THEY WERE NOT SURPRISED Labor Officials Who Foresaw that the Con- ference Would Prove Futile, TALK WITH CHIEFS SARGENT AND CLARK Hallway Emp Iting with Their Attorn dy for the Contest In Court This Week - Yes- terday Among the Men. In a recent interview with Grand Chief Sargent of the firemen’s brotherhood at his boms In Terre Haute, Ind., that gentleman | showed his thorough familiarity with |Ih~( | | course of events here. He and Grand Chiet Clark of the conductors were tliere fogether discussing the situation on the Union and | srthern Pacific roads.. Both of these gen- | tlemen stated that they had no doubt that | & settlement would be reached of the difi- | culties at Omaha. When asked concerning | the probabilities of a strike Mr. Sargent sald he disliked exce hear any talk of a time there | had been none of it with the | Unfon Pacific difficulty in daily expectation that the though there was no foundation for it | in fact. As an Instance of how little fou datlon for these stories there usually was he cited the report of the proposed strike which was sent out from Tac when in fact the negotiations for a settlement were nearing completion. Talk of strikes looked too much like thre he said, and if there was stigma they wanted to remove from organized labor more than another it was the impression that the purpose of these organizations is to intimidate railroad man- agers. The same t gram says that when Mr. Clark and Mr. Sargent left Terre Haute they expressed the opinion that no settle- ment would be arrived at in the then pend- ing conference with Mr. Clark, because both sides Jnew that Judge Caldwell’s court was to be the real and final place of settlement in addition to the development of here, I8 an official confirmation of position that has been outlined in The Bee ever since the conference opened. In addition to titis comes the crawfish of the focal sheet, which gave out the story of an fntended strike, which it announced was tertain to oceur in case Mr. Clark did not 1t once grant what the men asked. The aext day bronght a modification of the story. Vesterday brought a third chapter to the Sfect that it wasn't any of the members S the organizations interested in the pend- ing controversy that advocated a strike, but a man who belonged to some other or- zanization who had been invited in to a a meeting of the men Yesterday afternoon practi the preliminary work of preparing for the hearing of the case before Judges Caldwell and Sanhorn and the men are ready when- ever thelr turn comes in the course of busi- ness In (he court LITTLE DO in connection He some one would was start story Iy completed 2 YESTERDAY. There were few new lopments in the Unlon Pacific wage conference yesterday. At headquarters things were particularly quiet in contrast with the stir and anima- tion of the past week. President Clark was in his office familiar- izing himself with the testimony taken during the hearings and preparimg to pre- sent his findings to the circuit court when the wage question is taken up. The re- celver was averse to saying a word about the result of the meetings on th ground that he was the servant of the court and he thought it would be discourteous to the court to say anything in relation to the mat- ters in controversy until after he had re- ported the result of the confercnce to the bench. He stated, however, he was pleased that the conference was over hecause it had been very hard work and he doubted if he could have stood the strain another week. The testimony taken during the past ten days I8 very voluminous in character, whicl will have to be boiled down to present any- thing Iike a concise statement o the court. Should the court, however, desire to read all the testimony it will be forthcoming, but the impression seems to prevail that Judges Caldwell and Sanborn will rely upon Mr. Clark's statements and then proceed to in- quire from the men themselves as to the grounds of difference. THE COURT READY FOR BUSINESS. The vresence of Judge Samuel R. Caldwell In Omaha yesterday brought everybody face to face with the question, what was to be the outcome of the visit of the circuit court (o this clty to adjust wage matters on the Union Pacific. The presence of the senior circuit court judge brought realiza- tion to the men that their day in court was approaching and they could not help but show their anxioty. Throughout the morning the attorneys for the different trades were laboring on their arguments to be made and going over the | rate to the Missourl. avidence brought out at the conference. It was In fact a busy morniny for everybody, and Easter Sunday will hardly show a letup in the work of formulating lines of attack and defense when the wage battle begins next week before the cireuit court of the United States. FEELING AMON Tt was the quiet that follows the storm that was ohservable among the railrond men_yesterday. The strain under which all have been laboring for the past week has been relaxed, and all took a long breath and settled down to enjoy a brief spell of rest before the real struggle commences be- fore the court next week. — This is what the men have all along considered the mainstay in their case, and they are not going to loave anything undone which will dd to thelr chances of success. The heads of the varfous organizations were in consultation yesterday with their attorneys, and from this on untl the case is called In court they will be at work preparing for what promises to be a historic tandmark in the judicial and labor world. Heretofore hoth employes and employers have simply invoked force when differences arose among them, and it was simply the survival of the fitfest in a physical sense. With this case dawns a new era and law will sit enthroned where the deposed mon- arch of force once reigned supreme. The vich and the powerful have heretofore been the only ones to invoke the aid of the law and the more sensible ones among the la- borers now see the mistakes they have made in the past and propose to profit Thereby. Said one of the representatives of the men, “If there is equity in the law for the railroad companies there must be som in it justice for the men whom the companies employ. The men huve, some of them, too long looked upon the law as only an instrument of oppression in the hands of the rich and powerful, but the men on the Unlon Paciflo at least' have discovered that its powers can be just as effectively invokad in thelr behalf as they have hitherto been used to oppress them. Justice, it is true, sometimes miscarries, but this is the ex- ception and not the rule." MPLOYES ARE CONFII " One of the men stated yesterday they had every confidence that when hearing in court was completed It would result ‘in an adjustment in which not only the men but the company would acquiesce without a murmur. Neither side would probably get all it contended for, but Judges Caldwell and Sanford vame Into the case without any prejudice or blas born of tnterest, and baving shown a disposition to ba_eminegtly fair there was no reason to 160k for anything but an absolutely equitable ttlement of the dificulty. They have the fuawledge, ot the law to settlo the watter 8 far as the legal points were concerned, and @ reputation for justice and falrness that gave the men confidence. They un- doubtedly appreciate the fact that the eyes of practically. the whole world are turned upon them and watching the outcome of this new departure in the judicial proceed- fngs of this country. That they will allow it to fail throug. any ill-advised or unjust action 18 too improbable to be presumed or given credence. THE ME that the Irllnl\nu \ullll rn'\ln'lhl‘.

WESTERN RATE Union Pacific Allege Unwilling to Restore Harmony. CHICAGO, March 24.—(Speclal Telegram to The Bee)-—Absolutely no progreoss was made today in untangling the chaotic condi tion of western passenger rates. The pres ent contention I8 solely between the Atchi- son and the Union Pacific, the Northwestern being interested as the Chicago end of the cago-Union Pacific and rthwestern route. It is doubtful it there can be any ad vance in rates, at least between Chicago and the Missourl, until the controversy is settled The original fight between the Atchison and Southern Pacific has been lost to sight As far as thesc two companies are con- cerned thera s perfect willingness to ad- vance rates between the Missouri and ali fornia points, The objection to an advance comes from the Unfon Pacifie, which natur- ally is fighting the battle for the North- western In its desire for an advance in the Like all raflroad con- the one between tho Unfon Pacific provides line shall. dictate th rthwestern control and the Union Pacific ind business, The an protect its acts of Northwe the Kkind, tern and that the origination rates. This gives the of westhound busin a like control over easthe Atchison does not believe it interest unless it _competes with each line in its territory. This clash is the cause of present impossibility of making any ad vances in rates, Thanked the Conductor. The life of a railroad man is not always a happy one. The majority of travelers wh see the conductor pass through the train think he has nothing to do but to take up the tickets and punch little holes in them, and foundly Imagines that he has a snap that does not fall to the lot of ordinary als. To those who knew them best, , this is not the case, Throughout the railroad service, no mater what happens the railroad man is at the service of th: public, and no matter at the cost of how much personal discomfort he must care for those who have been placed in his care When these services are shown to be appre clated no one relishes b .ter than the rail road man the comn tion of well done. During the late snow blockades the fassen- gers on the blockaded trains wers unavoid- ably compelled to submit to many dis- comforts, but the following resolutions show that they appreciate the efforts of the train men to make them as light as possible General Passenger Agent Lomax received the followlng from Hillsdale yesterday: Allow us, passengers on the westbound fiyer, detained here by the blizzard for over thirty hours, to express our appreciation of the services' of J. G. Anderson, conductor, and the other trainmen and servants in pro- viding for our rellef and comfort. We be- lieve they have done all they could for us and we desire to commend them accordingly 8. .

This was signed by a number of other passengers on the train. ———— EDISON’S LATEST. A Marvelous Photographic Machine Suc- cessfully Tested. The strongest man on earth, fo quote the play-bills, and the greatest inventor of the age met yesterday at Menlo Park, N. J., says the New York Herald. The meeting was an interesting one, and the giant of brain and the glant of muscle found much to admire in eack' other. Sandow mar- veled at Edison’s inyentions, and the wizard guzed longingly and enviously at the prodigious muscles of the strong man. The latest development of Edison’s genius in the line of photography, on which he hus been working for the past five years, the kinetoscope, was practically completed a few days ago, and in casting about for a unique subject for the frst photograph by the new process Hdison chose Sandow as the most fitting and striking character. Accompanied by John Koster of Koster & Blal's, Manager C. B. Cline and R. T. Haines of the Northwestern Telephone com- pany, Sandow took the Delaware & Lacka- wanna train at 11 o'clock yesterday morning for Menlo Park. Edison’ met the quartet at_the depot. The main principle of the Kinetoscope, as is already known, consists in the taking of a great number of impressions by a camera in a limited space of time, thus ob- taining a continuous photograph of the en- tire motion of the object or person. The photographs follow each other in such rapid succession that no lapse of time can be de- tected between the impressions recorded, and the series of pictures becomes in effect but one pictire Then proceeding to the studio, Edison and Sandow walked arm in arm. The studio is a building apart from the factory. It Is 80 constructed as to move with the sun, so that the luminary which shines through an aperture about twenty feet in width will always shine directly on the object or person being photographed, the object being to get a perfect focus. The building, as it turns, rolls like a ship, being erected on a sort of pivot, The walls. floor and celling of the studio are black. The machine for taking picture: consists of a lirge, square box, about 4x3 feet. The, slide, however, is different from the ordinary, as it is revolving. Back of the spring Is a_ sensitive gelatine plate in the form of a.band that runs on two rollers. The rollers are revolved rapidly by elec- tricity Forty-six pletures are taken in one second and the exposure lasts twenty seconds the length of the time required to unroll the nd. The eamera is kept behind a curtain In complete darkness and when the person fs ready to be photograpbed the curtain is drawn aside, the camera pushed forward on rollers and (he exposure takes place. The opening in the camera is but three inches in width and the pictures are an inch square, though the inventor says he will be able to take pictures of larger size 001, Sandow showed his e'ght well known move- ments for the distension of the muscles Those had to be done within twenty seconds, the time of the exposure, so It necessitated practice beforehand. The plates secured were declared perfect “Let's get our pictures taken together,” sald Edison “I should consider It an honor privilege,” replled Sandow, and in moments the ploture was taken. e The * tore Locked for Twenty-Five “One of the curiosities to be found In southern Ohio, not far from Chillicothe, fs a country store,” satd R. C. Wortham to the Globe-Democrat. A country store is not usually an object of special interest, but this one has remained as it now Is for over thirty years without the change of a single article.” When the war broke out the man who owned the store had a son. The father was intensely loyal, and persuaded the son (o enlist, promising the son that if he should enlist the store and its contents should be his when he returned. Another call for troops came, and the old man locked up the store and shouldered & musket. He romained in the army until peace was de clared and then returned to his home. His wifo had died in the meantime, and no ti- dings had ever been received from the son. The father worked a small farm that he owned, but never entgred the store, saying that it should be there as it was when the son came home to claim it A quarter of a century has gone, but no word yet from the missing son, and the store stands lockad just as it was over thirty years ago, the old man, now In his dotage, refusing to allow any one to enter it."

Hon. Abe Hewitt's after-dinner reflections on southern statesmanship caused Private John Allen of Mississippi to emit a few re- marks on banquet speeches in general, as follows: But I do not think any man ought to be held down to a very.rigid account for an after-dinner speech at a banquet. Why, sir, 1 recollect not long ago I went to a banquet in Baltimore, where everything was so good, where I was surrounded by so many big, rich men that by the time my turn came to speak I felt so well that I addressed them as “fellow-capitalists.” (Laughter) Belng aware of the influences surrounding a banquet, it I did not know of the abstemlous habits of my friend from Tennessee I would have thought, on reading this speech, that he had gotten somewhat under the Influences that affected another' Tennesseean that a traveling man told me about meeting once in Tennessee. This traveling man was sit- ting on a counter talking to a merchant about selling him some goods; he and the merchant got into a general conversation, and among other things he said to the merchant, I used to sell goods in Kaufman county, Texas.” At this a seedy, ragged, hard-looking fel- low who was sitfing on the counter said, my friend, did you ay you had lived ir Kaufman county, Texas?’ ‘“Yes, sir.’ “Did you ever know a man out there by the name of John F. Willlams?" *Oh, yes, I used to sell John goods. “Well, sir, he | “Ah! I am glad to meet you.' John Williams s my brother. How was John when you saw him?" “Oh, John was doing very.well, he had a good farm with plenty of stock on 1t, he was out of debt and he was doing well” “Well, it you should be back in Kauf- man county at any time, and see anything of John, I wish you would tell him that [ am mighty hard up, {hat my farm is mort- gaged, and I do not helteve L am ever going to be able to raise and educate my children. Times are mighty hard- with me, and I do not see any chance Wl get out of debt, and if he fs ever going téshelp me, now I the time. e After awhile this traveling man felt like taking a drink, anj he invited John's brother out to Iukn-.n. drink with him. When the drink begin, to have its effect, the man sald, “s0 ypi know my brother John out in Tex “Yes. “Well, when you go out there, say.l am getting along tolerably well, that .k ain’t making any great money, but thal,I am doing pretty well." They sauntered around awhile, and the traveling man axlkas his acquaintance to take another drink. Phen the follow began to warm up. He saM), “so you know my brother John out dp Keufiwan county Texas? “Yes.” “Wel! it you are going out there at any time, Jug tell him that I am making a good living and am getting along first rate. Late In the evening my friend met the fellow again: He had meanwhile had two or three more drinks and was pretty mellow, so he sald, ‘‘you are the gentleman (hat knowed my brother John out In Kaufman county?' 'Yes ‘Well, it you should go back to Kaufman and see anything of John, tell him If he needs any- thing, just (o draw on me' (Loud laugh- ter). e The Correct Shoe, Any kind of a shoe you like is patent leather, was a good for last season, but on your life don't follow it from this day forth.

ALL MEMBERS NOT WHOLLY SATISFIED ifieation o8 Ro- Even Those Who Voted for the Mo Mensure In Many In gard It as a Tempo- rary Rollef. DES MOINES, March 24.—(Special to The Bee.)—~The members of both houses breathe a sigh of reliet over the end of the struggle to modify the prohibitory law. The mulct bill ran the gauntlet in the lower house in a most remarkable manner, and narrowly escaped defeat frequently, points being scored in some cases by only a single vote. Senator Ellls of Clinton, who has led the fight for local option, says the bill s full of imperfections, but is an entering wedge in the right direction. Senator Upton of Howard thinks that the bill will do for a makeshift until the next legislature has an opportunity to enact a more reasonable law on the subject Senator Brower, whose heart was set on the Gatch-Brower bill, was the last of the local optionists to capitulate, and he did it only at the urgent personal request of Chair- man Blythe of the state committee, and filed the following explanation of his vote “Mr. President—This bill does not meet with my«full accord. It has provisions that are distastef: to convictions of that which fs best, but to which I yield in the face of the great need that is everywhere manifest of better regulation and control of the llquor trafiic than now exists, and which the supporters of this bill belleve will re- sult 1f it becomes a It i better than an unfulfilled pledge to the people.” Senator Cheshire of Polk, after quoting the resolution of the late city convention, urging the members of the legislature to support any sure that would actively carry out the pledges of the party, said ding republicans in var s sections of the county, outside of the city of Des Molnes, who have for years been recognized leaders of the prohibition element of the party, havé appealed to me to disregard the republican county platform, in view of the declarations in the state platform, and the agreement to pass a resolution for re- submission, Believing that the thirteenth plank of the republican state platform should be carried out In good faith, and that I am now released from further withholding my vote from a measure with that purpose in_view, I vote vea." Senator Conaway of Mahaska, who lives in a prohibition town and was expected to hold out to the my President—In explaining my vote T desire to say that I am a prohibitionist from principle. It is repulsive to me to be com- pelled to vote for this bill with the provision permitting the drug stores to continue to deluge tho communities with whisky free of charge, while other saloonkeepers are com- pelled to pay a license for doing the same thing. But my constituents have demanded, by petitions to me, personally, that I ren- der to them a_duty which they have a right to demand of me. I therefore yield to their behests, and with them shall rost the re- sponsibility. T vote yea.” Of the eight republicans who joined the democrats in opposition to this measure, only two explained their votes, Senator Chantry of Mills sald: “Mr. President—I am constralned to vote against this measure from a sense of fidelity to what I know to be the prevailing senti- ment of my district; also believing any law which levies a tax and is not of uniform operation throughout the state Is of doubtful constitutionality; and viewing the matter from the standpoint of the thirteenh plank of the last republican platform, I am unable to believe that this measure is of a character that will 5o control and regulate the liquor traflc as will best serve the cause of tem- perance and morality.” Senator Finn of Taylor, who has made a factious opposition from the very beginning of the session to any form of modification, filed the following protest: “The bill, in my Jjudgment, is in violation of the promise made in the platform of my party, which was that the present law should be maintained in certain localities named, and other mothods of controlling the liquor trafic in the Interest of temperance and morality be given to other parts of the state only. The bill undertakes to change the law generally throughout the entire common- wealth and to all localities alike, and such a law will not ‘best serve the cause of temper- ance and morality’ anywhere. I belleve in- ebriety to be a disease of the most pitlable and unfortunate character—ono that the state should be protected against as much as smallpox or any deadly contagion. The tendency of the saloon is to spread, and every concession made to the saloon Keeper 1s in its furtherance. To grant him license number of his victims. The characjer of this bill stands to the democratic bill (against which I voted) as varioloid does to smallpox; the only differ- ence belng as to viruleney of form. I believe the state should be quarantined as far as possible against every such allment. The tendency of the bill is to recognize the legal existence of the saloon, in direct opposition to the established and declared_doctrine of the party to which I belong for the last twelve years. In my Jjudgment, drunkenness, gambling and pros- titution are evils alike to be deplored, and the proposition to establish or license places for the furtherance or carrying on of either Is unworthy a patriotic citizenship. The proposal to make the public share the pro- ceeds of such evils by a tax or license fee exacted ‘only makes tho thought more ob- jectlonable and ubhorrent. If they exist it should not be by sanction gf law, and all three should be outlaws alike. The filing of these protests closed one of the most memorable and dramatic scenes ever witnedsed in the legislative halls of lowa. The scnate passed the following bills Jamison, taxing costs in bastardy cases the. defendant as in criminal actions; by Harper, requiring manufac hotels or bufldings used for the assembling of persons of three dr more stories in height to provide safe rope fire escapes. House bill, by Blanchard, authorizing cities of second class and having not less than 5,000 inhabitants to levy a special fund was passed. The bill recommended by the State Miners as- soclation for regulation of mines was dis- cussed at length, but no action taken. The senate special committee appointed to draft -a prohibitory amendment to sub- mit to the people has declined to accept the Cornwall self-enforcing amendment passed by the house and will favor the submission - of the single manufacturing clause, but the house will likely refuse to agree to this change. The house passed a Dbill prohibiting coloring of Imitation butter and cheese to resemble the genuine product; also @ bill llmiting the compensation of sheriffs and their deputies. The salaries fixed affect countles only of mot less than 3,000, where the amount is limited to $2,300, and over 45,000 to $3,000, The de- puties get $1,000 e ‘ases. Atlantic Hank Offies rrested.

A short, compactly built man, with a heavy blond mustache took a toboggan slid down Lookout mountain the other afternoon. He went via the incline, and made the trlp from Point hotel to the engine house a distance of 4,500 feet, in three and one- half minutes, which is just one-third the time that It takes a car to descend. re- marks the Chattanooga Times, Fully 100 people saw him make the lightning like cent, and all were greatly excited. The nervy coaster, however, was as cool as the proverblal cucumber, and, upon reaching the foot of the mountain, walked away as coolly as though it had taken him an hour to de- scend. About 4 o'clock the coaster appeared at the Point hotel with what appeared to bo a block of wood about eight Inches square under his arm. On one side of the block was a steel horeshoe, In the curve of which was a small flanged wheel. The other side of the block was slightly concave. The block vas put on the outside rail of the incline, the wheel fitting close, and the horus of the horseshos were on either side, Then t man put a heavy glove on his right hand, and sitting down on the block started down the mountain without more ado, He held his feet cra stralght before him, and rested them on the iron rall. For a few feet the little one-wheel car moved slowly, and then the speed increased until it and its human freight were going down the mountaln at a rate that made the spectators hold thelr breath. When a curve was reached the coaster slowed up slightly by pressing his heels against the rail and steadied himself by touching the cable with his gloved hand. Finally, when he reached the very heavy grade just above the house, he took off all the brakes and came down like a shot out of a gun. Arriving at the bottom, he put on the ‘‘heel” brakes and gently came to a stop just in the depot Coolly rising from his queer vehlcle placed it under his arm and walked qul away before any of the astonished tors had any ehance to recover their b or ask apy questions il arad an Slides Dow; ath BOYD'S § @ PN AP #ARCH 30 AND 31, Matinee Saturday The Necromantigus Comedian, HERRMANN THE GEEAT IN HIS MARYELOUS ~ ENTERTAINMENT INCLUDING ESCAPE FROM SING SING HE MYSTERIOUS SWING AFTER THIS BALL, THE NEW SPIRIT 81 Alded In Her iyt MME.
