terday Afternoon On The De
Iayed S. p. Train To Attend the
Convention In Detroit.-Wlll
Stop At New Orleans And ST.
Louis.
The delayed train on the G. n. & S.
A. yesterday afternoon took from this
point three very popular railroad men,
who are on their way to Detroit,
Michigan, as delegates to the conven-
ton of the Order of Railway Conduc-
rors. Their names are McElroy, 81.
Desmond and w. NJ. Stockwell, the
latter carrying credentials as alternate
from this point. This little band of
Jolly railroad men will stop at New Or
leans and transact some business there
and then proceed to Denver where the
present month.
If the business in Denver Is closed in
time the boys propose to return to St.
Louis and attend the ElKS convention
which convenes there the LIST of June.
Several friends were at the depot
to 'see them depart and
many we'll wishes were extended them.
1t is safe to say that these gentlemen
will first attend to the business in
trusted in them and enjoy all the side
scenes possible. They are not supposed
to carry long faces, look savage and
snap viciously at anything with a
pleasant flavor. All they are asked to
do is to advance the interests of the
organization as much as possible when
an opportunity is present ed and have as
much enjoyment out of the trip as pos
sible.
1t is thought that the o. r c. con-
vention will not be in session more
than ten days and then the delegates
will be at liberty 10 60 and do as they
please.
"There il one thing that L sincerely
trust" said 40 .. r. G. man yesterday
after the train pulled out, land that is
that our delegates will never become
as reckless in the performance of their
duties as the % odern inspection parties.
1t has gnt TO stage where the in
spec.ion party i-magine that they can
-eli all about bridge by simply rid
ing over il. When 1 first went rail-
reading the inspection party used to
stop at every bridge and closely ex-
an4:ned every tim Der in it, but nova
days the qusli;y of champagne bot
tie is far more imp rtsnce than the
safety of the bridges. The men we
have sent away as delegates to the o.
r. c. convention are all good men and
[ am satisfied that we will feel good re-
suits from their work"

Chinese Statesman May Soon be Re-
turned to Power.
WASHINGTON. April 6.-The friend
ship which the empress dowager OF
China entertains for Ii Hung Chang
NAV result in his being recalled TO
mower at an early day. There have
been reports that this move was ac-
tually under way, but nothing official
has been received here to bear this out.
The main obstacle to his recall. 1t Is
said. is the difference between Russian
and Great Britain AS to the preponder-
ance of power in China. In the sharp
diplomatic struggle going on between
those two powers. Russia has relied
upon the good Offices of Ii Hung
Chang. while Great Britain has
cause to resent some OF the
activities of Earl Lii in behalf of Russia.
This feeling in British official circles
was the main cause for the enforced re-
tirement of Ii. Since then. however
the British sentiment against him ha:
become less acute and 1t Is understood
that if the dowager empress sees tit K
recall him to power there is not likel,
to he the same opposition as Great Brit
ain would have interposed some time
AGO. In Lii Hung Chang, it is said
China would have tho services of tn
6rst statesman Of the Orient for tn
crisis through which she is passing, an'
that her helplessness In the diplomac;;
of the past two years would be mncl
overcome.

of Natives.

san JUAN, Porto Rico, April 6.-Al-
though there is not at present any
danger of serious disturbance, there is
much dissatisfaction among the lower
class natives throughout the island and
there has been a good deal Of violent
talk by the ignorant against the new re-
gime. The chief cause of this anti
American feeling is the increase in the
cost Of living since the American Occu-
patton began, and the ill-treatment
that many of the natives in the country
districts have received at the hands of
rough soldiers.
Dissatisfaction is also expressed at the
delay in making the island "A part or a
territory Of the United States with the
privileges and advantages that would
accrue to the island from such rela-
ton, especially in the matter of trade.
The conduct Of the United States troops
in Ponce. Caguas and other places has
aroused many of the natives to defend
themselves and in some encounters the
soldiers have come off second best.
These collisions are probably the basis
Of statements in the United States
which represent the Porto Ricans as
strongly inclined to staff revolution.
| The fact is that little more courtesy
in dealing with them would not only
have wonderfully quieting influence,
but would greatly facilitate the settle
