the prisoners. The bandits arrested
in Indiana refused to confirm or deny
the contents of the message. They
were then asked to tell whatever
more they had to say concerning their

COMPRESS MEN
 FILE COMPLAINTS
PLANTERs' COMPANY OF BOSTON
 ALLEGES THAT ILLEGAL PRAC- TIcES ARE INDUCED IN BY CENTRAL OF GA. AND OTHERS.

Washington, June 16.-The Planters in Boston, in a complaint filed with the interstate commerce commission against the Central Railroad of Georgia, ct all, al- Ieges an unlawful practice of issuing and crediting expense bills, credited on other than the cotton originally shipped there under.
 The complaint says that such practice allows rates different from those pub lished. The commission Is asked to stop the substitution of other or different cot ton on any through bill of lading when the cotton originally shipped hereunder has been stopped for compressing, or any other purpose. The company complains that the practice of the Southern and other roads called by them Equalization of rates" is illegal and constitutes a re- bate or shrinkage from the regular pub- lished rates in the case of such exported cotton.
 A complaint against the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas, ct al, alleges that the so- called "back-hauling'' of cotton and other practices are unlawful. It asks the com- mission to adjudge the defendant roads guilty of unjust discrimination, of unlaw- fully charging less for longer haul than a shorter one; of violation of the law in hauling uncompressed cotton from the stations north of Muskegee, south to South McAllister. and then north again through those stations at the rate of 65c per 100 pounds. The commission is asked to declare that the practice of exacting the uncompressed cotton freight rate from shippers of compressed cotton is unlawful

Washington. June 16.-(Special.) .)-In the early spring of 1896 when the conserva- tive democrats of the country were look ing around for a good, strong man of their faith under whose leadership they might be able to defeat the free silver wing of the party, an earnest effort was made here to induce MT. Cleveland to de- clare a preference. or at least speak out plainly himself and say that he would not allow his name to go before the con- vention as a candidate. At that time there were two able men in MT. C1eve- lands cabinet-Secretary Carlisle and Secretary olney. Each was good pres idential timber and their friends believed that with their own prestige and with the influence of the president and the admin istratlon either could have at least put up good fight against the free silver element. MT. Cleveland, however fought shy of committing himself. or of saying a word which could be construed by the public as refusing the nomination If 1t came to him. The best friends of Cleve- land knew that he had no earthly show with the party, and were restless and an- noyed at his obstinate silence.
 Finally an intimate friend and a prom inent democrat told MT. Cleveland in plain language that he should write a letter that could not be misunderstood to the effect that his name must not go before the convention. This gentleman gave to MT. Cleveland the reasons why he should do this and excellent reasons they were. MT. Cleveland did not take the counsel of his friend with that good nature in which 1t was given. In fact

MITCHELL SUCCEEDS AGAIN
Convention oreets Announcement With Loud Bursts of hpplause-Mltchell to Represent Miners Before
 Reconciliation Board.

Scranton, Pa, June 16-There will be no strike in the anthracite region growing out of the refusal of the operators to recognize the credentials of District Presidents Nichols. Fahy and Dettrey, instructed by the joint executive board of the United Mine Workers as the min CTS representatives on the board of con- ciliation.
 The convention of the United Mine Workers today elected the three district presidents by districts as their represen- tatives. and the operators, through Presi- dent George F. Baer of the Reading com pany, announced that this action was satisfactory.
 Announcement Greeted With Applause.
 When the miners convention adjourned Monday afternoon 1t was for the os- tensible purpose of giving the committee on resolutions opportunity to frame a re- port embodying the sentiment of the con- vention as expressed In the motions and speeches of Monday afternoons session. During the night and early this morning Mir Connell of the conciliation board on the one hand. and President Mitchell on the other communicated with one an- other through Charles P. Neill, who was kent here as a peace envoy by some mem- bers of the strike commission, and the result was a tentative agreement that 1t the miners in the three separate district conventions elected representatives those representatives would not be objected to by the oprators
 In commenting on grievance present. ed by the engineers, President Mitchell said:
 AS far as I can learn some of the en- gineers ought not to get anything at all. They were granted a Sunday holiday by the commission, yet they work the seven days as formerly. so as to get an extra days pay. One of the strongest cases we had before the commission was that of the engineers working seven days week, the year round, and a 24-hour shift every two weeks. They are doing you and them selves a wrong by not taking advantage of the day off,"
