UNION RECOGNIZED.
Smelter Men and Employees Are Get
ting Together.

Denver, June e.-The union recently
organized by employees of the smelterS
has been recognized by the American
Smelling & Refining company and the
prospects for a peaceable settlement of
the questions arising under the new
8 hour l-w have greatly improved. A
conference has been held between a
committee from the union and Mr. Jas.
b Grant, chairman of the advisory
board of the company. The committee
announced that the employees would
demand an eight hour day and the
same wages for eight hours as they
have been receiving for ten to twelve
hours. Mr.. Grant replied that the COM
pany would pay the scale of wages of
1893, an increase of 10 per cent and that
the men would be paid by the hour
and would have the option of working
more than eight hours. The committee
agreed to submit the company's propo-
sition to the union. 1t is understood
that if no amicable adjustment can be
made the question will be taken before
the state board of arbitration
BY this MEANS said Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor who has been or
ganizing the smelter employees Il think
the danger of a strike is done away
with l believe the men will have no
difticulty in securing terms from the
smelter owners that will give them just
as much for eight hours as they have
been getting for ten or twelve"

TO APPLY TORCH.
Cubans Plan to Secure Indepen-
dence of the Island.

New York June 9.-The Herald says:
In a private letter received from a dis
tinguished Cuban, now a resident of the
United States, is a most sensational
statement about the plans of the ire
concilable Cuban leaders. The writer
is conservative and is in a position to
know what is going on at present in
Cuba.
The information is as follows:
The latest story from Cuba, which
have every reason to believe, having
been told me by a prominent Cuban
whose intimacy with the leaders in Ha-
vana lends authority to the statement
is that the former revolutionary ele-
ment has decided to make a virtue of
necessity and gracefully, to outward ap-
pearances, accept American interven-
ton.
AT the end of two years, however, if
Cuban independence is not acknOw-
lodged and the government transferred
to the Cubans, the torch is to be ap-
piled from one end of the island to the
other by which means all foreign in
vestments will be destroyed. When it
is considered that the wealth of Cuba
is dependent on agricultural develop

"FILIPINO" A SUCCESS.
Modoc Production Much Better Than
Average Home Talent Show.

The Modocs gave an exhibition of
their excellent vocal production in both
individual and concerted style at the
Grand Opera House last night The
occasion was the alleged comic opera
Filipino" and the music of ''Pinafore''
made the lyrics from the pen of Cap
tain A. A Rowley enjoyable. The au-
dience that heard it was sufficiently
large to stimulate the singers to their
best efforts, and consequently there was
no room for dissatisfaction over the
price of admission.
Captain Rowley's construction is a
burlesque on the union of the Philip
would be altogether harmless if it were
not for one feature. This is the at
tempt to ridicule the lieutenant colonel
of the Twentieth Kansas Until 1T has
been proven that Ed Little is not a
competent officer and a brave fighter
an attempt to publicly hold him up TO
ridicule is out of place For this rea-
son the lbretto of Filipino" is faulty
as far as Colonel lightweight is con-
cerned.
The principal solo work fell to Adrian
Sherman as Captain Gridley," H. s.
Lawrence as Colonel Lightweight. -
Frank Weightman as "Philopena," DR..

Call as "Deadbeat," and each one of
the number sustained the reputation of
the famous singing organization to
which they belong. The chorus work
was excellent. as Modoc club chorus
work invariably is.
The management of the production
realized that it would not be complete
without a cake walk, and such a fea-
ture was introduced. 1t was amusing
~ done, and created much laughter and
applause.

and those who did not go to the Grand

opportunity of hearing the Modocs'
voices accompanied by ''PinafOFe

LANDED ON FEET.
Two Kansas Congressman Who Got
In Henderson Wagon

Two Kansas congressman seem to
have landed on the ground floor with
Henderson of Iowa, who is to be the
next speaker of the lower house of
congress. J. NJ Miller and w. ]. Bailey
seem to have cast loose from their
moorings in time to get into the prom
ised land before the gates were closed.
The other members of the delegation
will now be compelled to get in by
climbing the fence.
Some of the politicians urged the con-
gressfonal delegation to meet and in
dOrse Henderson. This was talked
about a great deal, but nothing was
done. More than a month ago J. NJ.
Miller of the Fourth district addressed
a letter to Henderson in which he ex-
pressed preference for the Iowa man.
An exchange of several letters follow
ed and Mr.. Miller was cordially thank
ed for his effort in behalf of Hender-
son.
Soon after the Miller incident W. ].
Bailey, who was watching the situation
closely, saw the Wisconsin delegation
declare for Henderson He immedi-
ately telegraphed Henderson that he
would vote for him. Thus it occurs
that two Kansans will be close to the
next speaker.

The capers cut by the Wabash fresh
men the other night in papering the
chapel with flaming bills and otherwise
defacing the college buildings with pos
ters and paint by way of celebrating
a baseball victory over the sophomores,
has resulted in a suspension of the en-
tire class.
Two alleged ring1eaders were called
to the faculty carpet. One of them,
Henry. fatty denied connection with
the affair and was expelled. not so
much for the part he had taken as the
alleged deceitful course pursued The
other, Layton, made a clean breast and
was suspended indefinitely, being nOti-
fed of the faculty action.
The freshmen held meeting and
waited upon President Burroughs, de-
handing that the action be rescinded-
He explained that the Offenders had
been punished as individuals rather
than as classmen, whereupon the entire
class acknowledged itself equally guilty
with Layton and elected to take the
same punishment. Glass suspension
followed and all are barred from final
examinations.

You can sum up history on this point

historians know about it,
There was a rustic among the dele
