A, BUILDING, COR. 16TH AND DOUGLAS $TS ferences that they would mot be required to depart from their old dally wage scale, they affirm. Supply of Castings Low. A car bullder, speaking of the situation at the shops, says the company's supply of castings and other furnishings necessary for the repair work is decidedly low and that something must be done very soon or operations cannot’ proceed. A machinist was asked yesterday why it was that all the men seemed to be s0 | thoroughly opposed to plecework, when the officials all maintained that it was the best system. He said “It's simply because we cannot make enough money at {t. Of course it sounds plausible to say that the mén are placed on thelr merits and the good ones can make mote, while the poor ones who cannot earn\as mych as they were getting under the old system ought not expect anything But the truth is none of us would make as much for the reason that we would not Bave work all the time. Those periods when there was nothing to do we would lose Why, as a matter of fact. it often happens that men are delayed or Interfered with at the shops by something over which they have no control, Now, we are the losers for this time it we work by the plece and that 18 the real fssue. It is not a fact that the plecework system would revolutionize things, as the company claims.” One Man at North Platte, The bollermakers yesterday received & letter from North Plate saying that but one boilermaker was at vork there—a on legged man—and he was getting 50 cents an bour. President Kennedy sald yesterday that the J. I Case firm of Milwaukee, now ad- vertising for boilermakers, is a falr firm and that any union bollermaker had a right to go te work for theni. The machinists and bollermakers both say they have heard nothing of any riots or attempted riots at Cheyenne or any other place along the line. The trainload of Pinkerton detectives has not yet reached Omaha and none of the railroads will own up to such unprecedent:d time In “rush- ing” these “sleuths” into the city. The yarns inject a spirit of levity into the otherwise serious affalr, but none of the strikers can be found who will “‘stand” for the authenticity of the fables “In all serlousness,” said Vice President Wilson, “there is nothing in any such re- ports 8o far as we know, and we think it | would have heard | is barely possible we some bint of it at least if there had beea anything to it. No men have yet been brought out from Chicago or any other place, although the company has made an effort to flll the strikers' places Machinists and bollermakers are not par- ticularly anxious for the blacksmiths and car buflders to strike, for it will net me terfally strengthen the position of the pres ent strikers, since their work i3 not so closely allied as to make one dependent on the other. Beslde this, for any larger num- ber to go out would simply iner the fluancial burdens of the American Federa- tion of Labor/ It would mean the sub- traction of just this many paying members, who would become dependent members. PRESIDENT IS URGED TO ACT May Yet Do Something to End Pro- tracted Anthracite Coal Strike. WASHINGTON, July 3.—Congressman Patterson of Pennsylvania, among whose econstituents are numbered a large percent- age of the striking miner called upon the president and urged him to take some action with the view to ending the strike. The president expressed the hope such a result would be accomplished before long. He sald he was considering all the propositions made to him on the subject which might enable him to act intelligently in the event of an occasion arising where fnterference should become necessary. President Mitchell arrived here tonight. He sald he thought there was no change in the anthracite strike. While t Illnof he brought the operators and miners to- her (n one of the bituminous district and peace again reigns there. Mr. Mitchell #aid he thought his visit to Seginaw, Mich., would have good results. He ar- ranged matters 8o that an early settle- ment of the difterences between the op- erators and thelr miners will probably take place. Joseph Wosko, Joseph Howlesh and John Pitchel, ‘stfikers from Drifton, were brought to this city (his evening and given & hearlng before Magistrate Pollock, charged with engaging in a riot at that place thjs morning. After the evidence of several deputies had been heard the ndants were held In' $500 bail for trial at court. Friends furnished the mecessary bail.

CHICAGO, July 3.—"A strike of 700 ma- chinists employed in the Baltimore & Ohio shops will be called unless the company abolishes the plecwork system,” 1s the etatement made today by Business Agent Roderick of the railway branch of the In- ternational Assoclation of Machinists. Mr. Roderick returned from Garrett, Ind., to- day and held a short conference with the Baltimore & Ohlo officlals. The conference adjourned until later without reaching an agreement. The plecework system has been In operation in the shops at Garrett, system to all the ehops resulted in a move- ment by the men to abolish it. The unton demands a minimum wage acale of 30 cents n hour. |HELD ON AN UGLY CHARGE Prominent Sew York Man and Wite Accused of Stealing Valua- ble Necklace. | * WATERTOWN, N.

UNITED STATES PROPOSES TO BUY Suggestion Made that Board of Arbi- tration Agree on Price to Be Pald—Friars Must Leave at Fixed Date. ROME, July 3.—Judge Willlam H. Taft, eivil governor of the Philippine islands, today recelved a long cable message from Secretary Root containing the depart- ment's final instructions concerning the note relating to the disposition of the triar lands in the islands which was drawn up here Tuesday, and fthis afternoon Major Porter delivered the note to Cardinal Ram- polla, the papal secretary of state. Governor Taft was gratified on learning from the same message that the Philippine civil bill had become a law. Major Porter delivered the note person- ally to Cardinal Rampolla, who conversed cordially with him at some length, ex- pressing the hope that the negotlations would be concluded in time to allow Judge Taft to leave Rome 'nly 23. The pope read the original note, which was fmme- diately manifolded for the henefit of the committee of cardinals having charge of the matter. The note covers fourteen typewritten pages. It begins with ac- knowledging the vatican’s note ot June 21 and says he (Judge Taft) is pleased that the vatican Approves of the sending to Rome of a representativo of the president with the obfect of arriving at a satisfac- tory agreement on the questions in dis- pute and to see that the general views of the vatican are in harmony with the views of Secretary Root, although on one of the important questions, namely, that of the relikious orders, there appears to be a difference regurding the methods to be adopted in order to remove the ad- mitted diffculty. Answering the vatican's note proposing to have the new apostolic delegate at Munila settle the question of the religlous orders, Judge Taft remarks: “Thus would be lost the advantages ex- pected from a direct contract clearly de- termining the principal lines upon which co-operation between the state and church may be assured Purchase of The note proposes the purchase of the land of the Dominicans and Augustinians at a price to be determined on by five arbitrators, two to be chosen by the United States, two by the vatican and ome by a neutral, say the British governor of Indla. The arbitrators to meet in Manila no later than January 1, 1903, examine wit- nesses and visit the land. The judgment of the majority Lo be ac- cepted. The price to be pald in Mexican dollars, one-third immcdlately, a third in nine months and a _hird In eighteen months, with interest at 43 per cent. Payment to be made to a person chosen by the vatican. The former Spanish crown lands now in possession of the AmePrican government on which there are ecclesiastical bufldings to be handed over to the ecclesiastical official appointed by the vatican. The ordinary cpurts to decide concerning the land retained by the church, but claimed by the municipalitie 1t is hoped that when an apostolic dele- gate competent to represent the holy see is sent to the Phbilippines he will be able to decide which propesty used for charitable or educational institutions belongs to the hurch and which to the state, Cases of disagreement shall be submitted to the arbitration of the same arbitrators who shall also decide the San Jose founda- tion case, now pending before the supreme court of the Philippines. Indemnity for Buildings. The United States to pay an indemnity for the buildings used by the American troope, but nothing is to be pald until the title deeds are in the hands of the Philip- pine government. All friars of the four orders shall with- draw within two years from the first pay- ment. A small number are to continue during that time to look after the schools and universities; all of them must go, half after nine months from the first pay- ment and half elghteen months later, not including friars who have not raised the hostilities of the natives and who re- mained {n their parishes after the revolu- tion of 1898 till mow, except those in Ma- nila. No Spanish friars may be substituted for those withdrawn. The churches, schools and universities | may be directed by Spanish clergy or or- ders other than those withdrawn. or clergy of the same order who are not Spanish It is necessary to convince the Fillpinos that the ancient regime of the Spanish triars is finished. The note reminds the vatican that the orders still publish a paper in Manila, which is antl-American and anti-Philip- plne, but pro-Spanish, and that the orders possess property In Manila to the value of nearly 6,000,000 Mexican dollars, while that of the Catholic church is only valued at 3,500,000 Mexican dollars. This 1s very \gnificant, as the church has a large capi- tal at interest, besides the land which it is now proposed the government should pur- chase. To reach the desired object the best thing is to prevent any member of the four withdrawing orders, without dis- tinction or nationality, from being sent to the tslands. Must Have Harmony. Land Proposed. Nothing will 8o calm the people and pro- duce harmony between the church and the government as the certainty given by con- tract that the friars shall leave at a fixed date, shall not return and shall not exer- cise any influence from Manila over the priests in the parishes. In view of these facts it Is hoped the vatican will accept the propositions The note ends with calling the attentlon of the vatican to the clause regarding re- liglous teachings in the public schools, say- ing that Judge Taft's Instructions prevent further discussion of the matter. It also calls the attention of Cardinal Rampolla to the sixteenth section of the general law for the Philippine schools, & copy of which is enclosed. The note is accompanied by the kind of contract which Judge Taft proposes will be signed.

LOOKING UP CANAL TITLE Assistant Attorney Genmeral Wil Visit France for that Purponse. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The work incl- dent to the carrying out of the provisions of the Spooner amendments to the isthmian canal bill will be prosecuted with the ut- most expedition consistent with the na- ture and magnitude of the Interests in- volved. Attorney General Knox has desig- nated Charles H. Russell, an assistant to the attorney general, to o to Parls and make a critical and exhaustive examini tion of the records in the c Mr. Ruj sell is exceptionally well equipped for the task. Under the direction of Mr. Knox, Mr. Russell will apply to the French court of cassation to complete certain essential proceedings and will verify records and proceedings in the case, of which the at- torney. general now has reputed tran- scripts. Tae liquidation of the old canal com- pany and the merger of its interests in the new onme will deserve Mr. Russell's careful scrutiny. While it is thought that a perfect title to the Panama canal prop- erty can be secured and any necessary concessions obtained fr.m Colombia, the attorney general is unwilling to expr himself on the subject further than to say that he s hopeful of success, but that everything will depend on the result of the specific concessions which Colombia is willing to make. It i7 possible that after the examination of the records shall have been completed, Mr. Knox him- self may go to France for a personal ve- view of the work betore proceeding fur- ther with the negotlations.

Unexpected developments came about yesterday In the electric linemen's labor difficulties. The Nebraska Telephone com- pany posted a notice in the afternoon, say- ing that all linemen would hereafter receive $2.76 a day for nine hours’ work. The men have been getting $2.50 a day for the same length of time and made a demand for no more time or no less time, but slmply the recognition of their union. What effect this sudden and unlooked-for action on the part of the company will have on the demands of the linemen is not known. The linemen have been endeavoring to se- cure recognition of their unton from the | company for a long time, but they have met with defeat and don't know now what the company’s attitude is on this subject. One of the linemen said last night'that he did not think the company meant to imply any recognition of the union by its volun- tary action in raising the men's pay, nor could he tell what the union would do with the old demand. That is a matter for the executive committee of the union to deal with. It may be decided best to abandon the demand for recognition or it may be decided to persist in this demand. ““What we as union men care most for," this representative said, “is recognition of our unlon. Give us that and we will look out for the r There are fourteen gangs of linemen under the management of the Nebraska Telephone company and 95 per cemt of all the men are members of the union and the other 5 per cent have made applications for membership. There is not a non-union lineman in Councll Bluffs. The Nebrasks company does not discriminate against union men. Only yesterday four were added to | the company's payroll. It is significant that the committee of | linemen presented a new and formal de- mand for recognition of the union yester- day, the same day on which the com, posted its motice of an increase In wi FIRE RECORD.

Thuraday night while firecrackers and blank cartridges wora being exploded under the window, the Bouglas County Democ tacy took a whirl at ratifylog the sction of the state and county conventions. Bpeeches wera punciuated by cannon shots fired by the Omaha Guards across the street, to the sduth, and enough enthusiasin and nolse was worked up to sult the most stronuous fusionst In calling the meeting to order President Rengan made a short talk complimentary to the nominees of the fusionists and created considerable applause by announcing that since it organization the Douglas County Democracy had always stood by the nom nees, and that its fighting was done at the primaries and conventions, and not after Bhort talks were made by J. P. English, W. P. McDevitt, L. J. Plattl, George Ber- trand, J, E. Riley, J. C. Brennan, Joseph Butler, J. A. C. Kennedy and others. Let- ters were read from W. H. Thompson and A. E. Oflbert, expressing their regret at not being able to be present, and thanking the club for inviting them. The clubrooms were crowded Amusements. A\ the Boyd Punctuated by the pop of the premature, but patriotic pistol and the cracking of numerous noise-making contraptions whose spasmodic but assertive explosions gave the approach of another birthday for the American eagle, the speeches of the actors who presented “The Crucifix” at the Boyd last night lost maybe some of thelr meaning to the audi- ence, but still retained enough to tell a atory of intrigue, jealosy, tyraany and the end. It s a trifie diconcerting to an actor to be interrupted between words by the banging of giant crackers or the short, sharp bark of a 44 loaded with blanks, but they have to put up with it on the night before the Fourth, and the audience has its grievance as well. The plece put on by the Ferris stock company for its regular Thursday night change of bill is a Russian melodrama, with enough of ac- “‘heart Interest' in it to stock half a dozen ordinary society dramas. Under the arrangement it goes with a enap, and un- folds a plot as lengthy and involved as that of a Gaboriou novel. One thing it does, however, Is to bring to the front the capabllities of one or two of the lesser members of the company. Miss Junie Swift, who did so well as Phyllls Lee in “The Charity Ball,” has a part that gives her fine opportunity and she takes it well. Miss Swift has an at- tractive presence, a pleasing volce and a good conception of the role she assumes Mr. George J. Elmore makes much of the character of Norovieff, a moujik and a spy of the czar, who Is the marplot of the plece. He was several times applauded last night. Miss Hayward has a difficult role in the character of a French actress who {s consumed by jealousy, and offered the tragedy feature of the piece. The play will be given at a special matinee this afternoon. VICTIMS OF THE FIREWORKS Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Root Injured 1 Street Accident Due to Explo- sfon of Birecracke Mrs. J. C.
