Manager Ab- bott agreed to meet with a conference commit- tee of the strikers to-day. President Weihe, Vice President Nutt a Papert of the Amalgumated'associat calles strikers together this morning to obtain their senti- ment on tie plans of asettlement. The strikers have been called off pending the result of the conference and everthing is as quiet as though no strike was on. The conference meeting will be held in the rink. This conference will be between employes as individuals, and not as members of the Amalgamated association, and the firm. It is understood that the company still adheres to its sliding scale, but is willing to make some modifications and that the men are also anx- ious to effect a compromise. A harmonious meeting and settlement is expected. —_—— WAS DEVISED BY DILLON. Morris Walsh Tells Some Things about the Cronin Case. San Francisco, July 13—Morris Walsh, who is thought to be suspect Simonds, whose pho- tograph was given by Luke Dillon to the Chi- cago police as one of the Cronin conspirators, and who arrived on the steamer Acapulco yes- terday from Panama, has admitted his associa- tion for three years with Luke Dillon in Eu- rope, and said he was in Madrid with Dillon when Pigott came to his death. He proved he was here when Cronin was removed, but he lay over in this city from May 20 to May 25, probably to learn the results of the Cronin at- tempt. He has been working as a sailor on the Pacific mail steamer since last March, He claims to have known all about the Cronin case and says it was devised by Dillon and two other men as a warning to British spies, He darkly hints that Cronon is alive and will appear when it is safe for him to do so. ——.—___ The Dervishes Checked.

New Yorx, July 13, 11 a.m.—The general stock market this morning seemed to have got- | ten over its scare of yesterday, there being no pressure to sell, and a quiet business was done at a higher range of values. First prices were from }< to % percent higher than last even- ing’s ‘closing figures, and in many stocks this advantage was further increased by slight fractions, though most of the list yielded slightly, the fluctuations being small and un- important and the dealings unaccompanied by special feature beyond the moderate animation in @ few stocks such as St. Paul, Atchison, Louisville and Nashvilte, and Rock Island. The trusts, however, were still excited, though cotton oil wasan exception, being, like the regular list. quiet with small fluctuations, and well held. Chicago gas led off by opening down 1¢ per cent at 56% and quickly dropped to 5414, rallying to 56. Lead opened down 34 at 25 and im the early trading displayed some strength, moving up 4i, but then gave way and dropped to 23. but recovered a portion of the loss. Sugar also opened low, !4 at 109, and declined to 108, but afterward recovered the entire losa. American cattle trust sold at 1434. against 16 yesterday. Lead was sxtremaly active, but there were few 1,000 share lots sold. and the aggregate of the transactions was not so large as during the corresponding time yes- terday. The recovery in trusts was accom- nied by a firmer tone in the regular list, and at 11 o'clock the market was quiet and firm, with the regular list at slight fractious better than opening prices, as were aiso sugar and cot- ton oil. St. Paul, prefered, was a feature, jumping to 10834, against 1063; last evening. Noon.—Money has been easy, with no loans, closing offered at 23¢ percent. The general list remained dull after 11 0’ , though there was a firm tone and some slight improvements in values, but no special feature marked the trading. The trusts were more quiet but dis- played marked strength, and sugar led off in the upward movement and rose to 111%, Chicago gas following with a rise to 58. Later the stocks of the regular list showed more ani- mation and strength and the grangers, especi- ally St. Paul, Northwestern and Burlington moved up fractional mounts, The market finally closed quiet, but firm to strong, at the best prices of the day. “land Struck By Lightning.

Des Mores, Iowa, July 13.--On April 19, 1889, the Diamond Joe line filed a complaint with the Iowa railroad commissioners.charging that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail- road company was discriminating by refusing to receive freight consigned to points on the line of respondent's road unless the freight charges on snch consignments were prepaid. | The commissioners yesterday rendered their decision, They are of opinion that the receiv- ing of freight by the respondent from carriers renerally for delivery to points on its ne =o without ~— exacting = the ayment of charges and the refusal to extend the same privileges to complainant isa preference and discrimination forbidden by law, and the railway compauy is informed that in extend- ing privileges and facilities all carriers must be treated alike. The effect of this decision will be to give St. Louis low rates with Iowa, since shippers can use the river to Keokuk, Burling. ton, Davenport or cj river town and then finish the trip by rail. Chicago will have to meet the St. Louis rate, and thus interstate rates will indirectly be reduced, so that all lows cities will profit more or less by the change. An Unknown Body Found. Curcaco, July 13.—A man named Simmons found the body of a well-dressed unknown man in the woods near Evanston this morning. The head was reclining on an overcoat which had been rolled into a pillow. The man had been dead several days, and no or contusions could be found which it indicate foul play. No papers were found in the pockets, The was toa ‘9 in Evanston, TO CLASSIFY BALL PLAYERS. Mr. Spalding’s Letter Disclosing His Plan to President Young. NewjYorx, July 13.—President A. G. Spald- ing of the Chicago base ball club bas been at work for some time on a scheme to classify all the ball players in the country who are not members of the two leading leagues. His plan is embodied in a letter addressed to President Nick Young of the National league, in which he says: “My general plan would be something like this: The National league and American asso- ciation to continue as they are now, the gov- erning power in professional baseball. They jointly to make the playing rules and to fur- nish the system, means and power for ing out the laws as_ provided for in a national agreement and articles of qualified admission. other professional leagues and other asso- ciations to be divided into say four classes, to be known as class A, B, C and D. Class A would probably include such associations as the International league, Western association, California league and others of about the same “Class B to include associations whose draw- ing p powers would be about 25 per cent less than class A. “Class C to include associations whose draw- ae would be about 50 per cent less than e Class D to be the lowest, including clubs that —— afford to pay over $50 or @60 per month salaries. Continue the present plan of protection to minor leagues, with the Tight ierueaces oil the following modifications: Class D clubs to be obligated not to pa: salaries aggregating over $600 per month, an no individual player over $60 per mouth, All players in this class subject to requisition from any club of a higher class on, say, one week's notice upon payment of a fixed bonus of, wy, €250, to be paid to the club player, Class C, to pay salaries aggregating not over $1,000 per month, and no individual player to receive over $100 per month. All players in this class subject to requisition from any club in a high class upon payment of a is Bio p salaries ot to pay aggregating not over $1,500 per month, and no eeividual player to receive over $150 per month. All players in this class subject to requisition from clubs in class A, and the league and American associa-~ tion upon the payment of a bonus of $1,000. Class A, to pay salaries perre ating not over $200 per month ‘and no individual player to receive over $200 Le month. All players in this class subject to requisition only from league and American association clubs upon the payment of a bonus of $1,500. The league and American association to con- tinue their present reserve system. Modify this classification salary limit by makingin non- ouenre on players whose habits are exem- plary and who shall have completed a service of three years in the league or American asso- ciation. To discourt the league an: suggest that only one-half of the bonus paid for the release of a player shall go to the club releasing him, one-fourth to the player and one-fourth to the league or association of which the releasing club is a member. Iwould recommend board of appeals, sort of a supreme court, as it were, to whom could be referred for adjudication and settle- ment all disputes between associations and be- tween clubs and players, also the interpreta- tion of the playing rules and the constitution of the two leading associations, and all points coming up under the national agreement, the decision of this court to be final. I merely offer these ideas as crude sugges- tions,out of which I think can be evolved a more comprehensive scheme for handling profes- sional baseball in America than the plan we are now working under, I would suggest that yon communicate with the other League clu nd appoint & commit- tee for this purpose.” san ee Tho Gunboat Petrel’s Trial. Baxtimorz, July 13.—The gunboat Petrel, glistening in a new coat of white paint, started on her official trial-trip from the Columbian iron works at 11:45 a.m. to-day. The boat is in charge of Mr.Wm.

Not long ago the understanding was well grounded that the appointments were soon to be made. The President took the matter up and several citizens, including Mr. John W. Thomp- son, Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, and Judg Embry were sent for by the President and several names presented to them for their opinions, Most of those sent for, it is understood, had candidates of their own whom they advocated. and nothing came of the con- ferences. Then the question was raised as to whethe the incumbents were entitled to serve out a term of four years. The President decided that there was no obligation upon him to retain these men in office another year, and there the matter rests, except that it is understood that the appointments will be de- layed until fall.

One statement in explanation is that the Presi- — ae = promised the recordership to gent, who has gone off ona vacation on the Pacific coast and islands, and that the ap- pointment will not be made until his return. OPPOSED TO FURTHER DELAY. There is a very general feeling among local republicans that there should be no further delay in calling for the resignations of the democrats holding these offices, as they have csi Led the cream of the office fees for the - gerapaen meted i mcwemenoe my ness during ring an iy summer, an itis onid that to aelay the sppointment ‘until fall is practically to give the incumbent all the rewards of the office for the year, as the work and fees are light oe the fall and winter. The man going into the office in the fall will, it is urged, have to wait until spring for any substantial reward. THE CANIDATES urged for the office are both colored and white, but it is expected that a white man will be ap- pointed as itis more in accordance with the wishes of the people who have to do business with the office. There is something and color” fight for the place, but it is expected that the President will disregard this feature of the matter aad selecta man who appears to be best indorsed by the people whose business supports the office.

A number of politicians have attempted to get the President to disre- gard home rule, as Cleveland did, in respect to this office, but he has positively refused to fol- low this bad example, and there are several Senators and Representatives friendly to the a interests who sustain him in this posi- ion, WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID. The President said to one of these after the appointment of the District marshal that that was the only appointment in the District that should go to an outsider. Senators Sherman and Teller, Representa- tives Butterworth and others have earnestly advocated home rule and have found the Pres- ident in accord with them. The sentiment among the business men is undoubtedly in favor of appointing a white man to the re- cordership, first because of the affront Cleve- land gave the District people by making col- ored iuportations and secondly because they did not like the idea of a particular office being set aside as acolored man ing a purely race distinction. AGAINST IMPORTATIONS. But the home rule feeling is strongest; whether colored or white they want the new recorder tobe a District business man, who will know the needs of the office and take an interest in the city. Democrats and republi- cans alike protest against any “‘importations.” The work of the office is very important—im- portant especially that it should be done ” promptly, Asa citizen expressed it to a Srar reporter: “We want one of our own people, a hustler, a man who Will give the office close and careful super- vision, having the records always up to date. ‘The office needs better attention than it has received for the past ten or fifteen years. I don’t mean thata man must have been born here in order to be eligible to the office, but he should have lived here a number of vears as a tix payer, becoming a citizen and fully identi- fied with the city’s interests. He need not be one of the moss-backs of crate It is bet- ter that he should be a young and active man of the present da: WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

Diver Robert Rogers was engaged in making examinations of the piers of the free bridge until about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, A pretty thorough examination was made and his report upon each pier, except the soutaern one, was, as was anticipated, that they we re al right ‘THE WORK OF REPAIR IN PROGRESS TO-Dar. ‘The failure of the scow to put in an appear- ance this morning and other drawbacks caused considerable time to be lost in getting to work. Aforce of about fifteen men were employed and the active work of strengthening the dam- aged south pier was begun to-day. It is thought that about thirty-five barrels of cement will be used in filling the break in this pier, ther with a lot of rip-rap. A large pred raphe moe ylvowy gern and upon it is ‘ks it with an iron rammer. Rogers, the diver, is said to have a thorough oe masonry and has. on several oc- casions, been employed upon such work as he is now under , anda good job is conse- quently looked for. ANOTHER DIVER ENGAGED. To hasten the repairing of the damaged pier another diver has been engaged, who will ar- rive on Monday from New York and begin work at once. Each diver is to work five hours a = it is thought by this means the work will be completed and the barricades removed from the bridge, allowing travel to be resymed in about ten days. CAPT. SYMONS’ PLAN OF OPERATIONS will be followed by the divers in the work of repair. The captain, in his formal report to Major Raymond, recommends: “That the masonry washed out be replaced by concrete. made rich in cement, to be placed in bags and ked in as closely as possible into the gap. he cement used to be quick-setting. When this is packed in and all interstices filled u as much as possible with concrete I woul: then recommend that the pier be protected by heavy rip-rap, each stone to weigh not less than a ton, on the upper stream side and alo’ “eg ge I wou!

Captain Symons went over to the bridge this morning to see how everything was getting along. He found his men hard at work put- ting in the concrete at the base of the settling pier. In conversation with a Stan reporter he said that it was ditlicult todetermine whether the pier would fall or not, It was still settling, he said, and if it con- tinued at the present rate it would surely fall in a few days. He said his men, however, were doing ell they could to stop the settling and were putting in the concrete as fast as cages he diver, he said, had completed is labors as far as the other piers were con- cerned and had reported them all right. At the least calculation the captain thought that it would require a week to repair the damaged pier sufficiently to allow a renewal of traffic. If the pier falls, he said, a coffer dam will be built and the pier reconstructed. a SOLDIERS FOR POLICEMEN, is to be Gens. Kelton and Schofield Do Not Agree About Their Discharge. There is a controversy between Adjutant General Kelton and Gen. Schofield over a matter of considerable local interest. The law requires that only honorably discharged soldiers and sailors shall be appointed to the Metropolitan police force. This restriction force at all times, and several unsuccessful at- tempts have been made to have the law re- pealed. Last Congress made provision for a considerable increase of the police force, and on the Ist of July the money became available. To overcome the difficulty in the way of get- ting good men Major Moore struck the idea of selecting a number of desirable men from the third artillery, stationed here, whose terms of enlistment were pretty nearly up, and to arrange for their discharge so that they might be appointed to the police force. He saw Adjutant General Kelton about the matter. In the interest of the city and partly, perhaps, as a means of reward for good service to those who might be selected, General Kelton agreed to the plan, with the understanding that those chosen should have served long enough to pre- clude the idea of their having enlisted merely as a means of getting on the police force, and that their records in every instance should be such as to make them deserving. Twelve rivates of the third artillery were selected by ajor Moore and their discharges asked for. Adjutant General Kelton ~ pete the applica- tion, but the discharges did not come. General Schofield did not approve of the action. and, it is understood, claimed that General Kelton had exceeded his authority in the matter. It is said that General Kelton insists — the dis- charges, and that the matter will be brought to the attention of the Secretary of War on his return. WHAT COL, MOORE SAXS. Col. Moore said to-day that the request for the discharge of a dozen or so of the soldiers of the third artillery has been partially com- plied with by the discharge of eight, and that three others may be discharged, as their cases are under consideration.
