the RAILROAD MEN
And What They Want Adopted Tor National
and State Laws.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The convention of
railway employees rcassembled, today, and
went into executive session. The conven-
ton at l2.45 took a recess, practically hav-
ing completed the platform. The substance
vii not be made public. .-
The convention favors compulsory
arbitration law and election of railway COM
niissioners by direct vote of the people in the
various states, instead of being appointed,
as ut present. The recent decisions of
several federal judges on questions of rights
is denounced as unjust, unconstitutiona and
un-American.
The convention congratulates the SUBJ
committee of the judiciary committee in
Congress who inquired into the Northern
Pacific receivership. The committee re-
ported Jukge jenkins act to be a gross
abuse of federal power. The different
railway mems association are asked to unite
on legislative lines to ask for national and
state laws for redress of grievances.
The adoption of laws guaranteeing to
employees injured in duties redress through
the courts is Ssked for on the grounds that
the men are performing public functions,
and in measure are public servants, and
the public should look after its servants.
The convention extends encouragement and
endorsement to the United Mine Workers
of America in the struggle for fair wages
and decent conditions Of life.
The convention adopted the platform and
| at $50, adjourned zine die.

IN THE SENATE.
The Repsh Of The Committee Investigating
Bribery Cases Made.

WAsniSGros, May 29.-In the Senate
the report of the select committee on the
Sugar Trust bribery was read. Hill con-
tended that no question of privilege was in
volved in the report, that il it had been al
to the alleged bribery of senators the re-
port would be privileged; but it was simply
~ to the question whether senators specu-
lated in sugar stock. The Vice-President
ruled that the report required no action on
the part Of the Senate, but that the Vice
President was directed under it alone to
act.
From that decision Hill appealed. Hill
said senator could speculate in sugar. sill
yer or other stocks and not violate the law
lie admitted that speculation by senators in
sugar stock, Pending the question Of the
tariff, was improper. Hills appeal from
the decision of the chair was, OH motion of
Harris. laid on the table.
Dolph moved that a warrant be issued
for the arrest Of Mr.. Edwards and for
bringing him before the bar of the Senate
to answer for his contempt. Dolphs reso-
luton went over till tomorrow.
Hill endeavored to offer q resolution
instructipg the presiding officer not to cer-
tify the facts as to the recalcitrant wit
nesses to the district attorney. Harris OBJ
iected and it was not received. The matter
then went over and the consideration of the
tariff bill was resumed, the question being
on the amendments offered, yesterday, by
Hale and PETER to the lumber schedule.
The matter was discussed by Squire,
Chandler, Hale, PIatt, Peffer and Higgins.
The remark by Hale to the effect that GER
tain Democratic senators put the knife
to the throat of the finance COM
mittee and forced the committee to
make concessions on the subject of coal,
iron ore, lead and other articles attracted
the attention of Faulker, who asked Hale
on what authority he made that statement
Hale replied that he had spoken metaphor,
cally. Senate adjourned.
As soon as the debate was over the re-
port of the Sugar Trust investigating com
mittee to the Senate, today, ceased, the
committee came together and again ant
G. ,mned Senators Vest, VOORHEES, and
Jones, all members of the finance commit
tee. These senators denied in toto the
statements made in the press. They
denied that there had been any schedule
submitted to them by the trust or any one
acting for the trust, fixing rate of duty OF
sugar.
They denied that the secretary Of The
treasury had announced to the Democratic
members of the committee that the Sugar
Trust had made large contribution to the
campaign fund and must be taken care of
They denied that the secretary appeared
before them with schedule that he hat
prepared and demanded that it be adopted
by the committee.
The committee then adjourned unit
Thursday. Messrs. Edwards and Schriver
the recalcitrant witnesses, accompanied by
counsel, called upon the district attorney
snd told him they were ready to appeal
whenever wanted.

THE EAGLE AS AN EMBLEM.
The Bird Of Jove Has Been . Favorite Sym
boil of Power In Many Ages.


In ancient mythology the eagle was be-
lieved to carry the souls OF the oyine ~
their abode on Mount Olympus and was
called the bird Of Jove. The eagle was
first taken as q symbol OF royal power py
the ancient Etruscans, who bore It's image
upon their standards. In the year 81 d.
c. a silver eagle, with expanded wings
poised on the top of spear, with thun-
derbolt held in its claws, was adopted as
the military standard to be borne at the
head of their legions by the Romans. Az
the time of Hadrian q golden eagle was
substituted for tho silver one. A two
headed eagle was adopted by the byzan.
tine emperors as a symbol Of their control
of both the east and the west.
The double headed eagle Of Russia was
adopted on the marriage OF Ivan with Q
Grecian princess of the eastern empire.
That of Austria was first used when the
emperor of Germany took the title OF the
Roman emperor. The national standard
of Prussia bears black eagle; that of Po-
land q white one. Napoleon took gold
en- eagle for his standard, modelled of pure
gold and bearing thunderbolt, after the
pattern of tho caglc of tho Romans. This
standard was disuscd under the Bourbons,
but was restored by u decree of Louis Ma
poleon in 1852 Thorne states that tho
eacle was first used on American coins in
1888, ON cents and half cents issued from
the Massachusetts, mint. 1t was adopted
in the plan of national coinage ms a de-
sign upon all gold coins and on the silver
dollar, half dollar and quarter dollar.
The design of an eagle was at one time
suggested for the national flag.
