DONNELLY'S PROPOSITION. The proposition made by M. J. Donnelly for the strikers, which led to the conference to-day, contained the following demands “That all employes who struck shall | be employed in their old positions within threc days; that the packers pay the wages prevailing before the = pending arbitration; that the arbitration committee be composed of one member of the packers, one mem- ber of the strikers, the two to select a third (the three arbitrators to be prac- king-house men); that the vard in wages to be made by the arbi- trators shall take effect from the time of resumption of work, but that the) award shall not involve any reduction in wages The representatives of the packers| replied to Donnelly as follows: | In reply to your note and explan- | ation of what you are willing to arbi- | we cannot acquiesce in same. We are willing to arbitrate the whole mat- ter, covering wages and working con- ditions of all employes out on strike, you having the privilege of bringing before the arbitrators for decision any question of wages or conditions or other grievances you may think you have; we to have like privilege, and both to abide by the decision of the arbitrators. We will retain all now at work and will re-employ all the men now out as fast as possible, giving preference in the| order of application, at the wages re- ceived when going on strike, pending the decision of the arbitrators.” The note was signed by Armour & trate, Co., Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, the Na- tional Packing Company, the Cudahy Packing Company and Libby, McNeill & Libby.

Andrulis and the man first arrested were taken by the police to the station, which, in a few minutes, was sur- rounded by a crowd of several hundred men, women and boys. The temper of the crowd was ugly | and for a time it looked as though they would attempt to storm the sta- tion. Calls were sent for reinforce- | ments and in a short time several pa- trol wagons, filled with officers from other stations, came upon the scene. The crowd refused to give way and | the officers were compelled to fight their way through to the station door. A line of officers was at once drawn up in front of the station and after a | short time the crowd dispersed. Another fight occurred at Marshfield | avenue and Forty-fifth street, where a mob attacked a squadron of policemen with bricks. Several officers were slightly hurt and they were compelled to disperse the crowds with their clubs. | Other fights took place during the | evening along Marshfield avenue, but | nobody was seriously hurt. . HOPE STRIKE WILL END. Both Factions in South Omaha Would Welcome a Settiement. OMAHA, Nebr., July 14.—The hope | uppermost in the minds of both pack- ers and strikers to-day was that the negotiations pending in Chicago look- ing to a settlement by arbitration of the strike of the packing-house em- ployes throughout the country would reach a successful conclusion. ‘While some slaughtering was being done at all of the South Omaha pack- ing-houses, it was mostly of stock left in the pens when the strike began. Very little livestock was bought by packers to-day. About 350 men were employed at the four plants, mostly unskilled la- borers and office men. All of the man- agers, however, said that new men would be given employment when ap- plication was made, although no great effort would be made for the present to bring men in from the outside. The strikers conducted themselves in an orderly manner to-day. About 250 pickets were about the entrances to the yards and turned back a few men who sought employment. The strike leaders | to-day, from | plants alone, into our unions. s appointed 100 stewards to maintain or- der within the ranks of the strikers and gave strict orders against violence and drinking to excess. A large number of car repairers, who struck Tuesday in sympathy with the s, were forced by their iion to return to work to-day. d men and others are beginning to feel the result of the strike. Several train crews were laid off to-day. Mer- and small retail dealers also fected. There was no advance in e of meats to-day. oSG KANSAS ITY TS REOPEN. New Men Are Employed and Slaugh-’ tering of Beeves Resumed. KANSAS CITY, July 14.—Four of the six packing plants resumed killing to- day on a limited scale, and the man- agement of each said it will increase its efforts to-morrow. The different plants each hired some new men and they assert that many more will be employed to-merrow. On the other hand, 200 boxmakers, coopers and la- { borers went out to-day, and the union officers say that 1090 men have joined the strikers in the past forty-eight hours. Louis Timmerman, president of the Pork Butchers’ Union in Kansas | aid to-day: | Ci e initiated 300 men yesterday and the Fowler and Armour We are taking in all the unskilled laborers who will consent to join the strike.” There was no show of violence to- | day. The supply of meat on hand has materially decreased since the strike began. b “There is not enough meat in town to make i further,” said C. W. Armour of the Ar- | mour Packing Company to-day. The different plants sold at the reg- ular prices, although many local deal- ers raised the price on pork and fresh beef slightly, LIRS “OPEN SHOP” IN ST. PAUL. Swift Will Engage Men Without Re- gard to Their Afliliations. ST. PAUL, July 14.—Between 100 and 200 men were taken into Swift & Co.’s plant at South St. Paul before daybreak to-day and 550 hogs and 85 cattle, about 15 per cent of an ordi- nary day's killing, were slaughtered. The company is hiring all available men to take the places of the strik- ers. J. D. Bangs, a local representa- tive of the Swifts at South St. Paul, said to-night that all men, union or non-union, who presented themselves for work will be employed without delay.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 14.—The plant of the Cudahy Packing Com- pany will resume killing here to- morrow with 400 workmen, according to a statement made to-night by Man- ager Willlam Watson. Some cattle were bought on the local market to- day, and, with the assistance of some of the company’s clerical force, who have volunteered their services, the plant will be able to take care of them. | | Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San worth while to advance prices | ISENATOR BARD) |PRESIDENT WILL RECEIVE MINE WORKERS' COMMITTEE Brvan, Discussing the St. Louis Platform, Sharply Attacks Head of National Ticket---Democratic Nominee for Congress in Ohio IS GRATIFIED Cordial Greeting by Leading Men of the Metropoli: Is Noteworthy Incident| TALKS WITH PERK ————— Politicians Hold to Belief That Senatorial Prize Be- longs to the Southland United States Senator Thomas R. Bard and Dr. Chester Rowell left San Francisco for Sacramento last evening and will go south to-day. Many well- known citizens called at the Occidental Hotel yesterday 10 pay their respects | to the visiting statesmen. Senators ‘ Perkins and Bard met in friendly con- ! ference yesterday afternoon. The Sen- atorial situation was briefly reviewed in a general way. | There are so many worthy aspirants ! in the field that Senator Perkins is constrained by the fullness of his gen- lorusi\y to give all of them his support. : It is common gossip in political circles ! that the semior United States Senator i will not single out any aspirant for his | special favor and will surely do noth- | ing to impair the political fortunes of his colleague in the Senate, for whom he entertains the highest regard. Senator Bard exoressed himself as delighted over the cordiality of his re- | ception in San Francisco. Among the callers at the Occidental Hotel yester- day were former Lieutenant Governor Jacch H. Neff of Placer County and | W. B. Hamilton, acting Collector of | Customs. ! | Politicians generally incline to the | opinion that the successful candidate for the Senatorial prize will hail from | the south. A Republican leader yester- day sized up the situation in this fash- ion: | “The Republicans of Southern Cali- fornia are entitled by precedent and fairness to name one of the United States Senators from this State. The | success of the Republican party in the last gubernatorial election was due to the loyalty and vigilance of the Repub- lican hosts In the southland. California | was saved from Democratic administra- tion by the zeal of Republicans in Los Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside. As the Governor of the| State, a Cabinet Minister and one of | the United States Senators dwell in | the region north of the Tehachapi | range, the Republicans of the south | should name one of the Senators in | Congress. Strong influences in the north will surely be fnvoked to give the | | south the Senatorship in this cam- | | palgn, as Governor Pardee, Victor H. Metcalf and George C. Perkins are | looking ahead for the Senatorial prize | four years hence and will want a clear field. George A. Knight's boom may | be kept fresh so he can enter the con- | test of 1908 on an equal footing with | | | Orange and | such conspicuous statesmen as Per- | kins, Pardee and Metcalf.” Colonel Taukea and T. B. Lyons, dele- gates to the National Democratic con- vention at St. Louis, arrived here yes- terday on their way home. Colonel| laukea will address the Iroquois Club | this evening on political conditions in the Hawaiian Islands. The Iroquois Club is a red hot Bryan organization and perhaps the speak- ers may find it agreeable to say very little about Judge Parker of Esopus. | The Democratic State Central Com- | mittee has established headquarters in | the California Hotel. Angel Tim Spel- !lacy of Kern County will be here next week. Party leaders are confident that the Democratic organization will be well supnlied with the sinews of war. | They assert that the Democrats will | ville | conference jaway.

Among the letters was one from Richard Olney, dated Boston, July 13, as follows: “You; must allow me to express my great satisfaction that you are to be the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presidential office in the coming election. That the party and the coun- try cannot be too emphatically con- gratulated {s certain, Whether you can fairly be congratulated personally I beg leave to doubt. Your present position is so exalted and so manifestly con- genial to your tastes and is filled with so much dignity that leaving it for politics cannot justly be imputed to anything except patriotic sense of duty.” Henry Watterscn, editor of the Louis- Courler - Journal, sent Judge Parker a lot of clippings from his paper, with a letter in which he con- gratulated the Judge, and concluded as follows: “I shall go into the campaign before us with a greater confidence of victory ! than 1 have ever had before: not even excepting the campaign of 1876.” A new t of letters at hand to-day were those of the parents who have named their born children “Alten,” or or bell, after Judge Parker. Congressman Bourke Cockran of New York, August Belmont and William R. Rodey of the mittee arrived at Esopus to-day and were taken to Rosemount in Judge Parker’s carriage. They came on invi- tation of Judge Parker and did not know what would be the subject of the or how long they would stay. Cockran was asked if he would take the stump for Judge Parker. “It is not necessary to ask that,” he replied. He said ticket with his whole heart. Six carloads of enthusiastic friends of Judge Parker came down on a special train to-night to celebrate the Judge's nomination. Most of those who came were Democrats, but there were not a few old Republican friends of the Judge and the celebration was designed to be non-partisan in char- acter. Headed by the First Regiment band of Kingstcn, the visitors marched to Rosemont and gave Judge Parker a rousing ovation. Replying to an address of congratu- lation from the visitors, Judge Par- ker said: “There are never friends like the old friends. Friendship is not a plant of | rapid growth. For mcre than a quar- ter of a century I have passed you day by day. We met on the streets as we were going about our several duties. We chatted ‘together at the clubs and met one another in social intercourse at our respective houses. We sorrow- ed together when dear friends passed Together we helped one anoth- er on occasions of need. We rejoiced together when some great joy came — win in a majority of the Assembly dis- tricts in San Francisco. The Revoublican State Central Com- mittee is ready to receive contribu- tions. Republican leaders are not over- looking the significant fact that the Democrats will have money to squan- der in this campaign. It has been suggested to General George Stone that initial contributions to the Repub- lican funds should be $5000 each from Bard, Oxnard, Knight and Flint as candidates for the United States Sen- ate, and $3000 extra from George Knight as national committeeman.

And I know very well that they did not tell the whole truth at St. Louis. There is something about those friends whom I have known so well these years that makes it impossible for friend and I know well that in talking to the several delegations there they failed to recollect aught things which pictured their neighbor as they liked him and liked to view him. “I need not say that I am very grate- ful to those men. I did not ask them to gc, but I appreciated the fact that they went. I knew that they would be a force there, as I have learned they proved to be, and I know very well that if a little effort had been made the band could have been very largely increased from among friends and neighbors who would have been only too glad to go. “I am not going to attempt to make a speech, but T want to welcome you to Rosemont.

Delivers Another Roast While Dis- cussing St. Louis Platform. LINCOLN, Neb., Juiy 14.—William | J. Bryan to-day made public the fol- lowing statement relating to the Dem- ocratic platform adopted at St. Louis: | “The plank on imperialism is posi- tive, strong and satisfactory to the entire party and this question becomes ;the paramount issue of this campaign. | “The tariff plank is good, but it was made so on a cloge vote in the com- | mittee and largely against the opposi- | tion of Mr. Parker's adherents. The plank which was voted down favored [ ‘a wise, conservative and business-like" | revision, made ‘with due regard to ex- | isting conditions.” The committee { thought that these qualifying words { emasculated the plank and left it so | weak as to give no hope to the tariff | reformers. “The anti-trust plank is a good one. | It demands the enforcement of the ’crimlnal clause of the criminal law | against the trusts; it demands the abo- ’lhlun of rebates and discriminations | and it demands the withdrawal of the | interstate privileges from trusts when | once convicted. | *“The plank is infinitely superior to | the Republican plank, and with a | President who desired to destroy the trusts would be a sufficient plank; but as this trust plank also was substituted by the full committee there is reason to fear that it may not be in keeping with the ideas of the candidate. “The labor plank is all that could be | desired. It declares against Govern- | ment by injunction; it favors arbitra- jtion and the eight-hour day and de- | nounces the methods that have been | resorted to in the Colorado strike; but | as these planks were added in the full | committee some uncertainty exists as to the candidate’s position. “The platform declares in favor of twenty-six of you went to St. Louis | them to tell the exact truth about a | but those | — into the lives of some of our friends. |the reduction of the army. Upon this “During those years we formed re- | the committee was unanimous. The lations of friendship with one another. | sub-commitee reported a plank in . favor of an increase of the navy, but this was stricken out in the full com- mittee. “The platform has a plank in favor of the enlargement of the scope of the Interstate Commerce Commission and in favor of irrigation. The general clauses of the platform excite no dis- pute and the appeal against the intro- duction of a race issue vught to have weight with the sober thinking Ameri- cans. “Pn the whole the platform is good. From a Western standpoint its great- est defect is that it makes no mention {of the money question. An attempt was made to secure a plank oppos! the melting of the silver dollars, | posing the asset curren y and branch banks and expressing a preference for | the United States note (ordinarily known as the greenback) over the bank note; but, having refused to put in a gold plank, the committee was not willing to have any phase of the money question alluded to. “While the motion to reaffirm the Kansas City platform was voted down, there was a considerable vote in fav | of its reaffirmation and the Western members of the committee, together with a few from the South, stood to- | gether and secured enough changes in the platform to make it a presentable dccument and worthy of the support of the party.” B SR TR MAINE DEMOCRATS MEET. Mayor Davis of Waterville Is Nomi- nated for Governor., WATERVILLE, Me.. July 14.—The Democratic gubernatorial convention was held here to-day. The resolutions affirmed and indorsed the platform adopted by the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, pledged sup- port to its nominees and demanded the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. Cyrus W. Davis, Mayor of Waterville, was nominated for Governor. WILL NOT SUPPORT PARKER. Ohio Democrat Declines a Nomination for Congress. STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, July 14— J. H.
