ST. Paul, March 21.-Three hundred
Great Northern passengers from
points west of the eastern Montana
line, twenty tons of mail matter and
car after car of baggage matter, all
snow bound in North Dakota since last
Friday, reached st. Paul last night,
breaking the blockade which lasted
15Ola hours. Passengers who came told
stories of old time frontier privations.
They were on the first eastbound over
land train snowbound and they were
caught at Stanley station which con-
sists of sidetrack and cattle yard.
From Thursday night until Monday
morning the passengers were hardly
able to leave the train. A blizzard
ragged and no food was to be had. eX-
cept the limited quantity on the din

empty mail pouches and going forward
over drifts, filled them from the tender
of the engine. They returned with the
supply of fuel after hard fight against
the storm in which both were badly
frost bitten. Monday the snow plows
reached the train and 1t was sent west
to Williston where local accommoda-
tions were available and food plenty.
The incoming passengers reported
snow drifts at-Stanley thirty-five feet
high In other places the big rotary
plows left veritable snow tunnels
where the worst drifts had been. Great
difficulty was experienced in clearing
the tracks because the sand was gath
cred up from the level plains by the
wind and mixed with the snow. This
dulled the knives of the rotary plows,
making constant repairs necessary.
The sleet was intermixed with the
snow and when the storm subsided the
drifts were covered with thick coating
of ice which made it possible to walk
on them. but greatly retarded the work
of clearing them away.

NOW UP TO THE EMPLOYERS.
Demands Agreed Upon by tho United
Mine Workers.

ShamOkin, Pa. March 21.-Ihe most
important feature of yesterdays ses-
sion of the convention of Districts Nos.
/. Z and 9, United Mine Workers of
America, was the adoption of the after
noon session of several resolutions. The
first resolution adopted demanded an
eight hour work day In all the colleries
o. the anthracite region. Others were
adopted as follows: Demanding the
recognition of mine committees by OPP
orators in the adjustment OF disputes
resulting in local strikes; declaring op-
position to working with men not mem
hers of the Mine Workers Union; fa-
voring arbitration of trade disputes:
condemning the system of blacklisting
by companies of discharged employees.
The third days session began
promptly at o'clock, the business be-
ing transacted behind closed doors. AL
tho the scale committee has devoted
most of the time since their appoint-
ment Wednesday to arranging wage
scale that will prove satisfactory to all
the delegates, their report was not
ready when President Mitchell called
the convention to order. Mr.. Mitchell
said the scale committee would proba
hly not present their conclusions until
today, and that he looked for an early
adjournment. The committee on reso
lutions can not submit a report until
the scale is arranged. The published
statements that the replies of all the
operators to President Mitchell's re-
quest for conference might be con-
strued as virtual recognition of the
Mine Workers Union Mr.. Mitchell re-
CARDS as incorrect. Referring to the
letters of the presidents of the operat-
ing companies, Mr.. Mitchell said: I'VE
do not regard them as a recognition in
any degree" Nothing of Importance
developed at the morning session.
Neither the scale committee nor the
committee on resolutions have reported.
Thomas Barnett and James Mullahy,
of Willesbarre. state president and
secretary, respectively, of the Firemen's
Union arrived here Yesterday to appear
before the convention in behalf of the
mine fremen. They desire the CO.
operation of the United Mine Workers
in their efforts to secure an eight-hour
working day The firemen are not af-
filiated with the mine workers.

discussed At Cabinet Meeting.

washington, March 21.-At the cabi-
net meeting today the publications re-
lating to the statements made by Gen.
Miles before the senate committee yes
terday were brought up. Consideration
of them was postponed until all the
facts in the matter became known.
Whatever intention the president had
with respect to the treatment to be ac-
corded Miles, his future action will be
somewhat influenced by the fact that
Miles statement before the committee
had been represented to him as being
privileged. The president is known to
have stated that he 10 tired of the fric-
ton in the army, and in the event it is
decided Miles statement was not a
privileged one he will at distant day
take action looking to his retirement.
The president proposes to read the tes-
timony given at the hearing and to con-
suit with different members of the
committee on military affairs before
finally announcing what he proposes to
do. It is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary
Root and the attorney general were
closeted with the president.

gave vent to her emotions. Thomas
Fife father of the young man, declzred
in open court the verdict was in ac-
cordance with his expectations, and
that he had known from the start that
his son had nothing to do with the
murder of Richardson. Young Fife him.
self was so overcome he could not
speak. Altho Judge Burns, preliminary
to the rendering of the verdict, issued
an order against any demonstration, it
was found impossible to preserve abso-
Lutte quiet. This is the second trial in
the Richardson murder, Mrs. Richard
son, the widow, having been acquitted
only few weeks ago, and still the
mystery of Frank Richardson's sensa-
tional murder is unsolved. No other
indictments are pending and the Incl

the courts are concerned. Fife is a
member of an aristocratic, wealthy

overioyed to see that the time is fast
approaching when our grand old party
will shake off the dreadful dreams that
have afflicted it, and fight again as or
old the glorious battles of pure democ-
racy." Mr. Bryan in his rejoinder says
in part:
TO understand what he (ClevelanD
considers dreadful dreams and what he
regards as pure democracy, we must
recall his last administration.
For four years he stood between the
people and reform; for four years he
made the white house the rendezvous of
cunning and crafty representatives of
predatory wealth: for four years the
corporations and syndicates controlled
his administration and forced him to
veto democratic measures and sign re-
publican measures.
He refused to give his sanction to
the most important measures supported
by the democrats and bent all his ener-
gies toward securing legislation desired
by the republicans. even when he knew
that he would divide his party by do
ing so.
HE was charged with betrayal Of
his trust, with turning the party or
ganization over to Wall street and with
using the patronage at his disposal to
punish loyal democrats and to reward
recreant ones. The charge was pre-
ferred before the rank and file of the
largest jury that ever sat upon a case;

MAY DISCIPLINE MILES.
War Department Much Interested in
His Statements to Military Commit

His Statements to Military Commit
tee.
washington, March 21.-The news of
Gen. Miles statements before the mill
tary committee of the senate excited
great interest at the war department
when i. became known there late yes
terday. There was q very general in
quiry as to whether by passing the
criticisms upon various afficials, as re-
ported in the press, Gen. Miles had not
exposed himself to disciplinary treat
ment. The answer to this must be based
on the exact amount Of privilege which
attaches to testimony given before
committee of congress.
This question arose last week in the
course of Gen. Hughes testimony be-
fore the senate Philippine committee
when the general sought to escape an
swering questions which would involve
criticism by him Of his superior officer
Gen. Otis. 1t appeared that there was
a variance of opinion in the commit
tee itself as to how far Gen. Hughes
was at liberty to violate army rules and
proprieties even in answer to commit
tee questions and the question itself
was left unsettled.
While Gen. Miles did not expect
when he made his testimony that II
would be made public in any form, he
is now willing that 1t shall be pub
lished by the committee, making him.
self the broad statement that the state
ments which were given to the press as
those made by himself before the COM
mittee were Misrepresentation, and
totally unwarranted.
The omission by the president of his
usual ride yesterday afternoon, and the
fact that he and Secretary Root were in
conference for nearly four hours, led to
the supposition that they were discus-
sing Gen. Miles testimony. This, how
ever, was an erroneous conclusion. for
they were talking about an army regu-
lation, and the secretary was unaware
Of the testimony until he returned to
the war department very late in the
afternoon.
Secretary Root exhibited little feel
ing when his attention was called to
the proceedings before the committee.
He remarked quietly that he was very
sorry Lieut.. Gen. Biles opposed this
bill.
He pointed out that under section Z,
of which Gen. Miles complained, the
lieutenant general would have greatly
enlarged powers in army management,
instead Of being restricted In his func-
tions. as he supposed.
AS to the question whether Gen.
Miles had said anything which would
require action at the hands of the de-
partment or the president, the secree
tary firmly declined to express any
opinion. for the present at least, pre-
ferring to await an official copy of the
committee proceedings before reaching
any decision.

NO DEMAND ON TURKEY.
State Department Has Merely Filed
Cayeats in Stone Case


Caveats in Stone Case.
Washington, March 21.-The persis-
tent circulation of reports that the
state department has made demand
upon Turkey for reimbursement of
the expended ransom Of Miss Stone is
causing a good deal of annoyance to
officials of that department.
1t can be stated as fact that the
state department has made no such
demand on Turkey and consequently
the Turkish government has not fatty
refused to pay. AS already stated.
Mr.. Leishman some time ago lodged
caveats with the Turkish and Bull
garian governments, saving the right
of the United States government to
prefer demand for reparation and re-
endorsement in the Stone case when
1t was able to fix the responsibility for
the abduction.
Up to this time the official reports
from Minister Leishman, supplemented
by verbal reports from Spencer Eddy,
have not put the state department. in
possession of sufficient facts to deter
mine this question of responsibility.

cRoPsEY ARGUMENTS ENDED.
State Urges Girl Was Murdered-Jury
Gets Case Today.

Elizabeth City, N. c.. March 21.-
Solicitor George Ward spoke for the
state yesterday morning at the trial Of
James Wilcox. charged with the rnllr~
der of Belle Cropsey. He contended
that the evidence of the doctors
against drowning was conclusive. He
reviewed the testimony of the medical
men and asserted that the girl was
murdered and the Wilcox was guilty
as charged. He said Wilcox had
grown bitter at the repulses he had re-
ceived from Miss Cropsey, and that
he had made up his mind to win her
back or kill her.
The argument was closed by E. F.
Aydlett, counsel for the defense. He
declared there was proof that the girl
was not drowned. If, however, she
was killed, he contended. the defend
ant had nothing to do with it. He
had neither the motive nor the oppor-
tunity.
Judge Jones will charge the jury to-
day.
