NEW FORK CITIZENS, UNION
Endorses Jeromc-Municipai Owneshir
 Sprung on Convention.

K New York, April 13.-An attempt to have the Citizens union, which met in city convention in Cooper union to- night to make preliminary plans for the municipal campaign, declare squarely in favor of municipal owner ship of public utilities, was prevented by the action of the chairman of the convention in referring the proposed amendment to q committee on plat form. The interjection of the muni- cipal ownership question into the con. vention created quite a stir and for several minutes a score or more of del- egates were on their feet clamoring for recognition.
 The resolution calling for Mir. Je- romes renonination was unanimously adopted.
 The convention assailed Tammany methods and also adopted resolutions denouncing various franchise measures before the state legislature.
 At the close of the convention, a lengthy address to the public was is- sued, r t #' n F..

IoUITABLE TO PAY MORE.
Increase of S4 Per Thousand of Insur-
 ance Cot Ofrered. .,

New York, April 13.-The Equitable Life Assurance society, through Gage E. Tarbell, it's second vice-president, has issued a circular to it's general
 agents indicating it's intention to pay
 $4 per thousand on new insurance, in
 addition to the commissions specified
 in their contracts. The circular con-
 tains the following: ..... x ! Realizing fully the difficulties under which you are laboring at present on account of the circumstances over
 which you have no control, and under
 standing that considerable of your time
 will be taken by interviews with policy
 holderr in giving them the information
 that they may desire, and that your
 work of securing business will be more
 difficult, entaling upon you additional expense, it seems entirely proper that we should do something at this time to aid you.
 We feel that you will appreciate this evidence of the society's desire to CO.,
 operate with you, and that you will work harder than ever to increase your business and maintain the society's prestige in your field" In explanation Of the circular MT.
 Tarbell said: Our agents have to live.
 The present trouble in this society has, Eof course, added to their work, and
 perhaps slightly cut down their in
 come. We have felt that it was not right that they should suffer for what is not in the slightest degree their
 fault. This extra compensation will
 only be paid through April, May and
 June. After that tipae the payments
 will go back to their old basis" Representatives of the Hyde party in
 the Equitable were quoted to-day to the effect that the real object of the circular is to bring into the society a
 large number of policy-holders favor able to the idea of company run by policy-holders, and who would be will ing to give proxies to the soliciting agent, to keep such a management in force. MT. Tarbell characterized this I,statement as absurd.
 President Alexander has acknowledg- ed the receipt of the communication from the Prick committee of investigat- ors, and has requested from each de- partment of the Equitable full reports in line with the demands of the conn n1ittee. It is understood that it will be weeks, and possibly months, before this full report can be made and presented to the Investigating committee.

 There is to be an issue of 15 per cent of stock made by each of the roads to be absorbed. That issue by the Chica- go and Northwestern is to go as an extra dividend to the stockholders.
 That issued by the New York Gen. tral will be sold to stockholders at 125 producing s2S,125,000 cash with which to make improvements already planned on the system. e..-.
 ''The total stock of both roads is then to be purchased by Union Pacific with bonds. The Central stock will be taken at 200 in a per cent. bond, and the Chicago and Northwestern at 300 with a31-2 per cent. bond. All these bonds have been underwritten and enough stock of both systems is pledged tc vote for the plan to carry it through. '

Jerome Repeats Statement-Did Not
 Believe in the People.

Syracuse, April 13.-District Attorney William Travers Jerome, of New York, was the guest of honor at the annual banquet of the chamber of commerce tonight. He spoke on "Idealisn in Business
 He said the municipal question was going to be the deciding factor in state and national life. He said the corrupt political life was but the reflection of the public sentiment. 'Too often," said he, "the idea of business is simply to make money. The statesman should, believe in the people. I have called Thomas Jefferson fakir, and repeat it. He was a fakir because he pre- tended to be a democrat, when in real- ity he did not believe in the people. TheO political machinery of to-day makes public career almost impossi- ble unless you bow to the will of a po- litical boss. There are no bigger cow ards in the world than politicians. You can take them by the throat and shake them until their teeth rattle if you only have the nerve"

CHICAGO STRIKE SITUATION.
Mayor Dunne's Effort to Effect Peace
 FaiIs for the Present.. s.@

' . . t.. GGs
 Chicago, April 13.--Mayor Edward F.. Dunne to-day again endeavored to effect peace between the contending sides in the labor trouble in, Chicago, but at the end of the day, after sev- eral conferences with labor leaders and representatives of the employers the situation was unchanged.
 Mayor Dunne tonight, however, was more hopeful of peace as the result of his efforts, and the peace negotiations will be continued tomorrow.
 The labor leaders declared today that they were willing to meet the employ CTS, but the latter declined the proposed conference and Mayor Dunne was fore ed to meet the opposing clements sep arately.
 While the peace negotiations were in progress to-day Montgomery Ward & Co. continued to make deliveries with non-union teanlsters. The service was interrupted by the strikers and their sympa athizers, who blocked the streets, making 1t an almost impossibiity for the caravans under the protection of platoons of police to pass through the streets. In several instances the crowds became so demonstrative that it was necessary for the police to use their clubs, and several of the disturbers were hurt in clashes with policemen. If the efforts of Mayor Dunne to bring about an amicable settlement of the diff ficulty fail, it is said tonight that many employers will form teaming company of their own to carry on their business.

NEW BATTLESHIP NARROWLY
 ESCAPES SERIOUS DAMAGE.


 It-Sends Down Diver Who Finds q
 Heavy Timber Stuck Fast to the Hull
 and Which Would Have BucISled Keel
 When the Vessel Was Lowered in
 Dry Dock.
 New York, April 1S.-During the pro- cess of placing the new battleship Con necticut in dry dock at the navy yard here to-day, what might have proved a serious accident was aVerted by the ac- ton of the officer in charge in sending down a diver to make thorough ex- animation of the hull before the water should be pumped out and the vessel lowered onto the keel blocks. The diver discovered a heavy timber stuck fast to the hull on the port side of the keel, where it had adhered to the rough plating while the vessel was on the ways, and had not been released in launching. ..-. I'd. A failure to have discovered the tim Der, it is said, would have resulted ill the buckling or crin1ping of the keel and lower frames when the vessel set tied on the blocks. The timber was re moved and the docking was completed without mishap. The Connecticut is about seventy-three per cent. complet- ed, or about four per cent. more than her sister ship the Louisiana, which is being built by private firm, and with whom there is a race. %.5 Several days previous to the launch ing of the Connecticut last fall there were rumors of attempts to injure the boat. Divers were sent down to exam inc the ways, and found large spike placed where it would have pierced the hull had it not been found. Later an official investigation disclosed holes bored in one of the plates. The ves- sel was launched, however, without any accident or mishap. t.-

UP GOES PRICE OF BEEF
CONSUMERS WILL TAPE TO PAY
 THE ADVANCE.
Packers Declare They Have Been seIl- ing at Loss for Six Weeks-Breed- CTS of Stock and Handlers of Range Cattle Holding Back Supply Until Grass Becomes More Nourishing.

Chicago April 1S.-Prices of beef have advanced in every important market of the United statesi The consumer is paying the advance price which to him represents several cents per pound over what he paid up to ten days ago. Swift & O., Armour and Nelson Morris state that no beef has been supplied to the retail markets of Chicago or to any other market of the country during the last month and a half. except with a loss. This, it is declared, has been partially due to the fact that the breeders of stock and the handlers of range cattle have been holding back on supply until the grass on the range be- comes nourishing. Swift & Co., speak ing for the packing interests, to-day is- sued the following statement;
 During the last six weeks the pro- ducer of beef cattle has been receiving about a dollar advance over past prices for choice cattle. This simply means that the advance to the consum- CT in prices would be about $2 on the one-half of choice cattle that can be used for food purposes. The range cat tie produced is the master of the situa- tion.' rN44. ..-r'-sA +, 5,.-

 Singapore, April 13.-The Russian fleet was in latitude 8 degrees north, longitude 10S degrees 55 minutes east at noon on April II. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Nubia, which has ar rived here, reports having passed not less than forty-two vessels there. They were steering north-northeast at a speed of eight or ten knots.
 The position of the fleet was then about 300 miles northeastward of the Natuna islands. which lie between the Malay peninsula and the west coast of Borneo, and more than 200 miles south- east of Cape St. Jacques. This course indicated that the fleet was not going to Saigon, French Cochin China.

The fact that he is keeping to the main trade route, although knowing that his squadron would constantly be sighted and reported by passing vessels, they consider clearly shows that the Rus sian admiral is keenly anxious to meet Admiral Togo and fight it out to a fin- ish. &
