VAIN ATTEMPT TO END THE STRIKE.
Strikers Say Transits Proposition Must be
Changed Before They Accept 1t.
(By the Associated Press.)

ST. Louis. Mo-, June developments
in the strike situation today caused hope
TO bound high in the public breast and
in many quarters confidence was eX-
messed that the curtain was about to
no rung down on the prolonged struggle
between capital and labor. But tonight
the word was passed around that the
citizens committee, which has labored
so zealously to bring about an amicable
adjustment of affairs had failed to con-
sumate it's object, and again hope gave
way to bitter disappointment.
Early in the day the citizens commit
tee submitted proposition for settle
ment of the strike to Edward Whitaker,
President of the Transit Company ard
to Ex-Governor William ]. Stone and to
Ex-Governor William j. Stone, attorney
for the Railway Mems Union, the salient
point of which was that the railway
company should agree to restore to its
employment not less than five hundred
additional men within ninety days af-
ter the proposition is accepted. The
proposition further provided that as soon
as the first thousand men have been
provided for. the company shall re-employ
as many mere Of it's former employees as
there snail De places LOT eitneI ny lcaSOl
of vacancies that shall occur, or the
future extension of the company's bust
ness.
This proposition met with the entire
approbation of Mr. Whitaker. Governor
Stone called the strikers grievance COM
mittee together, and they went into Sc
cret session to consider the proposition.
The conference was a lengthy one, con-
tinuing until o'clock. After the ad-
iournment none of the members of the
grievance committee would divulge what
had TRANSFERRED.
At the conclusion of the conference
Mr.. Stone stated that the committee
had made no progress. He said
1--WE reached no conclusion because
desire some information that is absolutely
necessary before we can act
Il can say, however, that the PROPOSE
ton will have to be changed before we
can accept it,
Il desire to say that the citizens com
mittee did not succeed in securing from
the company the concessions that they
led us to believe they would secure. The
proposition as submitted does not go TO
the length promised by the company.

sistance of counsel for his defense.
Mr.. Tillman said it seemed to him that
when an American accepted an appoint
ment in Cuba and then broke the law and
brought disgrace upon his country at the
same time, he ought to take the conse-
quences as they might be melted out to
him by the laws of the country where he
had committed his crime.
IF we cannot obtain for a man a fair
trial in Cuba" said Mr.. Bacon, lit is our
own fault as we have full control there,
and we cannot escape responsibility for
it,"
1t was manifested, said he, that the
Judiciary Committee did not approve of
the retention of the provision in the bill.
Mr. Bacon referred to the alleged con-
spiracy of Captain Carter with Gaynor
and Green. at Savannah. Ga, whereby,
he said, the Government was swindled out
of about $4,000 900. He said Gaynor and
Green were the men who had committed
the offense, while Captain Carter was in
prison. A Federal judge in New York
had refused recently to extradite Gay
nor and Green to Georgia for trial, and
they were free now He cited this in
stance. he said, to indicate fear that a
majority of criminals, at which the pend
ing bill was aimed, might escape.
In opposing the amendment, Mr.. CAT
ferry said: M
II don't think we ought to be swept off
our feet in considering general statute
like this by the populations of Mr.. Medley.
His action has shocked the entire Ameri-
can public. but it behooves the Senate
not to eliminate a provision like this
which guarantees to every American IN
Cuba q fair and impartial trial.
Mr.. Fairbanks said he was willing to
accept the amendment.
The provso was stricken out-46 to 10,
and the bill passed without division.
AT 5:45 D. M. the Senate adjourned,
until 10 q. IN. Monday.

HAVANA CLINGs TO RATHBoNE.
So Fond is She Of Him That She Will Hold Him
Nolens Volens.
(By the Associated Press.)


Havana. June 2-Rumors. having reach
cd the authorities that Mr.. Rathbone in
tended to leave the Island of Cuba, he
was notified that his presence was abso-
lutcly required in Havana until the in
vestigaton into the postal affairs had
been completed. The postal officials now
in charge state there are most cogent
reasons why Mr.. Rathbone should remain
in Cuba, even if they are compelled to
resort to force to keep him here 1t is
understood that additional important facts
connecting the officials with postal frauds
have been brought to the ears of the au-
thorties, who, however. wish to AVOID
even the appearance of harshness in deal
ing with these cases.
Mr.. Rathbone explicitly denies any IN
tentiou of departing from Havana, but,
Notwithstanding this, summons was is
sued by one OF the judges for him, which
was made returnable at the time the
steamer Havana sailed. The principal
reason for the issuance Of the summons
was to obtain under oath Mr.. Rathbone' s
statement regarding Medley. The pro-
ceedings were held in secret, only the
Judge. the clerks, the attorneys and Mr..
Rathbone being present. What occurred
at the hearing is not yet known. W. II.
Reeves has been released on bail of
ST 800. that sum having been deposited.
The sum of 81 900 was cabed to him from
the United States this morning.

KANSAS CITY "G0UGERs. !"
Greedy Hotel Proprietors May Force Demo
rats to Convene in Another City.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 2.-As the time Of
the convention draws near, Senator Jones.
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, is receiving a number of Wig
orous COR plants from the members Of
the National Committee and other lead
ing Democrats throughout the country,
over the action of the hotel people in
Kansas City in the matter Of rates. Many
of the committeeman who write Chair
man Jones on this subject are urgently
requesting that a meeting of the com
mittee be called with a view of reconsid-
ering its action in deciding to hold the
convention in that city. A prominent
member of the committee writes as fol-
lows:
Il engaged rooms for my delegation at
the Coates House at 50 per day with a
parlor for headquarters at $50 per day.
The proprietor of this hotel now writes
that a contract for accommodation means
the 4th, 5th, 9th and It'll of July, whether
the convention lasts that long or not. OF
course, if it lasts longer the amount will
be pro rata per day increased, or If you
take the Accommodations on the third it
will be five days contract instead of a
four days contract This is an outrage
upon all pretense at decency, and ! will
not close such a contract for my delega-
ton
Chairman Jones says that other mem
bers of the committee are writing him in
the same line and that certain members
seem very determined in their efforts to
change the location of the convention from
Kansas City to some other more desira-
bic and attractive place. No action has
yet been taken in the matter by Chalr-
man Jones. though he has ii under seri-
Gus consideration.
