Weaver, a well-known waiter at the Pittsburg Club of Pittsburg, Pa., is charged with larceny and the forgery of a check for $1,064. Weaver resigned his position at the club and left the city April 1. His present whereabouts are unknown. Attorney O. D. Thompson, a member cf the club, was innocently drawn into the affair by indorsing the check and vouching for Weaver at a bank where the latter was not known.

The fourteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad Company at Boston yesterday morning was called to order in Horticultural Hall, at 10 o'clock, Vice President Edward F. Atkins presiding. ‘The first business of the morning was a submission of the directors’ report for the Past year. The report shows a deficit on the whole system of $2,505,841, compared with a sur- plus in the previous year of $2,06¥,757. The heavy decrease was due to the silver crisis, the failure of the Kansas wheat crop, and the general prostration of business. Reorganization Plans Adopted. The Boston News Bureau understands from authoritative sources that the execu- tive authorities at Washington and the Union Pacific reorganization committee have agreed upon Attorney General Olney’s lan for an adjustment of the Union Pacific bt to the government. Judge Headley of New York, as the rep- resentative of the Attorney General, has been at work upon the details of the matter, and tomorrow Attorney General Olney, it is understood, will submit his bill for an adjustment of the railroad debt to the government, to which all parties in interest, it is believed, will readily assent. It will then remain with Congress to say if it will take up the question of a settle- ment at this session, and Washington ad- vices are to the effect that under the leader- ship of the Pacific railroads committee, the measure will be taken up and passed, pos- sibly before the tariff legislation is finished. Attorney General Olney's bill, it is said, provides for the full payment of the gov- ernment and accrued interest. The govern- ment lien will remain unchanged, and be improved by the cancellation of $7,500,000 of the first mortgage bonds of the railroad sinking fund in the U. S. treasury, which will reduce the first mortgage to $26,000,000. This will be extended by the railroad company for seventy-five years, with an annual sinking fund of $45,000. The re- mainder of the U. S. treasury sinking fund will be used for the benefit of the property. Until 1905 the Union Pacific willl pay 2 per cent per annum upon its debt to the government, and after 1905 it will pay prin- cipal and interest, adjusted upon a 2 per cent interest basis, by means of 100 annual Payments to the government of $1,650,000 each. It is provided that the total fixed charges of the company shall rot exceed $8,500,000 per annum. To accomplish this, it is understool, the reorganization committee has agreed upon a 4 per cent general mortgage bond for the absorption of the junior liens of the com- pany, but many of the prior liens will not be interfered with. This government settlement and reorgani- zation of the Union Pacific will be without reference to the Gulf, Short Line and Navi- gation systems. —_——_+e+—____ Breckinidge’s Opponents in Control. A Louisville dispatch says: The demo- cratic state central committee this after- noon elected a chairman of the congres- sional committee for the Ashland district to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of E. Polk Johnson. This was the first move in the Breckin- ridge campaign. There were four candi- dates—J. Hull Davidson of Lexington, a Breckinridge man; Alexander Grant and William Lindsay of Frankfort, and Field McLeod of Versailles. McLeod is known to be an Owens man. McLeod was elected by a handsome majority. McLeod the new member, is satisfactory to the Settle people. Mr. Settle said that what Owens and he wanted was an anti-Breckinridge man who would call an early convention, and give all sides an opportunity to make a thorough canvass, Hogan's Industrial Army Sur- rounded in Montana. STORY OF THE FIGHT AT BILLINGS of the Various Brigades on Washington. UNDER MANY LEADERS The arm of the law has reached out and seized the Montana army of the common- weal. The army, 650 strong, came in at Forsyth, Mon., from the west last night. Its leaders gave it out that the train would remain at Forsyth until morning, At 11:30, however, the engineer went to the round- house and deliberately proceeded to take out a fresh engine and prepare for the trip eastward. In the meantime, Col. Page of Fort Keogh had secured a special train and was thundering down the road to meet the train-stealing contingent. He came into Forsyth shortly after midnight and found @ Jarge part of the Coxey army asleep in the box cars. The surprise was so complete that the Coxeyites gave up without a struggle. The troops left most of the men aboard the train and surrounded it. ‘When the Montana commune arrived ey were informed that 600 United States regulars were ‘waiting for them at Fort Keogh, forty-three miles east. The leaders were considerably disconcerted over this announcement, but stated that they 4id not Propose to turn back or desert the train. Some of the men said the train would Me her until daylight, but there was an impression abroad that this information was given out as a blind, and that the train would be on its way again soon after midnight. The Fight at Billings. No one was killed in the fight between the industrial army and marshal’s deputies in Montana, reported in a postscript editon of The Star yesterday. At noon the 500 members of Hogan's ar- my, on their stolen trains, arrived at Bil- lings, but close on their heels was a train bearing fifty deputies. A conflict was at once precipitated, which resulted in one man on each side being severely wounded. The deputies overtook them at Columbus, a small station, and demanded their surren- der. Gen. Hogan paid no attention to the commands of the deputies to give up pos- session of the stolen train and ordered his Men to go ahead. . The two trains came on slowly during forenoon, the deputies closely following af- ter the Coxeyites and watching for an Dortunity to seize them and their trains. arriving at Billings a stop was ordered and | the conflict resulted. United States Mar- shal McDermott ordered the leaders of the | refusal army to surrender, and on their few of the deputies nervously and without any orders fired upon the men in the cars. A few shots were exchanged before the marshal could regain controk of his men and stop the firing. During the firing one of the deputies was seriously wounded, and at least one of the army was wounded. Marshal McDermott decided that his men Were not equal to the work cut out for them, and as soon as he got his men to stop firing he withdrew them and notified the authorities that his force was insuffi- cient for the arresting of so large a mob. ‘When shown the dispatches telling of the ht at Billings, Gen. Kelley was deeply affected. “This is awful,” he said. “I fear our cause is ruined. Bloodshed is wrong; resistance of authorities is wrong; it is all wrong. We are now reduced to the level of &@ mob. Militia may be called out at any moment to stop our progress. This gives them an excuse to regard us as lawless. I would give my life to have this day’s work undone. There is no excuse for the action of the Montana men. I don’t know them and have not been in communication with them, but I did not believe that they would resort to eee a Speed talked in the same strain and wept freely over the intelligence. He, too, feared that his cause would be injured. The New England Division. Swift's New England industrial army en- Joyed a refreshing night's sleep, and early yesterday morning, immediately after breakfast, were drawn up in line at Olney- ville, R. L, and harangued by Swift. Pitz- gerald sent a dispatch to the selectmen of East Greenwich, R. I., stating that the army would stop over in that town last night, and requested that provisions be made to accommodate the delegation. The Olneyville contingent were barred out by order of Commander Fitagerald, who decided that enough men were enroiled in the ranks. Then, at 9 o'clock, the band set out on a fifteen-mile trip for East Greenwich. The Olneyville delegation, in charge of ey Gannon, started cut at 2'p.m. yesterday, and will join the indus- trials at New Haven. Gannon's corps was preceded by a band of fifteen men, under the leadership of Wm. Gannott, who claims that his crowd represents Rhode Island. ‘Gannon’s party is headed by a snare drum. When Swift's men left Olneyville they proceeded slowly up to Plainfield, through Cranston and over the Pontiac road. While this course is the longest, the original plans were changed when it was discovered that one and perhaps two independent armies would go over the Hartford pike. Towns on this short cut are so small that the leaders feared every one would suffer. At 5:15 o'clock the army reached Appon- aug, where it was intended to spend the night. Word had been received from East Greenwich, however, that the town awaited them with open arms and had prepared for their reception, This information revived the weary men and aroused them to such action that they did not stop to rest in the first town selected, but hurried on and covered three miles in less than forty- five minutes. At East Greenwich they re- ceived an ovation. The sleepy old town awoke to the novelty of the movement, and hundreds of people crowded out to meet the commonwealers. The men were taken to a hall, where the supper of canned corn- ed beef, bread, cookies and coffee that had been prepared by the people was served. An Exciting Day With Frye. Yesterday was an exciting day for Frye's army of industrials at Terre Haute. Tues- day night its 300 members captured a Van- dalia freight train, with the intention of going east, but the train was abandoned by the crew, and ‘that stopped operations, the men camping out all night on the track and using the company’s ties for firewood. Yes- terday afternoon the army captured another freight train bound east at Prairie, a few miles east of Terre Haute. The train men were informed that there were engineers and firemen among the soldiers, and if they id not move the men of the army would. After a parley of about an hour the train men took the train to Brazil, where the industrials got off. They. were camped there last night. These acts of lawlessness have aroused the indignation of citizens. Gen. Frye’s division reached Brazil in sections, some by rail and some on foot. They pitched their tents on the commons, between the Vandalia and the Chicago and Indiana coal road depot. The army pa- raded the streets late last evening. Peace in Kelley’s Cam Comparative peace reigns in Kelley’s camp. The general, Col. Baker and Col. Speed have been brought together and sworn allegiance to the army, and the army, with the excep- tion of one company, is again a unit. The return of the white-winged fowl was brought out by Rev. J. G. Lemen, the Coun- cil Bluffs minister, who was active in arous- ing sympathy for Kelley in Omaha. Speed and Baker submitted their conditions to Kelley. One was that a treasurer should be appointed to carry funds, and should keep his books open for inspection. The second condition provided for a consultation of the three officers in event of emergencies, and the third and most important called for the reinstatement cf Baker and Speed. Kelley hesitated for a time, but finally accepted the conditions, insisting, however, that the colonels pledge themselves to future obe- The Portland Contingent. ‘The Portland, Ore., contingent of the in- dustrial army, about five hundred strong, began its march eastward yesterday over the line of the Union Pacific. The supposi- tion is that it is their intention to capture a train before proceeding far. The Grayson Contingent, ‘The Grayson contingent of the common- weal army left Evan, Col., yesterday morn- ing about 7 o'clock in overland wagons, fur- nished by sympathizers. The army number 126 men. More Attempted Train Stealing. An attempt was made late Tuesday night by the industrials to capture a Northern Pacific freight train at Portland, Ore. About 800 members of the industrial army went to the Union depot for that purpose, but Chief of Police Hunt was on hand, with thirty officers, and prevented it. It is ru- mored an attempt will be made to capture a Union Pacific freight train. The Duluth Men Will Take a Steamer. William Hellman, a saloon keeper at Du- luth, Minn., is organizing a Duluth branch of the commonweal army. He claims that he will be able to muster 1,000 men. The purpose is to charter « whaleback steamer and make the trip by lake. The army will leave Duluth on May 10 or 15. Two “Armies” Forming in St. Louis. Joseph M2yer, who has acquired the title of “general” since he lost his job, is organiz- ing a detachment at St. Louis to go to Washington and join Coxey. He says he has 500 names on his list. He plans to march across the at noon on Monday next and sei the first freight train going east. The unemployed railroad men of St. Louis are also organizing a detachment, and the two forces may combine. Raising an Army in Clinton County, New York. Clinton county, N. Y., is going to send a contingent to Washington to join Coxey’s commonweal army. The headquarters of the army art at Plattsburgh, where James Heffernan is in command. The “great unknown,” however, is on the way from Vermont with a large com . Several meetings have been held, and. tecrulte are coming in rapidly. The start for Washing- ton will be made in a day or two. 4 WOMAN TO LEAD THEM. Gen.

BYRNES WOULD DO. The Coxeyites Wouldn’t Last Long in New York City, Says the Superin- tendent. * From the New York Tribune. “What do you think of Coxey’s army? Was the question asked yesterday by a Tribune reporter who ran across Superin- tendent Byrnes .t police headquarters. “Not much of it, but a good deal about it,” was the reply. which was suggesti' for when Thomas Syrnes, New York's able superintendent of police, thinks much about anything his views are iikely to be inter- esting. “If the army came to New York, Mr. Superintendent, what would aor” “Under the law of this state,” Mr. Byrnes said, “they could not march through the city without a permit, and I certainly would not grant one to them.” “What about their march country to Washington?’ “I think it is the most us move- ment that this country has witnessed since the war. It is an outrage that an army actoss the general government, but are self-consti- should march’ through several states of the Union to the Capitol at Washtagton. ‘The movement is un-American and a dis- | grace to the country, even if it is not revo- lutionary, and it should be stopped.” “Has not the movement been looked at by the country as harmless?” “Perhaps so, but it is no joke when such able people, getting support on their march | partly by such intimidation, and for the seat of the national government with the declared intention of our lawmakers in Congress to submit to their preposterous demands.” “How could they be stopped?” “If there is no law on the statute books by which the progress of such an army through several states can be prevented, Congress is now in session, and the sooner such a law is patsed the better it will be for the peace and security of the people of this country. There is a general feeling of s0- this country. It is to be noticed whenever there is a strike and wherever there is a clash between employers and their work- men, That is why the march of Coxey’s army should be stopped. There is no move- ment which could have a greater tendenc’ to fan and foster that socialistic feeling.” “Is not the army too small to make se rious trouble?” “The example set by Coxey’s men is being followed by other unauthorized bands, until there is no telling how many will be head- ing for Washington shortly. Just fancy having, under a form of government like ours, from 5,000 to 30,000 unemployed and practically destitute men encamped about Washington and demanding of the general government succor and support, when they should be at home in their own states, earn- ing their bread by honest labor. What will be done with the men when they get to Washington? The more that are allowed to go there the harder will be the task of disposing of them. If they are abandoned by their leaders and left to starve there will be bloodshed. Are they to get free trans- portation back to their homes, or will they be permitted to beg and steal and terrorize the city of Wasaington?” “What is your opinion regarding the char- acter of the men in the commonweal army?" “My belief is that about 98 per cent of them are foreigners. I can’t imagine how any true American could so far humiliate himself as to join in a begging expedition of that kind. All of the men doubtless are tramps or cranks. There probably is not one among the lot who could be considered an able mechanic or a fair laborer. They don’t like work, and very likely they would | stear if they had opportunity.” home will | “a of men should be got together by unauthor- | ized persons who hold no offices under the | tuted generals, colonels and captains, and a crowd of men can be permitted to march | through the country, intimidating perce- | cialistic sympathy among certain classes in | UNION VETERANS’ UNION Members of the Order Welcome Theis room was at a premium.
