It is an interesting fact that while
American wood engravers have been
almost driven from their chosen field
Of book and periodical illustration,
they have brought their art up to its
highest point and the best Of them are
still struggling to do better. Half a
score of the best American wood en-
gravers are perhaps more truly artists
than any Of their predecessors on this
side Of the Atlantic.

THEY CANNOT AGREE
Probable Failure of the Union Pa
citic Wage-Schedule Conference.
Employees of the Road Are Dissatisfied
Because No Concessions Have Been
Made by Arbitrator Clark.

OMAHA, Neb., March 2e.-It developed
to-day that the cause of the hitch in the
Union Pacific wage conference has been a
disagreement between the trainmen and the
engine men over inequalities in the sched-
ules prepared. The constructive mileage
feature was at the bottom Of the trouble.
The employees OF the road are uneasy and
FESTIVE. They not saying many words,
but the few they use count for good deal.
Ali the conceding has been done by the
men. Not point has been given in by the
company, and wherever there was differ
ence of opinion it still exists, unless the
men have receded from their position This
has had a very depressing effect on the
men. The men have almost rachel the con-
clusion that the conference is a waste Of
time. This evening il was quietly an
nounced that unless some very substantial
concessions were made from the Dundy
schedule the receivers Of the Union Pacific
would have a strike on their hands. The
men have determined TO drop the confer
ence, and will not allow the receivers to
settle the point for themselves. II they de-
eide to go before Judge Caldwell insisting
on the Dundy schedule there will be oppo-
sition both in and out of court.
There was a secret meeting OF the men
last night. at which Eugene V. Debs and
others spoke in favor of disseminating what
they all called a farce. Mr.. Debs went over
the present situation and likened 1t 10 the
Northern Pacific affair, which ended at last
in forcing the men to yield just what the
company receivers wanted. Mr.. DebS drew
a parallel and when he suggested that the
delegates empower their various chairmen
to get together into a committee of action
and draft an agreement which would be
satisfactory to them, and which would give
them what they thought would be their
dues, this to be submitted to Mr. Clark in
the event that Judge Caldwell was unable
to give what was asked, he was loudly ap-
plauded. In the next breath he suggested
that the only other course open, that Of
striking in the event its demands were not
acceded to, be taken. The applause and
appreciation continued, and Mr.. Debs's idea
was accepted by the body. Others followed
and agreed that the present conference is
a farce, and will amount to nothing at all.
Another meeting viii be held tomorrow
night, when the men will go still further
into the matter and prepare for their final
demand. The platform will be presented to
Judge Caldwell
The engineers tonight deny that they
have any intention of a strike. They say
they have decided TO go before Judge Cald-
well on the stand made in conference and
not with any threats. They feel they have
not gained anything in the conference. but
believe the court will give them relief.
They deprecate very much the talk Of
striking.

GEN. HARRISON'S BROTHER.
He Visits Old Army Friends in Penn
sylvania.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Carter b. Harrison one of the two sur
viving brothers of eX-President Benjamin
Harrison, has been making a quiet visit to
friends in this city during the last few days,
and last evening he returned 10 Washington.
Captain Harrison, as he is known among
his Grand Army comrades, was seen yes
terday afternoon at the home of Miss
ScheetZ and her brother. Harry ScheetZ,
1922 North Twenty-ninth street. who re-
lated by marriage to the late Archibald
Irwin Harrison, the Oldest of the EXPIRES
dents brothers.
The ex-President is the oldest brother liv-
John Scott Harrison, who was here a year
ago, being the youngest Captain Harrison
bears the family resemblance and has the
straight nose keen eyes, wide forehead and
pale complexion of his distinguished brother
He has the easy manner of most Western
men and the courtly bearing of the South
where he has made his home since the war,
a Tennessee young woman having accom-
plished what the rebels failed in, capturing
him. Since that time the Captain has lived
at Murfreesboro, Tenn, and during the Har-
rison administration United States
marshal OF the Middle district of his State.
Captain Harrison looks to be just what
he is, a well-to-do farmer. \ black SLOUGH
hat covers his iron-gray hair and his face
is clean-shaven except his upper lip, which
bears a handsome gray 1nuStache. He is
somewhat taller and more slender than his
older brother, and like the latter has always
voted the Republican ticket.
The Captains visit here was the first in
nearly eighteen years. Among the comrades
whom he met were John : Croxton and An
drew Wood, the well-known shoe manu-
regiment with Captain Harrison-the Fifty
first Ohio-under Col Stanley Matthews,
afterwards Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court. Mr.. Scheetz, the
pany I'm the same division under General
Van CleVe.

PRESIDENT DEPEw DIDN'T BUY.
Shabby Citizen offered to Sell Him
Free Trip Pass on the Central.


President Chauncey NJ. Depew's sense of
humor is so proverbially good that it IS
surprising TO learn of a joke passing his
way unappreciated. Mr.. Depew laughs now,
but he was too indignant for laughter one
day last week when a shabbily dressed
man stopped him in front of the Grand
Central Station and offered TO sell him
trip pass on the Central from New York To
Albany. The man had been standing about
the station for some time offering the pass
to different people. 1t was one of the days
and the walking broker was getting dis
couraged, when he rushed up TO man
who is familiar with New York faces.
Il am not travelling to-day, said the
man, but do you see that gentleman over
there. You go over and strike him
think you make deal
The man pointed TO President Depew, who
was hurrying to catch train for Albany,
and the broker hurried after him.
In the absence of a stenographer no rec
ord was taken of the conversation. The
brokers' present address is unknown, and
President Depew cannot accurately recall
the dialogue. If the president was aston
ished he did not show 1t; he declined to
purchase the pass, but he jotted the num-
Der and name on his notebook and issued
an order that 1t should be taken up and
the holder arrested under the sections Of
the penal code, which provide punishment
for personation-
Shortly afterward another man got into
the game by purchasing the pass. He was
stopped at the gate, turned over TO a police
man, and discharged later.
PRESIDENT DepeWS personal ana O1ilclal IN
dignation over the ingratitude of a man
who would sell a railroad pass is by no
means cooled off. Orders have been sent
out TO gate keepers and conductors to use
all means TO identify the holder Of a pass
If the pass is carried by any person other
than the one TO whom il is issued the hold
er will be detained and prosecuted under the
law. The holder in such a case is guilty
of a misdemeanor Since the hard times
began ii is believed that the sale OF trip
passes on the New York Central has be-
come quite industry. More passes are
taken up from persons who have purchased
them than ever before and these persons
are in most instances more prosperous than
those to whom the passes were issued. The
general understanding is that q railroad
pass is issued to some powerful person
who is In position to exchange fayors
with the company. On the other hand,
very many of the passes on the Central are
given to employees from other railroads and
to people who secure requests for passes
from the officers OF other roads. It is be-
heved that the passes offered for sale come
from these classes.

Bismarck's Good HumOr.


After he had accepted the Ministry of
Commerce the Prince was struck by the
insignificance of many matters he had to
decide. If, for instance. anybody had been
caught illicitly hawking goods and had
been sentenced TO a fine, but had TO be
pardoned on the score of poverty, it was
necessary, for the remission of the fine, to
obtain the consent of two Ministers-the
Minister of Finance and the Minister of
Commerce. Bismarck had taken special
note of case of this kind. A peddler had
been sentenced to a fine of 20 marks about
sovereign. and the Under Secretary of
State reported to the new Minister OF Com
merce that he was poor devil who had
to maintain a wife and child, and would
sink into still deeper misery if the fine
were converted into Imprisonment. He
therefore begged Bismarck to sign an i'm
mediate report, advising the King to par
don the peddler. The Prince emphatically
refused TO do so, for, said he If the King
had to be advised TO use his right of par
don in all such cases. justice would become
a dead letter. The peddler has simply not
TO pay the fine. and must escape impriS-
onment in order to save himself and his
family from absolute ruin. The Under Sec
rotary Of State then referred 10 the tradi-
tional practice, and appealed 10 the heart
OF his chief, who answered: "All right. I'll
give the poor devil the 20 marks out or my
sewn pocket, but you shall not have my
sigma ture for the thing.

RIOT AT BUDA PESTH
Students Smash Lamps and Win
dOws and Invade TheaterS,
Compelling Display of Mourning En-
blems in Honor of KOssuth-An-
other Bomb Explosion.

BUDA PESTH, March 22.-The govern
ment has so far yielded to the popular de-
mand regarding the respect to be shown by
it 10 the memory of Kossuth that il has
caused 10 be hoisted upon the state build
ings the national flag draped with Grape.
Tonight crowds of students went about
the city smashing the windows and the
gas lamps in front of houses on which no
mourning was displayed. Performances
were being given in the theaters as usual.
The students invaded the theaters and
drove from the stage with missiles of all
sorts the actors taking part in the per-
formances. They then turned their at
tention to the audiences and managed in
every case to drive them from the build
ings. The tactics were employed az the
concert halls. The police made attempts
to arrest the disturbers, but the students
resisted them and number of
sanguinary street conflicts took
place. When strong bands of the students
entered the Royal opera House and Ma
tional Theater the attaches and the police
stationed at these places attempted to pre-
vent them. The Students fought their way
into the bodies of the houses and stopped
the performances. They demanded that
banners be displayed, and upon being met
with refusals they themselves h0isted
mourning banners they had brought with
them over the boxes
1t is stated that several Hungarian min
listers, all the members of the lower house
of the Diet and many of the members of
the upper house will attend Kossuths fun
eral. The distinguished Hungarian novel
list, Maurice Jokai, has issued an appeal
TO the hungarian people IN which he asks
that all the draped flags which the army
of sorrowing people will carry before the
hearse conveying KOsSuth's remains be
preceded by a white flag of reconciliation
an immaculate white flag of homage to the
pillar of the Constitution.
