The Spangled
 Tunic

Mrs. Wlnslow and Lily Belle were just stepping into the automobile when the postman came along.
 That's from Maude!" cried Lily Belle, bouncing upon blue envelope postmarked "Springview," and run hing stickpin under the flap. "Now I'll know what We are all going to wear at the wedding"
 She read in silence for a moment. Then she sat up suddenly and fixed her companion with two glittering eyes.
 Cousin Matte Winslow," she gasp ed. twill you listen to what Maude Washburne has the assurance to write me? Of course she begins with a lot of truck about her own dress, and then-listen: The attendants are to wear pink marquisette over pink satin. All the other girls, being mar ried, will wear trains. but you, being the only unmarried girl. of course will wear short dress-ankle length And so on, and so on. Now, what do you think of that?"
 She paused to let the horror of the situation sink into the mind of her companion.

Mrs. Winslow settled herself com, fortably in an easy chair to read let. ter. It was two days after the wed. ding, and the letter was postmarked "Springview" and addressed in Lily Belle's upright handwriting.
 Dear Cousin Mattie," she read, q have only time to write you a line about the wedding because I'm going out in the car with MT. Swift-the Denver man told you about-but want to thank you for helping me choose that tunic. It just made my dress and everybody said 1t was the prettiest gown that was ever seen in Springview. Nobody looked at Maude's dress to speak of, or any of the others. The girls were perfectly furious, but 1t served them right, for they never would have dared to de. eide the way they did about the trains if had been here.
 Mamma began to make little fuss about my wearing the tunic- thought 1t might not be in good taste but when I told her that you thought it was all right she was sat. isfied. She has so much confidence in your judgment. Thank you again. dear Cousin Hattie, for suggesting it."
 Cousin Matte opened her eyes a little at the last sentence, then she smiled placidly.

PLAN TO PREVENT
SOFT COAL STRlkE
Miners May Drop All Demands E~
cept Wage lncrease--WiIl Sug.
gcst Five Per cent

Cleveland, o. - A crisis in the
coal situation, determining wheth-
err more than 100000 miners in the
btuminous and anthracite fields shall
strike on April l or suspend until
new wage agreements can be effected,
is expected this week. John p. White,
president OF the union, and the dis
trict presidents are considering pro-
posal that the hituminous miners drop
all their demands except that tor an
increase of pay. and that they ask Tor
five per cent instead Of ten.
This compromise has not been de-
cided upon definitely, but it was con-
sidered one loophole by which there
would be no strike on April or sus.
pension of operations until new wage
agreements can be effected.
The union officials are in doubt
whether such compromise would be
approved at referendum vote.
Members of the executive board and
policy committee of the United Mine
Workers of America are preparing to
draw up recommendations for ref
erendum vote by the union.
The union officials say an agreeable
adjustment of the bituminous dispute
would have much influence in secur-
ing for the $4,000 anthracite miners

London. The first aggressive
move on the part OF the govern
ment looking toward the settle
ment of the coal strike took place
when the Ninety-thrd Highlanders re-
ceived orders to hold themselves in
readiness TO proceed TO any part OF
the empire.
This order Is believed TO signify
the governments intention Of ending
the labor disaffection by force If nee
essary, and it is believed that many
other regiments will receive similar
orders within the next II hours.

Washington, March 26-Attorney
General Wickersham raised a slight
storm in the senate by refusing to
supply information concerning the re-
organization of the International Har-
vester company. which was asked by
resolution adopted March 16.
Senator Bacon took exception not
only to the attorney generals action,
but to the manner Of communicating
it.
Mr.. Wickersham said in his letter
that it was incompatible with the in
terests of the United States to supply
the information desired because the
correspondence on file related to bust
ness which was unfinished
Mr.. Bacon declared the language to
be discourteous and said that appar-
emily the attorney general had forgot
ten that he was a creature of con-
gress.

STEPHENSON CASE UP
DECISION PROBABLY REACHED
IN SENATE WEDNESDAY,.
Reed Of Missouri in AI-Day Talk AS
sails Legislatures Ballot as Full
of Corruption.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Stephenson was formally placed on
trial on charges involving the validity
of his seat in the United States SEN
ate
The entire session was taken by
Senator Reed of Missouri, with a
speech in opposition to Senator Ste
phensons retention Of his seat.
1t is expected the final vote will be
reached Wednesday.
Friends of the Wisconsin senator
say they expect safe majority for
him, but admit the loss of one or two
Of his former adherents. His oppo-
nents contend that the vote will be
close.
Senator Reed declared that If the
senate acquitted Mr.. Stephenson I'VE
ought to be brave enough TO hang on
Those who have the money can enter
here"
The main effort was to controvert
the theory that Mr.. Stephenson was
innocent of wrongdoing because he
had not violated any Wisconsin stat
utes, and Mr.. Reed stamped as absurd
the claim that the senate could not go
back of the legislatures action. He
contended that the violation Of spe-
cific law was not necessary to invali-
date an election. He was not willing
to accept any contention that unless
a man has qualified himself for the
penitentiary he has not qualified him

DENY ENGINEERS
DEMAND FOR RAISE.
Eastern Roads Refuse Request
for Wage Increase.
FEAR FINANCIAL DISASTER"
Companies Assert They Could Not
Afford $7,553,792 Additional Pay
to Employes-WouId Spell
Bankruptcy.

New York, March 26.-The COM
mittee of twelve, consisting of vice.
presidents and general managers rep
resenting about fifty railroads, APP
pointed to draw up an answer to the
demands OF the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers for an increase in
wages, declined to grant any in
creases.
To this the conference committee
of the brotherhood, headed by w. S.
Stone. grand chief engineer, replied
that the engineers reaffrmed their
demands and II the managers had
nothing further to offer the entire
matter would be submitted to the
engineers represented for their final
action.
Stuart IN Curt Reply.
The curt reply to this note by J.
c. Stuart, vice-president of the Erie
and chairman of the committee of
twelve, was that the conference COM
mittee of managers could add moth
ing to its reply and trusted the mat
ter would be given full consideration
when the entire question is submitted
to the engineers for their final con-
sideration.
According to those versed in labor
matters there appears nothing more
for the engineers to do but to take a
strike vote.
The great systems involved are the
New York Central. the Pennsylvania,
Erie, Delaware & Lackawanna. Jer-
sey Central. Baltimore G. Ohio, On
tario & Western, New York, New
Haven & Hartford. Boston e Maine,
Long Island. the Wabash East and
many smaller lines. These roads do
more than one-half the traffic of the
United States. Twenty-Five thousand
seven hundred brotherhood engineers
are employed and about 1000 non
union engineers
Stone Opposed to Strike.
Our committee cannot call
strike said Chief Engineer Stone,
but it can order a referendum to be
taken on the question of calling one.
The engineers are in good condition
for strike. | am not talking strike.
however. since | do not believe in
strikes If they can be averted. but
We believe our demands are just and
right. 1t will take a two-thirds vote
to declare strike and | have the
power to vote it if declared"
In their answer to the demands OF
the engineers the managers showed
that the proposed increase in pay
would amount to total annual in
crease of 1888, 1872. or 1853 per cent.
the equivalent Of lien over first
mortgages of $18s.S44.S1S of four per
cent. securities. The growing traffic.
they assert, has overtaxed the exist
ing facilities and to grant the in
crease would be to make 1t impos-
sible for many roads to raise money
needed for betterments. With some.
the managers say, the increase would
spell bankruptcy.

MEXICAN REBELS
WIN BIG FIGHT
Rout Federal Forces in Four-Day
Battle Near Jiminez.
MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Governments Commanding General
Reported to Have Committed Sui
eide After Defeat-SeveraI
Federal Officers Killed.

Mexico City, March 26-Messages
received by Ell impartial report fed
eral rout at Jiminez.
General Salas, federal commander,
Is reported to have committed suicide.
General Banquet and General Teller
are reported wounded: other officers
We're killed, and fifty officers We're ia
ken prisoners to Chihuahua, together
with many privates.
The federal flight toward Torreon
began on Sunday afternoon and Gen.
Pascual Orozco, with 154 carloads OF
rebel soldiers, is said to be close on
the heels of the retreating federals.
Reports Are Confirmed.
The main points of Ell Imparcial's
telegram have been corroborated by
messages received b. National rail-
way officials. Only the reported sui
eide OF the commander in chief, Gen
Gonzales Salas, appears open to doubt.
The rebel victory came after four
dasy of almost continuous fighting, in
which the early advantage seemed to
be with the federal army. The fed
erals pressed forward through the out
posts of Orozco's forces and compelled
them to abandon the town of Escalon,
where the first serious resistance was
offered.
Dynamite Used by Rebels.
On Saturday the rebels fell back to-
wards Corralitos, which was selected
as the field Of the real battle There
the fight was resumed Sunday and con-
tinued with considerable energy until
the rebels executed a maneuver which
turned the tide against the federals
Under General Campo, 500 revolu-
tionists were sent by circuitous
route some miles south from Corrali
tos with instructions to fall in behind
the troop trains of the federal army
which were bringing up reinforce
ments.
In the meanwhile a locomotive load
ed with dynamite was prepared in the
rebel camp A volunteer engineer
piloted the locomotive out of town,
and when a federal troop train APP
preached the engine was started with
an open throttle, the engineer jumping
to safety. In the explosion, caused by
the collision of the locomotives eighty
federal soldiers were killed.
FederaIs Retreat by Night.
The move threw the federal army
into panic. BY this time Campa's de-
ploying party had closed in behind
the main federal forces and the real
attack of the revolutionaries began
Under cover of night the federals re-
treated and at daybreak the revolution
lists found their enemy had disap-
peared.
BY special instructions OF General
Orozco the prisoners sent north were
received with all honors of war at
Chihuahua. Their wounds received at.
tention and the soldiers were fed and
treated with respect. The number of
privates captured is not given.
The federals are said to be pouring
into Torreon, exhausted and panic
stricken by their defeat.
