oughly in accord with the past policy. We will make no advances to the long, shoremen."
 Secretary Connors of the Longshore- mems union, when he learned of Mir. Ismay's decision, said:
 All right. The strike goes on as usual. There will be no advances made by us.'
 The Adriatic in bringing Mir. Ismay here completed her maiden voyage. She is one of the largest liners afoat in the way of passenger accommoda- tions and luxury and is the only ocean steamship equipped with swimming pool and Turkish hath. She brought 5000 passengers. Her accommodations are greater than those of any of the White Star ships.
 It was said, although denied by the labor men, that an appeal would be made to President Roosevelt if Mir. Ismay was not able to effect some agreement.
 The managers of the thirty-six steam ship lines are still holding out against the strikers demands.
 Without a moments notice 300 fire men, stewards and sailors on the French liner La Touraine struck few minutes before the ship, loaded with passengers and part cargo of freight, was about to depart on her voyage to Havre.

 It is said in the city to day that many politicians are in tremor of fear over the promised revelations to be contained in confession expected from Abraham Ruef, who unexpected- ly pleaded guilty to a charge of extor- tion and made q pitiable exhibition in court yesterday.
 The prosecution says that Mayor Schmitz will be the next to confess.
 It is admitted that if Ruef and Schmitz make clean breast of all they know scores of men who have held their heads high, both politically and socially, will be dragged down.

stration of the Shooting Up.
 WASHINGTON. May 1.-Two wit resses in the Brownsville investiga- ton before the senate committee on military affairs testified that they saw negro soldiers shooting up the Texas town on the night of Aug. 13.
 One of these was Lieutenant Domin. guez of the Brownsville police. who received a bullet through the arm and had his horse shot from under him while trying to warn citizens of the approach of armed men. whom he de- elared positively to be negro soldiers from the garrison. and another was Policeman Pardon. who described a busy quarter of an hour dodging bull lets. He also was positive that the men doing the shooting were negro sol diers.
 Pardon also testified that shortly be- fore midnight he saw soldiers in the alley half block away and that they were shooting. He said he could dis tinxuish their uniforms when the guns flashed. He told of seeing negro sol diers rush out and fire at Dominguez and follow him some distance down Fourteenth street

TALK WITH ORCHARD|
Prisoner Witness In Boise
 Murder Trial Interviewed.
DIFFICULT TO SECURE UNBIASED MEN
Ex-Convict on Whom Idaho Relies to Prove Murder Charge Against Western Federation Denies
 Use of Duress or Force.
Use of Duress or Force.

BOISE, Ida, May 17.-During the Haywood murder trial here eleven talesmen were examined before a sat isfactory juror was secured to replace William Van Orsdale at No. 2, who was excused on peremptory chal- ienge from the state.
 As was expected, the defense exer- cised its first challenge by relieving Allen Pride, a farmer, at No. 5. MT. Pride testified during the examination that he had invited to dinner the dep uty sheriff who served him with | jury summons. He and the deputy dis cussed the case for some time, the talk hinging particularly upon Harry Or chard, who is to be the principal wit ness for the state. A talesman was called to replace Pride, but his exami- nation was deferred.
 As the work of jury selection pro- gressed the difficulties seemed to in- crease. One after another the tales men were excused because of strong opinions as to the guilt or innocence of the accused.
 Harry Orchard, the prisoner witness upon whom the state of Idaho chiefly relies to prove it's charge that an inner circle of the Western Federation of Miners planned the murder of Govern or Steunenberg, broke his long silence and for more than half an hour dis cussed himself and his imprisonment with press representatives
 Orchard denied that he had received misfreatment during his long confine- ment: denied that duress or force had been used to secure the statements he had made and denied that Detective Mcfarland and the officers of the state have promised him immunity for his confessed crime or reward for the val ue of his alleged confession. Orchards manner and conversation tended strong ly to confirm the assertion that he, has been reconverted to and is deep in the zeal of Christianity. [.
 Orchard is perfectly sound in body. clear and quick of brain. If there was eser anything fin the reports that he was -hreaking in health and mind there is nothing now to give them a shadow of suggestion.
 The one condition imposed at the in- terview by Warden Whitney of the Idaho penitentiary was that there must be no discussion of the "case." and the prisoner himself asked that the same condition be observed.
 q have never admitted and don't admit now that I have ever made d confession" said Orchard. Mind that. But at no time was ever subjected to force or pressure of any kind, and any thing I ever said to Captain McPar- land was without force or threat of any kind. Anything said was of my own free will and accord It was just as talk to you here. There was noth- ing else. No promise Of any kind has ever been made me by Captain Nc Parland or any one else"

CLARK ASKS PARDON.
Pastor Who Married W. F. Corey and Miss Gilman Now Sorry For It.


 Miss Gilman Now Sorry For It.
 NEW YORK, May 17.-Rev. John L. Clark, D. D., pastor of the Bushwick Avenue Congregational church, Brook lyn, who recently officiated at the mar riage in this city of w. E. Corey, presi- dent of the United States Steel corpo- ration, and Miss Mabelle Gilman. an actress, submitted to the credentials committee of the church at a meeting last night letter in which the minis ter begged forgiveness for having per. formed the marriage ceremony in ques. tion.
 In the letter Dr. Clark said he real ized that he had done great wrong both to the congregation of his church and to the Christian conception of the marriage relation in marrying a di- vorced person, and he said he would humbly receive whatever censure the committee might impose.
 He had sent back the large fee, he said. because he had come to realize the gravity of his transgression as preacher in violating the Christian con ception of the marriage relation.
 Dr. Clark concluded by promising to use his ecclesiastical office in the fu- ture strictly in accordance with the principles of his denomination.
 The committee decided to recommend in its report to the congregation that in vfew of the pastors integrity and righteousness, together with his letter of apology. no further action in the matter be taken.
 Playing the steel president. resolu- ton adopted by the prudential commit tee of the church sssailed the wedding of Corey and the actress in very yir- ulent manner and recorded its abhor- renee at the act of a Christian minister in solemnizing such a wedding"
