Action in Idaho.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Central
Federated Labor Union unanimously
adopted resolutions to-day denouncing
General Merriam for ordering the dis
bandment of the miners unions in Idaho
and instructing the secretary to ask the
War Department whether it is respOn-
sibIe for { .eral Merriam's conduct.
The resolutions adopted are:
Resolved, That the Central Federated
Union of New York protests against Gen
eral Merriam's unwarranted use of mill
tary power to browbeat the striking min
ers of Coeur d'Alene. Idaho and for de-
claring martial law under which he COM
mandS the diSorganization of all unions
and orders employers to discharge every
miner who does not withdraw from his
trades union. .
Resolved, That the secretary write to
the War Department, asking whether 1t
is responsible for General Merriam's con-
duct. and If so. stating that 1t will be
held to answer for the possible conse-
quences of such aggravating methods.
Delegate Harris of the international
Cigarmakers' Union said that through
General Merriam edict, the miners
trades unions have been placed outside
of the pale of the law and the union
should demand the withdrawal of the
edict and the investigation and court
martial of General Merriam.
president Mckinley should be called
upon to order an investigation he
said.
George Warner, business agent of
New York City Lodge of International
Machinists' Union, said: "A conference
of all labor leaders in the country
should be called to decide on action to
be taken at the ballot box"
Delegate Rubin of the Walters I'm
ion said: ''All this is the outcome of
Imperialism.
A voice: shoulder a gun
Delegate Kelly of the Theatrical Pro
tective Union said: Something should
be done by organized labor to prevent
the disruption of trades unions through
Federal interference"

Smith has addressed a letter to Gen

the military forces in the Coeur
d'Alene while that district is under
martial law, to the effect that no more
arrests of persons suspected of having
been implicated in the Wardner riot
NAV be made in Montana without
proper authority from the State. 1t
had been represented to the Governor
bv a committee from the labor unions,
which waited on him four days ago,
that steps were being taken by General
Merriam to arrest all miners in Mon
tana. suspected of leaving the Occur
d'Alene. and that if the military was
permitted to do so many men innocent
of any offense would be deprived of
their liberty without process OF law.

NEW YORK, May 14.-News was re-

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Admiral
Dewey's home coming by way of the
Mediterranean is likely to give occasion
for distinguished honOrs from the
navies of Europe, most of them being
represented by extensive sduadrOns in
those waters, and some of them having
their chief naval stations at Mediter-
ranean ports Already ambassador
Cambon Of France has called the atten-
ton Of the authorities at Paris to the
return Of Admiral Dewey by way of the
Mediterranean and the probable sailing
of his flagship. the Olympia, past the
French naval ports in Algiers. These
are opposite the British possessions Of
Gibraltar and Malta, at the entrance to
the Mediterranean, and are easy and
natural stopping places along that
route. 1t is hardly expected that the
Admiral will touch at Toulon. the great
naval depot of France
At the ports of French Algiers he
will be accorded every honor due, not
only to his rank, but to the universal
esteem in which he is held by the naval
fraternity.
The British authorities have taken
no steps thus far TO have the Admiral
stop al British ports, but it was stated
to-day by one of the British officers
that Dewey would be assured a most
enthusiastic greeting if he stopped at
any British station, and that undoubt-
edly steps would be taken TO induce
him to touch at Plymouth and Ports
mouth. the southern naval depots of
England, if there was any prospects
of his acceptance In any event, it is
said. the Admiral was quite likely to
stop at Malta and Gibraltar as these
are the usual coaling places, and this
would give an opportunity for an ex-
pression of British esteem for him. In
the event that the admiral could be in
duced to stop in England en- route
home. II is said he probably would be
met at Alden or Port Said by British
escort

Struggle for the Senatorship
Likely to Lead to His
Retirement.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May IA Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Mfchi-
gan political complications may ac-
complish what public opinion and the
beef scandal failed to do. They may
force Secretary of War Alger out of
the Cabinet.
The situation in Michigan briefly
stated is this Secretary AIger wants
to be sent to the Senate and thus Sc
cure a vindication from his own State.
Senator Mcmillan wishes to be re-
elected to the Senate. Governor Pin
gree wants the support of the MICHIGAN
delegation TO the next Republican con-
vention for the Presidential nomina-
ton. Senator Mcmillan has refused all
lance with the Pingree faction. He
will make his fight for the Senatorship
as supporter of the administration
and an advocate of Michigans vote in
the convention being cast for the re-
nomination of President Mckinley.
Secretary Alger cannot hope to win if
he antagoniZes both Senator Mcmillan
and Governor Pingree. To secure the
Senatorship he must make an alliance
with Governor Pingree against McMil-
Ian. Alliance with Governor Pingree
means that he must oppose the admin
istratiOn and endeavOr to secure a dele
cation to the publican convention
antagoniSti> to President Mckinley. To
do this and remain in the Cabinet is
impossible. Secretary Alger is at the
parting of the ways. He must either
give up his Senatorial ambition or he
must resign from the War Department
There has not yet been anv open
breach between Secretary Alger and
Senator Mcmillan, but partisans of both
sides say it cannot be much loneer
avoided There is every prospect Of a
lively fight within the Republican ranks
in Michigan, and as it will involve the
admi, istration it will interest the whole
country

v Herald telegraphs: A salts
l. J factory conclusion is expected
by administration officials from
the conference which will be held bv
the American Philippine Commission
with the commission which Aguinaldo
proposes to send to Manila.
In his dispatch to the War Depart
n1ent to-day General Otis announced
that Aguinaldo had sent messenger to
him expressing a wish to send COM

commission to Colonel Arguelles. Agui-
naldo's emissary. regarding the char
acter Of government which would be
given to the Filipinos and which Ar
guelles declared was satisfactory.
Il is probably apparent TO the Fill
pinos that there is nothing to be gained
by conducting negotiations for the Dur-
pose Of obtaining a temporary cessation

grant an armistice: and he has shown

unless the agree to unconditional sur
render. In his dispatch. General Otis
shows that despite the fact that Agui-
naldo states his purpose to send a COM
mission to arrange peace he is making
preparations to continue military
operations.
It is evident to the officials from this
dispatch that General Otis has found it
necessary TO change his plans. He has
been making preparations to attack
Bacolor where 5000 insurgents are be
lleved to be encamped, and it is pre-
sumed that the movements reported to-
day still have that point as the OBJ
;ective. General Lawton is making ex-
cellent progress in his nOrthward
march, and the dispatch of Major
Kobbe with 1900 men UP the Rio
Grande, supported by gunboats and
cascoes, is for the purpose Of enabling
General Lawton to cross the Rio
Crande without molestation by the en-
emy.
The plan apparently .contemplates the
rapid swinging Of Lawton to the west

SHANGHAI. May 1.-THE Tsung Ii
Yamen (Chinese foreign office) has re-
piled to the Russian Minister at Peking.
NJ. de Giers, that the Government is
unable to accede to the Russian de-
mand, made last Wednesday, for a new
railway concession connecting Pekfng
with Russias present system in Man
churia
Not since the takino of Port Arthur
by Russia have the Chinese been so
agitated as over this demand Whether
Nj. de GlerS named a specific route is
not yet ascertained, some officials as
serting that only preliminary notice
was given by Russia and others that
she is asking for a line direct from
Peking to Shanghai Kwon
Certainly the British legation in
Peking had no previous knowledge that
such proposal was coming from St
Petersburg. The concession asked for
would ruin the existing northern rail-
ways, in which British capital to the
amount of G2,00G, 900 is invested. but
there seems to be no alternative route
without interfering with plans for rail
way extension which the Chinese them
selves have in mind.
1t is believed that Russia's action in
this matter is intended to demonstrate
to the world that the recent convention
with Great Britain respecting snheres
of influence i'll China, which was com
municated to the Chinese Government
almost before this latest concession was
demanded, has not fettered the action
of Russia at the Court of Peking and
also to strengthen Russias prestige
with the Chinese. which was unfavor-
ably affected by her withdrawal of her
late protest respecting the northern

wonders
This is going to be one OF the most
unique and original celebrations ever
held in Iowa. IL is attracting state
wide attention. Did you ever attend a
celebration where everything is managed
by the women? They sometimes are
allowed to manage the singing or are
put on the committee to decorate the
stage, but this time they have organized
and managed tho whole thing from start
to finish. We believe it is going to be one
OF the biggest successes ever known in
the celebration line in this vicinity. One
good thing about it is that any pecuniary
profits arising from it or from the
privileges of the grounds, after the ex-
penses are paid. will go to the clubs
fund for aiding their public library and
free reading room. Every public spirited
citizen and every friend of education
desires to see the library prosper.
Ample arrangements are being made
to accommodate the crowds. There is
abundance Of shade in the park which
has just been moved. Seats will be
placed there SO those who wish to can
have pleasant place to cat their din.
