ANDREW GLEEsoN I'LL.
Suffers Stroke of Paralysis While at
Home.

Mr.. Andrew Gleason was stricken with
paralysis yesterday morning and is now at
his home No. 1915 North Capitol street, in
q critical condition. The attending physi-
clans, however, have strong hopes that he
will recover.
Mr.. Gleeson arose yesterday morning
seemingly in his usual good health. He ate

started across the room when he fell to the
floor. DIR. d. D. Mulcahay. who resides In
the house with Mr.. Gleeson, and the other
members of his family assisted him to a
couch. 1t was found that he was suffering
from a severe stroke of paralysis, which
had affected the entire right side, but he
was fully conscious and was able to make
his wants known. Dr. T. F. Mallan was
called in consultation and the physicians
did all that was possible to aid the stricken
man. Mr.. Gleeson's condition this morning

BIG STRIKE POSSIBLE
employees OF SOUTHERN RAIL
WAY WANT HIGHER WAGES.

The Southern Railway Company and the
machinists in its employ are preparing for
a fight to finish. The men went out on q
strike for an increase Of 2h cents per hour
in their pay about two weeks ago, and since
the refusal Of the machinists' committee
to accept the proposition OF the railway
officials to leave the settlement Of the ques-
tons in dispute to a board Of arbitration,
the railway company has been making
preparations to put non-union men in the
shops deserted by the striking mechanics.
All along the Southern system the railway
authorities are putting up quarters, fitting
them out with cots and other furniture, and
are hiring cooks, and, as previously stated
in The Star, non-union men have been run
in at several points, and the shops are said
to be partially at work. This system, 1t Is
| stated, the railway company will continue
until the places left open by the strikers
are filled.
The strikers are confident that the rail-
way company cannot secure enough nom
union machinists to do the work required,
and If they do. it is stated the boiler
makers, blacksmiths and other union men
will refuse to work with the non-union ma
chinists, and the strike may even involve
the engineers and other trainmen. At sew
eral points, according to advices received
by the representatives of the machinistS in
THIS city, SympatnetlC Strikes nave already
been inaugurated and this, they say, will
extend over the system.
Supported by International.
The striking machinsts on the Southern
have the support Of the International asso-
citation. and are receiving strike benefits
from it. The pay rolls are being made up
in this city. and the 700 men out will each
receive weekly sum, the married men
and those having families depending on
them for support getting 81 per week, and
unmarried men about SIS per week. The
Machinists' Association is large organiza-
ton, and, 1t is stated. has abundance of
funds at its disposal for a prolonged fight.
President O'Connell went to New York
yesterday on business for the association
and while there it is believed he will make
an effort to see President Spencer of the
Southern, and endeavor to reopen negotia-
lions looking to a settlement OF the strike.
The striking machinists feel much en-
couraged, as 1t is known that both the
Rock Island and the Canadian Pacific rail-
roads have within the past day or two
granted increases in pay to the machinists
employed by them, and the striking ma
chinists on the Southern feel that it will
| aid them to get that for which they are
making the fight.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Secretary Wilson Going to Iowa
Tomorrow
FOR CAMPAIGN SPEECHES
In Towns in His State Will Talk to
Farmers.
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
One Needed in Vacancy Made by Mr..
Robb's Promotion, Accord
ing to Mr.. Moody.
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL

Secretary Wilson has affairs in his de-
partment so well in hand that he will
leave Washington tomorrow night for
Iowa, where he will make a number of
campaign speeches to help along repub-
lican candidates for Congress who may
be in distress. Il am going to talk to the
farmers" said the farmer of the cabinet,
but he did not consider it worth while to
say exactly what districts he would talk
In. "Oh, in some little places that are
not much talked about" he went on. Il
have been working on this meat business
for the last four months, and feel as
though I'd like to go home for a little
while"
Farmer Wilson may be able to give
some help to the republican tickets in
his state. Governor Cummins is expected
to carry the state and most Of the repub-
lican nominees for Congress will be elect
ed, but the bitterness that resulted at the
time Cummins was nominated has not dis
appeared. Cummins is being supported by
many democrats, while many old-line re-
publicans are going to vote for the dem
ocratic nominee for governor. Some of the
elements of the fight are reaching into the
congressional districts. Cummtns and his
followers have never liked Representa-
tives Hepburn, Hull. Lacey and one or
two others in the delegation, and there
are threats of knitting in all directions.
Farmer Wilson hopes to aid in lining
up the republicans Of the state for all the
nominees of the party.
Secretary Shaw, whose antagonism to
Governor Cummins is well known, is max
ing speeches in all parts of the country,
but has not yet given much time to his
own state On the other hand Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks has been in Iowa and has
said some nice things about Cummins,
causing the insinuation that he is seeking
the support of Cummins for the presiden-
tial nomination two years from now. Mr.
Cummins is thought to have aspirations in
that direction himself, but as he would
have to encounter the candidacy of Secre-
tary Shaw he may not attempt to forward
his own interests to as great an extent as
now supposed, unless he establishes him
self more firmly In Iowa than at this time
understood.

To Investigate Cuban Finances.

]. D. Terrill, who has been chosen for
an important mission in Cuba, was
White House visitor today. Mr.. Terrill
has been for a number Of years the chief
law clerk of the office of the controller
of the treasury and Is an expert In ac-
counting. He was auditor for Cuba when
this country was in charge of the island
right after the conclusion of the Spanish
war His experience in Cuba and his apt
ness for the present work brought about
his appointment at this time. 1t is under
stood that the finances Of the Cuban gov
eminent became greatly tangled, and
there were charges of misrepresentation
of funds. Mr.. Terrill has been appointed
to go to Cuba and make most thorough
investigation as to the financial situation
Of the Cuban government at the time
this country took charge. He will take
with him a number Of experts connected

LABOR BODIES MAY MERGE.


indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 27ss-The fu.
ture Of the Amalgamated Woodwork
ers, long an important factor in the
world Of organized labor. is to be de
termined at conference which will
begin in this city tomorrow. The con
ference will. be between representa-
tives OF the carpenters and the wood
workers. and It Is regarded as likely
that the result will be the absorption
Of the woodworking members by the
carpenters. and the passing out OF ex.
istence OF the woodworkers' organi-
zation. The conference is the result
of an agreement reached at the last
convention Of the American Federation
OF Labor, and marks possibly the end
OF controversy that has been fought
through many conventions and has
long stood as one OF the chief iuris-
diction contests that has retarded the
organized labor movement.
