Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 30.-A tie up of
the entire San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railroad system is threatened.
The cause Of the trouble is the dis
charge about q week ago at Yoakum
of Conductor O'Brien by Superintend.
ent Geo. Sands for leaving his train
unprotected. Mr.. O'Brien was at first
ordered on the extra force for the of.
Tense, but refused to comply with the
order, demanding that he be reinstat
ed. After several days parleying
Superintendent Sands agreed to put
him on his old run, but would not al
low pay for the time lost pending the
investigation.
When Mr.. O'Brien protested at this
he was discharged. The local division
of the Order of Railway Conductors
took the matter up, but Mr.. Sands re-
fused all their demands, and an ap-
peal was made to headquarters Of the
order In answer to this appeal A. b.
Garretson, assistant grand chief of
the Order of Railway Conductors, ar
rived here this morning and met Mr..
Sands and the grievance committee.
Nothing was accomplished at the con-
ference and another meeting will be
held tomorrow. Mr.. Sands positively
refuses to reinstate Mr.. O'Brien and If
he does not change this determination
the conductors, engineers, firemen
and brakemen of the road will go on
strike.

TO AID MR.. MILLS.
An Offer From One Hundred Democrats to 90
to Washington,

Special to The Statesman.
BRYAN, Tex, Nov. 30.-Gen. Fl. B.
Stoddard, at the solicitation of many
friends of Col. Roger Q. Mills, tonight
forwarded to Col. Jas. Clarity of Cor
sica the following message:
Communicate with Col. Mills, and
if he thinks 100 Democrats from Texas
viii do him any good in Washington
they are at his service. Texas
while claiming nothing for herself
believes that some consideration is
due the banner Democratic state o
the Union and would feel herself hon
ored beyond measure in the selection
of her favorite son as speaker of the
next congress.
Col. Mills friends are moved to this
suggestion by the action of the Demo-
cratic members of the Illinois legisla-
ture, who are to soon visit Washing
ton City in the interest of Mr..
Springer for speaker.

THE BEALs KIDNAPPING.
The Father of the Child Declines to Prose-
cute the AbduCtors.

The Father Of the Child Declines TO Prose-
cute the Abductors.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 29.-Public ex-
element over the Beals kidnapping
has subsidized to a very great extent,
principally because Of the public an
nouncement that Beals will not prose-
cute the abductors. Beals claims that
his honor is involved, because he gave
his word that he would ask 30 ques-
tions if his child was only returned.
The police say that the promise relates
only to the person who returned the
child, and it ought not to allow him
to refrain from doing all in his power
to convict the Kings, now under ar
rest for the crime. Despite the de-
cline of public interest in the case the
prisoners are still kept at Indepen-
dence, out of the way of q possible at
tempt at iynching. The man that
returned the child to his home and
got the reward is still being searched
for by the police. No traceof him has
been found and the police believe he
has succeeded in getting out of town.
Prosecuting Attorney Marcy Bro wn.
in an interview, stated that Beals had
nothing whatever to do with the pros
ecution of the prisoners further than
that he might be called upon to tes-
tify at the trial. If he declined to
testify then he might be imprisoned
for contempt or arrested as an accom-
pIice, after the fact, in assisting in the
escape of the man to whom the ran
som was paid.

Politics Getting Interesting.

As the autumn approaches, political
spoils are beeing looked after by those
who think the party owes them some
thing for past services, with good deal
of interest. The number of candidates
is legion. but the offices are few in num-
Der The only chance of success there
fore is to get into the good graces of
those who parcel them out and after
wards send the names to the nominating
conventions for public announcement.
The Annapolis correspondent of the
Sun. who has means of information not
given to every one. has this to say to his
paper of Yesterday: after municipal
election in Annapolis in July the politi
clans will begin an active canvass of the
seven districts in Anne Arundel for
nomination to the various county offices.
In fact. the fight has already commenced
in quiet way, but the friends of the
various applicants are not prepared to
show their hands so early in the cam
paign 1t Is said a vigorous contest will
be made over the sheriffalty which is the
est.paying Office in the batch. The la
test applicant for this place is Mr.. Thigh
man Howard, an ex-member of the Leg
islature. Mr.. Howard is resident of
the first district, where DR.. C. Morris
Cheston, an active supporter of DR..
Wells, resides. DR.. Cheston may con-
sent to enter the race ms a senatorial
candidate, as he did four years ago,
when George N. Potee received the
nomination by the convention. The leg
islative sspirants in the first district are
James R. Brashears and B. Allen Welsh.
DIR. Wells, it is thought, will receive the
unanimous Endorsement of the county
for clerk of the Court of Appeals"
