Demand to Re Made Upon Several Roads
for Restoration of Wages.
CHICAGO, June 1s.-It is said one ex-
pected result of the convention of the
American Railway union. now holding
in this city, will be the demand in the
near future for a restoration of pay on
several roads running into Chicago.
The convention has under advisement
several plans for mediation and adj
iustment of grievances and after the
adoption of one it will be put almost
Immediately to practical use.
The local unions, composed of en-
ployes of the Cleveland, Cincinnati. st.
Louis & Chicago railway. and those of
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road, on
both of which the men have had their
wages reduced during the present
year. have been holding daily meet
with view to concerted action. The
men are thoroughly organized on both
lines. having grown better acquainted
during the convention and have no
doubt of their ability to secure their
demand for a return to the wage scale
of 1893 without the necessity of strik-
ing.

CASTLE BAR ISLAND. Ireland. June
ia dispatch from Westport Quay,
about IL miles from this city, an
nounees a terrible disaster to party
of harvesters who were on their way
to Scotland. A passenger boat return

Scotland from Westport, capsized- Ac-

say that it is believed that fifty of the
harvesters lost their lives.
Up to midnight the bodies of thirty
of those drowned have been recovered.
The relatives and friends of the har-
vesters have been gathered on the
shore since the news was received and
the scenes of sorrow as the bodies
were brought to land were terrible.

The boat which capsized was much
overcrowded. the people in their haste
to catch the Glasgow boat from West
port having little regard for their
safety. One hundred and ten passen-
gers were on the vessel when she went
down. The disaster was due to an at
tempt to turn the boat without lower

kept under water by the sails. which
were fully set when the vessel went
over.
As soon as the accident happened,
boats from the steamer Elm, lying
near. put out to the rescue and seven

of the water. Some of them were I'M

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-In fit of de-
spondency resulting from long and in
durable illness and depressed by sud-
den and violent attack of dangerous
symptoms, Thomas NJ. Bayne, for seven
terms representative of the Allegheny
district in congress, Saturday morn
ing forestalled the end by sending
a bullet through his head and killing
himself instantly. At the time he was
alone with the servants in his hand
some and luxurious home at 1929 Massa-
chusetts avenue. in the most ultra fash
ionable part of the city. his wife being
temporarily absent in Philadelphia.
He had been i'll for a long time and

was but temporary, however, and he
suffered greatly from fits of depression

his disease which was consumption.

FOUND GUILTY.
Judge Thomas Lays Down the Law -

Judge Thomas Lays Down the Law -
Train Stealers.
LEAyENwoRrB, Kan, June 14.-Judge
Thomas, of the United States district
court, found Capt. John A. Ralston,
Color Sergeant Frank E. Woods and
Commissary Ed Hart, leaders of the
hand of Coxeyites who seized Union
Pacific train at Watkins, Col. and
were captured at Ellis, Kan. guilty of
contempt in that they interfered with
a road in the hands of receivers.
1t was argued by the attorney for the
defendants that there was no contempt
of court inasmuch as the defendants
were guilty of no actual violence and
had no notice that the railroad was in
the possession of receivers, but were
merely stealing ride.
Judge Thomas held that the actions
of these .'commonwealers" IN boarding
Union Pacific train in large numbers
over the objections of the train men
and in insisting upon riding on the
train after being ordered off was
equivalent to actual force and consti-
tuted an interference with the opera
ton of trains in the hands of the re-
ceiverS which could not be tolerated
and that these acts amounted to a con-
tempt of the court. The sentence of
the court will be announced hereafter.

CONDITION Or PEACHES.
They VIII Practically BE n Failure
Apples Promising.


WASHINGTON. June 1s.-The report
of the statistician of the department of
agriculture for June SAYS that glance
at the per centages of condition of
peaches on June 1 is sufficient to show
how disastrous the season has been
thus far. The returns at this date
relate principally to bloom in the
more northern districts, and where
conditions are high it would be too
early to form an opinion as to crop re-
suits. As fruit does not recover from
low condition early in its history, as
other products do, it is safe to construe
the extremely low figures into a practi-
cal failure of the crop
The condition for 1894 in the states
producing the commercial crop, as COM
pared with 1898. makes poor showing
for this year. as follows: New Jersey,

PLAGUE IN CHINA.
A Frightful Disease That Is Carrying OH
Thousands.

VANCOUVER. Il. c., June 1.-THE
steamship Empress, of Japan. which
arrived last night brought alarming
reports of the spread of the plague in
Canton and Hong Kong, China The
disease is similar to the great plague
in London in the seventeenth century.
Hundreds have died in both cities and
scores were dying daily when the YES
sci left. The plague paralyzed BUSH
ness, as many leading steamship lines
refuse to take either passengers or
cargo from Hong Kong.
Without premonitory warning in the
shape of a chill. there is a sudden on
set of fever, rising to los degrees or
over. There is much headache accom-
panied by stupor. In twelve or twenty
four hours a glandular swelling occurs
in the neck or arm pit, increasing to
the size of a fowls egg With or
without the decline of fever, the pa
tient sinks into a condition of coma
and dies at the end of twenty-four or
forty-eight hours If six days pass re-
covery is possible.
