Ex.President Bigelow Got Ten Years
 In Prison.
 MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 12.- Frank G. Bigelow, confessed defauiter in the sum of $1, 800 OO0 of the funds of the First National bank of Milwaukee while president of the bank, pleaded guilty to an indictment of ten counts, each count violation of the national banking laws, and was sentenced by United States District Judge Joseph V. Quarles to ten years imprisonment at hard labor in the federal peniten- tiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
 Judge Quarles in passing sentence dwelt on the circumstances surround ing the case and with emotion referred 10 his own long personal friendship for Bigelow. Bigelow was visibly affect cd, although he bore himself with re- markable fortitude.
 Bigelow confessed he had misdirect. ed the funds of the bank and that an examination of his books would show that he was indebted to the bank for more than $1, ,450,000.
 The money, he said, had been lost in speculation in wheat and stocks and that not dollar of it could be recov- cred.
 He was formerly president of tho American Bankers association. It was also alleged that he had caused a shortage in the funds of various great estates which he managed.

THE BIG THREE.
Who Are Looking for a Large Municipal Con.
 tract at New York.

New York, June 12.-Thomas F. Ry- an, Peter A. B. Widener and Edward J. Berwind are acording to the Herald, the three capitalists who compose the mysterious metropolitan syndicate Which is to bid for the construction of the extensive subways laid out by the Rapid Transit commission. Consid- erable secrecy has heretofore sur rounded the identity of the men com posing the syndicate whose operations were to have been directed by Secre- tary of the Navy Morton had he not taken up the chairmanship of the Equitable Life Assurance society.
 It is further asserted by the Herald that the syndicate will enter the rapid transit field in this city with com bined capital of $l0OOO0,OOO, each member contributing one third of that amount.
 MT Ryan and MT Berwind are well Known ill New York's financial affairs and Mir Widener is one of the wealth. fest men in Philadelphia.
 The routes for which the syndicate will bid have already been laid down by the Rapid Transit commission, and it is estimated that the total cost of building all the proposed lines will reach $150,OOO.OOO. The contract will probably not be let before November.

A HORNETS NEST
Stirred Up by H. II. Judas Letter in the Demo.
 crat Saturday.

The communication of Henry NJ. Judd which appeared in Saturdays is sue of the Democrat relative to the po- litical situation. has aroused q good deal of comment, and many are curi- ous to know what the gentleman meant by stating that he and other cid time republicans stand ready to vote with the democrats this fall provided they cut loose from rum" Can it be possible that the gentleman is not aware that democrats who wanted a little of the hard stuff at the last city election had to beg 1t from the other fellows and that some went so far as to insinuate that one of the republican headquarters was nothing short of a first class saloon from the time the polls opened until the last volley was fired. But, in any case, if the demo- crats managed to conduct the affairs of the city in the past in a manner which pleased Mir Judd much better than the present administration he ought to have horse sense enough to see that 1t is his plain duty to vote for them even though he might think that some of them take smile" now and then.
 Mir Judd like many other very good citizens is appalled, at the way the busi- ness administration is handling public affairs and thinks every day year until the reins of government is taken out of its hands and entrusted to more conservative officials, but if he means what he says. and no doubt he does, he should not allow himself to be deterred from carrying out his good intentions through fear that there is more rum used by democrats than others. Most of the boys, republicans as well as democrats take little stimulants, es- pecialfy on election day, but if they don't keep it up and get muddled so that they are not capable of giving first rate service to the public nobody cares. A crowd of temperance cranks who would run the city into debt with out giving good return for the money expended would be as dangerous as any other body of officials that would properly safe guard public interests even though they might not all be to- tai abstainers. But in the main Mir Judd is right and he needn't think that he Is the only dye in the wool republican who doesn't know how to account for the conduct of the business admins traitor which was expected to show everybody how to run the affairs of the city in a way which would bring the blush of shame to their predecessors and set high water mark for all who would come after them. They are all good men. hut somehow they have turn cd out to be a costly experiment and from all accounts the taxpayers will gladly give as many of them as can be reached long leave of absence at the next municipal election.

TO DISCUSS STRIKE.

Chicago. June 12.-The teamsters strike will probably be discussed at the third annual convention of team owners of the United States which opened here to-day. More than 100 delegates representing associations or employers in New York, Boston, Min neapolis, St Louis. Des Moines, Grand Rapids and Philadelphia have arrived to participate in, the sessions.
 With the possibility of extension or the strike out of the way for the pres ent at least, there was nothing in sight today to warrant the belief in any change in the situation. No peace negotiations were in prospect. and It looked as though the strike would be allowed to drag along.
 No new moves of importance were contemplated by either strikers or en- ployers.

DUNNE AND JOHNSON
 HAVE A CONFERENCE.
The Mayors of Chicago and Cleveland Talk About huni cipal Ownership-Dunnes Statement About Next Democratic National Platform-Status of the Strike in the Windy City at Present.

Cleveland, O., June 12.-Mayor Ed ward F. Dunne of Chicago and Clar- ences $. Darrow, his legal advisor ln street car municipal ownership mat ters, left here last night for Chicago after two days conference with May or Tom l.. Johnson.
 Ill attendance was A. E. Dupont, the builder of the Detroit railways and more recently at the head of the street railway system of St Louis. Another street railway manager of nationad reputation was present, whose identity was not revealed.
 Professor l.. w. Bemis, superintend- ent of the Cleveland water works, a municipal ownership expert: Frederick C. Howe and Newton D. Baker also attended the conferences.
 The street railway experts were pres ent at the request of Mayor Dunne, who hopes to bring about municipally owned street railways in Chicago.
 It was reported yesterday that the management of the Chicago railway system, when it is finally secured by the city, has been offered to Mir Dupont as the expert to direct the operation of the lines, plan admitted to be neces- sary by both Mayor Dunne and Mayor Johnson if municipal street railway operation is to be success. The con nection of Mir Dupont's name with the management of the Chicago lines was emphatically denied by both mayors. Mayor Dunne tried to keep his visit from the public.
 To-day Mayor Dunne made the state ment without qualification that the next democratic national platform would have plank calling for the gov ernment ownership of railways. The conferences of Saturday and yesterday were partly along these lines.
 Mayor Dunne, supported by Mayor Johnson, will go into the next national convention to make fight for the gov ernment ownership plan. It is be- lieved that they will have the support of William Jennings Bryan, who has already emphatically declared for gov ernment ownership of railways.

NO HITCH IN THE
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Minister Lamsdorf Notifies Continental Powers That Meetings of the Plenipotentaries Will Soon be Held Minister Wite Leaving St Petersburg on Public Business Is the News Sent Out To-Day.

St Petersburg, June 12.-All the at fempts to create an impression that there is the slightest hitch in the pre- liminary negotiations are absolutely without the shadow of foundation. Foreign Minister Lamsdorff has for mally notified several of the continen- tai powers that a meeting of plenipo- tentiaries to. see whether it is possible to agree to terms of peace is assured. Now that Russia has received formal. notification that Japan has sent an official and favorable reply to Presi- dent Roosevelt, the Russian official, reply will be forwarded, and the Asso-. ciated Press feels it is in position to state positively that it will fully re- spond to the presidents message. There does not seem to be the slightest warrant for the gratuitous idea that some correspondents are putting out that Russia is only desirOus of ascer- taining the Japanese conditions and at the same time gain better position for her army in Manchuria.
