Protest Against the Piece Work
System Recently Put Into Effect
by Officials of Road.

Omaha, Aug. 19.-Two hundred car
men, including carpenters, coach build
ers and painters, employed in the
Union Pacific shops in this city, nnex-
pectedly went on strike during the
day. The strike is a protest against
the piecework system and the leaders
say that all the carmen on the system
will be asked to quit work.
The action of the carmen was decid-
ed on at a meeting held Sunday but
their action was kept secret until they
walked out.
Some time ago the carmen conclud-
ed an agreement with the Union Pa
cific road, which included what was
known as the premium scale" and
which put the men on piece basis.
The understanding was that no man
was to receive less than his time would
amount to at the regular hour wage
scale, and would have premium for
extra work accomplished over a GER

GUESTS OF KING EDWARD.
Shah Of Persia and Suite Arrive in
60 London.


London, Aug. 19.-The shah of Per-
sia, Muzaffar-ed-din, and his suite
reached London during the day and
took up their residence at Marlbor-
ough House as guests of King Edward.
In accordance with the Persian mon
arch's express wish the train from Do
'ver only travelled twenty miles an
hour. He therefore had plenty of time
to array himself in full state uniform
and when he left the train at Victoria
station he was resplendent in a blaze
of diamonds. On his tarboosh (cap)
huge diamond stood out like head
light, his epaulettes were adorned with
large emeralds and his breast was COW
cred with jewels of all kinds. The
gems worn by the members of the
shah's suite were only little less rich
than those of his majesty. The Prince
of Wales, Lord Lansdowne, the for
eign minister; Lord Roberts, the COM
mander-in.chief, and the members of
the Persian legation and others met
the royal traveller at the station. The
Prince of Wales and the shah shook
hands and the visitor was introduced
to the prominent persons present. The
Prince of Wales subsequently conduct
ed the shah to royal carriage and
they drove off, escorted by detach-
ment of Life Guards and followed by
other carriages. The route to Marl-
borough House was lined with troops.
The weather was miserable so the
sightseers were not numerous.

LITTLE CHANGE in RATES.
Provisions Of the New Tariff Laws Of

.FIOVlSIOHS VI IHG NEW dTiH Laws OF
China. @ 5,5
Washington, Aug. The new tar
AZ, which was signed by Mr.. T.. B.
Sharretts, the United States commits,
sioner for tariff revision in China, and
by the representa- Of six other ma
tons, changes the present ad valorem
tariff of China to specific rates. This
is in accordance with the protocol.
The specific rate agreed upon is based
upon the average value Of products i'm
ported into China during the past
twenty years. Under the terms Of the
protocol the changes from specific to
ad valorem rates does not need the
signature of China. The change will,
no doubt, make some slight difference
in the rates of duty but is not regarded
as a revision of the tariff to any gener-
al extent. It is expected that in a
commercial treaty the tariff will be
changed to a considerable extent. The
commissions on the part of the Unit
ed States to negotiate this treaty are
Minister Conger, Consul General Good
now, at Shanghai. and Mr.. Felly. The
treaty which they negotiate, it is ex-
pected. will be completed within q

Generally Agreed That President
IS Schwab Must Retire.
4 New York, Aug. 19.-The retirement
of Charles M. Schwab from the presi-
dency of the United States Steel cor
poration is now commonly accepted as
determined upon, Notwithstanding re
cent official denials and present re-
luctance in official quarters to confirm
the report. President Schwab's i'm
paired health is the reason for this ac-
ton. In well informed quarters it is
believed that his retirement will be
followed by extensive changes in the
membership of the organization. The
succession to the presidency is a mat
ter of surmise only and If it has been
decided no information can be had on
the subject. But there are many posi-.
tions of Importance in the United
States Steel corporation now held by
persons who are there on account of
personal ties with Mr.. Schwab and
who remained with the corporation
from a devotion to his interests, grow
ing from former association in the Car
negie company.
It has been reported that the presi-y
dency would pass to James Gayley, the
first vice president of the corporation.
Other rumors have pointed to H. G.
Frick. %

err Striking Linemen.

New Orleans, Aug. 19.-In it's pati-
tion for "a blanket injunction against
the striking linemen the Cumberland
Telephone company charges that a
conspiracy has been formed against
them to prevent them from operating
their service in this city. In addition
to alleging that the union men are
picketing the railroad depots, persuad
ing new men from taking service with
the company and stoning those who are
already at work, it charges that the
strikers are crossing the telephone
wires throughout the city with the
high tension wires of other companies
and thus burning up the lines of the
company and putting them out of busi-
ness. The company claims that all its
plans for extension Of it's lines in New
Orleans promise to be brought to a
standstill by the action of the strikers.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 19.-When Gen
eral r. A. Alger, former secretary Of
war, was asked if he was ready to an
nounce his candidacy for the United
States senate to succeed the late
James Mcmillan, he said:
Upon mature consideration I have
decided to consider the matter few
days longer before arriving at deter
mination. 1 shall reach a decision
some time this week."
This is taken to mean that General
Alger may not be candidate after all.
The News says: ,,t.
IF his health permits William c.
Mcmillan will be candidate for
United States senator to succeed his
father. This statement is practically
authoritative. although he has told
some of his closest personal and polit-
ical friends that he wishes to hold the
matter in allegiance for a short time. =

liberty and for the sisters.
At st. Meens the sisters were ex'
PEELED and the school was closed after

EXCITEMENT IN BLACK HILLS.
Lost Cabin Gold Mine Said to Have
Been Rediscovered. -

Douglas, Wyo., Aug. 19.-Word has
reached here of the rediscovery of the
famous Lost Cabin gold mine in the
mountainous district bordering the
Black Hills, northeast of here, and sew
eral hundred prospectors started at
once for that country. The town is al
most deserted, as every man who could
secure an outfit has joined the STAN
pede.
The Lost Cabin mine was located in
1869. and was reported to be fabulous
ly rich in free gold. The owners came
out once to old Fort Fetterman for
supplies, but refused to give any infor-
nation as to the exact location of the
property. They were never heard
from afterward, and are supposed to
have been killed by Indians, as the
Sioux overrun the country at that time.
Hundreds have searched for the mine
since, but without success.
