LONDON, July 37.—(New York World C blegram — 8peclal Telegram.)—Colonial Becretary Chamberlain's condition ls again glving serious concern to his friends and &rave rumors are current. The World ocorrespondent s informed wpon trusiworthy authority that ever since Mr. Chamberlain was hurt in a cab mccldent on July 7, he has had recurring attacks of intermittent heart action. The cardiac troubles 80 serious that Jast week he was examined by three emi- pent specialists in heart affections and after a consultation they forbade him to gesume work in the House of Commons last Thursday, as he had proposed to do. It is probable that the specialists feared the effects of the exciting scene which would be certain to take place upon his reappearance in Parliament. Mr. Chamberlain's secretary today pub- lished the statement that the colonial sec- retary is “recovering more slowly than was expected.” This is belleved to be a conservative way of preparing the public for more serious news. As the colonial appropriations are to be discussed in the House of Commons on Tuesday it is a matter of extreme in- terest whether or not he will be there to take part In the discussion. While heretofore the reports concerning his health have been encouraging, It is certain that his appersance is greatly changed. It is said that the colomial pre- miers who met him last week were shocked ‘when they saw how he had chenged. RIOTING SCENES IN PARIS housands Throng Streets Many | Fights Take Place Over Clos. ing of Schools, PARIS, July 27.—The demonstration made today in cobnection with Premier Combe’s orders closing the schools proved quite as much of a manifestation in sup- port of the government As in opposition The crowd. e De Is ‘while ‘l‘ (.Cl' more thronged the Champs The clericals and anti-clerical forces about equally divided the gatherings. The former were distinguishable by the red, white and blue paper flowers which they ‘wore, while the latter sported red eglan- tines. Though many fights occurred they never became general, nor wae any person seriously injured. An imposing force of police and mounted municipal guards ‘bhad much ‘trouble in Xkeeping the manifestants constantly mov- 4ng and at times they were forced to charge to prevent the crowd becoming too dense. On the whole the crowds were good- matured and mainly confined themselves to shouting ‘‘Liberty! Liberty!"” “Long live the sisters!” and “We want the sisters!" To which the anti-clericals replied: ‘‘Vive le republique!” and “Down with the priests!” The occasional appearance of a priest was a sigoal for much hooting and several fights were due to their presence. A striking feature of the manifestations was the large number of women, many of them well dressed, who actively par- ticipated. Nor were these all clerical in Atheir sympathies, for the anti-clerical ‘women were also out In strong force and they occasionally made things lively for thelr clerical sisters whom the police had some difficulty in protecting. In onme in- stance a ent of mounted guards had to rescue three well dressed wbmen from the hands of & group of soclalist ‘women who were bent on mobbing them. DECISIVE BATTLE IMMINENT 'Eagagement Between Haytien Forces and Supporters of Firmin Expected Soon. { PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, July 27.—A ‘tommand of 8,000 men under General Saint Foix Colin, military commander in this district, started today to oppose Gen- feral Jean Jumeau, who supports the can- Aldacy of M.

Men of Moderate Means Shut Out from Buying Indian Lands, CHANGE WOULD BENEFIT INDIANS, ALSO Congressman Robinson Writen Pertinent Letter to the Com- foner of Indin: Aftatrs, < 4 Staft Correspondent.) WAL . July 27.—(Specl The com.. ‘sger of Indian affairs has received a Iuiter from Congressman Rob- inson of Nebraska relative to the sale of the lands of deceased Indlan allottees on the Omaha and Winnebago Indian reserva- Mr. Robinson suggests that the departmemt 6o amend the rules recently promuigated as to allow these lands to be purchased upon the payment of one-fourth of the purchase price in cash al the time of sale and the balange to be “aid in annual installments, bearing interes: at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. The congressman claims that the men in the vicinity of the Omaha and Winnebago reservations who desire to pur- chase some of these lands as homesteads are’ deprived of the privilege on account of not being ablé to raise money enough to pay the full amount of the lands in cash, and that for this reason the large real estate syndicates in the vicialty of these reservations are securing all the valuable lands for speculative purposes, much to the detriment of the men of mod- erate means who desire to/ become actual occupants upon the lands It s not known what disposition will be made by the department of Mr. Robin- son's suggestion and nome of the officials here would express themselves on the His letter to the commissioner Shut Out Homestenders. MADISON, Neb., July 25, 1802.—Hon, W. A Jones, Commissioner of Indlan Affairs, Washington: Sir—I received coples of the rules issued by the Department of the In- terior for the conveyance of Inherited, In- dlan lands. 1 note by these rules that it Is necessary for the purchaser of these lands to pay the entire amount of the purchase price in cash. In the vicinity of the Omaha and Win- nebago Indlan - reservations, situated In Thurston county, Nebraska, there are a large number of farmers who desire to purchase some of these lands for home- steads, and they are willing to pay the full market value therefor. As these lands are now. quite valuable, it is diffii- cult for the ordinary buyer of moderate eans to ralse the full amount of money i cash necegsary to complete the pur- chase under the rules of the department, Would it be possible for the department to amend rule 8 50 as to permit the pur- chase of the land upon the payment of one-fourth of the money down and the balance in annual payments, to be secured y & mortgage on the land, bearing inter- est at the rate of 6 or 7 per cent per an- num? $ In my judgment this proposed amend- ment to the rule would be of benefit to the Indlans, as they would obtain'a higher grice for fhelr lands, and in event the ndians themselves did not desire to carry the loan secured by mortgage upon the land, there is at present suc for {nvestment in first-class securities that 1o difficulty would be encountered fn sell- ing the mortgage. Another strong polnt in favdr of this manner of paying for the lands-at I for these lands—is that it h be somewhat difficult to obt: of all the heirs, but if the land bought upon the plan suggested in this letter, the payments to run from one to three' years, bearing interest, ample time would be given to ascertain all the heirs before the full amount of the purchase rice was paid, and in this way any heirs fett ‘out on the first contract could be se- cured in their share of the price obtained for the land and much litigation in this way would. be avolded. Lands Are Valuable. I do not know whether the above con- ditions will apply to other sections of the United States where there may be in- herited Indian lands, but in this section, especially ihe Omaha and Winnebago lands, where they now command a high price’ for agricultural purposes, it would certainly be of advantage to the Indians and would glve greater satisfaction to those who desire to purchase the land and would result in ohluln!ns a much higher price for the same, could the department see its way clear to amend rule 3, as above indlecated. As the matter now stands, the lai dicates in the vicinity of the Omaha and ‘Winnebago reservations, who are able to pay the full smount of the purchase price cash down, are securing all the valuable land for speculative purposes and shut- ting out those men of moderate means who desire to purchase the land for actual occupancy as homesteads for themselves and their familie As these lands situated in the Third congressional district of Nebraska, being the aistrict which T now have the honor to_represent, I have taken the liberty of calling these matters to your attention and ask that thvey receive (Jour carefulcon- sideration. Very resoectfully yours, JOHN 8. ROBINSON. Get Ready for Campaign. September and October will be exceedingly e syn- busy months for the spelibinders of the | cabinet. The president, it is understood, has quietly intimated to his offcial family that he would like to have all the speech- makers of the cablent appear on the hust- ings during the months indlcated. Two of the members of the cabinet, however, will be excused from making any speeches for the very good and sufficlent reason that they cannot flll the hill. Reference is made to Postmaster General Payne and Secre- tary Hitcheock. Unlike his predecessor in the Postofice department, Mr. Payne has never attempted to make a speech of any great length. He has been willing to allow the spellbinding to fall upon other shoul- ders while he looked after the more pra tieal work of organization, in which he 1s a past master. Secretary Hitcheock, too, Is not gifted with the speech-making habit and consequently he will be exempt from appearing on the lecture platform. Secre- tary Shaw, whose ability as an orator is country-wide and whose quaint stories and the manner of their telling has made him a much sought-atter speaker, will begin his work in the Malne campalgn. He has celved several very pressing invitations from friends to epeak in the Pine Tree state and has consented to appear in two or three of the important cities of Maine, Later he will join the president on his western trip and divide time with the chiet pxecutive. Attorney General Knox has never made a .political speech, but at the personal re- quest of the president he is to break his record, He will select some appropriate occasion for his debut on the hustings and | it is expected will talk largely about the trusi His speech upon this very vit question will undoubtedly be one of the most important utterances of the cam- paign. Secretaries Hay, Root and Moody are all brilliant talkers and they will be heard from upon a number of occasions during the course of the campaign. “Tama" Jim Wilson, the-popular secre- tary of agriculture, is aleo an old cam. paigner who will devote considerable of his time with talks to the farmers of the United States. The appearance upon the stump of all members of the president’s officlal family during the campaign just opening will be a SSPECUL,\T()RS_FOR hEL_EAss OF MINERS Habeas Cor Pushed for Men Afrested Under Judge Jacksof's Edict. INDIANAPOLIS, July '37.—At the mine { workers' national headquarters it is an- nounced today that mo Yme will be lost In pushing the habeas cOrpus proceedings for the release of members of the organiza- tion arrested under the edict of Judge Jackson of the United States district court at Parkersburg, W. Va. Secretary Wilson today explained an- other point In the miners’ case on which they will base their claim to be set fr According to Mr. Wilson not one of the men arrested was proved to have made any speeches, Inflammatory or otherwise, ter Judge Jackson's restraining order was tssued. “The injunction was issued on June 19," fd Mr. Wilson, “and the meeting com- plained of was held the next night. ‘Mother’ Jones was about the only speaker and none of the men arrested salc a word publicly to the miners. The only thing proved againet them was that they applauded the remarks of ‘Mother’ Joned. They were ar- rested the moment the meeting was over, so that they had no chdnce to speak If they had wanted to do 1 do not see how men can be committefl to jall for such a trivial offense as this &nd I believe the habeas corpus proceedings will set them free.” No charges will be fllgd against Judge Jackson, Mr. Wilson saldy untll the habeas corpus sults have been ddeided.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 27.—The be- ginning of the eleventh week of the anth- racite miners' strike finds apparently no change in the situation, although the rumor has been revived that an effort will be made some day this week upon the part of the large companies to gtart up one of their collleries. The companies have a sufficlent number ot coal and iron policemen enhsted now to prevent trouble should it arise, and ail that would be necessary to get a mine in operation would be a suMclent number of miners and laborers to blast the coal and load it on the cars. No doubt plenty of ordinary laborers could be secured, but it is a question whether the requisite number of miners could be persuaded to go into the workings. At strike headquarters the bellef ls as strong as ever that the operators canmot resume and that it is | talk to even suggest such a thing. % President Mitchell simply says that the situation s about the same and the strik- €rs are as firm as ever. A great deal of telegraphing passed to- day between Wilkesbarre, Indianapolis and the headquarters of the United Mine Work- ers in West Virginiz, the nature of which Mr, Mitchell would not make public. Three hundred delegates representing the 10,000 Polish and Lithunian miners of the Lehigh valley met in convention here today and after discussing the strike ap- pointed a committee of ten to visit New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Buffalo and other large cities and solicit ald from the Polish and Lithunian people for thelr coun- trymen now on strike In the anthracite region. President Mitchell has consented to sit on the board which will arbitrate the dif- ferences between the Scranton Electric raflway and its employes. IRON MOLDERS’ UNION ELECTS Names Executive Board at Meet Toronto and Delegates Depart. TORONTO, July 27.—The convention of the International Iron Moulders’ union closed its sessions today. The following were elected to the executive board: John Bradley, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; P. Murphy, Richmond, Va.; James H. O'Neill, Provi- dence, R. 1.; George Digel, Memphis, Tenn.; A. R. Mitchell, Montreal; John Loder, Pitts- burg, and L. O'Keete, Detroit, Mich. The new executive board met today and discussed the plan of campaign for the en- suing term and decided upon each member's itinerary. The officials spend their whole time traveling in the interests of the Inter- national Molders' union, reporting from time to time to the head offices at Cincin- natl, Nearly all of the 540 delegates left the city tonight HARTFORD TEAMSTERS STRIKE Nearly Five Hundred Men Will Go Out Monday for Recogni- ' tion of Uniom. HARTFORD, Conn., July 27.—The Team- sters’ union, numbering 480 men, voted to- day to strike tomorrow for recognition of the unlon. The conferences between the teamsters and the employers have been un- der discussion for some weeks. .~ The teamsters asked for an increase in | wages as well as union recognition, and the employers expressed a willingness to in- crease wages individually, but declined to treat with the men as a union. TO TERMINATE REVOLUTION Negotiations to Effect Settle; Colomblan Hostl s Beln sued in New York. WASHINGTON, July 27.—It 1is lesrned here that renewed efforts are making for an understanding between. the Colombian government and the Tevolutionary junta in New York that will result in a términation of the hostilities that have been in progress | for s0 long & time in the republic. Former attempts in this direction failed because the government regarded the demands of the junta s preposterous and refused to accede to them. General Vargas Santos, ame of the leaders of the revolution, is now in New York. The scene of hostilities in Colombia is sald now to be confined to the Isthmus of Panama, where the government has about 7,000 trained soldiers and the revolutionists about 4,000 men. They are all veterans in service, and a battle between the two arm- fes, it is sald, would be sure to result in & severe loss of men. CELEBRATE OLD HOME WEER Nebraskans Are Being Handsomely Enter- tained in Their Native State. FESTIVITIES THROUGHOUT BAY STATE BOSTON, July 27.—(Special Telegram.) —Nebraska, including the cities of Omaha and Lincoln, has a deep Interest in the initial celebration of Massachusetts “old home week,” which opened throughout the state today. The reason for this Interest is the fact that the state of Nebraska has 3,500 re dents who are Massachusetts born, includ- ing many men of note and prominence In various walks of life. For example, Prof. Morgan Brooks of the University of Ne- braska is a Massachusetts man, born in Boston. Many others could be mentioned. This 1s the first observance of “old home week” Massachusetts has ever had and thousands of natives of the “Old Bay State’” bave returned to visit their birth- places and renew old ties. Every town within the borders of the state has arranged a celebration in which returning sons and daughters occupy the place of honor on the program and it is probable that as the years pass ‘‘old home dny” will take on more significance and importance In the life of the state. WORK OF DRUNKEN QUINTET Attempt to Stop Motor Train Results in Collision, Seriomsly In- Juring Seven. ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 2.—An at- tempt by five men to wreck an incoming troliey car at the rifle range, a short dis- tance morth of this city late tonight, re- sulted in & rear end collision, in which seven passengers were seriously and sev- eral others slightly Injured ana two score narrowly escaped.

The obstruction, which consisted of eev- eral lengths of picket femcing and other material, had been placed on the track by five men under the Influence of liquor, be- cause, as they sald, they had attempted to flag other inbound cars without success and determined to make sure of the mext at- tempt. While the crew was trylng to clear the | track in order to proceed car 454, also in- bound, ' came along at & rapid speed and crashed into the rear of the car ahead, The vestibules on both cars were smashed and their fhteriors were wrecked. Most of the injured were caught in the wrecked ves- tibules and between broken car seats. The police are making every effort to ap- prehend the five men who placed the ob- struction on the track. They disappeared immediately after the wreck and have not yet been captured.

At a meeting today of Slavonians plane we! discussed to fight the matter in the courts aud a fund of $2,000 was pledged for legal talent. No opposition is made to the erection of a statue; the location is the The fact that the statue to Commodore Perry, the hero of Lake Erle, occuples an obscure position in a city park was brought forth as a good reason for not ing a statue to Kossuth (n the public square in the center of the city.

When members of the family reached the spot a minute later both the girl and Weyley were dead, stretched slde by side on the porch. Miss Sheridan had been shot through the heart while the top of Weyley's head had been torn off. Jealousy probably prompted Weyley to shoot Miss Sheridan and then himself.

CENTER ON UNION PACIFIC Officers of Union Bring All Foros to Bear on Overland. ORDERS COME DIRECT FROM WASHINGTON Men Now Out Are Fo den 1o Ace cept Employment Elsewhere Until Trouble with Company Has en Adjusted. The Union Pacific by August 15 will find itself confronted by a new and more com- plicated phase of labor trouble which will extend to every large trunk Mmo in the country west of the St. Lawrence river, The new element of trouble le that re- ferred to by The Bee some cwo or three weeks ago that the freight conductors and brakemen will present grievavces for which they will demand immediate settie- ment. For some time trouble has been brewing among the trainmen on the Unfon Pacifio 8s well as other big roads tlroughout the country. The complaint chiefly with ta Union Pacific men has boen over the die- arrangement ' of their schedules, which they lay to the mismanagement cf sub- ordinate officlals and by which they claim that their monthly incomes impaired. A short time ductors and brakemen decided to present a demand for the correction of this sy tem, but not until the matter been more thoroughly considered 1 1 ealled to the attention of grand lodge author- ities and trainmen on other roads was the pational movement decided upon. This national or rather international movement, for Canadian lines as well are Included in 1t, will involve & more sys- tematic arrangement and preservation ot schedules merely as a subordinate lssue, the paramount demand being a general in- crease in wages. This information comes directly from a trainman on the Union Pacific who was one of the originators of the movement and who is in closest touch with all the detals of it. Includes the Whole Country. “All necessary preparations for this gen- eral demand have been completed and the great roads country including all ‘west of the St. Lawrence river, or you might say, all except .those that run in and out of ‘New York City, will act simultaneously In' presenting their claims for higher wages and will demand dm- mediate action from the rallroad ecom- “Do_we think we wiil get'what we k- for? Well, I should say so," sald this gen- tleman to a reporter for The Be “And here is another thing we intend to do: It every road in the country except one grants these demands the trainmen will wait on that one until it ylelds, in this way assuring the success of our efforts. For in- stance, it every road except the Union Pa- cific should come to the demands of their men, the employes of all other roads would still refuse to return to work until the Union Pacific gives in, This concerted ac- tion positively will be adhered to and we depend upon it to win our fight. However, I may say that we really do not expect much of a fight, for we belleve the justice of our propositions will readily be admitted and that the varlous companies will mot hesitate to grant them.” On the Union Pacific freight conductors get 8 cents a mile and brakemen 2 cents a mile and they are allowed ten miles an hour for overtime. They will ask for 3% cents a mile for the conductors and 2% for the brakemen and fifteen miles an hour for overtime. “After our demands are made the engl- trainman Sunday. It is known now that the officiale of the Union Pacific are aware of the unrest pre- valling amoug their tralomen, but whether they are informed as to the exact nature of the contemplated movement is not known. Several of the officials whose duties bring them 'in touch with the tralnmen have thrown out “‘feelers”” of late, it is said, to locate the seat of discontent and see if some moderate remedy could not be applled and a strike averted. One of the officlals s quoted as saying that if the tralomen are not recelving proper treatment at the hands of the dispatchers a assistant division superintendents, matters would be speedily adjusted if referred to headquarters. But now that the grievances have outgrown those of disarranged schedules and centered upon the wage proposition the tratnmen realize that it would be futile to act upen the advice of their superiors until matters are thoroughly in shape (o be formally brought up all over the country, as plapn and already outlined. P What Machinists Expect. “We have centralized our whole efforts on the Union Pacific strik This is the word that came from the ma- chinists’ grand lodge authorities at Wash- ington Sunday. District Secretary Grace recelved a letter from the officials at the pational capitol yesterday assuring the ma- chinists here of absolute support and ask- ing if there is any means of aselstance the men here can suggest which bas not been offered from Washington. Tho head office has sent out Third Vice President George Mulberry of Chicago to Cheyenne, it bas B. F.

It has been decided by the machinists to levy & fine of $260 on any member of craft who leaves his home town and accepts work anywhere else while the present strike is in progress. This is done to keep the strike forces intact. Plans of Bollermakers. The bollermakers y beld & loug meeting, st which their grsnd-president, John McNell of Kansas City, addressed them.
