 down; and If can do anything to
prevent it that things not going to
happen. We have no grievance against
the Milwaukee. They used us square,
when we asked to have certain irregu-
larities corrected. But the 20 sys-
TEN has always pursued an unjust
course with Its engineers. The pay
OH that line is much lower than
on any other, and then it takes man
nine or ten years to become what they
call a first-class engineer. As soon as a
man gets this rank he is dismissed for
some trivial cause and the underpaid
man put in his place. l don't believe
in strikes and l should hate to
go out, but it's the 'Q' or the
brotherhood, and we have decided that
the brotherhood must not be broken
up. Here | am, man of over fifty
years. have paid my dues and life in

AFTER THE TRUSTS.
Claus Spreckles Said to Want to
Smash Them.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 4.-Claus
Spreckles, the famous sugar planter of
San Francisco, who is East for the pur-
pose of selecting location for MANI
moth sugar refinery, was seen at the
Continental hotel last night by re-
porter. Mr.. Spreckles, when asked his
opinion of the effect of the proposed re-
duction of the duty on sugar, replied:
''AS far as | am concerned it makes no
difference whether there is any change
in the duty or not. But ! am inclined to
think it would injure the Louisiana
planters, though l do not really know.
The beet sugar industry. which | am en-
deavOring to protect, having now fac
tory in course of erection in California,
may or may not be affected. L do not
think the consumer will get his sugar
cheaper anyhow, as the retail price is
regulated more by supply and demand
than by tariff. Whether reduction at
this time would injure the beet industry
or not, can't say till my experiments
progress further. If my factory does
not pay I'll shutit up and lose the money
have expended"
s'Is it true that you and several others
have organized to fight the present
sugar trust?"
mo; am entirely Independent of
trusts and intend to remain so. 1 am
going to run my new refinery for all it
is worth and sell for what l can get,
regardless of any other organization"
'sWhat do you think of the proposed
tariff bill?"
II have not given it enough attention
to answer that question, but [ think
things we cannot produce in this cOtlll-
try should be free. | do not believe in
any other reduction"
1t is said that Mr.. Spreckles is going
to give the trust good deal of trouble (;
in fact, break that organization up.
That the coast planter is fighter needs
no further testimony to prove. His
whole attitude has been one of antag-
onism to combines, and he has always
refused to enter into any of them,
though great inducements have been
offered him to join. He has numerous
agents working for him all over the
East, and when he starts in the trust
might as we'll dissolve.

which is unfinished business. The next
work in order is the undervaluation
bill, reported Feb. IA by Mr.. Allison,
from the committee on finance. Chair
man Sherman, of the committee on
foreign relations, says he will call up
his Chinese immigration bill at the
earliest day possible, but that he does
not think there will be any time for it
during the present week. After the
morning hour in the house tomorrow
the committee on elections will call up
the contested case of MeDuffee VS..
Davidson, from the Fourth district of
Alabama. Two reports on this case
were submitted Feb. 25, partisan lines
being drawn, the majority reporting
in favor of Davidson, while the
minority report declares McDuffee enti-
tied to the seat. The committee will
ask for seven days in which to debate
the case, and it is believed that Monday
and Tuesday will be consumed by it.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
have been specially set aside for the
consideration of bills reported from the
committee on Indian affairs. 1t is
not likely, however, that more than two
of the three days will be left for the
committee. Among the measures to be
considered is the one opening the great
Sioux Indian reservation in Dakota.

LONDON. March 4.-Lord Colin Camp
BELLS attempt, which terminated in the
courts yesterday, to obtain his discharge
in bankruptcy as the result of his in
ability to pay his debts, failed miser-
ably. The judges decided that the law
required that legitimate bankruptcy
must result solely from misfortune over
which the applicant for discharge had
no control, whereas Lord Collins failure
was caused by the divorce proceedings
lie had instituted against his wife, over
which he had full control. 1t was not
misfortune within the meaning of the
law that he had expended his money in
counsel fees and other legal expenses in
his endeavor to obtain from his wife a
divorce which the jury had decided he
was not entitled to.

be true, and at midnight Vice President

the district attorney letter giving rea-
sons why the Kansas City bondholders'
case against Messrs. Gould and Sage
should be pressed upon the attention
of the new grand jury, despite
the failure of the last grand jury
to indict. They hold that the court
erred in informing the grand jury that
the law as to limitations in such cases
is settled. The court should have ad-
mitted that difference of opinion exists
in legal minds, and should have favored
an Indictment in order to bring the case
into court and permit of settling Of

While Workingmen Are Prose-
cuted Under the Conspiracy
Law.
New York, March AT to-day's
meeting of the Central Labor union it
was resolved to ask the legislature to
pass the nine-hour law, with stringent
provisions for its enforcement. An at
tempt was made by the Knights of La
Dor to expel John Morrison, master
workman of suspended District Assem-
bly, 1876, carpet workers. 1t was asserted
that he had no right to represent the
carpet workers, as he is machinist and
has been discarded by his fellow-crafts-
men. The socialists upheld Morrison
and the motion was defeated by vote
of 20 to 81. Morrison offered resOlu
tion denouncing the district attorney for
prosecuting workingmen under the
conspiracy law, while such men as
Gould, Sage, Flynn and Squire are per-
mitted to go unpunished. 1t was
adopted. Several more boycotts against
bosses who refuse to employ union men
were ordered.
