Packing house teamsters at Chicago,
renewed their fight against the stock
yards concerns, Wednesday night. at a
meeting of the union. 1t is the avowed
intention to order a strike by the 600
drivers employed by Swift & Co, and
a struggle which may reach the dimen-
sions of the strike three months ago is
sail to be one of the probabilities of the
near future. The trouble is the result
of the alleged refusal of Swift & Co 70

Let no one doubt that music hath charms to still the savage breast. The Hartford Courant gives verbatim the impression of a pugilist who had just been listening to q symphony concert T coughed up a plunk and q half ter git at der ringside in dere, and de best dey could do was ter trot out about 100 dagoes wid fiddles. Gee, but we'en dey begun ter tune mp fought de Law and Order league 'ud stop de game right dere. But dey didn't do a ting. Dey kep' right on fghtin' till de ref cree cum out and started de scrap right, an den everybody roun' me shut der eyes as if dey was 'fraid ter see what was on. I watched dat referee like yer would de man yer bought yer oil stock of, and he was certainly fine and dandy. Every time he move dat stick dere was somethin' doin'. He pointed it over to de goilS and de fid- dleS dey just sung d love song dat re minded me of spring days aroun' de trainin' quarters, and everybody work in. Den dem ugly lookin' t'ings some b'dy says was hoboes begun ter growl an knew der was a kick comin' Dis developed into a good sized riot over i'll de brass drum corner, an every scrap 1 per Ill de bunch just tried to see how much trouble he could make for de referee. Say, dat lasted five minutes an it looked like easy money for de ! Dig brass horns, wen dat referee dis 1 qualified de whole bunch. Den a lit- tie whistle over in de back row got d hunch on an played a tune dat would ave made Joe Walcott weep. Say, de hull bunch roun' me was workin' de mooshaw ter beat Sousa Den every l fiddle in the bunch took up dat tune 1 every time dey git chance. an it seem as dough dey fought dey could play it better den de odder feller. An l wen one set of fellers- play it. de odder 1 fellers dey do q lot of kickn' on de l side. Dey kep' dis up four roun's an 1 it lasted morn an hour. After de third roun' l says ter a guy nex' me

Those opposed 1o ''one-from- -a-town,' the s'one-and-slXty men and the delegates from places or over 10000 will all have meetings, ana the conferences will be going forward simultaneously. In the convention yesterday afternoon Delegate Perry or Fairfield read the following:
 '.To the Hon John H. Perry, Delegate
 from Fairfield:
 S.Sir: It is believed that many dele gates in the constitutional convention from the country towns are opposed to the plan that shall restrict each town to one representative in the house Of representatives. We therefore respect fully request you to call together such delegates from the country towns for conference upon the subject"
 The above was signed by fifty-three delegates from the smaller towns Delegate Perry then read the follow ing:
 Pursuant to the above request a conference of the delegates from the country towns who are opposed to the plan of one representative from each town is hereby called, to take place in room GO at the Capitol on Tuesday morning next, March II, at II o'clock.

IMMENSE IRON ORE BEDS.
Northern New York Discovery { Very Important One.

Northern New York Discovery a
 Very Important One.
 PLATTSBU URG, N. Y, March 7.- The Chateaugay Ore and Iron compa- ny has recently discovered that the vein of iron ore at their mines near Lyon Mountain, \. Y., which was SUD- posed to be thirty feet in thickness, is in reality over seventy feet and ex- tends for six miles in northeaSterly and southwesterly direction from Lyon Mountain, making it one of the largest deposits of iron ore in the world. The company has increased it's capital stock from $1, 100000 to $2,75O,000, of which amount the Delaware and Hudson company owns $1,40O,O0O, controlling interest
 The company has hurried force of several hundred men into its forests to get out a.supply of wood for charcoal. The charcoal blast furnace at Standish will be rebuilt, with an annual capac ity of 25,O00 tons of charcoal pig iron. Fifty new brick charcoal kilnS will be built. The company is now mining about 300 tons of ore per day, and this output will be doubled under the new arrangement. 1p
 The officers of the company are: Smith NJ. Weed, president; Talbot Oly- phant, vice president and treasurer; James N. Slower, general manager.

The company is a large one and is costumed very prettily. The scenic arrangements, particularly the second act, are very swell and attrac- tive. There were some good songs and few fair choruses. Daly was not decided success as an entertainer nor as a singer He did make a hit in his pretended champagne drinking scene and in one of his songs, but aside from that there was nothing to the performance to cause a person to enthuse more than at any ordinary show. A few of the company are clever, but the entertainment as a whole would not meet with much pat ronage in this city again

AN INDEMNITY HlICh
Division of Chinese Payment
 Still Unsettled.
OFFICIALS OF POWERS CANNOT AGREE
Actions of General Tung Flu Hsiang Causing Excitement at the Court, He Has Refused to Disband
 His Troops.

PEKING, March 7.-Chinese officials fear that the refusal of the bankers commission to accept the February iIl- stallment of the indemnity will render the collection of future installments more difficult. Sir Robert Hart, direct or of the imperial maritime customs, used every argument of persuasion to impress the yiceroys of the various provinces with the importance of promptly contributing their shares of the indemnity When it becomes known that the 1,S20, 900 taels of the February installment is lying in the Chinese bank because the foreign governments are unable to agree to terms concerning it's division, the Chinese will possibly re- lax their efforts.
 The actions of General Tung Flu Hsiang are causing excitement and ap- prehension at the imperial court. Tung Flu Hsiang has a considerable body of troops. The dowager empress, through Yung Lu, the first grand secretary, re- gently wrote to the general offering to maintain him comfortably ii he would disband his followers. This Tung Flu Hsiang refused to do, intimating that he felt safer with his army around him.
 The court fears that when his re- sources fail Tung Flu Hsiang may be compelled to resort to pillage ill order to support his followers and that this would eventually lead to rebellion.
 The French legation here resents the dispatches blaming the French for the disorders of Marshal Su's troops in Kwangsi province. The legation de- clares it protested against the transfer of Marshal Su and predicted that the present disorders would result. The re- instatement of Marshal Su in his old command is due to the request of the French legation.

ALICE HAY ENGAGED,

formal announcement of the en. gagement of Miss Alice Hay to James oN oNadsworth, Jr. is expected from the Secretary of State and Mrs Hay t Easter. The enga cement, their friends say. has existed for a year. It ante dated that of Miss Helen Hay to Payne Whitney, but in accordance with the wishes of the young people no announcem ent has been made. as they wished no publicity until the date for their marriage should have been agreed on
 At one time a double marriage was talked of. but it was abandoned be- cause Mir Whitney wished to be married before MT Wadsworth could we'll make arrangements to this end for himself. It is understood that Miss Hays mar riage to Mir Wadsworth will. like that of her sister. take place at the church of the Covenant. and that there will be 2 large wedding party and a splendid breakfast to follow at the Hay resi- dence on Lafayette square, It is also expected that Mir and Mrs Payne Whitney will not sail for Europe until after this event. The departure of Miss -Alice Hay for the south with the Griscoms has no bearing on her en, gagement.
 The wedding of Miss Alice Hay to Jimmy Wadsworth will be like that of her sister, Helen. to Payne Whitney. q distinctively Yale affair Jimmy Wads worth and Payne Whitney were class mates at Yale. Both were members of the class of '98. to which also the late Adelbert s. Hay, brother of the Misses Alice and Helen Hay belonged. Jim
 my Wadsworth was first baseman ou the last Yale base ball nine to win ar Intercollegiate championship.

Ht was like Payne Whitney, member oi the Senior society, Skull and Bones. II 1888. Since his graduation three year: ago he has been his fathers executive secretary in Washington It is under stood that the formation of the at tachment between young Mir Wads worth and Miss Alice Hay dates iron the Yale junior promenade of the clas of '98. which also marked the begin ming of the attachment of Payne Whit pey and Mas Helen Hay.
