new broader, and more eep1ng lines
from now on, aided by the united forces
of all the lsborers on docks at Buffalo.
Grain shovelers, freight handlers,
hoistine engineers, monthly men, coal
passers, and ore handlers are to stand
together shoulder to shoulder Until
the grievances of all are righted and
victory is complete from one end OF the
water front to the other.
This is made possible by the person
al popularity of Bishop Quigley. AT
his word the. railroad men and others
will quit work who would not listen to
the agitators.
This morning the monthly men at
elevators. engineers, fremen, etc. are
all out and will stay out.
Bishop Quigley of the Catho1c
church was asked to act as mediator
between the strikers and the contract
ors, by whom they were employed, as
soon as the trouble was threatened,
and ON May 9 he conferred with dele
cations of the different interests AFFECT
ed by the strike.
The state board of mediation and ar
bitration, together with 81. ID, Gaulder,
attorney for the Lake Carriers assocla-
tion and three members thereof, Glib
son Donglas, of the Western Transit
company, and others waited upon the
bishop at his residence.
He was asked to intercede with the
men and ask them to accept the terms
offered by the contractor. Nothing re-
suited from the morning meeting but
second was held in the afternoon at
which Bishop Quigley presided. He
prepared a report of the conference pro-
ceedings and submitted it to the strik-
ers the following day and it was receiv-
ed with loud applause.
A portion of the strikers after
hearing the report came to terms,
agreeing to return to work If the blsh-
op was authorized to appoint sup
erintendent and the grain shOvelers be
allowed to appoint their own boss
coopers. A portion of the men how
ever would not agree to these
terms.

ested parties met at the episcopal re-
sidence again May Ii and an all night

Is Believed To Be Becoming
Serious, Owing 10 the
Attitude Of Cubans.
MUST GIVE UP ARMS
Gen. Brooke Is Approved BY
the Administration And
Will Be Upheld In
His Policy.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-There ap-
pear to be differences between tne Cu-
bans and Americans OF a nature SO
tense that only the greatest tact ana
ability coupled with a compromising
disposition on both sides will be aole
tn solve them without results OF
grave nature
Tbis,eems to be the opinion at the
war department. although the ohclals
refuse to discuss the situation puo-
licly. There is less criticism OF 90
mez than there was. 1t is believed
the old general is still prc-Amerlcan'
but that the opposition OF tie otner
Cuban generals has discouraged him.
Although the course OF Gen. BROOKE
is not approved in all its details oy
his superiors here, there Is
no disposition to criticize him for. de-
mandinp that the Cubans give up their
arms.
That measure is approved as neces-
arv one and If all the differences OF
opinion should be traceable to this or
der, it is quite likely that Gen. Brooke
would be sustained fully by the nome
government.
If there should be an uprising in Gu
bs. Brooke will certainly be permitted
to remain at his post. War depart
ment officials say there is no one bet
ter qualified to deal with such sltua-
tiop. The government is prepared 10
establish it's authority in Cuba at all
hazards although it is anxious to avoid
any conflict.
Such a conflict, it is gems rally con-
ceded, would postpone Indefinitely tne
independence of the island, toward
which end the administration 1s now
working.
This morning Alger cabled Brooke
asking him for statement as to the
reported troubles in Cuba.

pRESBYTERIANS
To Hold General Assembly at Min
nedDOIiS.

ncdDOlIS.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. May 16.-Pres-
byterian ministers and laymen from
the east and west are pouring into Min
neapolis for the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church of the United
States which convenes Thursday, for q
session of two or perhaps three weeks.
There will be more than seven hun
dred accredited delegates in attend
ance, an increase of more than two hun
dred over the number that attended
the last general assembly of the church
held in Minneapolis, which was that OF
1886.
As forerunner of the big gathering
there was opened this afternoon mis-
sionary conference which will continue
two days and in which prominent Pres
byterian missionaries from many cour-
tries will take part.
Among those already on the field are
Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe, of New
York, the retiring moderator; Rev.
DR.. r. F, Sample, of New York, who
is prominent candidate for modefa-
tor, and Rev. DR.. w. b. Roberts. OF
Philadelphia, stated clerk.
The choice of moderator is still a
matter of speculation, but the chances
are In favor of western man being
chosen.
Interest in the election of moderator
is. heightened this year by reason OF
the agitation in certain directions for
a new method of governing the assem-
bly,. There are many clergymen who
regard the moderator as at present en-
dowed with too much power. This
movement is primarily directed IS
blow to the politicians Of the assembly
by stripping .the moderator of the
power to name his supporters as mem
bers of important ommittees-twenty
or thirty in mum ber-which are called
upon to carry on the work of the Pres
byterian church of the country during
the year.
What is known as the "Peoria over
ture' has recently received tie in
dorsement of the Brooklyn presbytery.
This measure looks to the appointment
of committees by the representatives.
of the several synods represented in
the assembly. This, it is argued, will
make the standing committees thor
ougbly representative of the various
churches.
Boston and Winons Lake, Ind, are
out with bids for the general assembly
next year.

FIRE AT ALAMOGORDO
The Pennsylvania Hotel Totally
Destroyed and Adjacent Build
inUS Consumed.

ALAMoGORDo, N. M, May l6. Spe-
cial TO the HERALD.-The Pepnsylva-
mia, two-story hotel and boarding
house, was destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The guests lost heavily.
Two other frame buildings were des-
troyed and are total loss.
The story as given Oui by the Ell
Paso and Northeastern railway Off
cials in this city is as follows:
This morning between and 10
o'clock a fire broke out 10 what is
known as the Whiteman building. and
extended to the old ,CalifOrnia build
ing, occupied by aiCninsmsn as II
laundry and at one time used as a
rooming house.
Two or three old sheds were torn
down to prevent the spreading of the
flames. This probably prevented
great destruction of property.
The loss is very slight, as the build
ings destroyed were OF very little
value.
Harry Alexander of the White Oaks
says the town will soon have its water
works completed and will then be able
to fight fire very successfully.

Klondike Trails Full of Graves.

than 200 men lost their lives on the

Klondike mines. Fifty were drowned
in the great slave Lake.
The steamer Laurada, which arriy.
ed day from Fort Wrangel and in

and freezing. Ten men were frozer
to death, some committed suicide,
twenty-five died of scurvy, several
were lost in the woods, score were
found dead Of exposure, and only the
strongest got through to the coast.
Hundreds are still in danger, and
many Of these will never see the Uni.

cabin on the Laird River, early in
February. He was respondent be.

Relations With The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

For years a very illiberal policy
characterized the Baltimore and Ohio
r. r.. in its relation to West Virginia
shippers. and to local roads, but under
the new management broader and
more husiness-like view is taken Of
both Of these matters. To strength
len the Morgantown and Kingwood
r. r. and encourage shippers, miners,
lumbermen, and all other producers,
it has rendered a written contract &c
the Morgantown and Kingwood Z. r.
such as it has recently executed and
exchanged with the Tunnelton, and
Kingwood r. r., by which for term
of "a years it agrees to join with the
local road in fixing one freight charge foI
all freight originating upon or going
to the latter from the main line, with
certain limitations as to short hauls,
and providing for an arbitrary division
of the freight charge upon fixed per-
centage. highly favorable for the short
road, and at the same time giving the
shipper on the short road as low rates
as if he were on the main line. Thus
the new road will start off upon the
most favorable basis, and upon terms
that the Kingwood and Tunnelton
Road did not secure.
