MANAGERS AND ENGINEERS FAIL
TO MAKE SETTLEMENT OF
WAGE QUESTION.
FIFTY ROADS AFFECTED
REFERENDUM VOTE WILL BE IA.
KEN BEFORE WALK.our
Is CONSIDERED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

New York.-The conference commit.
tee of managers of fifty railroads east
of Chicago and north of the Norfolk
& Western railroad and their locomo-
tive engineers arrived at deadlock
over the question Of an increase and
standardization Of wages. The man.
ayers refused to accede to the de-
mands Of the men and the engineers
declined to accept this decision and
reaffifmed their demands.
It appears that the question will
have to be placed before the rank and
file Of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers employed by the railroads
for referendum vote as to what the
policy Of the engineers shall be. W. s.
Stone, grand chief engineer of the
brotherhood, in letter to ]. G. Stuart
of the Erie railroad and chairman OF
tho managers committee, said the en-.
gineers could not accept the decision
Of the managers and that If they had
nothing further to offer the matter
would be given into the hands of tho
engineers for decision.
Mr.. Stuart replied that the manag.
ers could add nothing to the state.
ment and that he hoped the members
Of the brotherhood would give 1t full
consideration when submitted to them.
The engineers had requested mini
mum wage Of s4.4O per day for passen-
ger service, $5.25 for freight service
and substantial increases for overtime.
They also asked increases for switch,
belt line and special engines, and spe.
Gifted that all electrical trains be
manned by engineers at steam railroad
prices.
The managers replied that to ac.
Quiesce in the demands would mean
an increase In wages Of about nine
teen per cent. and that they were un.
able to add this burden to their heavy
expenses. After they had read the re.
ply Of the managers, the representa-
tlves Of the engineers conferred and,
1t is said. agreed unanimously that It
was not acceptable.
Not until the result Of the joint con.
ference between the engineers and the
managers has been submitted to the
rank and file Of the $4,000 members OF
the engineers organization will the
question of walk-out be considered.

 HANG NEGRO WHITE
Sheriff Hood of M0ntg0m- cry Here to Secure Con-
 fessiOn From Negro

The preparations for the hanging of Armstead White, a negro, to talks place at the county jail tomorrow morning, are being made by the sheriff and his depu- ties. They find it impossible to get one of the negro porters in the courthouse to help in any way. and at the very mention of the rope or the hood their eyes roll and they look as though they wanted to run.
 Manuel Mosely. or Preacher" as he is generally called, gets the brunt of most of the joking as he says that you ain't gwine to ketch me around that CT rope or fixin' that CT negro. no suh." He says that "he's gwine to be down town when they hang that negro" If the white folks" were like the "colored folks" in that respect the sheriff might be saved the trouble of refusing many passes
 Sheriff Hood of Montgomery was in the city yesterday with Sam venable to see White and secure from him writ ten confession of the killing of Sam Venable's brother, a Montgomery mer- chant, whose death some three years ago in that city was a mystery. Some few days ago White made a confession to the killing of Venable, and Sheriff Hood and Venables brother, Sam, were in the city to obtain a written confession of the killing. White gave it willingly.

RAIDING A GAME"

Desk Sergeant Jimmie .Donelson vouches for the following story on a member of the Birmingham police de- partment:
 According to Jimmie negro reported that there was craps game in progress in certain alley on the Northside An officer was dispatched to the scene and distinctly heard the roll and rattle of the dice on the inside of the house. The blinds were down, but he could see a streak of light through a crack in a window. After waiting some time the officer concluded that the time was ripe Tor the raid and kicked in the door, ex- pecting to make a nice haul
 What he saw evidently surprised him. for an aged negro msn. about 65 wears old, was sitting on a chair eating a piece or watermelon, the seeds dropping down nlto tln pan. Hence the sound of .'the iaiiing dice Jimmie swears that the story is true.

Americanf concern, situated near La Maya, about seven miles from Santiago. were burned by Cuban insurgents yester- day. A detachment of 40 marines, un- der command of Captain Alexander S. Williams, r. s. NJ. C., arrived here today on a special train from Guantanamo to reinforce the garrison at the Firmesco mines, and protect the property of the Juruaga Iron company.
 As result of the latest Amnsey procla- nation Issued by Senator Monteaguedp. commander-in-chief of the government forces, about 300 insurgents came in today and surrendered to the military authori- ties. or this number however, not one brought in any weapon. This fact caused great uneasiness among the whites. who regard 1t as an indica tion that actual rebel forces are not diminishing,
 The United States 1attleship Mississippi left Guantanamo this afternoon with 5O marines aboard to reinforce the garrison at Fl Cuer mines, which Is threatened bv the insurgents. The gunboat Paducah sailed from Santiago today for an un- announced destination.
