Purses Hung Up by the Minnesota
Valley Racing Circuit.

The Minnesota Valley Racing Cir
cult for the fall meetings was formal
ly organized at the office of Secretary
Dornberg, of the Redwood County
Agricultural Association, last Monday.
There we're present at the meeting for
organization H. T. Daily, Of the Rem
vile Fair and Driving Association, T.
T. Hazelberg, secretary of the Granite
Falls Driving club, J. H. MCGOWAN,
secretary of the Minnesota Valley AS
ISOLATION, of Morton, and President
Joseph Tyson and Secretary O. l..
Dornberg.o of the Redwood County Ag-
ricultural Association. The meeting
was enthusiastic, and all of the rep
resentatives present were confident
that the races this fall would be the
most successful in the history of the
Minnesota Valley. In fact, in the
neighborhood of IS horses, it is antici-
pated, will be present, and a large
number of them present for the pur-
pose of breaking records.
After considerable of discussion it
was decided to open the circuit at
Morton, with the Minnesota Valley
Agricultural Association fair, on Sept.
5 and 6; and on the following week,
commencing Sept. IL and continuing
over the 18th, the horses will be at
Renville. On Sept. 10th and 2lst, the
fair meeting of the Redwood County
Agricultural Association, they will be
at Redwood Falls. The above dates
are the last two days of the fair at this
place. From here they will go to
Granite Falls, where the Granite Falls
Driving club will hold it's t4H mtt-
ing. The dates for that place are
Sept. rs and n, the week following
the meeting at Redwood Falls.
The representatives further agreed
to hang up the magnificent sum of
$1,000 in purses to be competed by
the blue blooded horses of the valley.
This is divided up into four purses of
ST. 600 each for each association, which
will divide the amount up for the diff
ferent races. The races agreed upon
are 2:4O mixed race for trotters and
PAGERS for purse of 5000 on the first
day. On the same day there will al
so be 2:2O trot for purse of $500.
On the second day there will be a
three minute trot for purse of 5000
and free for all mixed race for a
purse of $500. On the same day there
will probably be a colt race for two
year old colts for purse of 500,
Here it is probable that ball game
will be arranged for and the officers
here reserved the right to appropriate
$50 for game.
All in all, the meeting will be the
grandest, from the standpoint of hors-
es and purses. ever held in the valley

WILL END THE STRIKE.

Good Results Expected Of the Cleveland
Conference.
CLEVELAND, O., May 9.-An officer
of the Masslllon Coal Operators asso-
citation, who has been travelling in the
Ohio and Pennsylvania fields for several
days, said that the big conference which
will be held in this city next week will
put an end to the strike, whether an
agreement is reached or not. He fur
: ther said:
There are dozens of big operators who
have offered what the men have asked,
VIZ, the rate that was fixed several
years ago, which has averaged about 70
cents. Many of them have the assur-
ance of the men that they will go to
work whatever the result of the confer
ence, and the moment any of the large
mines are put in operation the strike
will be broken.

HELD A CONFERENCE.

"A Committee of Great Northern EN-
ployes Meet the Arbitrators.
ST. PAUL, May 9.-The arbitration
committee, made up Of Minneapolis and
st. Paul business men, which was in
strumental in bringing the Great
Northern strike to a settlement, held q
meeting during the afternoon at the
rooms of the jobbers' union in St. Paul.
L. w. Foster, president of the Ameri-
can Railway union in St. Cloud, and a
committee Of the employees of the Great
Northern road, were present. The
claim made before the arbitration COM
mittee was that President Hill of the
Great Northern had ignored the agree
ment under which settlement of the
recent strike was reached, and that
men who took a conspicuous part in the
recent strike are being discharged from
the service of the company. This is
claimed to be in violation of the agree
ment, which Was that the men should
return to work without prejudice on
either side. The principal point made
is that Engineer Best and his fireman,
who took train out of St. Paul over
the Eastern Minnesota week ago last
Friday and who deserted the train,
leaving it standing on the main line
outside the city, have been discharged
without reason other than the prejudice
caused by this act.
HIPS Side of the Case.
When asked whether he was aware
that President Foster had declared the
likelihood of another strike unlesf the
discharged men were re-employed, Mr..
Hill replied that such talk as that
would make no difference whatever in
the policy to be pursued against violat-
ors Of the laws. The agreement, signed
by both parties when the settlement of
the strike was reached, contained a
clause providing that all men should be
re-employed without prejudice, but as
regarded those who had been guilty of
otfense against the law, or malicious
damage to or interference with the
property of the company, they would
not be taken back into the service Re-
garding Engineer Best Mr.. Hill said:
Il hold that the act of this man was
one of tho worst committed during the
strike. It is simply question of right
and wrong, and the employment OF
such man as this by the Great North
ern road is altogether out of the ques-
ton. He will not be re-employed, nor
will any man be allowed to re-enter the
service of the company who has been
guilty of similar acts"

ST.. PAUL, May 9.-The situation on

strike is still critical. The grievance
committee of the employees met at
Labor hall and discussed the point
upon which they feel sore. Later q
meeting was held with the committee
of arbitration of the late strike at the
rooms of the Jobbers' union. All hands
then called on President Hill and a

Spokane Commonwealers Threaten to

SPOKANE, WASH, May 9.-Colonel
Dolphin's commonwealers did not leave
for the East via the Great Northern as
predicted. The army marched to Hill
yard, only to find the engine dead and
locked up, and the track patrolled by 40
deputy sheriffs armed with Winches-
ters. The army's indignation knew no
bounds when the men found they had
been duped by their leader, who had all
along declared he had secured transport
tation. Several radicals in the ra nks
obtained rope and threatened to hang
Dolphin for his perfdy. Some proposed
wholesale desertion into the ranks of
the Seattle commonwealers, now here
Dolphin's fate seemed sealed for while,
tut finally the nervy little colonel
marched up to the ringleaders of the
meeting and whipped them into sub
mission. A dispatch was then sent to
President Hill asking transportation
and agreeing to fix any defective road
bed on the way for passage. No reply
has been received yet, and the general
belief here is that MI. Hill will not
comply with the request.

DEMOCRATS SURE IT WILL PASS,
Marked Feeling Of Opposition 60
Changes Among Members
of the House. r.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Leading SEN
ators are chary about expressing them
selves upon the subject of the revised
tariff bill. Senator Mcpherson would
not talk. saying he had not read the bill
with sufficient care to justify state
ment Republication.
Senator Hill did not claim not to
have read the bill, but he said that he
had nothing to say on the su ject be-
You'd what he had previously said, and
indicated that he did not consider the
bill Acceptable so long as it should con-
tain any provision for an income tax.
Senator Jones, who has assumed sthe
burden OF preparing the amendments,
said that he believed the bill would be
Passed by Democratic Votes
and that it would be sent back to the
house sooner than most people believed.
The finance committee, said he, have
every confidence of enough Democratic
votes to put it through.
Senator Smith spoke approvingly of
the chances and expressed approval of
the tariff part of the bill, but added, Il
am not yet entirely reconciled to the in
come tax"
Senator Faulkner contented himself
with expressing confidence in the work
OF the tariff committee and in saying
that he believed the bill would pass.
Senator Cockrell said that he thought
the bill when perfected woul 10 one of
the best tariff bills the country ever
had. He thought the bill would pass
the senate.
Republicans Roast 1t.
The Repu blicans were naturally not
SO well pleased with it. Senator ubois
characteriz it as "protective bill in
spots"
Senator Plat said: eff the Wilson
Wilson bill has been called in aLomina-
ton, this should le called bill OF
shame. II it had not been for the
power of tho sugar trust, it is doubtful
in my mind if there would have been d
single protective duty in the bill. 1t is
bill without princi pie, pressed by a
party without a policy"
Senators Mills, Berry and Faulkner
conferred with house mem ers during
the day concerning the tariff situation.
The feeling of opposition to the amend
ments Was very marked among Dom o.
cratic memlers, as they regarded the
changes as a step toward protection,
and as a retreat from the revenue re-
form lines OF the Wilson hill.

The Convention Of Engineers Gets Down

ST. PAUL, May V.-The convention
OF the rotherhood of Locomotive enRi-
neers assembled at $3.50 this morning in
Market hall. Little was done today
further than to name some committees
and to review the credentials for the
524 divisions to be represented. The
sessions of the convention will continue
from day to day at Market hall. Is Most
of the deleg ates and visitors were pres
emit at the opening exercises, but many
more are yet to arrive. It is probable
that at no time after the convention
gets under way will the visitors number
less than 1900 and at times it will be
much larger.
Seeing the Sights.
Hundreds of delegates and visitors
arrived yesterday and were met at the
Union depot by, members of the recep-
ton committee and escorted to head
quarters in the Germ ania Life building,
or to their lodging in the hotels or else
where. The headquarters were so
thronged during The day that many left
before registering. Whilst the various
hotels have large quota of the ladies
and gentlemen, yet many of them are
quartered in private residences. Dur
ing the day many of the visitors went
sightseeing throughout the principal
parts of the city, and seemed to be
adapting themselves to their surround
ings. 1t has been the custom 10 hold
the reception on the first day Of the con-
vention, but, owing to the fact that the
local committee could not secure the
proper quarters for today, the reception
was postponed one day. On Thursday
at 80 p. m. the brotherhood will be
given an elaborate reception at the
Metropolitan Opera House and the re-
ception to the ladies auxiliary will
occur Friday afternoon at the same
place.
