MIR. WINFREE FOUND GUILTY.
Verdict Rendered in the Efght-HOur
Violation Case.


Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court
after The Stars report closed in the case
of Contractor William w. Winfree, charged
with violating the eight-hour law in con-
rection with the work on the Wallach
school building, additional witnesses for the
government were examined. They included
mechanics and laborers. and their evidence
was to the effect that they had worked
nine hours. Some of them admitted tina t
more men could have been worked on the
building.
counsel for the defendant moved that the
court instruct the jury to return verdict
of not guilty because Of insufficient proof,
but this molten the court oSerruled.
Several Witnesses were then examined for
the defense. One of them was Mr.. VIM
frees bookkeeper, Mr.. Arthur Bailey who
informed the jury that the men We're al
lowed extra compensation for working more
than eight hours.
Capt. Barron, foreman of the work. testi-
fed that in order to finish the building by
September Is, in time for the opening of
school. it was necessary to work the men
more than eight hours. The men employed
on the work all expressed q willingness to
do the extra work
Inspector Hymes, who represents the
building inspectors office at the building
gave evidence to the effect that had any
more men been put at work on the building
the work would have been retarded
The defendant in his explanation said he
had learned more of the eight-hour law
during the trial than he had ever known
before. He claimed that he could not have
worked any more men en- the building ad-
vantageously and had he worked the men
only eight hours the job could not be COM
pleted in time. Because of the short time
he had in which to do the work, he consid-
cred that an emergency existed. and so he
worked the men more than eight hours
Arguments.
Counsel for the deferse argued at length
in an attempt to convince the court and
jury that there was an "extraordnary
emergency in the case. such as is con-
templated by the law. The facts and the
law were dwelt upon by counsel, and Mr..
Mullowny. in his argument for the prose-
cution, proved an able champion of the
friends of the eight-hour law. He told the
court and jury that the time had corae
when the wo"kingmen's rights were to be
respected. They are entitled to shorter
hours and more pay than was given them
years ago. and in this respect Congress had
protected their rights by legislation He
urged that the government had made out
a case and was entitled to verdict at the
hands of the jury.
Judge Mills, in his charge to the Jury,
said that the only excuse in this case was
to show that an extraordinary emergency
existed. He defined the law and explained
the dictionary definition of the word "emer-
gency," and at 6 o'clock the case was given
10 the jury. Three hours later a verdict CT
guilty was returned, and counsel gave no.
tce of a motion for a new trial This mo-
tion may be argued Saturday.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESIDENCY.
Efforts Made 10 Induce Mr. Phillips
to RemQin.

10 nem01ns
Ever since Mr.. Samuel L. Phillips an
nounced to the board OF directors Of the
Metropolitan company his determination
to retire from the presidency Of the cor
poration on October ID he has been plead
ed with by those interested in it, as well
as by many of his business and profess
sional friends. to withdraw his resignation.
There has been unanimous expression Of
this desire on the part Of all the directors,
and yesterday Mr.. Phillips was again
urged to continue with the company as
us president. He declined, however to
consider such course, feeling that he was
now entitled to rest from active business
life, completed as it was by his work In
equipping the Metropolitan lines with a
successful system of rapid transit, and
placing the corporation on a paying ba-
SIS. Mr. Phillips decision, therefore.
has now been taken as definite beyond
hope OF change, and the speculation over
who will be chosen as his successor Is en-
gaging the attention of those prominent in
street railroad circles.

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
CONGRESS LEFT MATTERS IN AN
UNSETTLED CONDITION.
The Seattle People Had a Hand In II
Because the N. P. Had Left Them
With the Bag to Hold.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Her.
aid this morning says: There is
much discussion among those con-
cerned in the reorganization Of the
Northern Pacific railroad as to
what form of charter the company
is to have, or whether it is advisa.
BILE to foreclose the property at
present, In view of the fact that
the present congress has failed to
give the company new charter.
A story Is afloat In Wall street to
the effect that the failure of con-
gress to give this legislation was
partly due to the efforts of the
bondholders of the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern railway. The
resolutions authorizing the new
charter which were before the COM
mittee OF congress, stipulated that
all party claims against the North
ern Pacific were to be settled.
According to the report the
bondholders of the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern had a claim Of
about So 900, 900 which the North
ern Pacific had refused to re.
adjust.
The bonds of the Seattle road
were guaranteed, principal and in
terest, by the Northern Pacific
road, and when the former road
was sold some time ago it was
bought in by the Northern Pacific
for 100000. The outstanding
bonds amounted to $6,000,000. Ac-
cording to the report, the Seattle
bondholders were so indignant
that they determined to block
things at Washington,
1t is said that one Of their rep
resentatives appeared before the
committee and explained that
they were unable to get any sat-
isfsction from the reorganization
committee of the Northern Pacific
road.
The sale of the Northern Pacific
is advertised to take place next
month, but as no action in regard
to the new charter was taken at
this session it is considered likely
that the sale will be postponed. A
charter might be obtained from
one OF the states, but 1t would lack
many of the valuable rights that
are enjoyed by the old company
under its present harter.

Barcelona on the War.

NEW YORK, June ia special
to the Herald from Key West
says: Advices from Havana say
a sensation has been caused there
by an editorial on the situation in
the Disrio del Commercial, the
leading paper of Barcelona. Copies
of the paper which reached Ha-
vana have been suppressed by
Capt. Gen. Weyler.
The subject of the editorial is
Senior Segasta's statement that the
war is annually costing Spain
100000, 900 pesetas and $4,000 SOL
diers, but that the conflict may
end in two years. "The gravest is
not what the liberal chief says,
but what he knows. He knows
the war will not terminate in two
years. The treasury Of Cuba will
not have reserves to cover the ex-
penditures nor has that OF Spain.
The powers of consumption are
dried up and agriculture, indus
tries and business wholly ruined.
"The political conventions will
soon meet in the United States
and they will fan the flames
against Spain. Senior Ssgasta will
do we'll to plan for a conflict before
the chambers, because 1t Is impos-
sible for the country to accept
either the plans Of Weyler or the
policy OF war which is bringing us
to humiliation with great veloc.
ity,"

TEXAS HOMOEOPATHS.
SECOND DAY OF THE THIRTEENTH
CONVENTION.
Mexico's New School Oongratulated-Elec-
tricity in Medicine Discussed-The
Gauntlet Thrown the Allo-
paths.

The second days session Of the
thirteenth annual convention Of
the Texas Association Of Homeo.
pathic physicians was called to or
der this morning by President G..
d. Streeter. The committee on In.
formation upon legislation not be-
ing prepared to report, communities
tions were called for. The secre.
ia ~ read a letter of congratulation
he had sent the president Of the
faculty Of the Homeopathic Uni.
versity Of Mexico upon the insu-
guration of that institution and
the reply acknowledging It's re.
ceipt from DR.. Segura y Pesado, OF
the City Of Mexico.
Letters of regret were read from
DR.. G. R. Pollock, Of Fort Worth,
and DIR. Ida E. Bishop, Of Calves
ton. A paper entitled Electric
ity In Labor" by Ida E. Bishop
was then read. "Should Homoeo-
patty be Represented In the Medi-
cal branch Of our State Uni
versity" was the title Of the next
paper. Its author was DR.. G. III.
Rev, of Waco. The committee on
information upon legislation then
announced ready with q majority
and minority report.
The following resolution was
adopted and ordered published by
the association:
"Whereas, the Allopathic State
Medical association, meeting at
Fort Worth, as reported In the
Gazette May 2, 1896, passed the
following resolution, to-wit:
"Whereas, the Texas State Medi-
cal association adopted the report
of the committee wherein it was
that the homeopathic
and eclectics be recognized in the
law, In order to get constitu-
tional law passed, governing the
practice of medicine, and as some
uniformed persons may construe
this into an endorsement OF the
homeopathic and eclectics;
Therefore, we positively declare
that we do not recognize them on
ly 80 far as they are recognized by
statutes and constitution of the
state OF Texas to enable us to have
q medical law passed in this state.
but that we stand by the code Of
the American Medical association
and will expel any doctor of the
Texas Medical association who will
so lower the dignity OF the regular
medicine as to meet them In con-
sultstion;"
And as said resolution insult
ingly misrepresents, and is In
tended to convey the ridiculous
Impression that there is only one
educated scientific school Of med
icine which the said association
only recognizes, because the state
of Texas authorizes the practice Of
other systems; therefore be it re-
solved by the Texas Homeopathic
