The Greatest Confederation
Ever
Organized.
Proceedings of a Monster Meeting
at Indianapolis, Yesterday, of
Highest Significance.
Indianapolis, Ind., May 25. Ono of
tlic most notable meetings tho railway
companies ever held in this city con
vened this afternoon. For some time
past the question of federating the vari
ous orders of tho railway service has
been agitated, and today's meeting
looked to tho accomplishment of that
object.
Fully five hundred delegates were
pro-sent from Illiiiois,Ohio,rCentuekynnd
Michigan, representing the following
orders: Brotherhood of Locomotive
F.ngineeers, llrotherhood of Locomotive
Fireman, Order of Conductors, Switch
man Mutual Aid Association and Brother
hood railroad trainmen. Tho meeting
was called to order by Win. Hugo, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
Colonel J. B. Maynard, of this city,
addressed tho meeting. He said that
much had already been done by the
orders acting separately, but what
did ono organization amount
to in conflict with corpora
tions? It had been demonstrated
that ono organization could easily be
defeated in the contest with capital, but
capital could not triumph in a contest
with such a federation as was now pro
posed. Past Grand Master Itobinson, founder
of the Brotherhood of Engineers, said
the leneficial results of organ
ized and disciplined action were
no longer matters of specula
tion; they were demonstrated truths.
On the great railroad lines of this coun
try, said Mr. Hobinion, is seen the most
colossal aggregation of wealth that
would ever be seen. Though occasionally
appearing as rivals they are constantly
pooling their interests in matters of
rates, and there is every reason to be
lieve that they also jiool their influence
and power in a prolonged conflict with
labor. It is against these gigantic
forces, with well known tendencies to
imperious dictation and harmful
measures, that the Brotherhood of Rail
way Employes now find themselves
called to fortify. Then Mr. Hobinson
said that the only right course lay in
federation; that would stop trouble
with employes, because it would
lead to the arbitration of all disputes
and strikes would lnjcome a matter of
history. Arbitration had grown
until a bill had lieen in
troduced in the Senate by a tool of
the railways, a bill so cunningly
devised that should it become a law it
must render nugatory tho patient ellbrts
of many years to letter our condition."
He thought the railroads' next trick
would be to try to federate with the em
ployees. T. K. Wilkinson, Grand Master of
Train Men, was happy to state that the
order of Conductors had gone down.
All railroad men were beginning to un
derstand they must in tho end acting
alone.
Frank Sweeney, President of
the Switchmen's Mutual Aid
Society; Geo. W. Howard, Grand
Chief of the Brotherhood of Con
ductors nnd John. I. Hannan, Vice Grand
.Master fireman also urged federation
Tonight a voto was taken, resulting in
the unanimous adoption of the scheme,
and a final adjournment was taken.
The action of the convention is not
final, as it must be ratified by tho Broth
erhood of Engineers at their meeting in
the fall.
AGAIKhT ri:i)i:i(ATION.
New Haven, Conn., May 25. A mass
meeting of the Brotherhood of Engineers
to-day was addressed by Chief Arthur,
who simke against federation with other
branches of railway employes.
'Our policy has teen," he said, "in
plain English, to 'mind your own busi
ness.' "
When the Brotherhood federates it
will forfeit tho respect, not only of the
public at large, but of the employers.
Chauncey M. Depcw also spoke, lie
said : "Th'e question between capital
and labor has lieen better settled by
tho Brotherhood than any other
organization in tho country and
Labor has come to the protection of cap
ital against demagogues. He cordially
coincided with Chief Arthur's remarks
uhout the policy of the Brotherhood, be
ing in opposion to strikes.
STANLEY STEAKS.
He, Scorn Lord Salisbury nml Warms Up
tho English.
London, May, 25. The Timet prints
a long and caustic letter from Stanley in
reply to the recent utterance of Lord
Salisbury.
Mr. Stanley declares boldly that if tho
German colonial demands bo granted, it
would Ihj inoro economical to make Ger
many a gift of tho whole of the Uritish
tphere.
The British investors might obtain
shillings for their pounds that they have
been credulously victimized out of.
In conclusion he declares that the Ger
man sphere is the finest in Africa and
adds: "Still, their cry is 'give, give.'
If you think that they are better
adapted than tho English to civilize
Africa, do nothing half-heartedly, but
yield all, including Egypt. You shall
not hear any protest from me."

Chlhl.
Fall Uivku, Mass., May 25. A ter
rible accident occurred on Wakuppa
Lako Saturday. Seven men nnd
women, and a number of children, went
out rowing in a flat-bottom boat, the
seating capacity of which was
only eight persons. There was a
strong wind blowing, and the
water was rough. In a short
time the party was observed to be trying
to work their way towiud the shore.
Just north of tho pumping station,
when tho boat was within twenty feet
of the shore, one of the children began
rocking it and without a moment's warn
ing the craft cap-dzed. Two men at -.he
pumping station were the only persons
in sight, and they could do nothing.
Mr. Turner was the only one of
the unfortunate party who could
swim. Ho succeeded fn bring
ing ono man nshore, nnd four
others of the party managed to re.ich
land in an exhausted condition. Tho
people on the shore cried to the others
to cling to tho lwat, but their failing
strength was unequal to the task and
they sank before aid could he procuied.
The following is a list of tho drowned:

THE WOMAN Dill IT.
Antonio I'oster liaises tho Sniuit Old
I-liiliit.
Antonio Foster, late of the Needles,
is in trouble and in jail.
At least he is in jail if he has not yet
succeeded in giving bail and ho raises
the cry as old as Adam, that "the wo
man did it."
Foster, it seems, during the building
of the cantilever bridge across the Colo
rado, opened a groggery at Bed Rock
where he literally coined money, selling
liquor to the men at work on that struc
ture. After the completion of the bridge
trade suffered a material decline, and
Foster moved his stock to a point about
a mile and a half alwve Fort Mohave
where, as ho claims, he believed him
self to le outsldo the limits of the reser
vation. Here he reopened his groggery,
and it was observed at once that there
was an alarming increase of drunken
ness among the Indians about the post.
Foster denied that he sold them liquor,
but Captain Bowman, Commandant at
tho jiost, thought differently and, as
Foster was clearly upon the reservation,
sent a squad of soldiers who broke open
the saloon, destroyed tho outfit and
spilled the liquor upon the ground.
"I could have wept to see such
waste," Foster moaned, "when I re
flected how much I could have made by
selling the liquor."
lie did not stay to weep. He went
away from there, and after nlxnit two
days' very close pursuit, he was cap
tured by United States Marshal Browne,
who took him to Prescott upon a charge
of selling liquor to Indians.
And now Foster says that nil his
troubles are duo to the machination of
a woman who is persecuting him. Poor
Foster.

Sacramento Furnishes the

The Ship Oneida Wrecked
In Alaska.
A Series of Lawless Acts Committed
In Sim Francisco Yesterday
Charged to Union Labor.
Sacramento, May 25. About 10
o'clock this forenoon, Police Officer Far
rell found a man lying on tho levee suf
fering from the effects of two bullet
wounds, one in the head and the other
in the stomach. Tho wounded man
gave the name of Edward Goodwin.agcd
52, and said he was a native of New
York. Being informed that the wounds
would doubtless prove fatal and that he
had better give the address of his rela
tives he refused to do so. When
pressed he said : "It will lxs letter that
they know nothing about this affair."
He informed the chief of police that
he came to Sacramento on Saturday
from San Francisco, and that a German
or Swede whom he licensed of steal
ing his blankets first threw
red pepper into his eyes
and then shot him. Goodwin died at
three o'clock this afternoon nnd the man
who did the shooting escaped. The
Chief of Police does not believe the story
told by Goodwin. He thinks that the
dead man was the companion of the per
son who killed him, that the two had
probably been associated in some dis
reputable business and had finally quar
reled, and that their associations were
of such a nature that Goodwin did not
dare to reveal them.

SERVES HOI .RIGHT.
KKANCISCO QUEJADO DID NOT I.IKE
HIS HICEAKI'AST.
And He Proceeds to Convlncellls Wife of
tho fact Marshal IIIiiuki-HKlilp Takes a
llnud.
Francisco Quejndo did not like his
breakfast yestetday morning.
Francisco is an American citizen of
Spanish descent, and he lives with his
family in a shnnty on Jackson street le
twecn Pima and Maricopa. He is not
exactly happy in his domestic relations,
a fact that seems to be due in a very
large measure to his own temper nnd to
the muscular methods that he adopts in
convincing his wife that she is in the
wrong in their little emuetes.
Francisco's methods of argument con
sists in the useof his fists, clubs, hnm
mers or whatever else chances to come
handy ujion the person of Mrs. Quejado.
who is expected to lear this sort of
thing with angelic meekness and, when
her lord tires, to request him to please
continue his sport.
However, Mrs. Quejado is a woman
and human not an angel nnd, when
Francisco objected to his breakfast yes
terday morning and began buffeting
her, escaped from him nnd ran away
after his fists had left some very un
sightly marks ujon her person. Fran
cisco was not to bo balked of his prey
and, as his wife outran him, heaved a
rock after her and then started for a
blacksmith shop close by to procure a
hummer with which to complete the job
of finishing the woman's earthlv career.
Several neighlwirs had been observing
the domestic battle for some little time,
and seeingthnt matters were growing se
rious, some of the spectators ran for Mar
shal Blankcuship. who lived close by.
Tho Marshal came at once nnd, march
ing rrnncisco on, put linn in tne cooler
to spend tho balnnce of the Sabbath.
Francisco probably will not like his
breakfast this morning any better than
ho did yesterday but he will not be
so demonstrative about showing his
distaste for the food.
HUS1NESS UEVIVAL.
lletter Times In tho .Southern Tier
of
Counties.
"There is a decided business revival
in the southern part of tho Territory,
and particularly in and nlxiut Tucson,"
said I. N. Town, chairman of the Terri
torial Live Stock commission, to a re
porter for Tin: Uepuiii.ican yesterday.
"One of the leading merchants of Tucson
told mo the other day that he had
made larger sales during the past month
than for any similar period during the
year. To "what do I attribute this?
Well, for one thing tho late rise in the
market value of silver has hgd a great
deal to do with it. The owner of every
mine and every little prospect hole in
the Territory feels better as a re
sult of this rise in prices,
and every mining camp has
feft the stimulus with the result of a
reflection of tnia verifying eflect upon
Tucson. Another reason for the good
times now seemingly beginning is the
large shipments of cattle now being
made from the Territory, nnd particu
larly from the vicinity of my little town,
Calabasns.

IN A RUSSIAN PRISON.
A Naturalized American's
Experience.
Released on Emphatic De
mand of Mr. Blaine.
The Russian Jailers Mercilessly Bleed
Their Charges Will Try to
Recover His Money;
New Yokk, May 25. Among the cnbin
passengers on tho Augusta Victoria
from Hamburg was Herman Kcmpinski,
a Russian by birth and a naturalized
American citizen. He was on his way
to his home in Brideport, Conn., after
having spent thirty months in a Russian
prison on a charge of evading military
duty. He was accompanied by his wife
and two little girls, who remained near
him while he was confined in jail. They
had returned to Russia to visit their
parents, and the husband was arrested
without charges.
Kempinski tells- an interesting story
of his experience, and of his wife's
efforts to procure his release. She
first applied to Wurtz, the American
Consu, who promised to intercede for
her husband, but nothing more wns
heard from hiui. A few mouths later a
friend coining to America laid the case
before Secretary Bayard, but the cor
respondence which followed had no re
sult. A friend a few months ago laid
the case before Secretary Blaine.
Mr. Blaine notified Consul Wurtz to
demand the prii-oner's release and fail
ing in this to demand his passports and
leave the country. As soon as this
cable was laid before the Czar he or
dered the prisoner's release. This was
immediately effected and the unfortu
nate man was treated with every con
sideration. He says the Russian jailers
demanded money for everything done,
nnd that his wife expended nearly
$10,000 during Ids imprii-onmcnt. He
will see Secretary Blaine and try to re
cover his monev.

CAN THISJE TRUE?
One Story of the Milti
more TJourt Martial.
He Had an Enemy High in
the Army.
His Friends Believe That the Charge
Against Him Will Be Having-
Overstaid His Leave.
"I do not know for certain," said a
Tucson man to a reporter for The Re
publican, yesterday, "but I think that
I can come pretty near telling you why
Captain A. B. Miltimore is to bo court
martialed. Miltimorc is nn old soldier,
you know, about ready to go ujion the
retired list, and he is likewise an old
resident of Tucson where he is highly
esteemed and where he has very large
property interests. For a long time
Miltimore was Assistant Qnartermaster
at Tucson, having virtual control of
that business in the department
as the Quartermaster is stationed
nt Los Angeles. Some years ago
Miltimore had the misfortune to of
fend an officer high in rank in the
army, and this high officer has been his
sworn foe ever since. In February Inst,
Miltimore was ordered, somewhat unex
pectedly, to New York, and, as he had
large private interests to settle before
leaving TucKin, he at once telegraphed
to friends in Washington to see the Sec
retary of War in his "behalf and secure
for liiiu thirty days leave, in which to
settle up his affairs. His friends per
formed the coinuiiss-ion for him, as re- '
quested, and in due courte Miltimore
received n telegram from the war office,
stating that he would 1)0 granted
thirty days leave, from the date" of his
being relieved. "Mind you, this
was in February. Miltimore's successor
arrived in Tucson in April, and tho
office of assistant quartermaster was
turned over to him about the 15th of
that month. Miltimore construed his
leave, very naturally, to mean that the
thirty days was to begin upon the day
that he turned the bm-iness over to his
successor, and after that had been done
he proceeded to the settlement of his pri
vate affairs, putting matters in shape for
a somewhat extended absence from
Tucson.
"This required nearly all of the thirty
davs allowed him, as he had been un
able to transact very much private busi
ness prior to the introduction of his suc
cessor into office, and it was
not until about the 15th of
May that he finally started
for New York. Now I am firmly of the
opinion and I have some pretty good
grounds for the.opinion, too that the
charges against Miltimore are based
upon the claim that he overstaid his
thirty days leave of absence, and that
the calling of this court martial to try
him finds its initiative in his sworn
enemy, the high officer I nlluded to be
fore. " It is of course possible that there
may l)e other charges although nobody
who knows Miltimore can believe that
he has done anything very seriously
wrong but of course there is no way of
ascertaining at the present time what
those other possible specifications may
be.
"But mark what I tell you, it
is the alleged overstaying of his leave,
which the annv authorities seem to have
meant was to date from the time of the
arrival of Miltimore's successor in Tuc
son, that will le made the principal
ground for the proceedings against him.
"Certainly I lo not take any stock in
the storv that Captain Miltimore has
been guilty of falsifying his accounts."
TOM HAKMON'S 1IOHY FOUND IN
A WELL.
The Story of an Old tuarrel llevl-ed
Possibly This Will Hear Inteetlgntlon
of the Murder,
The Tombstone Prospector tells the
following story which, it is iwssible,
may point to one of the most brutal
murders ever committed in Arizona:
Tom Hannon, who Is well known in Tomb
stone and Cochise count), was found dead in a
well on his ranch In the Chirlcahua mountains
last Monday He had upon his head several
cuts.but whether he received them In falling on
the timbers in his descent, or whether they
were made by a blunt in-trument, the Jury of
Inquest were unable to determine. When Iat
seen alive he was working on his well. This
was n week ago last Saturday morning. He
was not seen afterward until one of
the Klggs' boys saw his oody floating
on the top of the welL He had asked some of
the soldiers from Fort Howie to dine with him
on the same day that he was drowned, but on
going to his place they found no one at home,
and upon going to the well to get a drink, they
saw his hat floating on the surface. They
thought nothing of this and went back. Itiggs
iwssing the place last Monday, found the body
of the missing man and untitled the authorities
at the post, who in turn notified Coroner White
of Bowie and an inquest was held with the re
sult of finding a verdict that the deceased came
to his death by either falling into his well and
striking his head on the tiinliers or being hit
with a blunt Instrument and thrown In by
parties unknown.
Hannon's ranch is aliout three miles from the
fort on the Hear Spring trail. He was well
known throughout Arizona and will be remem
bered as lieing a witness In the cae of the Ter
ritory vs. Barney Higgs, charged with killing
Uiehmond Hudson, which was tried about three
years ago. Hannon and liaiinock had some
words In front of the (). K. Corral, the row was
followed by both pulling six shooters and
cmplvlng their contents at each other without
either getting hit.
