and will in all_ probabllity have to be disposed of before the case of the employes can be taken up. This will give the men and their attorneys a week in which to prepare for the hearing. From mow on the case will be watched with even more Interest in the raflroad world than ever before, for it marks an entirely new departure In settling difi- culties of this character. CONSULTING THEIR ATTORNEYS The afternoon developed very little that was new, and nothing that was startling in the rallroad situation. The men put in the time quietly caucusing among themselves and in the evening held a joint meeting of all the representatives at the hall in the Patterson block. George L. Hodges of Den- ver, one of the attorneys for the men, ar- rived in the afternoon, and he and Judge Gantt were present at the conference. The situation was thoroughly gone over and the plans of the men when the case is called in court will be fully matured and they will be ready for the fray. In conversation with Judge Gantt last evening that gentleman Btated that he did not know when the case would be called up, but It was generally understood that it would be next on the docket after the Denver & Gulf case. Mr. Gantt stated that he understood that case was not likely to occupy more than one day in the hearing, and in this event the case of the employes would be called up early In the week. The men will be represented by Judge Gantt and George L. Hodges, who have been in the case from the start, and T. \W. Harper of Terre Haute, Ind., who is the special counsel of the firemen. They are now all on the ground and are actively engaged with the men in preparing for the trial WILL ABIDE BY COURT'S FINDING In regard to the strike story, Mr. Vroman said that it was all pure frabrication, that nothing was aid at the meeting concerning a strike or any language used that was in- tended to ey that idea or anything that could be distorted into that meaning. The men themselves had taken the case into the courts. They were not forced there, but went there for redress from choice, and they had no reason as yet, at least, to regret that cholce. The failire of the conference to accomplish results could not be the eause of avy disappointment from the men, s that result had been a foregone conclusion from the stand Mr. Clark had taken in re- gard to the limitations placed upon the scope of the conference. If anything was needed to confirm this opinfon of the men it was not lacking in the position the officers of the road took at the very first session of the hearing in sticking to the terms of the Dundy order almost absolutely. The hearing had been commenced after Mr. Clark sent the men his letter at the outset for the sole reason that the court had ordered them to come before Mr. Clark for that purpose, and having placed their cause in the hands of the court they did not wish to put them- selves in the attitude of disobeying its man- dates at the very outset. They had invoked the law and by the law they would stand or fall. They had every confidence that Judges Caldwell and Sampson would treat the case fairly and do justice to all parties concerned.

CHICAGO, March 23.—(Special Tele to The Bee)—Western lines have all taken sides with the Atchison or the Northwestern in the controversy over rates, An official of one of them gave the following statement of the case today: “At today's meeting it was teeling Inasmuch as the Santa Fe company had reduced the rates from Chi- cago to Califorala destinations, and from the Missouri river to California destinations, and vice versa, without conference with or consent of their competitors, but on account of some local difficulty with the Southern Pacific line, over whieh their competitors had not the slightest control, that it was only proper for the Santa Fe company, now that we were adviged that they had settled these difficulties amicably, to state on what date they would be willing to put back the rates to the figures from which they had reduced them, and with this in view a reso- lution asking the Santa Fe to do this was put through and the chairman called upon the Santa Fe company. The representatives of the Santa Fe company, in view of the telegram received from Mr. Lomax, declined to further discuss or consider the California rate situation. LOMAX POSITION LOGICAL. ““The position taken by Mr. Lomax and the position taken by the Western Passenger assoclation s perfectly consistont. When rates are restored to normal figures they must be restored on a given date from all parts of the country. You will readily ap- preclate the necessity of this. Take for example the situation at Chicago. We cany not malintain the normal rate of $72.50 on April 1, April 5 or April 10 if the rate from Fort Wayne through Chicago is $37.50. This 1s not even good nonsense. It Is contrary to the interstate commerce law, to general usage, and it would facilitate a large sized scalp on the Chicago market. The same con- ditions apply to the Missouri river. The transmissouri lines cannot possibly maintain a higher rate from Missouri river than rates of like class from points this side of the Missouri river and applied through the Mis- souri river gateways.” LEFT WITH THE CHAIRMAN. Today's meeting of western lines accom- plished absolutely nothing toward an increase in passenger raies. On the other hand tl situation was left in a more unfavorable state than ever for the contemplated advance. The Atchison was no: represented at the meeting, it having learned the Northwestern would not hold itself responsible for eastbound rates made fn connection with the Union Pacific, although it assumed all responsibility for the westbound rates, The Atchison refuses any advance until it learns just which lines are responsible for the maintenance of rates and secures definite agreement that the ad- vance rates wiil not be manipulated. The whole matter was put in the hands of Chairman Caldwell, who will confer with the Atchison and try (o propose something defl- nite for an adjourned meeting to he held tomorrow afternoon. the general Cheyenne Moves the Shops Agnin. CHEYENNE, Wyo., March Superin- tendent J. C. O'Hearn of the local Union Pacific shops is in Omaha conferring with the officials of the road fn reaard to the proposed removal of the Omaha shops to this city. Tt is claimed that the work can be done here more cheaply. Nearly all the wood for cars s secured in Oregon and Texas, and the haul to Cheyenne would be less than to Omama. If the change is made, 500 more men will be' employed at once In the shops here. el 1 i SOME PORTRAITS OF GRANT. Interesting Detalis About Illustratlons in the “Century War Book.” Especially Interesting among the illustra- tions of the “‘Century-War Book' are those which deal with the uniforms and faces of famous old regular army people. Those who recall the well known painting by Emmanuel Leutze, which pictures a scene in the Mexican war, of which General—then Lieutenant—U. S. Grant was the hero, will be somewhat disappointed at a reproduction of a’photograph’ of that time. It shows Licutenant Grant in the ill-fitting and ab- surdly boylsh appearing clothes peculiar to the old_service. The beardless young officer stands with one arm thrown over the neck of a diminu- tive horse. ~ Alongside stands General Alex- ander Hays, also a Mexican warrior, holding another horse by the bridle. His more manly figure 1s also clothed in queerly made garments, Lieutenant Grant wears one of the old- style Sanford & Merton overhanging flat cloth caps with a limp leather visor. A thick wisp of hair falls untidily over the right ear. A broad white starched collar droops over a high stock of patent leather. A singlo row of brass eagle buttons runs from neck to walst of a tight-chested, bell- skirted frock cont. A broad light stripe runs down the side of the trousers leg. A small likeness copled from one worn by Mrs. Grant on a wristlet is also given in the same work. The'original was made shortly before Grant's resignation from the army prior to the clvil war, and represents him as a smooth but stern-faced young captain. A third portrait of General Grant is from a photograph taken in 1861. Grant was then a brigadier, and bad begun to be talked about. He sits with both hands clasping his sword, which rests across his lap. = On his head is one of the large, ungainly, soft slouch hats then fashionable in army circles. One side of the brim is caught up to the crown by @ rosette. The beard is long and heavy and the face wears an air of settled purposs, There are several other portraits of the old commander in the work, and old soldlers who served under him express unbounded satisfaction in studying these vivid glimpses of their dead leader. The pictures are ab- solutely faithful to the originals, as is the case with all work bearing the Century im- print. The now popular edition of “The Century War Book,” In which the above-mentioned plotures aro presented among 900 others equally as interesting alike to veterans and readers of history, Is now being issued by The Bee in twenty parts, one part to be dis- tributed each week. The work is a re- vislon of the great original edition which has become the standard authority upon matters pertainiug to the war of the rebellion, For this popular distribution The Bee an- ticipates an unparalleled reception. The preliminary enthusiasm already awakened by the announcement is remarkable. Authori- ties upon book distribution prediet a circu- lation numbering millions, and one which will rosult in placing this book upon the shelves of every library within reach of this opportunity. Four coupons and ten cents in coin will buy each part at The Bee office. ks DEADWOOD IS DIGGING 0OUT, Three Tralns Reach the Black Hills Me- tropolia After Much Tribulation.

Va, March 23 Radford murderer, Wash Adkins, the man murderer, John Griith, and Dave Wells and John B. Gibson, two rioters held under charge of murder In the first degree for killing Adkins tn the riot of February 28, were brought here today by Deputy heriff Walker and four deputies, all armed with Winchesters, They smuggled them through secretly in a Chesapeake & Ohio baggage car and lodged them in jail. This move was to keep the miners from liberat- ing them. Last night a mob of twenty armed men, going to ayetteville to break the fall, stopped at Fayette station to wait for ‘reinforcements, all of which did not come. Sherift Walker, in endeavoring to get to the jail to protect it from the mob, was held up at the muzzles of twenty Winchesters for two hours at Fayette station, but finally, his identity not being known and reinforcements not arriving, he was turned loose. The mob dispersed with the understanding that another attempt would be made today. This was frustrated by the prompt actlon of Walker, who is the only county officer Teft in the neighborhood and says they could have accomplished their pur- pose last night it they had kept on. The mob does not know the men have been moved. It is in an ugly mood, but the sherift fears no _trouble. PITTSBURG, March 23.—President John McBride of the United Mine Workers of America has issued a circular calling for the fifth annual convention of the organiza- tion to be held at Columbus, commencing April 10. It will be the most important convention yet held, for at the convention a national strike will be considered. This means the total suspension of mining work throughout the United States. If adopted, the greatest strike in the history of the mines of America will be inaugurated. There are in America fully 500,000 miners who are at- tached to the United Mine Workers assocla- tion.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 23.—A special to the Journal from Duluth says that the fact that the injunction suit of the Merritts against the American Steel Barge company was not heard in New York. yesterday, neither of the parties appearing, is explained here by the assertion that negotiations are In progress for a seitlement of the difficulty, The latest deal involves the formation of a syndicate which is to satisfy the oblgations of the Merritts to the Rockefeller people and thus redeem a majority of the stock in the Mesaba Consolidr..>d mines, now held by Rockefeller as collateral. - In order to do this, however, the stock turned over by Charles W. Wetmore to the barge company, which the Merritts claim he held in trust only, must be returned to them. The syndi- ca‘e which is to redeem the Merritts stock and again give them control of the Mesaba property is to take a long time mortgage as security, consolidated stock being placed In cscrow with friendly parties to secure the continuance of the Merritts in control.

When his train arrived from Pittsburg the depot was thronged with a vociferous crowd of admirers, Corbett was questioned regarding Bob Fitzsimmons' anx lety to meet him, “Gentleman Jim" siders the lanky pugllist is working a clear case of bluff, but will accommodate him if it {s shown he means business. Corbett is certain that his fight with Peter Jackson cannot occur in June, as he would require three months for training after a suitable purse had been offered and contracts signed. Storles have been cir- culated that Corbett will evade Jackson if miven the opportunity. On this point the champion was rather satirical.
