Connolly was a passenger from Elko,
New, which is on the Central Pacific, and
had been through passenger. He was a
man Of about 40 years of age and appeared
to have been In poor health. This assump-
tion is borne out by the contents of a
letter from the wife of the dead man, In
which she says that she is sorry to hear
that he Is not feeling we'll. The letter was
eouched in very loving terms, and gives
an account OF the writer's success in get

bands absence. It is thought that the

HANNA PLEADS FOR PEACE
Urges Employees to Confer with
Men and Thus Avoid
Strikes.

ERIE. Pa. April s.-senator Hanna was
the guest Of honor and principal speaker
tonight at the second annual banquet Of
the Erie Chamber of Commerce in scott's
Music hall. a.
SENATOR Hanna responded to the toast,
Capital and Labor making a forcible
and characteristics address. He began by
saying that his subject was most dear to
his heart and most important to the people
OF the country. far above all political ques-
tions Of the day. He confined much OF his
remarks to his connection with the civic
federation, its objects and aims and the
great amount Of good work 1t had done.
The federation, he declared, experienced
only one failure, settlement OF the great
coal strike of last summer He did not,
however, consider that failure, as when
the settlement was effected by the coal COM
mission the men secured better conditions
than he had asked for them from the
operators.
Employers should. he said, take the
initiative in asking their employees for a
conference on grievances. when all strikes
would be avoided.

BERLIN, April s.-Heinrich Pariser. a

to two years Imprisonment and TO pay a
fine Of S2,50O for usury. Sixty speeifca-
tions were brought. including the COM

Won ''H." (the court did not permit his
name TO be known 26 per cent which the
baron paid, though he had an unmortgaged
income from a landed estate amounting to

was that OF millionaire who paid interest
at the rate Of 100 per cent for a short-te
loan Of 5000. Pariser admitted having
charged the rates mentioned, but he said
that the enormous risks reduced his profits
to 10 per cent on the capital invested and
said his gambling on human nature" en-

CHICAGO, April e.-At the annual din

TO the toast, Peace Between the Sections"
and took occasion to decry the attempts
some northerners are, in his opinion, max
ing to turn the negro into a white man.
At the same time he struck a note of warn
ing, expressing fears of another civil war
between labor and capital.

in the constitution which gave color to the
civil war. and which would still allow any
state to claim independence without its
citizens being guilty Of treason.
