for q New Trial.

st. Louis, Oct. 6.-Robert M. Sny-
der, the Central Traction bill promo
ter, was convicted of bribery and SEN
fenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. The jury was out for one min
ute less than an hour Saturday night
The man who all week had sat behind
his attorneys and watched the prog
ress of his trial for an offense which
was not denied, but which his counsel
sought to set aside on the question
of residence, thereby invoking the
shield of the statute of limitations,
heard the verdict without a sign Of
emotion. Immediately upon the rem
dering of the verdict the attorneys
for the defense filed motion for a
new trial and Mr.. Snyder was released
on $25, bond.

TRAVELLING INcOGNITo.
Prof. Wycoff, of Princeton University.
Tramping for Work and Living
the Life of q Hobo.

Pueblo, Col, Oct. 5.-Dressed as a
tramp and worn and haggard with a
walk of so miles through storm and
cold, a man whose face belied his
class stumbled into the dispensary
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
before daylight this morning and
begged for medicine to relieve a Sc
we're attack of cramps in the stom-
~ach. His language was a more GER
tain betrayal than his face, and
though he persistenly denied that he
was anything more than common
tramp, letter worn and crumbled
slipped from the pocket of the ragged
overcoat the tramp had thrown over
a chair. 1t was directed to Prof. w.
A. Wyckoff, Princeton, N. j. Wycoff,
seeing that he was fairly caught,
admitted that he had tramped the
state for work and lived the life of a
hobo, slept in box cars and beat his
way about the country. In few
hours he was able to resume his jour-
ney of sociological travel.

DEATH OF FAMOUS SOLDIER.
Gen. Bella M. Hughes Was President OF the
Overland Stage Express Company
In the Early COS.

Denver, Col, Oct. 4.-Gen. Bella M.
Hughes, one of the most noted char
acters in the early history of the
west, died at his home in this city
Friday morning, aged sc. He was
president in the early Cos of the
Overland Stage & Express company,
which operated between the Missou-
ri river and the Pacific coast. He was
also the first president of the Den
yer &, Pacific railroad and was prom
inent in other railroad developments.

prominent jurist. This pursuit he
followed with success at periods

tired. He began his legal career at

MOWED THEM DOWN.
Capt. Pershing's Column Killed
100 Moros in Mindanao.
Forty FORTS In the Vicinity of Macui Were
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. n8cers Believe
Moral Eject of Victory Will
BE Permanent

Manila, Oct. Capt. John j. PERISH
hg's column has completely routed
the Macui Moros, in the island of
Mindanao, killing or wounding 100 of
them and destroying 40 forts. Two
Americans were wounded.
On Tuesday the Moros retired to
their largest and strongest fort on
the Lake store, and Wednesday Capt.
Pershing attacked them with artil-
Iery, bombarding the enemy for three
hours. At noon Lieut.. Loring, lead
ing squad CT men, attempted to set
fire to the fort. He crept under the
walls and started a blaze, but the
Moros discovered him and forced the
Americans to retreat. During the
afternoon the sultan of Cabugalan
led sortie at the head of band Of
fanatics armed with Krises. They
crept through the grass and sprang
up and attacked the Americans. The
sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died.
His followers were killed. In the
darkness Wednesday night Capt.
Pershing took his batteries within
y
infantry lines and resumed the at4
tack. The Moros broke through
twice and attempted to escape by the
beach but were discovered and many
of them were killed. The Moros aban-
doned the fort early on Thursday,
after Is hours bombardment, and
Thursday Capt. Pershing destroyed
the rest of the forts and returned to
Camp Wears. 1t is believed the moral
effect of the death of the Moros will
be great. Gen. Davis has ordered that
hostilities be stayed in order to per-
nit the sultan of Bascaloo and other
hostile sultans to make peace.
The sultans of Macui were conf
dent of their ability to defeat the
Americans and vowed before the fight
to enter slavery voluntarily if they
themselves were defeated. Gen.
Davis has sent Gen. Sumner, in COM
mand of the American forces in Min
danao, a congratulatory cablegram
on the success of Capt. Pershing and
the small American losses.

STRIKE is TO GO ON.
Conference of Warning Sides al
White House Came to Nothing.
UnioDism Was the Rock It Split Upon-Op-
orators Refused Even to Consider Any
Proposition Made by President
John Mitchell

Washington, Oct. 4.-The great
coal conference between the presi-
dent and representatives of the OPP
orators and the miners came to an
end at the temporary white house
yesterday afternoon with a failure
to reach an agreement. Apparently
the rock upon which the conference
split was recognition of the miners
union. The president had urged the
containing parties to cease strife in
the interests of the public welfare;
the miners, through the president
of their union, had expressed will
ingness to submit differences to arbi-
tr alton of a tribunal to be named
by the president and to enter an
agreement to abide by terms fixed
by the arbitration for a period of
from one to five years, and the en-
ployers, through the presidents of
the railroad and coal companies and
leading Independent mine operator,
had squarely refused arbitration,
had denounced the miners labor or
ganization as lawless and anarch-
istic body with which they could
and would have no dealings, had
demanded federal troops to ensure
complete protection to workers and
their families in the mining region
and court proceedings against the
miners union, and had offered, if
the men returned to work, to submit
grievances at individual collieries to
the decision of the judges of the
court of common pleas for the dis
trict of Pennsylvania in which the
colliery was located. There the mat
ter closed. Last night both the min
ers and the operators were still in
the city, but to-day they return to
their several localities, each saying
at late hour that the struggle will
continue.
1t was remarkable chapter in the
economic history of the country that
was written yesterday. For the first
time the president of the republic
had interviewed directly between the
great forces of capital and labor in
an effort to avert what he himself
regarded as great national ca
lamity. The result was to bring the
principals in the great controversy
face to face with the whole country
eagerly intent and watchful of their
doings. Technically the issues be-
tween the two great forces stand
as they did before the president
summoned the representatives of the
contending forces to the national
capital, and, forgetting his own acute
suffering, besought them for love of
the great country wherein they
dwelt and out of pity for the count
less throng of suffering poor, to adj
just their differences and work to-
gether in peace for the common veal.

why He Married a Nexre...

:. The Kansas City Journal notes t.
one of the most interesting men
eastern Kansas is Solomon Moore, q
white farmer ten miles north OF
Leavenworth, who for 40 years has
lived with a negro woman to whom
he was married 40 years ago. Moore
was a union soldier in 1868 and whfle
on foraging expedition in Tennes-
see was observed by rebels and en-
tered house occupied by a negro
family. A young negroes ordered
Moore to crawl underneath her skirt
as she was sitting in a chair, and
when the rebel party entered the
house the family convinced them
that the union soldier had fed.
Moore was so grateful to the woman
that he returned to Tennessee after
the war and was married to her.

live stock three cents per 100 over
the rate to Kansas City on October
10 if Swift & Co. does not give the
railroad fair share of the packing

a complete loss to st. Joseph of all

to the Santa Fe. Three cents per 100
would amount to about 81 per car.
