Houston (Tex.) special says: conference
was held to-day between committees repre-
senting all the trainmen, excepting engi-
neers and fremen, of the Southern Pacific
system and General Superintendent Van
Week. So far as learned no progress was
made in the situation, which threatens a
strike on the entire system from New Or
leans to San Francisco. The trainmen are
still making efforts TO have the engineers
and fremen join in some demand, so that
should a strike be ordered the entire system
will be tied up. The men demand a mate
rial increase in pay. Tonight Van Week de-
clined to accede, and Monday the committees
will have conference with General Mana
ger Krutchnitt. II he fails TO agree with
their demands the men will appeal to C. P.
Huntington or order general strike. Com
mitteemen say they propose fighting every
inch OF ground. The demand is made by
the o. R. c. and the B. r. B. There is al
ways friction between the engineers and the
road, and should they join the other train
men and the demands bs refused, the greatest
strike every seen on the American Cont
nent would ensue-one which would test
the strength of both sides Just as the Knights

Som

murder was committed last night, the vic
tins of which are Mrs. Gretzsn Lenzen-
hager, who kept a saloon. and her fifteen
year old son George. The woman was

and are on the lookout
DR.. Buchanan made an autopsy this even-
ing and declares the tragedy was n case Of
murder and suicide. He asserts that facts

A PLOT DISCOVERED.
Wholesale Arrests in Russia Of Alleged Con-
spirators


LONDON, Nov. 13. A widespread con-
spiracy to create n representative assembly
has been discovered in Russia. Moscow is
the center. Advices from st. Petersburg
state the authorities there are becoming
more and more suspicious as the internal
situation of the empire continues to grow
more critical. There is considerable uneasi-
ness regarding the status OF affairs through
out the empire. AS result of this feeling
the marshals of nobility, who are exercising
power and residing in different parts of the
country, haze been warned that they will
be held responsible for any manifestation
of political leelI G against the Government
which may occur IN the provinces of the
local administrations under their control.
Sons surprise was expressed in this city
upon the receipt OF the dispatch to-day an
nouncing that extraordinary activity was
being displayed by the Russian Government
In connection with the internal disturbances
In the empire. 1t was thought at first that
the Governments action was due to the
troubles arising from the scarcity OF food in
many districts of Russia, as for some da Us
past dispatches have been received depict
Ing the terrible suiferiDgs OF the starving
peasants Many acts OF lawlessness have
been Committed by men rendered desperate
by the pangs of hunger, and the statement
made that the marshals of nobility would
be held to strict account for any pult-
ical disturbances in their districts was taken
to mean that the starving peasants and
small farmers we're assuming a threatening
attitude. A dispatch was received this
evening however, that puts all speculatons
TO flight.
A short time ago it came to the knowl-
edge OF the police that conspiracy was
under way. While secretly pursuing in-
vestigations 10 st. Petersburg the police
found that the conspirators in that CITY
were only 4 part of numerous baud, the
headquarters of which we're located In
Moscow. They learaed. also that the con-
spirators had been very active in securing
sdherents to their plan, and the conspiracy
had ramifcations. which spread to all the
principal cities Of the empire. The object
Of the conspiracy, unlike the majority of
plots discovered in Russia, was pot to Kill
the Car, but was an organization of a
movement having for its end the creation of
representative assembly, an object which
has been the dream of many years. Sixty
members OF the nobility aud of the upper
and middle classes, charged with completely,
have been arrested. The students of all the
universities are under strict surveillance.
The discovery of the plot and the arrest of
so many prominent subjects has caused a
decided sensation in Russia.
