TRUE BILLS ARE FOUND
MISSISSIPPI DEBENTURE OPEL
 CIALS IN TROUBLE.
Charges are Made That Contracts Have Not Been Carried Out Many Persons Will Lose
 Money.

Jackson. Miss, May 7.--It developed to- day that the Federal Grand Jury which adjourned last night brought in indict- ments against the officers of the Missis- slppi Debenture Company, which has been operating in this city for some years past. Those indicted were: A, V. smith. secretary; c. P. King, vice-presi- dent, Jackson; J. W. Hughes, president, Louisville, Ky; s. H. Abbey, Crystal Springs. former president and L. o. Rob- bins of New Orleans, former vice-presi- dent. Messrs. Smith, King and Abbey were arrested this afternoon by United States Marshals and put under 5000 appearance bond
 The indictments were found on the tes- timony of a number of persons who al- legged that they have been paying money Into the concern which has not lived up to its contracts.
 Some days ago the Mississippi Deben- ture Company was thrown into the hands of a receiver on application of a New Orleans bond holder. The Missis- sippi Debenture Company was started by lccal people some six years ago, but when the debenture companies were driv- en out of Louisiana, the Mississippi Com pany took up the business of the Louisi- ana Debenture Company. The arrests have created somewhat of a sensation in the city. The post office inspectors have been Investigating the business of the company for some weeks and furnished valuable testimony to the grand jury. The company which had a large num- Der of bopdholders have only six hundred dollars in assets. so the receiver ap- pointed by the State courts reports. The loss will fall heavily on a number of people. One stenographer. a young lady, testifying before the grand jury stated that she had put $500 into the company, paying it in monthly installments.

CAPITAL AND LABOR MEET Committee of Civic Fed
 eratiOn. ARBITRATION IS DISCUSSED John Mitchell Advocates Joint Trade Agreement. Eight-hour Day and the Question of Right to Joint Union, Not
 Matters for Arbitration,
 He Says.
 [ q .

New York. May 7.--Capital and la bor met again today at the continued meeting of the executive committee ot
 the National Civic Federation. The object of the meeting was the propo- sttfon of joint trade agreements, one Of the subjects which the late Chair | man. Senator M. A. Hanna, believed was the closest to the work of the Federation. Francis L. Robbins. President of the PittsburE Coal Company. who presided opened the- meeting with an address on the bituminous coal interests. Mir Robbins said that no body of laborers unless 1t were the longshoremen. were l as we'll qualified as the soft coal min
 CTS to speak of the virtue of the join, trade agreement.
 John Mitchell. who followed, strong ly advocated the joint trade agree ment idea.
 View of Mitchell. 'The idea of the joint trade agree
 ment sthe essence of trade union- ism" he said. We have now $50, ,o0o men working under conditions which are fixed by joint agreement. We ad- just all differences now by agreements we leave no question to arbitration; ar- bttration is preferable to strikes. that is all.
 outsiders called in have said they did not understand conditions and the result of the arbitration has been un- 1 satisfactory to bot hempioyers and em- ployes.
 "I believe in strikes also believe in lockouts sseither side must sur render either of their rights. But I believe neither thing should be resort ed to until each side has exhausted ev- cry peaceful means for settlement. Nothing can make so much for in- dustrial peace as the recognition of the Independence of labor and capital. "Officers of the companies have open ed their books, to me frequently when there ia some question of the returns made. We know what the operators arc making and in this way we come closer tofsether. Wa believe the. an.
 swer to all questions Il. the trade lagreement."
 Mitchell Draws the Line. Tn reply to questions put to him by
 members of the federation MT. Mitch- ell said that under no circumstances would he consent to the arbitration Of some fundamental questions. He would never consent to arbitrate the eight
 hour work day or his right to belong
 to union. As an instance of his posi- ton on the question of arbitration he cited case where he had advised the
 miners in KeEaacky to accept a wage reduction of i-2Nper cent rather than accept arbitration which the employers were perfectly willing to grant. He
 believed this preferable to having out
 siders come in to adjust affairs which
 they did not understand.
 Daniel J. Keefe. president of the In-
 ter-national Longshoremen Marine and
 Transport Workers Association, said
 that during the past year the vast or-
 ganization which he represents, has
 only had one case of arbitration. His
 union has found 1t best to treat direct
 ly with employers and their efforts in
 this direction have been uniformly suo-
 cessful.

AWAIT THE BOOSTERS
DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL OF PARTY
 SUCCESS.
Man Who Stands in the Way of Harmony is He Who Was Twice Honored By His
 Party.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

colorado Building,
 Washington. May T.
 People of the Democratic faith whose hearts a few times in their lives have bounded gloriously at the sight of Demo- cratic roosters in the newspapers that brought the news of victory have begun to cherish anticipations of enjoying again the sensations that used to make them rise up and whoop with wild exultation.
 Southerners have been particularly hopeful of late. There is a man in the White House just now who has been more distasteful in every thing a North err. Republican President can be than any os that party who ever held the office. They are intensely concerned to see him defeated. The prospect of party so united and harmonious as to assure vic- tory has been giving them bright dreams. but there has been one thing that has marred the vision of Democratic triumph and that has been furnished by the man who was last twice honored by the Dem ocraic nomination for President.
 It is indeed worthy of note and re- 1ection that the bitterest protestants against the recent conduct and latest ut terances of William J. Bryan are the Democrats who gave him unreserved and enthusiastic support both in 1896 and in 1900 They are really more emphatic in LNElT Oi LIS ANCOidSAdn than any of the Gold Democrats who swallowed the ticket as bitter medicine. more scornful than those who scratched the ticket and more contumelious than even those who voted for Mckinley.
 The task, duty or venting of temper whatever 1t might be termed--is monopo- lized by the old Bryan Democrats. espe- cially those from the Southern States. For one thing they realize sense of justification for the old charge of the "Goldbugs'' that Bryan was always more Of Populist than a Democrat. for they sec 1t visible In his persistent clinging to Populistic doctrines that were lugged into the Democratic platform. while he devotes his most earnest efforts to de- crying eminent Democrats and ridiculing al ideas from Democrats that do not chime with his own conceptions of what constitutes true Democratic doctrine. For months that appears to have been his very chiefest concern-the vehement com hating of every concerted effort to bring

 Two other stone-laden steamers. be- Iieved to be the Otaru Maru and the saEami Maru. then entered the mouth of the harbor and sank. The Aikoku Maru then struck a mine, five cable lengths from the mouth of the pas- sage which exploded and ca1sed her to sink. The Lieutenant of this vessel Uchfda, Chief Engineer Aoki and eight men are missing
 A steamer thought to be the Asa Eawo Maru. which appeared to have her rudder broken. blew herself up at the foot of Golden Hill and sunk there.
 Vice. Admiral Togo in his report, says:
 This undertaking, when compared with the last two, resulted in greater casualties to our side. Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the in- creased preparations for defence com pleted by the enemy. we could save none of the officers or the crews of the Otaru Maru. the Sagami Maru. the Sae kura Maru or the Asagapo Maru It Is to be regretted that nothing partic- ular could be learned concerning the brave discharge of their duties. but the memory of their exemplary conduct will remain long in the imperial navy.
 The destroyer and the torpedo boat fiotillas besides resisting the enemy bravely. fought against wind and waves.
 s The torpedo boat fotiIla approached close to the mouth of the harbor and rescued more than half the men. Tor pedo boat No. 67 had. a steam nine broken by a shell and was disabled. but consort, torpedo boat No TO. went to her assistance and towed her away. Three of the crew of No. 67 were wounded.
 The destroyer Actaka had her lar board engine damaged by a shell and one sailor on board her was killed One sailor on board the Hayabusa was kill ed by shell.
 The third detachment. Rear Admiral Dewa commanding. reached Port Ar thur at o'clock Tuesday morning. The first detachment, under Vice-Ad miral Togo and Rear Admiral Nashf- ha, second in command, arrived off Port Arthur at in the morning for the purpose of protecting the destroy CT and the torpedo boat fiotillas and to search for the crews of the sunken merchantmen.
 The vessels of these attachments re- mained until o'clock on Tuesday af- ternoon but their search was fruitlegs. The day was foggy and it was impos- sible to observe the condition of the enemy.
 The attachments then returned to their base and since the morning of May they have been engaged in oth- CT operations

Bishop Mallalieu Preside5 Over the Session-Dr. Cook Springs Question of "Worship By
 Proxy"

Los Angeles, CaIif., May 1.-The Metho- dist General Conference today paid elo- quent tributes to the memory of William Mckinley.
 A resolution of admiration for McFin- ley presented by Rev. ]. w. E. Bowen, colored. candidate for bishop of Chatta- nooga, Tenn. struck responsive chord. and the conference adopted 1t by a stand- ing vote and referred 1t to the committee on episcopacy with instructions to pre- pare a memorial giving expression of hon. or and respect to the assassinated Presi- dent.
 The resolution dwells on the loyalty of President Mckinley to the Methodist Church. his cherished memory as q citi- zen and his great service to his country as patriot and statesman. william Mckinley set a standard of home devotion which never has been ex- celled.- says the resolution, and this sen timent was received with applause with the delegates.
 The session of the general conference was presided over today by Bishop Nal lalieu A large number of resolutions from the various annual conferences were received, discussed and referred to proper committees. A resolution to the effect that the episcopacy committee, which will consider the question of re- tirlng. increasing or diminishing the num- bef of bishops to be elected, be instructed to hold open sessions was tabled, as was also a resolution which forbids church publications from printing all advertise ments relating to the sale of individual communion cups.
 Dr. J. R. Cook offered a resolution to appoint special committee of seven to revise the rubrics of the ritual on the ad- ministration of the Sacrament. Dr. Cook sad that the language of this import ant paragraph fin the church discipline was not clear and he wanted to know ''how much more proxy worship Is to be introduced in the church" The reso- luton was> referred to the committed on revivals.

As soon as they were released. Lewis started to the police station, but Williams refused to accompany him. The police gave Lewis big meal and locked him fh the detention room until word is received from his father. Rob- ert Lewis, car inspector at Montgom- cry.

about party unity and harmony. The Re- publicans of late have escaped his pow erfm censure. and Democrats have in- cured the almost undivided weight of his displeasure
 The one man that he has not elimi- mated from federation whose name has been prominently mentioned fin connec- ton with the nomination at St. Louis Is William R. Hearst. whom Mir Bryan can but realize Is an impossibility. There are Democrats now about Washington. mein- bers of Congress and others who fol- lowed Silver Dick Bland in his earnest battles for free siiver and who well comed Bryan as a brilliant and vaiorous champion of the white metal who looked upon the Nebraskan as sincere enough to be martyr to any cause in which he believed, who now turn from his com duct with heart-sick repugnance and all most unspeakable impatience and dis- trust of his motives. Many look upon him as bent upon wreclxInE the Demo- cratic party, as willing to go to any ex- treme to make peace and harmony at St. Louis an impossibility. This is not the temper of the gold Democrats of 's6 and 1900 They appear to be satisfied with the thorough way in which MT Bryan is catching criticism from his former ad- mirers.
 It was plain enough to see that every one of the men who were silver men be- fore Bryan was ever heard to open his mouth in public on the money question has abandoned the idea of the free coin- ago of silver or deferred consideration of 1t most indefinitely. Every one of the Western Democratic Senators who came into the party from the Republicans on the free silver wave has long ago drop- ped all discussion of the question. Tel- Ter Patterson. Dubois. Newlands. Clark and Gibson are pronounced Democrats who treat as absurd any talk of reaf- flrming the Kansas City platform. These Senators are as deeply in earnest for Democratic success through harmony and unity at St. Louis as any from the South or East. They all favor the nomi- nation of Judge Parker, of New York. as answering every demand of availabil- ity. party loyalty and fitness for the of flee of President R. H. Watkins.
