ARTHUR is A MoNorHEIsr.
The brotherhood Solemnly Warned
Against Strange Gods.


DENVER. Oct 16--The twenty sixth an
nual convention Of the locomotive engineers
began here this afternoon. Chief Arthur de-
livered his annual address, in the course Of
which he said.
''rhe present to me represents the turning
point in the history of the order, for 1t has
become apparent that a feeling essentially
radical has crept in end taken possession of
our members. This is dangerous
and must be suppressed, for owing
to this statements seemingly contra
dictory have been made public which
could never have happened had there been
the former oneness of thought and honesty
OF purpose If n mans ability extends be-
yond that required by the brotherhood, then
it becomes his duty to uoff the begrimed ha-
biliments of the mechanic and assume the
position for which he is particularly htted."
Mr.. Arthur admonished the members to
keep their personality intact and not to allow
falso gods to induce them to subscribe to
laws which, as soon as passed, will make
them cognizant of the necessity for their
repeal. He reiterated with emphasis the
statement that the brotherhood is law-abiding
and that the strikes are only sanctioned as
last resort.
The membership Of the order is about 26-
000 Since its organization s2,GOS, 700 has
been paid out to widows, orphans and dis
abled members.
In conclusion he said he trusted that in all
the discussions of differences which may
arise the members, while giving frank ex-
preston to their thoughts, "will carefully
guard against that spirit of dogmatism
which would call upon others 10 square their
thoughts and opinions with our own
No reference was made in the address to
either the question OF federation or the late
Burlington strike, to the apparent disap-
pontment of number of delegates.
The contest for headquarters evidently lies
between Denver and (,lnyelpnd C,hicapO he
ing knocked out entirely by the Illinois con-
spiracy laws. The west is supporting Den
YER, and the east favors Cleveland, while the
southern delegates are divided.

of Stafford, early this morning. Seventy
miners were in the pit at the time of the ac-
cident, only eleven of whom are alive. The
pit was completely wrecked, and the task of
getting out the buried miners will be one OF
great difficulty. A band Of volunteers is
now engaged in making explorations for the
recovery of the bodies. Alrea dy fifty bodies
have been recovered.
The bodies recovered show the victims
died OF gas poisoning. The rescUers were
compelled to relinquish work by the accum-
ulation Of gas.
me latest advlees from the scene state
that tire is raging and other explosions are
feared.
The underground manager Is among the
victims. The record of the men down IN the
mine is lost, hence IL il impossible to verify
the number. The latest estimate is that
sixty persons were killed.

police court was crowded with the lights of
Capel court to-day to hear the charge against
the three financial journalists who were ar
rested yesterday for blackmal. The Lon
don edition of the Herald scored great beat
over the other London morning papers with
the exclusive story of the arrest, and soon
after the brokers arrived on the exchange it
was almost impossible to get a copy of the
paper at any price. The usual large supply
of Heralds was sold at an early
hour and as high as 10 shillings
were offered for single copy. Ia front of
Guildhall stood knots of brokers, who
could not get into the court room, reading
the Herald-that Is, one man read aloud and
fifteen or twenty other men clustered around
him like bees. inside the court the same
scene was witnessed. Hundreds of eyes
sparkled and smiles ran all around the room
when a detective displayed the little bags of
gold sovereigns which were found on the
Office table when he arrested the defendants.
Another sensation was the announcement
that Sir Charles Russell, Q G, NJ p, had been
specially retained as leading counsel for the
prosecution. The proceedings, however,
simply consisted of proving the arrest, after
which the defendants wero remanded
until next Tuesday and were held in bail of
$4,000 each. Later in the day tho defend
ants counsel applied to Justice Denman,
sitting in chambers, for an injunction to re-
strain the London edition of the Herald
from publishing anything further on the
case. The injunction was granted, but the
Herald will, despite this, publish full page
of the story, giving reports of the proceed
ings of to-day

urged him not TO press the resignation. but
to withdraw it. Moody persisted. however,
as he supposed the war was practically at an
end when the battle OF Chattanooga was
fought.
Once before-in 1S72-when Colonel Moody
was q candidate for delegate TO congress, an
attack upon his military record similar to the
one which is now beng made was pressed
vigorously. But General Hazen, who hap
pened to be In Dakota at that time, promptly
took up the cudgel, and declared that all of
the charges against Colonel Moody were ma
licious fabrications, and he published state
ment to that effect. At the war department
and in Indiana circles where most is known
of Colonel Moody's career during the war, he
stands very high, not only as a soldier, but
as n man.
