Chicago, June 3.-Congressman D. b.
Henderson of Iowa arrived in Chicago
today to meet, he said, some of his
friends on the Illinois. Wisconsin and
Michigan delegations. Congressman
Hopkins was the first to greet him, and
they conferred together for over an
hour.
Advices received today, it is asserted
by General Henderson's friends. assure
his selection as speaker. The action Of
the Illinois delegation on Friday, and
the assurances from Indiana and Michi-
gan, left little doubt in their mind as
to the outcome of the contest, but word
came that the ten Massachusetts, Re-
publican congressman and the Mary
land delegation of four had voted TO
cast their lot with the Iowan, the
claims were made that his election was
now certain.
The following votes, General Hender-
son says, are now pledged to him:
Illinois. IA; Iowa, Il; Ohio. Is; Wiscon-
sin, 10; Minnesota, z; South Dakota, 2;
Massachusetts. 10; Maryland, 4.
To this will be added to certainty,
1t is asserted, the votes of the Michi-
gan and Indiana delegations-tweive
from the former and nine from the
latter-giving him a total of ninety-four
votes, or one more than a majority of
the Republican votes in the house.
Later in the afternoon word came
from Topeka that six Of the seven Re
publican congressman in Kansas were
also for Henderson. Word was re-
ceived from Congressman Fowler OF
New Jersey, saying there would ne
votes for General Henderson in that
delegation and an intimation that the
east would do much more for him than
had been looked for.

Express Company Declares That But
a Small Sum of Money Was Taken

Stories of Passengers.
Especial to The Herald.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., June 3.-The several
posses which started in pursuit of the
six robbers who dynamited the Union
Pacific mail train near Rock Creek yes
terday morning. have thus far been
unsuccessful in the search. Every ave-
nue. of escape is now closely guarded,
and unless the bandits escape from the
country before the posses reach the
scene, which is hardly possible, they
will surely be captured, dead or alive.
Among the pursuing parties are some
of the best plainsmen and trailers IN
the west. The government, railroad
and express officials are determined
that the robbers shall not escape, and
money is not being spared in the work.
Today Manager Gentsch of the Pa
cific Express company stated that the
robbers secured about 500 in cash and
a few articles of small value. Thirty
four hundred dollars worth of currency
en- route to the First National bank of
Portland, Ore, was also taken, but the
bills are not signed by the officers of
the bank, consequently they are worth
less.
This afternoon federal officers who
visited the scene of the holdup found
100 pounds of dynamite, horse blan-
kets and other articles left behind by
the robbers. The railroad company has
not given an estimate Of its loss in
property, but is known to be quite
heavy.

STRIKE IN COLORADO.
Men In Smelter Refuse to Accede to
the New Rules.

Denver, June 3.-The notice posted at
the various smelters in Colorado con-
trolled by the American Smelling &
Refining company, to the effect that
the employees will hereafter be paid by
the hour instead of day, and that they
will be permitted to work more than
eight hours a day, should they so elect,
has resulted already in a strike of the
$50 men employed at the Durango smell
ter.
The smelter employees say the eight
hour law, which goes into effect June
10, must be observed. and they demand
the same wages for eight hours as have
been paid for ten hours. Notice was
posted today at all the smelters of the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany and also at the works of the Phil
adelphia Smelling & Refining company
of an increase in wages of 10 per cent,
restoring the rate that was paid pre-
viouS to the panic of 1898. The wages,
however, will be considerably less for
eight hours than have been paid for
ten or twelve hours, and it is possible
that a general strike of smelter en-
ployeeS in Colorado, numbering over
10000, will take place when the eight
hour law becomes effective.

NO OPPOSITION TO BE FEARED
FROM HER DELEGATES.
Peace Conference Committee Holds
Important Meeting and Agrees to
Articles Regarding Arbitration.

The Hague. June 3.-The drafting
committee of the peace conference to-
day held an important meeting, at
which NJ. de Staal, head of the Rus
sian delegation; Sir Julian Pauncefote,
chief of the British delegation, and
Count Nigra, chief of the Italian dele
CATION, were present.
Articles to u of the Russian pro-
posal bearing on arbitration were
agreed to. almost without modification,
though the American delegates de-
clared that they could not admit the
provisions of article 10, that monetary
questions and questions concerning
inter-oceanic canals should be compul-
sorily submitted to an arbitration tri-
bunal.
The entire committee on mediation
and arbitration will meet Monday to
review the work accomplished by the
drafting committee. The latter will
take up on Wednesday the most i'm
portant question of article Is, which
deals with the establishment of an ar
bitration court.
1t is expected that the American,
British and Russian proposals will lie
welded into one. and there is every in
dication of a universal desire to reach
the establishment of a system of per-
manent arbitration, the German dele
gates, whose opposition was formerly
feared, declaring themselves DESTROYS as
the other members of the conference
to arrive at such a conclusion.

SALT LAKERs ABOARD.
Many Stories Told By the Terror
Stricken Passengers.

Among the passengers on the Union
Pacific train held up on Friday were
Judge W. II. Dickson, Samuel Paul,
George A. Snow, Conrad Miller, War
ren McCord and Miss Edna Sherman of
Salt Lake City; A. A. Steed Of Farm
ington, Henry Harker of Taylorville
and George ]. Harbour of Heber City.
Judge Dickson, in relating his exper-
fence during the blowing up and rob-
bling of the express car, said that the
train was delayed five hours at the
place where the crime was committed
and was nine hours late in reaching
this city. Aside from this delay the
passengers experienced no inconven-
fence. and, in fact, for a long time,
knew nothing of what had happened.
When they did hear of the holdup there
was great excitement, and the air was
full Of rumors and no two reports
agreed. Some asserted there We're four
robbers, others six. Some said the rob-
bers had their horses corralled near by.
but no one was sure.
One passenger informed Judge Dick
son that the engineer was ordered TO
run his engine, with the cars. forward.
When he delayed he was struck over
the head with "a revolver. Another of
the robbers placed a revolver against
his back and SwOre he would shoot il
he were not obeyed. They were des-
perate men, and would have blown up
the express messenger had he not
jumped from the car when ordered. The
car and the safe were blown to atoms
by the explosion of the dynamite
All was conjecture as to the amount
of plumber the robbers secured Some
placed it as high as $4,000. 1t was also
stated that portion of this was I'M
signed national bank notes, which
would be worthless to the robbers.

HOW DIAMONDS ARE NIPPED.
A Clever Continuance That Cuts
Them Out of a Stud.
(Chicago Inter-Ocean.)

Chicago 1nter-Ocean)
when we speak of a crook 'nipping a
diamond stud, we use the word advised
ly,'' said a central station detective. Its
not a case of idle slang. In fact, nearly
all the words used in a slang way by
thieves and police officers come nearer to
expressing the exact idea of what We
mean to illustrate than most people think.
Take, for instance, the phrase. stole a
diamond Now, that's all right in its
in which diamonds may be stolen, so 1t
gives us no clew as to the particular
method of operation. But when we are
told that some crook has 'nipped' a spark
we know exactly how he did it, and have
fair sort of lead to work on.
ITO nip a spark means to cut off a dia-
mond from mans shirt-front. The
phrase originated in the style of the in
strument used by the thief. Diamonds
pulled out from a shirt-front, as some
people believe. The diamond nipper car
ries a small instrument made like a pair
of nippers. 1t can be carried between the
fingers and kept concealed in that way
and has a little cup into which the dia-
mond falls when cut from the gold mount
ing. When the nipper sees a stone that
pleases his fancy, he simply slips his little
instrument TO the front, jostles and
him for treading on his toes, and having
distracted his attention, slips one hand
close to his bosom. A simple move, a
pressure of the finger, the sharp Jaws
clutch the shank of the pin or stud the
diamond drops into the cup-like recepta-
Gle and the nipper is gone. So is the dia-
mond."

COLLEGE MEN IN A ROW,
Nearly Free Fight at Intercol-
legiate Games In Chicago.

Chicago, June 3.-The annual field
day of the Western intercollegiate
Athletic association took place today
The University of Chicago team won a
rather easy victory, a total OF forty-six
points being placed to its credit. Notre
Dame college was second, chiefly, with
thirty-three points, through the efforts
of its captain, ]. F. Powers, and Michi-
gan was third, with twenty-seven. The
Wisconsin men failed to live up to the
expectations of their admirers, scoring
but fourteen points.
Other colleges receiving credit marks
were: Illinois, 8; Drake university, Ia,
8; University of Iowa, 4; Grinnel COL
lege, Iowa, 3, and Northwestern univer-
sity, 8. The meet took place on the
Ravenwood field, midway between
Chicago and Evanston.
A fight, which for an instant threat
ened to develop into a battle royal be-
tween a hundred or two hundred in
furiated college men, took place at the
finish of the half-mile run. Immediate
ly after the start, cries of foul were
raised against the Michigan men, who.
ii was claimed, were deliberately pock-
citing Moloney, the Chicago contestant.
The cries increased to a perfect uproar
as the men came into the stretch, bat
Moloney managed to get through and
won" by a desperate effort. AS the
Michigan men left the track and start
ed for their quarters, one excited spec
tator struck at Barrett, and in a second
the bicycle track incline and part Of
the field at its edge was a mass of
shouting, fighting men. Policemen
jumped into the crowd, however, and
hustled the original offender out of the
grounds.
The heat was intense, and many Of
the men, especially in the long runs,
were very much exhausted at the
finish Mclean of Michigan, who won
out in the final of the 120-y yard hurdles,
fell in a dead faint after crossing the
line. and did not regain consciousness
for fully fifteen minutes.

THE CoMPANY'S ESTIMATE.
Robbers Secured $1,000 and Did
S7OO Worth of Damage.

The train robbers who held up the
Union Pacific on Friday morning near
Wilcox, Wyo., secured s., 900 and caused
damage of about $500. That is the in
formation which Agent Daniel of the
Pacific Express company at Salt Lake,
who went to the scene on Friday, wired
to The Herald last night.
No trace has been found of the rob-
bers, though two posses are out search
ing for them. They have had many
hours the start of the officers, so they
may have had time to disband and to
go in hiding. If they keep together in
the mountains IL will be a much easier
job for the officers to overtake them
A reward of 500 has been offered for
each man. 1t is supposed that the
gang is of the "Hole-in-th WalI' out
may be easier, inasmuch as some of
these desperadoes are known.
H. NJ. Clay. general agent for the
passenger department of the Union
Pacific, received this dispatch last
night from Superintendent E. c. Har-
ris:
The Union Pacific robbers took part
of d package of $4,000, new, incomplete
currency of the First National bank of
Portland, Ore, consisting of $50 and 800
bills, bearing No. 1853. These bills are
not signed by the bank officials, and
are consequently worthless, but the
robbers may attempt to pass them. No
tify banks. merchants and officers to
look out for such bills and parties try
ing to pass them
Agent Daniel wired that the safe
blown up was one of the last of the old
kind used by the company. Had it
been one of the new safes ii could not
have been shattered, for he says these
are proof against dynamite.
In view of the statement that the rob-
bers secured only $1,000, it is believed
that the reason why they did not hold
up the passengers in the sleeping car
was because they did not want to de-
lay.
