MINERS IN MASS MEETING
Score kidnapping of Meyer, Haywood
AID Pettibone.

San Francisco, Cal. The first
mass meeting of the Miners Defense
League was neld at Walton's pavilion
Sunday afternoon, and was attended
by over 1000 union labor men.
E~ighty-four labor unions were off
cially represented by appointed del
egates, and many unions by their en-
tire membership. Indignation was
expressed over what is termed the
kidnapping of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone by the Idaho authorities
with the connivance of the governor
of Colorado" and the fact that the
leaders of the Western Federation of
Miners have been held so long without
trial. The assembly was in the nature
of an indignation meeting.
A number of resolutions were passed
which in strong terms denounced cap
i~talists, criticised the action of the
courts and threatened retaliation If
the lives of the prisoners were sacri-
feed.

POSTAL ORDER MISLEADING.
TinseIIed Post Cards May Be Enclosed
in Envelopes.

Washington.-The first report sent
out regarding the barring from
the mail of all postal cards bear
ing particles of glass, metal, mica,
sand, tinsel or other similar sub
stance, was misleading. Such cards
will be permitted to pass through the
mails, provided they are inclosed in
envelopes, according to the post office
departments ruling.
Adolph Selige, a large publisher of
souvenir post cards in st. Louis, de-
clared today that it would be only fair
to the public to set a certain date upon
which the order barring such cards
from the mail would go into effect. He
said that there are probably 20, 200, 900
of these cards now in the hands of
| either the public or small retail deal.
ers all over the country and that he
considered it unfair to them to pro.
hibit cards from the mail upon a short
notice.
Mr.. Selige further declared that the
report was misleading and created a
false impression among the public.
Hundreds of persons, he asserted, are
making a living tinseling post cards.
He stated that such an order as was
issued only misled the public and ere.
ated false impressions, which was
harmful in its consequence to both the
producer and consumer.

HILL ROADS RAISE WAGES
EMPLOYEES GRANTED AN IN
CREASE OF II PER CENT.
Increase Reported Made in Antieipa-
ton of Trainmen's
Vote.

Chicago.-Anticipating the result
of the vote now being taken by
the trainmen and conductors as to
what further action on their part will
be taken regarding wages and working
conditions, the James j. Hill system
of railways has granted what will be
equivalent to IL per cent increase in
wages to their employees.
1t is understood the Hill system has
withdrawn from any further negotia-
lions with the general managers com,
mittee and the chiefs of the two divi-
sions of employees.
Arbitration Vas suggested as a
means of settling the dispute between
the men and their employers, but the
advance on the part of the manage
ment of the Great Northern and North.
ern Pacific, 500 Line and all the roads
centering in St. Paul will make fur
Their negotiations unnecessary, as the
employees of these lines will indorse
the offer and accept the advance.

Indianapolis, Ind, March S.-The

YELLOW FEVER IN THE WAY.
The Congressional Party on Way to
Isthmus May Be Halted.

New York, N. Y.-Speaker Can
O and the other members of the
congressional party who sailed a few
days ago on the Hamburg-American
steamer Butcher, may not be permit.
ted to visit Colon, according to in.
formation received here. The party
had planned to stop at Colon on the
homewarG trip and inspect the canal
work. News has been received that
the Panama government has estab-
lished a quarantine against Venezuela
ports because of a reported outbreak
of yellow fever at La Guayara. The
Butcher is scheduled to call at La
Guayara and also at Puerto Cabello
before she reaches the isthmus.
Officers of the Hamburg-American
line said that every effort will be
made to arrange for the landing of
the congressional party at Colon. 1t
may be possible to induce the passen-
gers or the Butcher to consent tt a
change in the schedule. If this can
moi be done, the company may appeal
to President Roosevelt to ask Pan
anna to make an exception in the quar-.
antine regulations in the case of the
congressional party.

ERICH MEMS PANIC"
PRICES PLUNGE DOWNWARD IN
WALL STREET.
ONLY MILLIONA|RES HURT
Enormous Losses Have Occurred, But
to Men Who Are Able to
Shoulder the Consequences.

New York, N. Y.-There was
further drastic liquidation in the stock
market, and periods of exciting weak
ness, during which prices plunged
downwards to a level in many cases
lower than for several years past.
Enormous Losses.
This week has been %singularly free
in fact from rumors of financial en-
barrassments, although the extent of
the decline makes the fact of enor-
nous losses having occurred a matter
of course. The conviction remains
general that these have fallen gener-
ally in the millionaire class, and
amongst those who could shoulder the
burden without ruinous consequences.
Erich Mems Panic"
1t is this conviction which gives the
present decline the name of the rich
mems panic" amongst professional op,
orators.
Gloomy sentiment was a~ccentuated
by the discouraging views on the in
dustrial outlook expressed by E. II.
Hartman, in one of various inter-
views.

ILLEGAL REBATES CHARGED.
One Indictment of Standard Oil Co.
Begins Trial.

Chicago.-Trial of one of the
eight federal indictments against the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana began
before Federal Judge Lands Monday.
The Indictment contains 1903 counts
and charges acceptance from railroads
of illegal rebates ~aggregating $685.
360.39.
The indictment upon which the first
trial will be based is known as the
Alton case" and involves freight
charges on oil shipped w the Chica-
go & Alton railroads between Whiting,
Ind, and East st. Louis, ILL.,, and St.
Louis.
The penalty to be imposed for each
violation of the law is a fine of $1,000
to $4,000. Should the government be
successful in it's contention that each
shipment treated separately in the
1903 counts is a distinct violation, the
minimum total fine possible is ST.
900, 900.

PRAISES SOUTH AMERICA.
Brazilian Ambassador Says Country
Developing Rapidly.

Buenos Ayres. - Irving B. Dud-
ley, American ambassador to Bra
I'll, is here or a visit. In aniinterview
he declared that he was surprised at
the immense changes and improve
ments made since a former visit to
Argentina three years ago. He con-
graduated the country on the railroad
building, especially that to the north
ward. AS Peru and Bolivia are also
engaged in building railroads the Pan
American line will be relative easy.
The ambassador spoke of the prog
made in Chilli and Peru, and said that
the whole of South America has en-
tered an era of progressive develop
ment.

PROBING THE SHORTAGE
ROOSEVELT ORDERS STRICT IN
VEsTIGATloN MADE.
TELLER THREATENS EXPOSE
Fitzgerald Says He Suggested Plan to
Prevent Chicago
Theft.

Chicago.-Direct orders from Pres
ident Roosevelt for Chief John
Wilkie of the secret service to
remain in Chicago until an explanation
of the mysterious theft is made,
caused renewed vigor to be injected
into the inquiry into the $172,O 900 sub
treasury theft Wednesday. q
Rumors that Assistant Treasurer
Boldenwick and other subtreasury of
icials will be asked to resign could not
be uuieted around the Federal building
and caused considerable uneasiness
among the officials. 1t is known that
the president is insisting on protection
against future thefts.
Although the compulsory leave Of
absence given to George w. Fftzger-
aid, asserting teller, expired Wednes-
day, he was not allowed to return to
his cage. Mr.. Boldenweck is awaiting
advices from Washington, and until
his superiors direct him otherwise
Fi~tzgerald's leave will be extended.
Il have not heard from Washington
yet. | can't say what will be done"
Mr.. Boldenweck declared.
Fitzgerald threatened revelations If
he was not put back to work, it is I'M
