the New York delegation to drag the
dead body of the lamented Grover
Cleveland forth from its newly made
shroud, to create dissention in the
democratic convention, may be prop
erly rebuked by the democrats at
Denver.

l-ONGSH0REMEN QUIT WORK
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Sixty Out of 1o1 Steam schooners Are
Out of Commission as Result
of Trouble with En-
gineers

BY Associated Press. u.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-Fifty
longshoremen employed by the Pacific
Lumber company in unloading its ,yes-
sci, the Temple E. Dore, struck today
upon being notified that their wages
were to be cut from s4 to $3.50 day.
1t is anticipated that other firms will
follow the lead of the Pacific Lumber
company in making a reduction in the
wages of the longshoremen, and last
night the longshoremen's union passed
a resolution to the effect that the mem
bers will strike as fast as the reduc-
tions are announced.
Ten additional steam schooners
owned by members of the Steam
Schooners' association were laid up at
Sausalito and Oakland today and their
crews discharged. In all there are now
sixty steam schooners tied up out of a
total of 101 vessels. Seven of this num-
Der are owned by companies not MEM
bers of the association. Three of the
seven sailed from this port today, the
Samoa for Eureka, the Bandon for
Bandon and the Johann Poulson for
Portland
Indications are that the lockout OF
the marine engineers will result in an
almost complete tieup of the coast
shipping for a time, as it is understood
the seamen's union stands behind the
engineers and longshoremen, and the
owners seem determined to make big
fight for reduction in wages and in men
employed.

SCHMI7Z' LAWYERS
ATTACK APPEAL
Attorneys for Former Mayor of San
Francisco File Brief Support
ing Action of Appellate
Court
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.--The
brief of Eugene Schmitz in reply to
the appeal of the prosecution to the
supreme court for review of the de-
cision of the court of appeals in the
extortion cases, when it was decided
by the latter court that the indictment
of Schmitz was faulty, was filed by
the attorneys for Schmitz with the
clerk of the supreme court this after
noon.
The main point advanced by
Schmitz' attorneys is that the in
dictments charging Schmitz with ex-
tortion do not constitute a public Of
Tense, that the threats which caused
the French restaurant keepers to pay
tribute were not unlawful.
The attacks made in the prosecu-
tion's petition against the court of ap-
peals and commented on in Schmitz'
brief, but no attempt is made to an
swer the outside attacks on the decis-
ion.
The supreme court has until March
8 to grant or deny the Prosecutions $
plea for a rehearing. If the plea is
denied the remittitur of the court of
appeals goes down, and Schmitz will
be admitted to bail and the five in-
dictments against him, as well as
those of a similar character against
Abraham Ruef, are invalid.

GREAT TUNNELS UNDER
NEW YORK COMPLETED
Measurements of Engineers Are So
Accurate That Variation at Ends
Is Only Three-Eighths
of an Inch

Bv Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The first of
the great systems of tunnels and SUD
ways by whic.. the Pennsylvania rail-
road will be enabled to run train from
Philadelphia under the Hudson river
across Manhattan island and under the
East river to Long Island City was
completed today.
The two ends of one of the four
tubes connecting Manhattan island
with Long Island City were brought
together under the bed of the middle
of the East river off Thirty-fourta
street before noon today and the steel
rings composing the shell of the tube
were for the first time bolted in one
continuous string from shore to shore.
This tube was begun in August, 1905,
and is 1000 feet in length. Two other
tubes will be completed within few
days and the fourth will be finished
within three months, according to an
announcement made by the company.
The completion of the first tunnel was
celebrated in Long Island City by a
display of flags about the works OF
the company. Worhmen who were Dig
cling the tunnel from the Long Island
City side broke through into the end
OF the tunnel extending from the New
York side last night. but the two ends
were not connected until today.
So accurate were the measurements
OF the engineers that the ends came to-
gether with a variation of only three
eighths OF an inch. This system of
tunnels under the East river will con-
meet the Long Island railway with the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad terminal now
being constructed at Thirty-third street,
New York. A connecting railroad is
to be constructed in Long Island City
and Brooklyn to connect with various
stations of the Long Island railroad.

CAR ROBBERS CAPTURED
AFTER FIERCE BATTLE
Detectives Lie in Wait and Arrest
Suspects, Who Are overpowered
in Hand-to-Hand Con-
fict
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Fress.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21-After holding
up brakeman who had surprised them
in the act of robbing a freight car in
the New York Central railroad yards at
Eighty-f1fth street early today and
making him a prisoner at the point of
a revolver, three men were overpow-
cred by detectives after a desperate
fight. In the arrest of the men the
police believe they have a gang which
has stolen many thousands of dollars
worth of goods from freight cars dur
ing the past few months.
The men were at work on a car door
when a brakeman on train which
had just been drawn in from Albany
saw them and called out to them to get
away from the cars. Their reply,
which was enforced by three 1eveled
revolvers, was that il the brakeman
attempted to come down from the car
upon which he was standing he would
be shot 'as full of holes as a, screen
door,
Then, while one of their number re-
mained guard over the brakeman, the
others returned to their work After
they had removed a quantity of valu-
able goods from the car the thieves
carefully sealed the door with a coun-
terfeit seal. 1t was then that the de-
tectives came upon the trio.
They had been waiting all night In
the yards In the hope of catching the
men who had been using false seals
for months and had witnessed the en-
counter between the brakeman and the
robbers When the door had been
sealed four detectives sprang down
from the car tops where they had been
hiding and in desperate hand to hand
fight the detectives were finally victori-
Gus and the three men were locked up.
The men gave their names as John L.
Hughes, Alfred Rogers and Peter
Brandy.
In a boathouse where Hughes had
lived the detectives found goods valued
at more than $1,000.
