TO MAKE DEMANDS.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 11.-Delegates
representing the machinists union of
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Eastern Ohio assembled in con-
ferences at the Hotel Griswold today
in response to call recently issued
by the district coucil of the Interna.
tional Association of Machinists. The
purpose of the conference, as set forth
in the call, is merely to lay plans for
a closer organization of the craft. 1t
is believed. however, that in reality
this is but a step preliminary to a
general demand to be made by the ma
chinists for increased pay and better
working conditions after May /. The
local machinists already have decided
to present an ultimatum to employers
for a minimum rate of 40 cents an
hour and 50-hour week and it is
probably the example will be follow
ed by the locals throughout this Sec
tion.

BOILER EXPLODED
Killing Two Men and Nearly
Setting Fire to the
Town.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Metuchen, N. j., March 1.-Two
men were killed and a number of
others were hurt and Metuchen was
shaken and threatened with many
fires today when the boiler of a loco
motive on the Pennsylvania railroad
exploded while drawing freight
train through the town. The dead are:
VIM. j. Sisher, engineer, Philadel.
phia.
s. c. Smith, brakeman, Trenton, n. j.
The train was passing through the
city under good headway and when
just opposite the railroad station, the
boiler exploded. Portions of the boil
er was blown two blocks away and
tore through buildings. The bodies of
engineer Sisher and Brakeman Smith
were found hundred yards from the
railroad tracks. Many of the freight
cars were piled in a heap, and several
of the train hands were injured, but
none seriously. The broken cars
caught fire, but the blaze was soon
extinguished. A portion Of the loco
motive was blown into Hahn's Drug
Store, two blocks from the track and
another piece of steel entered Nc
Cutcheon's pharmacy. Both stores
were set on fire simultaneously, but in
neither case was there any serious
loss.

nor-Case viii Be Appealed By the
Railroads to the Highest Courts II
Necessary.

Associated Press to The Hvenint Times.
Omaha, March 11.-It is authorita-
lively announced In a private report
of an ofilcial character from Chicago
that the railroads of Nebraska will
contest the ,2-cent fare law which the
legislature enacted a week ago, and
the governor signed last Wednesday
at midnight, placing it in effect at
once. The roads are now preparing
to carry the case to the courts and
there make a vigorous contest to de-
termine the validity Of the new law.
When the law was enacted 1t carried
an emergency clause which provided
for its operation upon its being signed
by the governor or within five days
without his signature. The governor.
George L. Sheldon, though elected by
the republicans upon so-callei anti
railroad platform last fall, on the
stump during the campaign advocat-
ed graduated scale of fares, rather
than fiat 2-cent law, believing the
latter would be confiscatery in many
cases of small or branch roads. So
when the legislature passed the bill
providing for fiat 2-cent rate, Gov.
Sheldon hesitated to sign the bill,
thinking to be consistent with his pre-
election course. But when he con-
sidered that without his signature the
law might be unconstitutional owing
to the wording of the emergency
clause he decided to sign it rather
than place himself in the way of what
the majority of the legislature had
deemed wise measure.

A.seciated Press Gable to The Evening
st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE low
er house Of parliament reassembled
this morning in sections for the exam
ination of the credentials of members.
Protests were submitted against the
election of the entire deputations from
Bessarabia, Poltava, Minsk, Mohileff,
Novgorod, Voronezh, Kazan, Kherson,
and the city OF Kishinev. The con-
servatives challenged the elections of
members from Kursk and several
other provinces but with no chance
Of unseating them.
The radical parties are hopelessly
at odds regarding the manner of rails
ing the question Of amnesty. The Soc
ialists persist in forcing it immedi-
ately to the front in the form of an
open declaration to the people, which
practically would be an appeal for a
revolution. A caucus of social revolu-
tionists and the members Of the
peasant league last night rejected this,
as we'll as the proposition to make an
appeal or demand to the emperor on
the subject, and it was decided to in
troduce a regular bill providing the
amnesty for political prisoners. This
undoubtedly is unconstitutional, and
hence ia unacceptable to the consti-
tutional democrats, who are anxious
to observe the forms Of legality.

RANGE WAR.

AsSoe1ated Press to Tho Evening Times.
Cheyenne, Wyo., March 11-Northern
Wyoming is threatened with another
range war between cattle and sheep
men. Closely following the attack on
the Wisner camp last week in which
400 head Of sheep were killed and the
camp burned, comes report of a gen.
eral outrage in the Owl Creek coun-
try. The Hugh Dickey sheep camp
was attacked by band of twelve
masked men, supposed to be in the
employ Of cattlemen. The raiders
drove off the sheep herders with
threats of death, fired the camp outfit
and then began shooting the sheep.
Out of a total of 5000 sheep in the
band, 1000 have disappeared and are
supposed to have all been killed.
The cattlemen have marked out a
dead line" and the Dickey sheep were
one mile over the border. +,
The trouble will probably spread to
other camps.

Defense's Contention That Thaw
Was Suffering From Brain Storms
When He Shot White.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 1.-THE founda-
tion. the testimony by which the
prosecution in the Thaw murder case
hopes to discredit the witnesses who
swore that Thaw was irrational on the
night Of the shooting of Stanford
White, will be laid with the testimony
of Anthony Debbs, the policeman at
the roof garden who saw the shots
fired; the fireman who aided in making
the arrest, and police sergeants Nc
Carthy and McCann, who were in the
station house when the prisoner was
arraigned and who noted his demeanor
when he asked Reporter McElhone il
1t was necessary that he (Thaw)
should give his real name. McElhone
will be summoned to rebut the testl-
mony Of Martin Green, another report
er, who testified that the manner OF
the defendant Immediately after the
shooting was not rational. Following
these witnesses, Drs. Mcdonald. Flint
and Mabon will probably take the
stand. District attorney has several
other alienists, whose names have not
yet been made public, and they, too,
are expected to take the witness
stand.
Frederick w. Longfellow, was the
first witness called by District Attor-
ney Jerome when the Thaw trial open
ed this morning, Longfellow formerly
was Thaw's attorney. Longfellow was
stopped from giving any definite testi-
niony as to Ethel Thomas, suit on the
ground that he was acting as Thaw's
counsel and his dealings with him
were confidential.
Lining up his forces in rebuttal in
the case of Harry K. Thaw, District

saw Thaw on the night of his arrest
and who declared his actions to them
seemed to be those of rational man.

he had never heard Thaw in his cell

Argentine Imports to United States
Have Increased Progressively From

Years-Commerce of Both Countries
Would Be Greatly Benefited.
A:..ei.tea Pres. c.sl. to I'll. rv..,..

A:seeiatea Press Cable to The Evenins
Buenos Ayres, March 11.-Estanis-
lao Zeballos, minister of foreign af-
fairs and formerly minister of Argen-
tina to the United States, in an inter-
view this afternoon concerning the
failure of the ship subsidy to pass at
the recent session of the United States
congress, expressed his great disap-
pointment at the fate of the bill and
the conviction that the interest of both
countries demanded measures for the
extension of commerce which, with
better ocean communication, would
develop enormously.
Senor Zeballos pointed out that leg
islation had been enacted long ago
granting a subvention of 100000 an
nually for steamers performing a
regular service between Argentina and
the United States, and the Argentina
government, he said, was prepared to
make tariff concessions, where these
were possible. for the purpose of facil-
itating commercial intercourse. The
minister added that even as far back
as the time when ne was accredited
to Washington he had a lengthy con-
ference with President Cleveland in
which he made similar proposals on
reciprocal lines.
In proof of the advantages of the
policy he favored, Senor Zeballos
quoted official figures showing that
Argentina's imports fr1m the United
States had increased progressively
from $13,000,00O in 1900 to nearly $40,-
100000 in 1906 and her exports to the
United States from $7,O0OOOO in 1900
to over $13,000,OOO gold in 1906.
Senor Zeballos said that he was con-
f1dent that when the trade possibilities
between the two republics were un-
derstood in the United States, the
American congress would see the de-
STABILITY of mutual commercial rela-
tions, the balance being always largely
in favor of that country. The minister
thought it would be matter for deep
regret if the splendid effects of the
memorable visit and declarations of
Secretary Of State Root should be
maintained by apparent indifference
as to a commercial policy which, while
beneficial to Argentina, would be dou-
bly, so to the United States.

opposition is now more determined
than ever, however, and large crowd
of Memphis business and professional
men will be on hand to oppose the
