GOVERNOR NASH AND PARTY LEAVE - FOR TRIP OF A DAY TO SOUTHWARD Drive Through the Garden City and a Visit to Santa Cruz Big Trees Attract Visitors Away From the Metropolis. + OVERNOR NASH of Ohio, his staff and nearly all of his party left at 4 o'clock vesterday afternoon to re- turn to San Jose, where they will be entertained this morning by members of, the local Ohlo Soctety. After a drive through the Garden City they will go to Santa Cruz and see the big trees, and will re- turn to San Francisco to-night. The forenoon of yesterday was spent in restful inactivity by the Ohioan visitors. The hurried journey northward, the hearty reception in the Palace Hotel ro- tunda and the theater party following so closely upon the heels of the reception as a representative of the Ohio Soclety, and General James M. Gleaves and Colo- nel W. . Jordan, president and vice president, respectively, of the Ohio So- clety, plan to go down this morning and return with the party to-night. The special is scheduled to reach San Francisco again this evening at § o'clock, but the length of the trip to be taken makes it improbable that it will arrive before a much later hour. The Ohioans are immensely pleased with the reception accorded them in San Francisco. They say that not only has the warmest of welcomes been accorded them, but arrangements for their com- fort have been perfect. Their old neigh- bors and friends of the Ohio Society have left nothing undone to make them happy and they will return from San Jose an- s N ’//}/7 A 3 SAN JOSE YESTERDAY.

The two Governors spent a pleasant half- hour together, establishing most cordial relations. Governor Gage has announced that he will attend the banquet to be given by the Ohilo Soclety Thursday night, at which Governor Nash will he one of the guests of honor. The departure for San Jose by special train was without fuss and feathers or any excitement greater than that caused by several members of the party missing the train. The unfortunate ones will go down to San Jose this morning in time to catch up with the party and accompany it on the trip to the big trees. R. M. Green accompanied the Ohioans ticipating a most enjoyable week In San Francisco. - GOVERNOR NASH IS IN SAN JOSE Ohio Congressmen Visit Mount Hamilton and Enjoy View of Valley SAN JOSE, May 12.—Governor G. K. Nash and his party of distinguished Ohio- ans arrived this evening to attend the car- nival. A reception committee of the local Ohio Society met them at the depot. Gov- ernor Nash, Misses Louise and Helen Deshler, Private Secretary Sinks and Mrs. o Sinks were taken in a four-in-hand to the residence of S. F. Leib on the Alameda, where they will be entertained during their stay. The rest of the party went to Hotels Vendome and St. James. 2 The Ohio Congressional delegation ar- rived on a train this forenoon and made a trip to Mount Hamilton. To-morrow morn!ng the Ohioans will be taken for a drive about the orchards surrounding the city and given an Italian breakfast at the Quito Olive farm. To-morrow afternoon Geovernor Nash will be tendered a recep- tion at the Ohio Soclety’s headquarters in the Courthouse, which has been magnifi- cently decorated in honor of the Buckeye Governor. o D e e e e e S e S S S S ST ) GENERAL STRIKE 13 THREATENED Machinists Still Insist on Increase of Wag —_— WASHINGTON, May 12.—A general strike, involving directly 150,000 machin- ists and indirectly 500,000 men in the met- al working trades, is expected to take place on May 20 unless some arrangement is effected in the meantime. This is the statement made to-night by President James O'Connell of the International As- sociation of Machinists, who has head- quarters in this city. The demands of the men, the refusal of which threatens to precipitate the strike, Mr. O'Connell said, are a working day of nine hours and an increase of 12% per cent in wages, or, in other words, ten hours’ pay for nine hours’ work. The matter, he sald, has been under consideration for some time, and every effort has been made by the machinists’ association to avoid resorting to a strike, but such action, he says, is now necessary if the workingmen hope to attain the end they are striving for. Some time ago, through the efforts of the International Assoclation and the Na- tional Trades Assoclation, the employers of about 25 per cent of the men who will be affected by the strike made conces- sions by agreeing to a general work day of nine hours, which was to become oper- ative on May 20 of this year. The ques- tion of an increase of wages, however, or its equivalent, the granting of ten hours’ pay for nine hours, remained un- settled. Yesterday the representatives of the Metal Trades Association and the Nation- al Association of Machinists held a con- ference in New York, at which an attempt was made to reach an agreement on the wage matter, so that the strike proyoud for May 20 could be avoided. Mr. O'Con- nell, however, says that the employers re- fused to arbitrate the question of wages nationally, but that they expressed a willingness that this matter be settled by employers locally, each individual case to be treated as such. This method un- satisfactory to the representatives of the Machinists’ Assoclation, who express the opinion that this would prolong indefinite- ly the settlement of the question. Upon his return to the city Mr. O’Connell prepared the order for the it was sent out by mail to- ell says that about 200 firms, es represent probably 20 per men who will be affected strike, have signed agree- n in the hours of ‘of pay, so that the agitation on the sub?ect already has ben- efited them materially. For prudential reasons the executive committee has determined not at this time to apply the strike order to the rail- roads. Whether it will done in the future will depend altogether on developments. TEXTILE OPERATIVES TUNITE. | Will in Future Be Members of One Great Organization. BOSTON, May 12.—As a result of the Textile Convention, which concluded its sessions at the Quincy House to-day, 75,- 000 men and women employed in the tex- tile industries of North America will be members of one great labor organization to be known as the United Textile Work- ers of America. Representatives of the International Union of Textile Workers and the American Federation of Textile Operatives were present, with James Duncan, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, acting as chairman. Both organizations decided to amalga-~ mate and apply for a charter under the title named. After that is secured the Mule Spinners’ Unjon and the Loom Fix- ers’ Union will affiliate themselves with the organization, which will .eventuall; mean a membership of 300,000, and an ami- cable understanding between textile em- ployes in the North and South. In the past the employes in the South have been members of the International Textile Workers, while the Northern o] eratives have been members of the Amer- ican Federation of Textile Operatives. For a long time a union has been sought by the officials of both. BISHOPS POSTPONE CHURCH DEDICATION Services Could Not Be Held, as the Edifice Was, Not Out of Debt. FREDERICK, Md., May, 12—The event of the centennial celebration of the quad- riennial conference of the United Breth- ren in Christ, which was to have taken place to-day, that of dedicating the new Centennial Memorial Church, on Second street, erected to perpetuate the memory of Otterbein, Bohehrein and Newcomer, the founders of the church and its first Bishops, was postponed until next Sun- day. The law of the church provides that no church shall be consecrated un- less the debt has been paid in full or sat- isfactorily provided for. An extensive programme of interesting exercises had been arranged for the occa- sion. The four Bishops and the entire conference had assembled on the scene and the edifice was crowded with worship- ers to witness the ceremonies, but after a hasty consultation the Bishops decided to postpone the dedication until next Sunday. Howeyer, rather than disappoint the people the greater portion of the pro- ramme was carried out. To accommo- ate the crowq services were also con- ducted in the Sunday-school room, pre- sided over by Bishop J. 8. Mills of Den- ver. Services were again held in the opera- house to-night. The pulpits of the various Protestant_churches of the city were fllled by the leading members of the conference to-night, ¢ | b DEWET'S FORCE MGAI ATIE Boer Leader Enters the Transvaal With Two Thousand Men. —_— LONDON, May 12.—General Dewet, ac- cording to a dispatch to the Dalily Mall from Pretorfa, has resumed operations ang is reported to have crossed into the Transvaal with 2000 men. At a banquet of the Cornish Association held in London last night General Pole- Carew sald: ‘At the beginning of the war had the Boers fully realized their strength and our unpreparedness we would have been driven into Durban and Cape Town and we would have presented the spectacle of conquering South Africa from the sea coast.” “‘Charles Bletterman Elliott, the retired general manager of the Cape Government rallways, has been appointed a commis- sloner to tour England, continental Eu- rope and the United States,” says the Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail, “for the purpose of inquiring as to the best systems of electric lighting, car- riaiea and other railway construction, with a view to extensions, He is em- powered to order material and rolling stock for the construction of the new light railways.” ESCAPES THE BULLET AND EILLS ASSAILANT Arizona Jury Decides That Engineer McAllister Was Justified in Shoot- ing Former Associate. PRESCOTT, Ariz., May 12.—J. W. Yoho, mechanical engineer at the Empire mine, on Groom Creek, eight miles south of Prescott, was shot and instantly killed by another engineer named McAllister last night. Yoho had become obnoxious to the other men employed at the mine, and the manager, anticipating trouble, discharged him yesterday. Yoho seemed to blame McAllister for getting the miners down on him and for fimng him discharged. He called at Mc- lister's room and asked him to go down the gulch with him and fight it out. Mc- Allister declined, and after abusing him Yoho drew a pistol and fired at him, but missed. Just as he fired a second shot McAllister fired also, his ball taking effect in_Yoho's chest and resuiting in almost instantaneous death. The Coroner's jury rend a verdict of justifiable homicide. Both men are married and have families. LULL BUT NOT S Sunday made a lull but not a stoppage in the preparations for the raception of McKinley upon his return from San Jose and his entrance to San Francisco as President, willing and pleased to receive the plaudits of his admiring countrymen. Many forces of men were at work decor- ating business houses along the principal streets and adding more and more to the gala day appearange of the city. Governor Gage has annaunced that he will not attend the citizens’ banquet on Saturday night. He says that he regards the banquet as a purely local function, without State significance, and as his presence is needed in Sacramento at that time he will remain at the capital. He) will, however, attend the Ohio Society banquet. Plans_have been formed for John D.| Long, Secretary of the Navy, to visit| Mare Island Navy Yard Thursday. He| will be accompanied on the excursion | rom San Francisco .by the Ohio Con- gressional and the California Con- ressional delegation. Joseph S.

NEW YORK, May 12—0f twenty-six young people who started from College Point, L. L, last night on what is locally | known as a “starlight ride,” two were | carried home this morning dead, five are in the hospital, four were allowed to leave the hospital after having their | wounds dressed, and every one of the re- mainder was more or less bruised. A col- Hsion with a trolley car caused the acci- dent. The dead are Michael Schneir and Joseph Picket. The merrymakers were on their way to a hotel ten miles away, where they | were to have a dance. They were all in one wagon, the bottom of which had been filled with straw. It was almost midnight when they reached Distler's Hotel, on the edge of Jamaica. When in front 0(: the house the driver of the wagon tried | to cross the tracks of a trolley line in front of an approaching car. The car struck the rear end of the wagon, and the vehicle was demolished. Picket “was | hurled into the air, and fell thirty feet away, his head striking a fire hydrant. Schneir was also thrown into the air, and landed, head first, on the macadam pave- ment. Both died in a short time. Miss Mattie Debovise sustained a se- vere contusion of the chest and hips, and was the worst hurt among the injured. The car itself was badly wrecked, but none of the twenty-five passengers were | injured. The motorman was arrested, though claiming to be without blame in the mat- ter.
