CHICAGO special: The initial reunion
meeting of the Worlds Congress Auxiliary
was held at the Auditorium. The auxiliary
was formed for the purpose of renewing
the friendships and concentrating the
achievements of the Worlds Congresses OF
1893. 1t is also proposed to continue the
work and extend the influences of the con-
crosses. The meeting was called to order
by c. c. Bonney of Chicago who was
president of the congresses held during the
fair. In his address Mr.. Bonney dwelt at
length on the work accomplished by the
congresses in the past, and the good they
will do in the future, if only carried on in
the same manner as were the meetings two
years ago. The platform of the auxiliary
was set forth by President Bonney i'm his
opening address as follows: 1--WE would
make the social purity and the moral pow
er, of which woman is the diyinely APP
pointed representative, as potent in public
as it is in private life. We should exalt
and establish all the useful industries OF
the world and crown them with blessings
and honors for the services they render to
mankind" The other objects of the auxil-
larry are to establish just and equal rela-
tons between labor and capital and pro-
vide for a system of cooperation between
them.
SAN FRANCISCO special: The collision
in Altamont Tunnel between the Los An
geles express and work train resulted in
the loss of three lives of three instead OF
two, as at first thought. Engineer HUB
bard was pinned under his engine and for
three hours was slowly cooked to death by
escaping steam. Harry Schramnl, the fire.
man, was instantly killed, as was H. j.
Cooper, who was working his way on the
engine. The wreck was caused by Train
Dispatcher Sims, who gave both trains the
right of way. He ordered the overland out
from Brentwood and the work train from
LivermOre in opposite directions. After
he had wired the order he realized his mis-
take, but there is no telegraph Office on the
line between these two points and he had
to wait for news of the wreck that he knew
could not be averted.
SAN FRANCISCO special: United States
District Attorney knight stated that he
would shortly recommend to the Attorney
General to dismiss the charges against al
least three-f0urths of the A. r. u. men
now under arrest in this district charged
with conspiracy, growing out of the recent
strike. He believes that there is NO chance
of convicting them. The trials now in pro-
gress in this city have not developed as
strong case of conspiracy as was expect

ever, that it is his intention to stubbornly
prosecute the ringleaders in the recent dis
turbances.
