Northwestern Railway Merger May
Have Deep and Eitai
Significance.
Heads Of Organizations Lunch With
the President-Enorrous Labor
Interests Involved - Trainmen
Greatly Disturbed Over the Mer-
ger and Predict General Shading
of Wages Unless II Is Prevented.
Especial Correspondence


WASHINGTON. Jan. II. = The
northwestern railway merger may
have a deep and vital significance for
organized labor Monopoly is almost
always inimical TO labor. Reduce the
number of employers in any impor
tant line OF business. and wages and
tenure of service are directly affected
The Northern Securities company is.
for the labor world a monopoly. and
it is evident that the locomotive en-
gneers, firemen. conductors. switch
men. telegraphers and trainmen gen
orally have nothing TO gain as the
result of its continuance.
The heads of the great rail
way labor organization launched
by appointment with the Presi-
dent yesterday, and the confer
ence which followed lasted until after
3 o'clock The Attorney General of
the United States was present. and
the Secretary of Agriculture The
conference may be very important
Should government supervision be
come the policy of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration; should the president
continue TO advocate increased power
for the interstate commerce commits
sion. which is one form of govern
nent supervision: yesterdays lunch
and conference will be looked back
on as marking the beginning of CO
operation between the administration
and organized labor in order to bring
these things about.
Those who say they know the pur-
pose Ct yesterdays conference claim
that the President who for weeks has
been studying the northwestern rail
way merger from the view point Of
the statutes said to be involved. the
probable effect of the merger on rates,
and the determinations which it NAV
make possible. at last reached the
position where he wanted to study il
from the view point of the enormous
labor interests which are involved
He wanted to know whether the mer-
ger, in the opinion of the heads OF
the great railway brotherhoods. was
10 be regarded as a menace to labor.
Back of the conference is the fact.
now we'll established. that the train
men and employees generally OF the
Northern Pacific railway are greatly
disturbed over the merger. and pre-
dict that unless it can be prevented.
there will be a general shading Of
wages. 10 correspond with existing
schedules and practices of the Great
Northern Railway.
II may be stated with authority
that the Attorney General feels that
the time is rapidly coming when there
must be government supervision of
railroads. and that ne already favors
this as solution OF the railway prob
lem. The President in his message
advocated enlarged powers for inter
state commerce commission. and he.
too. thinks, that government supervis-
ion in some form must be tbs ultimate
result. il railway combinations are
10 continu TIE argument for SUI
pervssion is the protection OF the in
dividual. whether shipper or employe.

ISPEcIAL CoEREsroNpEycEl

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. IL
The action OF the Secretary OF War
in going before the House Military
Affairs Committee this week and aG-
vOcating the adjustment Of the gov
ernment transport service across The
Pacific on account OF its great *
pense. was something Of a surprise
although It was known that Mr. Roo;
did not favor the continuance q ne
transports.
The Secretary Of War asks that
Congress authorize the War Depart
ment TO make a contract with a pri-
vate company 70 carry its supplies
and men to and from San Francisco.
This will result in the establishment
Of a commercial steamship line be
tween San Francisco and Manila BY
way Of Hawaii and will therefore give
Hawaii an additional mail freight
and passenger service.
The first supposition was that this
new contract might 90 TO the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, but il nov
appears that the Faoifc Coast Com
pany. a corporation owned by New
York and Boston capitalists. viii
make a fight for the contract. and
that this company has a better snow
of success than has the Pacific Mail
Company.
The Pacific Coast Company already
operates several lines Of steamers on
the Coast. and it also operates rail-
roads and coal mines. The claim IS
made that this company is in posi-
non to put its steamers on the san
Francisco Honolulu-Manila line IS
soon as the contract shall have been
awarded

BREAK IN THE STRIKE.
Freight Handlers Make Agreements
with RailrOnik in Chicago
to Resume Work,

Chicago, July 16.-The great freight
tie-up has been broken, but not otfi-
cially called off by the unions. Mayor
Harrison, reused by business mems
threat to ask for military protection
for teamsters, has called conference
in his office for II o'clock to-day in
hope of bringing about full settle
ment. Railroad men, business men
and union representatives have been
invited to attend.
The chief of police admitted his in
ability to protect any large number
of teams and the merchants said they
were determined to split the deadlock
and take their goods to the roads that
are ready to handle freight.
Agreements were reached Tuesday
between four railroads and their en-
ployes, and the strike of the freight
handlers and teamsters that has par
alyzed the industries of the city for
week practically came to an end. A
majority of the strikers probably will
return to work to-day, and by Thurs
day there will be few evidences of the
extensive struggle. Some of the more
radical unionists may refuse to ac-
cept the terms accepted by represent
ative committees, but they will be able
to WELD little influence with their fell
lows.
While these sympt oms, hopeful of
peace in the labor troubles of the city,
were being exhibited, President Cur
ran, of the freight handlers, was in
spired with new courage to declare
these various settlements unwarrant-
ed. He announced that none OF the
committees was authorized to accept
these agreements, and that the men
would not return to work.
The four railroads that entered into
agreements with their men are: Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, Chicago
& Northwestern, Nickel Plate and IL
linois Central. The Northwestern and
the Illinois Central accepted the prop
osition made upon advice of the team
sters' board of arbitration and the
Nickel Plate and Lake Shore forced
their men TO sign the scale presented
by the railroads July 1.
Consequently neither the freight
handlers nor the railroads can claim
the victory. AS the employees of the
Lake Shore were the first to sign. how
ever, the railroad managers express
the greatest satisfaction over the
break in the strike.
They have forced the freight hand
lers to return to work without having
obtained recognition for their union
or time and a half for overtime or
the abolishment of the probation
period. On the other hand. the freight
handlers have obtained increases in
pay, the smallest increase being 25
cents day given to the truckers.

EXPLAINED BY BRAGG.
fed by Consul Gencrnl-Snys Stnte-
ment Was Unwnrrnntcd.

Havana, July 16.-Consul General
Bragg says the publication of an al
legged statement by him in letter to
his wife that "Uncle Sam might as we'll
try to make whistle out of pigs
tail as to try to do anything with the
Cubans," was wholly unwarranted.
He has telegraphed to the state de-
partment that he was not accurately
quoted.
What Gen. Bragg said was that when
Uncle Sam got through trying to make
a whistle of a pigs tail he would re-
port whether he could make an Anglo
Saxon out of a Cuban. What he wrote
was in private personal letter to his
wife without expectation of its pub
.lication
Washington, July 1G.-senor Quesa-
da, Cuban minister to the United
States, has called the attention Of
President Palma to the reported ut
terances of Consul General Bragg and
asked for instruction. Until he re-
ceives this he will take no step in the
matter.
Havana, July 16-It is positively
stated that the Cuban government will
take no action in the Consul Bragg in
cident. High officials are treating the
matter lightly,

MFRRILL'S BODY FOUND.
Convict Tracy's Story Tint He Killed
His Companion Has Been
Substantinted,

Seattle, Wash, July 1e.-The body of
Dave Merrill, who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary in company with
Harry Tracy, has been found near
Poor Farm, Chahalis, where Tracy
claimed to have killed his partner for
turning chicken-hearted.
Tracy's story that he had slain Mer-
rill was not believed and it has sew
eral times been reported that Merrill
has been seen and presumably had a
rendezvous with Tracy. The finding
of the body confirms the bandits
declaration that he slew his fellow
fugitive.
A bullet wound in the back reveals
the nature of his death. The remains
were in somewhat advanced stage of
decomposition, but were still recog-
nizable.
The last time that Merrill was seen
in camp with Tracy was on June 26, in
Tumwater canyon, when both escaped
their pursuers.
Tracy is now believed to be in Muck
leshot, Indian reservation, though
nothing definite is known of his where
abouts. He has not been seen since
early Monday.

WILL RETURN HOME.
Judge HumIplries Resigns as Circuit
Judge in HOnOlulu-Was APP
pointed by Mckinley.

Honolulu, July 8, via San Francisco,
July 15.-A. S. Humphreys has an
nounced his resignation as circuit
judge, having sent his resignation to
the president some time ago.
Humphreys was the first judge APP
pointed in Hawaii after annexation
as territory. He was appointed by
President Mckinley. Soon after TAX
ing the bench he became involved in
difficulties with local attorneys, part
ly on account of his severity in court
room practice, and in June, 1901, he
went to Washington to defend him
self against charges preferred by the
Hawaiian Bar association, seeking his
removal. He was sustained by the
attorney general and president, and
returned to Hawaii to resume his
place on the bench.

THE CROP REPORT.
weather Conditions Generally Fa-
Vornble-rOo Hot in Central and
East Gulf States.

Washington, July 16.-The follow
ing is the weather bureaus weekly
summary of crop conditions:
Very favorable temperatures prevailed
the Week ending July IA, in all districts east
OF the Rocky mountains with the exception
OF the central and east gulf states, which
have suffered somewhat from excessive
heat considerable portion of these last
mentioned districts have, however, re-
celVed much needed rains, relieving to
great extent the severe drought that has
prevailed for several weeks, although more
ram is greatly needed in some sections.
1eaVy rains have continued in the Mis-
souri, and Upper Mississippi valleys and
portlons OF the lake region, delaying culti-
Fatlon and causing destructive freshets In
places. The central and southern Rocky
mountain regions have suffered somewhat
from low temperatures and frosts. Highly
favorable conditions prevailed on the Pa
enc coast and especially in Oregon and
Washington
Inc corn crop as a whole, in the prin-
clpal corn states, has made very favorable
progress, although needing cultivation in
portions of the Missouri and Upper Missis-
slppl valleys and lake region as result of
continued rains, which have also reduced
the acreage somewhat in Iowa. In the
southern states late corn has improved
somewhat, but the early crop is very poor.
In New England, New York and North
Dakota corn is very backward.
WINTER wheat harvest is nearing COM
pletion, except in the northern portion of
the winter wheat belt. Their crop has
experienced generally favorable conditions,
except in the Missouri valley. where COM
plains continue of sprouting in stack and
shock. On the North Pacitis coast win
ter wheat is maturing nicely and harvest
Will begin in Oregon in about ten days.
Spring wheat is now heading in the
northern portion of the spring wheat re-
gion, and the general outlook for this crop
continues promising. although it is late
In portions of northern Minnesota. In
Iowa, where the crop has been damaged
somewhat by rust, the outlook is less
favorable.
Oats continue in promising condition, but
logging is reported quite extensively in
Nebraska and Iowa and to some extent In
Ohlo. Harvesting has been interrupted by
wet weather in the Lower Missouri val
ley, but has made good progress else
where.
In New England and Michigan the out
LOOK for apples continues promising and
less complaint of dropping is received from
missouri and Arkansas, but New York re-
ports less favorable prospects than in the
previous week In the Middle Atlantic
and Ohio valley states an Indifferent crop

The week has been favorable for haying,
except in portions of the Missouri valley,
where 1t has been retarded by rains. A
very fine crop is generally indicated in
the states Of the central valleys

THE KING LEAVES LONDON.
British Ruler Sails from Portsmouth
on the Royal Yncht-Stnnds
the Journey Well.

London, July 16.-King Edward left
Victoria station at 1885 o'clock Tues
day morning for Portsmouth, where
he will board the royal yacht Victoria
and Albert.
The king was conveyed from Buck
ingham palace to the railway station
in an ambulance drawn by two
horses.
The only other occupant of the am
bulance was Queen Alexandra. The
vehicle was driven at walking pace.
Although there was a small crowd at
the station there was no demonstra-
ton, in compliance with the express
wish of the king. The doctors and
nurses awaited the arrival of the am
bulance and a party of blue jackets
removed his majesty from the vehicle
to royal saloon car formerly used by
the late Queen Victoria. Absolute
privacy was secured by lofty screen
of red plush which surrounded the
platform.
Portsmouth, July 16.-King Edward
arrived here from London before two
p. m. The removal of his majesty from
the train to the royal yacht was safely
accomplished by blue jackets and the
kings couch was placed in recep-
tion room which had been specially
constructed on the upper deck.
The warships in the harbor fired a
royal salute as the king embarked and
all the vessels dressed ship and
manned yards or decks. The royal
yacht steamed off almost Immediately
after the transfer was completed.
It was officially given out Tuesday
evening that the king was not fatigued
by the journey, nor in the least dis
tressed by the transfers, and that his
majesty expressed great pleasure at
the change.
