Tbe seizure OF the Sabine.

London, Feb. 19.---No details have yet
been received by the British government
in reference to the seizure of the British
steamer Sabine, Captain Taylor, from
New York Jan. 4, with miscellaneous
cargo, which, as reported from Port Eli2-
abeth. was captured by the British gun
boat Thrush and brought to DeIagoa
Bay on suspicion Of having contraband of
of war OH board.
1t is officially stated that if she carries
an American cargo she will probably
have to undergo the same process to
which the steamer Mashona was submit
ted by the prize court, and if no contra
band is found on her She ell be handed
back to her owners. Tho foreign Office
officials say That in the event of Amer
lean interests being involved every con
sideration will be shown the owners Of
the cargo.

Manager LUGAR
FAVORS employees
Shorter Hours, Better Pay
and Other Requests
Granted.
NEW TWELVE HOUR SYSTEM
Committee Met General Manager
Last Night and Were Treated
With Courtesy---"His Ear is
Open to His Men," is
Their Opinion.
NEW TWELVE HOUR SYSTEM

General Manager Luger's elrs are
always open to his men," After meet
ing with Mr.. Luger last evening Horace
Croft, David Crawford, George Hall,
William Macklin, William Mcpherson
and George Smith, committee recently
appointed to represent the employees of
the Wilmington City Railway for the
purpose of laying their grievances before
the management, made use of the above
expression.
The system by which the line has
been operated will be changed, and the
men feel they have bettered their condi-
tions in every way.
The lons eighteen and twentv-hour
DAYS will soon be thing of the past,
and regular twelve-hour system will
be inaugurated. This will be much bet
ter for the men.
A 6 per cent. raise in wages has been
granted. The men will get $l.90 for
twelve hours work, which is per cent.
increase in the old rate.
The men have also the right to accept
or reject proposals for their new uni
forms. They will save about S3 20 on
each suit purchased and claim that they
will have much finer outfit than be-
| fore.
The reception accorded to the COM
| mittee by Mr.. Lugar was reassuring and
won the confidence of the men from the
start. He met them in his office and
| treated them like gentlemen and passed
cigars around. He assured the commit
| tee that he wanted to hear any COM
plants that the men had to make and
would endeavor TO adjust any reasonable
grievances.
When told OF the granting of the many
requests made by them at q former con-
ference with the general manager, the
! committee felt as though they were. free
1 men and not slaves to a heartless cor
poration. flsse
Under the new system the men know own
| az the ''early straights" will go on duty
| ab $50 o'clock in the morning and uorR
| until $50 o'clock In the afternoon, with
twenty or thirty minutes for dinner.
\: The slate straiahts" will go on duty
Fat noon and work until midnight, with
Ftime to eat supper.
The "swing men" will begin work al
| $50 a. m. and work until noon. They
\ will 80 on duty again at $50 o'clocE ir
the afternoon, taking the places OF this
''early straight" men, and will work un
til midnight.
The men complained that they did moi
have fair show in case OF q wreck or a
complaint of any kind made at the gen
Eeral office against them. Mr.. Lugar as
sured them on this point, that they
should hereafter be given a chance &c
vindicate themselves and be given the
benefit of reasonable doubt.
/ The above noted changes include the
employees of the Wilmington and Ches
ter line as we'll as the line in this
city.
1t would be hard to find more popu
lar man in the opinion of the employees
OF the local railway than General Man
ager John G. Lugar.

IMPROPER LETTER-WR|T|NG
COSTS HIM POSITION
Officer John A. Conner Under
Serious Charge Made by
Miss Dougherty.
PATROLMAM MUCH WORRIED
Says Worriment Caused Him to Neg
lect His Reports---Will be
Given a Chance to Present
Resignation to CHIEF
DoIan Today.

Writing an improper letter to Miss
Annie Dougherty, of No. 1905 Lancaster
avenue, being sixty-eight minutes late in
making report, and failing to make an
other report, will probably be the cause
of patrolman John A. Conner severing
his connection with the Wilmington
Police Department.
The first move of Mr.. Conner's into
hot water was when Miss Dougherty de
livered to Chief Dolan letter written 10
her by Mr.. Conner, at the same time
preferring charges against the officer.
The letter is said to have contained pro-
family and certain tales which Conner
claimed TO have heard about her and
which che branded as untrue.
the case was first heard by the COM
mission week ago and was concluded
at the meeting of the board last night.
All of the charges against the officer
were sustained and he is ordered to hold
a conference with Chief Dolan today. 1t
is said that this conference ruse is to give
Mr.. Conner chance to resign.
After going with Miss ID ugherty for
about eight years Mr.. Conner broke of
last May, and since, according to Miss
Dougherty's evidence, has ANNOYED her
in many ways. She declares that on
one occasion, since writing her the letter,
Officer Conner, in uniform, visited her
house and demanded the letter. She re.
fused to give it to him.
Mr.. Conner denied many OF the accu
sations made by Miss Dougherty, and
produced witnesses who testified that
Miss Dougherty sent for him.
Officer Conner's excuse for failing in
his reports was that be was worried oyel
the charge preferred by Miss Dougherty
and was looking up witnesses.

MEMORIAL SELECTION
is AGAIN POSTPONED
Only Two Members of the Commit
tee Attend the Meeting Scheduled
For Today,

The Bayard Memorial Association was
booked to meet at 2.30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of hearing the
report of the com nittee appointed to se-
lect design for the Bayard statue, but
they failed to materialize.
This is not the first time the associa-
tion has disappointed the people. The
selection was first promised to be made
on October Is last, Then the time was
extended to November 10, and still the
association disappointed the people, not
withstanding that the money for the
erection of the monument has been
pledged.
When the selection was not made last
November the time was again extended
until yesterday. At the meeting booked
for yesterday only two of the associa-
ton, John S. Rossell and Andrew G.
Gray, We're present and these two are on
the committee.
It is not known when another meeting
Of the association will be called, nor is it
known when the selection will be made,
but it is known who will be awarded the
contract. Good authority says that
Messrs. O'Donovan and Neihaus will re
ceive the award.

DEMOCRATIC OFFICIALS
FROM ENTIRE STATE
VIII be Here on Thursday at Recep-
tion to Ex-Governor
Pattison.


The reception to be rendered former
Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania, at
the rooms of the Young Mems Demo-
cratic Club on Thursday, Wasnington's
Birthday, promises to be most elabo-
rate affair. The clubs committee, COM
posed of Matthew D. Murphy, G. G.
Montgomery, Frank j. McNulty, Harry
p. Bucher and Herman L. First, are
leaving no stones unturned to make il q
success.
Tickets of admission and invitations
have been sent to all Democratic office
holders in the entire State. 1t is de-
clared in some quarters that the recep-
tion is to be made the occasion of the
launch of presidential boom for the e1-
Governor, and that Democrats who held
aloof on the occasion OF Bryan's visit
will be much in evidence on Thursday.
Members OF the club deny that there
is any significance connected with the
visit of the ex Governor. The Governor
has as yet not stated what the subject of
his address will be. He was to have
spoken here on Jackson's birthday but
could not come. He will be the only
speaker OF the evening. There will be
banquet and an orchestra will furnish
music.
