Stilkey stable have been laid and the
work on the structure will now be
pushed ahead as rapidly as possible.
AS two stories are to be erected before
the old stable at the top of Rines hill

it is probable that a number Of days
will elapse before the stable will be

Washington, March 14.--(Special) That the catastrophe which befel the republic- an party in New York in 1881 may be duplicated in the near future with lean republican years to come is feared by republican congressman. They recall the quarrel between President Garfield and Senator Conkling over the nomination of Robertson to be collector of the port of New York. That controversy began In April, 1881. The two United States senators, Platt and Conkling. resigned from the Senate May IA. as protest against the Presidents stand. This pre- cipitated a contest in the legislature which ragged until the latter part of July, when Warner Miller and K. G. Latham were elected senators.
 The two factions of the republicans were hopelessly apart. dubbed 'stalwart' and 'halfbreeds,n and they had knives at each others throats at every turn. The results were dire to the party. In the succeeding elections the republicans lost both branches of the legislature. Next year they lost the governcrship Grover Cleveland being elected by the dem ocrats.
 The trouble did not stop there, how ever. and the democrats carried the presi- dency in 1884. The republicans. more over. lost every state ticket from 1885 to 1892. inclusive, all these disasters being blamed upon the original stalwart-half- bred feud This is the record of dis aster the Albany folks are holding up as a bugaboo to the reorganizers. saying in

Mr. Humphrey was speaking as the guest of honor at a dinner of the association.

We are spending $50.- 100000 year to improve our rivers and harbors largely for the benefit of for eign subsidized ships.

Washington. March 14.-The Depart ment of Justice sent report to the effect that proceedings had been insti- tuted to recover lands sold under the Oregon and California railroad company's s land grand and that the suits had been directed against both the railroad and the purchasers of the lands It was stated that the conditions of the grants had been violated in many instances, and that the lands should be recovered by the government
 The report was made in response to the resolution introduced by Senator Tlll- man on Jan. 24 last and by Senator Chamberlain more than year ago. for information concerning what action had been taken by the government The government report was made by Assist ant Attorney General James A. Fowler who showed that under the government grants 3,137,o00 acres was received by the railroads. Of this amount S20O0O acres were sold and 2117,0o0 acres are still claimed under the grant.
 MT. Fowler says that the restrictions made by the government concerning the sale of the land had been violated in that the sales amounted to more than the prescribed limit of 1G0 acres to each pur- son.

MINERS HAVE NO
 DEFINITE PLANS

Cincinnati. March 14.--Contrary to ex- pectations. the annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America Will organize in this city without anything definite in view. This state of affairs has been brought about through the in ability of the sub-scale committee of the joint conference of the miners and oper- ators of Ohio Indiana and Pennsylvania to come to some agreement regarding the wage scale for the coming two years
 As result the national convention will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, or xanize, hear greeting of welcome from Mayor Schwab, and adjourn subject to the call of the chairman, which will be issued when the scale committee of the joint conference gets ready to report.
 The time will be decidedly uncertain quantity. The demands of the miners have been in the hands of the scale com mittee for twos days and the sub-scale committee all during the day and as yet nothing that even tends toward an agree ment has been reached.
 In speaking of conditions tonight, Pres ident T. l.. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America said:
 T had high hopes that the sub-scale committee would come to quick agree ment, but it could not be done, and the convention will have to wait.
 .rhsre will be close to 1200 miners in town in time for the convention tomor- row. These represent about 300,0oO miners throughout the country

 The debate in the Senate of the admin istration railroad bill this week will be merely the prelude of the row to come Only the greatest pressure from the White House is going to save the meas ure.

Earle said no plan of settlement was discussed, even tentatively, but the difficulty of a settle inent was gone over. He and MT. Kru- ee. said the company wanted to safe guard it's local men, and that there seemed to be too many men for the posi- tions that were vacant. MT. Earle in sisted that no immediate settlement was ill sight, and that no change in the sit- uatiofl has been made. At the coneiu- sion of the discussion, President Mahon and members of the subcommittee re- turned to the strike headquarters, where they reported results to the committee of ten.
 After the labor leaders had left for their headquarters, a meeting of the board of directors in the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company was hastily called in the company's offices. and was in session until a late hour tonight. It was announced that no statement would be issued until tomorrow.

The brokers are reported to have stated that If the strike were not ended before next Wednesday. no further support would be given the stock.

 Negotiations looking to settlement with France are progressing satisfac- torily. It fig said a new proposition was received from France tonight and 1t was intimated at the conclusion of the con- ference that settlement, by which France may send her products to the United States under the 25 per cent re- duction clause, Is not unexpected. The negotiations are far from complete, how ever, and another hitch may occur at any time.
 President Taft is charged with the judicial obligation of deciding from all the facts available just what nations 'unduly discriminate against the United States, and to extend 20 per cent re- duction in all rates to those nations not Included in this unfavorable list. Canada is said to have made no effort to secure this preferential treatment from the United States. It is declared. in fact, that the Dominion government has left TO loop hole for President Taft to do otherwise thar to allow the maximum rates automatically to go into effect against imports from that country.
