HITCH IN THE PLANS
Delay In ReSuming Operations In
Colorado Shelters.
THE STRIKE SITUATION
MANAGERS AND MEN FAIL TO
GET TOGETHER.
Manager Jones of Trusts Shelters
In Utah Present at Confer
ence In Denver-Men Anxious to
Return to Work at Terms Offered
By Company.

Denver, June every little news has
been obtainable in regard to the smell
ter strike situation in the past twenty
four hours. There is little doubt that
the delay in resuming operations is due
simply to a failure of the managers and
men to get together for conference. but
whether this failure is due to pride on
the part of both sides or to the fact, as
has been alleged, that the smelter COM
pany is not yet ready to resume, is not
so clear. A very large majority of the
men in Denver and at other points are
said to be anxious to return to work at
practically the terms offered by the
company.
The managers of the smelters belong
ing to the American Smelling & Re
filming company, who were in the city,
held a long conference today, which
was attended by Manager Jones of the
Germania smelter of Salt Lake.
Manager Grant of the Omaha &
Grant smelter here stated today that
he had been misquoted regarding the
position of the trust managers on the
eight-hour system. He says that so
far as the furnace men and others
whose work must be done twenty-four
hours day are concerned, three eight
hour shifts would be perfectly satisfac-
tory. but in the case of yard men and
others who have always worked ten
hours a day. it is not regarded as prac-
ticable to increase the force so as to
have the work done in eight hours. For
this work the company prefers the old
arrangements.

TO SUPPLANT The PACIFIC.
American Express Company May Sc

say:
Apropos of the removal of part of the
headquarters of the Pacific Express conn.,

is revived that this company is 10 be sup

the American Express company.
1t is known that the American iEXpress
company people have been trying Tor
some time to secure the Union Pacific
but as the latter owns 10 per cent OF tina
stock of the Pacific Express company. the
effort so far has not proved successful.
Now that the announcement has been
made that the Pacific Express company
will move a portion of its headquarters.
the belief is gaining ground that the
effort TO bring about the change Is posi-
bly, nearer realization than at any time
in the past.
The statement has been made that the
present management of the Union PACING
has been using its influence TO bSpiace

been expected. as the management is con-

PETER IS HEARD FROM.
Says He Has Not Joined the Repub-
lican Party.

Kansas City, June pa Star special
from Carthag Mo-, says:
In an Interview here today, w. A.
PETER. former United States senator
from Kansas, denied that he has Joined
the Republican party, in these words:
Il have not said for myself, nor have
I authorized any other person to say
for me, either that / had left the Popu-
list party or joined the Republican par
ty. What l did say and do now say and
expect to keep saying is that as a fac
tor in national politics, the Populist
party is a cipher; that it is a mere adj
juncd TO the Democratic party; briefly
that for all national purposes, the Pop
ulist party will be swallowed up in the
Democratic party, and as between the
Democratic and Republican parties,
have always been against the Demo-
Gratis. Believing that the contests of
the future will be practically between
these two parties, l expect to do all
that 1 can honorably do to keep the
Democratic party out of power in the
nation
Mr.. PETER also declared himself as
strongly in favor of expansion. He
spoke on the political issues today at
the Chautauqua.

How FilipinOs Regard the With
drawal of Volunteers.
THEY ARE ENCOURAGED
BELIEVE THE AMERICANS ARE
ABANDONING THE WAR.
Details of the Sentencing OF Colonel
: Arguelles, Filipino Commission
er, to Twelve Years Imprison-
ment-Capture of a Rebel Brass
Band-Four Americans Dead.

Manila. June 22.-The rebels have
learned that the American volunteers
are returning to the United States, and
the Filipino newspapers show that they
construe this to mean that the Ameri-
cans are abandoning the war, and are
encouraged thereby
Details of the sentencing of Colonel
Arguelles, a Filipino commissioner, 10
twelve years Imprisonment, have just
been obtained here. 1t was first re-
ported that his condemnation by the
Filipinos was due to the friendship ne
displayed towards Americans, but the
information just received shows the
accusation against him was nor based
on his peace conferences at Manila, as
supposed. They confirm President
Schurman's belief in his sincerity and
show that his advocacy of autonomy
among the insurgents was treated as
treason.
The charge against the colJnel was
that in conversation with Filipino e.
ficers he predicted that disorders with
in the insurgent territory would lead
to civil war, and, therefore, he said.
he considered autonomy under che
Americans preferable to independence.
The Filipino congress tried him on the
charge of treason, and a heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally the
colonel was sentenced to death, but
this was committed to twelve years
imprisonment on account of his pre-
Vious services to the cause, after an
eloquent plea on the part of his coun-
sci.
Colonel Arguelles is one of the most
conservative and respected men identi-
fed with the insurrection.
The outposts of the Washington
regiment yesterday captured General
Pho del Pillars brass band of eighty
two pieces. the members of which
somehow became separated from the
rebel army and came near the Amer:-
can lines without having the means of

have filed a claim against the instru-
ments which, it appears. were leased
by the musicians of General Pho del
Pillar.
Four of the wounded of the Fourth
infantry in the recent fight with the
rebels have died in hospitals.

CONFERENCE OF DEMOCRATS.
Governor Stone Goes to Chicago to
Meet Altgeld.

Chicago, June 22.-Ex-Governor Stone
of Missouri, acting chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, arrived
today and held a conference with ex-
Governor Altgeld and other prominent
silver Democrats.
Governor Stone said he had written
TO Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional committee, who is now in Eu-
rope, as to the ACCESSIBILITY of calling a
meeting of the committee in Chicago at
an early date. To this letter he said
he had received no answer and that if
he did not hear from Senator Jones
very soon, he would call a committee
meeting for about July 20 in Chicago.
The acting chairman says he believes
any Democrat who supported the ticket
in 1896 has right to a seat in the con-
vention, provided he be elected dele
gate in the regular way, even if he did
work for the gold standard in the con-
Vention of 1896.

CABINET IS FORMED AT LAST.
The Members Are Wholly IN Favor
of DrevfuS

Paris. June 22-Late this afternoon
the announcement was made thai SEN
etor Waldeck-Rousseau had completed
the formation of the cabinet.
The senator, accompanied by the new
cabinet ministers, proceeded to the Ely
see palace at Clio D. m, to present his
colleagues to President Loubet. The
new cabinet, as organized, is as fol
lows:
Senator Waldeck-Rousseau- Presi-
dent of the council of ministers and
minister of the interior.
NJ Delcasse-Minister of foreign af-
fairs.
General Marquis de Gallifet-AIinis-
ter of war.
NJ de Lanessan-Minister of marine.
NJ. Monis-Minister of justice.
NJ Caillaux-Minister of finance
NJ Observation-Disclosures of commerce.
NJ. Leygues- Minister of public in
struction.
NJ de Crais-Minister of the colonies.
NJ Jean Dupuy-Minister of agricul-
, ture
NJ. Pierre Daudin-Minister of public
works.
The appointment of General, the Mar
Quis de Gallifet, as minister of war is
an extraordinary example of the way
in which the Dreyfus case has revolu-
tionized political conditions. For years
past the general has been the bugaboo
of the extremists, not only because of
his monarchical sympathies, but on ac-
count OF the rigorous manner in which
he took part in depressing the COM
mune. His entry into the cabinet is I'M
dOubtedly due to his attitude toward
the Dreyfus case, which has been ia
vorable to Dreyfus throughout, though
he holds that the proclamation of the
prisoners innocence should not include
placing the responsibility for the ap-
parent judicial blunders upon the gen
eral staff.
The new cabinet is strong combina-
ton, and is wholly in favor of Dreyfus
but since it contains such extreme men
as Marquis de Gallifet and NJ Miller
and, it can hardly be expected to have
a long career.
The Socialist party have already de-
clared that they viii not in any way
be bound by, or responsible for NJ Mil
lerand's acts as a minister.
Except in connection with the Drey-
fus affair, the new ministry has little
interest and is received rather coolly.
The Dreyfusites are delighted and the
anger Of the anti-Dreyfusites knows no
bounds.
Its opponents predict that the cabinet
viii fall next Monday. owing TO the in
cOngruous combination of Markuis du
Gallifet and NJ. AIillerand.
II is understood no cabinet will per
nit a meeting between Dreyfus and his
wife. Brest remains calm. Its inhabit-
ants are for the greater part Dreyfus-
ties. and it is said there would be no
danger of a hostile demonstration even
Il Dreyfus landed during the day time.

! Washington June 22-Joseph n.
Ager, president of the Maryland State
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. WAS
| before the industrial commission to-
I day. He said a trust among the farm
ers such as was suggested by Mr. Hav-
emeyer, was impracticable, owing to
the difficulty of getting the farmers TO
| hold up prices. Speaking of colored
LABOR, he said it was unreliable be-
cause of the natural Incidence and in
difference of individuals of the race
Liquor he regarded as the great bane
of that people and responsible for nine
tenths of the crimes committed by
them.
Mr.. Ager considered the condition of
the average farmer as worse than it
was twenty years ago. but he believed
money invested in farming safer than
in other lines of business. He attribu-
ted the number of abandoned farms in
the states to the fact that they were
owned by nOn-residents.
Mr.. Ager said the grange was not so
prosperous in point of number as for
merly, and he attributed the falling off
largely to the fact that the grange
could not be used in politics.
L. W. YOumanS of South Carolina
occupied the witness stand during the
afternoon session. He said the agri-
cultural interest of the south was
greatly depressed, and he attributed
the depression to the fact that silver
was not recognized as a money 10 cor

ton As a consequence there had been
a general depreciation of values.
Wouldn't Listen to Him.
He was proceeding to develop his
views upon this point when Major
Farquhar made point of order
against the character of the testimony
and the point was sustained by the
chair (Hon- A. l.. Harris), after a
somewhat spirited encounter between
Representative Livingston and the Re
publican members.
Mr.. YoumanS then proceeded to other
considerations. He thought the tariff
also an obstacle to progress, saying
that while the cotton growers of the
United States were compelled to COM
pete with the cheap labor of the world
in sales abroad. he was not allowed 20
buy the product of that J in other
articles abroad without p. : a duty
of 40 per cent upon il. As remedies he
suggested the free coinage of silver,
lower tariff and no banks of issue. He
had tried the Investigation Of crops
and had not been successful
Mr.. YOumanS said he had no fault
TO find with colored labor. and That he
pronounced it infinitely better than
imported labor.
Il employ 800 to 400 negroes" he
said. ''and L find them dOcile and will
ing to work. 1 go away and leave my
family among them, feeling confident
of their safety and protection"
He thought. however, that the negro
was. as a rule, irresponsible to efforts
TO educate him, and that while he will
ingly paid his share for such efforts
at education. he considered the money
so spent as thrown away.

MADE A BIG HAUL.
Was Not Clever Enough to Get Away
With Plumber.

Boston, June 90 sneak thief en-
tered the Metropolitan National bank
here today and stole $4,000 while the
paying teller's attention was drawn
away for a moment
well-dreSsed man, apparently
about IS years of age, entered the
bank at about IL o'clock and at the
teiler's window asked for some direc-
lions about sending a money order
The teller gave the information desired,
and the stranger stood at the counter
apparently making the notes. Just
then the teller was called to another
part of the office and the visitor quick
ly thrust his arm through the grating
of the window and took fifty 800 notes
and five $1,000 notes and escaped.
Detectives from the central office ar

GENERAL STRIKE AVERTED.
Chicago Packers Accede to Demands
of Their Employees.

Chicago, June 22-Sixty men en-
ployed by Swift & Co. today joined the
400 strikers who yesterday quit the
employ of various stock yards firms.
Thirty colored men who went TO the
yards today expecting to be employed
were frightened away by the angry
strikers. The men who quit work are
butchers and platform men. who de-
mand S1l5 instead of the $3.50 at pres
ent paid. To this demand the Chicago
Packing & Provision company today
agreed. and the strikers from that
house resumed work. 1t was reported
that Armour & Co. would also grant
the increase.
Effects of the strike reached the stock
exchange today, shares of the Union
Stock Yards and Junction Railroad
dropping two points.
All of. the packers, with the exception
of Swift q Co, met the demands of
the strikers this afternoon, and the
men are back to work today. About
twenty of Swift & Co.'S men are still
out. but there is no possibility of a
general strike

CONVENTION HAS NOT GOT
DOWN TO WORK.
Delegates Busy Electioneering and
Wire-pulling-Fight for Guberna-

Has Not Joined Republicans.

Louisville, KY, June 22.-The second
day of the Democratic convention was
a blank so far as proceedings of rec
ord go. Under the surface, however, it
was the busiest day of electioneering
and wire-pulling incident to the gath
ering. Two short sessions were held,
one in the morning and one in the
evening. At the former committees
were appointed and recess was TAX
en- until evening to allow them to
work This evening the credential
committee had scarcely begun its work
when the convention adjourned until 8
o'clock tomorrow morning.
This committee will have to dispose
of some 300 seats. Its deliberations
Will govern the length of the conven-
ton, and if radical action be taken in
any one direction it may effectively in
fiuence the nominations. The Stone
Goebel combination is still master of
the situation. having control of the
machinery of the convention. This
was demonstrated twice today in the
forcing of an adjournment.
Chairman Redwine and the other
temporary officers, it is believed, will
be retained in the permanent organ
ization.
Tonight the Hardin people are busiIy
working on the Stone delegates, for il
is in this direction their only hope lies.
They are using the argument that the
Goebel followers are using the Stone
Goebel combination for purely selfish
purposes and that they will attempt to
nominate the Kenton county leader
for governor regardless of the tacit
understanding that Stone should re-
ceive this prize.
Meanwhile there is no sign of weak
ness in the combination. Stone or Goe-
bel may be nominated for governor,
and the report of the committee on
credentials may decide the race. The
makeup of the remainder of the ticket
will depend upon the selection for gov
ernor.
The platform will declare for Bryan
and silver and is likely to contain an
antitrust plank

of the Nineteenth century, a resolution
will be introduced by an Illinois MEM

WINTER WHEAT A FAILURE.
Minneapolis Dealer Gives His opin

Times reporter regarding the general
wheat situation. Charles y. Pillsbury
said:
L look upon the winter wheat crop
as practically a failure. The winter
wheat section of the country has not.
from all appearances, raised any more
wheat than we need here at home Tor
our own consumption. So far as the
northwestern spring wheat area is con-
cerned. the crop is looking and doing
fairly well. In some low places there
may be slight damage from too much
rain, but on the whole, with Favorable
weather conditions, from this time for
ward there ought not To be any reason
why we should not have up here
reasonably abundant crop
so far as Minnesota is concerned,
the state as a whole never suffered
from a crop failure. This year 1t may
be true that in some localities where
the ground is fiat and low and rains
have been heavy. the plant has devei-
oped too much ranknesS. but such areas
are necessarily quite limited.

Girls Strange Disappearance.

South birmingham, Mass, June %
The community is excited over the dis
appearance of Helen Games, the IL
year-old daughter of Elfred NJ. Games,
a wealthy wheel manufacturer of this
town. She was last seen leaving her
fathers office about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Games fears that she
has been kidnapped. The girl went to
her fathers office on her bicycle, re-

went away, leaving her wheel there.
Since that time no one remembers hav-
