All the companies are preparing for
trouble Stockades are being built
about the mines and guards are being
posted. There is a bad feeling between
union and non-union men, and serious
trouble may come.
The miners district board will meet
today and canvass the situation. The
calling of the strike can hardly be
avoided now, as failure to do would,
in the minds of the miners, mean the
Reorganization of the union. The COM

The appointment of J. r. RraidWOod to
the superintendency of the Kansas and

sidered by the U. M W. of A. district
board as a hopeful indication that the
Kansas and Texas company may yet

IN SECRET SESSION.
Working Heads Of Every Road
in the Hartman Syndicate.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-It was learned to-
day that since last Monday the working
heads of every road embraced in the
Hartman syndicate have been holding
secret sessions in Chicago, and these
meetings are to continue till the end
of next week. Among the officials pres
ent are: J. c. Stubbs. general traffic
director of the Union Pacific, Southern
Pacific and Central Pacific systems; z.
o. Mccormick, general passenger traffic
manager of the Southern Pacific; E. L.
Lomax, general passenger agent of the
Union Pacific; Ben Campbell. general
traffic manager of the Oregon Railway
and NaViga ton company; A L. Craig,
general passenger agent of the same
road, and D. E. Burley, general paSSen-
ger agent of the Oregon Short line.
All of these officials brought with
them their stenographers and secre-
taries and are quartered at the Audi
torium Annex. None of them is reg
istered and the greatest secrecy has been
preserved concerning their movements
When it became known in railway
circles that the meeting was being held
it was said that its object was to start
a vigorous campaign for the purpose of
bringing to the Pacific coast and from
there to the eastern centerS of COM
meFce every dollars worth of traffic
that can be diverted to this country
from the orient.
E. o. Mccormick general passenger
traffic manager OF the Southern Pacific,
said.

such provision for this magnificent
trade as will at least take care of it's
beginnings. We have the Occidental
and Oriental line of steamers, the Pa

vessels the equal of any on the Atlantic
ocean will soon be added to each of
these fleets. Our agents are now travel
ing all through the Orient seeking trade

be a vast and rapidly increasing COM
merce''
None of the other participants in the
conference would discuss its real char
acter except to state that schedules and
details of passenger traffic were being
looked into and equalized. 1t is known,
however, that one of the principal OBJ
jects of the meetings outside OF the
main and all important item of oriental
trade extension, is the settlement of the
proportions of traffic between the var
ious lines embraced by the combine.

with the gains or the association for
the past year. The daily attendance at

most active and strong for the past week
were those which were inclined to react.
OCCASIONALLY there were declines from
specific causes, such as that which took
place in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The
July statement of this company was
disappointment, and inasmuch as the
stock has been neglected in all the rise
of the past month, the more speculative
class of holders would naturally take
alarm easily. There is suggestiveness. too,
in the remarks of President Wrsland OF
the Metropolitan Street Railway company
before the referee in the franchise tax
litigation Wednesday afternoon The Met
ropolitan Street Railway company is sup
posed to be the strongest OF al the trac-
ton systems. Mr.. Vreland said that if
the franchise tax were imposed In full
many leases would have to be surreu-
dered. and that If the connecting lines OK
the system are TO be separated, scarcely
any could earn fixed charges. # this Is
true of the Metropolitan Street Rail way
company. it be equally true Of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Arguing on these lines, an astute room
trader hammered the price down and was
rewarded by liquidation in abundance. On
the other hand general business over the
country is excellent and there Is no break
in the remarkable record Of Increase IN
railway gross earnings. Better traffic ex-
tends from Canada to Mexico.

The Islanders Will AOt he Permitted to Ignore the Hand that

Washington, Feb. 14.-As the result
 of conference between President Mckinley and Secretary Root supple
 mental instructions have been sent
 to Gen. Wood to call the attention of the Cuban constitutional convention
 to the importance and necessity of in
 cluding the requirements of the Unit ed States government in the consti-

 The action of the administra ton in
 insisting on change in the constitu- tion is based on the principle that the
 United States is the guarantor and
 protector of Cuba. It is demanded
 that the Monrie dactrine shall be rec ognized: that Cuba shall not mort
 gage the island to any foreign DOW CT; that the United States must be given the right to establish four na- val station-at Havana, Guantinamo, Nipe and Cienfuegos-a and must have the right to maintain al least a part of the present military force in the island, and that the United States is to assist Cuba in maintaining a sta ble government
