WANT ENGINEERS TO
MEET IN LOS ANGELES
Injunction to Prevent Holding Convention
at Cleveland Is Asked.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April Third
Assistant Chief Eli Stevens. of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, this aft
ernoon secured an injunction from Judge
D1ssette. Of the common pleas court
temporarily restraining Grand Chief Stone
or other officers of the organization from
holding the biennial convention in Cleve-
land or any other point aside from Los
Angeles, Cal. The latter city was orig
inally chosen as the place for holding
this years convention, but owing to the
high transportation rates a movement
was recently started to hold the conven-
ton, which meets May H. in this city.
Grand Secretary Ingraham, of the broth
erhood, said this afternoon that, while
there had been some talk of holding the
convention at some point in the Middle
West, as a result of the extreme cost of
transportation to Los Angeles, the officers
at no time had definitely decided on such
a step. He added, that as a matter of
fact, the delegates would get reduced
rates on account Of the Methodist general
conference to be held at Los Angeles,
commencing May 5, and that as a result
the brotherhood convention will doubtless
be held in that city as originally planned

the japanese have given assurances of
safety from local uprisings. Mr.. Jor-
dan says the Japanese have been ex-
tremely considerate with regard to the
British mines. They have no desire
to hamper mining operations. They
promised not to make heavy levies of
food on the farmers of the surrounding
country and they agree to facilitate
the passage of specie for nayment of
wages, and even to supply specie for
this purpose. They will also safeguard
the transportation of bullion from the
mines to the coast.
NEW RUSSIAN NAVAL PLAN.
PARIS, April THE Russian naval
plan for retrieving the reverses at
Port Arthur and Chemulpo has been
communicated to one of the embassies
through official channels, having ac-
cess to the highest naval authorities
at st. Petersburg. The plan is ex-
planned as follows:
Russia recognizes that Japan now
has preponderating naval strength in
the far East. Therefore, it is essential
to reverse the present Japanese pre-
pOnderance. This will be attempted by
two distinct moves. First, urgent eff
forts will be made to have a naval
concentration at Port Arthur, the Bal
tic, Red Sea and Vladivostok fleets
joining Vice Admiral Makaroff's COM
mand, if possible, and thus giving the
combined fleets preponderance over
Vice Admiral Togo's. Second, it is
foreseen that it will be difficult and
probably impossible to effect this con-
centration, as Admiral Togo may inter-
cept the Baltic fleet before it's arrival
at Port Arthur.
In that event, the Baltic fleet, which
is comparatively small, will attempt
the perious task of engaging the large
japanese fleet in the hope Of disabling
some of the Japanese ships and thus
reducing the Japanese effective Ac-
cordtng to the Russian calculation the
Baltic fleet may suffer humiliation In
such an unequal combat but 1t will
have served a valuable end If 1t is
able to cripple sufficient number of
Japanese ships to reduce Admiral To-
go's naval strength below that of Ad-
miral Makaroff."
The foregoing information comes
from credible official sources as be-
ing the determined Russian plan.
