probability have to be disposed of hefore the case of the employes can be taken wup. This will give the men and thelr attorneys a week in which to prepare for the hearing. From mow on the case will be watched with even more Interest in the rallroad world than ever before, for it marks an entirely new departure in settling diffi- culties of this character. CONSULTING THEIR ATTORNEYS The afternoon developed very little that was new, and nothing that was startling In the raliroad situation. The men put in the time quietly caucusing among themselves and In the evening held a joint m Ing 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 wero present at the conferonce. The situation was thoroughly gone over and the plans of the men when th ase 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 stated that he did not know when the c would be called up, but it was g understood that it would be next on the docket after the Denver & Oulf 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 amployes would be ealled up early In the week. The men will be represented by Judge Gantt and Qeorge L. Hodges, who ||v|\‘v- beel in the case from the start, and T, W. Harper of Terre Haute, Ind., who is th special counsel of the firemen. They are nos all on the ground and ar actively engaged with the men In preparing for the trial. WILL ABIDE BY COURT FINDING. In regard.to the strike story, Mr. Vroman sald that it was all pure frabrication, that nothing was kaid at the m oting concerning a strike or any language used that was in- tended to convey that idea or anything (,).“" could be distorted into that m aning. 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 failure of the conference to accomplish results could not be the cause 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 opinion 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 fn 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 the 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.

BETWL IT RESTS ON THE SANTA FE Responaibility for the Continned Demoraliza- tion of Ratee Finally Fixed. WHERE THE CHICAGO ROADS STA D NOW Westorn Ex- Assocsation One of the Members plains the Attitad Toward th in of the of Transmissour) Trouble dwall's Hands, CHICAGO, March 23.—(Special Telegram 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 toda At today's feeling that inasmuch as the company had reduced the rates from Chi- cago to Califoraia destinations, and from the Missouri river to California destinations, and vice versa, without conference with or consent of thelr competitors, but on account of some local dificulty with the Southern Pacific line, over which their competitors had not the slightest control, that it 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 Fo company. The representatives of the Santa Ke 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 Is perfectly consistont When rates are restored to normal figures the must be restored on a given dato from all parts of the country. You will readily ap- preclate the necessity of this. ‘ake for example the situation at Chicago. We cansy not maintain 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 Missou river. The transmissouri lines cannot possibly maintain a higher rate from Missouri river than rates of like class from points this side of the Missourt 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 rates. On the other hand the situation was left in a more unfavorable slate than ever for the contemplated advance. The Atchison was no: represented at the meeting, it having learned the Northwestern would not hold itsclf responsible for eastbound rates made in connection with the Union Pacific, although it assumed all responsibility for the westbound rates. The Atchlson refuses any advance uniil it learns just which lines are responsible for the maintenance of rates and secures definite agreement that the ad- vance rates will 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 defi- nite for an adjourned meeting to ke held tomorrow afterncon. was the general anta Fe meeting it wan Cheyenne Moves the Shops Again. CHEYENNE, Wyo.,, March 25.—Superin- tendent J. C. O'Hearn of the local Union Pacific shops 18 in Omaha conferring with the officials of the road fn regard to the proposed removal of the Omaha shops to this city. Tt Is claimed that the work can be doné here more cheaply. Nearly all the wood for cars is secured In Orcgon and Texas, and the haul to Cheyenne would be less than to Omama.

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 Lieutenant 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 15 also clothed in' queerly made garments, G 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 colicr 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 coat. 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 civil 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. Ono side of the brim is caught up to the crown by a rosette. The beard is long and heavy and the face wears an air of settled purpos>. There are several other portraits of the old commander in the work, and old soldiers 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.

Va., March 23.—The Radford murderer, Wash Adkins, the Cle- man murderer, John Grifith, and Dave Wells and John B. Gibson, two rioters held under charge of murder In the first degree for killing Adkins I the riot of February 28, were brought here by Deputy Sherlft Walker and four dep: med with Winchesters, They smuggled them through secretly in a Chesapeake & Ohlo 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 Fayetteville to break the jall, stopped at Fayette station to wait for reinforcements, all of which did not come. Sherift Walker, in endeavoring to get o 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 mpt actlon of Walker, who {s the only nty officer left (n 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 haye been oved. It is in an ugly mood, but the sherlff 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. West to Recom- ST MAY BE SETTLED, It is Now Thought that the Merritts Will Retain Control of the Mesaba Minos. 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 obligations of the Merritts to the Rockefeller people and thus redeem a majority of the stock in the Mesaba Consolidaied 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 escrow with friendly parties to secure the continuance of the Merritts in control. —— D DOG SCARE.

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 iven the opportunity. On this point the champion was rather satirical.
