SHUT LELAND OUT.
Pat COney Has Scheme to Keep
Him Off Central Committee.

The anti-Leland forces are pursuing
the national committeeman with great
vigor and the announcement is now
made through Captain P. H. Coney that
Leland will be denied reelection on
the state central committee.
AS the committee members are now
selected by judicial districts it would
seem that Mr.. Leland would certainly
be reelected because he would have
Doniphan and Nemaha county's dele
cations, there being but one other coun-
ty in the district, Brown.
Mr.. Coney has given it out that the
anti-Leland forces will present to the
state convention a proposition to have
the state committee reorganiZed by the
election of five members from each con-
gressional district by the delegates to
the state convention from each district.
This would place the 'anti-boss"
crowd in the saddle in the First con-
gressional district.

MAY BE TROUBLE.
Telegraphers and Santa Fe
Officials in a Controversy.

The grievance committee of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers are in con-
ference with General Manager Nudge
of the Santa Fe this afternoon. If the
committee holds to it's demands trouble
may result.
The committee asks that the Santa F'e
management grant individual increases
to operators amounting to $4,000 a
year.
In addition. it is demanded that the
chairman of the general grievance COM
mittee be allowed to dictate all promo
tions of operators.
The grievance committee was in con-
ference with the Santa Fe officials less
than a year ago, and at that time the
company claims individual increases
were made amounting to $4,000 a year
A number of concessions relative to
hours of work and duties were also
made
The Santa Fe people say that in the
ma jority of instances Santa F'e operators
are now paid better than the operators
of other western roads. The demand
for increases will in all likelihood be
refused.
The Santa Fe officials say that the
privilege of allowing the grievance
chairman to dictate promotions is seme-
thing unheard of among railroad or
ders and will be refused.

BLOW TO M'KINLEY.
Indications Are That the Sen
ate Will Not Ratify Recip-
rOcity Treaties.

New York. March IA special to the
Journal of Commerce from Washington
says:
The present indications are that all
of the reciprocity treaties framed by
John A kasson, under authority of
President Mckinley and the state de-
partment will fail of ratification There
has been intense hostility to all these
treaties since their submission to the
senate by President Mckinley. The
prospect seemed to brighten a little for
the French treaty, when a favorable
report was made by the committee on
foreign relations by the chairman, Sen
ator Davis of Minnesota. 1t appears
however, that the report in favor of
this treaty was largely a courtesy to
Senator Davis and does not represent
the views of all of the Republicans on
the committee. Senators Lodge of
Massachusetts. Foraker of Ohio, and
Wolcott of Co1orado-three of the seven
Republicans-ar declared to be against
the treaty and are not unlikely to be
supported by Senator Frye of Maine.
This would reduce it's supporters to
three Republicans, unless they were
Joined by the four Democratic senators
from the south. Senator AIdrich of
Rhole Island, who is at once chairman
Of the finance committee and one of the
directing minds of the senate, has al
ready given notice that he will move
the reference of the treaty to his COM
mlttee rom present appearances this
motion will prevail, unless all the Demo-
cratic and Populist members of the
senate should oppose it and be Joined
by those Republicans who favor the
treaty. Senator Aldrich would have
strong grounds for urging reference to
his committee, even if there was not
opposition to the treaty, for it cuts
deep into the revenue from customs ard
appears, therefore, to be a proper sub
ject for consideration by the committee
which deals with revenue and financial
problems. Senator Aldrich will undoubt-
edly have the support of all the MEM
bers of the finance committee in this

COMPROMISE IN SIGHT.
Carnegie and Frick May Not Get Into
Court,

New York, March 7-Char1es NJ.
Schwab, president of the Carnegie Steel
company left this city for Pittsburg last
evening. He came here to consult An
drew Carnegie about the litigation in
which the Carnegie company and Mr.
Carnegie are involved as a result of the
suits brought by H c. Frick and others.
Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Carnegie were in
consultation the greater part OF yes
terday. Neither would talk about the
conference.
The time allowed for Mr. Carnegie and
the Carnegie company to file an answer
in the suits in question will soon expire,
and it is believed the conference was in
relation to the wording and general
tone of this answer. While neither Mr..
Carnegie nor Mr.. Schwab would talk
about the matter, it was persistently
rumored that the troubles between Mr..
F'rick and his associates and Mr.. Car
negie and the Carnegie Steel company
would be compromised and the suits
discontinued.

Charleston. w. Va, March Hope
for the rescue alive of so or 80 miners,
believed to be still entombed in the
Red Ash mine-the scene of yesterdays $

doned.
A number of dead bodies were taken
from the shaft after II o'clock last

is unknown, but it is supposed to have
been caused by a miner entering an
unused room in the mines with an open
lamp. There were AZ men in the mine
at the time of the explosion and if it
had occurred twenty minutes later the
loss of life would have reached $50 or
more. The names of the men who are
