THE CLUBS FEDERATION
Threatened Disruption of the League on Ac-
 count of Taxation.

Denver, June 2.-Important action was taken this afternoon by the council of the general Federation of Womens Clubs on increased taxation of clubs. Under the new ruling an organization like the Chi cago Woman's Club, for instance, would have it's taxation raised from $10 to $16O biannually. Enlarged clubs declare they will withdraw If this is adopted, but Mrs. Henrotin and the women in power assert an increased income is necessary. This was borne out in the final reports The treas urer, Mrs. Trumbull said in 1896 the feder- ation had a balance of $2,366 The receipts the past two years have been $2,679 and the expenses $6, ,7S9, leaving balance of $3 692 At the same time Mrs. Julia B. Shattuck, of Chicago, chairman of /the ways and means~xN mmittee, reported that $4,500 was a maximum estimate of the money needed for expense the next two years
 This afternoon at the union meeting of state presidents the question: of abolishing individual clubs from the general federation came up for an animated discussion, the idea being to make the national organiza- tion a system of state bodies. This even- ing was he'd reception for federation of ficers, the state presidents and the state correspondents. At the Central PresbyI terian church there was also compliment ary lecture on Colorado vs. Switzerland" by c. M Hobbs, of Denver, arranged by the woman's biannual local board.

CUBAN BUSHWHACKERS
 AIDING THE MARINES

Washington, June H.-The navy depart ment continues to hear from Admiral Sampson relative to the general conditions of affairs with the fleet.
 The reports last received speak of the satisfactory condition of affairs and partic- ularly draw attention to the continued good work being done by the Cubans. The ad- miral says he has now about 1000 Cubans fully armed engaged in bushwhacking work which has proved so effective in protect ing the marines and in preparing the way for the troops. This force of Cubans is quite apart from the regular force under Generals Rabbi and Garcia. and is de- tached body of guerillas, which is cooper ating with our naval forces rather than with the army. :. The extent to which the Cubans have been exposed to actions Is shown by the report reaching the navy department that thirty wounded Cubans have been placed on the Solace. This Is believed to be con- siderably more than the wounded from the American marines.- Surgeon General Van reipen, of the navy, has directed the chief surgeon of the Solace to receive wounded Cubans and give them the same treatment and facilities accorded to our own men.

AN ADVANCE OF
 8 GENTS PER TON Will Be Demanded By the Coal
 Miners, WITH A SLIDING SCALE Based on Present Prices of All Grades
 Of Iron. CONFERENCE WITH THE OPERATORS Will Be Held This Morning at 10 O'clock, When the Action of the Convention Will Be Submitted to Them
 Other Concessions.
CONFERENCE WITH THE OPERATORS

The miners will demand an advance of 5 cents per ton for mining coal and that all coal must be weighed before being dumped. This action was decided upon at yester- days session of the state convention now in session in this city and will be submitted to thefbperators, who have been invited to a conference to take place this morning at 10 o'clock.
 It developed yesterday that the conyen- tion before adjourning on Monday after noon appointed a committee on resolutions of which Alex Lewis, of Soss mines was chairman and John Kelley, of Blocton, see- retary The duty of this committee was to prepare such resolution as it might deem expedient bearing upon the questions which would be submitted to the conven- tion for consideration.
 Second Days Session
 The second days session of the conven- tion was called to order by President Wm Fairley at 9:25 o'clock yesterday morning. About 10 o'clock the committee on resolu- tions announced that it was ready to re- port and was heard.
 The report was taken up item for item and in substance the following resolutions were adopted:
 F'irst-To demand 4215 cents per ton for mining coal at Pratt City, Blocton and the Sloss company mines, and 37h cents at Blue Creek, allowance being made for the size of the coal.
 Second-That the pricc/ of pig iron be made the basis of a sliding scale the pres ent prices of all grades of iron to be made the minimum
 Third-That all coal must be weighed be- fore being dumped.
 To Ignore Sloss Contract
 It was also decided that all miners af- filiated with the United Mine Workers of America should be paid according to the new scale, regardless of present con- tracts which means that the existing con- tract between the miners and the Sloss Iron and Steel company which does not expire until July 1, 1899, will be ignored.
 The convention was in session until 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when adjournment was taken until o'clock this morning.
 Before adjourning the question of a con- ference with the operators was thoroughly discussed and it was decided to appoint a committee composed of the chairmen of the respective delegations to visit the oper- ators and invite them to conference at 10 o'clock this morning.
 Win be Submitted to Operators
 At this conference the action of the con- vention will be submitted to the repreSenta- tives of the company present.
 President Fairley was seen by an Age Herald reported shortly after the adjourn ment yesterday afternoon and stated that the work of the committee had been dis patched with much precision and that en- tire harmony prevailed.
 On the result of the conference this morn- ing depends the future action of the miners but it is more than probable that the work of the convention will be concluded and the final adjournment taken today.

ALICE WAGNER
 WAS IN COURT Recovered From Her Experience
 of Sunday Night. WARRANTS WERE SWORN OUT Against Phelps and CIisby By the Father of the Chld--The Hearing Continued
 Until Next Tuesday on Motion
 of the Defendants.
WARRANTS WERE SWORN OUT

There were no new developments In the Alice Wagner case yesterday. The child, who was restored to her parents at Il o'clock Monday night, after an absence of about twenty-four hours, had somewhat recovered from her exciting experience, and was able to appear in the inferior criminal court, where the young men who were ar rested, charged with procuring her for the purposes of prostitution, were to be tried.
 Frank Wagner, father of the girl, swore out warrants against Herbert Phelps and Warner Clisby, who had been arrested, in which it was charged that they "did carry away Alice Wagner, a girl over 10 and under IS years of age, for the purposes Of prostitution" The young men at once made bond.
 When the case was called in the inferior criminal court there was large crowd of curious spectators present, who no doubt anticipated some sensational developments. Alice Wagner was in court accompanied by her mother, father and sister, and was neatly attired in a white duck suit.
 C. B. Powell represented the prosecution and J. L. Meade appeared for the defend- ants. Attorney Powell discovered flaw in the warrant and new ones issues which were not different from the first, except in technicality.
 The two young men were on hand and were accompanied by number of friends. When the case was called Attorney Meade asked for a discontinuance and Judge Feagin agreed to postpone the hearing until Tuesday morning.
 Both Phelps and Clisby are confident that on trial they will be discharged and seem much chagrined on account of the notoriety which the affair has received.

 Public.

 The line is the property of the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company and service was suspended because of lack Of patronage. One car, with a mule, as pro polling power will be placed in service and as soon as traffic warrants others will be added.
