OKLAHOMA ALSO TO COME IN. Quay's Proposition, Made in Con ferences With Senate Leaders, Gives Him New Strength Results are Expected REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Washington. Feb 3 -A compromise "-ay result in the smashing of the statehood deadlock and the resumption by the- Semte of lis position as a legislative body. 9n ator Quay's threat to make the statebojd bill an amendment to the army appropria tion bill had a tendency" f bring the two . warring ffactionsslogether- .' Practically a treaty has been agreed ta ty Quay on one side and leaders -of, the "Senate oppbsed to hint 6n IBe" 'bluer f6r Hi: admission of two new States instead of three. Oklahoma will be one of these. Ari zona and, New Mexico will be the other. Thn 5M agreement came when the situation in 'he Senate began to be heard from. A gereral comprcmlsi understanding ex ists as the result of yesterday'B private dis cussions, to which Mr. Quay was j. plrty. The Democrats of the Senate, according to assurances frcm spme cf tbe'r earnest state hood advocates, will net fl.ltuster against xhe programme, which, as to its detaUs, is ' not yet fully worked out. MAY BE NAMED "ARIZONA." Probably the new State, made from Ari zona and New Mexico, will be named Ari zona, as that is regarded as the more eu phonious and de'lrabie name, whereas there has been considerable objection to having another State the first part of Its name be ing "New." That will be pleasing to the present Territory of Arizona. The plan Is to put the capital at Santa Te, which would be a concession to New Mexico, of which Santa Fe It the present Territorial CXpltal. There is reason to be liev e that a bill embods ing this Idea has al ready been drawn, teady for the contem plated compromise, and 'that It may also have"" a provision. It It can be agreed on, allowing the new State to be divided, and the pre'ent area comprised in the Territory cf Arizona to become a separate State when It has a population of 330,000 people. OKLAHOMA PROJECT. While nothing of a very authoritative character can be said about some of the minor arrangements. It is understood that some plan Is projected as to Oklahoma, whereby Indian Territory will eventually be added as a part of it. In the parleys about a compromise, it is known that the idea of adding the whole of Indian Territory to the new State of Oklahoma In 1307 has been earnestly pressed. Senator Quay vesterday gae notice In the meeting of the Agricultural Committee that he might have some modification to make In his proposed amendment to the v agricultural appropriation bilk The com- rM t mittee, therefore, postponed further consld- "-n .ration of the amendment till a meeting next Friday. This i4 lnterpretated as an estimation that an effort may bo made to complete the details of the compromise by that date or soon thereafter. QUAY'S STRENGTH. An Interesting development, which demon strates the accessions to MR Quay's Strength on the Republican side. Is found in the fact that Senator Proctur, chairman of the Agricultural Committee feels kindly toward the omnibus bill, although he voted against it in the Agricultural Committee. The Senate leaders expect that all the treaties will be ratified. Senator Morgan ! expected to speak at much length about the canal treaty, but with Statehood out of the way, or ecn prospectively so, the Senate can yet afford to give time for whatever debate Mr. Morgan proposes. . Evidences Increase that considerable da bate is necessary before a vote can bo had on the Cuban treaty, but the appropriation bills, with two or three exceptions, are net likely to provoke long debate, and thus a large portion of the remaining weeks of the session can be gicn to executive sessions. If found necessary. TORNADO NEAR DALLAS, TEX. Four Persons Injured ju Wreck of School Building. REPUBLIC SPECIAL. Dallas, Tex., Feb. 3.

MISSOURI PACIFIC OFFER IS REJECTED Trainmen and Conductors Unani mously Decline to Accept Ten-4Fer.-Cent Increase Offered. SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS. ! Railroad Officials Claim That It Is Impossible to Grant Terms Demanded, Because of Heavy Expenses. By a unanimous vote the 2 000 trainman and conductors of the Missouri Pacific sys tern hae rejected the 10 per cent wage in crease offered, and In effect vested in the leaders of the orders in St, Louis the au thority to declare a strike if better terms cannot be made. The "better tertns" are Bald to be the 20-per-cent Increase originally demanded, and the leaders now In the city are emphatic In the statement that they will be satisfied with nothing lss. On the other hand, the railroad officials state that It Is absolutely impossible to grant an Increase of that proportion and the demands of the men are unreasonable Further conferences will be held between Messrs. Garretson and Morrissey with the officials of tho Missouri Pacific and M K. & T., in hopes of arrhlng, if possible, at some agreement by which a strike can be a olded. While the exact terms of Increase offered by the' Frisco and Colton Belt Ime not been gicn out. It Is said that they" are not more than 10 pel cent, and In such case, to quote a number of the committee of the trainmen and conductors, the result of the vote to reject It can tfe anticipated. In case there should b a strike its effect at the present time would be disastrous for the shippers and the public nt large. The roads In the Southwest have. It is claimed, more freight than thsy can con veniently handle with their present !are forces, and it 1.SC0 men leave the Frisco, 2.000 quit the Missouri Pacific and 830 strike on the M K. &. T, and about COO on the Cotton Belt, it will work a severe hardship on the Southwestern shippers, storekeep ers and grain men. The officers of the railroads, admitting that their lines hao made handsome porf lts, also claim to show that the expendi tures which will be made this year for ex tension and lmproements will practically wipe out the profits. It is also stated that any Increase granted the trainsien and conductors miist come out of the appropria tion for improvements. In audition to this, it is predicted by the railroad officials that wase-Increase de mands are liable to be made upon them by their cmploes in other departments, and even were they able to meet the demands of the trainmen and conductors, it is impos sible In Juticc to this possible demand from the others. The consensus of opinion on both sides is that the situation has grown from com parative insignificance injo one of consid erable magnitude and importance. At the same time, both the railroad offi cials and the labor leaders) claim that there Is still a possibility of averting a strike, though the union men claim that it can only be done on the basis of a 20-per-cent increase, which, ss has been stated, rail road men claim is out of the question. The conceson granted for extra crews on double-headed trains Is said to have been granted by most of the roads, though this cannot be verified.

I REPyBLIC SPECIAL. Sedalia. Mo. Feb. 3. Dan Kane, the ex Mlssourl Pacific brakeman and convict who escaped from the Mlsfouri Penitentiary on the morning of January 31, was captur?d here to-night after two desperate struggles, the first one this morning, from which he escaped, the Second one at 7.30 this evening, when, he waserpowered. Kane arrived here at 1 o'clock this morn ing on a Missouri Pacific train and went to his former boarding-house on Engineer street. He awoke Frank Hill, son of the land lady; and demanded something to eaL Food was set before him", and while he was en Joying his meal he gava the details of his escape from prison, g.ving his wife tho credit of providing means Jfor his escape. DRAGNET SPREAD. After he had gone away from the boarding-house the police were immediately no tified of Kane's presence In the city, and a dragnet was spread to catch him. Toung Hill and Policeman Roberison found thfe escaped com let in the power Vinusp nf the Electric Railway and Light rCoropany On Broadway. When Kane saw he was cornered, he made a dash lor a door, but wasj Intercepted. Then ha, made the Bght cf his life In the melee all three were on the floor In a bunch, but Kane sprang to his fee: first and dashed throuzh the door and Into the darknes. Polceman Robertson fired three shots aft er the fleeing convict but the bullets went wide of the mark. Spurred on by the re ward of 1300 offered by Governor Dockery for Kane's capture, the entire police force, the Sheriff's deputies anl the constabulary hae been looking all day for Kane, and believe that he has no chance to escape from this city. ASKED FOR PROTECTION. After Kane had boldly entered the engine-room of the electric light plant, be made a confidant of James Harper, the lr--man. He told Harper who he was and Im plored the fireman to do him a special f a or. "I want you to write to my wife in Jef ferson City and tell her to come to Sedalia and stay here Until she hears from me, tell her that I will not.be caught and that I am prepared to sell my life dearlj." Harper left the engine-room at the first opportunity and telephoned for the police. Policeman Robertson and joung Hill re sponded. Tl'e policeman approached the convict from the rear, while HIU blocked the only other exit of the engine-room. Harper nodded to the policeman nnd Kane caught the meaning of the motion and saw he was penned In. Hill was ten feet from him. CONFUSION OF BLOWS. The convict measured the dltln"e ond leaped for the door, at the same time Rob ertson closed in on Kane from behind and just as Hill dedvered a blow for Kane's Jaw. The latter dodged and Hill's fist smashed Into Robertson and he went down. Kane let his rlgnt go and HIU topmed over just as Robertson regained his feet and grap pled with the desperate man. Both fell acres Hill, but Kane was quick to get out of Robertson's grasp, and plunged outside the building and made his escape for the time being. Kane remained in hiding throughout the day In the southwestern suburbs of the city. He was drencheJ to the skin by the heavy rain which fell all day. FINALLY CAPTURED. About 7:30 to-night he went to the engine and boiler rooms oi the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway shops and asked per mission of James Walker, the fireman, to warm .himself by the fires He was referred to R. W. Barnett, the night watchman. Barnett, an old, experi enced police officer, at once recognized Kane, "and attempted to arrest him, and a terrible struggle followed. Barnett is a big, powerful man, past middle-age, while Kane Is slim and weighs only 117 pounds. During the struggle for the mastery, Bar nett pinioned Kane's arms against his body and held him 'While Fireman Walker bound the convict hand and foot with a rope.

Men Declare They Made No De mands Upon Company, but Ex press Willingness to Com ply With Terms. Treating with an organization known as the Missouri State Street Railway Em ploy es Union, the St. Louis Transit Com pany has proposed a new scale of wages, to be In effect for a period of five years, which provides a gradual advance of three cents an hour for the labor of street-car con ductors and motormen. The firt Increase Is promised on May 1; the second on January 1 and the last at the expiration of the World's Fair period, each increase amounting to 1 cent an hour. The terms required of the union are that the men shtll for a period of five years agree to leave all grievances to a board of arbitration, and abide by Its decision, thus avoiding the possibility of a strike while tile World's Fair Is In progress, a time when the capacity of the company will be severely taxed. The officers, of the union, which was or ganized last September, and was incorpor ated on October 1G following, are: A. L. ' Davis, president; James Justice, vice pres 1 Ident; C. C. Miller, treasurer: E. H. Meyers, secretary. So far the membership of the ; union is confined to the employes of the ' Transit Company, but its charter pro tvldes that any street railway employe may 1 become a member. All of the offlcera are i in the employ of the Transit. Interviews with conductors, and motor men on the Transit lines indicates that petitions solcltlng membership have bein In circulation at the several division oolnts. Many of them have slgnd, but others have not, .No opposition Is manifested to the offer of the company for an Increase of wages. The men seem glad that it has; been pro posed and express a willingness to accept I the terms. The men feel grateful toward A Ice Pres ident and General Manager duPont and General Superintendent Grant, whom they credit with having been responsible for the company granting the Increase, and the feeling between the company and the men is most cordial. The men claim they made no demand on the company, eliher directly or Indirectly, for an Increase In wage", and the matter, a a result, has been the general topic of dis cussion at the various csr sheds ever since the announcement was made. It is estimated that there are at the pres ent time about 3.500 men employed on the various cars of the Transit Company, and the proposed Increase of 'wages will mean an increase in the annual pay roi; of the company of approximately 3127,000 for the first raise alone. The second Increase will double the first, and the third will be three times that amount. Some of the men say that, while the vol untary raise looks like a generous move on the part of the company, the Increase is nothing compared with that given the Chicago street-car men during the World's Fair In that city, and many of them are opposed to the men binding themselves by any such agreement. "Why." said ore conductor last night, 'it is only a move on the part of the company to bind us to an agreement extending over the Exposition period, so that we will have to take our medcllne and make no demand or even expect more money during the busy times attending the World's Fair. "There has been much talk among the Ken about forming a union in order to protect tho men during .the Fair, and I understand there were papers circulated among the men to-aay asking them to sign the papers fr the organization of a union. The men are not doing this work In secret. The company knows it, and the men have been. given to understand that they have the privilege of coining it or doing as they please. It makes no difference to the com pany. I don't know how' many men have agreed to join the union, but I'lmow I will not." There was not as much enthusiasm dis played among the men who were seen last night as one might expect to have found, as even the proposed Increase Is not con sidered any too much money for the Work, and especially, they claim, will this be true during the Talr rusTT. RAIN, SLEET, HAIL AND SNOW' HEAVY IN SEVERAL STATES. Small Streams Sent put of Their Banks, While Telegraph Poles Are Broken by Weight of tee. Telegrams received by The Republic last night showed that a severe storm of rain, hall and sleet, turning in tome places Into snow, and accompanied by thunder, raged over the greater part of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Considerable damase was done through North Missouri by ice forming on telegraph and telephone poles, and on shade and fruit trees. At several points the rains were so heavy that streams overflowed.

JBRSET POLICE CHIEF. RECOGNIZES PICTURE. Barton's career would seem a marvellous one, even In the records of criminal ro mance. It was completely exposed when Chief or police Murphy or Jersey City to night recognhred the photograph "of the SL Louis prisoner, which appeared in The Re public yesterday, a none other than the notorious Burgoyne. who served nine years' imprisonment In England, and later Inter ested the police of no less than Ave Ameri can Stat's New Tork, New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Onto and Missouri.

Jersey City, with wheat Burgoyne boarded before he duped his Phil adelphia bride last December. They recog nized him Instantly in the portrait taken by the St. Loui police for the rogues' gallery. George Barton, though of humble origin, was uncommonly well educated. 'While yet a young- man he bad mastered Latin and Greek, could converse In French, Span ish or German, and as the result of a trip 1 to India, where he passed some years', he acquired a partial knowledge also of Hln- doostanee. With travel and much natural adaptability he easily learned to assume the veneer of an aristocrat. His manners were good, he bad fine teeth, handsome, though shifty, blue eyes, and a good figure, though some what stooped at the shoulders for a British guardsman. POSED AS" LORD AND 1 WON, BROOKLTN MAID. These were his valuable assets when he came to Brooklyn about fifteen years ago, and won the heart of Cc!ctine Elizabeth Miller, Whose present home Is at No. 1208 Fulton street. Brooklyn.

He took her to -iCngland. where he had promised to present her to his rich and aristocratic rel atives. There she was speecUly undeceived. Her husband was arrested for embezzle ment and sentenced to nine years' penal servitude under the name of Barton. When Barton- married Miss Miller, in March, 1S8L she lived with her mother and ' sister at No. 291 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn. After taking her to London he robbed her of all her fortune, and she was left penni less In Tulbridre Wells, England. Barton has been criminal from boyhood.
