Camel.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 24.-The
Republicans were tired yesterday, but
they are weary to-day. Senator Alli-
son, the accepted leader of the Repub-
licans in the senate, went to Senator
Beck, chairman of the Democratic cau-
Gus, yesterday morning, and asked hima
how the Democrats would receive q
proposition to take recess for three
weeks. "Do you ask that question
authoritatively ?" was Beck's canny
Scotch inquiry. "No, sir" said Allf-
son, 81 merely ask for personal in:
formation, as have been thinking of a
possibility of thus securing needed
rest and vacation" Senator Beck re-
sponded: II need a little rest myself,
but l can say for the Democrats of this
body, as party we are not tired, and
intend to stay here until the Republican
majority take up and consider the Mills
bill and pass it, or else offer a substi-
tute." Senator Allison smilingly turned
away, and regained his Republican as
sociates with his usual imperturbabiI-
ity; but he had been hard hit. Within
two hours thereafter the presidents
message was delivered to the senate,
and that seemed to be the last straw to
break the backbone of their hopes.

DONNELLY. WOulQ Do stolen
from Scheffer on September 5.
No hope was expressed of electing
Donnelly, but he was to be secret ally
of Merriam, and if the latter was nomi-
nated decline the labor nomination and
let it go to the devil.
The Merriam-Newel faction have
counted upon Donnelly's connivance in
4his, because while Merriam is under
pledges to Sabin to help him for the
United States senatorship, it is common
rumor that he has given the same
pledges to Donnelly. Donnelly will be
home in day OF two, and it remains to
be seen whether he falls into the trap
or not.
This story is now on the tongues of
all the politicians. and they give Mer-
riam-the millionaire-the credit of
being behind this labor ticket scheme
and of having the encouragement of
the railroads in it.

Victims of the Explosion at Nee

Grave-A City in Mourning.
NEENAH, Wis, Aug. 24.-Business is
suspended in Menasha to-day, and the
city is in deep gloom. All of the fac
tories and mills on the water power are
shut down, and will remain so until
after the funeral of the victims of yes
terday's horror. Three of the wounded
are very low and are not expected to
live. The funeral of John Webber, Louis
Roesch, Frank Sandhove, M. Muntner,
Sebastian Leibhauser and Frank
Schiller, six of the dead, occurred this
morning. The services were held in
st. Mary's Catholic church, and were
very impressive. A large wagon used
at one of the factories was used as a
catafalque, going from house to house
until six coffins were laid thereon. 1t
was heavily draped and festooned in
mourning, and presented very impress
sive scene. The relatives, friends and
city officials and many citizens followed
after in carriages, and made long pro-
ceSsion. The bodies were inferred i'll
the Catholic cemetery north of the city,
This afternoon relatives and friends
followed the remains of four more of
the victims to their last resting place.
The funeral service of Joseph Brueg-
ger and Henry KnOelke occurred from
the Luthern church, and that of Jacob
Vetter from the Methodist, while those
over the body of Gilbert Mericle was
held at his home. The bodies were in
tered in Oak Hill cemetery. southwest
of Neenah. The various lodges and
societies, of which several of the de-
ceased we're members, attended the re-
spective funerals in a body. The
funeral of the other four victims will
occur tomorrow morning. The city de-
trays the expenses of the funerals of
he victims,

evening, at the Polk street depot. Mr..
Thurman was assisted from the train
by John A. King and Collector Seeber-
ger. Supported on either side by these
gentlemen, the "Old Roman" passed
through the crowd that filled the depot,
to the carriage in waiting to convey
him to the Palmer house. AS soon as
Mr.. Thurman alighted from the train
the crowd began to cheer and
wave bandanas. He acknowledged
the greetings by raising his hat
and bowling as he went along.
Arriving at the hotel Mr.. Thurman
was taken at once to his rooms and
after resting a few moments he was
escorted to the club room, where the
reception committee of the county
Democracy were awaiting him. Ad-
dressing the reception committee, MI.
Thurman said he saw before him Demo
Gratis, and therefore reasonable men.
AS such he was sure they would not ask
him to make speech. He thanked the
committee very cordially for the honor
of which he was the recipient at their
hands, and hoped that when the sun set
on election day next November
1T WOULD SET ON VICTORY.
He felt not only honored, but en-
couraged, by their presence. They were
fighting in a righteous cause, and what,
ever labor it might cost was labor we'll
bestowed. At the close of his remarks,
Mr.. Thurman'S attention was directed
to the table behind him, on which
rested mammoth floral bandana.
and Jacob Richards, in behalf OF
many OF the travelingmen Of the
county presented it to him. The red
ground work of the piece is composed
OF red asters, the dots of white carna-
tions, and the border of gladiOlaS set in
carnations and 'bOrdered with SmilaX.
After the speeches Mr.. Thurman again
retired to his room, but he was not long
allowed to remain there. The crowd
packed the big rotunda and kept up
constant calling for him, their staccatO
method of shouting Thurman, Allan
u. Thurman" finally drawing him out
once more for
A GOODNIGHT APPEARANCE.
During the evening, after supper, a
few persons managed to get into the
Judges parlOr but he wished to retire
early and the doors were soon fastened,
and after vainly shouting for third
appearance the crowd, finally, at a late
hour. dispersed. During the even
ing Mrs. Sarah E. Brownell called and
presented an allegorical picture
prophesying Judge Thurman's election.
From here the Judge will quietly re-
turn home, but the time of departure
has not yet been given to the public.
The programme for Saturday will be
started soon after noon and includes a
big parade followed by speech at
Cheltenham beach, resort twelve miles
below the city. 1t is fully expected
that $4,000 people will be in attendance
and grand barbecue will be the fea-
ture of the day,

the Merriam and Scheffer strength is a
problem.
The men of the Omaha shops are re-
ported to have said:
"Scheffer is with the farmers of the
state, who demand reduced rates on
freight. This would force the railroads
to reduce our wages, and therefore we
will work for Merriam"
They base their opinion on this plank
of the Scheffer platform aud which MI.
Scheffer is pledged to maintain:

A FUNNY CLUB
Organized to Prevent Lower Rail-
road Rates.

road Rates.
Last evening delegation from Min
neapolis representing the Railroad En-
ployes' Club of Minnesota, came to ST.
Paul to organize a branch club.
The preamble to the constitution of
this club states:
"The highest court in this state has
decided that the railroad commission
may make any rate they please for the
railroads, whether it pays for the service
or not. A majority of legal voters make
the commission by electing the COVER
nor. The railroad employees are voters,
and have right to help make the rates.
They are entitled to fair days wages
for fair days work, and cannot gel
it unless the railroads get fair
price for services rendered. The
tendency of late is towards a heavy
reduction in railroad rates. This con-
dition has assumed such proportions
that our railways are getting neither
fair nor living prices, and sas a result
their employees cannot get fair wages.
In union among ourselves we shall find
strength to protect our interests, and we
shall not find it in any other way. We,
the railroad employees on railroads cen
tering in Minneapolis, agree to form an
our social and intellectual improve
ment. and to prevent by all legitimate
and honorable means hostile action
from the legislature, the commission
and the courts, and invite the earnest
cooperation of all railroad employees in
the state for those purposes"
About $50 employees from the railroad
shops at st. Paul met the Minneapolis
delegation at the Drake block, IN the
Sons of Veterans hall. James Burnes
arose and accused Joseph Ellis, of the
Omaha shops. of going to the Manitoba
shops and telling the men there that if
Seheffer was nominated wages would be
reduced in the shops and men thrown
out of employment. Mr.. Ellis denied
this, but on several parties making the
accusation he sat down and said nothing
more. On the adjournment of the
meeting dozen clerks from the general
offices joined the new club. but the shop
men walked out without doing SO.
