The question of building I'LL near
Twelfth and Caldwell streets is no
nearer q settlement than it was at
first. The board of public works first
recommended it to the general cow
Gil several weeks ago. The TWO boards
concurred and il was referred to the
city engineer, who gave estimates of
the cost. These were reported and
the matter was then referred by the
general council back to the board of
public works. The latter not having
the money referred it &c the mayor,
and the mayor, IN order to get the
fluids, has in turn referred It to the
Illinois, Central railroad and the street

Ask That One of Them be Placed
on Hospital Board.
They Have no Fault to Find With
the Management But Desire
Representation.
A COMMITTEE WAS APPOINTED

The men employed in the Illinois
Central shops here want representa-
ton in the hospital association and
will request it ct the first oppurtuni-
ty, which will be at the next hospital
board meeting. or probably sooner If
the trades council decides that q COM
munication to the higher officials at
Chicago is advisable.
the tradesmen employed in the To-
cal shops are big factors in the main
tenance OF the hospital, and claim
they are not allowed representation or
voice In the management Of the hos
pital. The matter OF demanding q
representation has been under consid-
GRAFTON for several months. but moth
ing definite done until a committee
from each trades union was appoint
ed TO confer with the association mem
bers Of the higher officials. Here is
what one of the committeeman says
about the matter:
1--WE want representation on the
hospital board because we feel we are
the principal msinstay of the hospital
The hospital was built especially for
the employees of the road and is main
tanned by them by monthly assessment
made in proportion to the salary re-
ceived, and should be run by the en-
ployes. Employees receiving under
$40 a month pay 40 cents monthly to
the hospital fund. Under s75. 80
cents a month is paid, and over s75
fee of of 81 is paid. 1t is true that
the track employees contribute largely
to the fund but we shop men undoubt-
edly pay as much and . little more
than any other department of the
road and think we are justly entitled
to representation.
I'VE do not desire TO be understood
as finding fault with the manage
ment of the hospital, but will simply |
ask that we have some one one ap-
pointed on the hospital board"
The association board is now COM
posed of the division superintendent,
assistant superintendent,
master mechanic, one engineer, and
one conductor, and one or two higher
officials from the southern lines.
/ The railroad men say that the com
pany has let out from the association
Engineer MCGUIRE and Conductor John
Whedon. leaving the management of
he hospital in the hands of the rail.
road officials entirely and this seems
10 have caused the action taken by the
trades council which will demand
new board.
The shop men want the board to
consist of eleven men, three company
men and eight shop tradesmen. They
tate that il the company refuses to
grant this the shop men and other
employees who have entered into the
agreement, will discontinue paying
ees for the hospital support and let
he courts settle whether the shop men
ire entitled to representation OF not.
The employees claim the hospital
was bought by fees paid by
he employees.
The committee has asked for con.
erenoe but no return has been made
" the railroad company. The matter
s causing much agitation in railroad
iroles and the outcome is watched
With unusual interest.

Notice has been received by local
insurance men of the withdrawal Of
the Illinois Life Insurance company
from Kentucky because of the heavy
tax in the shape of licenses and taxes
imposed by the state. The company
has been writing no new business for
some time, and there has been no agent
for it in Paducsh since Mr.. CHARLES
Earhart left several months ago. 1t
would seem that some insurance com
panies do not look with much favor
upon Kentouky. The various towns,
insurance men claim, impose exorbi =.
tant licenses upon agents, which add.
ed to the state taxes, make the ex-
pense of operation exceedingly bur
densome The National Life Of the

EXPECTED TO RELEASE THE MA
LACcA IN ACCORD WITH
BRITISH DEMAND.
STATUS OF CASE OFFICIALLY STATED
ASSURANCE ASKED THAT NUM-
TIoNS WERE ENGLISH Gov
ERNMENT STORES.

st. Petersburg, July 22.-The Asso
ciated Press has an excellent reason
for stating that Russia will yield ir
the Malacca case, release the steamer
in accordance with the British demand
and express regret at her detention.
The exact status of the case at pres
ent is as follows:
Count Benckendorff, the Russian am.
bassador to Great Britain, has asked
of Lord Lansdowne official assurance
that the munitions on board were Brit.
ish government stores. If this is given
lease the vessel. At the same time
Great Britain will be notified that
ships stopped by Russia whose mani
tests are not in order will be held.
Russia will maintain the legality OF
the status of the Smolensk and St. Pc
tersburg as warships. They are under
the orders of the admiralty and were
commissioned by the admiralty's in
Structions. Under the regulations OF
the volunteer feet Russia claims that
ships belonging thereto can be con.
verted into Warships without previous
notice, upon orders from the adml
falty.
The suggestion is made that if Great
Britain persists in raising the issue
OF the status of the volunteer fleet
cruisers now in the Red sea, Russia
will offer to refer the case to the ar
bitration tribunal at The Hague.

WILL RESIST CUT IN WAGES
THIRTY THOUSAND COTTON MILL
OPERATIVES AT FALL RIVER
DECIDE TO STRIKE.

Fall River, Mass, July 22.-The sen.
timent displayed by the cotton mill
operatives of this city following their
vote of about to / in favor of strik
ing next Monday against the 121h pei
cent reduction in wages, seems more
bitter against the manufacturers thar
at any time in recent years. Unde:
the restrictions of secrecy prior to
their meeting the operatives had not
been generally outspoken. With the
removal of that bar torrent of indig-
nation has been released and there is
row no doubt in the minds of citizens
that the action in joining the strike,
if it takes place next Monday, will be
nearly unanimous among the 10000
mill hands.
The general sentiment seems to be
one of sympathy for the operatives.
The gravity of the situation is recog.
nized and business men are blue.

WILL RECTIFY ANY MISTAKE
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO LON.
DON CoNI=ERs WITH FOR
ElGN SECRETARY.

London, July 22.-The Associated
Press learns that Count Benckendorff,
the Russian ambassador, at confer.
ence with Foreign Secretary Lans.
doWne, made what may be considered
to be preliminary reply to the Brit.
ish protest against the seizure of the
steamer MaIacca. He assured the
foreign secretary that his government
had no intention of infringing on the
rights of Great Britain or any other
neutral power and that if a mistake
had been made in the seizure of the
Malacca unquestionably the steamer
will Immediately be restored and dam.
ages would be paid.
The ambassador pointed out that it
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without the
commander of the ST. Petersburg hav-
ing good grounds to believe that she
had contraband on board. Unless this
suspicion is effectually disproved the
matter will have to go before prize
court, which procedure Great Britain
herself follows.
In the meantime Russia will make
full Investigation in order to establish
definitely the grounds on which the
commander acted. The ambassador
also informed Lord LansdoWne that he
had telegraphed the British protest
to st. Petersburg and said it would re.
ceive the immediate attention OF the
emperor and Count Lamsdorff Subse-
Quently Count Beckendorff informed
Lord LansdoWne that inquiries were
at once begun and that prompt reply
would be made.

SHEEHAN SECOND CHOICE.

Wanted for Democratic Chairman if
German Declines.
New York, July 22.-If Senator Cor
man will not take the chairmanship
of the Democratic national committee
the men who have been pushing him
for the place will turn their attention
to William F. Sheehan and try to Sc
cure his election by the national COM
mittee. The friends of Judge Parker
are anxious to have Mr.. German, but
they recognize that his declination
means that the place cannot be forced
upon him. They say, however, that
Mr.. Sheehan must accept if Judge Par
ker insists, or if his immediate advis-
ers say that he must take the place.
The reason why either German or
Sheehan is preferred over Thomas
TaggaYt of Indiana is understood to
be because of the belief that either of
them would be able to command the
attention of Eastern business men and
secure a large campaign @und. While
the judges advisers say that Tag
gart will be amply provided for in an
advisory capacity they think that eth
er German or Sheehan, with the wide
knowledge they have of campaign
methods in the East, would be better
able to conduct the campaign.
