A. r.. U. CONVENTION.
will be the Most Notable Gathering
of Railway Men Ever Held.

will De the Most Notable Gathering
of Railway Men Ever Held,
Chicago, June Pat 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning there will assemble in
this city perhaps the most notable body
of railway men ever gathered together in
this country. 1t is the second annual
convention of the American Railway
union, and the 415 delegates who will
assemble will represent every branch of
the railway business, from the men who
' lay the track and keep it in repair to
those who man the trains, which, with
their human freight, have almost come to
annihilate time and space. Among the
| matters which will come before the con-
yention and that which has the greatest
local interest is the big strike of the
! Pullman employees. What action the con-
vention will take in this matter cannot
yet be told, as only one-fourth of the
delegates have arrived, but it is almost
certain that boycott will be declared
agoinst the Pullman company's cars. This
action may involve the union in several
big railroad strikes which will tie up
the passenger traffic Of almost the entire
country.

1he Sugar Meeting At SenatOrBr1ceS
House s'
Washington, June 12.-Senator Caffrey
vent before the sugar trust investigating
committee to-day to amplify the the state
n ent heretofore made by him concerning
his meeting with Mr.. Havemeyer at Sen
ator Brice's house. He was reported in
his former testimony to have said that he
had been requested to see Mr.. Have
meyer, ''who happened to be in Senator
Brice's house," but he had not stated the
amer in which Havemeyer happened to
be there, which he wished to do to-day.
prior to seeing Mr.. Havemeyer," MIR.
Caffery said, there was discussion be-
tween those present and ex-senator White
and myself as to the comparative merits
Of the ad valorem and specific rates of
duty on sugar. There was great deal
of difference Of opinion on this point,
and Senator Brice stated that there was
| gentleman in the city who knew more
| about the operation of any given rate of
duty on sugar than perhaps any other
man in the United States, and that if it
| were agreeable he would send for him.
That man was Mr.. Havemeyer. Senator
Brice asked me if I had any objection
| to meeting Mr.. Havemeyer and having a
| discussion with him on THIS particular
| point. told him had not. I simply
| desire to state that Mr.. Havemeyer
! came to the house in pursuance of the
invitation Of Mr. Brice."
I Henry r. Reed went before the com
mittee and was examined at some length
Mr.. Reed added that he knew nothing
of any speculation in sugar stocks by
! United States senators. Esr
The committee has decided to report
Mr.. Chapman's refusal to answer its
questions to the senate and will probably
not ask him to appear again. The pro
ceedings will be similar to those in the
case of Edwards and Shriver. The com
mittee will report the facts, accompanying
the report and full transcript of Mr.
Chapman's testimony with resolution
directing the vice president to certify tt
the facts to the district attorney.
The resolution about holding the in
vestigation with open doors came VI
again and an effort was made to ALLOW
the public access to the proceedings. Thu
matter was discussed at some length
but when put to vote the committee de
cided to proceed in executive session.

A Woman Passes Away Under I

A Woman Passes Away Under Pee
culiar Circumstances. &
! ST. Paul, June Late last night the;
Rondo police patrol was called to 91S
Thomas street to remove woman who
was dangerously ill. She gave her name
as Anna Doyle, and was suffering from
blood poisoning resulting from child birth.
She came to 91S Thomas street about ten
days ago, and, walking in, sat down..
saying: Il am going to stay here for a
few days." and in less than half an
hour gave birth to child. No physician
was called until yesterday, when she
grew apparently worse, and DR.. Hanleys
was called. As soon as he saw her he
told the family she might, in all proba-
bility, die within twenty-four hours, and
that her only hope was to be removed to.
the city hospital, as I was impossible to
give her the attention she needed in q
private house. The Rondo wagon was
called, and within ten minutes after the
start had been made the woman died.
Her body was ordered sent to O'Halloran
& Murphy's where it is lying now. No
autopsy will be held.

suspected Plates Will BE Removed
From a Vessel. bf5 NJ
{ Washington. June L. The armor
5flate investigating committee intends TO-
make a new move toward locating weak
spots on warships. 1t is expected that
tie navy department will be asked to
take off certain plates of the gunboats
Machias and subject them to tests. The
Machias is now in the Brooklyn navy
yard where she has been cut in two for
the purpose of frightening. Her condi-
ticn is such that it is believed certain
defective plates can be traced by
specific numbers, and when located can
be Cnshipped and put to test.
q Lieut.. Alderman was again before the
committee to-day. He gave the history
of some of the plates with view to To-
eating their present whereab bouts. He
also gave addition al evidence Of the
methods of work of government inspec-
ton at the Carnegie works. The witness
said the Carnegie company knew in adj
vance what plates would be selected from
groups for tests. The, irregular cold
water baths secretly given to plates as
disclosed by some Of the informers, would
make the plate structurally weak and sub
ject to be cracked by shot The evil
del ce of one of the informers located
such plate on the coming tower Of the
New York. Chairman Catchings read
frt m the evidence of one Of the informers,
Kountz, to the effect that he had Sc
cured the government stamp from Lieut.
Wilmer, who was in, charge of the stamp.
Kountz, in this testimony, went on to give
! hume rous hearsay reports as to witness
habits It was stated that the lieuten.
ant played cards and drank during the
| evening at hotel near the works. A
young woman employed at the hotel haC
told the informers of helping the Officer
to his room on one occasion. As to thu
armor of the Terror, Lieut.. Ackermal
! said he had visited the ship and had 10
/ Gated two plates containing the defects
disclosed by the infcrmers. :.

She Saw Them Drink Beer.

Alpena, s. D., June 9.-Mrs. Emma
Cranmer, president of the South Dakota
w. G. T. u, is up in arms, and when she
gets back to Aberdeen will probably write
a sharp letter to the officials of the Mil
waukee railway. She boarded north
bound freight at Alpena, after delivering
an address here, and was shocked to be-
hold a number Of men about as close as
they could get to key which is said
to have contained beer. The conductor
who had charge of the train asked her
to please step to the other end of the
car and she would not be shocked. She
is likely not only to take the matter to
the state courts, but to the railroad COM
missioners.
