COMPROMISE PLANNED.
Subcommittee Hopes to Harmonic al
Differences Among Senators on this
Finance Question.

Subcommittee Hopes to Harmonic all
Differences Among Senators on the
Finance Question.
Washington, May 6.--The supcom-
mittce Of the senate COMMITTEES on IL
nance which has begun it's sessions AT
Hot Springs. Va..which will spend the
coming ten days framing currency
reform measure, has made it known A.
the outset that it proposed to harmoniza
all differences on the financial questlol'-
The subcommittee is composed OF Sen
ators Aldrich. of Rhode Island; Allison,
of Iowa; Platt, of Connecticut, ana
Spooner, of Wisconsin.
1t will be recalled that the great OBJ
stacle in the way of financial leg1sla-
ton at the last session of congress
was the quarreling that went on con-
tinually between the house and senate
republican leaders, who We're at logger
heads on financial matters from the
first until the last day of the session.
The senate leaders wanted mild
measure passed, while the house COM
mittee' on banking and currency stood
committed to various reforms, inciud-
ing an asset currency proposition, ana
neither faction would give an inch.
The result was no financial legislation
at all, and an adjournment of congress
with a very bitter feeling existing be-
tween the opposing factions.
When the senate sub committee met
Tuesday it announced it's purpose to
bring all republican leaders together,
TO secure the passage by the coming
congress of measure which VIII al
ford needed reforms in the currency
system as we'll as provide against fu-
ture financial stringency, To that end
a bill will be framed in the nature OF
compromise measure
Concessions will be made to the
house leaders and in this way 1t Is
hoped that all the currency reform
headers in congress will pull together
once more In order to achieve this
purpose it will be necessary to frame
a bill of much wider scope than that
introduced and championed by Senator
Aldrich last session.

Michigan soldiers at Andersonville pri-
son. The house passed the indetermin-

The Three Powers Preparing to Take
Vigorous Steps to Convince Russia
That Evacuation of Monchuria is
Insisted Upon-A Formal Alliance
Not Contemplated.

Washington, May S.-The state de-
partment has received official confirm
alton from its agents in China. of the
increase of the Russian garrison in
New Chwang. Manchuria. and there is
reason to believe, if President Roosevelt
approves, that 1t Is preparing to take
vigorous steps in the matter. 1t is
stated that the department has had its
patience taxed by the course of events
in Manchuria. and that it now contem-
plates a more radical step than any
which has heretofore marked the ne
gotiations between the powers on the
subject. The proposed step contem-
plates joint action by Japan. England
and the United States, which will have
the effect of convincing Russia of the
united determination of the three ma
tons to insist upon Russia's evacua-
ton of Manchuria, While not actually
committing the United States to for
NAL alliance. This program is subjec,
to the approval of the president.

ment in Australia.
Melbourne, Victoria, May S.-All the
state owned railroads of Victoria may
be tied up tonight because of curious
dispute between the government and
railroad employees regarding the right
the Victoria Trades Hall, headquarters
of trades unionism in this colony. The
employees of the railroads are practical
ly civil servants and the government
claims that in case of a strike in other
trades affiliated with Trades Hall rail-
road men would be obliged to strike
in sympathy and therefore the govern
ment has notified the railroad men
that unless they withdraw from the
Trades Hall before May IL, they will
be dismissed. The Engineers Associa- :
tion replied that unless the govern
nent withdraws its notification before
five this evening they will strike at
midnight and leave their locomotives
wherever they happen to be- About
eleven thousand men are involved in the
dispute.

ITALY DEPLoREs LYNcHlNe.

Honor to Civilization"

Rome, May s.-Replying in the cham
Der of deputies yesterday to demand
by Deputy Cirmeni for an explanation
of the present status of the .investiga-
tion of the lynching of Italians at Err
win, Miss. in July, 1901, Under Foreign
Secretary Baccelli said that no convlc-
tions had been secured owing to the
reticence of witnesses.
Signor Baccelii said the American
congress had voted $4,000 for the FAM
HES of the victims, but the Italian gov
ernment could not admit price for
blood. athoug it would not force tfe
injured parties to refuse the indem-
nifty.
For the present" continued Signor
Baccelli, Il can only hope that the great
American nation, which, in many re-
spects, stands at the head of civiliza :
tion, will understand that lsnching is
custom which certainly is no honor TO
so lofty a civilation and will suppress
it,
Signor Bacelli's reply was received
with much applause.

Special to Times-Republican.

Des Moines, May Sat 8 o'clock this
the Women's Federation reported the
names of Mrs. Fletcher of Marshail-
town, and Mrs. Walter l. Smith, of
Council Bluffs, for president and the
|ccnvention will choose between them.
Mrs. Baily, of Des Moines, positively
refused to allow her name to be used.
In the morning Mrs. Metcalf, OF
CDunciY Bluffs, chairman of the noml-
,,ting committee, appeared on the plat
4 rm, made confession of the perpiexity
lin which the committee found itself, and
asked for an informal informing Dal
Hot. This was taken. The results will
not be known until this afternoon, when
the election takes place. That is, the
results will not be known for sure"
There was a good deal of guessing.
however, as to the ballot for the presi-
dency, in which most interest is taken.
The majority seemed to be of the opin-
len that it resulted something like this
Mrs. Baily, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Deemer
and Mrs. Fletcher.
1Hes general opinion seemed TO Do
that Mrs. Baily would be reelected, all
tho surprise was expressed that she
should desire the election, considering
her weii-known views regarding second
terms. 1t was also stated that Des
Moines has had its share in the presi-
dency and the biennial meeting. Espe-
cially did the western part of the state
think it had turn coming. The Ninth
district had two candidates. Mrs. Wall
ter /. Smiths candidacy was announced
some weeks ago, thru the columns Of
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil. This an
nouncement, it is said, kept Mrs. Deem
81! from saying she would accept the
presidency, altho she was strongly
urged as she was two years ago at the
Council Bluffs meeting, and some wom-
ell will never be satisfied until they see
Mrs. Deemer welding the federation
g;,vel. In view of the complicated situ-
alton in the Ninth district, the re-elec-s
tion of Mrs. Baily was made the more
possible. Mrs. Fletchers name was
persistently mentioned, and she was
undoubtedly a favorite with many, and
some thought her to be the dark horse
that would win.

MAY ARBITRATE
Governor Mickey, of Nebraska, At
tempts to Bring the Warning EIc-
ments Together in Omaha.

Omaha, Neb., May S.-Governor
Mickey and representatives Of the em-
ployers and strike leaders will meet this
afternoon to take steps toward set
tlement of the industrial strike. The
governor will urge arbitration.
Chicago, May S.-As a result of the
increasing demands of organized labor
which have a tendency to fix by rule
all relations between employer and en-
ployed Chicago business men have de-
cided to eliminate all sentiment from
the relations between them and the
workers.
No annual vacations will be given;
every employe ten minutes late will be
doclled a half hour; every man off
duty because of sickness will lose all
his wages for the time he is not work
ing; the custom of sending sick em-
ployes to health resorts and paying
them full wages will be discontinued,
and the employment of every man VIII
be in the hands of an agent, who Will
do his work according to fixed rules.
This policy will be carried out by the
employers association unless united
labor recedes from it's position, which
the capitalists believe is becoming
0ictatorial.
The association will also stand alb
solutely for the right to employ either
union or non-union workers. On the
other hand, it will deal sternly with
any member that agrees not to dis
eriminate against union labor and then
breaks faith.
Labor unions have been charged
with having 'wrecking crews flying
sauadrons" and other bodies to ac-
comnlish their ends, but until this
week the employers have not taken
steps to fight with similar weapons
The Steam Users association, or
ganized by Paul Blatchford, has form
ed flying wedge" of expert engineers.
These workers will be held in readi-
ness to go at a moments notice and
take the throttle dropped by union en-
gine men in Chicago or vicinity.
This force is expected to stop effect
ually hasty strikes of engineers and
firemen. 1t is not the policy of the
steam users to fight the unions, except
TO prevent damage to their business en-
terprises.
Besides the organizatio tion of the COM
pany of strike breakers the associa-
ton has made plans to treat with
unions of all kinds.
When the representatives of the
workers are willing to confer this will
always be granted, and Mr.. Blatchford
expresses the hope that strikes may
be prevented by agreements made be-
tween the parties interested rather
than by means of strikes and the use
of the flying wedge"

"A dispatch from the officials at New
Chwang says indications point strongly
to these active preparations being in
tended to guard against operations
against Russians in Manchuria.
London, May S.-The announcement
from Pekin that the Russians have re
occupied New Chwang must not be
understood as implying they ever fully
evacuated the place. The news is taker

LAND BILL TRluMPHs.
Parliament Passes Irish Measure O.
Second Reading.

SeCohQ fedOlnS.
London, May S.-The Irish land bill
passed its second reading in the house
of commons by vote of a43 to 26 We'd
nesday night. During the debate on the
bill John Morley. liberal, who was re-
ceived with opposition cheers, said the
bin was a bold and courageous meas
ure, and revolutionary extension OF
the land purchase system. He had
never known bill that could be so
riddled with objections. Its remedies
Were abnormal, but it was creature of
social necessity; therefore, he would
support it. He said il this bill failed.
there would be no more purchases be-
cause of the terms now offered by the
landlords. The bin had many reject
i've clauses which would entail its de-
feat, and it would save time If the
Irish secretary. Mr.. Wyndham, would
point uot whaet concessions he was pre-
pared to make.
Continuing. Mr.. Morley said the bill
marked the collapse of the system by
which England had governed Ireland
since the union, and that he hoped to
see the time when Irishmen We're made
responsible and given their own par
lament.
Iii winding up the debate Mr.. Wynd-
ham made light of what he called the
'bogey of the home rule" Now both
parties in the struggle desired to bury
the ancient feud. Was the occasion
to be allowed to pass? Re showed how
baseless was the fear of general re
i pudiation of obligations. The best Sc
curity was the unanimous desire of tbs
,tafa
But the cash security was ample, While
past records of land purchase transae-
tions showed there was little risk.
Continuing Mr.. Wyndham said that
