PEACE is IN SIGHT.
Dowie Is Willing to ReIinquish His
Claims on Payment of $1,o00,ooo.

Chicago, Ill.-Peaceful settlement
of the strife between John Alex,
ander Dowie and those of his follow
ers who recently rebelled under the
leadership of Wilbur Voliva is in
sight, according to statements made
last night by the legal advisers of
both Dowie and Voliva.
At the termination of Fridays CON
ference, which was participated In by
V. V. Barnes, legal adviser of Zion
City; Jacob Newman, counsel for
Voliva, and Attorney Wetten, repre-
senting Dowie, Mr.. Newman said:
"Dowie and his advisers admitted
to-day that we have in our possession
documentary evidence that 95 per
cent. of the Zion City properties be-
long to the Christian Catholic church,
and he has acquiesced in the PROPOSE
tion that if he is given per cent. of
this property, after he has bEen in
stalled in temporary control, both
ecclesiastical and financial, he will
retire.
I'm other words, Dowie desires to
be vindicated, to be reinstated with
full powers attending the first apos-
tleship of the Christian Catholic
church, whereupon he will issue an
edict declaring that 50 per cent of
the property of Zion City belongs to
the church and that 5 per cent. be
longs to Dowie This would give to
Dowie $1,00O,OOO and to the church
$19, 100000"

Cleaning" Policy.

indianapolis, Ind.-Indiana re-

port. Nominations will follow.
The resolutions committee, after a
session lasting three hours, modified
the plank endorsing the administra-
tion of Gov. Hanly which had been
agreed on by party leaders. The plank
as adopted by the committee follows:
"The present state administration
from its inception has stood for the
wise enactment of laws and the fear
less enforcement of laws enacted. 1t
has been and is characterized by jeal-
Gus regard for the tax paying public
and for the promotion of high stand
ards in the administration of public
affairs. The administration will long
be remembered by reason of the fidel-
ity and sturdy integrity of Gov. J..
Frank Hanly, whose administration
we most heartily and unreservedly
commend and endorse"
The committee also refused to al
low clause to appear endorsing the
house cleaning" policy of the gov
ernor. This sentence referred to the

THE TREND OF TRADE.
Conditions Throughout the Country
are Very Favorable.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Stringency in the money market
has caused no interruption to the
wholesale progress of trade industry,
although tending to develop conserva-
tism in speculative departments.
Weather conditions accelerate distri-
button of seasonable merchandise and
retail business is of large volume out
side the immediate vicinity of the
coal mines and few other places
where local controversies have their
Influence. Building operations are
only limited by the supply of labor
and material, V Itch causes frequent
delays and the heavy consumption of
all commodities is shown by the high
est level of quotations since Febru-
airy. 1884.
Manufacturing plants are fully en-
gagged; pig iron production is at the
maximum, shipments Of footwear
from Boston exceed those of any pre-
vious year and a stronger tone is re
ported at the textile mills
Failures this week numbered 1893 in
the United States, against 2li last
year, and 20 in Canada, compared
with 20 year ago.

FOURYEARS IN PEN
Men Convicted of Defrauding Uncle
Sam are MuiCted for the To-

Savannah, Ga.-Judge Speer in
the United States court Friday
sentenced Greene and Gaynor
each to a term of four years in the
penitentiary and to a fine of $575,-
1880, the amount each is charged
with having fraudulently obtained
from the government.
When the prisoners were brought
into court Judge Speer asked counsel
for the defense if they had anything
to say why sentence should not be
pronounced. Col. P. w. Medium
answered in the negative, wheroupon
the court imposed sentence. Each
defendant had been found guilty upon
all the counts of the three indictments
charging conspiracy, embeZzlement
and presenting false claims.
The sentences upon the three in
dictments were respectively two, four
and four years, but the court ordered
that these run concurrently, so that
the sentence was really for four years
Imprisonment is to be in the federal
prison at Atlanta.

THE VERDICT is GUILTY.
Greene and caynor Are Convicted of
Embezzlement and Conspiracy to
Defraud the Government.

Savannah, Ga. - After a trial
lasting more than three months,
Benjamin ID. Greene and John f.
GaynOr were on Thursday found
guilty on charges of embezzlement
and conspiracy to defraud the United
States government, by a jury in the
federal court. Judge Speer announced
that sentence would be imposed upon
them to-day.
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, of the en-
gineer corps of the army, who had
charge of the improvement works
here under the Greene and Gaynor
contract, was court -martialed for his
completely in the alleged frauds, and
was sentenced to be dishonorably dis
charged from the army and to five
years Imprisonment.
Greene, Gaynor and Carter we're
first indicted at Savannah in 1899.
Greene and GaynOr were arrested, but
resisted cXtradition to Georgia. When
a decision was rendered against them
they fled from New York to Canada,
forfeiting bail to the amount of $4O,-
600.
To avoid eXtradition from Montreal
they fled to Quebec to change the
legal jurisdiction. In May, 1902,
Greene and Gaynor were kidnapped by
a detective and taken to Montreal
that they might be extradited They
were committed to Jail, but Judge
Caron, of Quebec. granted writ of
habeas corpus and they were taken
back to Quebec and set at liberty. An
appeal was made to the British gov
ernment and decision was made in
favor of the United States. After
some litigation they were extradited
and brought back here in September,
1905.

Are to be Dealt with in
a Firm Manner.
GANGSFROM ITALY
Have Landed in This Country and the
Federal Authorities are Trying
to Arrest Them.

Washington, d. C.-Anarchism in
the United States will be put down
with firm hand. The information
which has reached the government Of
ficials here that large numbers of
Italian anarchists have arrived at San
Francisco and Baltimore has resulted
in the adoption of extreme measures
TO apprehend these men. While
many have arrived in Baltimore and
are making that city their headquar-
ters, number have gone to other
places and the police have been noti-
fed to be on the lookout for them.
1t was said Wednesday at the de
partment OF commerce and labor that
the Italian government, through its
consul at Baltimore, had furnished
the name of one man whom it regard
ed as particularly dangerous and the
immigration officials are bending
every effort to capture him. 1t is be-
lieved here that he is the ringleader
of the band that has come to this
country through the port Il Baltimore
and his apprehension is regarded as
of especial importance.
Some idea of the character of the
men with whom the department is
dealing may be gathered from a re-
cent incident in San Francisco. With
in the past month an Italian was re-
leased from prison in that city and
upon being questioned by the immi-
grafton authorities openly declared
that if he was allowed to pursue his
course he would kill the president of
the United States The man was
taken in charge, conveyed across the
country to New York and deported to
Italy. He would not disclose, how
ever, that he was a member of the or
CARNATIONS whose presence here has
become known.

In Anthracite Situation
Has Been Reached.
NEARING A CRISIS.
Miners Offer the Operators Their
Choice of Two Propositions
Regarding Arbitration.

New York.-At the meeting of
the subcommittee of the an
thracite mine workers and operators
here Thursday the representatives of
the employees offered the mine owners
the choice of two propositions in their
endeayOr TO come to an amicable
agreement and the employers made
an informal reply in which they init
mateS that they are not likely to ac-
cept either of the wage workers Of
fers. The operators will make an Of
fetal answer to the miners latest
proposition by letter, and there will
be no further meetings until some
thing develops.
While there is still hope that a
peaceful solution of the controversy
will be found, the meeting Thursday
did not bring the contending parties
closer together; in fact, they appear
to have almost reached the limit Of
their negotiations. If the operators
should decline to entertain either of
the propositions submitted by the
miners, it is probable a convention of
miners will be called at which the
delegates will declare that strike
exists.
Briefly stated, the offer made by
President Mitchell was a resubmis-
sion of the miners original demands
with two amendments, and in case
they are not accepted he proposes
that the whole controversy be placed
before the strike commission.
In one of the amendments the
original demands President Mitchell
drops the request for the recognition
of the union and provides that the
proposed agreement be made between
the operators and the anthracite
mine workers, instead of the United
Mine Workers of America. The other
amendment provides that. only en-
ployes who are willing, shall be as
sessed a certain sum each month to
defray the expenses of carrying out
the proposed checkoff agreement.
If the operators will not accept the
original demands as amended, the
miners propose that they (the origi-
nal demands as amended) and the op-
orators first proposition, which pro-
vides for a renewal for three years of
the award of the anthracite strike
commission, be referred for arbitra-
ton to the strike commission. Thus
the miners drop their second offer
which provided for arbitration by the
conciliation board, and ignore the
operators second proposition with
the exception of the strike commits
sion feature, which they accept.
