LABOR WINS
BIG VICTORY
All Railroads to Pay
Increase of Ten
Per Cent.
pennsylvania SET RATE.
Of Advance-.-All Other De-
mands Must Be Laid
Aside For Present.

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 16.-The Record
Herald today says.
The railroads of the entire country
stand ready to accept the standard of
wages set by the Pennsylvania road
and to grant all employees 10 per cent
Increase in lieu of all other demands.
This would affect nearly 100000 EN-
ployes and would aggregate between
eighty-one and eighty-two million dol
lars annually. This the railroads are
ready to grant providing the employees
accept 1t and cease for the time be.
ing further demands for an increase
in all branches.
Concession Will Cut Down Dividends
on Stock.
The magnitude of this concession
to labor is understood when it is stat
ed that it will amount to a dividend of
nearly Ia per cent on all the capital
stock for the entire railroad systems
Of the country and nearly 81 per cen
of the amount of dividends declared
and paid on that stock for the year
l905.'

CAPTURED BY CAVALRY

Nipped in the Bud.

A dispatch from st. Micheals, Arizona,
tells OF the arrest Of lis Moqui Indians
on Monday last by Lieutenant j. n.
Lewis, commanding Troop X, Of the
Fifth Z. $. cavalry stationed at For,
Wingate. The Indians were captured
by the csvalry at the pueblo Of Oraib,
on .he Moqni reservation. The arrests
by the military are the result Of long
standing trouble between the two poll
tical factions Of the Moqnis which has
recently eliminated in open warfare
between two parties, one OF which drove
the other from the pueblo because OF
tribal dispute over the education Of
children and the adoption Of the white
mans customs. 1t is not known what
disposition will be made Of the prisoners.
but it is thought they will be taken to
Fort Wingate for the time being and
there Kept until measures can be deter
mined upon by the Indian officials which
will permanently settle the trouble.

Plot to Prevent Launching Of Sat.

on Outcome.

Toxic, Nov. 16.-An extraordinary
story is current here of bets having
been laid by foreigners in Yokohama
against the successful launching of
the battleship Satsuma at Yokohama
yesterday and of the attempts to make
the launching a failure. About $4,000
is said to have been wagered at odds
of Z to 3 against the successful launch
ing and workmen, it is reported, have
been bribed to place impediments in
the slip. Detections the day before
the launching, it is added, led to the
discovery and the workmen have been
arrested, but their examination to as
certain their connection with the al
legged betting syndicate has thus far
been inconclusive.

MORE STANDARD
OIL EXPOSURE
By Attorney Gen
eral Lightfoot
of Texas.
WATERs.P|ERCE COMPANY
Implicated in Combine to
Control Oil Market in
Lone Star State.

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 16.--Five wit.
nesses have been examined by AS
sistant Attorney General Lightfoot of
Texas in secret hearing In the TAX
ing of depositions relevant to suit
to oust the WatersPierce Company
from Texas and the examination OF
two more witnesses today completes
the present hearing. Lightfoot will
return to Texas tonight.
Connection Shown Between Two Con.
Germs.
A learned examination developed
from the testimony that connection
existed between the Standard Oil
and the Waters-Pierce companies and
that in certain sections of Texas
which We're covered by the Waters
Pierce Company unusually strong, all
competing forces were destroyed By
the Standard Oil Company.
Smaller Concerns Could Not Secure
Oil.
The witnesses testified that the
Corscinia Oil Company and the Sc
curity Oil Company at Beaumont. two
refineries owned by the Standard, did
not sell to companies competing with
the Waters-Pierce Company and that
in return the latter company purchas-
ed all the oil sold in the state of
Texas from these two retineries. II
also developed that maps showing the
division in the territory covered by
the Waters-Pierce and the Standard
were prepared at 26 Broadway New
York and distributed over the terri
tory covered by the two concerns.
