ANOTHER NEGRO
 CASE ON HANDS
WADDElL OF FAYETTEvlLLE, N. C., MAKES CHARGES OF DlS- ELIMINATION AGAINST THE
 POSTMASTER OF THAT PLACE.

Washington, June 15.-(Special)-Presi dent Roosevelt has another negro case on his hands and is threatening to re- move from office Postmaster McCaskill of Fayetteville, N. '. McCaskill Is seek ing reappointment and has the endorse ment of Republican State Chairman Rol- lins, but he has encountered the spirit ed opposition of a number of leading ne- groes in the tar heel state.
 The hostility resulted from the exclu- sion of the negroes from the county con ventions and McCaskill is charged with the responsibility. Formal charges to this effect have been filed with Postmaster General Payne by c. D. Waddell one of the leading negro politicians. He charges that members of his race have been fore ibly denied representation in conventions. I he charge is much the same that leading to the removal of Collector 3ing- ham of Alabama.
 Thomas F. Grady of New York, Tam raanys oldest state senator, thinks or says he thinks, that Cleveland will be nominated at St. Louis However" says Senator Grady, the candidate for pres ident will be chosen by the uninstructed delegates. They will get together after they arrive in St. Louis and make the nomination then. By reason of it's large delegation and the character of it's lead- CTS Pennsylvania will probably have more to do with the selection than any other state. l am delegate instructed for Judge Parker. Parker's name will be con- sidered along with the others. but as the New York delegates are all instructed they will not be. included in the confer ence. If the convention had not instruct ed us 1t would have been better and we could have been of more use.'
 During the past few weeks a good deal of money has been represented by some of the Presidents visitors. and the talk of running amuck" among the trusts Is steadily on the decline. George l. Gould was a caller yesterday. and recently the following have put in an appearance at the White House: James Stillman presi- dent of the National City bank; A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania :; J. Pierpont Morgan and George w. Per- kins. not to mention a score of lesser financial lights
 "I do not pretend to know how the fight is coming out at St. Louis" said Representative Livingston of Georgia to- day. But there is one thing certain-it will take some mighty good political work on the part of former Senator Hill to se- cure Judge Parkers nomination. In fact l do not consider Judge Parker's nomina- tion at all probable as the situation now stands
 When the contemplated cabinet changes are made there will be but two of Mc- Kinleys old cabinet left. the secretary of state, Mr. Hay, and the secretary of in- terior Mir Hitchcock.
 Charles H. Scott of Montgomery was in the city today enroute home from New York. He will leave Montgomery for the Chicago convention Sunday.

Alliance of
Building Employees

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. $.-Te
bring building contractors and EN-,
ployes closer together throughout
the country with a view to lessening
the number of strikes is the chief
aim Of the National Structural Build.
ing Trades Alliance, the permanent
organization of which is to be effect
ed at a conference begun today by
representation of the interested lab
or organizations.
For several years the idea Of the
alliance was agitated, but active
measures were not taken to form
such a body until last fall, when the
National Buildings Trades Empty
ers' association was formed. A com
mittee of heads of national labor un,
ions was formed shortly afterward.
and sent out a call for a meeting at
which tmporary organization OF the
alliance was effected. It was de-
cided to start with the national nm
Ions in the nine principal building
trades. These are the Bricklayers'
and Masons' International union, the
international association Of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, the
United Association of Journeymen
Plumbers, Gas and Steamfitters, the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters,
theOperative Plasterers' National IN
ion, the International Association OF
Stationary Engineers, the National
Electrical Workers union, the Broth
erhood OF Painters. and the Interna-
tional Building Laborers' union.
When the alliance Is in running
order it will represent a member
ship OF 800, 900 building trade work
ers. The organization will aim to
facilitate the creating of trade agree
ments with the associations OF em-
ployers where no such agreement ex-
lists, to bring about the arbitration OF
trade disputes, to do away win
strikes and lock-outs, and to foster
business relations between unions
and employers.

Al Albuquerque Coming
Here Next Thursday

The Albuquerque Citizen says II
looks as though all Albuquerque was
coming to Las Vegas next Thursday.
The paper continues.
At least that is the way it looks
now, for the Santa Fe railroad com
pany have consented to run an ex-
cursion train to Las Vegas on that
day for the benefit of those wishing to
attend the military encampment, and
have made the unheard of rate Of
three dollars for the round trip. This
Is really cheaper than you can stay
at home.
The train will leave here early in
the morning, reaching Las Vegas at
about IL a. M, and will leave Las
Vegas for the return about 7 o'clock,
arriving here shortly before midnight.
This will give visitors plenty of time
to spend several hours at the famous
Gallinas park, which is noted for the
most beautiful spot in the west. In
addition to the superb race track and
base ball grounds, there are miles OF
shady walks and drlveways. an arti.
ficiai lake, dancing pavilion, mineral
springs, etc. The electric road passes
by the entrance 10 the park, and con.
