ARE FOR FEDERATION.
Brotherhood Will Favor Union Des-
pite Opposition of Arthur.

ST. Louis, March 3O.-The Olympic
theater has been secured for the 10
days session of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, to be held here, be-
ginning May II.
One of the leading members of the
brotherhood said today that unless Chief
Arthur ceased to combat the scheme of
federation that he would be ousted and
another man elected in his place.
He says that the majority of the en-
gineers of the country are in favor of
the federation of all the different labor
organizations and at the biennial meet
ing here in May this will be done, so far
as the engineers are concerned.
Arthur has been opposed to the
scheme from the start and it is under
stood is doing all that lies within his
power to prevent the engineers from
joining the proposed federation, to
which several powerful organizations
have given their support.

TO TEST THE BLACKLIST.
Missouri Pacific Sued for $4,000 by a
Discharged Employe.

A suit for $40, 900 damages against the
Missouri Pacific Railroad company was
commenced in the district court this
afternoon by Joseph Haas, a bridge
carpenter. This is the first suit filed
in Kansas under the blacklist law pass
ed by the last legislature.
Haas was a bridge builder and was
working in Junction City. The COM
pany was garnisheed for a debt owed in
Topeka by Haas and he says through
the stupidity of a justice two more
garnishments were issued in the same
case. The rule of the company is that
when an employee is garnisheed three
times he must be discharged and that
is what was done in this case.
Haas claims that he made an effort
to secure work on the Union Pacific and
Santa Fe but everywhere he was met
by the blacklist and when he could
show no clearance" papers he was
promptly rejected.
1t is asserted in the petition that
Haas made 81 a day at his work and
that he has been unable to find any
thing to do since his discharge.
The case has been before the board of
railroad commissioners for investiga-
ton but no report has yet been made
by the board
The suit will be watched with inter-
est for the law of 1897 which forbids the
RE, Austin q Wilson, attorneys for Haas
say that tsey will prove their case by
the officers of the railroad companies
themselves. They say all they have to
do is to prove that a combination to
prevent the unemployment of discharg-
ed employees exists and they will then
be entitled to damage.
The suit will not be tried at the COM
ing term of the district court but will go
over till September.

THE ALLIANCE 70 SAIL
Will Leave For Hampton Roads With
Naval Apprentices

Newport, R L, March 3O.-The gov
eminent has arranged with the Powell
company for the use of the torpedo
testing station at Tiverton.
The training ship Alliance, which is
here for a detachment of apprentices,
will sail in about ten days. She will go
down the coast to Hampton Roads and
then cruise about Chesapeake bay, so
as to be in a position to transfer her
crews of boys on short notice to fight
ing ships. The hurried graduation of
boys is on account of shortage of men
on board the ships now being rushed
into commission.
Last night two seamen gunners were
qualified at the torpedo station and will
at once go to the Mayf1ower.
The government has selected two of
the bay excursion teamers-the Noun
tain Hope and the Day Star-fOr trans
port work in case war is declared and
these boats are held subject to going
into commission on a few hours notice.

Il am very anxious said Col. Berry,

In his testimony Mr. Smith told about

time after the marriage.
'One Sunday my wife got ready to go
to church, and she asked me why I was
not ready 1 don't care much for church
and 1 did not feel like going, anyhow,
and told her so. She asked me the sec
Ond time, and 1 again told her I did not
want to go. Why didn't you tell me
that before we were married?' After
that we had trouble often. I could not
do anything to suit her, and she was
always trying to hunt something to

A CEMETERY IN DISPUTE.
Suit Brought to Forec1ose a Mortgage
on the Mount Hope GRAVEYARD.

It is not often that any one has a de-
sire to acquire a cemetery but suit for
the possession of one was commenced
in the federal court today.
The cemetery in question may truly
be termed one of the boom institutions
of Topeka. It is situated on a hill
near Wanamaker, about five miles
west of Topeka, and is known as the
Mount Hope cemetery. The grounds
were beautifully laid out around a lit
tie hill in one of the prettiest lOca-
lions around Topeka. Then Martins
hill was being improved and there was
an indication that the city would grow
westward but when the boom collapsed
everything west of Topeka in the way
of additions went with it and the ceme-
terry was not an exception.
Since the boom the cemetery has been
like other boom institutions, without a
tenant and Mr.. w. NJ. Dunlap who
loaned the association 5000 to improve
the grounds has commenced an action
to fOreclose his mortgage. There are 80
acres in the property belonging to the
association. J. B. A1cAfee is the pres
ident.

SPAIN MAKES CONCESSIONS.
But is Still Hanging Out for Better
Bargain.

New York, March 3O.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The cabinet council to consider the re-
ply to be made to the two notes of
President Mckinley lasted to we'll into
last evening. Although no final re-
Spouse has yet been made, the Spanish
ministers can make no definite promise
to terminate the war in Cuba
Spain will promise to relieve the
starving recOncentradOs to her utmost
ability and will accept the cooperation
of American relief committees if unof-
fetal and not accompanied by naval
demonstration that will encourage the
insurgents.
Spain is also willing to make home
rule in Cuba more complete as an en-
cOuragement to peace, but the govern
ment cannot assent to any armistice
which implies passive recognition by
Spain of the belIigerency of the Cubans,
nor negotiate publicly or officially with
rebels, nor enter upon any discussion
leading to the sale of Cuba or the indie
pendence of the CubanS.

OIL FOR NOTHING
Is Threatened in st. Louis as Re
suit of Fight With the Standard.

ST. Louis, March 3O.-As a result of a
lively war between kerosene oil dealers
the price of the commodity here has de-
clined to 31R cents a gallon. This is
said to be the lowest price in the world.
Valentine Stocke president of the St.
Louis Oil company, says the situation is
due to an effort of the Standard Oil in
terests to drive his concern out of the
business. He threatens to give oil away
if his competitors force him to that
point.
Mr. Stoke has been in the oil bust
ness here since 1851, and he declares
that he will sink every dollar he has be-
fore he will surrender. H. c. Grenner
of the International Oil company denies
that there is any war in prices.

LELAND'S HEAVY CARD.
Stalking His ELI on the Success or
Failure of BaiIey's Candidacy.

Deacon" Hathaway, who edits the
Troy Times for Frank Elliott, says Cy-
rus Leland is playing the boldest game
he ever attempted in the First district.
Hathaway says that if Leland can fell
two Republican congressman, BrOder-
lex and Curtis, at once, and name his
candidate for congress over both of
them, he will go to the state convention
with a recognized power that will make
him absolute dictator.
1T isn't because of his liking for one
man, or his dislike for another" said
Hathaway, so much as he wishes to
show his great influence that he now
makes the fight for Bailey. He will
probably succeed, and, when he does.
watch how he dictates the state ticket.
If he wins with Bailey, the Republicans
will conclude that it is useless to try
to get in his way.

TO STAY IN THE FIELD.
n. c. Lindsey Will Remain Candi
date for Councilman.


The trouble over candidates for coun-
Gilman in the Second ward resulted in
H Q. Lindsey, the Populist nominee for
councilman, remaining in the field.
Captain Lindsey announced that he
would withdraw, and the necessary pa
perS were drawn up and ready to file.
Before the papers were turned over to
the city clerk, the Populists requested
that the Democratic candidate for
school board, be withdrawn. The re-
quest was refused and Capt. Lindsey
then refused to file his withdrawal pa
pers and his name will appear on the
ticket as the POpulist nominee.
Many Democrats and Populists claim
ed that they would be able to elect a
councilman if they were united, but
none of them have any hopes of win
ming with three candidates in the field.
The only ward in which there is fusion
on councilman is in the First, where
John Blossom is the nominee. The
withdrawal papers of F. Collins, POpu-
list nominee, were filed before the time
was up.

of this report can be obtained here,
however. AS Fort Sill is so miles from

whether the statement was true that
the British North American squadron
had been ordered to rendezvous at Ber-
muda, and said: Il have not seen such
a statement, but if made it is very like

canoe, however, for I know that the
admiral in command made arrange
ments some time since for a rendez-
vous at Bermuda preparatory to taking
the squadron on a cruise. That is the
