CANNOT ALL STRIKE.
Worlds Fair Carpenters in Some
thing of Quandary.
There Is an Agreement Under Which
Number of Them Must
Keep on Working.
Special to The MoRNlSa CALL

CHICAGO, April 3-The Worlds Fair
Board of Control this afternoon, at the con-
clusion of a con ference with the representa-
tives of the Carpenters Union, refused to
sign the new union scale. The Worlds
Fair people also declined to arbitrate as to
whether none but union men should be en-
plOyed on the grounds. OF the 1900 carpen-
ters employed on the grounds, about 700are
hired by the Exposition Company and the
remainder by the contractors. The threat
ened strike, if it occurs, viii involye the 700
men employed by the Exposition Company
and those employed by such contractors as
have not signed the union scaIe-about 1000
in all
The WoIld's Fair people say that the
strike will have but little effect as far as
they are concerned; that their work Is so
far advanced that anybody who can drive a
nail can finish it, and that men to take the
places ofany who strike will be plenty.
There is in this city an association OF
carpenter bosses known as the Carpenters
and Builders Association" II has an
agreement with the Carpenters Union by
which it agrees TO employ none bat union
men, and it is provided in the agreement
that carpenters employed by the members
Of the association Will not strike during the
year, all ma terS uI0n which trouble might
arise being covered by this agreement. To-
day President Cogswell Of this association
met the Worlds Far council in company
with some of his associates on behalf of the
men, saying that they felt justified in ask
Ing the exposition managers TO conform to
The agreement, as it had proved accepiabi5
to nearly all employers and lRborers of the
city.
President Higinbotham replied that he
did not see how the exposition could be
expec ed to modify at this late day the con-
tract IL had made with union labor at the
very outset.
General St. Clair. president of the Ma
tional Commission, said that as an officer Of
the Government it would be illegal for him
to vote for a proposition which clearly in
volved discrimination between citizens who
belonged to the union and those who did
not.
The members of the Carpenters and
Builders Association held a meeting this
evening to discuss the question and to
decide whether they shall suspend their
contract with the meD and allow them to
strike. 1t was finally decided not to allow
any of the men under agreement with them
TO strike.
This confines the strike to such contractors
as had not signed the agreement as stated
above

NOT MUCH OF A HERO.

Portland.

rlan Who Tore Up the Track
Near Drain.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

PORTLAND, April 3.-George E. Richard
SOD. WHO dramatically tagged the Southern
Pacific passenger train near Drain last Fri
day morning and informed the conduc, OF
that the track had been torn up, was ar
rested and placed in the county Jail to-
night on warrant charging him with
having attempted to wreck the train.
The first iutimation that Richardson was
suspected of being n wrecker came in a
dispatch yesterday from Sheriff holland OF
Lane County to Sheriff Kelly of MultnOmah
County. This afternoon Sheriff holland
came TO this city aud proceeding 10 the hos
pital where Richardson was confined placed
him under arrest. holland says he has Sc
cured evidence sufficient to justify the
arrest. A Deputy Sheriff has been in the
hospital watching Richardson since yester-
day.
When seen at the jail tonight Richardson
denied that he removed the rail from the
track. His Injuries are merely superficial
and he is not suffering. 1t is generally be-
lieved that lie inflicted the injuries on him
self.
In October, 1892. Richardson tagged a
Union Pacific train between Baker City and
Pendleton when it was about to run into a
bowlder on the track. He received 50 re-
ward from passengers, but the company
suspected that he had rolled the bowlder
on the track, though they had no conclusive
evidence.
Before Richardson was taken from the
hospital Tonight Superintendent Fields
of the Southern Pacific and Superintendent
Minister of Pinkerton's Detective Agency
had an interview with him. They en-
deavored to secure a confession from him,
and were partly successful
He admitted that he rolled the bowlder on
the Union Pacific track, but answered
evaSively when asked if he removed the
rail from the Southern Pacific track. He
will be taken to Eugene tomorrow.

MUCH DISAPPOINTED.
That Is the Way McCOppin Feels
About Japan.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Franll McCopUin
Is feeling pretty sore over not receiving the
appointment as Minister to Japan. He
thinks the President regarded him favor
ably IN that connection and that he would
surely have appointed him if the delegation
had indoTsed his candidacy. The delega-
ton, on the other hand, say that neither
McCOppin, Thompson nor Dwyer would
have stood any chance whatever, even with
Tie backing Of the entire delegation, after
Allen G. Thurman OF Ohio had requested
the appointment Of Dun as a personal favor
TO himself Between McCuppin, Thomp-
son, Dwyer, Shanahan and Gould the
delegation could not decide, so it recon-
mended no one, Dwyer was not backed by
White, as was generally understood, Either
Gould or Shanahan would probably have
received his support, if any one had, for
they we're actively interested in Whites
success al the Senatorial election. Mr.. Nc
Coppin says he does not feel like asking for
any other place, but If anything comes to
him that would De different.
Senator White leaves tomorrow for Los
Angeles, going via Florida.

ROLLA, n. D.. April S.-Six of the lead
Ing women of this city to-day are lying
wounded and bruised in their beds az the
result of remarkable fight Saturday with
saloon men.
A crusade has been made against the
Blind Pigs" of ROlla under the auspices of

ing of evidence upon which to base prose-
cutons. A committee was appointed TO
make the circuit of the joints. and marched
brayely up the street. followed by two
thirds of the female population of the

The first pig" they came to was presided
over by Lin Bush. He attempted to pre-
vent the entrance of the females, but they
were not to be stopped by trifles. Bush
was tossed to one side. and for the first time
women stood within the sacred precincts of
a North Dakota prohibition dive. An in
ventory of stock was commenced and several
bottles of "hop tea" and several OF xxx
porter were seized.
While the visitors were in tho midst OF
their explorations Landlord Bush returned
with help, and when the women had gath
cred themselves up out of the street several

figured. Proceedings for assault and bat
terry were at once instituted against the

BY POPULAR VOTE.
Why Hoar Opposes the
New Plan.
WOULD WRECK THE SYSTEM
And 1t Would Imply Further That
State Legislatures Had Been False
to Their Trust.
Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, April SIT appears from
a resolution introduced In the Senate to-day
that the debate on the subject Of electiDg
Senators by the direct vote of the people
will be renewed at this extra session. HOar
introduced the resolution, which was antag-
Ouistlc to the proposition, and gave notice
that as soon as convenient after tomorrow
be would address the Senate on the subject.
The resolution asserts that it is ineXpedient
that the resolution sent 10 the Senate by
the House at the last Congress should be
adopted, for such q method of election
would essentially change the character Of
the Senate as conceived by the convention
that formed the constitution and the people
who adopted it.
1t would, the resolution continues, trans
fer the selection Of Senators from LeGisla-
lures. entrusted with all the legislative
powers Of States, to political conventions,
which are bodies having no other RESPONSE
bility; whose election cannot be regulated
by law; whose members vote by proxy;
whose tenure Of Office is for a single day;
whose votes and proceedings are not
recorded and who act under personal
responsibility. 1t requires the substitution
Of piuralites for majurites; transfers the
seat of political power in the States to the
great cltles ana masses OF population :;
creates a new temptation to fraud and will
give rise to numerous election contests, and
II will absolve the larger States from the
constitutional obligation which secures the
equal representation Of all the States in the
Senate by providing that no State shall be
deprived of that equality without its con-
sent.
In conclusion the resolution says that
such a method implies what the whole cur
rent of our history shows to be untrue
that the Senate has, during the past eutury,
failed 10 meet the Just expectations of the
people and that State Legislatures have
proved themselves unfit to be the deposi-
taTies of the power Of electng Senators
The reasons which require this change if
acted upon and carried to their logical re-
suit, will lead to the election, by direct
popular vote and by popular majoritiesI Of
the President and the judiciary, and compel
the placing of these elections under COM
pleie national control 1t will result 10 the
overthrow Of the whole scheme of the
Senate, and, in the end. of the whole scheme
OF the national constitution as designed and
established by its trainers and the people
