Large Number Gathered at Chicago In
Response to the Omaha Invitation.

Response to the Omaha Invitation.
CHICAGO, March 17.-An effort to adjust
the difficulty between the two branches of the
Order Of Elks will be made at a convention
which opens at the Auditorium tomorrow
evening. The convention, rather confer
ence. is called by the Omaha lodge. 1t is
claimed that representatives from nearly all
of the lodges in the country will be present.
The Chicago lodge will not be present. The
members of the local lodge adhere to the
grand lodge, which met at Atlantic City last
June and refuse to- recognize that the
jamestown faction has any right to its con-
tention. The difficulty arose over the passage
of resolution at the annual session of the
grand lodge at Detroit, in June. 1893, which
delegated to a committee the power to fix the
time and place for the next annual session.
The committee called the grand lodge to
meet in jamestown, and the grand officers
called the meeting for Atlantic City. E. B.
Hayes of Washington was elected grand ex-
alted ruler by the Atlantic City faction and
M. III. Friday was elected to the position by
the jamestown faction. Since then the ami
mostly between the two factions has grown
stronger and the prospects for a reafiliation
less hopeful
The Omaha lodge has sent to the confer
ence a delegation consisting of George p.
Cronk c. S. Hatten, William Brandt and e.
M. Bartlett. Mr.. Cronk said tonight: "The
conference is not called in the interest Of any
ldtliou. Ht oHldud iouSe WdHtS 10 see the
order reunited. We will enter the confer
ence with no set scheme, no attempt to re-
vive the old bitterness, but with an effort tc
| lay aside the differences of the past drop all
| the anmosity and make an attmept to bring
| both factions into harmony. The longer the
| order remains divided the more hopeless will
become the task of reconciliation. The lega
| aspect Of the dispute is now in the courts and
whichever way it is decided will only in.
| tensify the feeling of the losing faction. We
| have secured a general response to our cal
| and expect an attendance of over 100 repre-
sentatives."
What is hoped to be accomplished, as
stated by Judge e. M. Bartlett of the Omahf
delegation is to devise some method of com
promise agreeable to both grand lodges ant
| their adherents. The merits and dement's
of the pending litigation will not be dis
cussed at this meeting, 1t being hoped SO t,
shape matters that the suits may be dis
missed and cordial relations between th
contending grand lodges and their partisan
be restored. Neither grand lodge can lonl
| exist while members of subordinate lodge
| are In doubt as to which grand lodge ha
| authority to collect the per capita tax an,
decline to pay the same. And it is to pre-
vent IL possible, the ultimate disintegratioi
that tomorrows convention was called.

DULUTH MANS CLAIM.
w. II. LoWd Says He First Discov-
cred the Telegraphic Pic
ture Method.

Duluth, Mimi, April 19-W H. Lowd
of this city, train dispatcher of the North
ern Pacific, received an unpleasant shock
yesterday when he read dispatch from
San Francisco saying that picture had
been successfully telegraphed from Los
Angeles to the San Francisco Call and re-
produced by that paper.
The man who was heraded as the in
ventor is Charles Wil!oughby. Willough-
by may have invented the method, but he
is behind the times, the Duluth man hay
ing invented the same thing and pro-
cured a copyright on it some months ago
But the San Francisco mans system is
not as well perfected as that of Lowd,
the latter's containing all the points of
Willoughby's and others that are highly
important in that they reduce the amount
of telegraphing. Among them is a cipher
code.
Lowd has gone to considerable expense
in having his rights protected and his
scheme perfected and intends to turn his
invention to some profit to himself He
has therefore sent word to Willoughby in
forming him of his copyright and telling
him that he must desist from further use
of the system, otherwise he will take
legal steps to secure satisfaction.

of Meade's squadron is regarded as show
ing that the administration has absolute
confidence that in the Nicaraguan affair
the British government will take no
steps inimical to American interests and
will not indirectly seek an acquisition of
territory through its claim for indemnity
for the expulsion of Consular Agent
Hatch. Nicaragua has been seeking to
have the United States step in and as
sist her in an opposition to the British
demands for indemnity, but this effort
has not succeeded to any extent and re-
ports of a possible cession of Corn island
to Great Britain are believed here to- be
inspired by the desire to secure Ameri-
can intervention.
