PLAN TO FIGHT
LABOR STRIKES
Northwestern Maehinists Con.
vention Adopts New Bylaw
on Important Subject

st. Paul, May S.-The northwestern
machinists' convention. which has
been meeting at the Foley hotel for
the last few days, closed yesterday,
after delegating power to its execu-
tive. officers to raise $4,000 monthly
for the purpose Of fighting strikes
whenever such may occur. This ac-
ton of the machinists was taken
through the adoption of an amend
ment to the bylaws reading as fol-
lows:
"The executive board shall have
power to levy such assessments as
are necessary, provided such assess
ments shall not exceed 81 per month
per member"
There are 1000 members Of the
northwest consolidated railroad dis
trict of the International Association
Of Machinistes, picked from eighteen
of the largest railways in the north
west. The discussion in the conven-
ton gave to this bylaw much prom
inence on account of it being q
weapon, heretofore unpossessed by
the officers, to fight any sudden labor
emergency in the district.

of every one of us that the lock sys-
tenn, instead of the sea-level canal, is
the soundest solution of the problem,
and. furthermore, that not a single
mistake has SO far been made. The
Gatun dam Slides about which SO
much has been said in criticism, are
really trivial incidents in the con-
struction of the great dam. OF course.
the ground is soft where the old
French canal and the west diversion
channel of the Chagres river are
crossed by the dam at Gatun, and the
soft mud oozes up at places der the

No Mistake Made. u
"Col. Goethals and the engineers on
the job are absolutely confident that
no error has been made, and from
my personal observation and with
some practical but no technical
knowledge of such things, I would
stake my last cent on the proposition
that no mistake has been made in any
material part of the construction of
the canal.

4 STEAMER AND
CREW BOTH LOST
Is Believed Fourteen Perished
When Adele Shores Went to
Bottom of Lake

Cleveland, Ohio. May s-$t is be-
lieved here that fourteen members of
the crew of the steamer Adele
Shores have perished and that the
boat lies at the bottom of Lake Su-
perior, off Whitefish Point. The Shores,
which is owned by the Manx Transit
company of Cleveland, passed the 500
upbound. last Thursday. Since then
nothing has been heard from her by
the owners except the information
conveyed in the newspaper dispatches
reporting the finding of the wreckage
identified as being a part of the
Shores. The boat was in charge OF
Captain Selvert Holmes of Milwau-
kee. The identity of the crew is un-
known here.
The story of the wreck was brought
to Duluth by Captain Geel and Mate
Spaulding of the steamer Simon Lam
gell, which arrived in port last night.
The Langell met with considerable
quantity of wreckage and the upper
part of boat that Captain Geel feels
sure belonged to the Adele Shores.

courses are open to the government
respecting these foreign deposits.
One is to obtain them through legal
process. and the other through au-
thorization from Abdul Hamid him

The tariff bill was again taken up
by the senate today for the considera-
ton of committee amendments that
were passed over upon the first read
ing of the bill after it had been prac-
tically laid aside for ten days while
senator's have been making speeches
on the measure as whole. Small
progress was made in the considera-
tion of the measure. but eight pages
being considered before adjournment
DoIliyer is Facetious.
Senator Dolliver concluded his
speech begun yesterday. Referring
to the board of appraisers at New
York as elder statesmen who failed
to be reelected" Mr.. Dolliver ex-
planned the mercerization of cotton,
declaring that the one-cent-a-yard for
that or similar processes provided in
the bill was i'll excess of the cost of
mercerization.
Mr.. Smoot said the mercerization
process required Egyptian or long sea
island cotton. Mr.. Dolliver denied
this statement. and turning to the
Democratic side said that was the cot
ton for which the senator from South
Carolina had so strenuously worked
for tariff duty.
Mr.. Tillman quickly disavowed any
desire to have duty on sea island
cotton. He added he was enjoying
seeing the senator from Iowa throw
bricks at his colleagues on the Re-
publican side, but that he did not want
him to throm them at him."
Il thought / was throwing him a
bouquet" responded Mr.. Dolliver.
Mr.. Smoot declared cotton lost
something in mercerization.
Yes" replied Mr.. Dolliver. "the
process of mercerization is like wash
ing your hands-of course you lose
little in the. waste"
Tariff Tribunal Coming.
After the laughter on the floor and
in the galleries had died out. Mr.. DOL
liver resumed. He said he did not
hold the members of the finance COM
mittee responsible for the bill, as they
had been forced to hire merchants to
explain the measure to them.
Mr.. Dolliver said the time was COM
ing when the controversy over the
tariff will be transferred by law to a
tribunal, where it can be passed upon
with more wisdom than person is
liable to meet about the corridors of
the capitol
Mr.. Dolliver warned his colleagues
that if this tariff bill should be put
through without amendment it would
cause an immediate countrywide de-
mand for another revision.
Mr.. Carter declared the Dingley law
was the wisest and best balanced
tariff law anybody ever knew"
That's right" observed Mr.. Beve-
ridge, while both Mr.. Aldrich and Mr.
Hale nodded their heads in approval
The new Philippine tariff bill, which
will be supplementary measure to
the Payne tariff bill, will be reported
to the house. The principal changes
made in the original measure affect
the steel and oil schedules.
Petroleum and its products are
placed on the free list. to which hides
are also added. Light steel rails fol
tramways are provided with lower
duty than was contained in the orig.
inal bill, and a lower rate is placed
on sugar making machinery, which
was assessed duty equal to that on
other machinery.

yesterday when giving demonstra-
tion in a Wright aeroplane. The lieu
tenant reiterated his previous state
ment that the accident was due to q

Has Not Been Arrested, Planned the

CT Willie Whitla, Mrs. James H.
Boyle sat immovable as the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty on the Sec
ond count of the indictment against
her today. The heavy veil. which she
has worn throughout the trial. con-
cealed her features so that it could
not be seen whether her color chang
ed, but there was no movement OF
her body to indicate that she SO much
as heard her doom pronounced. Her
Indifference was even more pro-
nounced than it has been during the
preceding portions of the trial. Dur
ing the noon recess it became known
that the jury had agreed upon ver-
dict but the court had adjourned till
1870 p. m. and until that hour no in
timation could be had of what the
verdict was. The court room was
crowded almost to suffocation when
the jury filed in at 1880 o'clock and
the foreman announced they had
agreed upon a verdict. The crowd
in the court room was warned that no
demonstration would be tolerated and
the verdict was read in silence. as
quietly as though preparing to go out
for a walk. Mrs. Boyle drew on her
gloves. arose from her chair and went
with the sheriff back to her cell.
Judge Miller, Mrs. Boyle's attor-
ney, had announced that he will make
a motion on Monday for new trial.
t is believed here that the motion will
be overruled and that both Boyle and
his wife will be sentenced Monday.
The penalty in the Boyle's case Is
from one year in the penitentiary to
life sentence, and in Mrs. Boyle's
case the maximum is twenty-five
years.

Boyle today. Like her husband she
is anxious to tell more than has been
brought out in the trial of herself or
her husband regarding the kidnapping
! Of BILLY" Whitla. "If Jimmie and
are sent to the penitentiary." she
said, I'VE will not go alone; others
will go with us or join us there soon.
Half the truth has not yet been told in
this case. One other man who
planned the whole affair has not been
arrested. I am willing to suffer for

there is no evidence that l have been
mixed up in this case and rather than
suffer injustice from the court, will

The case Of Mrs. Boyle was given
to the jury at 11:4O o'clock this morn
/: ing. The jury reached verdict on
the first ballot but the court having
], adjourned till 1880 p. m. it was not
reported until that hour.

eLECTRIFICATI0N OF

Nothing definite has yet been decided
regarding the proposition to electrify the
salt Lake & Los Angeles railroad be-
tween Salt Lake City and Saltair and it
IS stated that plans will probably not be
made until the road has been gone over
again and more thoroughly by A. T. Bah

Mr.. Babcock went over the road for the
purpose OF getting acquainted fifth the
conditions and since then matters relating
to the electFification of the road have
been standing still awaiting report from
nom. Mr. Babcock has reported, il is
said, that he cannot prepare any sort of
a definite recommendation or make even
liberal estimates of the probable cost
without a more complete inspection. If
possible he will probably make trip here
