CONFERENCE IN SIGHT
PACKERS AND STRIKERS MAY
GET TOGETHER IN EFFORT
TO END TROUBLE.

Chicago, ANE. 15.-On the outcome
Of a conference which may be held to-
day, the present chances of a settle
ment of the stockyards strike de-
ponds. The nature of this reported
conference is very indefinite. It is
asserted positively by some of the la
Dor leaders that a conference with
the packers will be held, but the pack
ers will not affirm or deny that such
is the case.
Saturday night it was reported that
a proposition had been made to j.
Ogden Armour just as he vas leaving
the city for Boston, and he suggested
that it be submitted to the other pack
ers. This, it is claimed, has been
done by the labor leaders and the con-
ference will be held Monday.
At a meeting of the market wagon
drivers held Sunday it was decided TO
declare a boycott against such retail
dealers as buy meat of the packers
where men are now out.
There was very little rioting in the
yards Sunday.

The following is a synopsis of the

1855 had been redeemed; second, that
prosperity had, come as a result; third.
that developments since 1896 had
shown the fallacy of the principles up
on which the Democracy then appeal
ed for public support; and fourth, the
conditions which had cocSe to other
parts Of the world and their people as
a result of promises fulfilled by the
party in the United States.
These assertions made in the text book
OF 1906 have been fully justified by the

years. The pledges of 1896 and those

HOLLANDS AlRsHIP.
Inventor Of Submarine Boat Believes

Inventor of Submarine Boat Believes
He Has Solved Aerial Problem.
John Holland, the inventor of the
submarine boat, is now having built
at a shop in Jersey City a machine
which the inventor believes not only
will solve the problem Of aerial flight,
but will enable a man to navigate the
air with much more ease and safety
than he can ride a bicycle. says the
New York Times.
This invention is the outgrowth of
many attempts by Mr.. Holland in past
years 10 arrive at a correct theory Of
flight. Back in the sixties, before he
contemplated the construction Of a SUBJ
marine craft, he built his first model
Of a flying machine, and this was fol-
lowed by several other models. but all
Of them were abandoned because, in
the inventors opinion, they were de-
signed on an principle.
The airship now approaching compile
ton is intended to carry n person.
The material used is the finest alumni
ium. The wires are steel and as light
as the strain upon them will permit.
The whole contrivance weighs exactly
twenty-six pounds.
The driving power will be purely
muscular, Mr.. Holland %contending that
man has enough physical energy to
propel himself through the air under
proper conditions at the rate of forty to
fifty miles an hour. On either side Of
the machine there will be a set Of
wings ten feet in length, operated by
four wheels. and these wings will be
moved up and down and otherwise con-
trolled at the will Of the driver.

TURKEY AT LAST YIELDS AND Ac.
cEDEs TO DEMANDS OF THE
UNITED STATES.
WARsHIPs TO LEAVE SMYRNA
ADMIRAL JEWELS SQUADRON
NO LONGER NEEDED At THE.
TURKISH PORT.

Constantinople, Aug. 15.--After pro-
longed pour parlers and considerable
haggling on the part of the Turks, Il
satisfactory solution of the American
school question has been arrived at.
This matter, which is the most inl-
portant of the American demands,
was settled by extending to Ameri-
can schools the same treatment as
that accorded to schools under the
protection of other powers.
A settlement of other matters at
fecting American interests in Turkey,
of secondary Importance, has also
been effected and Minister Leishman
has telegraphed to Rear Admiral
Jewell, in command of the United
States squadron sent to Smyrna, in
structing him to salute the batteries
on land and depart.
The sitting of the council of minis
ters at which the settlement was
agreed upon was a long II and it was
not until neal it's close that an agree
ment was reached. The delay in the
settlement is believed to have been
caused by the Intervention of the
palace functionaries, whose policy, in
order to retain the sultan's favor, con-
sists of combating the rights and
privileges of foreign subjects.
Washington, Aug. 15.-The depart
ment of state says that for many years
the treatment OF educational establish
ments in the Ottoman empire founded
and conducted by American citizens
has been very unsatisfactory. While
similar schools under the direction of
other foreigners have been recognized
as existing and have been accorded the
regular license or imperial firman up
on application therefor, applications
on behalf Of the schools under Ameri-
can control have passed unnoticed.
Temporary permits obtained from the
local authorities have been hedged in
with restrictions and have not infre-
quently been ignored by the Turkish
government. Difficulties and obstruc-
lions have constantly been put in the
way of the American teachers, in
marked contrast to the favors shown
the schools of other nationalities and
in contravention Of the rights of
American citizens in Turkey to the
most favored treatment accorded to
the citizens or subjects of other states.
Turkey having at last granted all
the requests of the United States gov
eminent, the American fleet will leave
Smyrna. Minister Leishman was or
dered to leave Turkey unless the sui
reply were favorable.
