Refused by Roads

New York. March 25.--The con-
ference committee Of managers Of
fifty railroads, east of Chicago and
north Of the Norfolk e. Western rail-
road, and their locomotive engl-
neens, arrived at a deadlock to-
night, over the question of increase
in and standardization of wages.
Managers today refused to accede to
tho demands of the men and tonight
engineers declined to accept this de-
cision and re-affrmed their de-
mands.
AS matters now stand IL appears
that the question will have to be
placed before the rank and file OF
tho Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, employed by the railroads
for referendum vote. as to what
policy the engineers shall be.
The engineers had requested 2
minimum rate of s440 a day for
passenger service, $685. for freight
service and substantial increases for
overtime. They also asked for in
creases for switch, belt line and spe.
cial engines and specified that al
electric trains should be manned b,
engineers at steam railroad pay.

o'clock this afternoon the battle OF
Corralitos, which began YESTERDAY,
CONTINUED furiously. In the rebel
camp the federal dead were eatimat-
ed at 400 and the rebel mortality at
100. The estimate Of the govern
ment's losses is based by General
Campo on interviews with prisoners
Probably they are exaggerated to an
extent.
Among those wounded today, it is
reported, was General Planquet, one
of the most daring govern
ment leaders The report that Cen,
Salas was wounded Is incorrect and
due to the omission OF a mark Of
punctuation in the dispatch. The
rebels hold superior positions in the
heights on the hanks and in front OF
the government troops The latter,
despite their losses. show no signs
Of surrender. AS viewed by General
Campo, however, their only chance
Of prolonging the fight much longer
is the arrival of u detachment CT 500

.DENEEN ORDERS
SPECIAL SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
Lawmakers Called Together to Con-
slider Preferential Primary Act
for April 9.
OTHER MEASURES ARE DUE
State House Appropriations, Medi-
cal School Act and Oiher Laws
May be Considered

Springfield, March 25. Gov De-
neen today ordered a call issued for
a special session OF the Legislature,
to act on proposed preferential
presidential primary bill. The sca-
sion will begin late tomorrow after
noon.
Some time ago the Governor an
nounced that ii two-thirds of the
legislators would agree to pass such
a bill he would call special session
and it became known today that the
necessary number was willing. To
make the law effective in time for
the primaries, April 9, as an emerg-
oncy n sure. the bill requires the
affirmative vote of two1thirds of the
legislators.
In a statement made public with
call, for tho special session, GOV.
Deneen declared that, aside from the
presidential preference primary
question, there is need for an extra
ordinary session of the Legislature.
Among the subjects which he deems
necessary for the legislators to take
action on in the near future, are APP
propriations for the repair of the
state capitol and the state fair build
ines, injured in the Springfield
cyclone, amendment of the insur-
ance laws and the yalidation of the
appropriation for the University of
Illinois Medical school, which re-
Gently was declared by the State Su
preme Court to have been impr0p~
erly passed and therefore void. Gov.
Denoen said that if other laws were
found to come under the ban Of the
Supreme Court decision they would
be added to the call.
1t is the idea of the Governor that
the General Assembly shall pass the
preferential primary act and then
recess until a more convenient sea-
son, to consider the other matters,
covered by the call for the special
session.
