TRAIN MEN MAY PROTEST.
Against the Hazard and Risk of Lives
From Want of Train Orders

Topeka. Dec, 1s.-Public opinion
concerning the telegraphers' strike is
changing here The cause of this is
the unrest prevalent among the en-
gineers, conductors and trainmen, over
the differences between the company
and the operators. The unrest is not
thought to comprehend so much SYM
patty for the operators as it does their
own interests Said prominent en-
gineer: IF we suffer this thing to go
by unquestioned, the right of the COM
pany to do as it pleases will be per-
manently established, and in spite of
everything we can do the rights and
privileges of organized labor will be
hopeless1y lost. It is the principle we
are striving for, and come what may,
the principle must and Will be main
tanned that organized labor must have
rights
''What are the prospects of aid from
other orders?.' was asked President
Dolphin.
1.-The trainmen, engineers. fremen
and conductors will enter grave and
serious protests against the hazards
they are working under When they
accepted employment their contract
did not embody the hazard and risk to
their lives that exist now. The COM
pany has had long enough to give them
train orders by com petent hands and
attendant security, but has failed to
do so.

Washington, Dec. 1S--In connection
with its consideration of the army or

committee listened to an argument by
Adiutant General Corbin for the con-
tinuation of the present canteen sys-

taken no formal vote on the subject
but there has been more or less ex-
change of opinion among members,
favorable to the retention of the pres
emit system and the elimination of the
house canteen provision

THREATEN A BOYCOTT NOW.
Trainmen Send a Delegation to Ask
for Mediation.
CONFERENCES ARE COMMON.

Topeka, Dec 1S.-ShOuld the Santa
Fe officials persist in refusing to ar
bitrate the differences with the Order
boycott, it is said, will be sprung by
the members of the order all over the
country and an effort made to bring e
the road to time by cutting off its bus
mess The Order of Railway Tele-
graphers has about IL, 900 members,
comprising telegraphers and station
agents on every road in the United
States. If no agreement can be
reached, an order will go out to all the
members of the order to route all pas
sengers and freight business, both from
the East and West, by some other line
than the Santa Fe.
Representatives of the trainfnen, con-
ductors, engineers and firemen, held a
conference with General Nudge, of the
Santa Fe, for the purpose of attempt
ing to mediate the trouble between the
road and the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers- AS the operators wanted to
induce action touching the entire Santa
Fe system and Mr.. Nudge has juris-
diction over the Santa F'e proper only,
MIR. Nudge referred the delegation to
Third Vice Presid ent Barr.
The te1egraphers' headquarters at
the National hotel presented a lively
appearance all day. The representa-
tives of the different orders held a
lengthy conference before they decided
to take any action in the matter

New Operator Attacked.

Ardmore, /. T., Dec. 1S.-The Santa
Fe strike situation is now greatly i'm
proved here The company issued an
order announcing that all passenger
and freight trains on the division from
Purcell to Temple will be handled by
telegraph. This indicates that all
Offices must be supplied with operators
The Western Union offices in the
Chiclxasaw nation are now open for
business Unknown persons at Daugh-
erty smashed the Santa Ee company's
windows and attempted to ASSASSIN tie
the new operator. No one was hurt.

PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED.
Strikers Say The Outcome Of The
Strike Is Already Won.
NUDGE SAYS "WAR OF WORDS"

Topeka, Dec. 1.-THE officers of the
strikers say they are not prepared just
now to give out all the information
they have, but they intimate that they
will have something to suggest in a
few days which will surprise the peo-
pie, especially the officers of the Santa
Fe road.
President Dolphin says he feels as
sure of the ultimate outcome of the
strike as he would be if it were already
He sets a week the time for
the strike to end and be won
Chairman Newman, of the grievance
committee, was much pleased over the
foggy weather He said that the new
men did not understand the manner
of adjusting their instruments to the
stormy weather conditions, and as a
result the train reports We're being
hope1essly delayed
President Dolphin says there are
some ship loads of freight at Galveston
which the road cannot move and upon
which 5000 day demurrage on each
ship is to be paid
General Manager Nudge of the Santa
Fe still appears to be very sanguine
about the outcome He says that the
strike has descended to a mere war of
words between the company and the
strikers, and that nothing more seri-
Gus will result. Mr.. Nudge says there
has not been bit of dirninution of the
business of the company SO far as
freight is concerned, and that the
company can we'll afford to go along
in the present condition of affairs. He
remarks that if the strikers can stand
the present arrangements he surely
can, and that, far the officers of
the road are concerned, the strikers
can carry forward their fight as long
they desire

The Reverse and the Disgrace.

London, Dec. 1s.-The astounding
and utterly unexpected reverse of the
British, the news of which was broken
to the nation exactly one year after
General Buffers defeat at Co1enso,
effectua11y disposes of any hope that
the war in South Africa is nearly end
ed, and completely abates the reports
that the operations there were merely
of a guerilla nature.

disgrace of such laege body of men

THREE FOR FOURTH DEGREE.
Prisoners Testimony More Effective
Than any Other.
COST OF ANOTHER TRIAL.

II Dorado. Dec 1.-THE prisoner.
Jessie Morrison, wept when Judge
S3aTnn discharged the jury, for she had
hoped for acquittal until the last To
her family and her attorneys, however,
the result is gratifying 1t is the more
SO because a verdict of first degree muir
der was not for a moment considered
by the jury Those who voted for con
victIon were for manslaughter in the
fourth degree. which would mean i'm
Prisonment of from six months in the
county jail TO two years in the peni-
Tertiary
The defense feels, too. that it has ac-
eonplished a great deal in overcoming
public sentiment. When the trial
commenced, nine-tenths of the people
of Fl Dorado believed Jessie Morrison
had killed Clara Wiley Castle in cold
blood
Jessie Morrison has more friends now
than she had before she went the
witness stand to testify in her ovva de-
Gense- Foreman Hewitt, of the jury,
made this statement to reporter for
Ehe Kansas City Journal:
1.-The prisoners testimony was more
effective than any other in inducing
nine of as to vote for acquittal She
was her own best witness. The dying
statement of Mrs. Castle was not given
great credence, because 1t passed
through too many hands. The only
point which all of US agreed was
that DIN Castles testimony was worth
less. Most of US thought that he ought
to have been in Mrs. Castles place.
There seems to be a strongly deve1-
Oped sentiment in Butler county
against trying Jessie Morrison again.
District Clerk Osborn said that the ex-
pense of the present trial would be be
tween s., 500 and 5000.
IF the csse is tried again, it will
cost at least s15,oOO," said he, 1--WE
could build a new court house with
SIS, 600, and we need that more than
we do to send Jessie Morrison to the

Law Books Bound I'm Canvas.

Topeka, Dec 17.-Kansas is about to
try experiment Kansas has always
bound its 1awbooks in leather. A
Kansas publisher contends that leather
is not the proper binding; that it rots
quickly. He claims that canvas bind

cheaper. In accordance with his
advice the attorney general will
recommend that the legislature pass
a law providing that all 1awboolzs
published after this be bound in can
