world. In two minutes and sixteen
seconds .Treanor landed four eight

a distance of between fourteen and
sixteen hundred yards.
The significance of this feat is not
easily appreciated by landsman. IT

Head of Locomotive Brotherhoods
Will Arrive in st. Paul Today.
|. w. S. Stone, grand chief of the Broth
hood of Locomotive Engineers, and
John J. Hanrahan, grand chief of the
firemen, win arrive in st. Paul this
morning in connection with the de-
mands already made by the Great
Northern engineers and firemen, and
those to be presented by Northern Pa
cific engineers and firemen, who meet
today.
The grievance committee of the
Great Northern engineers and firemen,
which has been In st. Paul for almost
six weeks, yesterday held conference
with President Hill and General Man
ager F. E. Ward in the general man
ayers Office, resuming negotiations
which ceased when business called Mr..
Ward to. the Pacific coast.
Another conference will be held to-
day. at which the grand officers will be
present. A question of hours and
wages is at issue, but neither side will
yet disclose what demands have been
made by the men. The difference be-
tween the men and the company, how
ever, it is said. are not great, and an
agreement seems likely within a few
days.
The meeting of the Northern Pacific
engineers and firemen has been held
off pending the negotiations with the
Great Northern. Several members of
the committee arrived in st. Paul last
night, ard all will be on hand today,
when the meeting is called. The men
will hold several MEETINGS and discuss
the situation thoroughly before re-
qCeSting a conference with the man
agement Of the road.

RED FIRE WILL COVER
CHICAGO ALL OVER
Program for the Centennial Celebration
Is Issued by the Committees.

CHICAGO, Sept, 21.-Committees in
charge of Chicago's centennial cele-
bration, which begins next Saturday
and lasts until the following Thursday
night reported today that the prelim-
mary details were practically COM
plete. and issued programme for the
six days. Today invitations were sent
out for the banquet of mayors. which
takes place at the Auditorium on
Thursday night, Oct. 1. More than
800 invitations have been issued for
the Daughters of the American Rev.
olution reception. at which many of the
members will appear in gowns Of a
hundred years ago.
On Saturday night the centennial
managers will give reproduction or
the city in 1871 in unique display OF
red fire. One hundred tons of in1am-
mable material will blaze from the
roofs of several scores of the tallest
buildings in the downtown district.
and for thirty minutes the city will
seem to be struggling with a disaster
similar to that which resulted in al
most total destruction thirty-two years
ago. The scene, judging from tests
recently made on one of the high build
ings. will be thrilling to the extreme,
and this display will surely prove an
awe-inspiring spectacle.

THE COUNTY ROADS.

County Attorney Kane wiifsbe fully
warranted in putting a legal stopper
on the wasting of the public FUNDS by
the board of county commissioners in
patching the county roads. He should
not hesitate to take immediate and eff
fective measures to this end, as he
threatened to in the board meeting
yesterday.
AS was shown by T he Glob few
weeks ago, the money that has been
expended on the roads connecting st.
Paul with the surrounding territory,
which are muddy ruts that have swal-
lowedzor been made to- excuse the
swallowing of thousands of dollars of
the public funds been wasted or
worse. There is every evidence of job
berry in the. construction work, for it is
incredible that any.@set of intelligent
men would pay for such work as has
been done if they were spending their
own money. This does not apply to
the existing board, for the waste has
been going on for years, and there has
been every disposition on the part Of
the members of the existing commits
sion to continue it,.
The board persisted in letting minor
contracts without the legal requisite
of advertising. It is tacitly admitted
that the work was placed IN small
contracts in order to avoid the re-
quirement Of advertising for bids. This
custom must, be stopped. for it amounts
to the simple process of pouring money
into the mud
What the county needs is a properly
planned and thoroughly constructed
system Of highways and the elimina-
ton of petty politics and jobbery from
the work
AS means to this end, it is the duty
of the county attorney to invoke the
law to restrain the county commits
sfoners from frittering away the coun-
ty funds. Patching the roads will do
no material good. What is wanted is
a thorough investigation by a COM
petent commission of the needs of the
highways and the formulation of a
plan for the supplying of those needs

IRELAND's OPPORTUNITY.
Irish Party Will Make the Most of the
Cabinet Crisis.


LONDON, Sept. 21.-The question Of
the support of the Nationalist party
for the new fiscal policy of retaliation
Is said to be the subject of negotiations
between the government and the Irish
leaders. 1t is reported that Chief Irish
Secretary Wyndham is Offering a con-
cession In the shape Of Roman Cath
Ole college at Dublin, while the Ma
tionalists, on the other hand, are de-
handing measure of local self-goV-
eminent as the price of their support.
II appears clear that the Nationalist
intend to use the cabinet crisis as a
lever.
William O'Brien, NJ. P, speaking at
Cork tonight, declared unequivocally
that both of the English parties were
broken and the solid Irish party would
meet whichever came out on top. The
future aim of the Irish party, he said,
was ireland a nation" and it intend
ed to adopt position of independence
and hold its hands until it was discov-
cred from whom the best terms could
be obtained. The means which secured
the abolition of landlordism, he de-
clared. could easily on the same lines
achieve home rule.
King Edward is reported to have
approved the appointment of Austin
Chamberlain, the postmaster general,
to be chancellor of the exchequer in
succession to Charles r. Richie; Mr..
Arnold-Foster, secretary to the admir-
atty, to be secretary for war, in sue
cession to Mr. Brodrick; Mr.. Brodrick,
the secretary of war, to be secretary
for India, in succession to Lord George
Hamilton; and Lord SelbOrne, the first
lord of the admiralty, to be secretary
for the colonies, in succession to Joseph
Chamberlain. Lord Miner, the British
high commissioner of Africa, was Of

ENGINEERS AND
F|REMEN TO UNITE
Locomotive Brotherhoods May
Merge, Forming One Large
Federation.

There is a move under way to unite
the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers. and the two or
CARNATIONS may soon be federated into
one great union.
Trivart Shea, second vice president
of the firemen's organization, it is said,
is the leader of the consolidation move
ment, and it is further stated by mem
bers of the brotherhoods that the fed
GRAFTON scheme is meeting with much
encouragement from all the grand Off
GERS of both organizations.
For years there has been a great
number of firemen and engineers who
have favored the consolidation. but un-
til a few months ago, the late P. NJ. Ar
thur. grand master of the Engineers
Brotherhood, opposed the merger.
Shortly before his death he is said to
have been won over to the conSolida-
ton idea, and was a strong advocate of
the movement.
According to the rules of both Or
CARNATIONS they may be merged at any
time by majority vote of the MEM
bers. The question of federation has
never been voted upon, but the firemen
and engineers may be called upon to
make decision before the expiration
of the present year.
The joining of the two bretherhoodS
will make one of the strongest labor
unions In existence, with membership
of more than $4,000 skilled workmen.
The firemens organization now has
$4,000 members, while the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers is more than
$4,000 strong,
Advocates of the consolidation move
ment argue that there is no reason for
maintaining two organizations. as the
firemen and engineers are closely allied.
the f1remen of today becoming engi-
neers of tomorrow.
Members of the organization who are
in St. Paul refused last evening to dis
cuss the proposed merger, but it was
said that the federation of the two
unions Is very likely to be made before
the close of the year.

COLE YouNeER,s HARD LUCK.

odd Mizzoura" is no kinder to Thorn
as Coleman Younger than Minnesota
was. The ex-bandit has been arrested
charged with -embezzlement. It all
came about because Cole went into the
show business and it is by no means
likely that the charge of embezzlement
will be made to stick.
Younger simply mistoolx his vocation
when he went into the Wild West
game, the last time. When the West
was really wild and Younger was help
ing to make it wilder by shooting it up
on occasions he was in his element, but
when he, a reformed bandit, got the
idea into his head that he could cope
with the grafters who play at the Wild
West proposition he made a mistake.
He had no, more chance in the circus
business than he would have in the
theatrical business with the syndicate
against him.
Cole had better come back home and
get job in the pen. The world has

twenty-seyen years ago and he is not
fast enough to get into the pace now.
He has tried several things since he
was turned loose. He didn't make any,
thing of hit in selling monuments,
and prospered at nothing else he tried
in this state. In the field of literature
he might have done better than any,
thing else, for he did have some expert
ences worth the telling and literary tai
ent and imagination are just a drug on
the market. His first and only book.
his life, by himself, ought to have
brought him an income, but the show
people managed that for him and the
proceeds went into the show. The Wild
West itself did not draw. The show
was opened in that section of, the coun-
try where the natives don't have to pay
to see bandits. there being some mir
rors about.
Cole is out of his element in the busy
world. If they don't keep him in Jail
down there in Missouri he had better
disguise himself and escape from the
grafters who are going about seeking
ex-bandits to devour. He should
get somebody to show him the way
back home and apply for protection to

tiary.

THE FLOWER OF ZION.

On the 18th of November, in the year
of our Lord 1903, the flower of Zion, at
least 5000 strong, headed by one John
Alexander Dowie, will advance on New
York city. For the wickedness of
Gotham has disturbed the peace of
mind of the great commander and only
the moral regeneration of the metropo-
lis will comfort his soul. To bring
about this moral regeneration Prophet;
Dowie has requested each member of
Zion to go down in his pocket and
draw up as much cash as he can spare
for not prayers alone. but half mil
lion dollars as well will be necessary for
the conversion of Greater New York. He
urges that the sum be large, but he
promises to shake the hand of him
who gives only two cents.
Now that the crusade is we'll under
way it is difficult to see how, unless the
nipping frosts of November blight the
flow of Zion, New York can escape
conversion. The city itself has not
stretched forth Its hands to Zion for
aid. 1t is quite possible that the major
ity of the inhabitants of Gotham know
little about John Alexander Dowie and
care less. But that is not the prophets
fault and it has not deferred him from
commencing his present crusade. He
will take with him, according to his
own statement. the host that has COW
cred Chicago eight times. He naturally
concludes that host capable of cover
ing Chicago eight times and escaping
unscathed should be equal to any trial
of endurance or to the conversion of the
wickedest city.
Whether the flower of Zion will con-
vert the city en- masse or devote itself
to certain. districts there no one knows,
for concerning this John. Alexander
Dowie has made no announcement.
The determination to raise a half a
million dollars would lead one to con-
clude that the 400" is threatened.
Neither the 400" or Tammany would
look askance at the sum and both
would doubtless hail the prophet with
open arms. The former might look,
with contempt, to be sure, on the half a
million alone, but this sum, accom-
panied by so unique a character as the
prophet, will provide an amusement
that will excite the "4OO's" risibilities
and insure the prophet welcome.
And Tammany has never failed to find
a use for the man or money its claws
could reach. The prophet will probably
be allowed to try his hand at converting
the tiger.
What will commend the prophet to
the world at large just now, perhaps, Is
the Christian spirit Dowie is exhibiting
in getting up his crusade. He has al
ready announced that he intends to
pray that those who refuse to invest
any money in the crusade will lose fifty
per cent of all they have. Indeed. he
has stated that it is even probable that
he will pray that all those who refuse
may be wiped off the face of the earth.
This amiable announcement will doubt
less impel the flower of Zion to hustle
for the necessary cash. And this frank
ness and decision on the part of the
prophet goes long way toward con-
vincing the public that New York will
surely be converted. Whoever the
prophet finds to do" he apparently
