The company, which up to this time had been on the defense, assumed the aggressive and issued an order Saturday, June 21, discharging a total of 525 men from its shops in Omaha, Cheyenne and Armstrong. Another. télling blow was then dealt by the Unlon Pacific when during the present week it promulgated another order letting out 600 more men at Cheyenne and olosing the shops. Stil] another effective stroke came Friday when the company practically depleted its Omaha shops by discharging 137 machinists and helpers. 'In all there have been about 1,100 men sum- marily discharged by the company within about a week. This, in brief, is the his- tory and progress of the trouble. e Violation of Afreement. One month ago the committee from the machinists called on the Ualon Pacific offi- clals and presented grievances. At that time a 20 per cent Increase in wages was asked, twice as much as was asked in the conference yesterday. After some delib- eration the machinists agreed to com- promise and an agreement was drawn up and signed by representatives of both side The machinists hold that the official bave violated the provisions of this agree- ment and upon this basis new trouble w precipitated. Asked what bearing the have upon {he ramainger workmen at the shops, 4 Union Petific offi’ elal sald: ““None whatever so far We are con- cerned.

So far as the trainmen are concerned they are getting good money and for that matter the machinists and boller makers were paid as high as any In the country and higher than most.” It earned Saturday at noon that the Union Pacific had just bought elghty new engines, the first of which are to be recelved and put into service the latter part of July. The ofcials claim they will then have a surplus .of engines. Vice President Webater of djstrict lodge No, 11 sall late yesterday: ““We go into this strike reluctantly and after having exhausted every effort at ef- tecting peaceful terms, but we go into it confident that we are right and determined and hopeful of winning.

ROOSEVELT SUGGESTS PLAN Asks Attorney General Whether or Not Coal Combine is a Trust. NEW YORK, June 27.—A Washington dis- pateh to the World says that President Roosevelt. has requested Attorney General Knox to submit an opinion as to whether the combination controlling the anthracite coal output constitutes a trust within the meaning of fhe Sherman anti-trust act and the deciélon of the Unifed States -uprcm- court therecn.

AGUINALDO'S LOOTING CAMPAIGN Admiral Says He Ha fie Went No Money When WASHINGTON, June 28.—The third day's testimony given by Admiral Dewey before the senate committee on the Philippines began with a reference to the statement made by the admiral at the first day's proceeding concerning the proffer made by the Spanish governor general to surrender to him. Senator Carmack called attention to the fact that the press reports made it ap- pear that he had sald that during the next twenty-four hours after the destruction of the Spanish fleet on May 1 there had been several proffers of surrender on the part of the governor.” The admiral replied that Le had sald that between May 1 and August 13 the governor general had sent word to him more than once that he would be pleased to surrender to the navy. The first proffer, he sald, was made in May through the English consul and sub- sequent 'proffers were made through the Belglan consul. At the time, the admiral admitted, Aguinaldo had begun operations around Manila and was working toward the elty. Taking up the thread of the invehtigation where it was dropped yesterday Senator Carmack asked the witness if all . the trou- ble in the Philippines had been due to Aguinaldo. “I won't say that’ the ad- miral replied, “but,” he continued, “I will repeat that if we had had 5,000 troops at Manila on May 1 the city could have been taken possession of and we would have had, at least for the time, no trouble with the natives. They were our friends then.” Making Too Much of Aguinaldo. In reply to other questions put by Senator Carmack, concerning Aguinaldo, the ad- miral sald: “I think you are making too much of Aguinaldo. He was a mere figure- head and was surrounded by stronger men tkan himself. Mabini was one of these and General Luna, whom he had killed, was another.” Replying to another question the admiral sald It was the general report throughout the east that in 1807 Aguinaldo had be- trayed his people to the Spaniards for money. Nor did he remember that this report had been denled by American oficers in the Philippines. Among other officers quoted In this connection was General Greene and the admiral ealled attention to the fact that General Greene had not given his authority. “If,"” he sald, Agoneillo told him, I don’t think the authority was good." “Why do you say that Aguinaldo took the llon's share of the property gathered by the insurgents?" ‘‘Because he was living at Malolos like a prince. He had nothing when he landed In Manila and could have procured the means for this ostentation in no other way. He began immediately after arrival to take every dollar In sight. It may be ungrateful in me to state the facts, but it is true that he sent cattle to me—herds of them—for the ships. Stock were taken from the Philip- pine people.” “‘Was any statement made of this elrcum- stance at the time?" “No; that is war, as you know." Philippine Army Only a Mob. Continuing his reply to this question, the admiral sald the Philipine army wae then only a mob and without organization and had ‘to. be fed atd dlothed.. He did as many have done—he made the country sup- port him.” “Did you regard that proceeding as pil- lame and loot?" “Well, we didn’t do that way. For in- stance, I took all the coal in aight, but I paid for it.” Senator Patterson—Do you refer to Agul- naldo taking property for the support of the army as loot and pillage?” Admiral Dewey—That s one part of it. Senator Chrmack—You didn't object at that time? Admiral Dewey—No, but he soon got be- yond me. A number of questions were asked In re- gard to statements made by Generals Greene, Bell and others, but the witness asked to be excused from criticising offi- cers of the army and the chalr (Senator Beveridge) d that he was not required to answer any questions, the replies to which would involve such criticism. There- upon the admiral sald he was “very glad" |and Senator Carmack said he knew of no, ruch rule, but he supposed he would have to submit. The admiral added that mo opinions by others would change his own opinions of Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo Forced Upon Dewey. Senator Carmack—Then is it a fact that you took a man to Manila to be a leader of the native people who had but recently be- trayed those people for a bribe? Admiral Dewey—I think that would have made no difference; the country was under A relgn of terror. “Then you wanted a man who could or- ganize tle natives? 3 “No, 1 didn't want anyone. Aguinaldo and his people were forced upon me by Con- sul Pratt and others. “Did the consul and otbers h: power to force these people upon you? “Yes, by constant pressure. I didn't want the Filipino refugees because I didn't be- lleve that s half dogen of them would do any good in view of the report that thou- sands would rise up in insurrection upon our, arrival at Manila. I thought they would play a very small part.” ““Then you placed the country at the mercy of & map wha would plunder and rob, notwithstandipg you- had no need of his services 3 Declines to Answer. This question the admiral declined to an- swer and Senator Patterson took the wit- ness, asking it Aguinaldo had ever talked of selllng out to t Americans. admiral replied in the negative and Mr. Patterson then asked if the Philippine leader had ever asked him for money. The reply that Aguinaldo had asked him to exchange gold for Mexi- can dollars. “I was pretty sure as to where he had gotten the dollars, as he hadn't brought them with him," said the admiral, “and I thought that the fact that he wanted gold was pretty good indication that he was etting ready to leave. ‘That was what m me think that the man was feathering his own nest, but It was only a susplcion. Here the admiral agalh referred to Ag- uinaldo’s style at Malolas and Senater Pai terson asked if that style had mot served the purpose of Inspiring the admiration of his followers and holding the allegiance. To this inquiry the witness replied that the style was “‘probably more inspiring to them than to these from whom the prop- erty had been taken.” “Do you think that is proper testimony?* ked Mr. Patterson and Chairman Bever- idge interfered with a strong protest to innuendos against Admiral Dewey. He con- sidered the question as discourteous. Mr. Patterson, however, disclaimed any intention to be otherwise than respectful and he continued his questions. + “Do you kmow,”" he asked, “‘whether any Aguinaldo has a dollar toda: 1 don’t knew," was the reply. bava't been In the Philippines for years; how should 1 know." “Do you know from your experience that there was never a day while he was in arms that he could not have made him- self rich at the expense of the American governmont if he had given up? The withess hesitated, and sald he could bt anewer the question. He then was told by the chair that he nedd not 4o so. “You' do know,” Mr. Patterson went on, “there were several who got good fat offices ™" The reply was in the negative. Tho witness aleo sald he knew nothing of the paymeént of money to the Cuban General Gomez, and he added the suggestion to Senator Patterson that he should not put such questions to him. Asks About Amderhon. Senator Patterson also asked a number of questions concerning Admiral Dewey's assertion with General Anderson, after hid arrival and his visit to Aguinaldo in com- pany with the general. He sald he had suggested to Gemeral Anderson onm the oc- nllon of that visit that he need not wear uniform of put on his sword, but that hl- blouse would be sufficient, and that the suggestion had been adopted. = Referring to a report of that Interview made by General Anderson and to coples of letters written by the genmeral, in which Agul- naldo was assured of a desire for amicable relations, Admiral Dewey sald that he aid not remember that any such urance had been given. Speaking of General An- derson’'s letters to. the Filipino chieftain the witness said: ‘'When I heard that he was writing let- ters to Agulnaldo I advised him agalnst doing so0.” He added, that he was not conversant with all of General Anderson’s Acts before the arrival of General Merritt, as the general had gone his own way, while he (Dewey) had gone his. He also said Gen- eral Anderson had offended Aguinsldo on the occaslon of their visit by his ques- tion. When Senator Patterson pressed other questions calling for reference to state- ments made by army officets and othes the admiral declined to answer, saying am here to testify to what I know and I will give all the information I can in that way but I am. not responeible for what others say. I don't like your questions and I don't think I ought to be required to reply to them." The chair assured the witness that he need not answer them. The admiral sald, however, in reply to furthér pressing, that his views did not coincide with those ex- pressed by General Anderson in a magazine article. “They do not.coincide,”” he sald, differed very much from the beginnii Beveridge and Dietrich Inguire. Senators Beveridge and Dletrich then asked a few questions: The former re- minded the admiral of a visit that he (Sen- ator Bevevridge) had paid the admiral on the flagship Olympia when she lay in the harbor at Manila and asked him it he r- emembered a conversation that had oe- curred between them, when, while they were looking out from the deck, the ad- miral had sald, referring to the success of the American arms, that “he ocould not help thinking ‘that it was all due to a higher power than our: “l 4o, respondéd the Admiral. “T re- member that I sald that and it s my opin- fon now." Senator Beverl extracts from the report of the first Philippine commission, of which Admiral Dewey was & memmber, in which the ement was made that the Filipinos were incapable of standing alon and that If the. American support wi withdrawn they would lapse inte anarchy, and asked him f that had been his opin- lon. - He replied in the affirmative, adding that e still enterfainmed that' view.' Senator Carmack: ‘‘Was that always your opinion? Admiral Dewey: “Yes. True, I madea comparison once with the Cul saying the Filipinos were more-capable of self- government than the Cubans: I think that neither the Fillpinos nor the Cubans are capable of self-government.’ Senator Dietrich’s questions were in- tended to show the state of Admiral Dew- ey's mind concerning the Filipinos at the time of the engagement with the Spanish squadron. He asked the admiral if it wi not true that if he had recognized the Fil- ipinos allies, trusted them as such and considered them capable of taking charge of Manila, would have accepted the profter for the purrender of Manila before the arrival of the American troops? “Yes,” replied the witnees, “that is true, and it is a good idea. I had not thought of it, and I am glad you suggested it. It makes my testimony stronger. It ie true, and the fact that I did no taccept the sur- render and put them in charge shows that 1 did not trust them. ‘It never entered my head to do that." With this ‘Admiral Dewey was discharged as a witness and he expressed himself as much gratified to secure bis releass.’ RUN ON A BUFFALG BANK Directors Say it is Solvent and Re- quire Depositors to Give Thirty Days’ Notice, “ three BUFFALO, N.

GOES TO CALENDAR WITHOUT ACTION Deboe o Blackburn Engage of Kentucky Politios Killing of Governor Goebel is Brought Up. WASHINGTON, June 28.—A lively debate was precipitated in the senate today over A resolution of Mr. Morgan of Alabama, au- thorizing the committee om interoceanic chnals to investigate the status of Ameri- can stockholders of the Panama canal com- pADy with a view of protecting them in the Frénch courts. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin, Mr. Hanna of Ohio, and Mitchell of Oregon, antagonized the resolution, maintaining that it was a matter with which the United States had nothing to do. Mr. Morgan warmly advo- cated the proposition but it finally went to the caléndar without action. Mr. Deboe and Mr. Blackburn of Ken- tueky, engaged in an interesting but good natured discussion of Kentucky politics in the course of which the former alleged that the reason why Governor Taylor did not return to Kentucky and stand trial as &n accessory to the murder of Governor Goebel was that the courts were corrupt and that the $100,000 reward offered for apprehension of the murderer of Goebel had been used to corrupt the courts and bribe witnesses. This Mr. Blackburn em- pathically denled and declared he was so thoroughly convincéd that he would be willing.to submit the case to any judge and Jury in the union. Rathbone Asks Inven ‘When the senate convened a partial con- ference report on the general deficlency appropriation bill was agfeed to and Messrs. Hale, Allison and Teller appointed conferees. Bills were passed as follows: Authoriz- ing the Duluth, Plerre & Black Hills. Rail- road company tc construct a bridge across the Missouri river at Plerre, 8. D.; to pro- vide souvenir medals for the benefit of the ‘Washington Monument assoclation of Alex- andria, Va. Mr. Teller of Colorado presented a pe- tition from Estes G. Rathbone praying for & full investigation into his performance of duties as éirector of posts of Cuba dur- ing the occupation of Cuba. He maintained in his petition that ho was unjustly tried and unfalrly convicted, and that he is en- titled to a full, fait and impartial investi- gation by congrees. Mr. Teller said the petition was upusual and the conditions were unusual, and at his request the petition was read in full The petitioner asked that full justice be done to the end that aspersions upon his ¢haracter might be eliminated. Mr. Teller sald the petitioner was not now in jeopardy, but would have been had not & general amnesty been granted by the Cuban government. He stood before the world as a convicted criminal. The case Was unique, but it was one which might arise any time in the Philippines. It ed to him that the question demanded investigation by the senate. While he did not pass on the gullt or innocence of the petitioner, he belleved there was a fair presumption of his innocence. The petition was referred to the com- mittee on relations with Cuba. A resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan “providing for an investigation by the committee on interoceanic canals to ascertain whether any claims exist In favor of citizens of the United States against the new or the old Pananid Catlal company, and authorizing the committee to rtain whethér unlawful or corrupt efforts have been made to obtain any part of the sum that may be applied to the purchasé of the property of the new Panama Canal com- pany, or to Costa Rica or Nicaragua, by the United States was taken up. After Mr. Morgan had explained the reso- lution Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin vigorously opposed its adoption, declaring it was with- out precedent, entirely mischievous and ob- structive of the action of congress. The United Sfates was in no positicn, he thought, to act as agent for bondholders and shareholders of the Panama Canal company. ‘Those people would have to look ‘to the 1 for their rights. It was not of the United States to con- stitute itself a guardian of the French court and of the people who had claims against the Pan: Canal company. . Morgan interrupted Mr. Spooner to say that he wanted to know whether the lobby that had been hanging about Wash- ington was to receive any part of the 340, 000,000. He sald bribes were pald to men who conducted great negotiations. Mr. Mitchell of Oregon sald he could not support the Morgan resolution because it ‘would tend to delay work on the canal. Mr. Haona, in opposing the resolution, resented the Insinuation that a lobby wi here. He challenged Mr. Morgan to pro- @uce proof of such a charge. Mr. Hanna #ald Mr, Morgan had tried to throw a cloud upon the Panama company's title and was endeavoring to lay upon it calumny and charges of corruption. There was no truth in the insinuations. Mr. Morgan said he had made fo refle: tion on congress, but insisted that there Was & lobby for Panama. The Morgan Panama resolution went to the calendar without action. It will take a vote of the senate to get it up. On Kaw Indian Matter, * Consideration thén was begun of a bill to ratify an agreement submitted by the Kansas or Kaw Indi of Oklahoma. The bill was passed. A resolution was offered by Mr. Money and d. to, directing the .secretary of to the copl of all orders issued by the governor general of Cuba from the date of the beginning of the administration up to May 20, 1902. A bill was passed to authorize the & retary of war to issue certificates in lleu of lost or destroyed discharges from the army. A resolution, offered recently by Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, Instructing the com- mittee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico to lnvestigate during the recess the con- ditlon of things in Hawall and the ad- ministration of affairs there, with a thority to visit the islands, was adopted. Mr. Deboe of Kentucky then dellvered & speech on his amendment to the resolu- tion for the election of senators by the people, providing that the qualifications of citizens entitled to vote for United States senators and representatives shall be uni- form in all the states, and that congre shall bave power to provide for the regis- tration of voters, the conduct of elections and the certifying of the result. Mr. Deboe dwelt particularly upon what he termed the injustice of the operation of the Goebel election law in Kentucky, which law he scathingly denounced. Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky replied to Mr. Deboe's speech, making something Ilike & categorical reply to points made by Mr. Déboe. Goebel Matter Cal Mr. Blackburn urged that If what Mr. Deboe had sald was true, he wi sur- prised that he did not advise Governor Taylor, who, he asserted, had become a fugitive in Indiana from indictment for belng an accessory before the fact to \ da Up. the murder of Governor Goebel, to Kentucky and stand trial. At the comclusion of Mr. remarks Mr. Hale announced it was now evident that an agreement on the naval and ten deficlency appropriation bills could #ot be reached for several hours at least He thought it uhnecessary for thie senate to remain longer in session today. H desired that when an adjournment was taken this evening it be to meet at 11 o'clock on Monday. He believed that a final adjournment of congress might be reached Monday afternoon or early on Tuesday. The senate then agreed to meet at o'clock on Monday. In answer to Mr. Blackburn's inquiry as to why Governor Taylor did not re- turn to Kentucky and stand trial, if the atements of Mr. Deboe were accurate, the latter sald that Governor Taylor would return if it were not for the no- toriously corrupt methods of the courts. Mr. Deboe charged that the $100,000 re. ward referred to by the Kentucky legis. lature for the apprehension of Goebel's to, return Blackburn's 1 murderers had been used to corrupt the courts. Mr. Blackburn declared that he was so well satisfied of the gullt of Taylor that he would be willing to submit the case to a judge and jury in any state of the union. The senate then, at 5:06 p. m., went into executive sef and afterward, a few JOY IN LONDOY NOW ((‘nmlnuzd from First Pnge) Kllchencr lhe stand pl'nprlflors hl\l' to rely on the king's first public reappearance, whioh is likely to be a drive through the streets to the national thanksgiving serv- lce. That, however, must be some time hence, as a man in his sixty-first year, in spite of his wonderfully quick. recovery trom the immediate results of the opera- tion, will probably have to submit to & rather lengthy convalescence. What at first sight was one of the most pathetic features of the postponement of the coronation, among all the serious finan- clal embarrassment on every hand, was tho utter demoralization of the street “‘fakirs,” who had been counting for months past on a rich harvest. Features of the Strand, Fleet street and the hotel entrances today were street urchins, mostly of tender years, apparently weeplng over trays of cheap medals, pins and other out-of-date and in- appropriate souvenirs. Thelr general wail- ing pleas were always addressed to the well dressed pedestrian: “Only a penny, stuck wif me medals,” “Please buy some- thing.”” These appeals —frequently suc- ceeded. A noticeable fact, however, was that these “tears” and “grief’" among the sharp streets Arabs only seem to have developed today. The symptoms spread rapldly. Among scores of clever little plaglarists in other walks of ‘life the same keen disap- pointment was visible. American Womén Disappointed. Had the coronation occurred Amerlcan women would have constituted one of the most brilliant features. The duchess of Marlborough had a new coronet, even more magnificent than the big pearl-tipped tiara she has hitherto worn at court. Her un- worn acquisition rivalled that of the duch- ess of Portland, In which the great Port- land diamond itself, worth £12,000, has been reset. Mrs. Arthur Paget, who would have had a seat In the king's box at Westminster Abbey, would have worn a costly emerald and dlamond tlara, collar, pendant and brooghes formerly belonging to her mother, Mrs. Paran ‘Stevens. Mrs. Paget's dress was embroidered with dlamonds and pearl: Lady Abinger, who was a -Miss Magruder, daughtér of the late Commodore Magruder, U. 8. N.; and widow of the third Baron Abinger, had her peeress robes embroidered with gold, and, besides her diamond coro- net, would have worn a four-row pearl necklace, clasped-with & huge sapphire and surrounded with dlamonds, once the prop- erty of Marie Antoinette. Lady Stratford, tormerly Mrs. Samuel Colgate of New York, would certainly have made a sensation as she had a very high dlamond tiara and instead of a necklace would have had rubies and pearls, draped like an alguillette, on her left shoulder. Lady Defforin, formerly Miss Florence Davis of New York, intended to wear all the heirlooms of the Dufferin family, which she recently fnherited. Lady Grey Egerton, who was Miss Mae Cuyler, daughter of the late Major J. Wayns Cuyler, U: 8. A., was golng to dre embroidered with gold lilles, with a dia- mond tiara, & diamond and pearl collar and two néckiaces, one of rubles and dfamonds and one all dfamonds. Lady Deerhurst, step-daughter of Charles Bonynge of San Francisco, was fo wear beautiful black pearls, a diamond neckla and a dfamond tlara. Depew Doubts the Bulletins. NEW YORK, June 28:—The London cor- respondent of the Herald cables that Sena- tor Depew, who has followed the history ot King Bdward's case very carefully, does not entertain the most optimistic view of the cutcome. “It you will noti¢ce the bulletins that have been Issued,” sald the s¢pator, “you will see that they have all been worded with the utmost care. To anyone reading between the lines it is apparent those in charge of the case are not at all sangulne to the king’s recovery. This convinces me that the royal patient's condition is far more serious than people in general ap- preciate.” James R. Keene would express no opinion on the chences of the king's recovery. “Whatever the result may be,” he said, “it will not affect values in America. If the king should dle, his son, the prince of ‘would be procviaimed king within The government would go usual.” Celebration Held at .
