THEIR CONFERENCE A FARCE
Unless Concessions Are Made the
Men Will Quit.
FINAL APPEAL AGREED UPON.
Railroad Men Can Gain Nothing From
the Receivers and Will Apply
to the Court.

OMAHA, March 22.-Now it's strike.
Union Pacific employees are uneasy and
restive and there is an ugly look in the
sky. They are not saying much, but the
few words they use count for good deal.
Concessions they came for and So far
they have had none. Not point as been
gwen by the company. and wherever there
was difference of opinion it still exists
unless the men have receded from their
position.
This has had very depressing effect
on them. The men have almost reached
the conclusion that the conference is
useless waste OF time.
This evening ii was quietly announced
that unless some very substantial con-
cesslons were made from the Dundy
schedule the receivers of the Union Pacific
would have strike on their hands.
The men have determined to drop the
conference and will now allow the re-
ceivers to settle for themselves the point.
If they decide to go before Judge Caldwell
insisting on the Dundy schedule there will
be opposition both in and out of court.
There was secret meeting OF the men last
night at which Eugene Y. Debs and others
spoke in favor of discontinuing what they
call farce.
Mr.. Debs went over the present situa-
tim and Iikened it to the Northern Pacific
affair, which ended at last by forcing the
men to yield to just what the company's
receivers wanted.
Mr.. Debs suggested that the delegates
empower their various cbairmen to get to-
gether into committee of action and draft
al agreement which would be satisfact ry
to them and which would give them what
they thought would be their due, this be
submitted to Mr. Clark in the event that
Judge Caldwell was unable to give what
was asked
he was loudly applauded. In the next
breath he suggested that the only other
course open to the men-that of striking in
the event that this demand was not ae-
ceded tO-be taken. The applause con-
inued, and Mr.. Debs' idea was accepted
by the body.
Other speakers followed and all agreed
hat the present conference is a farce and
will amount to nothing at ALL Another
meeting will be held tomorrow night,
when the men will 60 still further into the
matter and prepare for their final demand.
The platform VIII be presented 10 Judge
Caldwell, and # he finds that he cannot
accede 10 its provisions the men will dis.
cover that "they cannot any longer remain
In the service of the Union Pacific Rail-
road receivers"
The engineers tonight deny that they
have any inten ion of striking. They say
they have decided to go before Judge
Caldwell IN the stand made in the con-
ference and not with any threats. They
feel they have not gained anything in the
conference, but believe the court will give
hem relief. They deprecate very much
the talk. of striking.

WASHINGTON, March %. - Secretary
Gresham was before the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs to-day concerning the
status of Bering Sea affairs. There were
brought out important developments as to
the manner in which her Majesty's Gov

The strictest injunction was put on

planned the situation fully. 1t appears
that by the terms of the treaty of arbitra

binding and in force. Sir John Thompson
in reply said the regulations of the Paris
tribunal had not force or validity upon

He did not believe an American SQUADRON
had been sent to enforce the regulations

GROWERS ORDER.
The Recall of Commodore
Kirkland
CAUSES PECULIAR RUMORS
About the Muddled Hawaiian
Situation.
WALKER TO 60 TO THE ISLANDS
Cleveland Has Some Delicate Du-
ties " for the Admiral on the
Pacific Station.
WALKER TO 90 TO THE ISLANDS

WASHINGTON. March 22-Speculation
was rife at the Navy De, artment today
as to the reason why Commodore Kirk
lands orders for Honolulu were revoked
and Commodore Walker appointed in
command of the Pacific squadron.
One story is that the President revoked
Commodore KIrklaDd's orders on the
ground that lie is not in sympathy with
the administrators policy of restoring
Queen LlluCkalani. Persons advancing
this theory point out that Admiral Sker-
rett was relieved Of the command at Hon
olulu and sent to China because
he was believed to be in sympathy
with the annexation movement. The most
plausible theory is that the President re-
considered his original plan of naval as
signments and decided to place Admiral
Walker in command of the Pacific station
and transfer Commodore K rkland to the
South Atlantic station, as The President
proposes some radical movement in
Hawaii. and prefers to place its execution
in the hands of Admiral Walker as an
officer OF extreme caution and capabilities.
Ii may be in connection with the estab-
hshment Of naval coaling station under
the Hawaiian grant or something of far
6ACaLol III pOi ldBC6s AUOlU6T view OIL the
same theory, OF quite so complimentary
TO Admiral Walker. is that he is to be sent
away from Washington so as to prevent
his exercising any influence on naval legis-
lation in opposition to the wishes of tie
administration.
CHICAGO, March 22.-The POSTS Wash.
ington SPECIAL SAYS: Naval circles are
excited over the order recalling Commo-
dore Kirkland, en- route for Hawaii, and
instructing Admiral Walker to take COM
mand of our naval forces at that station.
Admiral Walker had just finished term
Of sea duty and expected to have a long
spell on shore. The orders are understood
TO be due to a well-authenticated report
that the Hawaiian Government is about to
apply to some other power either for an
neXation or pro'ectorate. and the wish of
the President to have an old and war-tried
DaYHi officer in command at Ha wall should
such thing come to pass. The admiral

MUST BE A MISTAKE.
Gresham Would Not Dare Insult the
American Missionaries.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The report
that the new Chinese treaty will require
American residents in China 10 be photo
graphed aud registered was Indignantly
received by members of the California
delegation. That Secretary Gresham
would offer such an insult to the mis-
sionaries is almost incredible to them.
They believe there surely must be some
mistake, but are unable TO secure any
trustworthy information. Representative
Geary. who naturally is much interested
in this matter. has been unable thus far to
gain any definite knowledge of the treaty's
contents.
Secretary Gresham and Senators Nor
gan, Butler and Frye. members of the
eign Relations Committee. were seen by

each declined to discuss he matter. None
of them would affirm or deny the relia-
bility of any of the published Statement Is

Kirkland Temporarily in Command of
the South Atlantic Station.

the South Atlantic Station.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Commodore
Kirkland arrived at the Navy Department
at noon to-day, and when be lett there,
after an interview with Secretary Her.
bert. be carried with him orders placing
him in command of the South Atlantic
station. to succeed Admiral Benham, who
had gone to Bluefelds. a month ago
Commodore Klrklard d, then in command al
the League Island Navy-yard, was ordered
TO Honolulu TO take command there, and
also of the entire Pacific station, relieving
Admiral Irwin, who will retire on April
Is. The commodore started for California
10 take the steamer last Saturday for
Honolulu, but he was intercepted by a
telegram TO return to Washington, where
he arrived to-day.
The South Atlantic station, which he
will command, had been reserved for Ad-
miral Stanton. but the latter will continue
TO command the North Atlantic station
for time at least Il is said he will ulti-
mately yield this command to Commodo
Meade.
The change in Commodore Kirkland's or
deTs make necessary new detail to sue
ceed to the command of the Pacific Station,
and it was announced at the department
this evening that Admiral Walker had
been selected for the place. It has been
the custom of the department to allow an
officer of this grade turn Of four years
shore duty after so long term of sea sery-
ice. No explanation of The selection is af-
forded at the Navy Department, but it is
learned Admiral Walker was chosen for
the post by Secretary Herbert after con-
sultIng the President. This fact leads to
the conclusion that the Executive expects
that delicate duties are TO be discharged in
the near future by the commander of the
Pacific Station, which is already the most
important command in the navy, embrac-
ing Bering Sea, Hawaii, the Pacific Coast
and the western coasts of Central and
South America. Admiral Walker has not
yet been ordered to Hon olulu. and it may
be that he will not go there.
The Department of State has at last
called upon the Navy Department to sup
ply feet OF police TO the seal waters and
every effort is being made TO get the vessels
together. They will number ten, if so
many can be assent bled, five revenue ma
rine and Fish Commission boats and prob
ably the Yorktown, Concord. Bennington
and Mohican. The idea of sending the
Charleston around from Montevideo has
been abandoned. Wheths ar Admiral
walker will himself go in command of the
meet Is not YET known, but in the view of
certain state of the regulations touching
sealing and the necessity for prompt ac-
ton In emergency it Is possible The ad-
miral himself will be held on the scene.
This Is possible by the intimation by the
department hat this duty is to be tempo
rary and that it is likely to be relieved
before next fall.
