LOST THE BIG BLUFF.
Boycott on the Lake Erie Road
Fell Flat.
The Alton and Atchison Roads Pro-
pose to Do Some Rate-Cutting on
Their Own Accord.

CHICAGO. June 14.-The boycott of the
Lake Erie and Western by the Western
Passenger Association is dead and will
not come to life again.
The proposed boycott has stirred up con-
siderable feeling among the association
lines and there is strong probability that
the matter may result In rate war over
excursion business: The Alton to-day
notified Chairman Caldwell that 1t would
take no part in the boycott, as it was
necessary for it to meet the competition
Of the Atchison and prevent the latter
from taking the bulk of the business from
the Lake Erie and Western. This state
ment on the part of the Alton is taken
with large grain of salt by the other lines,
as the Atchison is in no position to get
any of the Lake Erie and Western busi-
ness, and besides General Passenger Agent
DAILY of the Lake Erie and Western is
credited with the declaration that he in
tended to send the busin ess over the Alton
road. boycott or no boycott.
General Passenger Agent Charlton of
the Alton In his letter to Chairman Cald-
we'll announcing that the Alton could take
no part in the boycott took occasion 10
mildly censure the chairman for his haste
in declaring the boycott
Chairman Caldwell replied to-day that
he had acted in no undue haste. and that
he had taken no action whatever until he
had obtained the assurance of the Alton
road that whatever action he should take
would be approved by tho Alton, which had
contracts with the Lake Erie and West
ern for this very business over which the
trouble is now arisen. When the Alton
had declared that it had abrogated its con-
tracts with the Lake Erie and Western,
and was willing that action should be
taken against that road, the boycott was
declared, and not until that time.
Tbs Atchison intimated very plainly to-
day that it had no intention of letting all
the traffic get away and it probably would
in the near future make the same rates for
the general public from the points from
where the Lake Erie and Western has
make them.
SALT LAKE, June 15.-The Rio Grande
Western Railroad to-day announced a
round-trip rate of $50 80 between Salt
Lake and Chicago, all tickets to be good

this rate and put into effect the following
additional rates: Round trip. Salt Lake TO

Dick Croker and Sons Arrive at

QUEENSTOWN, June 15.-Richard Croker
of New York, with his two SONS, arrived
here this evening on the Umbria. To an
Associated Press reporter Croker said he
Id not come to Europe for his health. He
would have started earlier, but the illness
OF n relative detained him.
Asked in reference to the Investigation
of the New York City Police Department
by committee OF the State Senate, he said
he had not been summoned to appear be-
fore the committee, but he would be glad
to give the committee any assistance in
his power should they desire It. Ee said
he was out of politics now and did not pro-
pose to take any part again in the admins
tTation of the Tammany Hall organization.
In reply 10 a question why he had not
announced in New York that he was
about to leave for Europe, he said he did
not suppose the public attached any impor-
tance to his movements. Croker proposes
to go direct to Paris. His stay in Europe
will be for an indefinite period.

Michigan Fruit-Growers and the

Labor Question.
MUsKEGoN, Mich. June 15.-The West
Michigan Fruit-growers' Association is in
its annual June session here with large
mum Der of delegates in attendance. Gov
ernor John L. Rich spoke last evening
After some preliminary talk about the
fruit business he referred to the duties of
the Labor Commissioner as all im mportant
in the past and moro and more so as the
days 90 by, and said:
Labor is here and it must be cared for
l have a crude plan, one which l have
been thinking of for some time. Labor is
organized, but it is without authority and
legal standing. On the other hand, the
State has given great powers to corpora
tons which, while they give many ad-
VantageS. also guide and control them.
Why not confer upon the labor unions a
legal standing. certain powers and duties,
give them certain privileges, and at the
same time put IT in the power of the State
to control them? i mean to provide for
the lawful organization of labor, with
proper powers and standing in court. I!
is crude idea. and no one is responsible
for what l say but myself. The great
middle class of the past is being wiped
out and two classes are coming in-tne
employers and the employed. For this
reason we must set higher price upon
Am eTidan citizenship. We can trust the
American-bred boy, but the foreigner must
show himself fit. We must look out after
those who have no respect for govern
ment abroad aud none here. We must
guard the franchise more rellgiously than
in the past"

EraStuS Wiman Is Found
Guilty.
RECOMMENDED TO MERCY.
The Jurors Are Sorry for the
Ex-FinanCier.
RECOMMENDED TO MERCY.
TRACEY's VIGOROUS DEFENSE.
Escorted By Officers, the Convicted
Manager Is Led Back to
the Tombs.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Erastus Wiman
has been found guilty of forgery in the
second degree.
The maximum penalty for the offense is
ten years at hard labor in the State prison.
BY the late laws passed by the LEGISLATURE
the minimum penalty has been abolished.
and Wiman may be sentenced to a term of
from one day TO ten years.
During the morning session Wiman was
cross-examIned as to the charge Of for
gerry on which he was being tried. Several
witnesses testified to his previous good
character.
General Tracey addressed the jury. His
main plea was the absence of criminal in
tent. He asked the jury to consider the
value of Wiman's services in building up
the Dun agency, and the fact that it was
alleged that he was a partner in the
agency. with powers equal to those of Dun
himself.
Tracey accused the prosecution of vio-
lating the confidential communications of
Assistant District Attorney Wellman, who
argued that Wiman's whole course was
contrary to the ethics of business, and his
conduct from the moment the disclosure
was made was that of a man detected in
crime. Judge Ingraham charged the jury
after the noon recess.
The jury, after listening 10 the impartial
charge of Judge Ingraham, retired at 2 80
P. N. Every one in court was on the tip
toe of expectation. The majority, how
ever, were confident that the jury would
disagree on the ground of absence of proof
that Wiman committed the alleged for
geries with criminal intent.
The first shock the defendant received
was when Deputy Sheriff Brown placed
him under arrest the moment that Judge
Ingraham began his charge TO the jury.
WimaD's sons sat behind him and a
number of his friends sat around. He
talked pleasantly with them, and his
every movement showed that ne was con-
fident of an acdUiital. or at least q dis
agreement.
Precisely at 4:3o p. NJ. the Jury filed into
court. The clerk said: Gentlemen. have
you agreed on a verdict?
Yes. sir" said Foreman Murray. 81
am sorry TO say we find Mr.. Wiman guilty
OF forgery in the second degree. but we
recommend him to the mercy of the court
Judge Ingraham arraigned Wiman for
sentence until Wednesday, June 90
Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Kelly escorted
WiEan to the Tombs prison.
His sons accompanied him and bade him
an affectionate goOd-by at the prison gate
In answer to requests tor an inter.
view sent him by several newspaper men,
Wiman sent pack this written reply:
Impossible to see you nOw."
General Tracey said: 81 am astonished
at the verdict, and until l can consult with
my associates L cannot say whether an
application for new trial will be made
or not"

sage to Senator Mitchell
of Oregon.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Huntington
agents are now pretending that the Gen.
trail Pacific will not be satisfied with an
extension of the deot for fifty years at 8
per cent interest. They claim that the
road cannot afford to pay per cent now
where it could pay per cent heretofore
1t is not believed. however, Huntington is
really opposed to Reilly's bill. He will
attempt to get 100 years at 2h1a per cent. on
the same principle that a sharp tradesman
asks double price for a garment and then
takes one-halt.
Geary's statement that he believed Sem
ator Stanford established the university
out of a spirit of revenge, has aroused
Mrs. StanfOrd's resentment and she has
telegraphed Senator Mitchell of Oregon
asking him to defend the Senator's memory
against the insinuation OF such a depraved
motive. Mitchell replied that Senator
Perkins had already made suitable reply
to Geary's utterances, and that he would
do Likewise when opportunity offered.
Here is the correspondence:
"SIssoN, Cal, June Is.
ITO Hon. j. H. Mitchell, WdshinOtOn !:
There was never more base accusation
made against my husband than that made
by Congressman Gsary when he assigned
such depraved motives for establishing the
university. You, who know him well, will
you not defend his memory, which is so
dear to me. Mrs. LELAND STANFORD"
Senator Mitchell replied as follows:
WASHINGTON. June Is.
Mrs Leland Stanford, SiSSon, Cal. 4:
Senator Perkins lost fully and beautifully
defended in the Senate the memory of the
late Senator Stanford against the vile at
tack. was absent and knew nothing of the
attack, or Senator Perkins defense, until
