ARE WILLING
TO ARBITRATE
BOTH STRIKERS AND THE
sides'
Chicago, July 15.—Both sides' are
willing to arbitrate but neither is dis
posed to allow the other to dictate the
conditions under which arbitration will,
be agreed to. This was the condition
at the beginning of the fourth day of
the packing house strike. However, ef
forts to end the strike continued today
and some progress has been made.
Some chief points at issue were dis
posed of and those remaining are not
considered insurmountable.
The principle objection made y th«
union officials to the offer of the pack
ers is the provision that they will give
preference in the order of application
for work. The strike leaders construe
this to mean each man will be obliged
to make individual application for rein
statement.
The proposition made by M. J. D&n
nelly for the strikers, which led to the
conference consists of the foUjowjing
demands:
That all people who struck shall be
employed in their old positions within
three days, that the packers pay wages
prevailing to the strike, pending arbi
tration, that the arbitration board be
composed of one representative each
of the packers and strikers, two to
choose third, that the arbitrators be
practical packing house men that the
award in wages to be made by the ar
bitrators shall take effect from the time
of the resumption in work, but that
the award shall not involve any reduc
tion in wages.
The representatives of the packers
replied to Mr. Donnelly as follows:
"In reply to your note and your ex
planation of what you are willing to
arbitrate, we cannot accept the same.
We are willing to arbitrate the whole
matter covering the wages and work
ing conditions of all employes out on
a strike. You have the privilege of
bringing before the arbitrators for de
cision any question of hours or wages,
or any other grievance you think you
have we to have the privilege to arbi
trate. By the decision of the arbitrat
ors we will retain all men now at work
and will employ all men now out as
fast as possible, giving preference in
the order of application and wages re
ceived when going on a strike pend
ing the decision of the arbitrators."
The note was signed by Armour &
Co., Nelson Morris & Co., Schwarz
child & Sulzberger, National Packing
Co., Libby, McNeil and Libby,
This counter proposition of packers
was submitted to the members of the
executive committee of the union for
their consideration.
A UITLE WORK BEING
DONE IN KANSAS CITY
Kansas City, July 15.—Five packing
houses operated their butchering de

STRIKERS AT ST. PAUL
HAVE LOTS OF NERVE
St. Paul, July 15.—A large number of
strikers assembled about the office of
Swift & Co., today and refused to al
low the office force to enter the build
ing because they believed the office men
were helping to get out the stock.
There is a complete tie-up today and
nonewere allowed to enter the grounds.
It is asserted the company smuggled a
number of men into the grounds yes
terday in box cars.
NOMINATED ANYWA^
Waterville, Me., July 15.—Mayor' Cy
rus W. Davis, of Waterville, was dom
inated for governor of Maine at the
democratic state convention yesterday,
notwithstanding the fact that when his
name was presented he protested and
announced his withdrawal. Samuel W.
Gould, of Skowhegan, who headed the
democratic state ticket two years ago,
was also a candidate and when Mr.
Davis addressed the convention to an
nounce his position with reference to
the nomination he said that he was
bound to support Mr. Gould and would
vote for him. The delegates declined
to relieve Mr. Davis and with great
enthusiasm they placed him in nomi
nation by a vote of 377 to 80 for
Gould. On motion of Mr. Gould the
nomination was made: unanimous' and
Mr. Davis, after conferring with the
party leaders, announced that he would
accept it

BRYAN DISCUSSES
ST. LOUIS PLATFORM
Lincoln^ Net, July $5-—W. j[. Br^an
made public a statement, discussing
the various planks of the St. Louis
platform. The plank jjn imperialism,
he declares is positive, strong, and sat
isfactory and becomes the paramount
issue of the campaign. The statement
concludes with the following para
graph:
On the whole, the platform is good.
From the western standpoint, its
greatest defect is that it makes no
mention of the money question. An at
tempt was made to secure a plank op
the melting of silver dollars,
opposing asset currency and branch
batiks and expressing a preference for
the United States note (ordinarily
known as the green back) over the
bank note, but having refused to put
in the gold plank, the c&Bfpitee was
not willing to have any nhtaggi on the

BAD DEFEAT
FOR J. J. HILL
NEW JERSEY COURT ENJOINED
THE PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pro Rata Scheme of Distributing the
Merger Holdings Will Not Be Per
mitted and the Hill Interests May
Mm Control of the N. P.
•4
Trenton, N. J., July 15.—Judge Brad
ford today granted a preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Harri
jXan & Pierce against the Northern
Securities Co., to. prevent a pro rata
distribution of the assets of the com
pany. This is a defeat for the Hill in
terests, The opinion is fifty typewrit
ten pages. If this is held good by the
higher courts it will probably result
in the loss of control of the Northern
Pacific by the Hill interests and pre
vent the accomplishment of Mr. Hill's
long cherished plans.
Judge Bradford doesn't dispose of
the main point at issue in the case
whether Harriman- & iRfejrce should
have returned to them the stock of
the* Northern Pacific which they put
into the Northern Securities Co., but
devoted his attention to the preliminary
injunction and says the failure to grant
a preliminary injunction would permit
the distribution of the stock in the
Northern Pacific Co., to which Harri
man & Pierce claim title and put the
complainants in a position where they
would not be able to secure relief
should the case finally be decided in
thejjr javor.

of the central labor unions of Lu
zerne and Lackawanna Counties would

to listen to the report of the delegates
who were sent to Oyster Bay to solic
it aid from President Roosevelt in set
tlement of the Colorado mining trou
bles. William J. Loeb, jr., secretary
to the president, has explained to the
satisfaction of all concerned that when
President Roosevelt took up his resi
dence a£ Oyster Bay he made it plain
that no one would be received by him
exoept they had an engagement and it
was impossible to break this rule. Sec
retary Loeb sent the following tele
gram today:
"J. D. Davis, Wilkesbarre, Pa.:
"The president can see the committee
on Thursday at 3 o'clock or Friday at
5 o'clock p. m.
Reply was sent to Secretary Loeb
last night that it Would be impossible
to arrange a date until after the meet

TICKS KILLED BY USING
PETROLEUM LIBERALLY
San Luis Obispo, July 15.—Dr. C. H.
Blemer, state veterinarian, and Dr. G.
F. Faulkner, county veterinarian, are
here making a determined fight against
the Texas tick, which infests the dairy
herds on the coast side of this county.
On July 1, 300 head of cattle on the H.
W. Warden ranch were dipped with
Pinal crude oil from the Santa Bar
bara County oil fields. Yesterday the
doctors, accompanied by the county
board of supervisors, visited the War
den ranch to note the effects of the dip
ping. All were most highly gratified,
as the cattle, which had been very ticky,
were found to be entirely free of tick
and suffering little inconvenience from
having been immersed in the oily fluid.
Sufficient of the oil was adhering to
prevent the ticks getting upon them
again. The doctors are about convinc
ed that for all local purposes of freeing
this county from the tick the Pinal oil
will answer as well as the more ex
pensive Beaumont, Tex., oil.

has been a great deal of discussion here
over the decision of Judge Cowan at
Minnewaukan recently in which he held
the county judges had no authority to

Prominent legal lights in this city

entirely valueless.
CHICAGO & ALTON
New York, July 15.—In explanation
of the announcement that no Chicago

the Harriman interests gives out the
following statement:
"There is now on deposit sufficient
of this stock to guarantee the success
of any plan which the projectors may

PORTLAND BOYS START
TO HAWAII IN A YAWL
Portland, Ore., July 15.—In a twenty
five foot single sticker two Portland
school boys have started on a voyage
for Honolulu by way of San Francisco.
Late last evening they arrived at As
toria and today early will see them 011
the sea.
Glen D. Cayler and Harry Kinney
are the youths who will attempt a feat
never yet undertaken in so frail a
craft. Glen is the captain and pro
moter of the scheme, while his chum,
Harry, is the crew, though he is the
owner of the craft in which the voyage
is to be made. The captain's father is
a prominent wholesale commission
man, and the boy has stocked the
yacht with all necessaries from money
he has earned himself. The boys
moored the little craft beneath the Jef
ferson Street bridge on June 23, and
hand-over-hand lowered their small
stock of supplies with the aid of ropes.
The loading took most of the day.
Next morning the lads induced the
owners of a launch to give them a lift
to the mouth of the Willamette. When
last seen they were sailing down the
Columbia on Monday morning. At
that time everything was going nicely.
Twice since the departure of the lit
tle craft, which is named The Portland,
•Mr. Cayler has received letters from
his son. One- of these communications,
from St. Helens, was made at that
town on June 25. It contained about
twenty-five words and said everything
was "O. K."
Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
has all but decided definitely to settle
permanently in Europe. Mr. Thomas,
who has always been a stalwart Amer
ican in all his tastes, thought that he
would never select Europe as a place
of residence. But his views were
changed by a sojorn of some months
abroad.

ROYALTY AND THE FAIR.
St. Louis, July 15.—Prince George
and Prince Konrad of Bavaria have de^^
parted for the City of Mexico after
week's visit to the World's Fair. Thil''.
princes became greatly enthusiastic
over the St. Louis Exposition. Both''*1
declared that the fair is wonderful an4*^
is worthy of being seen by all.
"I am favorably impressed with St» v
Louis and the fair," said PrincRt'
George. "My brother and 1 have had
a delightful stay in this western city*
The magnitude and beauty of the ex?'"
position impressed me most. The faifc
is so large and beautiful that one al
most loses sight of the elegant exhib*
its in all the buildings.
"I was particularly pleased with tha
illumination of the buildings at night
I have never seen anything prettied,
than the St. Louis World's Fair build^
ings when outlined at night with theijr
millions of electric lights. The whola
scope of the enterprise has deeply
pressed my brother and myself, and wa
believe the American people deserv®
much credit for what they have done.
"It was quite gratifying to see the
exhibits of Germany. Germany seem*
well represented in every department,
of the fair which is a source of gratf
fication to all her sons. I am sura
that Germany will send many visitors •_
to see what awaits them at beautiful
St. Louis."
Prince George and Prince Konrad,
together with their traveling company
ion, Baron von Reitzenstein, while ifl,
St. Louis were entertained at tha
home of the German Consul Dr. Rielott
on West Pine Boulevard. After a
short visit to the City of Mexico, the'
royal party will go through California
Yellowstone Park and parts of Cansk
da. The princes expect to do muclf%
hunting while on their trip, looking fqrk
big game in Yellowstone Park and ip-,"*

Barry glared around for a moment an«j
