Iron molders in the Risdon, City, Vul- | can, Mechanics’ and Enaterprise foundries to the number of 100 walked out yesterday morning in accordance with a resolution adopted some days before not to handle any patterns or other work done by non- unior: men. According to William Mec- Cabe, president of the Iron Trades Coun- cil, all union iron molders will follow this plan. Word has been recelved from the Eastern headquarters of the Iron Molders’ Union as to the course to pursue, but President McCabe declines to make the information public. | The work of repairing the steamers So- noma, Australia, Taqua, Arctic and Mary D. Hume has been declared by the Iron “unfair” and the union men employed thereon have been ordered out. In order to correct a statement pub- lished in a morning paper yesterday the following has been issued by order of the | Iron Trades Counci CISCO, June 5, 1801. The Iron Trades Council, in view of the fact that many misstatements regarding the standing of the various unions affillated with this council have been made, desires to place itself before the public in a true light. Mem- | bership comprises all trades interested in the | metal industry of this city, nearly numbering 200 mechanics and about the same number ot helpers and apprentices. The council has In- augurated such a perfect system of registration that each individual can within two hours’ time | be brought to our headquarters. Notwithstand- | ing stztements made to the contrary, we can | unhesitatingly assert and are prepared to prove | that there have been mo desertions from our | ranks. These trades realizing that those in- terests are mutual have banded themselves to- gether under one head, known as the San Francisco Iron Trades Council. The council is fully advised of the fact that men not mechanics are being brought to this city to work in the various shops, and also knows that these men are not mechanics, but laborers and farm hands from the small towns throughout the State. Mechanis are very hard to get at present; no one knows that bet- ter than the employers themselves. We are not worrying about that so long as our own men remain true to their organization. Many of these new importations, some of whom are Dast the prime of life, have taken jobs In the various ehops, with the understanding that they be given an opportunity to learn a trade. Some of the employers are under the impres- sion that we demand the signing of an agree- | ment. This is false, as we have repeatedly stated. All we ask fo~ is a nine-hour day with the same remuneration as we received for the ten hours, and overtime substantially the same as_before. Reports_continuously coming to our head- quarters from Eastern cities to the effect that settlements are being made whereby the firms have concluded to do business as above stated show that the shorter day has come to stay and 1t cannot be stopped, the introduction of labor-saving machines necessitating ft. A | majority of the proprietors of the shops desire jt, but want it not known to the general pub- lic that the nine-hour day has been recognized in Great. Britaln for the past generation. In Australia and New Zealand the elght-hour day ie in vogue throughout all branches of in- dustry. ‘The representatives of the Iron Trades Coun- cil are ready and willing to meet the repre- sentatives of the Metal Manufacturers' Asso- ciation In conference to make some arrange- ment whereby the differences now existing be- tween the men afd the firms would be ad- Justed to the satisfaction 2{ all concerned.

F. Burrill, head of the Greeek department when the receivership troubles occurred. Prefessor Burrill was asked for a contri- the request of Carl Hoffman, one of the , handed him a little later the man- fig‘ctg;!t of the “Demons of the Gold Flelds,” remarking, “That's pretty near the inside situation.” The story opens with a scene in the cabin of a Nome-bound ocean steamer crowded with prospectors. At a table, apart from the crowd, three men are si ting—“McKinney,” his attorney, “Boyes and “Dufrasne,” a Nome miner, who is displaying a big nugget from his rich claim. So-far he had kept his own coun- sel about his property, but now he is get- ting_talkative. He is finally asked the number of his claim. The tale runs: “Number 10 on Dexter,” answered Dufrasne, whose tongue had been limbered with liquor at the other's expense. ‘That's nothing," went on Dufraene volubly. “I can %o out on my clalm every morning before breakfast and pizk up a whole basketfull of nusgets llke that.”" “But what are you fellers going to do?’ he continued. ‘‘What are all these people on this boat golng to do? Think there's anything left for them? “Oh, we shall do a thing or two ourselves,” replied McKinney, laughing. ‘‘What was the Nome Consolidated Mining Company organized in New York for; and what is the Nome Court for. eh, Boyes? “Hush, McKinney,”” whispered Boyes, warn- ingly, for his tongue also was getting a bit limber. Dufrasne burst into a guffaw. ‘‘You duffers make me laugh. Think we fellers who were the first at the crib left anything for you? Not if we know it.” ““Perhaps you don't Not deigning to hotice this remark, with a swaggering air, pocketed the nugget and staggered out of the room. McKinney took out his pockethook and made retorted McKinney, Du- o mercrandum. ‘‘That's a pretty good claim to be receiver of? What do you think, Boyes?"’ Scene Shifts to Nome. The next step of the conspiracy is de- picted in a scene between Boyes and one of his henchmen at Nome. The lawyer is seated in his office poring over a map on the table. The story goes on: Near his hand upon the table lay an open memorandum book. In it were recorded all the claims known to be valuable throughout the entire district, with the names of the owners AT THE THEATERS. Columbla Theater, beginning with this evening and continuing for the remainder of the week, Henry Miller and his company will appear in a strong dou- ble bill, composed of *‘Gudgeons” and the one-act play, eric Lemaitre.” “Gudgeons” is a decldedly clever work, in which Miller is given many opportuni- ties to shine in the role of the smooth swindler, James Ffolliott Treherne. Next Monday night Miller will stage for the first time anywhere his new romantic play, “‘Darcy of the Guards.” The play is from the pen of Louls Evan Shipman ang its four actd tell a very effective and charming love story.

PR Another worthy bill of the week is the “La Tosca” production at the Grand Opera-house, with Melbourne MacDowell as Scarpia and Florence Stone as Florica Tosca. Both actor and aetress have achieved a marked measure of success in their respective roles, and are well sup- ported by the members of the stock com- pany.

Presently another man came in. ‘Well Bill, did you stake that claim in Snow Gulch?” inquired the lawyer. “‘Yes, that will make a good conte: The writing on the old stakes could scarcely be read, 50 I removed them.”” ““Well. here is another you must visit to-day. It §s number 10 on Dexter." “I'm afraid we ‘can’t handle that. Du- frasne's is one of the best established claims in the district,” said the man. “‘Oh, never mind that; the Judge is with us. What are we here for if we can’t make bu ness for the court and incldentally for our- selves?” “Tt will have to be taken before the Judge lay, as they begin work there to-morrow,’” replied the others. The next morning the Nome Gold Digger contained an annovncement with this purport: “'General New Contests Filed With the Court —The Rich Number 10 on Dexter Jumped— Dufrasne’s Alleged Fallure to Comply With the Law—McKenney Appointed Receiver by the Court.” o o o dozen miners have just made the daily clean-up. On one of the sluice boxes sits a gold pan half filled with dull yellow grains and nuggets, some as large as an al- mond. A Deputy Sheriff with a squad of soldiers appronches. He reads a document to the fore- man, which proves to be an order of court commanding that the proceeds of the claim shall be delivered into the custody of the re- cefvers pending the determination of the title. Then the deputy takes the pan of gold and with his guard of soldiers departs. The last chapter describes the arrest of | McKinney. The conspirators are storm- | bound, waiting in feverish anxiety for an | opportunity to escape with their spoils from Nome. This is the way it is told: “We shall not get away to-morrow,” said the lawyer. *‘Our launch was thrown ashore ¢arly this afternoon.” “'Well,”” said McKinney,” anxlously, “‘the St. Paul had to put to sea as soon as she ar- rived, 1If the Marshal s on board he can't T ow much dust has to be got aboard?” in- quired the lawyer. “‘About two hundred and fifty thousan Just then the men were startled by a knock.

Professor Burrill said of the story: “While I changed the circumstances of the story to fit it for publication, it is sub- stantially correct. I was on the ground at the time and had friends who knew the inside workings of the crookedness going on in high places. It was a matter of common knowledge there. The fact is that no rights were respected in Nome that vear. The characters in my story Jtue pat the only organized gang of rob- ers. . “These fellows had scouts out all the time, reporting. every valuable claim. If the claim was merely staked out secret connivance with the court was all that was necessary to jump it. Where the owners were in actual possession the re- ceivership game was resorted to. In these cases some trumped up legal tech- nicality was invoked and complaint lodged under it; then the court appointed one of the sharpers as receiver of the mine until the case could be adjudicated. “The people here only know of one of the gangs of conspirators because of the court's action. There were others at work. My story was written as a contri- bution to the Aegis because I believed it woulld be of interest to the students who knew I had been at Nome and was fa- miliar with the conditions there.” This year's Aegis is an advance over its predecessors. The book is adorned with art work by professional and student tal- ent and profusely illustrated with half- tone reproductions of protraits and snap- shots.

C., June 5.—Decidedly the most surprising outcropping of the Senatorial row was the unexpected letter from Governor McSweeney to Senmator Tillman to-day. The Governor declares to Tillman that if he wants to resigns his withdrawal from the Senate will be im- medlately accepted. The letter reads: Sir—Your letter of June 1 has been received. I have carefully noted its contents and the most charitable view which I can take of it is that it was written in the heat of passion and without due consideration. I note that you say that Ighave ‘transcended my author- ity” and thdt “a Governor cannot compel a member of the United States Senate to hold his | office and exercise the functions of that office if he chooses to surrender it” and that you de- cline for the present to withdraw your resig- | nation. Had you read carefully my letter addressed to | you and to Senator McLaurin you must have | seen that I did not express any desire to com- | pel any member of the United States Senate to hold his commission and exercise the func- tions of that office If he choose to surrender it. My sole purpose in returning the resignation | was to ask you gentlemen to consider calmly | | ,and thoughtfully the consequences to the peo- Ple of what I judged to be a hasty act and what you admit to have been a hasty act, and | 1 must confess that I am somewhat surprised | 8t the tone of your answer to my request. I| considered the course which I took in this | matter to be for the best interest of the peo ple of South Carolina and I am responsible to | them alone for my action, and furthermore I still belleve that my course has met the ap- | of a majority of the citizens of the and responsibilities of citizenship, and who doT not need the services of any one to tell them their duty. Yeur insinuation that I have been “‘impor- tuned” to “‘await the convenience'’ of any pres- | ent or would-be aspirants ‘“who are not ready just yet for various reasons to enter the con- test brought on so unexpectedly,”” and that for this reason my action has taken the direction | it has, is unworthy of a man holding the high | commission_which_has been given you by the | people of South Carolina, and deserves no | notice In this connection. 'However, I may say | for your benefit that I alone am responsible for | my reply, and will give account for the courss I have taken to the people who have honored me, and not to any one individual, In this mat- ter I have done what I thought best calculated to promote the progerity and contentment of | the people of my Stats, and shall continue to | do so, regardless of what any one man may | say or think of my course. 1 did not think that a political campalgn this | summer could do any good, and acted according | to my bellef. However, had the resignations been unconditional and unrestricted, my action might have been otherwise. With due respect for your opinion, I think I have as high a con- ception of the office of Senator and its powers | as you or any other citizen of this State, and you must have known that the brief interview to which you refer meant that I would stmply meet the responsibility and perform my duties under the conditions. If you still wish to re- sign your commission and will send to this of- fice an unconditional resignation, I will exer- clse the authority and power vested in me by the people, Respectfully. etc.. M. B. McSWEENEY, Governor. Sepator Tillman, protesting against the Governor’s right to reject the Senatorial resignations, to-night withdrew his resig- vation. In his letter to Governor Mc- Sweeney Senator Tillman sald: T have Senator McLeurin's communication, in which he graciously consents, at your request, to hold on to his commission as United States Senator, and continue ta serve the State as he has done in the past, to the best of his ability. This leaves me one of three alternatives—to ap- | peal to the Democratic Executive Committee to take the matter up and determine what the best interests of the party require to be done; | to appeal to the Senate itself to determine whether a resignation from that body to take | effect at some future time is binding, or to | withdraw my own resignation. My chief re- gret is that T am forced by your action to engage in what the outside world will consider a game of opera bouffe, by withdrawing from the combined resignation after Senator Me- Laurin's undignified and puerile action; but the purpose for which it was tendered has been thwarted by Senator McLaurin's precipitous acceptance of executive advice. Bob Acres has been outdone for once. I have already said I had no motive or purpose in resigning except to force McLaurin's resignation, and there is nothing for me to do but to accept the sit- uation and withdraw my own resignation, If it be lawful for me to do so.

Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, June 5.+Chile is ais- tinctly the victor in the discussion which has ariser over the question of scope of application ‘of the principle of arbitration to be considercd by the coming Pan- American congress. . The administration has virtually decided not to agree to any suggestion put forward by Peru or her allies removing the limitation placed by the executive committee of the Bureau of American Republics on the subject of arbitration. That principle, under the de- cision of the committee, can only apply to future questions. Furthermore, even if Peru and Bolivia do decline to partici- fote. the congress will be held without them. It is the earnest' wish of the President that all republics shall be represented at the congress. It has been pointed out to Peru that it was distinctly to her inter- est to take part, and that to stay away would be to deprive her of the sympathy which many of her sister States have ex- tended to her. While the United States would like to see an early settlement of the Tacna-Arica controversy, it cannot take sides and it cannot afford to permit the question to be dragged into the con- ress and perhaps wreck the meeting. g’he original notification to the republics of the prc{gosal to hold the congress, made by W. W. Rockhill as director of the Bureau of American Republies, an- nounced the submission of a tentative P amme _and by resolution of the Pan- American diplomatic corps in Washing- ton, he added that the bureau would be glad to receive suggestions contemplating modifications.
