The uncIe and tie Parrot.


Al farmer visiting New York with his
niece was induced BY her to buy par
rot, which was represented to be a
good taIker. After the return home
the young lady undertook to teach the
parrot to say uncle"
"Say uncle" she would say. "Uncle,
uncle, uncle! Please say uncle" Then
she would COO at the bird as II it were
a baby learning to talk, and feed II
and pet 1t, all the time begging 1t to
say uncle. But the parrot looked bored
and said nothing. This had gone on for
two days, when the farmer said: 'sThat
parrots no good Iii put II out" TAX
ing ii to the chicken yard, the farmer
grabbed the bird BY the neck and
sIung 1t among the chickens, saying.
''Say uncle, gol darn you; say uncle!'
The farmer went to dinner. from
which he was called presently by a
great noise and commotion in the
chicken yard. where be found seven
hens dead in a corner. In the parrots
right claw was another hen. grasped
firmly by the neck. and the parrot was
screechjng. Say uncle, gol darn you;

mating bold coup. The plan of the

FAMINE WOULD RESULT.
Railroads Hold Out Gloomy Prospect
if Strike is Called.

Chicago, March 30.-Famine in sup.
lies of food, coal and manufacturing
materials for Chicago and many other
cities throughout the entire West was
predicted today, if the impending rail
way strike became reality. Railroads
of the entire West will be allowed to
remain completely paralyzed in case
the strike of trainmen and conductors
on 43 traffic systems is ordered. This
course has been practically decided on
by the general managers of the systems.
A meeting of the managers was held
today and the impracticability of filling
the places of $4,000 men who are talk
ing of a walkout was discussed. No
move has been made to hire men tc run
trains. In fact, no preparations is be-
ing made by the railway managers.
If these men strike it would be al
most, if not entirely, impossible to op-
crate the railroads." said an official
high in railroad circles. "It is as good
as certain that freight traffic will be
entirely shut off. Consider what if
would mean, if Chicago were to be $50
lated for "a hours. What would hap
pen II the milk supply were interrupt
ed or the immense importations of per
lshable freight halted by tie-up of the
roads"

claring that he is anxious for a speedy
trial, he says:
1T is VIGOROUSLY unfair that

Judge in this city and county," all Of
whom he alleges to be biased, and de-
clares it is outrageous that he should

and Judged by jury, he will give no

Tactics in That City.
San Francisco, March 81 The grand
jury investigation took a leap today
across the bay and landed in Oakland.
1t was shown during the examination
of witnesses that the Home Telephone
company and the Pacific States Tele-
phone company had been engaged in a
battle over franchise similar to the
warfare here which resulted in whole
sale bribery. 1t developed that Halsey
was in Oakland and that Detwiller was
there also. These are the men accused
of bribing the San Francisco officials.
Aside from this revelation, the in
quiry failed to reveal anything of q
sensational nature. At the end of the
session District Attorney Langdon said
the day had been spent in "filling in. f."
Testimony was given which serves to
supply some of the missing links in the
recital of bribery.
The grand jury will socn begin to re-
veal the part played by Mayor Schmitz
in the Doodle transactions. The MAYOR.

TRIAL DRAGGING.


IN GQQFt fft1t
Washington, March 27.-That inter
est in the trial OF Binger Hermann ID
tagging was strikingly illustrated today,
when one of the jurors fell asleep In
the midst Of the testimony of Harry c.
Robertson, formerly private secretary
to Senator Mitchell. The testimony
produced this week has not been start
ling. in fact 1t covers ground already
gone over by other witnesses, it being
the intention of District Attorney Baker
by preponderance OF evidence to con-
vince the jury that Hermann had an
important motive in destroying his So
called private letter books. The testi-
mony, however, is largely technical and
uninteresting.
Mr.. Robertson's testimony today COW
cred the same ground as his testimony
in Portland. He showed the close rela-
tions that existed among Hermann.
Mitchell, Mays and Puter, testified as
to their correspondence regarding land
matters, since proven fraudulent, and
to that extent materially aided the
prosecution.
Had Mr.. Robertson been permitted
to tell extensively of his relations with
Hermann in 1896-97, when the latter
was first in congress, he could have ma
terially offset some statements of those
who appeared as character Witnesses
for the defendant. Before court opened
Mr.. Robertson talked freely with Dis
trict Attorney Baker about his relations
with Hermann while serving him as
private secretary and an attempt was
msde TO bring out these facts, but OBJ
lection was made by counsel for the de-
tense, ipasmuch as they had no direct
bearing on the case at bar, and the
court sustained the objection. For that
reason Mr.. Robertson's testimony was
robbed of considerable interest.

Chicago, March 29.--Government in
PREVENTION will be tried in an effort K
avert the great railroad strike which
threatens to paralyze the business o
the West. In response to the appea
OF the RAILROAD managers, Chairman
Knapp, OF the Interstate Commere com
mission, and Commissioners of Labor
Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday
morning and offer mediation in the
CONTROVERSY Failing to adjust the
matter in conciliatory manner, they
will endeavor to bring about arbitra-
tion under the provisions of the Erd-
mann law.
The labor chiefs will await the al :
rival of the government officials befor
ordering q strike. If the good offices
OF Mr.. Knapp and Mr.. Neill result in
bringing greater concessions tc the en-
ployes than have yet been offered, the
strike may be averted. The employees
however, say they will not accept arbi-
tration and today again declared their
position that nothing short OF greater
concessions from the railroads Will pre-
vent them from walking out.
President Roosevelt has been follow
ing closely the developments in the sit
uatlon here and Messrs. Knapp and
NELL will undertake the delicate work
imposed on them by law with full con-
seriousness that the president is ex-
tremelJ solicitous that all differences
be settled by arbitration.

attempt would be made to operate
trains il the employees struck.

WRECK IN CALIFORNIA.
AZ Least Twenty-Six Persons Killed
and 4 Hundred Hurt.

| Cotton, CAL, March 29.--One of the
most disastre us wrecks in the history
of the Southern Pacific railroad occur
red one and one-half miles east of this
town shortly after O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, whom westbound train No. 8
from New Orleans for San Francisco
ran into an open switch, while going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, and ten Of
the Ia coaches were derailed with
frightful results. Twenty-six people
are known to have been killed and the
final list will total much higher than
this number. The injured number
about 100, many of whom are seriously
injured and will die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. -Four of them were
smashed into splinters. Most OF the
dead were Italians from New York and
New Orleans, going to San Francisco.
They occupied the smoker and day
coach.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several of
those among the injured will undoubt-
eddy die within the next few hours.
Out of 80 Pullman passengers, but
two sustained serious injury. The
three Pullman coaches and the diner,
which were on the rear of the train,
did not leave the track. The occupants
OF these cars were practically un-
harmed.
l.. r. Alvord, w. X. Davis and w.
o. Gusenmeyer, members of the switch
ing crew who are accused OF leaving The
switch open and causing the wreck,
were taken into custody and held in
bail OF ~ 600 by Coroner Van Wye.
