Sl EMPLOYING PRINTERS REFUSE THE REQUEST Typothetac of America Not Yet Ready to Grant the Nine- Hour Day. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 26.—After strug- gling through a long executive session, during which the nine-hour day was the subject of warm debate, the United Typothetae of America at noon to-day disposed of the auestion for the present by the passage of the following resolu- tions: “Resolved, By the United Typotuetae of America, that this body does not deem it practicable at the present time to rec- ommend to its members any change in the hours of labor which constitute a day's work. “Resolved, That the secretary of this convention be instructed to forward cop- ies of these resolutions to the presidegt of the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistants’ Union and to George W. Har- ris, chairman of the committee appointed by the International Typographical Union. “Resolved, That a committee of five members of this convention, to whom shall be referred the question as to what measure, if any, can be adopted by the employing printers wnich will make a shorter work day practicable without en- dangering loss upon the employers, be appointed, and that this committee be authorized to confer with the represnta- | tives of the International Printing Press- men’s Union and International Typo- graphical Union and such other similar anizations as it may deem proper.” peace commission. | At the adjournment of the meeting Secretary Day announced that four | members of the commission had been | selected, Secretary Day, Senators Frye and Davis and Whitelaw Reid. As to the fifth member of the com- mission no definite announcement could be made, Justice White's acceptance not having at that time been received. | The membership of the commission | being completed, Secretary Day ar- | ranged to leave for Canton to-morrow, in order to make his personal prepara- tions for the trip to Paris. He will be accompdhied abroad by Mrs. Day, who has entirely recovered from her recent lllness. The Secretary has already shipped to Canton a number of ‘his per- sonal effects in anticipation of his early retirement from the head of the State Department. Assistant Secretary Moore to-night admitted his selection as secretary of | the commissich. He said he had nntt decided on when he would resign hls‘ position as Assistant Secretary of State, | but that it would probably be within | a fortnight. He had a long conference | with the President this afternoon. | The following attaches of the peace | commission have been selected and will | be appointed by the President: John Moore of Massachusetts, now Assistant | Becretary of State, to be secretary of the commission, and J. W. MacArthur | of New York to be assistant secretary. | Mr. MacArthur was formerly first sec- retary of the United States légation at} Madrid and is now on special duty at | the State Department. He has had con- | siderable experience in work of a dip- | lomatic nature. These appointments | were decided on by the President this | afternoon. - JUSTICE WHITE RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTS NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The Wash- Ington correspondent of the Herald tel- egraphs: Justice White of the Su preme Court of the United States hai reluctantly accepted the appointment as member of the commission to ar- range the terms of peace with Spain. The reason for his reluctance was that | two members of the Supreme Court Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Brew- | er, are members of the Venezugla Ar- | bitration Commission and will probably | be absent much of the time during the | next ion of the court. Justice White | doubted the advisability of having still another member of the court absent . from the bench, and this consideration led him at first to decline the appoint- ment. He considered his declination as final, but the President and all the members of the Cabinet united in urg- ing him to reconsider his determination and the President this evening received a message from him accepting the place on_the commission. The commissioners and attaches will | sail for Paris on September 15, and, in- cluding the ladies who will accompany them, will number about thirty. SPAIN CONSIDERING DISPGSITION OF TROOPS Bagasta Thinks Those That Capitu- lated at Manila Should Go to the Viscayas Islands. MADRID. Aug. 26.—The Cabinet was in gession again to-day. Senor Sagasta said the Government was principally occupied with the disposition of the troops that had capitulated at Manila. It would be better, he thought, to transport them to the Viscayas Islands than to bring them home, but the question must be decided | by agreement with the American Gov- ernment. It depended upon whether or not the troops were considered prisoners of war. The Spanish army officers who arriy- ed on the steamer Alicante, which reach- ed Corunna on the 24th inst. with the first of the Spanish repatriated soldiers, were given a banquet by representati of the Madrid press. The officers declare that both the American and Spanish na- tions adhered to the methods of cfvi ized warfare throughout the campaign. They concede the superfority of Ameri- can artiliery. The health of the troops which arrived on the Alicante is already greatly improved. BODIES OF SOLDIERS TO BE BROUGHT BACK Americans Slain in the Late War ‘Will Be Interred in Their Home Country. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: It is the expressed intention of Secretary Alger to have the body of every man killed in the war brought back to the United States. With this purpose in view he has given instructions to have each grave marked so there would be no doubt us to the identification of the bodies. This action was anticipated by Con- gress, which just before adjournment ap- propriated $200,000 to defray the expenses »f bringing back the dead.” Certain regu- {ations laid down for the purpose of quar- antine will be observed, and the remains of soldiers will not therefore be im- mediately removed. It is probable that & number of months will intervene, but as soon as it can be done with safety to the health of the living the work will be be- gun. ——— DESERTER CAPTURED.

The opening session was taken up with receiving routine committee reports, the most important being that of the com- mittee on use of the union label, which reported that it believed the enforced rinting of the union label on public print- ng matter, national, State and munici- pal, is a violation of the constitutional 1rlghls of the individual and is class legis- aton. A resolution passed authorizes the exec- utive committee to institute and prosecute a test case on printing of the union label to a court of last resort. The convention was brought to a close to-night by a banquet given at the Hotel Pfister by the Miwaukee Typhothetae to | the visiting delegates, covers being laid for 200 guests. SoRa iy PUGILIST SCOTT DIES. Butler and His Seconds Are Placed Under Arrest. NEW YORK, Aug. %.—Alex Scott, pu- gilist, died at the Norwegian Hospital this morning of uraemic convulsions, brought on by his exertions in his fight with Tommy Butler at the Greenwood Athletic Club, Brooklyn, last night. Scott was a brakeman on the Long Island Rallroad, 2 vears old, and leaves & widow and two children. He had made no proper preparation to meet Butler last night, and it is declared by the physi- cians that his kidneys were in bad condi- tlon before he entered the ring. The ex- citement, heat and his exertions brought on a series of uraemic convulsions, to which he succumbed. Butler and his sec- onds are under arrest. Dr. J. P. Hart, the physcian té the Greenwood Athletie Club, sald that Scott was in perfect condition when he entered the ring. He said the probable cause of his death was concussion of the brain. In the last round, the doctor said, Scott showed the fatigue of this terrible exer- and he was knocked the hard-wood floor. Tommy Butler was arraigned before a magistrate, charged with manslaughter, and remanded in the sum of $500. The court denied a motion to dismiss on the Ermmd of insufficient proof that a crime ad been committed. The magistrate said: ‘‘Notwithstanding the club’s license and the laws on boxing, no man has an; right to inflict punishment that will kill, %ufler pleaded not guilty. The second: of the club, the president of s the club and the alleged matchmakers of the club, were all held in $1000 for examination on Tues- day. The prisoners, with the exception of Butler, were arraigned as abettors. RACING AT SANTA ROSA. Present Meeting Will Close To-Day With a Special Programme.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Aug. 26.—J. A. Ford, a well-known school teacher of this county, was this afternoon arrested and charged with manslaughter by J. M. Rels, whose 8-year-old boy died from what he alleges were the results of injuries re- celved in the schoolroom by being roughly handled by Ford. It is claimed that Ford threw the boy on a bench, and the boy, striking his head, recelved injurles to the brain that caused his death in a few days. Ford denles any rough treatment of the boy.

Special Di SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 26.—News | reached here this afternoon of the wrecking of the bark Guardian on the rocks off Tigaldo Island, Alaska. No lives were lost. Captain Eagles and the crew took to the lifeboats and pulled through the fog twenty-three miles to Unalaska. The Guardian wil undoubt- edly be a total loss, as she was fast go- ing to pieces when last sighted. The . Guardian was returning from Kotzebue Sound, where she had landed a large number of passengers. The steamer Conemaugh sailed for St. Michael to-day with a large cargo | of freight. She also carried four river steel steamers knocked down. Included in her freight were sixty tons of sup- plies for the United States soldiers at St. Michael and the light battery sent north from San Francisco a few days ago on the steamer Humboldt. The steamer Laurada arrived this af- ternoon from St. Michael and Dutch Harbor, Alaska, with 200 passengers, 150 of whom are from Dawson. Only a few had gold dust, the total amount of which is estimated between $50,000 and $100,000.

C., who was last March designated by Postmaster General Gary {as special postal commissioner for Alaska, has arrived in Skaguay from ' St. Michael, via Juneau, in the gunboat | Wheeling, after a journey of over 10,000 | miles through Alaska. He has estab- lished a great many new offices and for | the interfor Alaskan towns between Juneau and Tanana he has arranged for | a twice a month mail, and for the towns between St. Michael and Tanana a monthly mail. This service is to be maintained throughout the entire year, winter and summer. Mr. Clum says that the Government will send out in- spectors to Alaska frequently to see that the contractors for carrying the mails live up to their contracts. ‘ Major J. M. Walsh, the Yukon Com- missioner, who has been succeeded by | Mr. Ogilvie, the former Dominion Sur- | veyor, is in the city awaiting the ar- | rival of his successor, who is expected |in a few days. Major Walsh said to- day that the collection of the royalty was a matter optional with him and in all matters he was granted great lati- tude; that he was empowered to amend the existing mining laws and in some instances he did change and modify them to suit the exigencies of the oc- casion. Concerning the collection of the royalty the major vehemently re- marked: “I never enforced the collec- | tion of the royaity from any man who | was not able to pay the royalty many times over. The law was only enforced against the men who were able to pay it—the rich mine owners.” - VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 26.—The steamer City of Topeka arrived this afternoon from Alaskan points, bring- ing among her passengers Postal In- spector Clum, who is returning from a tour of Alaska Territory. A brother of Major Walsh was also a passenger. The major was still at Skaguay await- Ing the arrival of Commissioner Ogil- vie. The passengers confirm the statement of the richness of the Pine Creek diggings. There is a shortage of suppliegs inevitable at Dawson this winter. But few cargoes have been received via St. Michael, and the boats from Lake Bennett can make only about three more trips. Commissioner Livernash addressed a meeting after his return from Ottawa, indicating that he had received no en- couragement to expect a removal of royalties on the output now levied by the Dominion Government. Many peo- ple are getting away from Dawson, wages are decreasing and the pros- pects for a hard winter, unless relief of some kind is provided, are decidedly serious. The charges made against Commis- sioner Fawcett are said to be incom- petency and the postal officials are cleared of any boodling. TROUBLESOME HOP-PICKERS. Gang of Strikers on a Lodi Ranch Making Threats. LODI, Aug. 26.—The hop-pickers at the Olsen ranch, near Newhope, have been on a big strike for three days for higher rates. About eighty pickers are involved. Several times a display of arms.has been made, but there has been no shooting. The strikers are led by a Stockton gang. Last night one man was arrested for a threat to burn Olsen out, and he was kept in irons all night. Trouble may ensue. Cruiser Prairie Uninjured. NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The auxiliary eruiser Prairie went agropnd on a sand bar off Amgansett, L. I, about half a mile from the mainland. She was hauled off by two tugs this afternoon and proceeded to Fort Pond Bay, where she anchored.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 25.—The Spanish transports San Francisco, San Augustine and Colon left this after- noon with 4568 Spaniards, including fif- teen officers and their families and four priests. Eight men died on the way to the ships. Their corpses were “checked off” as passengers. It ap- pears that there have been many in- stances of this during the embarka- tion of the Spaniards, the transporta- tion company thus being enabled to collect the passage money, a thing readily managsd under the easy inspec- tion of the Americans. General Toral, when bidding adieu to the Spanish officers and men who were leaving said: “Conquered, we yield with honor to ourselves and to Spain. Whatever may be the future of Cuba, history will pre- gerve the story of our heroic and noble deeds in this country. We regret our failure and its cost In treasure and In ®lood, but you have nobly fought and nobly lost.” General Shafter and his staff sailed this afterngon ‘on the TUnited States transport Mexico. On arriving at Mon- tauk Point General Shafter will go with Major Miley tg Washington to meet President McKinley and Secre- tary Alger, afterward proceeding to San Francisco. GARDEN PARTY AT FAIRFAX.

Faure's visit to Rus- sla. The President's telegram to the Czar was in part as follows: “The declarations which were ex- changed beneath the shadows of our fiags in the roadstead of Cronstadt are memories so dear to us, that I cannot let this anniversary pass without as- suring your Majesty again of my very keen gratitude for the reception your Majesty gave the President of the re- public. “‘Our sentiments have undergone no change. I am to-day, as I was then, a f3ithful interpreter of the French peo- ple in renewing to your Majésty an ex- pression of the ardent wish we enter- tain for your happiness, for that of the imperial family and for the grandeur of Russia.” 5 Emperor Nicholas replied: ‘“Fhe Em- press and myself are deeply touched by the sentiments you have been so good as to express on the occasion of the an- niversary of our visit on board the Pothuau. We like to revert in our thoughts to those historic moments, the remembrance of which will never fade. “It gives me pecullar pleasure to be able to renew at this time an expression of the unchanging and unceasing good wishes we entertain for you, Monsieur le President and for France, our friend.” SAVED BY.PLUCK AND LUCK. William K. Vanderbilt Jr. Has a Narrow Escape From Drowning. NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 26.—Pluck and luck saved William K. Vanderbilt Jr. from being drowned in Newport harbor, where his half-rater was caught in a nasty squall and went over, tossing young Vanderbilt and his captain into the water. They managed to right the little boat and clambered aboard again, but twice afterward she was capsized. The pair clung to her, and at last man- flied to reach shore, greatly exhausted, The alarm was great on shore, where the peril of young Vanderbilt was first seen by the soldiers at Fort Adams, and no one belleved he would come out of the squall alive. Mr. Vanderbilt, as well as his com- panion, was pretty nearly done for, but the sight of help coming gave them new life, and they made gne more effort to get the half-rater right side up. Before the soldiers could reach them they suc- ceeded in doing this, and got her into the wind and made for Newport. Wil- liam K. Vanderbilt Jr. is an under-grad- uate at Harvard University. During the summer, with his brother, Harold, he has been at the Marble House, Newport. P — Favorite Day at Glens Falls. GLEN FALLS, N.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2%.—A special to the Press from Washington says: A trans- lation of General Blanco’s latest procla- mation to the people of Havana has reached Washington. Tt says: ““We have been. vanquished, and with- out consideration of our birthplace, will be to-morrow as strangers in this coun- try and emigrants to this portion of the world, which is to-day, and perhaps for but a few weeks more, a part of our Spanish fatherland. As strangers and the vanquished, I counsel you, the peo- ple of Cuba, who deeply feel the dis- grace of their country, not to dispute any of the benefits which the triumph gives to the victors. “It is our obligation now te be quiet, not to take part in the different mani- festations of a local political nature, and even to decline participation in such af- | fairs, even if the right of franchise be offered us. But we have one duty which | should be a duty of love; that is to un- tertake the task of reconstructing all | interests, and it is your duty also | k for, even appeal if it becomes necessary, from your position as the van- quished to the victorious, for a guaran- tee of your personal safety and the pro- | tection” of your proper interests. | “If you do as I counsel you, the United | States will take care of your lives and your Interests. My mission here soon will be finished, as will be the sovereignty of Spain, and any one who feels that with honor to himself he may continue to call himself a Spaniard, will have to matri- culate his name at the Spanish Consu- late ‘which will be established in this city. “T believe that I have done all that I could have done for her Majesty’s loyal subjects. It was duty to make war against the insurgents, who have never been grateful to Spain for her efforts in | their behalf. I am convinced that there will be no further disputes between the Cubans and the Spaniards in the island, | for it Is my belief that as soon as the | Cubans begin to govern here they will| find out how useful are the Spaniards | to them, and finally will concede to them the place they deserve in the government of the island.

MANILA, Aug. 26—On Wednesday a corporal and two troops of Battery B of the Utah Artillery, after disembarking at Cavite, were sent on an errand. Whie passing through the streets Trooper Hur- son discharged his revolver, doing so in | mere fun, but the natives in the immedi- ate locality were much alarmed for the time. The natives immediately began firing. Dismounted cavalri; were sent to quell the disturbance, but the natives mis- understood the movement, and the firing became general. Trooper Hurson was Killed and Corporal Anderson mortally wounded. Troopers Laydon, Nachbar, Connelly and Doyle of the Fourth Cavalry were wounded. Four natives were killed and several wounded.

Describes the Great Battle of July 8, and Discusses the Work of the Porto Rican Peace Com- mission. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Rear Ad- miral Winfield S. Schley reached Wash- ington this afternoon over the Pennsyl- vania railroad. He was quickly noticed at almost all of the stations along the line, and throughout the trip was greeted with cheering crowds. - When the train pulled into the depot here he found a compact mass of spectators, | which filled the depot and overflowed out into the train shed. The admiral and Mrs. Schley, when they appeared, were greeted with cheers and shouts of “Hurrah for Schley.” Everybody joined in the shouting, and the depot attaches crowded about the admiral and insisted on a hand- shake. At the gates the crowd in- creased, and, amid deafening cheers, the admiral and his wife, the former with his hat off, passed through two solid lines of people. A lieutenant and squad of police with difficulty cleared a passage way to the carriage which was in waiting. Through a mass of vehicles that had been drawn up by curious drivers the hansom pulled into Pennsylvania avenue and proceeded di- rectly to the Shoreham Hotel. There were groups of cheerers all the way, and a cavalcade of enthusiasts formed a voluntary escort. The admiral stayed only a few min- utes at the hotel and then drove over to the Navy Department, where, with- | out any preliminaries, he reported di- rectly to Acting Secretary Allen. The latter accompanied him over to the White House, reaching there at 4:50 o’clock. The President gave him a most cor- dial reception. The President thanked the admiral, as he had Admiral Samp- son, for the success of that memorable engagement of July 3, and took occa- sion to say that it was that battle which brought about the surrender of Santiago. The President thanked him | on behalf of himself and the nation for his brilliant services on that day, and asked him to describe the battle, which the admiral did at length. The President entered into a discussion of the work of the Porto Rican commission, to which the ad- miral had been appointed. He went over with him the general instructions which will guide that body in arrang- ing for the evacuation by the Spanish of the island and other work. = Dur- ing most of the conference, which oc- cupied about an hour, Assistant Secre- tary of State Moore was present. On leaving the President Admiral Schley drove to the hotel Many of the friends of Admiral and Mrs. Schley learned of their presence at the hotel and called during theeven- ing. Although considerably better, he is not well, and said to-night he ex- pected to leave here to-morrow to visit - relatives in Maryland, which probably will consumg several days, after which he will go to Connecticut to remain until about to start for Porto Rico. The admiral during the evening talked briefly of some of the incidents of the fight which ied to the destruc- tion of Cervera’s squadron. He said: “It i{s my opinion that the Spanish admiral might have escaped with pos- sibly one or two of his ships had he adopted different tactics in coming out of the harbor. Had he diverted the course of his ships, sending some of them east and others to the west, it is my belief that he might have escaped with one, or possibly two of the ves- sels. Such a course naturally would have compelled us to separate our fleet, GUIDELESS PACER FALLS. Famous Mare Marion Mills Gives Her Last Exhibition. COURTLAND, N.
