2 WORKNEN WILL RESIST A CUT Railway Employes Determined to Follow Receivers from Court to Court, UNION PACIFIC WAGES NOT SETTLED Employes Will Go Before the Coart at St. Louls and Oppose the Proposed Reduc- Probable Cc ise of the Gulf 3 There Is evidently a disposition on the part Pacifie receivers to proceed originally mapped out for of the system, standing the order of Judges Hallett and Riner of the district court of Colorado and Wyoming. The order of Judge Dundy regarding the was sent out last week to ull the interests affected, although to the employes In Colorado Wyoming the order Is simply a matter of Informatiol supplementary orders of Judges Hallett Riner making it impossible to put the hedule In force March 1, as designed by the recelvers. In Oregon, lo and Nebraska, so far schedules will be put in undoubtedly entail a great of trouble to the management of the road in properly apportioning the wages. Had the order not been sent out the road would have been in contempt to Judge Dundy, which the com. pany did not desire Messrs. Thurston and Cowin, who are in 8t. Louls, to appear before the circuit court and ask for a hearing on the merits of the sase, will probably remain several days, the hearing mo doubt being fixed for a later jeriod, as the circuit court does business ry differently from the courts of Ne- of the Union along the lines the conduc notwit wage schedule and the and now Under the procedure of the circuit court sach party is allowed his day in court, which 18 a principle of common law rigidly observed by the higher courts of the coun- try At the hearing both sides, parties to the suit, will be represented, and the case heard purely on its merits. A telegram from Denver states that Judge Hallett was to leave yesterday for the Pacific coast, which means that there will be no change In the Union Pacific- ulf situation some time to come. There seems to be a growing legal idea that whatever legal steps may be taken the ulf and Union Pacific people will not await their issue, but will get together and com- promise their differences, including that with the labor untons A repr ntative of one of the labor organizations represented on the system, in speaking of the status of af- fairs on the Union Pacific, said Messrs. T. Fulton Gantt, John H. Croxton and George L. Hodges, who represented the dif- ferent organizations before Judges Riner and Hallett at Denver last week, have been authorized to look after the interests of the men in the circuit court of the United States whenever the attorneys for the Union Pacific appear bofore the court and seek to have the men submit to the re- vised schedule. *“‘We are thoroughly posted, he said, “as to the movements of Messrs. Thurston and Cowin and we do not propose to submit to a reduction in wages, although the attorneys call it an equalization, unle we have to. 1 believe it is the intention o the attorneys for the organization to go be- fore the circuit court and ask that the order of Judge Dundy be set aside In view of con- flicting orders made by Judges Riner and Hallett. I do not believe the men on the Union Pacific ever contemplated a strike, put they are determined that the higher rourts should pass upon quesiions affecting labor interests. “There is* one erroneous Hmpression abroad regarding the men on the Nebraska Aivision not being affected that 1 desire to ‘corvéct; The &witchmen are considerably uffected by thy new schedul trainmen and conductors. The engineers mnd firemen are least affected on the div sion, but they come in for a small cut also. My own opinion is that the schedule will not be put in force March 1, but that before that time a compromise will be reached whereby the intervention of the courts will not be necessary. CENTRAL TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION Managers Declde 0 Various Re- Business. CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—The general managers of the Central Trafic association lines run- ning east from Chicago met today and de- cided that all divisions of business shall hereafter be made on the basis of the Amer- ican agreement. No money is to be paid by one road to another as an equalizer, but it any road runs below its allotted percent- age of the business it will be allowed to lower its rates until the increased volume of business shall make up the deficiency. If, on tho other hand, any line goes over its pe centage, it will be compelled to raise its rates until the business is diverted sufi- clently to give the other lines their proper proportion. The Minneapolls & St. Louis has opened up an old source of trouble by establishing a ticket office in the West hoiel in Minneap- olls. It bases its action upon the course of other lines in the Western Passenger asso- clation which have placed their tickets in the hands of ticket agents. This office has created great trouble before, and will prob- ably do 50 again. At Springfield, 1L, today articles of con- solidation of the Baltimore & Ohlo South- western and the Chicago & Mississippi were filed With the secretary of state. General JUDGE CALDWE Thurston and Cowin Take the Unlon Matter to the Cireuit Cou ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14.—John C. Cowin, s clal government counsel, and John M. Thurston, attorney for the receivers of the Vulon Pacific railroad, arrived here today from Omaha to present to Judge Henry C. Caldwell of the United States circuit court petitions for the relief from. recent orders made by United States Judges Hallett and Riner. Nothing ‘was done today in the case be- d calling upon Judge Caldwell and ask- him to set a day for a hearing. Their briefs are already prepared and are voluminous documents, being. princi- pally exhibits. In effect the attorneys seek to couple the interests of the government and the bondholders and to secure orders which will enable the recelvers to run the system in its owners' interest rather than in- that of the beneficlaries of contracts made before the recelvers took hold. The two leading features of the case as it will be brought up here will be the Julesburg cut-off and the wages seale Mr. Thurston today sald the traffic ar- rangement of the Unon Pacific with the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf road, by which the former was obliged to run over the Julesburg branch was a contract which has cost the Union cific $1,000,000 a year, the deficit yearly of the Unlon Pacific, Denver & Gulf.'

Mr. Thurston also holds that the wage schedule made by former officials of the road is not binding upon the recelvers, his opinfon having been sustained by the cir- cuit courts of Nebraska and Oregon, and he will try to get that contract overthrown or modified “All that we are asking," sald Judge Thurston, “Is that the cireuit Judge will set a time to hear the controversy between the eivers of the Union Pacific road and the receivers of the Gulf road upon the ques- tion as to which order of the two courts, Nebraska or Colorado, which are diametric- ally opposite, shall be obeyed by the re- calvers. Undor the present situation of affairs It the rocelvers obey the order of Judge Hallett of Colorado they are in con- tempt under the order of Judge Dundy of ebraska aud vice versa." Talle of n Rock Island Man. General Superintendent Dunlap of ithe Rock Island is in Omaha enroute over the system. Mr. Dunlap, talking to a reporter, said that the recent storm in Chicago was the severest he had ever experienced during his long railroad car “The wind blew at the rate of seventy miles an_hour, and tho snow was blindnig. We had a block- ade in our yards at Chicago that took sev- eral hours to straighten out, the Ilinois Central refusing to send out a single train during the day. On the Rock Island we suf- fored little, except between Belleville and Phillipsburg on the Kansas division. We were tied up there for several hours, but got through in fairly good time, “Our Texas business is very good, the Rock Island coming to the front as the only line to Texas points.” Asked if the Rock Island contemplated ex- tending the system this year, Mr. Dunlap said: I do not believe a single mile of con- struction work will be done this year. The conditions are greatly against rallroad build- ing and I can see little hope for the railroads before next fall. We went into the winter ex- cellently equipped, the World's fair entailing considerable work which has stood us well since the fair closed. Physically we are in splendid condition and quite able to handle all the business that comes to us. We have not cut salares a single dollar, like many of our competitors, but as the work grew slack we laid off a number of surface men and others who were not necessary to us when business commenced to fall off. Talking} for Holland Stockholders. Assistant Secretary Orr of the Unlon Pa- cific, talking of the proposition made by A. H. H. Bossevain, representative of the Holland holders of the Union Pacific stock, before the senate committee of Pacific railroads anent the organization scheme, said that so far as he knew the proposition was very fair, al- though he had some doubt as to its adoption entire. “‘There are so many Interests to be considered (hat it will take a long time, to my way of thinking, before a proposition ac- ceptable to all holders will be devised. Then it ‘will have to stand the fire of the senate, the antagonism of some of the down east members being assured. Whether Mr. Bosse- vain's_proposition regarding the bond per mile ($10,000) is designed to cover the whole system or only the government's interest I cannot tell from a reading of the telegram. My Impression is that it only relates to the government mortgage, as the road could not be buflt even in these times for $10,000 a mile and some portions of it for not less than § 000. T think It is the wish of all interests that some speedy solution of this question be devised, but hasty action is not to be ex- pected and it will be some time before any accoptable solution s decided upon.” Rallronid Notes. C. A. Goodnow, superintendent, and G. R. Morrison, assistant superintendent of the Milwaukee, were in Omaha yesterday. A. H. King has been appointed superin. tendent of bridges and_buildings of the Wyoming division of the Union Pacific. General Agent R. R. Ritchie.of the North~ western, who Is In_southern California for the benefit of his health, will probably res turn_home the last of February. HE CORRIDORS: “I know a man in Montana who looked upon the bright side of life, even from a hospital window,” said Chauncey Olcott of New York at the Millard. “The cause of the silver lining to his cloud happened in Butte, where gambling is carried on openly on the first floor, and no saloon is complete without a poker table. It seems that a sporly young fellow from Baltimore went to the great mining camp a few years ago, imbued with a feverish ambition to live In tho west and be a tough man. He dritted to a. position in Buite and immediately adopted the typical sombrero and garb of a westorn camp follower. When not en- gaged in presiding over a set of books in a retail store, where he secured employ- ment, he put in his time playing a quiet game of poker with loungers around one of the gambling houses. He was a trifle inexperienced in his first sitting, but achieved considerable distinction upon that occaslon. The young man from Baltimore was sitting in a_game with four profes- sional fleecers. Whenever he had a good hand the others invariably staid out, and whenever he had a pair they generally came In and bet agatnst him. ~After losing some of his long green, it finally dawned upon him that he was belng plucked. With a quiet smile, he concluded fo watch the man in front of him, who sat with an occasional glance at a mirror behind the tenderfoot from the east—a fact which the latter also discovered at last, but quietly concluded to let the fleecers play their string out, The next deal the Baltimorean got two pair. Immediately the sharper ss the table tossed his cards into the ard, and after a quick glance in the glass proceeded to glve the signal to his three pals as to what the eastern man’s hand coutained. Then the Baltimorean saw the system by which he had been robbed all along. The sharper rested his hand on the table, with two fingers laid flat (hereon. The balance of his hand was closed. Glanc- ing at his own cards, the Baltimore man saw that it contalned two pair. The slgnal for two palr was two fingers, Quick as a flash the young man whipped a bowie knife from his side and deliberately drew its sharp edge across the two fingers of the fleecer pletely amputating them. With a how ain, he fell in a faint. A physician was smmoned and the gambler was taken to the hospital, His friends visited him next day and found him whistling merrily. They were astonished. They expressed surprise at his jovial spirit when his hand was com- pletely lost to view In bandages. ‘I'm happy, boys,’ the patient said in explanation, ‘Huppy to think that the tenderfoot from Baltimore only had two pair ‘when he got on to our code of table signals and cut my two fingers off. If he had had a full house, and I had lald my four fingers and thumb on the table to give you fellows the tip, just think what I would . have lost beneath that gharp blade which he used so smoothly.’ "' “There 15 atempest n a teapot in the Colorado loglslature Just how,” sald Hon. Jud L. Brush of Greeley, Colo., at the Pax- ton. “The speelal session of the legislature has accomplished nothing, and there are strained relations between the state senate and lower house. There s no monoy to pay the members of the legislature and the state auditor refuses to issue warrants. The ses- sion has t $50,000 so far as expenses are con ned, but the mem s are whistling for thoir toney. They may get it in the fuc ture. The people are thoroughly disgusted With the popullstic administration and_the Atate will surely go republican in the next | election. Sentiment is favorable to the Bland selgniorage bill ‘because the people of Colorado realize that a half loaf is better than none. 1 think that free coinage will be followed by a bill favoring the colnage | of the American product. In a few years you will find them both supplanted by a free and unlimited coluage measure.” “I do not antielpate any trouble among employes over the recent cut on the moun- tain division of the Unlon Pacific,” sald | Superintendent Bancroft of Ogden at the | Millard. ““There are. no mutterings of a strike and I think the men realize fully the nocessity of being reasonable during these timee. I do not anticipate any breaking up of the Union Pacific system. I think the Utah & Northern and the Oregon Raliway & Navigation company will neither of them be divorced from the Overland route.

Jim McCoy of St. Paul had an easy mark in Hi Andrews of Omaha at a Cut-Oft isl- and resort last night. While Andrews showed up taller and longer in reach than the St. Paul boy, a novice could see that he was outclassed. Angrews made the first lead, but fell short, and McCoy landed a heavy blow on his heart that faded him and made him take water. Only the coaxings of his sec- onds made him come up for the remaining three rounds. In the second he stepped out in good shape and led with his right, but a right hand swing from McCoy on his left ear took all the remaining sand out of him and for the other two rounds he simple plece of clay, to be any grotesque form that McCoy chose. At the end of the fourth he drew out, though he was far from being knocked out. As a finisher Jimmy Lindsay and Jack Gorman sparred three rounds, with every- thing in Gorman's favor. was a moulded into GRAND CIRCUIT DAT) American Trotting Assoclation Moets in New York and Divides Ti NEW YORK, I 14.—About 100 dele- gates, representing the 534 trotting organiza- tions which belong to the National Trotting assoclation, met in biennial congress here today. President P. P, Johnston called_the meeting to order. The officers were all Te- elected for the ensuing two years, with the exception of Charles Schwartz of Chicago, who was replaced by J. 8. Gordon of Chicago. The committes for revision of the trotting rules then reported. ~Amendments to the rules are, with few exceptions, similar to those recommended by the joint committees of the National and American Trotting asso- clations, held last March in this city. A letter was recelved from David Bonner, advocating the shortening of races. The board of stewards held a meosing during the day and fixed the dates for the grand circuit meetings of this season. The Plmlico track at Baltimore was ad- mitted to the grand circuit, but as the time which was allotted to them was considered to be too late in the year, their application was withdrawn. After arranging dates for the eastern cir- cuit, which will open July 9 at Pittsburg, the meeting adjourned to meet in Rochester May next. Among the prominent men pres- ent was U. C. Blake of Cedar Rapids, Ia. NATIONAL AGUE PLAYERS, Cleveland Base Ball Players Hold for Higher Salaries. CLEVELAND, Feb. 14.—Several members of the Cleveland base ball club have not yet signed contracts which were sent them by the manager some time ago to cover the coming season. The men, it is said, are holding off_in the hope of securing larger salaries. President Robinson says he will_issue an ultimatum in a day or two giving the tardy players a week In which to sign and if they do not do so within that time other men will be chosen and signed to fill their places. In case the latter course s pursued the good players will not be released, thus Ipreventing ‘them from ' playing with any other league club.

Ot Course It's a Bluff, LOUISVILLE, Feb. 14.—Billy Plimmer, the English featherweight who is playing an engagement in this city, has received a ¢hallenge from George Dixon's manager for a fight to a finish for $1,000 a side. Plimmer regards the challenge as a bluff, as he says Dixon is aware of his inability to accept the challenge, owing to his theatrical engage- ments being ahead for some time.

Now Funk'’s bill is as follows: Section 1. No person shall hunt with dog or gun_upon the cultivated or enclosed lands of another without first obtaining permission from tho owner, occupant or agent thereof. Sec. 2. Any person violating the provisions of this act shall be punished by a fine of not more than 810 oF tiprisonment in_the county Jail .not_more than thirly days for each and ory offense, but no prosecution shull bo com- nienced under this nct except upon informa- tlon of the owner, oceupant or ugent of such cultivated or enclosed lands. Senator Funk is a_great, big, handsome six-footer, and when he puts on ins hunting alothes and ties his dog to his lee with o rope and then has to roam around his native heath of Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Kossuth and Palo Alto counties, keeping on the higli- ways, casting wistful eyes av the duck ponds on one side and the green snipe fields on the other, the Capital sincerely hopes his con- science will kill him even if he doesn't have an accident with his gun. The more his proposition is examined the worse it gets. It is not aimed at the chicken trap, the rabbit fall, the quail snave, the country boy with a pot-hunting = instinct—but at the poor fellow who slaves in town eleven months outof the year, writing news- paper szuff till 5 o'clock in the morning and who would rather shoot his hundred dollar dog and throw his hammeriess gun in the river than shoot a quail or chicken on the ground or a duck on the water. Who has destroyed the game of Towa? The city chap who gots out for one week out of fifty-two, or the innocent farmer whose land is plas- tered with traps and whose income is in- creased every year by the game he sells to the freezer man? If “this bill is- for the protection of farmers alone 1t will accomplish its object,” but if it is intenaed in any way to protect the game preserves of lowa for logitimate sport it is a most lamentable failure. No sportsman ob- jects to the purpose of the bill, but the law as it stands today furnishes ample protec- tion, if it is enforced, against the hokos ana vandals; but is the man who lives in Towa, city or country, and who takes his only recreation in hen fields or along her streams, to be made o criminal when hQ_leaves his oftice for a few days to breathe the ozone of the country simply because either he or nis dog leaves the public highway! Are the woods and the flelds, the breath of June, the wealth of summer, thecarol of the lark, the splendors of autumn, all to be denied to him here in his own native siate simply because he loves the company of a good dog or, delights to hear the rustle of wings: and all this because some few boys or lll-mannered men abuse the privileges of common intercourse? Get at it in some other way, gentlemen, but don’t deny to the lovers of nature the beauties of fleld .und forest. Protect the game and protect the farmer, but don’t compel the city man to stand on some coun- try highway and, wouder why the infinite wisdom of u legislaturo should deny to him that sweet communion with nature's charms, the desire, for which came down to him from our forefathers who opened up this wilderness, and the love of which will live eternal in the humau’ breast. Every nd owner is a prince now. He can placard his own land or order 6ff intruders without notice. Why plaoei bianket mortgage upon all the flowers aud sunshine and wild game of fowa? ficiy And this reminds' us that Senator Funk comes from the lukeountry of northwestern Jowa—Okoboji and Spirit lakes—where they invite the rest of the stute to go during the summier njonths and spend their money, and yet this same country, and the people who live n it, break more state laws in one sea- son than' the city of Dubuque does in ono year. They seine insummer and spearin win- ter, They shoot young jack snipe on mud banks and murder the young teal and mallurds before they haye dropped their pin feathers, They coax bluck bass from their spawning beds and take the wall-eyed pike by car fonds when they court the rocky shores to deposit their eggs.” They mark the coveys of young chicikens and slaughter them in the grass—and after they have killed off every- thing n sight aud out of season they invite suckers from the interior to go up there and puy three prices for a whack at what is left.

ANY SHUT DOWN WILL BE FOR MONTHS Men Are Determined ‘and Prepared for a Long Struggle Against Any Attempt to Enforce n Reduction—Other Wage Troubles. CLEVELAND, Feb, 14.—A prominent coal operator of Massi'lon district spoaking of tho 12%-cent cut in miners wages today said there was very little lkelihood that the miners would accept the reductfon which was decided upon last week by the opera- tors. If the cut was not accepted the mines would be shut down next Saturday night, a lockout ensuing which would perhaps con- tinue for six months, “They are a set of determined men,” he sald, refering to the miners, “and they seem to be ready for a prolonged struggle. On tho other hand the operators cannot con- tinue to run the mines at a loss. They can better afford to suspend work for a long time than to give in.” About 4,000 men have been affected by the reduction, In the Upper River Reglon. MONONGAHELA, Feb. 14.—The miners of the upper river region held a well attended convention here today, nearly all the pits being represented. The work of organizera is apparent in the manifest unanimity of purpose among the miners of both the rail. road and river pits. All the signs indicate that the general strike, If ordered, will be the most effectually organized and stube bornly contested in the history of the valley. The convention today resolved to maintain the 214-cent rate for mining coal. Also to hold a series of mass meetings as soon as arrangements can be made to combine the men for a firm stand Falled to Ag . COLUMBUS, 0., Feb, 14.—The Hocking Valley operators and miners failed to reach an agreement today after the miners had congented to a reduction of 20 cents per ton on the price of mining. The polnts of difs ference were mainly between machine oper ators and miners. The miners are now freo to make any terms they can. THE INDIAN AS A FIGHTER. Born to Figh win “The Tndian is the most viclous fighter on earth,” sald Major Barbour, late press agent of the World's fair, but a former plainsman, to the Washington Post. “You read in the accounts of the South African war where a hundred or two Englishmen go out and whip 5,000 or 10,000 black men. There is no un- civilized people on earth, no race which is utterly ignorant of what we call the science of war, that can for a minute compare with the Indlans as warriors, No frontier general would think of leading his troops against a body of Indians where the odds were greatly against him. Why? Because the Indian is naturally a fighter and a marksman, and be- cause he has been quick to learn what the white armies have taught him in warfare. “Take that fight in which Sitting Bull was Killed. That was a skirmish, it's true, but it illustrates my point. There wero just six- teen men on cach side; the battle lasted not over five minutes, and eight were killed on cach side. Those Indian scouts rode stralght through tie camp of Sitting Bull, and en- gaged the old demon himself and fifteen of his picked warriors in a battle in which no man knew he had more than an even chance of surviving. “I've seen them. They love to fight. Their ambition is to win glory in flghting. Their traditions urge them on to fight. It's their only really aristocratic business. They are physically well qualified to fight; they. know how, and ‘you can bet they do fight when they get at it."” ANNI All Her Estate Bequeathed to Her Iusband, Robert Fulford, PHILADELPHIA The will of the late Annie Pixley Fulford, the actress, was probated here today.

To a niece in Canada is also left $6,000 and other relatives are willed proportionately. Considerable money is left for charitable institutions. An interesting feature in tho will is the following: “All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real and personal, or mixed whatsoever, and wheresoever, 1 give, devise and bequeath unto the trustees of the actors fund, to be used by them for the purpose of maintain. ing and establishing in the city of New York or its vicinity a home where the children of actors and actresses may be cared for and educated.” The will is dated June 17, 1890.
