MILWAUKEE MEN DESERT.
They Don't Last Long on st. Louis
Car Lines.

st. Louis, May 18.-The culmina-
ton of the prolonged struggle between
the st. Louis Transit company and
its miniature army Of employees is not
yet in sight, Notwithstanding the con-
ferences held during the past week.
Yesterday, like the preceding ones,
was devoted to conferences but up to
a late hour last night no solution
tending to end the fight had been ar
rived at 1t is understood the hitch
is entirely on the clause which calls
for a complete reinstatement of all
the old men. Officer J. T. Cokeley,
who is doing guard duty on a car of
the Jefferson avenue line, was shot
and painfully wounded yesterday af-
ternoon during a disturbance at JEFF
ferson avenue and Randolph street.
Mrs. Myrtle christensen and Miss
Elizabeth Peterson. who it is alleged
fired the shots, were arrested. Eleven
men from Milwaukee who went to
work for the Transit company yes
terday deserted their cars on the first
! trip and went over to the strikers.
A mass meeting last night was at
tended by 5000 strikers of the Transit
system. After a vigorous discussion
of the railway companies proposition
| it was rejected by an overwhelming
vote Resolutions were adopted call,
ing upon all sympathlzers with trade
unionism to suspend labor after to-
| morrow.

Kentucky Contest Promises to he
Long-Winded Affair.

Frankfort. KY, Jan. % 1T will be prob
ably three weeks before the gubernato-
rial contest boards win be able to make
their report to the Legislature and vote
thereon can be taken by that body.
Chairman Hickman of the Goebel-Tay
lor contest board announced to-day that
it had been determined to allow each side
four days longer for the presentation of
evidence. AT least two days will be taken
up by arguments, and Mr.. Hickman said
the board would require at least one
week in which to go over the evidence and
prepare it's report.
Ex-Gov. Bradley, for the contestees,
asked for more time and the Democratic
attorneys gave him two days out Of their
four.
The churches of Frankfort to-day unit
ed in a prayer service, asking that all
trouble from the present political situa-
ton and all danger of bloodshed might be
avoided.

TO the contest board to-day Clarence
Walker, official stenographer of he court
in Louisville over which Judge Toney pre-
sides was the first witness introduced by
the Republicans. He declared that Judge
Toney was in Mr.. Walkers office in Louis
vile a short time after the issuance OF
the injunction, declaring that the Brown
johnson inspectors should be admitted to
the polls.
When Attorneys Kohn and Phelps act
ing for the Democratic party. asked 10
be heard on the injunctions, Judge Toney,
the witness said told them to issue notice
of a motion 10 dissolve the writ, and he
would hear 1t later. They declined 10 do
so, and according TO Walker, seemed 10
prefer to have him overrule their motion,
SO that they could take it to the Court OF
Appeals.
Doland Mcdonald of Louisville was the
innocent cause of some pointed debating
between ex-Congressman Hendricks, who
is one of the Democratic counsel, and Col
Breckenridge.
The witness insisted upon giving his
opinions as well as his knowledge of facts.
and Mr.. Hendricks objected. Col Breck-
inridge declared that the Democratic coun-
sci had been asking for opinions ever
since the contest began and the gentle
men fatty contradicted each other several
times.

Hut There Was No Quorum and Moth
Ing Was Accomplished.

Washington, Jan. 3--The Senate. in ex-
ecutive session. again to-day discussed the
Samoan treaty upon the basis of the mo-
tion of Senator Jones of Arkansas, to re-
consider the vote by which the treaty was
ratified.
Speeches were made in support of the
motion 10 reconsider by Senators Jones,
Petugrew. Allen and Money, and in oppo-
siuon by Senators Davis and Foraker. AT
The conclusion OF the debate a vote was
ordered, but a roll call disclosed tho alb
sence of quorum. The call so far as
it went, showed II for and % against.
Senator Jones stated that when the rat
ihcatioh of the treaty took place 1t was
The understanding that there was to be
no attempt on the part of the govern
ment of the United States 10 establish n
civil government in Tutuia, the island
which had been allotted TO the United
States in the transaction with Great Brit
ain and Germany. The next day after the
vote of ratification the newspapers had
published a very positive statement In ex-
act opposition to this understanding. APP
parently this statement was authorized
II was to inquire into this and other mat
ters that he had asked for reconsidera-
ton.
Senator Davis. speaking in behalf OF the
committee on foreign relations, said he
knew of no change In the situation and
he still contended that the authority exer-
csed in the island by the United States
singly would not under the new arrange
ment differ materially from the joint pro-
tectorate under the tripartite agreement
between tire United States, Great Britain
and Germany.
Senator Pettigrew called attention to
the reports of dlsahection and dissatisfac-
h.,
wards the new arrangement. Senator Da-
Wis said he had no official information con
cerning Malietoa's attitude; that he had
heard nothing about 1t beyond what he
had seen In the newspapers. and that II
the President had any information on the
| subject he had not communicated 1t tc
him. Both Senators Davis and Foraker
urged the Senate to allow its former ac-
tion to stand. Senators Allen and Berry
| spoke against the treaty.

He VIII Make Several Speeches
To-day.
New York, Jan, 23.-Wlliam j. Bryan
took breakfast at the Hoffman House this
morning with number OF free silver and
sngle-taN leaders. Subsequently he re-
ceived the newspaper reporters.
When asked if he had made harmony
speech at the Belmont dinner last night,
Mr.. Bryan answered:
Il don't know if 1 used the word har-
mony or not, but l always speak in such
a harmonious strain that no one can OBJ
ject unless he disagrees on the issue. As
matter of fact, l talked very little on
politics"
Col. Bryan declined 20 discuss the letter
Of Robert b. Roosevelt and others pro
testing against his entertainment as the
guest of the Democratic Club. About
noon DIR. Leveson of Brooklyn an anti
inperialst, called, with two Fllipinos, but
Mr.. Bryan refused TO see them.
Mr.. Bryan's callers to-day were nearly
all silverites. The gold Democrats held
aloof
Tonight Mr.. Bryan dined at the Dem
ocratic club as the guest of President
Keller, with twelve others.
The clubhouse was crowded from 8
o'clock. Seats were at premium in the
dining room. The crowd pushed and
thronged and jostled and smoked ana dis
oussed everything waiting for the guest
of the evening.
Al 730 he drove up with j. S. oliver,
sergeant-at-arm of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, and eX-Gov. Hogg or
Texas The great crowd in the corridor
through which the party had to push, gave
three cheers for Bryan.

ahan, ex-Gov. Hogg, Judge James A. Cor

John Whalen, John f. Carroll, Thomas
f. Grady, Bernard j. York, Andrew
Freedman, DIR. j. b. Cosby and w. l..

Senator Grady and Mr. Bryan told some
funny stories. For little over an hour
Col. Bryan and his fellow diners at the
little table ate and drank. AT the close.
Mayor VanWyck entered the room and
sat down next to Mr.. Bryan, with whom
he conVersed. Then in the large recep-
tion room line was formed and President
Keller introduced those who shook hands
with the guest. including nearly all the
heads of the city departments. Shortly
afterward. complaining of a headache, Mr..
Bryan was driven to his hotel.
Il am very much pleased with the cor
diality of my reception he said. ut
does not seem possible that there could
be many more persons gotten into this
place.
After Mr.. Bryan had left ex-Gov. Hogg
said: This shows that there is no dissen-
sion. The club has given Mr.. Bryan a
royal reception. OF course he is here not

CHAPELLE UNDERSTANDS 1T.
Separation of Church and state in
the Philippines.


the Philippines.
Chicago, Jan. 23.--A special TO lhe Rec
ord from Washington says:
There is a complete understanding be-
tween the government and Archbishop
Chapelle concerning church affairs in the
Philippines. He has gone there as the rep
resentative of the Pope for the purpose
of reorganizing the Catholic Church upon
the same basis that exists in the United
States, and Gen. Oils is thoroughly In
formed of his mission and of the policy
he is directed to pursue.
There is no intention on the part of the
United States government to conhscate or
10 occupy without fair remuneration any
property belonging 10 the church, but the
estate and other property belonging to the
religious orders, or whose title Is in the
name of the Bishop, will be taxed like
any other property. the only exception be-
Ing such property as is actually used for
worship or for educational purposes.
There Will be no objection TO the friars
remaining in the Philippines, provided
they do NOT interfere with political and
civil affairs. and confne their activity
exclusively to ecclesiastical matters. The
schools will be secularized. although there
VIII be no objection to the establishment
of Catholic schools, provided the church
or the people prefer TO maintain them. No
public money will be given to the support
of any sectarian institution either educa-
tional or benevolent, and the priests Will
NOT be allowed any other privileges or inn
munities than they enjoy in this country
In short, Archbishop Chapelle under
stands and agrees that there is to be an
entire separation of the church from civil
affairs and the same freedom OF worship
and religious instruction that exists in this
country,

trict Attorney Marion Erwin has nrriyed
from New York where he has been in at

In speaking of the case, MIR. Erwin said
that 1t was the evident intention OF the
counsel for the indicted contractors to
fight off action until after July /. in the
hope of picking a flaw in the indictment
and thus escaping trial.
Should they succeed IN breaking the
present Indictment after July ], the statute
of limitations would supervene, whereas
If the indictment should be successfully
attacked before that time another could
be secured.

event but does not like the flibusterlng
