TNE WEEKS TALK IN NEW YORK CITY Story That Jesse Grant Will
 Oppose WI. Bryan A HEARST TRICK, MAY BE The Panic in the Railroad WorId-Is It Manufactured or Not?-Fish
 Joins Gould to War on
 Hartman.
A HEARST TRICK, MAY BE
BY, sEWELL HAeGARD.

New York, March 16.--There is d strong story going the rounds that Jesse R. Grant, son of President Grant, is being groomed for the democratic presidential nomination in opposition to William Jen- nings Bryan. MT. Grant has been in New York for the last month and he has had frequent conferences with Roger c. Sullivan, democratic national commit teeman for Illinois, and Charles A. Walsh who has just resigned as secretary of the committee. Mir. Walsh is from Iowa and has all along been an ardent sup porter of ". R. Hearst It is said that Charles r. Murphy, the leader of Tam many Hall, has discussed the Grant boom, but whether or not he was favorably impressed with it has not been an nounced.
 The presumption is that MT. Grant s boom-if he really has a boom--is being engineered in the interests of w. R. Hearst. The scheme is said to be. this: Grant will kill off Bryan, but will not run and then MT. Hearst can step in and grab off the nomination.
 This is a very pretty political story. In support of it is whispered around mysteriously that democrats nave been | meeting secretly in this city for weeks
 and planning campaigns in nearly all the states to get delegates for Grant in the | national convention. This mays all be
 true, but it doesn't sound impressive.
 At all events the Grant boom has not frightened MT. Bryan or any of his friends.
 Jesse Grant is a Californian and was educated at Cornell university. Up to 1896 he was a republican. He then came
 out for Bryan. Mir. Grant said at the time ia explaining his action that he was debarred from the republican party by reason of my convictions, both upon the silver question and upon the government ownership of the railroads and telegraph lines, and finding that the platform of the peoples party came nearest to coin ciding with my views as the wisest course to be pursued by the United States, I took the occasion of a recent convention of my party to announce my allegiance to it's principles
 Further on MT. Grant added: 'I be-
 lieve honestly in the great advantage to the country of the free coinage of silver. l have always been in favor of the free coinage of silver. I am interest," ed in silver mines in old Mexico. but not nearly so extensively as l am in
 gold mines. and l wish I didn't have anything to do with either.'

DastardIy Deed of Three
Young Boys
THEIR VICTIM MAY DIE
TRIO OF CHICAGO YOUNGSTERS
WANTED TO SEE SOME FUN
AND POURED ALCOHOL ON A
SLEEPING BOY AFTER WHICH
THEY IeNiTED HIS CLOTHING.

Chicago, April 2.Three boys whose
ages range from II to IA years, were
arrested today charged with setting fire
to the clothing Of Michael Lacocoa, a
17-year-old boy, while the latter lay
sleeping in hallway. The boys gave
the names of Lester Hall, Walter Leon
ard and James White.
According to the story OF one of the
boys they wanted to see some fun.
They first attempted TO light Lacocoa's IS
clothing with a match, but were rnsuc-
cessful. They then went to drug
store and secured a bottle of alcohol,
the contents of which they poured over
the sleeping boys clothing.
As the flames enveloped his body La
cocoa was awakened and after a futile
attempt to extinguish the flames, he
rushed into the street where he fell un-
conscious. He was taken to the hos
pital where his condition was said TO
be serious.
The Saranac hotel is a moderately
large hotel and known as the Ross

THE CONDUCTORS AND THE
iTRAINMEN HAVE ACCEPTED
THE WAGE ADVANCE OFFERED
BY THE ROADS, BUT WANT THE
NINE-HoUR RULE ADOPTED.

Chicago, April 2.-Conferences be-
tween the managers oS the western
railroads and the trainmen and con-
ductors were resumed today with
Commissioners Knapp OF the Interstate
Commerce commission and Secretary
.Neill of the United States Labor COM
mission, acting as peacemakers
The situation today at the opening OF
the conferences was not changed from
that of last night. The men have ac-
cepted the increases offered by the
railroads, but will stand out for a
working day of nine hours. The rail-
roads are obdurate on this point and
insist that they have made all pos
sible concessions. 1t is expected that
the conferences will continue for sew
eral days more.
Members of the Railway Trainmen
and of Order of Conductors have de-
cided to resume negotiations with the
managers of the railroads in regard to
the demand for shorter days. The first
of the renewed conferences will be held
tomorrow.

books and papers regarding illegal
business together with list of the
names of patrons, some important in
business and official life, were seized.
District Attorney Jerome has had his
assistants examine the seized docu-
ments and today he makes public some
of the surprising things they found.
The books show that five men in Full
ton street pool room syndicate made
profit of over $4,000 monthly for
many months.
The profits for the year are placed at
$250,000, indicating what little chance
a majority of the bettors have. These
immense profits, 1t is stated, were
made with capital OF $4,000.
The patrons of the poolrooms includ-
ed men prominent in business social
and official circles. according to the
records, letters and checks found. The
names of many of these men will be
made public through the grand jury

Langdon, N d., April 2.-Three lit

terday afternoon in one of the saddest
tragedies that has ever occurred IN
this vicinity

mother leaving the unfortunate chill
dren locked up in a house while she
visited neighbor
The victims of the flames were the
children of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hen

Jeanette. Az years of age, sunny
aged 3 years, and baby, aged is
months, locked in the house while >she
ran over to visit a short time with a
neighbor, About forty minutes after
her departure flames were seen COM
ing from the Henderson home and
neighbors rushed there to put out the
fire
When the distracted mother came
and informed the people that the chill
dren were in the house the doors were
broken open and the babies were dis
