San Francisco, Sept. ia local
paper says the order of railway conduc-
tors and the brotherhood of railroad
trainmen have been successfully brought
together during the past four months

The organization was secretly perfected

V. Stafford of the Executive Council,
states that the consolidated union will
shortly demand an increase of 20 per
cent in wages. 1t will first make a test
case and if the first road asked agrees to
an increase all other roads will be asked.
If the request is refused it can tie up
every road west of Chicago.

CONVICTED OLE BRIBERY.

Ex-alderman John NJ. King was con-
victed in the Richmond Police Court
yesterday of accepting brides in the mat
ter of awarding contracts for street paw
ing and his punishment fixed at fine OF
500 and confinement in Jail for twelve
months. An appeal was taken, bail be-
ing given in the sum of 81 900 and the
trial fixed for September 90. Capt. Gasser,
a paving contractor, who has done much
of the city's work during the past two
years, was the principal witness. He
ties flied that Mr. King had approached
him and had asked that he be given a
certain. percentage of the sum appropri-
atcd fof street work. This sum was $40,
900, and Mr. King, declared the witness,
wanted 10 per cent. ofit as his share for
having the contract awarded to Gasser
aid two other contractors who had COM
bined with him in doing the work for
the city. The witness said that when
this demand was made he declared that
h could not accede to pit, and that after
ward Mr.. King dropped the figure to
%, 900 and later to 81, 200. The two
other contractors engaged with him in
the city's work were Messrs GUIDE and
Weinburn. 1t was testified that about
$3.50 had actually been paid Mr.. King
by the contractors. Capt. Gasser state |
that he paid this amount to Mr. King il
the latter's office. Asked whether h
had approached King in regard to tn,
matter or whether the alderman In
preached the subject to HIM, the witness
said that Mr.. King had made the PROPOSE
ton, the alderman asserting that he con-
trolled the situation and was able t.
award the contract The fact was brought
out that during the last txo years all
contracts for granite spawls had been
awarded TO Messrs. Gasser, GUIDE AMI
Weinburn. Capt. Gasser was asked if
he had ever had any previous dealing
with Alderman King of similar nature.
The witness replied in the affirmative,
saying that in January, 1902, he hal
paid Mr.. King 500 for contract which
had been awarded to Mr.. Weinbun.
The latter had given the witness the
money 10 pay King, he said.

b. & o. X. II. STOCK.

New York, Sept. 1l.-While there is
no official authority on the subject, it is
understood by the largest bankers in
this city that the Baltimore and Ohio
will soon issue all or part of the COM
mon stock remaining in the treasury,
amounting to somewhat over ST, OOO, 900
in the form of rights to present holders.
1t is known that President Loree has
stated emphatically that even with re-
cent additions to equipment, the road
cannot carry its current business and
further additions Of equipment are need
ed. 1t is much more plausible to believe
that an issue of stock would be for this
purpose rather than to acquire some
Reading stock as recent rumors have
frequently suggested.

where he will make an inspection Of the
principal military posts on the archipel-
ago. The generals party will begin the
journey this morning when the train
leaves for Chicago where short stop

The Navy Department has not yet
been officially advised Of the alleged
grounding of the battleship Iowa near
Cape Nassa, Brazil. If the ship had
sustained any serious mishap it is be-
lieved that Captain Perry, her command
er, would have cabled the department.
The Iowa is one of the largest vessels in
the navy, and it is thought that if she
has really run aground as stated in this
mornings dispatches, her injuries must,
because of her weight, be serious.
The report of the naval board of in
spection and suvey will show that the
battleship Maine just made her contract
speed of Is knots. This information
was today unofficially conveyed to the
Navy Department, although the official
reports on the trial trip will not be made
until next Monday. 1t was not until
recently that the department believed
that the official report on the trial of the
big battleship would reach the speed re-
quired by the contract BY close figur-
ing, however, and making every allow
ance for tides, currents and the drifting
of the stakes marking the termination of
the course, the board has been able
to bring the speed up to the requirement.
Officers who witnessed the test are con-
tident that the Maine is capable of much
better speed than Is knots. The con-
ditions of the trial trip, it is claimed,
were unfavorable to the speed test. The
coal was not as good as it should have
been, the crew was not particularly eff
ficient and the weather unfavorable.
The ship will be accepted by tie gov
eminent without the contractors having
to pay any forfeit.

REDUCTION IN PRICES.

Chicago, Sept, ll.-Relef from the
high prices of the so-called 'beef trust
is the result of grass fed cattle which are
being hurried to market from the west
ern grass country. Already on this
poorer grade of beef the price has drop
ped from 6 to Z cents pound. The
grass-fed cattle are the product Of the
grazing lands solely and have not known
what it is to be fed with corn at sixty
cents bushel. Meat dealers assert the
laborers use the lower grade of beef
almost wholly. The cut in prices means
that ribs and loins, which have sold as
high as Is and 20 cents pound, will
sell for from II to 1t cents. The prices
of hogs has suffered a reduction and
mutton is from to cents cheaper than
a few months ago.

NOCONCEssIONs BY OPERATORS.

Scranton, Pa, September ll.-"The
miners strike will never be settled by
arbitration or any concessions granted
by the operators. The men must go
back to the mines on unconditional
terms. This the operators have made
up their mines to once for all. After
this thing is ended, there will be no
more strikes, for either the operators or
the miners will be the masters OF the
situation, and I think we have the right
to boss our own works" This is the
answer made this morning by an official
of big Nanticoke mine to query as to
the chances of a settlement of the strike.
The rumors of concessions to be made
by the operators which prevailed the
past two days are dissipated today. The
leaders throughout this valley have
given up hope of an Intervention in the
struggle before Christmas. Galleries

said that nearly fifteen hundred tons OF
mined coal were shipped to New York

men went to work unmolested. The

A committee of citizens left here this
morning for Harrisburg, where they will
confer with the Governor in reference to
calling an extra session of the legisla-
ture to pass the compulsory arbitration
law, revoke charters of railroad COM
panies mining coal, stop alleged discrim-
