Chicago, Sept. flames j. Hill,

Chicago confering with President
Harris of the Burlington and with
other railroad men and financiers.
Mr.. Hill said there were no radical
plans for the merger of the three
systems, Burlington, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, but that the
properties would be operated con-
servatively and economically in the
way to produce the greatest revenue.
There is little doubt that the three
lines will soon be put under q traffic

lowed by the Southern Pacific, Union.

Mr.. Hill said he was not fighting
the Hartman people and that all re
cent reports about extensions Of the
Great Northern into Nebraska and
Kansas were rubbish, the Burlington

sive system Of roads through the
states named and extends by the
Great Northern would be antagonstic
to a system under the same owner

CONSTITUTION TOO CRATIC
Challenge Committee Make Final
Decision After Considering
All Points,.

Newport, Sept. 5-Columbia, cham
pion of 1899, has been chosen to race
against Shamrock II, in defense Of
the Americas cup. This decision was
reached today after a conference last
ing two hours between the members
of the challenger committee. All the
members were present. Commodore
Lears Cass Ledyard, presided. The
discussion was exhaustive. The
points of the two boats were gone
owe Systematically and critically
compared. The conclusion was that
the behavior of Columbia was far
more consistent than that of Consti-
tuition and that under the circum-
stances, there was no alternative but
to name her as the defender of the
cup. 1t was held that while the de-
cision may be disappointing to the
syndicate which owns Constitution,
the. committee was compelled to
choose the Columbia, whose races
have shown none of the cratic form
manifested by her rival. The formal
announcement of the selection of Co.
lumbia was posted at the club short
" after IL O'Clock. It read as fol-
lows:
"At a netting of the committee on
challenge of the royal Uuster Yacht
club, held on the flagship at 1880 a..

Texarkana, Ark, Sept. Six men
who robbed the Cotton Belt train at
Eylau Tuesday night are still at large.
The bloodhounds that were taken
to the scene of the robbery were of no
service, as the trail was dead. The
trail of the robbers, however, was
struck by W. H. Ward, a Texarkana
newspaper man, and member of the
sheriff's posse.
Ward vas accompanied by Yard
master Taylor of the Cotton Belt road.
The men discovered where a horse
had been hid al the company's
fence and where a bag of booty is
supposed to have been loaded. 1t re-
CURED the efforts of two men to carry
this bag from the expires car to the
engine. Ward and Taylor with a
lantern, followed the trail several
hundred yards and found where six
horses had been tied. For several
miles they followed a blind trail until

When they reported, the entire
posse returned here and the trail was
abandoned. One of the horses known
to have been used by the robbers was
found by Ward and Taylor, it being
the property of a negro. From this
horse the first start toward capture

implicated, was made.
News reached here tonight that the
agent at Redwater, seven miles below
the scene of the robbery, shot a man,

with officers who are running down

ing Places Jefferson Is
Saved.

Milwaukee, Sept. 5-A Sentinel
special from Jefferson, Wis, says: A
fire which broke out in the plant of
the Wisconsin Manufacturing COM
pany, manufacturers of chairs and
other furniture today, and threatened
to destroy the whole town was sub
dued this evening with a loss aggre-
eating between $4,000 and 100000,
which is only partially covered by in
surance.
The Wisconsin Manufacturing COM
pany's loss is estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000; insurance 50, 500.
Other losses are: st. Mary's Episco-
pal church, $4,000; Gottlieb Bros, $5,-
900; VIM. Rockrop, $500; o. J.. Kersh-
enstein, 5000. Frank Weaver, John
Roessler, Charles Zohloer, Charles
Schweiner and F. L. Reinel suffered
smaller losses.
The fire started in the second
story of the Wisconsin Manufactur-
ing cOmpanyS plant n soon Quilted
that property. Fire brands carried
by a strong southwest wind were
blown to other parts Of the city and
started many smaller blazes.
Citizens were panic stricken and
help was summoned from Johnson's
Creek, Fort Atkinson, Watertown and
GAINESVILLE. Visiting fire companies
soon subdued the small fires and the
rest of the afternoon was devoted to
protecting other plants. Hundreds OF
citizens moved their household goods
to places of safety.
The Prenzlow Lumber company and
Standard Oil property had narrow es-
capes from destruction.

VIZ submitted yesterday at the confer

them conditions upon which they

their opinion that the proposed terms

Mitchell declined to make public
the proposition made to the Steel
corporation or whether the limit for
the acceptance of the latter's PROPOSE
ton had been extended.
When asked if conference would

could say nothing more and would not

IN SECRET SESSION MANY
HOURS ARE SPENT.
CONSIDERING PEACE PLAN
If Strike Has Not Been Settled Be-
lief Prevails That Is Sure
1y Will Be.

Pittsburg, Sept. 5-The prevailing
opinion in Pittsburg is that the great
steel strike is practically settled, but
absolutely nothing positive can be
learned from either side to the con-
troversy.
The day was spent by the Amalga-
mated advisory board in a secret
meeting behind doors that were guard
ed closer than ever before. The news
paper dead line was drawn most
effectually. When final adjournment
for the day came at about Z p. NJ, all
who had been inside headquarters re-
fused to say a word in answer to in
sistent questions, and no one volun-
teered a statement. When the meet
ing was over it was learned for the
first time that President Shaffer had
not been with his colleagues during
the afternoon session, and his where
aouts up to II O'Clock tonight are
unknown. Secretary Williams also
disappeared shortly after adjourn
ment, and he, too, cannot be located.
1t is the belief of those who are
familiar with the strike proceedings
throughout, that the two gentlemen
have started on another unannounced
and mysterious visit to New York
City. 1t is believed that the morning
session of the advisory board must
have decided upon a plan by which
President Shaffer could go to New
York and complete the arrangements
for peace, which it is supposed were
started by the conference yesterday
between the Steel magnates and pres
idents of the several trade unions.
The only approach to a statement
of the condition of affairs was made
by Trustee John Pierce today, who
said it was impossible to accept the
proposition made by the United
States Steel corporation, as by doing
so, some of the members of the Anal
6d1A0CCu dSoOS1dIlOu WOulu Sul1Sl. #
1T would be unjust to our mem
bers," said Pierce, "to accept such
terms. We have made no counter
proposition and still insist on terms
made and are willing to arbitrate diff
f%erences. The committee that visit
ed President Schwab had no author
ity from the Amalgamated associa-
ton to settle the dispute. The mem
bers were acting on their own re-
sponsibility. The strike is in the
same position today as it was before
the conference vas held in New York
yesterday. The local situation is
practically unchanged but it is in bet
ter shape than it was last week. We
have made some gains and are still
confident that we will win. It will
be impossible for the corporation to
operate it's plants satisfactory with
out the aid of the Amalgamated asso-
citation men"
Pierce would not say that all ne
gotiations had been broken off, and his
intimation that the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION is willing to arbitrate diff
ferences would indicate that all ef-
forts for peace have not been aban-
doned. Aside from the mysterious
conference there was nothing much
gOf a startling nature transpired in
the strike, in this city.

Low said yesterday that there might be certain
deserving measures introduced at Albany next win
ter amend the present tenement house law

recommend he could not say now, but added:
II am open to any suggestions which any one
has to offer respecting the tenement house law A
statute which covers many problems and which
affects such wide interests. does the tenement
house law. could hardly reach perfection at one
session of the legislature. I have doubt
that some changes can be made which would i'm
prove the statute.
Mr.. De Forest said that he had decided not to ap-
point a private secretary for some time at least.
There have been too many private secretaries
under the present administration he added. II
have a secretary Of my own now. who will do the
necessary work" Mr. De Forest also said that he
