Mr. ‘Ronemus was the guest during the day of F. A. Jack, a member of the carmen’s executive com- mittee, and the one who was largely in- strumental In preventing a strike of the carbullders in the shops. Mr. Ronemus left in. the evening for Missourl Valley. While here he visited Superintendent Me- Keen of the Unlon Pacific, and discussed the affairs of the carbuilders as related to thé Union Pacific, expressing full faction with the result of things and ap- proving the action of the committee and local earmen.in mccepting the proposition made by the company. Mr. Ronemus addressed the carbullders at Missourl Valley Saturday night. He will. be in Omaha. tonight and speak to the carmen at Fuller's hall, Fourteenth and Douglas streets. He goes to Grand Island for a speech Monday evening, to North Platte for Tuesday evening and to Cheyenne for Wednesday evening and 6o on along the line as far as Ogden.' On his return from Ogden he will stop at Denver and speak. [ Mr. Ronemus will explafn the situation to the various unions over the line and no difficulty in bringing about a_complete re- conciliation s anticipated. The strongest feeling now exists at North Platte, where the union forms a large element of the town, Local sentiment is aid to be in favor of no strike, except by a few mon- union agitators, who are blamed with the whole trouble among the carbuilders. Ronemus Ma Statement. Bafore leaving the city Mr, Ronemus made this statement: 1 have read the schedule as agreed upon by the executlve committee and the Union Pacific company and I belleve It to be entirely satisfactory. The carmen may well feel proud of their committee's efforts in their behalt and owe to it thelr thanks. The committee was well received and courteously treated by the official ‘When ‘il the facts are understood by t earmen there will be found no cause for dissatistact) ‘ An official of the Union Pacific, as_well as F. A. Jack of the carbuilders’ executive committee, declares that the trouble among “'members of this craft is at an end. Thers bas n more or less talk of some of (| ln tled * nonunion men. were éx- emely anxious to strike, about their com- mittee “selling out”" but this seems to Bave amounted fo nothing except mere r “ertminations, The carmen ‘Are ‘all at work and there is no indication f further trouble. As far as a strike of the carbullders is concerned it is sald to be a very remote possibility. Grand Secretary and Treasurer Ronemus sald the men had no authority to strike without the sanction of thelr grand he intimated very strongly that ction would never be given until more substantial reason for striking than had yet been discovered could be found.

During the mext forty-elght hours the president and Mr. Root will go-over several matters of im- portance which have been awaiting thelr consideration. Among them are the Smith and Waller court-martial cases and the Philippine friars question. The negotla- tions respecting the friars are in an acute stage and demand deMcate handling. The president said toplght that he hoped pend- ing questions of importance could be so ar- pged ' in the near future as to sdmit of Becrotary Root's departure tor Europe this month.

List but JOHNSTOWN, July 12.—The most hbr- tible catastrophe of the Rolling Mill mine ot the Oambria Steel ecompany, fs not eapable of belng grasped. Rarly tonight in #pite of confilcting reports as to the num- ber of dead, a caretul And complete com- pliation by the Associated Press shows that 113 Is the extent of the list of t bodles outside of the mine. To this tut explorations of the mine corridors may 444 a few, but It cannot be many. Almost all the employes who would have been in the mine at the time of the life wrecking explosion of Thursday are accounted for. Very few inquiries for missing have been made to the authorities or to the mine officlals, and this better than any- thing else demonstrates the possibility of many bodles still remaining In the death tomb. The mine officials say there is no use trying to estimate the number of dead. They say they don't know and urge the tutility of placing the matter on the basis of guesswork. They express the bellef, however, that all or almoat all are out of the mine. General Superintendent Robin- $on came out about 4 o'clock, after a hard day's exploration. He expressed his conviction that mot mlore than five dead bodies would be added to the 112 already known. Sunday will dawn upon the populous ity of Johnstown prepared to devote ftaelf to mourning. More than a score of In- terments took place today. As late as 7 o'clock this evening funeral processions with bands playing dir, nd uniformed escorts at their hea passed through the streets of the city. After the bringing of the fifteen bodies to the morgue at an early hour today it was commonly rumored that the mine officlals were endeavoring to hide the truth as to'the pxtent of the disaster. The developments of the day showed that these susplclons were uUnwarranted. Consultation Over Mine. At 9 o'clock fn the morning there was A consultation In the offices at ‘the foot of, the runway from the Westmant entry, partieipated In by Mine Superintendent Robinson, Chiet Mine Inspector Roderick, Btate Mine Inspector Evans, Mine Engi- neer llocrx an@ Assistant Mine Engin Pr large map of the mine was examined and explalned to Chief Roderick. Many of the employes of the mine, in- cluding diggers, trap boys, mechanios and others were called in and quizzed. The in- Quiry was designed to give Chief Inspector Roderiol preliminary {mpression of the staty of things. Inspector Hvans sald tonight as to the future investigations: “Those of the company’s officials Wha were in the mine at the time of the explosion and have survived will be called on to testity. Until these men are able to be present at the Inquity it will be useless to try to do anything." Asked as to whosé duty It was to take cdre of the ‘accumulation of gas in the mine, Mr. Bvans said: “The fite boss, of courde, but {wo or three of the fire bosses were killed by the explosion, and in the p: ce of death must Ye aitbgether charitable and sus- pend judgment.” " After the consultation Evans went into the mine with Robinson And’ Moore. They did not emerge umtil late in the afternocon. The work they aid while In the mine was to difect thelr at- tention to the damage wrought and more eritically examine into the possible hiding m—————— CECIL RHODES® WILL Provides fon Proper Food fer Stu. dents, Cecil Rhodés, in bis late will, left a be- quest of §50,000 for the improvement of the , | llgh table for resident fellows and tutors at Orlel College, Oxford. “I am rejoiced to find that one miliionaire has at Jast given some thought to the ques- tlon of dieteties In educational {nstitu. tions,” says Ellsabeth Cady Stanton in the New York Journal. “One of the crylng evils in our scheols, colleges and universities is the bad »: employed In feeding growing boys and g *‘Students, above all other clas plenty of good, well codked food and a happy of mind in anticipation of the various meals. “Dyspepsia is one of the common dls- enses Among the literary clas foundation for this prevalen Iald 1n our colleges and what avall | sclence, philosophy and government when health is setously undermined? “‘All this comes from ignorance as to the kind of food element the body must have td supply the dally losa from brain work.
