LAKE MASTERS NEW TACK
Affiliation with Labor Unions to Sc.
cure Added Strength.


Cleveland, June 7.-Telegrams were
sent to all harbors Of the Masters and
Pilots association by District Captain
be taken on the proposition to affiliate
the organization with the American
Federation Of Labor. Affiliatton with
the federation will give the masters
and pilots the support Of the sea-
mems, engineers, 'longshoremen's and
several other unions, all Of whom, If
called upon, 1t is said, would go out
on strike.
Out of 1,S00,~votes cast there were
but 81 dissenting. The result thus
far Is so largely in favor Of the propo-
sition that should all the remaining
harbors vote against it the result can
not be negatived.
The next step in the conduct Of the
ably will be to call a meeting here Of
the leaders of the other lines Of lake
and dock labor involved which are
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor and discuss the best
method Of continuing the strike or
bringing about arbitration. The Off
Gals of the masters and pilots are
more hopeful, in view of this latest
move, that arbitration is now more Of
probability than heretofore.
The most serious break in the local
end Of the tie-up is the withdrawal
Of twenty or more captains from the
will report for duty at once. A MEM
Der of the Lake Carriers association
says they expect to have seventy
boats In commission by Wednesday,
some Of them among the largest on
the lakes.

THROWN
OVER IN IDAHO
Silent Candidate Sacrificed by
Dubois for an Anti Polygamy
Plank.
Special to The Journal.

0peClal 70 Ano Vourudl'
Weiser, Idaho, June 7.-Senator Du-
bois sacrificed Parker for an anti
polygamy plank in the state conven-
ton yesterday. AS a result Dubois will
head the Idaho delegation to st. Louis
The delegation is instructed to support
Hearst so long as in the judgment Of
the delegation there Is a chance to
nominate him.
The Hearst forces, headed by former
Senator Henry Heitfeld, offered a deal
with Dubois whereby the Hearst
strength went to the anti-polygamy
plank in consideration Of Dubois
abandonment Of Parker. This gave
the Hearst men undsputed control of
the convention. Several Of the dele
gates to the national convention are,
like Dubois, lukewarm in their feel
ing toward Hearst.
The anti-polygamy plank was bit
terly fought and the debate on the
question was savage at times. The
Mormon element lined up solidly
against it. Former Congressman LATE
Pence of Colorado, now resident Of
Idaho, acted as Dubois lieutenant in
! which pledges the delegates to the ma
| tional convention to use every honor
able means to have inserted in the
national platform a plank advocating
an amendment to the constitution OF
the United States to suppress
polygamy and unlawful cohabitation
The delegates to the national con-
vention are: Senator Fred Dubois
Henry He1tfeldt Frank w. Hunt, w
W. Woods, Timothy Peagan and J. w
Ballentine.
ST Donnelly, chairman Of the state
committee, was elected national com
| mitteernan.

BADGER CONFLICT
UP TO COMMITTEE
Payne Has Rival Claims to Seats
in Republican Convention
at Chicago.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

washington.
washington, June Postmaster
republican national committee, has
received sopies Of the official state
ments filed with the national commit
tee by the stalWart and half-breed fac
tions of the republican party in Wis
consin.s The documents are very volu-
minous and go into the history of the
two conventions at Madison with great
minuteness, as well as into the action
Of the state committee in making up
the convention roll on the day pre-
ceding the convention.
The stalwarts allege that the COM
mittee usurped the functions Of the
convention; that, not content with ex-
aiming credentials and making up a
temporary roll from those possessing
credentials correctly certified and ac-
companying it with such recommen-
dations as it saw fit with regard to
the seating of the holders of contest
| ed seates, 1t seemed to adjudicate all
| contests, seated such as it pretended
| to believe were entitled to seats, and
made no report to the convention on
| the claims Of those to whom it de-
| MED seats; that it arranged for the
! temporary organization Of the con-
vention secretly and with the assist
| anCe Of majority on the floor OF
the convention forced thru It's slate.
| The stalWarts contend that, Of q
total Of LOGS delegates, only nine
seats were in the true sense Of the
word contested, and that, eliminat-
ing them, the remainder, 1,056, stood
533 stalwarts and 523 halfbreeds.
| The "half-breeds'' maintain that the
central committee was entirely within
it's prerogatives in judging contest:
and in seating in the convention those
who in it's Judgment were entitled tt
SEATS They further assert their RICH
to effect the temporary organization
and believe that all the proceeding!
Of their convention were regular.
Two solutions Of the problem which
| will confront the national committee
at it's meeting next week are discussed
here, in addition to the possibility O
one side or the other being able t,
make a convincing showing. One i
that all delegates at large will be seat
ed, half a vote being accorded eacl
one. The other is that the nationa
committee, unable to determine tn
i precise merits Of the contests, will
assume that the election Of distric
delegates furnishes criterion b,
which to judge the wishes Of the re
publicans of Wisconsin and will there
. fore seat three "stalwart'' delegates a
large and one "half-breed."

Indications at Chi-fu Point to Naval
Battle in Pe-cfi-H Gulf.

Chi-fu, June 7.-s p. m.-An tms
preston prevails here that a naval
battle took place last night in the gulf
of Pe-chi-li. Passengers on steamers
passing Liao-tiesham promontory al
the time did not hear any firing while
reports come from Teng-chow Of
heavy firing being heard there from II
o'clock last night until 2, o'clock this
morning. Vessels from the Miao-ta.o
island confirm this report and SO do
the residents of hills in the vicinity Of
this city who heard the firing and saw.
flashes out at sea during the night.
The fact that the Russians were ems
deavoring on June to clear the road
steads off Port Arthur Of mines i'm
dicates an Intention upon their part to
give battle outside the harbor upon
the first favorable opportunity.
A Japanese correspondent returning
from Talien-wan says there is per-
sistent rumor there that the Japan
csc battleship Yashima struck a mine
off that port recently and was sunk.
Chinese arrivals from Talien-wan are
unable to confirm the story.

New York, June 1.-THE Parker
candidacy has not been helped greatly
by the action of the Georgia state con-
vention, which, after hard fight, in
structed Its delegates by a narrow
margin to vote for him. If Georgia
had failed to instruct, Parker would
have been hit a body blow, for it was
Georgia which first encouraged his
candidacy and gave his northern
friends to believe that he was a IA
vorite In the south, and that indorse-
ment Of him at Albany would be
quickly followed by Endorsement in all
the southern states.
Perhaps this would have been the
result had the Albany convention been
more nearly unanimous. The cat and
dog time the democrats had at Albany
caused the party at large to hesitate
about Endorsement, and Georgia is one
Of the few southern states to say Of
ficially that it's choice is Parker, not
withstanding the New York split.
Just at this time an attempt is being
made to create a combination Of
ocrats against Parker, and if it suc-
Deeds his case will be we'll nigh hope
less.
Senator German, accompanied by
Colonel Guffey, who controls the
Pennsylvania delegation, and Senator
Bailey of Texas spent several days in
New York recently in conference with
emocratic leaders Of that state. Pre-
cisely what was accomplished, If any
thing, cannot be ascertained definite
ly, but the impression created is that
Gorman,, Guffey and Bailey tried to
explain to the New Workers that
Parker ought not to be nominated.
Obviously, this combination would
turn, first to German, and after him to
some dark horse, presumably G. A.
Towne.
Mr. Towne has been spending a
great deal Of time in Washington OF
late, and he has had frequent confer
ences with German and with we'll

Winnipeg, Man., June 1.-THE in
quiry into infringements Of the alien
labor law by the Grand Trunk was
opened in the kings bench this after
noon. Only four. witnesses were exam

went to show that Canadian or English
engineers were never employed where

Former friends Of Chief Engineer

from the Northern Pacific were
brought here at the expense Of the
company. In one case an American
employee was transported free Of cost

According to tbs evidence OF Kyle
the imported natlR was usually paid

Judge asked if any engineers were
left on that road. The exception was
a lad employed at 500 month as

same money now as when employed by
the Puget Sound Power company, and

The evidence of Kyle as to Canadian

favor was that they worked satisfac.
