muIgatiOn-Angeles Surrenders.

ule arrived by the transport Fitzpatrick.

cussion. The public desires the Philippine

rendered. in the Camarines, with nineteen

He Instructed sheriff Hudson TO Ex-
haust His Resources First.

The citizens of Boonville, Warrick cOun-
ty, after having permitted three lynchings
to occur in their neighborhood within the
last year, changed their minds recently
and objected strenuously and successfully
to another mob killing man last night.
Truax Wheeler murdered his sOn-in-law
with an AK at Jacksonville. near Boonville.
Saturday and then shot himself. His
wound was not serious and he was put in
the Jail at Boonville.
Last evening Sheriff Hudson, of Warrick
county, teIegraphed to Governor Durbin
that mob had formed in the country
and was moving on the Boonville Jail with
the purpose Of lynching Wheeler. He asked
that a company of militia be sent from
Evansville to protect the prisoner. The
Governor telegraphed back that the sheriff
must exhaust his resources before the
State could act.
The Governor was at Anderson, but the
Indianapolis office of the Western Union,
in finding that the Governor was out OF
town. informed Assistant Attorney General
Merrill Moores of the news from Sheriff
Hudson, and Mr.. MooreS who was in his
office at the Statehouse, quickly telephOned
to the Governor al Anderson and TO Repre-
sentative Hemenway, who was at his home
a BoonVille.
The sheriff's telegram was received by
the Governor at $3.50 o clock, and an hour
later Mr.. Moores was informed by Mr..
HemenWaV Indt lnere was no 0eeu Oh
troops at Boonville, for the citizens had
armed themselves and escorted Wheeler
from the jail to the railroad station where
he was put on a train and taken to Evans
Vile and lodged safely in jail.
The mob was composed Of farmers living
near Wheeler's son-in-law'S home. The
people of Boonville, when they were in
formed that the mob coming, took
their shot guns and rifles from the corners
where they leaned and their revolvers from
their bureau drawers and assembled at the
jail to back up the sheriff. The country
mob lost courage at the sight of the deter
mined Boonville men and there is no in
formation that any very hot words passed.
AS soon as Wheeler was put aboard the
train the farmers returned to their homes.
''It shows a mighty change OF public
opinion TO the right side i'm BOonville."
said Mr. Moores when he hung up the tele-
phone receiver after Mr.. Hemenway had
finished describing the discontinue Of the
murderously- intentioned countrymen.

HOPE AROUSED AT PARIS.



PARIS. Sept. S-A great feeling of relief
is manifest among the Americans in Paris
in consequence of the reassuring cable
grams from Buffalo regarding President
McKinley's condition. The official advices
received by Ambassador Porter and Consul
General GOwdy and the information reach
ing other Americans here are very meager.
and the bulletins communicated through
the Associated Press are perused with the
keenest interest and have aroused hope
that Mr.. Mckinley will recover

something like this: Perhaps we have had

Lincoln and Grant were before him We
have had more autocrauc Presidents, like
Andrew Jackson. We have had Presidents

never had a more lovable President, one OF

with the common people. meeting them on
common level as fellow-citizens, that he
became the victim of a cowardly assassin.
The mystery of IL Is that such a man
should be singled out as the victim OF an
assassin. The sorrow OF IL is that such
man must suffer at the hands OF such an
element OF society as the ASSASSIN repre-

cially that petty horde of human beings

MILWAUKEE. Sept. s.-The Bayview
meeting, after a stormy session to-day,
broke w in a row. The radical element
not quite half of those in attendance, voted
to return to work. and will do so tomorrow
when the mills start up. The question Of
returning TO work was defeated at length,
and after every member had had his say
President Joseph d. Redfern ordered a
secret ballot to be taken. An appeal was
made. The appeal was referred to the
vice president of the lodge, whose duty it
is TO act in such an exigency. The lodge
waited fifteen minutes. and the vice presi-
dent failed to take any action on the ap-
peal. President Redfern then appointed
tellers and ordered that secret ballot
be taken, whereupon the radical element
left the lodge in body. The radicals
slightly outnumbered the conservatives.
Those remaining in the lodge then voted
unanimously to return to work.
The result of the meeting will undoubted-
~ be a split in the organization of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers in this city The radicals
will undoubtedly claim the charter of the
association, but President Redfern says. as
president OF the lodge he will hold to
the charter the action taken at the
meeting was constitutional.
Trouble Is looked for when the men re-
turn to work tomorrow. 1t is believed
that more than half the members of the
lodge will return to work. Though the
radicals outnumbered the conservatives, 1t
is said that had all remained in the lodge
when the secret ballot was taken that the
vote would have been largely in favor OF
returning to work a number of the radi-
Gals, while openly opposed to returning to
work would have voted on a secret ballot
with the conservatives wing OF the lodge.
Fires had been started at the mills pre-
paratory TO starting tomorrow morning
whether the lodge voted to return or not
This action of the company, it is believed,
was the cause Of the question being set
tied to-day. as the company, it is said, was
prepared to start the mills with nonunion
men.
Those who voted to return TO work are
made up mostly of married men who have
worked at the Bay View mills for many
years, owning their homes and having fam

The Illinois Steel Company, 1t is said,
will continue to pay the same scale as was
agreed upon a week before the strike was
inaugurated. and was, in fact. the scale
presented by the Amalgamated Association,
and which contract was broken when the
men struck work.
1t is likely some of the national officers
will come TO Milwaukee to form new
| lodge, and in the future will not recognize
the old charter. In this event the men
who return to work will continue as a local
association, and will treat with the COM
pany from time to time as such.

sHAFFER MUST END STRIKE,
Or Steel Workers May Seek Work at
Employers Terms.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. S.-If the plans
of President Shaffer were for the execu-
tive board to go to New York and confer
with President Schwab, of the United
States Steel Corporation, tomorrow, those
plans were abandoned. The entire mem
bership of the board was in Pittsburg to-
day. with the exception of Vice Presidents
Morgan, Jenkins and Larkins who went
to their homes for Sunday and who were
expected TO return to Pittsburg tomorrow
morning. President Shaffer was not at
home all day, and it was stated at his house
that il was not known where he was or
when he would return. Those of the ex-
ecutive board who were in the city and
could be seen said they did not know
whether there would be a meeting of the
executive board tomorrow or not If there
was, it was expected that the business be-
fore that body would be finished and the
board would adjourn before night
While the members of the board did not
say so, 1t was intimated by those in close
touch with them that they had plainly told
President Shaffer that a settlement of the
strike was imperative and that he had bet
ter put himself into communication with
President Schwab and have a plain under
standing at once. In other words the ex-
eCutive board of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton were pushing the leader for a settle
also in a semi-official way that possibly
President Shafer was communicating with
President Schwab personally to-day 1t
was believed that he had either gone to
Mr.. Schwab's summer home at Loretto or
else was meeting him in New York Lead
ers are making strenuous efforts to hold the
men in line with the hope that some means
of a settlement will come in few days at
the farthest. If it fails, the men, il is be-
leVed will break away and return to work
as individuals. That would be worse than
the terms that have thus far been offered
by the corporation. At the same time the
delay that has occurred and is still going
on under the terms offered. is telling more
severely than ever against the strikers and
their organization.
While the officials of the Amalgamated
Association were awaiting some report
from their president the strikers about the
mills now being operated by the nonunion
forces gathered by the combine were find
ing little to do. The mills were all closed
down to-day. and preparations were being
made 10 start them on a more extensive
basis tomorrow. The Star mill expects to
operate with an increased force of men.
The Painter mills on the South Side were
preparing to operate double turn for the
first time. The Observation-Disclosures mills
in Allegheny are prepared to start addi-
tional machinery and increase the output
There was no indication of trouble or ex-
element anywhere.
