MACHINE METHODS.

New Madrid Democrats had llt-
tie experience of machine methods
last Saturday that would be farcial
if they were not an exciting cause
of party disloyalty and an insult to
the Democrats who had been called
together at mass meeting to elect
delegates to the State nominating
convention.
About 200 Democrats had gath
cred IN pursuance to n call, and
stood around on the street inquiring
where the meeting was to be held;
but w. Conran, the chairman Of
the county committee, would not
give the desired information, and
about one o'clock it was given out
that it would he held on the street.
The crowd stood around eagerly
watching for the chairman of the
county committee to call the meet
ing together, but Il few minutes af.
ter two o'clock saloon keeper
rang a bell at the City Hall, aud
the crowd congrcgated there.
Chairman COnran called the meet
lug to order, and without etTrcting
Il temporary organization intro
duced Lieutenant Governor Ruby.
who made Il short address, and was
followed 10y j VI. Sallce, candi

Commissioner
The secretary then read the call
of the meeting, and Judge Riley
immediately moved that the tenn.
porary organization be made per
manent, although no temporary
organization had been effected.
Chairman Courau recognized the
motion, however, put the question
and, without waiting to hear any
one else, declared it carried Judge
Riley was on his feet again IN II
jltry and moved q. W Steel, Jas.
Conran and Circuit Clerk Jackson,
three HawscltcS, rs delegates To
the State convention. Chairman
COnran, who was also one Of the
men named rs delegates, put this
motion without allowing any other
to be- made, and amid storm of
noes declared it carried. The
chairman and his followers about
fifty in numhrr-theu walked out.
leaving ljG Folk men by actual
count in the hall. These organ
l2ed and elected three delegates.
The action of the chairman of
the county committee was irrirgu-
lar, II violation of all rules of pro-
ceedure, bold piece of uSurpation
aud disregard of the rights of the
people, an attempt to suppress a
free expression, and an outrage on
all that is fair and decent in poll
ties. The only way these delegates
can hope to be seated in the State
convention is, that the State Demo
cratic Committee may effect tenn
porary organization in the interest
Of such corrupt machine methods,
get committee on credentials of
the same character of delegates and
carry things through on high
pressure machine basis. And If
this is done, there will be a rumb.
ling heard over the State that will
poItend political earthquake.

to announce that on no account will Russia
be the first to sue for peace OF admit inter-
vention OF any sort. even from France or
other friendly nations. The statement
purports to be reply to the utterance OF a
member Of the Japanese Legation to the
effect that Japan was quite ready to listen
to overtures from Russia.
The Temps prints an interview with M.
Nagaoka, an attache Of the Japanese Lega-
ton. in which he Gays that the Japanese
have always reckoned upon the final battle
being fought at Hardin. The military
authorities prepared accordingly.
They are fully aware Of the difficulties Of
such an advance, and probably will not at
tempt it until the worst OF the winter il
over. Meanwhile the 100 900 troops who
were engaged at Liaoyang will be strongly
reinforced with men and guns. Japan is
prepared for a three years war and will
fight longer If compelled to do 30.

INJUNCTION FOR MINERS.
Federal Court Takes Action on Ono Phase
Of Colorado DepOrtatiOns.

DENVER. COL, Sept. Gin the Federal
District Court to-day the Western Fedora
ton of Miners was only partly successful
in its efforts to secure relief for the Inter-
state Mercantile Company Of Butte, owner
Of the union stores at Cripple Creek and
Victor, recently wrecked and its employees
deported by citizens. Judge Marshall's
order says:
THE wrongs inflicted upon the complain
ant, the Interstate Mercantile Company,
by the deportation Of it's employees, would
entail a series Of lawsuits to recover dam
ages for the wrong done. Hence a court
Of equity will step in and grant the relief
by an injunction against continuing
wrong. The order asking for an injuno-
ton to restrain the Citizens Alliance and
Mine Owners Association from proceed
ing with their depredations cannot be
done, because. being foreign corporation
they did not file their certificates with the
Secretary Of State. So far / will be able
to grant an injunction against the individ-
uals only.
The parties asking for the injunction
were in the possession of stock Of business,
and the right to carry on their business
is valuable right OF property, the depriva-
lions OF which were so serious that action
at law would not find compensation enough.
However the temporary restraining order
will be granted, because the allegations
show that the defendants have been
guilty of the wrongs ascribed to them"

SUBWAY NOT NEARLY READY.
R."T Boards Head Says This-But the
marlborough Was Ready to Use 1t.

President Alexander E. Orr OF the Rapid
Transit Commission made it clear yester-
day that to his mind the subway is not
near enough to completion to permit the
carrying of passengers.
II have been told, and my information
comes directly from the marlborough
company, Mr. Orr said yesterday to a SUN
reporter. that the subway Is 40 far I'M
finished that 1t will be impossible to attempt
to run passenger trains until the end Of this
month at the earliest, Until the commits
sioh gives permission the subway cannot
be- used for passenger traffic, and that
permission will certainly not be given until
the engineers of oirr board have certified
to ,R that everything has been finished
and that all the safety appliances have been
tested thoroughly.
This statement was made before the re-
suit of the conference between August
Belmont and the labor leaders was known.
Mr. Orr added that the possibility Of a
strike on the elevated system would not
prompt the commiss ion to hasten sanction
ing the opening of the road. for the reason
that the commissioners felt that they would

might happen to passengers.
Mr.. Orr, in answer to an inquiry, said,
however, that if the marlborough COM
pany applied for permission TO open the
subway at once to assist the travelling
public, the boards engineers, would hurry
their inspection of the tunnel to ascertain
II it might be used for passenger traffic.
The opinion was freely expressed down
at the marlborough companys office that
II II was desirable to open the subway,
a way to do 40 would quickly be found.

BUILDING TRADES PEACE.
New Plan OF the Alliance to End the war
With the Employers.

The Building Trades Alliance yesterday
took a step toward a settlement Of the
building trades trouble. A committee
of one from each union in the alliance,
appointed at a secret meeting last week
to decide upon a plan OF harmony, met
yesterday morning at Brevoort Hall and
drafted a modified plan OF arbitration
to be submitted to the employers
This plan was ratified at meeting Of
the alliance in the evening, and conferences
will be asked for to-day by the new peace
committee.
Whether the employers will agree to
meet the committees of the employees
will depend largely on whether the alliance
INSISTS on recognition. The employers
association has gone on record as refus-
ing to meet committee of the alliance.
The emergency committee of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association had
an unusually long session at the Bull ding
Trades Club Y esterday
Lewis Harding, chairman OF the press
committee Of the employers association,
was asked after the meeting what he had
to say about the new peace proposition,
-All the proposition before us yet" he
said, "is question by certain representa-
tive OF union in the alliance of member
Of the emergency committee asking II we
were willing TO agree to conferences be-
tween the individual unions and individual
associations Of employers. The reply was
that II the committees OF the unions asked
for conferences we would consider the
question. II reply in the affirmative
had been given, then the alliance would
likely have made q statement that we had
requested conference.
Consideration Of any peace proposition"
he added, must be preceded by COM
pete surrender OF the unions which have
violated the arbitration agreement Th5y
must take the same position az they had
before the arbitration plan was violated.
Further than that have nothing to say"

An American steamer has just arrived

These are being offered to the naval author

'The owners wish 10 sell the boats out
right to the Russian Government for q

the boats with their own crews and act

would require only one Russian officer on
board OF each boat as a supervisor, while
for every Japanese vessel sunk they would
require rs per cent. OF its registered value.
'The agents. however, have boldly assured
the authorities that the Baltic fleet. with
which they are anxious to cooperate, will
be at serious disadvantage because they
have sent another steamer with three sub

who will certainly take them"
