THE WEST nlvER pAnK.

A Conference of the Park Commission.
 Committee on Squares and Truatees
 of the Town Farm Last NIght-The
 Commission to Conduct the Changes.
 A conference of the trustees of the old town farm and the members of the park commis- sion and committee on squares was held in the mayors office at city hall last night in reference to the new West river park.
 AS is we'll known, the court of common council ordered the layout of the park and assessed damages and benefits about year ago. After this action a law was passed by the legislature providing that the control and management of all parks shall be in the hands of the park commission or some like body of the municipality. The court of common council could therefore take no fur ther steps in the matter.
 Last evening the committee on squares ad- vised the park commission to take charge oi the direction of the new park. This the gen. tlemen decided to do. It was left to the commission to get advice from Corporation Counsel Townsend and to have him draw ur the necessary legal papers to transfer the di. rection and control of the park to the parl commission.

A CHURCH STREET DOC FIGHT.

Dog Create cutie a Sensation.
 William Harrison has a deg of which he is proud. The dog is also proud and his pride sometimes assumes so unpleasant bearing that it cannot endure the sight of another canine of equally fair proportions. Last night Harrison and his dog were walking down Church street when the dog became engaged in savage dispute with another dog. The masters of tho two dogs each took such lively interest in the fracas that g large crowd was soon attracted to the place. Several other dogs also dropped around to evince their interest in the affair. Officer Dippold happened along and tried to stop the fight. Before he could do this, however, it was found necessary to. take Harrison to the police station.

LABOR MATTERS.
ILLINOIS MINERS NEGOTIATING A
SETTLEMENT.
The American Federation of Labor
Backing the Coal Diggers in Their
Demands.

CHICAGO, May S.-A local paper says
that the strike of coal miners of North
ern Illinois has been settled, and the
executive committee of the National
Miners Union will issue circular to
the men tonight ordering them to re-
turn to work Monday. 1t is expected
on that day that all miners in the
state will resume operations. A Joint
| conference committee was in session all
day. The basis of the agreement is the
agreement submitted to the miners by
the operators at the recent Joint conven-
ton, with some amendments to meet
the mems views. 1t is understood that
the terms of the continuance of the
agreement are con tingent on the success
OF the miners securing the same condi-
tiOns from the Southern Illinois opera
tors. Should they fail, the present
agreement will be void, and strike will
follow in which the miners will be sup
ported by the American Federation of
Labor.
PrrTsBURG, May SIN regard to the
report that the miners of the United
States, numbering $4,000, had affiliated
with the American Federation Of Labor,
and will strike for eight hours, Vice
President Martin, of the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor said tonight it was de-
cided at the New York meeting that
after the carpenters strike was settled,
the demand of the miners should
be presented. The carpenters strug-
gle is regarded as over, and
whenever the miners were ready, the
federation will take charge of the mat
ter. So far, however, they have not
notified the federation officials of their
intention to demand eight hours. The
coal operators here say the idea of coal
miners striking for eight hours is ridicu-
lous. The men are paid by the bushel,
and not by the day. They are masters
OF their own time.
CHICAGO, May S.-The colored walters
in Kingsley's restaurant struck at noon
for reformation in hours of work and
wages. Others are expected to strike
before Monday.
Boston, May S.-The building laborers
have decided to postpone their contem-
plated strike until after the meeting of
the master masons, at which action is
expected upon the mems demands. The
PAYERS voted to work but nine hours
after Monday.
SEATTLE, Wash, May S.--The strike
of the steamboat men on Puget sound
was settled today by the companies ac-
ceding to the demand of the employees
for an increase in wages.

ences between the crews of the freight
trains on the Umatilla division of the
Union Pacific railway and the company
have been settled satisfactorily, and

carpenters were arrested today for inter-
fering with non-union men.
