MAKE THREATS Oharge Packers with Violating Agree. ment and May Remew the Strike, CHICAGO, June 12.—The stock yards teamsters again are making threats. They charge that the packérs have not lived up to the terms of the compromise which closed fhe big strike and a call will be is- sued for a general meeting of the union wext Sunday to consider. the situation. The men say that the conditions at the yards are worse than before the strike of two weeks age was valled. They say their Positions are in danger; that many of the men have been unable to get work, aud that the barn superintendents who were dis- charged because they refused to take out the strikers’ wagons have ot been rein. atated ‘Roused by the complaints of the men the officers of the union started an investiga~ tion. They declare three barn superintend- ents who refused to do the packers’ bid- ding during the strike were told they would not be taken back. A committee of teamsters visited the su- perintendents of the firms who have thus far refused to recognice the union and say they receiyed ne satisfaction. An indignstion meeting of the leaders was burriedly called and strike talk again be- ¢ame prevalent. The men fear the packers are ready to begin transporting their goods for ‘local compumption by the various rajl- rosds and are smxious (o force an issue be- fore the system is adopted permanently, * The teamsters are insisiing for the reéin- statement of the.men, for the discharge of nonunien mep, to gle all members of the dining room ahead of the king, who had Mrs. Choate on his arm. Previous to the begipning of aimmer ppecial _servants of their majestie with medals, had arrived at Mr. Choate's residence and taken up their places behind the chairs at which the king and the qdeen were to sit. American Roses in Evidence. ‘The table was elaborately decorated with American Beauty roses. Mr. Choate and his wife sat opposite gach other at the cen- ter of the table, at which forty covers had been lald. Queen Alexandra, who was dressed becomingly in evening gown of white and black and wore a dlamond tlara, sat at Mr. Choate's right band. On his left sat Princess Victoria, while next to the princess sat Lord Lansdowne. On the op- posite side of the tauble sat Mrs. Cheate, with King Edward on ber right and the duke of Norfolk on her left. In the beginning the international ban- quet proceeded somewhat formally, but th vivacious bumor of the king and queen soon put the guests at their ease. Through- out the dinner music was rendered by an excellent band. Finally Queen ‘Alexandra gave the sign and the ladies rose retired to the drawing room. Mr. Choate then walked around the table and topk the vacant seat next to his majesty and the king of Great Britain and the American ambassador entered into a confidential conversation. Before the con- versation had gotten well going Mr. Choate went over to J. Pierpont Morgan, sr., and brought him up to King Edward and for pearly the next half hour the American millionaire and the king talked earnestly together. Lord Lansdowpe, Mr. Choate, Lord Rose- bery and others equally kmown to fame respectfully sat aloof While the master of empires and master of millions thrashed out their respective ideas. To use the words of one of the guests who sat Dear them: “Mr. Morgan and the king seemed equally at home and we wondered ‘wh we were going to get a chance to Jeln the women in the drawing room.” At length King Edward finished talki snd the men went upstairs. On their. arrival in the drawing room Queen Alexandra led the way t> the music room. In the meantime Commander Rich- ardson Clover and Mrs. Clover, Major B. Cassatt, Mr. and Mre. Willlam C. Eustls, J. Plerpont Morgan, jr, Mr. and Mrs. Ed- mund Lincolp Bayliss, Willlam Wetmore and Douglass Robinson had come in. In an interval between the music the king asked especlally for Mrs. Douglass Rob- insoh and Mrs. W, Sheffield Cowles and to these two sisters of President Roosevelt his majesty conveyed his special gratifica- ton at his ability to be present st the evening's entertainment. Their majesties also chatted espeeially with Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reld, while the latter's charm- ing daughter, who was too young when she last visited England to be presented at court, was cordially received by both King Edward and the queen. The affair is characterized by foreign dfplomats as the greatest triumph ever won for American prestige in E: DEATH RECOR w. w;u-'-.'fe Yier. SCHUYLER, Neb., June 12.—(Speclal.)— Mrs. T. W.

NORGAN TALKS THREE HOURS Defends Nicaragua Oanal Bill and Assails Raport of Panama Company. FAIRBANKS WANTS TO BUILD WITH BONDS Proposes to Distribute Cost of C. struction Over Number of Years, but Alabama Se! Issue with Pl tor Takes WASHINGTON, June 12.—After consid- ering the London dock charges bill for an hour and a balf today, without completing it, the senate resumed consideration of the isthmian canal question Mr, Morgan of Alabama occupied the fleor for three hours and a half, discussing par- ticuarly the diplomatic phases of the quese- tion. From this point he was diverted by an amendment Introduced by Mr. Falrbanks of Indiana providing for the issue of bonds for the construction of the canal. Mr. Mor- gan vigorously attacked the amendment, maintaining the expense of the capal's tax- ation should be pald out of the treasury current receipts. Incidentally Mr. Mor- gan agaln opposed the Panama route and assalled the report of the new Panama company to dispose of the concessions held from the 0ld company. A resolution introduced by Mr. Ca mack of Tennessee, directing the commit- tee on civil service and retrenchment to investigate the discharge from the War d partment of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in that department, was called up. On motion of Mr. Platt of Connecticut the resolution was referred to the committee on civil service Data Being Complled. The resolution introduced yesterday by Mr. Culberson of Texas, directing the sec- Tetary of war to send to the senate an itemized statement of the expenditures made from the Cuban funds from the time of the American occupation to May 1 of this year, was taken up. Mr. Platt of Connecticut explained that the information was being compiled in the War department and the resolution was sent to the calendar. Consideration then was resumed of the London dock charges bill. Mr. Platt of Connecticut remarked that it was difficult to ascertain what was sought by the bill. Mr. Nelson of Minnesota explained the pro- visions of the bill to which Mr. Platt called attention. Mr. Platt further held that the question presented was not a subject of national legislation. The bill went over. Consideration of the Isthmian canal project then was resumed and Mr. Hoar formally offered his amendment, of which he gave notice some time 8go, in the form of a-substitute. The amendment provides that it shall be the duty of the president to cause an isthmian camal to be bullt by such route as he may select; that he shall obtain all advice necessary, and that $10,000,000 be eppropriated to begin the work. Morgan Riles Fairbanks. Mr. Morgan Immediately oriticlsed Mr. Fairbanks’ propesition, declaring that it was simply another feature of the methods being employed to delay the canal con- struction. ‘With some heat Mr. Fairbanks insisted that his amendment was perfectly reason- able and proper. He believed it to be in accord with the wisest statesmanship to distribute the cost of the canal over a period of years instead of putting the bur- den of the entire cost on the people of the present time. He sald fhat if the bill pro- viding for a canal by the Nicaragua route were erected he would offer the same amendment to that. Ome of his prineipal objections to the Nicaragua canal bill was that it proposed to pay the expenses of construction from the current receipts of the government. Later Mr. Morgan suggested that he was holding the chairmanehip of the oceanic canal commission as a placebo thrown to the democrats, but Mr. Hoar assured him that he did not hold the position as a placebo, but because the republican side had regarded him as “one of the groatest llving senators, as one of the greatest of living authorities, one of the greatest per- sons.” “1 shall soon be one of the greatest dead ones,” suggested Mr. Morgan, facetiously, “unless the republican side shall take up the question in the view of Willlam Mc- Kinley, who was more responsible for it than I am, or in that of General Grant, who was more responsible still.” After " Mr. Morgan had proceeded until 3:80, refusing curtly to yleld the floor for any other business, Mr. Hanna gave no- tice that he was obliged to leave the city this week to be absent until next Wednes- day morning. He would address the sen- Ate on the bill that day at 2 o'clock. IRRIGATION BILL IN HOUSE re Comes Up for Closing Debate, WASHINGTON, June 12.—The house to- day adopted a special rule for the consid- eration of the irrigation bill which passed the senate some time ago, and devoted the day to general debate of the measure. : Tomerrow the bill will be read for amendment under the five-minute rule. Messrs. Mondell of Wyoming, Tongue of Oregon, Tirrell of Massachusetts and Shal- lonberger of Nebraska spoke today In favor of the bill.

The house resolved into a committee of the whole, Mr. Tawney of Minnesota in the nd entered upon the consideration ifrigation bill. It was arranged that Mr. Mondell of Wybming should control the time for the measure and Mr. Ray of New York against it Mr. Mondell submitted an extended argu- ment in favor of the bill. The amount of land which might ultimately be reclaimed by Irrigation was estimated, he sald, be- tween 35,000,000 and 75,000,000 acres. He discussed fully the reasons why the states ocould not undertake the work. The wisdom of national ald fn the reclamation of the arid lands of the west, he declared, had been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the people and of both political parties in national conventions assembled. It was estimated, he sald, that the pend- ing bill would produce & fund from the sale of public lands of between $2,000,000 $2,500,000, which would graduslly increase. It also was estimated that the cost of bringing the water to the settler would be about $10 an acre; that at the present rate the bill would dring 260,000 acres under irrigation annually. Mr. Ray of New York opened in opposi- tion to the bill. He declared that the triends of the measure had sought to cre- ate the impression that the irrigation of the lands in the west was a continuation of the free home policy. The scheme, he aid, would benefit certain states, but at the expemse of others. The public lands, he contended, belonged to the people of all the states. This bill proposed to take the proceeds of thelr to develop one sec- tion of the country. Mr. Shallenberger of Nebraska concluded the debate for the day with a twenty-min- ute speech in support of the bill. He sald be preferred to see the mopey spent in the west for the development of our coun- try than in the subjugation of peoples beyond the seas. General debate was declared closed.

Rivalry with General Putnam Over a Young English Girl, Margaret Moncrieffe was barely 15, but shrewd beyond her years and extremely handeome, says a writer in Lippincott's. lll had remained in New York when, with rest of the English army, her father, Colo Moncriefte, had gone to Staten Island, where he was In command of a regiment. A letter from Colonel Moncrieffe, which was dated from his quarters on Staten Island, stated that the colonel's mother- less danughter was in New York alone and unprotected, and begged Mr. Putnam would afford her protection. General Putnam was & bluff, unconventional Connecticut farme with 4 warm heart and unsuspicious mind. To him such an appeal on the part of a father seemed most natural, and he im- medlately ordered his alde-de-camp, Colo- nel Aaron Burr, to call on Miss Moncriefte and lnvite her in his name to share their quarters, adding that Mrs. Put; and his daughters would weicome her as one of the family. The beautitul young Bnglish girl thus strangely introduced into the household came a favorite with them all. The gemeral wes captivated and Major Burr fell despe: ately in love with her. But in spite of his infatuation, or possibly in consequence of it, Burr kept a watchful eye on the winning creature, particularly ss be saw that the general was completely off his gudrd. Margaret threw herself heart and soul pursuits of the housshold. She took lessons In splnning and weaving from the country maidens, but when left to her own devices charmed her hosts with the faellity with which she sketched lttle water colors that she freely bestowed on aayome who admired them. ‘The general often made her his companion his daily rounds, heedless of Major Burr's jealous glances, for Putosm de- lighted 1 her iptelligent interest, never heoding her searching inquiries and = preme would have beed his astonishment to learn that she was better informed than himself as to the strength of the defemses, the quality, equipment of the troops, nor could he have belleved his eyes bhad he caught sight of Margaret's notébook, which was filled with the valuable Information, which she comtrived to send dally to her assoctates.

NOTED AS AN EXPERT WITH THE MACHINE Man One of the Directors of Cele. brated Banking House Special Partner in New York Bank, De and NEW YORK, June 12-—A dJispatch from Paris to the Herald says that Baron George von Bleichroder, whose death in Prussia from an automobiling accident has just been announced, was one of the best known men in Paris, well as Berlin. Two brothers, Barons Hane and James von Bleichroder, have been in Paris for some time. Baron Hans recelved a dispatch at noon, informing him that his brother had met with an automoblle accident. A second dispatch was addressed to Baroa James, the third and youngest brother, requesting him to come at once, as the condition, of Baron George was hopeless. A third dis- patch summoned all the members of the family. The two brothers who were in Paris took the first traln for Cologne. Baron George was about 40 vears old, of bandsome appearance and very popular with his many acquaintances. The news of his death produced a profound 'mpre slon among his numerous friends In Paris. The name of Baron von Bleichroder is one of the earliest in connectlon with the Automobile Club de France. He was al- ‘Wways known ae a very careful chauffeur and it 1s thought his automobile must have slipped on a muddy road. Neo Detalls of Accident, Detalls of the accident are lacking, how- ever. It is known that the baron took a train in Paris on Tuesday afternoon to go to Leichsenich, near Liblar, about twenty kilometers from Cologne, for the purpose of inspecting his horses. Subsequently he telegraphed to one of bis employes to send an automobile to meet him at Duren, as this would save him the trouble of going all the way to Cologne and he would be able to arrive earlier at Leichsenich. He bad the Intention of returning the same evening. Puris, however, was always a great at- traction for the baron. Last winter he purchased a pretty Iittle hotel at No. 9 Rue Newton. He was often seen at Monte Carlo and about two years ago won 500,000 francs. He wms present at the prinmcipal race meetings &t Long Champs and Auteull previous to his departure, The baron wae one of the directors of the celebrated banking house bearing his name and was the second son of the banker who rendered great assistance to Prince Bie- marck in founding the German empire. Interests in New York. Baron George von Bleichroder was a #pecial partmer {n the banking and brok- erage firm of Ladenburg, Thalman & Co. of New York. No information was received by the firm touching upon his death. Five years ago the baron made two visits to New York to become acquainted with the Jocal end of the business. Since that time he has not been here. . His racing stable, near Cologne, 1s known s the Roemerbof etud. ‘‘Fred” Foster, who once owned Dr. Rice, was his trainer and “Bddie” Ross i the rider. All his stable hands were Americans. He was known as the Rosebery of the German turf and eariy this year he discharged svery German who bad anything to do with his racing stable, from trainer to stable boys, and replaced them all with Ameri- cans, among whom are several colored men. He told his turf acqualntances he was convinced that Americans knew how to get the best out of racing horses and that he intended to employ no other na- tionality in his stable. A few days ago, however, he announced his intention of retiring from the turf. CREDIT MEN NAME OFFICERS Elect Willlam Burge: Nebraska, One of New Board of Directors.
