from the officials of the road in their con- ferenge last week and that there is still considerable dissatisfaction among them To & reporter for “he Bee a car bullder, & member of the committee which met with the afficials during five days of last week, Bad this to say: “We are entirely eatisfied and there is mo llkelthood of our striking. We have dothing to strike for and our Interests are Jot so closely allled to those of the boller- makers or machinists as to make it neces- sary for us to co-operate with them. We effected a very satisfactory agreement with the officials of the Unlon Pacific and left Mr. McKeen's office, where the conferences were held, absolutely satisfied. We were acoorded the utmost courtesy and consid- eration by Mr. McKeen, superintendent of motive power, with whom most of our deal- ings were had. Before we left his office each member of our committee assured him personally that we were delighted with his treatment of us and well pleased with the witimatum of the company which he repre- sented.” Unanimous Strike Sentiment. Both the machinists and boilermakers held meetings yesterday. Nothing was given out after the meetings except that the strike sentiment was unanimous and the men were determined to enter the fight to win, President James O'Connell, the machin- 1sts’ (nternational leader, is expected in Omaha next week, unless the strike is set- tled before that time. An official of the Union Pacific Sunday mald that he did not look for the shopmen 3n the emaller places over the system to Join the strikers. He conceded that all Would go out from the three largest shops on the line, Omaha, Cheyenne and Arm- strong, bul that owlng to the 'nature of their surroundings the men in the smaller places would remain at work. “You see,” he sald, “these men in the #maller places, most of them, have their own homes and they know that it they quit work they are out for good in that town and would have to go somewhere else in order to get employment. They are not likely to sacrifice their property in any such way. Furthermore, they are get- 1ing good wages and have no occasion to strike. For that matter, as I have said before, all our men are the best paid of any In the country and there is really no dause for their striking.” Necessary Work Goes Gn. The officials asserted that the company bas enough men in every shop on its sys- tem at present to carry on all necessary work except in the Omaha shop. He also stated that engine failurcs have not been seriously Increased by t'ae idleness of the botlermakers and machnists thus far and that tralns are runniag on schedule time Bnd no trouble whacever is yet had with trafiic. The company is making no plans yet, byt simply awaiting developments to see what number of their employes go out. The officlals emphatically deny the report that they have taken steps to engage men from Chicago or other places to fill the places of strikers. What action will be taken they decline to say. The strike benefits of the machinists be- tome effective this morning. The boller- tmakers have been receiving benefits for a week. RECORD MADE BY CONGRESS (Continued from First Page.) important financial measure which has been brought before congress. After con- siderable public * discussion and several conferences by members of the house, it has gone over for consideration next De- cemnber. Another financial measure, known as the JHIN bill, providing for the coinage of subsidiary sliver and for the retirement Of the present standard silver dollar, has Dassed the house but has not been acted upen in the senate. Other Netable M Among the other important measures general legislation which have not been been enumerated are as follows: To pre vent the sale of firearms, oplum and in *axicating liquors to the natives of cer ain of the Pacific islands; to promoty e efficiency of the revenue cutter serw «ce, and to provide for the retirement o #ts officers; to refund the duties pald in Porto Rico on articlas imported from the United States during the military occupa- tlon; appropriating $200,000 for tne relies 9i the volcano sufferers at Martinique; au {horizing the erection of Y.

Appropriations Rum High The amougt of approprigtions for the sessions will run unusually high, owing in part to the amount required to bulld the sthmian can When Mr. Cannon submitted a general estimate of appropriations a few weeks ago he made the total up to that time $691,445,000. Since then the canal bill has Ppassed, carrylng a present appropriation of $40,000,000 for the franchise and enough more for the rights of Colombia and for h(llnhu the work to carey the total up . The entire cost of the un- Mll.l is approximately $184,000,000. Mr. Cannon's estimate also amitted con- tragts for future expenditure included In the omnibug public bulldivg, the omnibus claims and various other bills. aggregating a large amount. This will carry the total for the session, figuring in these future amounts, almost, if not quite, up to the bilHen-doliar mark. Import of Naval B ; The sppropriation bills have contained little legislation, being chiefly confined to the regular needs of the various branches ©of the goverpment. - The naval bill, providing for the addi- tlon of two armored crulsers, two battle ships and two guaboats to the navy and _Rrovislon is atill in controversy as to whether one of each class of these ships shall be bullt in govergment yards.

GETTING EVEN WITH SAINTS | Omaha Wins lonond @Game of the Beries by All Around Good Work, MISSOURIANS NOT ALLOWED TO SCORE In the Meantime Omaha by Hard Hit- ting Acewm Six Ru Al but One of Which Are Earned. ST. JOSEPH, June 29.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Owen was in excellent form to- day and certainly contributed more than bis part in keeping the Saints from p ing a single man across the home plate. While the home team was able to hit him five times, they were scattered and counted for nothing. Some of the fans were so enthusiastic over the work of the Omaha pitcher that they claimed to have never before seen such phenomenal pitch- ing on the home grounds. In the ninth in- ning, with two men on bases and no outs, the Saints could get no further than third. The next three men went out in one, two, three order. Owen during the game struck out three men, gave two bases on balls and hit one. Gonding out of four times at bat Bot three singles. Owen out of four times at bat got two singles. Genlns did the same. Stone landed two two-baggers In the same number of times at the stick. The flelding of the visitors was excellent.

NOT TEACHERS ENOUGH TO GO AROUND Superintendent Fowler Says the Sup- ply of Those Competent to Te is Far Beneath the Re- quirements. (From a Staff Correspondent ) LINCOLN, June 29.—(Special.)—Instead of counting them one by one as they are fled the clerks in the auditor's office now measure the fast accumulating wolf bounty clatms by the box and number them only by machinery. One clerk has been kept busy for three months listing the vouchers, but he is unable to hold his own againat the steady stream that keeps pouring into the office. “Wolf bounty claims? Yes, we have them here for all amounts,” remarked a clerk in the office the other day. ‘“Some people seem to do nothlng elsé than kill wolves. We've got them here from §1 up and of all ages. Here are sixty-elght boxes full of wolf bounty claims and there are enough more in the office to fill at least fifty boxes. There are about sixty claims in a box and each claim avera, $8. So it is reasonable to suppose that the claims now in the office amount to about $20,000. And more claims are coming in every day. There doesn’t seem to be any end to the wolves. If there are clalms here amount- ing to $20,000, which is a reasonable esti- mate, that means that unléss there has been fraud one wolf has been killed for each dollar claimed.” The last legislature appropriated $18,000 for wolf bounty, but the appropriation was vetoed by Governor Dfetrich because no provision had been made for the payment of old claims. Bo the next legislature will have four years' accumulation of claims to take care of. Short on School Teachers. Paradoxical as it may seem, there are not enough school teachers in Nebraska to supply the demand. By the term “‘teachers’ {s meant persons who are com- petent to instruct. The number of appli- cations may exceed the demand, but the fact remains that there are not emough teachers to go around. “I have been over a large portion of the state withia the last few weeks amd have found only one county where there are enough teachers to supply all the schools,” sald State Superintendent Fowler. n some places the supply falls far short. I know of one county in the western part of the state where eighty teachers were needed, but only scventy-five applied. Where a condition like this prevails (he authorities find it necessary to employ all who apply, without regard to their qualification, and undoubtedly many aré taken who are really ‘ncompetent. If 100 teachers apply where only eighty. are wanted, it is possible to weed out the incompetents, but an opportunity of this kind rarely pecurs.” Flve state officials and an officer of high rank In the Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Republic today acted as pallbearers for the removal of the body of E. 8. Marsh from the home of Secre- tary of State Marsh, 1644 Locust street, to the Burlington depot. The deceased was the father of the sec- retary of state and a resident of Falls City. Friday afternoon he was stricken with paralysis : While riding in'a street car. He was quickly removed to the home of his son, where he had been visiting several weeks, and dled there about mid- night. He was 80 years old. Burial was at Falls City this afternoon. Those who acted as pallbearers were: Governor Savi Auditor Weston, Attor- ney General Prout, Land Commissioner Follmer, Superintendent Fowler and As- sistant Adjutant General Howe. No fu- neral services were conducted in this city. The body was taken on the morning traln to Falls City, .Becretary -Marsh and his family accompanying. FARMER.

AWAIT CONFERENCE REPORT to Take Action on Philippine Civil Government Bill Before WASHINGTON, when the present June 20.—The exact time session of congress shall come to a close cannot be foretold until there fs definite information as to when an agreement will be reached on the Phil- ippine civil government bill. However, the general consensus of opinlon places the adjournment on Tuesday—at the latest Wednesday. The prediction .involves the opinfon that the Philippine conferees will be able to conclude their work Monday. That they can do that is quite evident in view of what already has been accom- plished in the way of harmonizing the Qifferences on that bill and on account of the probabliity that parts of the measure will be dropped in case it should appear that no agreement will be reached except through prolonged exchange of views. Nelither house is disposed to extend the session for more than a day or two for the purpose of seeing an agreement on all the features of the bill, when it is felt on all hands that the preservation of no one feature of the bill is necessary to its suc- cess as a whole. It is not belleved In any quarter that either house will consume a great deal of time in debating the conference report when presented, but lest the debate should run longer than is expected the redolution | fixing the time for adjournment will not be brought in until the Philippine con- ference report shall be made to and ac- cepted by both houses. Of the appropriation bills, the general deficlency and the naval bill remain to receive the finishing touches. There are still some polnts of difference on each of these measures between the two houses, but none that cannot be harmonized when- ever the Philippine bill shall be out of the way. Neither house will attempt much other business. The senate calendar con- talns & number of measures.which can be discussed, and there i& an understanding fn the house that the military bill shall be used as a basis for discussion to fill in the time when conference reports are not at hand for consideration. There also is an understanding that the London dock charges bill shall be taken up under a suspension of the rules after the adoption of the resolution fixing the hour for ad- journment. Both houses will close the session with exceptionally clean calendars and with the feeling that it has been a session of im- portant achievement M’KINLEY TABLET UNVEILED Tribute of Jndge Thomas H. Anderson to Martyr Preésldent Dedicated in Metropolitan Church. WASHINGTON, June 20.—A small tatlet of white marble, bearing in letters of gold a brief statement of the life and deeds of William McKinley, the tribute of his friend, Judge Thom: H. Anderson, for- merly of Ohio, but now a member of the dlstrict bench, was unvetled in the Metro- politan church here today. The unvelling attended with eimple ceremony, in the presence of some of those who had helped the dead president execute the will of the people. Well known men added their tributes to the solemn melodies of the cholr In making the occasfon a memorable one. The American flag that concealed the tablet was drawn aslde as the congrega- tion sang with deep feeling, ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The tablet occupies a po- sition on the north wall of the main audi- torlum between the two entrances to the church. President Roosevelt and Secretary Cor- telyou were present. Addr s were made by Rev. Frank Bristol, D. D., the pastor of the church; Senator Fairbanks, Repre- sentative Grosvemor and Representative Robert W. Taylor of Ohio, who now repre- nts the district in congress formerly represented by President McKinley. The tablet is about three feet high by two feet wide and is made in the form of a shield. At the apex of the shield a small cross Is carved, while at the bottom 1s the shield from the great seal of the United States. Beneath the cross are the words, ‘“Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The maln inscription is on the body of the shield. Below the border are the last words of the dead president: “Thy will, not ours, be done.” PHILIPPINE CONFEREES MEET y Seasions to Effect Speedy Settlement of Civil Gov- ernment Bill WASHINGTON, June 29.—The conferees on the Philippine civil government bill were In session a large part of the day. They met first in the forenoon at Senator Lodge’s house, breaking up about 4 o'clock and reassembling at 9 o'clock. The sec- ond meeting was still in progress at mid- night. - After the conferemce took a recess at 4 o'clock it was stated that no agreement had been reached on the coinage and Phil- ippine branches of the bill, which have been the principal obstructions to the bill, but it was sald tonight that the findica- tions were favorable for the biil.

Admiral Kil- lick, commander of the Haytien fleet, dia- embarked a further detachment of troops and a large quantity of ammunition at 4 o'clock this morning for the better pro- tection of General Firmin, one of the can- didates for the presidency of the republic Since 6 o'clock this morning there have becn several lively engagements between the men on the fleet and the revolutionists from the north. BSeveral machine guns were set up in commanding position by General Firmin's forces, and an attempt was made to drive the men from the north from their positions. Notwithstanding the | firing from the machine guns, the detach- ments of the morthern revolutionists made several attacks on General Firmin's troops | and the latter was eventually dislodged. In the meantime the vessels under com- | mand of Admiral Killick were bombarding | Cape Haytien. This action was taken with out previous notification to the foreign consuls here. There has been a lively rain of shots down the streets of Cape Haytien all day long. The firing was particularly heavy between noon and 2 o'clock and be- tween 4 and 5 o'clock this afternoon At the moment of filing this dispatch the foreign consuls, under the protection of their various flags, are with General Firmin and are about to embark on the | government gunboat Oretoa Pierot. They are under a rather heavy fire and in con- siderable danger. The forelgn residents of this port are at present opposed to the lawlessness and savagery of the combat- ants. Deep regret is expressed that no war- ship of a foreign power is in the harbor to afford protection to foreign residents. Great excitement reigns here this after- noon and as this dispatch is sent the firing in the streets continues.
