PEACE AMONG
iron WORKERS
The Buchanan and Parks Factions
Get Together at Kansas City
-Brophy Unseated.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 26.-Peace was
patched up between the Buchanan and
Parks factions In the international As
ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers this forenoon. President Blu
chanan had scarcely called the conven-
ton to order in regular session when the
Parks crowd expressed a desire to ignore
the proceedings Of their own rump con-
vention yesterday and proceed in regu-
lar way.
Then the convention took formal vote
on the motion to reconsider the veto by
which Daniel Brophy, a member of local
No. 2, and who held a proxy from Scran-
ton, Pa, had been seated. Brophy was
unseated by good majority.
AS he rose to leave the hall Samuel
Parks advanced, toward him with ex-
tended hand. Brophy refused to shake
hands with the New York walking dele
gate until the latter apologies for the
singing words directed against Brophy
on Thursday. This Parks did fully and
when the door closed upon Brophy the
convention settled down for the first
peaceable session since 1t convened last
Monday.
The convention was formally organ
lied and stopped long enough in its quar-
rels to listen to the annual address Of
President Buchanan which was to have
been delivered on Tuesday.
| Later Mr.. Brophy was invited to attend
sessions Of the convention, in which, how
ever, he was to have no vote. He de-
clined this offer and outside the conven-
ton said:
VIII Fight Parks.
IT will go back to New York and fight

jority of the structural iron and bridge
1 workers of New York areopposed to them

Grand Jury.
Developments There Seem to Show

New. York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Honolulu, Sept 26.-The United States
grand jury, which meets on the first Mon
day in October, will investigate the doings
Of the territorial legislature which ended
its sessions several months ago, and it is
expected that indictments will be returned
against some of the members, if not for
misuse Of public funds, then for the con-
cealing and destruction Of public records.
The vouchers showing the expenditures
made by the last house have either been
destroyed or secreted, and the first action
of Judge Estee is expected to be a sum-
mons for the house officials responsible
for the custody of public documents. If
| the vouchers are not then produced be-
| fore the federal grand jury, the next move
will likely be citations for contempt.
| Since the adjournment of the legisla-
ture, frequent demands have been made
! for the vouchers but there has always
been a refusal to turn them over to Secre-
| tary Carter, or else a disclaimer as to
knowing their whereabouts. Beckley was
| speaker Of the house and Solomon Me-
huela clerk.
| The house received for its expenses $685.
| 600 and ended the session in debt. The
| money Is alleged to have been spent ex-
Itravagantly, and it is charged that some
of the native members shared in the spells.
Bills were introduced, it is alleged, for
the sole purpose Of having them inter-
preted. The house fixed a schedule for
translating, printing and typewriting, but
no attention was paid to it, and men in
the hone-rule. party, it Is alleged, made
exorbitant charges for work.

AMATEUR SLEUTH
BEATEN TO DEATH
Was Spying on a House When He
Was Assaulted and
Killed. @
"a Man Known as Joseph Hanson Has
Been Identified as the
Murderer.

New York, Sept. 26-Frederick Adrian
Verdi, who died early to- day from wounds
inflicted by an unknown person, while he
was watching a house in{ Fifty-eighth
street, and said to have been atone time
"a apaEmastert in the navy ana was, until
recently, in the employ of a submarine
boat company as consulting engineer.
Verdu was well known by many persons,
but very little knowledge was possessed
by them of his career. 1t is said he re-
entered the navy during the war with
Spain and was in the battle Of Manila bay
with Admiral Dewey.
The police took charge of a man known
as Joseph Hanson, Who was found near
the scene of the NUMEROUS attack. His
hat was missing and he showed signs Of
having been engaged in an encounter.
Papers in his pockets indicated, according
to the police, that Verdi had been doing
detective work and that he and Hanson
had been working together, shadowing a
woman near the scene for several days.
A servant girl is the only person found
so far who witnessed the assault. She
says Verdi and Hanson were walking to-
gether when two men approached and
Verdu was struck down while Hanson
escaped Later at the station she picked
Hanson from among nine men as the per-
son who struck the man with a club. "
Later she Is said to have asserted that
Hanson struck the blow which felled
Verdu.
It is said that Mrs verdu is the
daughter Of 8, wealthy family. With
her husband she occupied apartments in
Brooklyn, wrom which she was SUNNI oned
to the hospital.

THEY WANT AN

EXPLANATION.
Conservative Labor Leaders Will
Urge Roosevelt to Explain
the Miller Case.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Sept. 26.--Walter Wellman in
Ia Washington special to the Record Herald
says: sgst 3.s
It Is apparent that, the conservatives
have won their fight in the executive
council of the American federation over
the Miller case and John Mitchell has
done President Roosevelt good turn for
the presidents aid in settling the coal
strike last year.
These men, with Mr.. Mitchell at their
head, believe the president did right in re-
Installing Miller, because he was protected
T by theytfederal civil service law, and it is
the presidents duty to enforce the stat
utes. But they do not want him to pre-
sumo to lay down a general principle to be
followed outside the government where no
statute applies, and it is understood that
efforts are to be made to induce the presi-
dent to intimate publicly that all he was
seeking to do was to enforce the law, and
that it is not his province to lay down
rules for the guidance of outsiders.
Whether or not the president can be in
duced to make any such expression or to
appease the radical unionists by permit
| ting Miller to be discharged is question
which can be decided on by the president
himself. It is understood that the presi-
| dent will discuss this phase of the case
with Mr.. Mitchell and other labor leaders
at luncheon at the White house next
Tuesday.

RUSSELL SAGE
IS DEFEATED
Title of Homestead Settlers to Is, 600
Acres of Land Will Be
Confirmed.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Appleton, Wis, Sept. 26.-The most i'm
portant decision ever made in this judi
cial district will be filed at an early date.
Judge Qvale has announced that he will
decide in favor of the settlers In their
litigation with Russell Sage His deci-
sion will confirm the title Of homestead
settlers to about 25, 900 acres of the choi-
cest land in Swift, Big Stone and Ste
yens counties, and hold that Russell Sage,
as trustee of the old Hastings & Dakota
Railway company, has no claim whatever
thereto The litigation involves the title
to fully ST. 900, 900 worth Of property, rep
resenting the homes and fortunes OF $50
farmers.
After years of litigation in the land de-
partment, the settlers were allowed home
stead filings on these lands, and in 1899
and 1900 patents were issued by the gov
eminent and delivered to them. Then in
January last Russell Sage Instituted ac-
ton against each of them, alleging that
under the terms of the grant to the Has
tings & Dakota Railroad company, and
the facts. the land department had erred
In it's decision, and that he. as trustee Of
the stockholders Of the railway company,
was entitled to the land.
Trials of four of these cases were had
at Benson last June, and upon the ques-
ton of fact submitted, a verdict was
reached In favor Of the settlers. The law
points were argued before Judge Qvale
at Willmar Aug. II, and 1t is upon the
cases thus submitted that the decision
has now been made. While the cases may,
and probably will. be appealed by Sage to
" fought and there Is but little danger
of a reversal
e. II. Young and G. w. Stanton were
attorneys for the settlers.

Special to The Journal.
s New York Sept. 26..--Within the next
two years Canadian railroad men expect
to carry to the seaboard from western
lake ports about three-quarters OF the
grain traffic, and a great percentage OF
the Hour and mill products of the west.
1t is stated that the reductionspf rates on
the Canadian routes the past TWO years
is but the beginning of long and SLOW
campaign begun by Canadian transpor-
tation companies to capture the export
freight from the great distributing points
Of the middle west-St, Louis, Chicago,
the twin cities and Duluth.
In view of the agitation In shipping cir
cles this season over the rate OF 4-4Hs cents
on wheat made by the Grand Trunk from
Chicago to Montreal this statement Is
startling one. The Canadian companies
have worked so quietly and slowly that
little attention was attracted until 1t was
discovered that the export grain trade
from New York, Boston and Philadelphia
had this summer been reduced to MIN
imum while the export strade at Montreal
had been correspondingly increased. This
movement has now gone so far that Mont
real on it's seasons business, is we'll In
advance of all American ports The move
ment has hitherto been confined largely
to grain, and it has not been suspected
that the Canadian routes aspired to COM
pete with the American trunk lines fol
other exports.
The following is made on authority. II

by a prominent Canadian railroad official
and politician now in New York, ano
runs thus:
Canadian Relief for Mllers.
IT see that the millers of the northwest
are agitated over the shipment OF f1oul
via the gulf ports to Europe. They fea1
that this trade will ultimately Interfere
with their magnificent export trade te
Europe, thru New York and other Allan
tic ports. They say that the heavy rate
on flour shipments from Minneapolis t.
European ports via these Atlantic ports
makes it possible for the shipped
flour, or wheat shipped thru those ports
and manufactured abroad to be laid dowr
IN Europe cheaper than flour manufac
tured In Minneapolis can be sold lalt

There was no trouble last night among

cause of what they termed the double

! A mass meeting of the woodsmen was
held in Barnes hall and Mayor Plummel
addressed them. He urged them to b
calm and face the situation in the best
manner possible, since 1t was unavoid,

ROBERTS ON The
GOLD STANDARD
Treasurer of the United States Ad-
dresses Convention of Bankers
at Washington.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Ellis H. Roberts,
treasurer of the United States, who is
attending the joint convention of the
Maryland and District of Columbia Bank
ers' association, which is being held on
board a steamboat on the Potomac river,
last night delivered an address before that
convention. In part, he said:
Current financial discussion deals in
much the larger part with national bank
notes They constitute less than one
sixth of our stock Of money, s418, 587, OTIS
out of 81, 70S, 693. 663, and no legislation can
change that ratio very materially. Gold,
on the other hand, furnishes s1,267, 1873, 949,
or hard on to one-half of our stock, and
it grew nearly $4,000, 900 last m onth.
'.Let me be content to stand on the rock
bottom Of gold. Of S2,3Ss, 9O2,17S in cir
culation, gold in coin and certificates is
ST. Old, 530.07S; bank notes are less than
$500, 900, O0O And again, look at the
treasury holdings. The gold there is to-
day the largest sum ever recorded, $685.
100000.
"Our treasury holds three and nine
tenths times the amount of gold belonging
to the Bank of England, which is 1885,
$50, 900; it is more than three and eight
tenths times that Of the imperial Ger
man bank, which Is $170,371 900, or very
nearly three times that of the Austro-
Hungarian bank, which Is 1921, 404, 900; II
lacks only $S,000,000 Of being equal to thai
of both of the banks of England and OF
France, which latter holds S494, SOC, 900
and it exceeds the amount of Russia, Ger
many Belgium and the Netherlands com
bined
The gold coin and certificates in cir
| culation Sept. 1. 1898, was $685., 166, 1875
which was 81 per cent of the total B,
the first of the present month, this facto
