WILL EXTEND STRIKE ATTEMPT TO TIE UT rHx'zAHa1-
 MAN LIND0. Result of Conference Between Prssi- dent Burt of tha Union Pacific and Representatives of
 the Shopmen-

On sha, Neb., Jan. 30.-The conference between President Burt of the Union Pa cinc Railway and the representatives of the striking shopmen of that system was without result. The labor leaders say that mass meeting will be called at once end steps taken by the strikers to esxtsii6 Atnspptsikss< afi parts of the liar riman system.
 President McNeiI of the National As sociation of Boiler Markers said that no plan had yet been arranged for action on the Southern Pacific as it had not been expected 1t would be, necessary to bring the rer. on that system into the strike. and added tLat such action might be de- ferred. He said he would go to Kansas City tonight and that there would be no further conferences with President Burt at this time The Southern Pacific men. he said. were ready to join the ranks of the strikers at any time.
 Thomas L. Wilson, Fourth vice-Presi- dent of the Machinists' Union. said that the American Federation of Labor would be asked to take hand and that strike would be carried on more vigorously than ever.
 At Union Pacific headquarters this af- ternoon the following statement was made:
 Piece work has been successful sys- tenn in the shops of our company for six months past, and the committee repre- senting the strikers was told that no change in the system could be made at this time.
 'we now have more men in the shops here than we have ever had before and their character and skill Is all that we could ask. A reduction will soon be nec- essary, because our busiest season is now over The same condition applies to all other points on the line.
 If we were, to take back the strikers now. 1t would mean that our force in the shops would be crowded out and this we dislike to do.
 This strike Is over so far as the com pany Is concerned. The men quit the service last June and we hired new men in fil their places"

IMMIGRATION MEASURE.
Effort to Do Away With Opposition
 to the Bill.

Washington. Jan. 9O.-Senators Penrose. Lodge and Fairbanks. leading members of the Senate Committee on Immigration, which Nhas in charge immigration bills, have been in conference today with other members of the Senate with a view of ob- taining an agreement on the bill whereby It's passage can be secured.
 Senator Lodge who has been the special champion of the educational test for i'm migrants, has agreed to allow that provi- sion to be withdrawn providing unani- nous consent can be had for the passage of the bill after the amendment is with drawn. There are. however. a few Sena- tors who see danger in conference who are not yet satisfied and may oppose the bill even with the education provision eliminated. In the present condition of legislation 1t is generally recognzed that the passage of the bill is impossible un- less all opposition can be removed

OPENED THE GRAB BAG
CoNoREssMEN WITH CLAIM.
 STAND TOGETHER.
Leader Payne's Attempts to Protect the Treasury Shunted Off. Private Bills of All
 Kinds are Up.

Washington. Jan. 3o.-This was the last private claims day of this Congress in the House and members' bills on the call sndar carried everything before them in committee of the whole. Forty-ave bills tn all were acted on favorably despite the efforts of MT. Payne, the Republican leader, assisted by Mr. Cannon and csh- CTS to defeat some of them. Many of the claims were old. dating back to the civil war and few originated prior to that time. The latter were for balance due for carrying mails in the South when the war broke ont.
 Mr. Payne was particularly insistent in his opposition to these bills, calling attention to the exposure of the fraudu- 'ent character of many similar claims in the Forty-f Congress. He expressed the opinion that all of these claims had been paid before. The members stood to- Sether. however. and voted him down ev- cry time he demanded a division.
 There were several bills 10 reimburse postmasters and internal revenue collec- tors for stamps lost or stolen. One was tn pay the balance on contract for ice furnished the army hospitals in the Mis- s:ssippi Valley during the war. The amount claimed Is $So. .O0o and Is for ice at Inc rate of 9O cents a hundred pounds.
 Among the others were bills to pay George c. Ellison. an engineer at the Capitol in the '70s 5000 for the cost of defending himself against the charge of murder; to pay 5000 to the widow of Samuel Muhleman. one of the victims of the old Ford Theatre disaster. when the building in which were employed govern ment clerks collapsed. and to refund the customers of w. M. Jacobs of Lancas- ter. Pa.. the amount Of the counterfeit stamps purchased from him.
 When the committee of the whole re- ported the bills to the House Mir. Payne blocked their final passage today by mak- ing the point of no quorum. But the friends of the claims refused to be balk- ed. A motion was made to recess until tomorrow at l0:36 In order to continue the legislative day. The vote on this motion stood "A to 5. MT. Payne made the point ot no quorum.
 Let us stay with him. cried MT. Richardson lTenn.). the minority leader. and the roll was called.
 Only 1lS members appeared on the call and the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to bring in absentees. At 8 o'clock after waiting more than two hours a quorum was secured. The motion to take a re- cess was declared carried 150 to s7 with 29 present and not voting and at ID. m. the House accordingly stood in recess un. til 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning.

POSITION OF FRANCE.
No Suggestion of Threats Because of
 Bad Treatment.

Paris, Jan. 30-The Council of Minis ters today was occupied chiefly with Foreign Minister Delcasse's presentat ton of the state of foreign affairs. It is as- sumed that the Venezuelan situation was included but the official statements of what. occurred at the meeting mention only Morocco and Macedonia. M. Del casse's views have been fully communi- rated to Ambassador Jusserand who is expected to arrive ia Washington tomor- row. The position of the French officials in regard to the claims of the powers Is one of dignified ffrmness. but there is no suggestion of a threat or of the possibil- ity of serious eventualities.

The Stitch IN Time.

When people begin to lose appetite,
or to get tired easily, the least impru-
dence brings on sickness.
The stitch in time that saves nine
is Hoods Sarsaparilla taken now.
This great medicine enjoys the
same, distinction as preventive that
it does as a cure, which is saying a
great deal, for never before in the his
tory of medical science has SO much
thought been given to preventive
medicine as is being given now.

A company of Plymouth business
men have applied for franchise to
light and heat residences, business
houses. and other buildings in the city
of Plymouth with gas.
The council discussed the matter at
its meeting Monday evening and adj
journed until Thursday evening TO
further an ordinance granting the
franchise.
There are a number of points that
ought to be considered in granting
the franchise. There is and should
be no opposition to such a plant in
Plymouth provided the franchise is
properly guarded, but the right kind
of an ordinance at the outset will save
considerable trouble and misunder-
standings in the future.
