MORE ABOUT THE CONVENTION
Being Made To Have
AS Many Sent In Here Free As
DOSSihJe


"There is only one thing to prevent
the convention of idle railroad men
from coming off in Ell Paso in Septemb
er," said a conductor yesterday, and
that is the railroads must come to time
and do right by US. We will in day
or so ask that transportation be furnish
attend. If they fail to do this we will
hold the convention in some of the
eastern cities where the roads will do
right by US.
sit is not our intention to bring in q
lot of moneyless men here, as has been
stated. Not in the least. There
are plenty of men out OF employment
who have plenty of money and would
come here purposely to protest against
the railroad officials using the black
list system. 1 have received letters
from various parts of the country in
quiriug about the convention and stat
ing that they would be in attendance.
This move on the part of the men who
have been injured by the blacklist has
been under consideration for years.
We want to make the fig ht hard one
and will not stop till we have won our
point.
81 think the roads will come in all
right and grant our request and the
convention will come off in Septem-
ber.''
When the suggestion was made to
pull off the convention during the
midwinter fair he thought that it
would be a very good idea and said
that be would place the matter before
the proper parties for consideration
It is said that the convention would
bring thousands of people to Ell Paso.

FAIR WAY OF SETTLEMENT.
Satisfactory Understanding Reached In
Regard to samoa.

Regard to samoa.
Washington, March l5.-After nu-
meorus conferences and the exchange
OF notes between Secretary Hay, the
British ambassador and the German
am bassador, a satisfactory understand
ing has been reached between the three
powers interested in Samoa az to the
conditions there. This seeks to open
a new account Of Samoa and to obliter-
ate the troubles among officials which
have recently occurred there. To
this end. DR.. Wilhelm Salt. who has
been nominated by Germany as presi.
dent Of the municipal council at Apia,
to succeed d.. Raffel. will be recog.
nized by the British and United States
authorities. Already this recognition
is assured, but 1t remains for the con-
suls at Apia to carry 1t into formal
effect, in accordance with the letter of
the treaty Of Berlin. DR.. Salt will
reach Washington the latter part of
this month. He will then proceed to
Samoa, reaching there in May. His
assumption OF the municipal presi-
dency, with the approval Of the three
powers, is expected to smooth out mat.
teIs among the officials and go long
way toward adjusting the entire mat
ter.
In reaching this conclusion, the off,
Gals Of the three powers have decided
not to attempt a settlement OF the
Samoan kingship for the present. In
the meantime, the status quo is to be
maintained. According to the under
standing reached, there will be no move
to establish, permanently. one or the
other OF these claimants on the throne.
The kingship will be settled by full
conference as soon as all the informa.
ton ON the subject is obtained.

An ALLAN LINER STRANDED
She Goes Ashore on Nova
Scotian Coast.
TUGS SENT TO THE RESCUE
Passengers Taken OF without Accident
A Dense Fog Prevailed at the Time
of the strandidg Of the Vessel.

Halifax, N. S., March 14.-The new
Allan line steamer Castiian, from
Portland, for Halifax, went ashore at
Gannet rock light, near Yarmouth, this
morning at low tide, in dense fog,
her compasses being deranged. Two
com partments are full OF water, and
tugs have gone from Yarmouth to the
scene. The Castilian arrived at Hall
fax from Liverpool 10 days ago on her
maiden voyage, and went to Portland
to load cargo for return. She is 5000
net remistered tonnage, being the
largest Allan line steamer afioat.
The ship lie in charge Of Captain Bar
rett and officers formerly of the steamer
Partisan, the entire crew of the Partisan
having been transferred to the new
boat. The steamer was due to embark
mails and passengers here for Liver
pool.
The steamer began leaking immedi-
ately after she struck, but the best dis
cipline prevailed among the passengers.
They returned to their berths, anG were
called out again to don life preservers,
which many were wearing when they
reached Yarmouth on tugs at SIS this
evening. The passengers and crew all
saved their baggage. The steamer
went on at low tide, which will be in
her favor.
The place of the disaster is a few
miles from where the Moravian, of the
Allan line, was lost some years ago.

utmost reticence regarding the steam
er's experiences. 1t was cleaned from
the crew, however, that the Pavonia
passed through terrible ordeal. Her
troubles began with terrible gale on
January 80. For three DAYS the en-
gines were slowed and mountainous
seas tossed the Pavonia like shuttle
cock. Then her boilers began to move
in their cradles and to bump against
each other. Eventually the engineers,
after the most arduous labors, secured
the boilers with ropes and chains, and
the humping ceased, but it was found
that the steam pipes were broken.
The crew assert that the vessel rolled
so tremendously that it would have
been impossible sometimes to walk on
her innersides. Three boats were lost,
part of the port rail and the galley
were carried away, and the bakehouse
was stove in. AS the Pavonia lies at
the dock she presents a pitiable, dam
aged condition.

Manila. Oct. 19.-The consuls in Ma
Mia have received from Tarlac, where
it is believed Aguinaldo remains, book
the correspondence between
him and the American commanders and
consuls. in which, as he contended in
his recent appeal for recognition, the
Filipinos find the basis for their asser-
ton that the American government rec
them Independence.
The book is addressed to the mem
bers of the United States congress and
contains long argument by Senior
Buencamino of the so-called cabinet of
Aguinaldo and alleges that letters We're
written by Rounsevello Whitman, Unit
ed States consul at Hong Kong, 10 Ag-
uinaldo in June and July of last year.
1t has made sensation among the
Spaniards here.
Replying to Aguinaldo's request that
the Americans would arrange for the
shipment of the Spanish prisoners to
Hong Kong, relieving the Filipinos of
the expense of maintaining them, MIR.
Wildman wrote
Never mind feeding them. meal
every day of rice and water Will be a
good diet. They have been living too
high during the last few years. AS
the Spaniards want more bloodshed in
the Philippines, trust you will let
them have a taste of real war. Do not
be SO tender with them. Handle them
as they would treat YOU"
Mr.. Wildman's letters deal largely
with the shipment of arms.
The whole correspondence, however
contains no promise of Independence.
Senior Buencamino lays stress upon
the letters from Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Anderson. requesting passes for
American officers and others to visit
Filipino territory. and upon letter
from Gen. Anderson asking you and
Your people To cooperate with us in
military operations against the Span
