There was an awfully warm time at

four hours, and the motion was finally

At the meeting of the Western FEEDER

Six towns of the West were n the race,

President Boyce's report to the feder-
alton was quite lengthy. 1t covered
some 80 pages of typewriter manu-
script, and in it he reviewed the history
of the organization, showing that 26
unions had been added in 1898, inclnd-
ing 5000 members. He recomme nded a
better system of organization by plac-
ing in the field permanent organizers.
He said that some city should be Sc
lected as permanent headquarters
and a newspaper established as the or
gan Of the federation.
But the most important recommenda-
ton was that the federation should act
with political parties that favored mu-
nicipal ownership of street railways,
gas, water and electric plants, national
ownership of natural resources. such
as mines, and national ownership of
railroads, telegraph lines, teleHA|Re
lines, express companies, and, in fact,
all public utilities.

READY FOR THE COURTS
Street Commissioner Squabble
Will Be Settled.
THORNTON IS, ARRESTED
Police Stopped the Work Of Branagan's
Men Upon Cotter's Complaint.
Officicer O'Meara Tells a
Different Story.

The squabbIe in the street depart
ment resulted yesterday in the arrest
of Owen Thornton, one of the men put
to work by Captain Branagan and IN
the rest of the men employed by him
being compelled to stop work.
Captain Branagan still claims to be
street commissioner, and as Mr.. Cotter
is also exercising the functions Of that
office, the city has two street commits
sioners and two squads of street men.
Yesterday morning Captain Branagan
put three men at work on East Park
street, in front of the Clarence hotel,
patching UP some holes. Mr.. Cotter
notified Branagan that the work must
be stopped and that if the captain
didn't stop 1t he would.
You can stop it if you want to- said
the captain, but not with my con-
sent"
Soon afterward Officer Leyden went
out on East Park and arrested Thorn
ton, the leader of the gang, and told
the other men that they must stop
work. This they did. and Thornton was
taken to Jail. The charge against him
is of obstructing the streets.
Captain Branagan said yesterday
that he will have his case in court to-
day and will find out whether or rot
he is street commissioner, and if he
isn't. who is.
The mayor Is investigating the
charges of undue violence preferred
against Officer O'Meara in the case of
the arrest of Captain Braragan few
nights ago. The officer tells different
story of the affair from that told by
Branagan in his story published in the
Standard. He says that Branagan first
pulled a gun on him and defied him to
take him out of the corral. The officers
instructions were to guard the corral
from Branagan and any other intrud-
ers. He was instructed to act in 4
peaCeable manner and not to resort to
violence unless it should be absolutely
necessary. 1t is not known whether
the mayor has as yet come to a con-
clusion as to whether or not the officer
went too far in the matter, but 1t is
known that he has not yet suspended
O'Meara.
There were no further changes in any
of the city departments yesterday. No
designations were received and no ap-
pointments were made.

HOLY WAR IN CHINA.
Mohammedans Raise the Flag Of Revolt in
Kansu Province.

Victoria. B. c., April 17.-Late Chinese
papers say news comes from Lanchou,
capital of Kansu Province, that the Mo-
hammedan communities to the northwest
of the city-known as the Salah Mussel-
mans-the most savage and bigoted OF
that faith in the Chinese dOminions, have
rebelled. The green sacred banner OF the
prophet has been unfUrled by their
Akhoon, or chief Mullah and the word
passed to all the Mohammsdan townships
in Kansu, Shenshi, and Chinese Turkes-
tan 10 wage war to the knife upon Bud
dhst unbelievers.
A telegram from Gov. JaO, of Chinese
Turkestan, whose capital is Urnmsti, has
also been received at Peking, reporting
considerable unrest among the Tunganis
CChinese MOhan'medans) and Tarantchis,
in Kuldja and. Turks in Kashgara.
A later dispatch from VicerOy, Tao, OF
Kansu, was received at Picking report
ing the massacre of over thirty Chinese
Buddhists by rebel Salan Mohamm edans.
A general confagration is feared with the
return Of warm weather in April or May
when communication becomes easier, un-
less strong army is assembled in kansu.
The ViceTOy complained of the withdraw
al To Peking of Gems. Tung FuchSiang and
Chang ChUn with their best troops, whose
sanguinary battles for the past twenty
years against the Mohammedans have
made them greatly feared by the latter,
not only in Kansu. but also in Chinese
TUrkestan, and that, in consequence, the
whole northwest is practically defenseless,
and at the mercy Of the Mohammedans if
they should unite and rebel.

case. Alibis were put forward for Rod

week, so the only man in whose behalf
efforts have rot been made 10 establish
one is Stokes. the merchant. who has
been alleged by the government TO have

1t was claimed on the stand to-day
that Godfrey was sick at home, that JOY
ner slept in his own residence with 4
school boy, and that Webster was at his
own house with the grippe the night of
the lynching.
The sensation Of the day came after
the defense had closed its case. Among
its efforts to break down the testimony of
Newham, the man who turned States
evidence, was a pay certificate. 1t was
not dated, the date having evidently been
scratched OUT but the defense claimed it

government placed the stub book of the
County Supervisor in evidence, showing
that the stub before and the one after
that of Newham was each issued Febru-

ticket had been directly falsIhed Was Iii
