The meeting was arranged by the industrial depar ment of the Na- tional Civic Federation, and all the con- tributions to the symposium were lead- ein in their several fields of activity.

Tttie] speakers were Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Bishop Potter, John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America; Charles R. Flint, president of the American Rubber company; Daniel J. Keefe, of the Illinois board of arbitration; W. v. Haywarl, of the National Association of Builders; James OVonnell, president of the As- sociation of Machinists, and Herman Justi, commissioner of the United Stutis Coal Op<rators' as ociatlon. WORKERS ARK MEN. Samuel Gompers presided and In open- Ing the meeting expressed the hope that a new epoch had come in the relations of labor and capital. "We want indus- trial p< ace, but not at the sacrifice of any of the elements of manfcoo*," he Bald. "The Increased growth in the or- ganisation of labor has brought greater responsibility. The work is going ahead actively, however, and we are meeting our problems in a practical way. We are dealing with living men and living women and living children in the hope of better things for all. The laboring people insist that they be regarded as something more than wage earners. They air men with rights and hopes and aspirations and love." He expressed the belief that the plan of conciliation should be aided by every man who was against strife and for lit said that the unions sought to do injustice to no man, but were form- ed to conserve the rights of these who formed th. m. >p Potter expressed his gratifica- tion at the growth of the spirit of con- ton. He noted a growth of Intelli- and open-mindedness among work- men, and said that up 'n it coild be buiit the honest hope for the future. He add- ed that at the same ti-ne there was a greater Interest manifested on the part of employers in the lives and conditions of their men. II" praised the humanity of American diplomacy in China, and he Bald that it offered a s;.k-nuid example for emulation. "If you ri.«e to tihls opportunity," he Baid, liyo;i will s, t ihe world another ex- ! ample that It will be your privilege to remember with pride all your lives." John Mitchell said that he was for peace because he had known the bruises of war. "The relations of labor and capital," he pp. id, "aro purely n business proposition. Th. re is no sentiment in it. Peace is • for both, and 1 am for peace if we can have- an honorable peace. I believe there never would be strikes if the em- ployers and employes could meet in fair conference. If we could have got a h- a ring last year the great coal strike would have been avoided." He said the public was a pfirty to every fii \u25a0 ike, and should be c-nsulted. He hoped that the Chamber of Commerce of New York would lend its mighty aid to a con- ciliation plan. STRIFE HAS NO PLACE. Charles R. Flint, the capitalist, was humorouFly liuroduc< d as "the walking tlelt gate of the American Rubber mid- pany, who worked fourteen hours a day." 1 expressed his N confulenee in the good thait would come of closer relationship between labor and capital. Ho exhaus* lively reviewed the export trade of th« country and the accomplishments of the American skilled laborer, an 1 Bald in the greatest Industrial evolution the world had ever known there was no room for fltrife between labor and capital. Daniel J. Keefe said that conciliation Was more acceptable than arbitration, for In the latter sjsle-m there had to be a decision defeating one side or the other. William H. Hayward supported >' •lull's con-tontion that the relation of i i wo preat industrial fore* a was pure- ly of a business nature. He said the lab- or, r did not want sympathy, but good, Bquare treatment, and when he got it he generally returned good, square treat- n :U. Ho believed that the employers should moot their men in a greater spirit of frankness. James O"Connell said that in the metal trades employers and toilers had learned the benefits of organization and mutual concessions, fie was sure the conciliation movement would do great good. Herman Justi sa:d in conclusion: "Un- der tho old dispensation employe and em- ployer sought for differences. Under the now dispensation they seek the points of agreement. 1I( related the experience in Illinois with a policy of conciliation, and said that it had worked excellently. "I hope this is the beginning of the great move- ment. Our national prosperity depend.3 Hi on the steady employment of every vato earner at a decent wage, and I be- lieve every employer in the country with a heart in his breast or a brain in his head knows it." Samuel Gompers, in closing, saM the thorough organization of labor presaged lete protection for the honest em- againet his dishonest competitor, \u25a0who "nibbled at prices." BRYAN FAVORS FUSION.

LEAF TOBACCO MEN OPPOSE RECIPROCITY DON'T WANT FREE TRADE BE- NEW YORK, May -The tlird an- nual convention of the" National Cigar Leaf Tobacco association was continued this afternoon. John R Young, of Phila- •lelpltia. f resided. The secretary, Walter G. Wilson, of Philadelphia, read the re- port of the committee on resolut'ons. Ono resolution pres3nted. prepared at the association, was credibly informed that that the manufacturers in various parts of the country, and notably in Cin- cinnati, were doing a leaf-tobacco b-s- --iness without having paid the special tax of dealers in luaf tobacco, that they avoided this tax by taking refuge uader the section of the law which permits manufacturers to sell to other manufact- urers such leaf tobacco as may be un- suitable for their own use. The resolution taken up dealt with the method of calculating the weight of imported tobacco in a3«t\ssin£T duties. At present the "dock weight" is taken, ani this is usually much greater than th.3 weight taken after the. tobacco has been in the warehouse for some time Another resolution passed directs the executive committee \o keep a - repre- sentative as 'heretofore at Washington. S(till another resolution was passed, hewever, directing that no effort be mada I at present to secure the amendment of j the tobacco schedule In the tariff, except so as to secure a uniform rate as to leaf tobacco. The real importance of this last men- tioned resolution does not appear, It is said, to the lay mind merely in its text. It does not contain the slightest reference to Cuba, and yet its real purpose, it was said today, was to commit the associa- tion to oppose any legislation looking towards reciprocity arrangements with Cuba, by which Cukan tobacco could come into the United States free of duty or at a lower rate.. This was not men- tioned in the debate which was very brief, but members who were ask.d about the matter admitted that the reso- lution was inimical to reciprocity ar- rangements, "which should cover tobac- co coming from Cuba or any other coun- try," as one member expressed it. One resolution providing that when a salesman leaves one employer who is a member of the association, he shall not be employed by another as long as he .might be indebted to his former employ- er. This resolution was defeated by a large majority. The association decided to hold its convention in Cincinnati next year. ,«. STATUS OF CUBA. HAVMA CONVENTION WILL ACCEPT PLATT AiMEiXDftIENT. HAVANA, May —The special commis- sion of the Cuban constitutional- conven- tion, which returned here from Washing- ton May 5, at the secret session of the convention today presented an extensive report of their conference with President McKiiiley and Sccrttary Koot and a (flowing account of the banquets and re- ceptions tendered them. Senor Gibersa objected to incorporating an account of the social programme in the report, but the commission insisted upon thi3 section.. Referring to the third- clause of the Pla'c amendment the report stated that the United States would not intervene unless Cuba was. attacked by a foreign power, or* unless there existed in Cuba a condition of affairs similar to 'that which existed under Spain at the time of the American Intervention. .;' Regarding coal stations, the report set forth tnaY the places so desired by the United States were Capes Maysi and San Antonio, and anotheT-point commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico. These would be . definitely determined upon when drawing up the treaty, and that the object of thtse stations would b«j the maintenance of the independence of Cuba, as well as the protection of the United States. The report also aaid that the United States would not interfere in the local government and th.it President McKinley had premised* to appoint a commission to meet a commission from Cuba to settle the economic question and to draw up a commercial treaty as soon as the republic is established, and that he advised the Cubans in the meantime to study the situation in this respect. The representatives announced that Secretary Root had said that there waa nothing in the Platt amendment to pre- vent Cuba having diplomatic representa- tives in foreign countries. The repovt has evidently made a good impression, and only a few Radicals will continue to oppose its acceptance. The convention will mret Thursday, and I is expected to take dunnits action Satur- day. BRITAIN CRITICISED. GERMAN LIOERAL CASTIGATEiS CONDUCT OF TRANSVAAL WAR. BERLIN, May 7.—ln the reichstag to- I day Baron yon Hohenberg, the Guelph j leader, interpellated the government as ] to what steps had.beentaken to effect the ' release of German missionaries n >\v I held prisoners by the British in South Africa. He averred that ten mission- aries were confined in Pretoria and that there was not the slightest charge • against them and that their property had been seized. Baron yon Richthoffen, the foreign secretary, replied that where injury had been done Germans in South Africa a remedy would be found in oompensa'ti.->n awarded by the commission now sitting for that purpose. "We pledge ourselves to do our ut- most," said the foreign secretary, "to see that what can be made good shall be, although discomforts and hardshi. s are inseparable from every war. we hope that adequate compensation will be paid Germans expelled from the Transvaal." Dr. Hesse, National Liberal leader, said: "The British in waging war against the Boers have hitherto attain- ed nothing and it appears now they are having recourse to barbarous methods against whioh Germans must protest." JAILED FOR CONTEMPT KAiXSAS CITY CASK WILL. TEST KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 7.—President W. H. Holmes, president of the Metro- politan street raiiroad, was ordered by Jud.ara Wefford in the- criminal court to- day to appear before the grand jury, which is Investigating rumors of Jury bribing in connection with a damage sirt, and produce the books and papers of the claim department of his road. Mr. Holmes, through his nlttorneys, refused to comply with the order. Judge Wefford held Mr. Holmes in contempt of court, and he was constructively placed In cus» tody until the* matter can be r^ssed upon by a higher court. There is a constitu- tional quesition involved, and the matter may be taken before the supreme court of the state or the federal court. In re- citing his refusal to obey the court's or« der. Mr. Holmes' attorneys claimed ex- emption under sections of the constitu- tion, both of state and federal^ which protect a person from unreasonable search, and the constitutional provision that no person is compelled to give evi- dence that might incriminate himself.

"I have no time to answer Imaginations of speculators in stocks. Canadian Pa- cific stock Is held by 15,000 or more indi- viduals, and there are not 100 holders who combined could sell control.

BALTIMORE, May 7.—The Republicans today elected eighteen out of twenty- three members for the first branch of the city council and all three members for the second branch. 8115.P.1 NEW YORK PAPERS ECHOING RE- PORTS OP OBSERVERS IN WALL STREET SOME SUGGEST A CONTEST FAKE STORIES ABOUT HILL NEW YORK, May 7.—The Even- ing Post says: "Prom the re- markable movement of Northern Pa- cific shares'today, In the course of which the common stock rose to 149% and the pre ferred to 11316, observers in Wall street were led to believe that a fight for con- trol of the voting rights was in progress. •'An Important right which the prefer- red shares of Northern Pacific railway possess and heretofore not much notic- ed is that nc additional mortgage can be Tlaccd on the Northern Pacific railway without the consent of two-thirds of the preferred stock and the holders of a majority of the common stock repre- sented at any meeting of shareholders called for such purpose. No meeting of Northern Pacific shareholders has yet been called to approve the new bonds to be issued and guaranteed jointly witih the Great Northern railway to take up the Burlington stock. In some quarters today the suggestion was made that the current reports of a contest for control of the Northern Pacific railway, / im- probable as they may seem, may have the basis, that the management of the Northern Pacific may be seeking to control enough of the preferred stacks in particular to prevent any successful opposition to the acquisition of the Burlington railway." The Mall and Express says today: "There is excellent authority for the statement that William K. Vanderbilt has carried the day in tlhe contest for the control of the Union Pacific railway, and that he intends to put through his plan of annexing it to the Vanderbilt system. "His Idea is that it should be controlled by Chicago & North-Western and New York Central Jointly, with the guarantee of 6 per cent on Union Pacific common stock, a'ld possibly an exdhange of 3 per cent bonds issued Jointly by the North-Western and New York Central In exchange for Union Pacific common stock. There may, however, be some change in this last feature." "I know very little of the ups and downs of the stock market. I only know that Canadian Pacific is worth more than many other stocks now selling above par. Its value has been overlooked in tha gieat advance- that has occurred in prices, and this fact seems to have come to the mind of somebody. The directors have always given their attention to the per- n.anent welfare of the property, rather than to stock exchange quotations of its securities, feeling sure that the securities wculd be properly appreciated by the public in the end." One of the sensational rumors in con- nection with the phenomenal . rise tn Northern Pacific common stock yesWday was to the effect that J. J. Hill and a few of his close friends had last week dls- pesed of 200,000 shares of that stock, and that it had been gobbled up by W. X yarderbilt and his associates. The story further stated that Mr. Hill realizing that the control of the Northern Paciiic had r-'issed cut of bis hands, m^'i a frantic effort to secure control of tho Canadian Pacific, causing a sharp rise in the stcck of that road. . This fairy tale was shewn C. S. Mellen president of the Northern Pacific who returned from the East yesterday, and he at once declared it to be ridiculous He was with Mr. Hill until the end >f last week, and up to that time tl:e latter had expressed no intention of parting: with any of his holdings.. Mr Mellen further stated that he did .not think Mr. Hill's interest in the Northern Pacific was of a speculative nature but was rather that of a man who ' was taking an interest in the road. Another rumor from the same city was that Mr. Mellen waa about to resign When questioned en this point the pres- ident of the Northern Pacific answered with a satirical smile. N. P. PREFERRED STOCK . Rumor Revived That It Will Be Re- tired Next Year. NEW YORK, May 7.-It Is ' announced or. good authority that the $75,003,C0J 4 per cent preferred stock of the Northern ! Pacific railroad Is to be retired at 110 in 3 p.er cent bonds,;thus leaving the com- mon stock free to enjoy all of the net receipts. Persons close to the manage- ment declare that the company can eas- j ily pay 6 per cent on the common stock, | and that it will do so under its close- working arrangement with the Burling- ton and Great - Northern railroads. The Northern Pacific has the right to retire the preferred stock at $100 a share, but it would be impract.'cable to make a cash transaction of it, and it is calculat- ed that the offer of 3% per cent bonds at 110 will prove attractive to shareholders, and that the transaction will go through without a hitch when the time comes that it can be legally done. This" plan was outlined several months ago, and it was foreknowledge of this that led some, to predict that Northern Pacific common would go to $125 a share. That prediction was more than reaUzed yesterday, and the preferred shares also enjoyed a good rise on the notion th t a 3% per cent bond will sell close to par, making the present preferred stock worth perhaps 105 or 106. Besides the saving of nearly one-half of 1 per cent on the bonds to be issue:! in exchange for the preferred stock, offi- cials of the Northern Pacific expect to s.ave from 1 to 2 per cent additional by the operation of the Burlington, thereby yielding net earnings for Northern Pa- cific of 7 or 8 per cent even in duller times than the present. \u0084:-.- r:<\u25a0:\u25a0\u25a0 ' \u25a0 _ -. \u25a0''.\u25a0'-•:'.'\u25a0 SWISS FARMERS COME TO MINNESOTA THEOPEN DOOR. \u25a0-••; i :..:\u25a0•.\u25a0 \u0084 CHINESE OFFICIALS ARE SAID TO PB IN FAVOR OF IT. WASHINGTON May 7.—lt has develop- ed that the movement for the extensive opening of China to foreign trade and commerce has the active approval, not only of the United States and several other powers, but also of Chinese of- ficials. About the only doubt as to the formal position of China is that caused by tho empress dowager's recent creation of a council of state. How far this coun- cil will have authority to check the ac- tion of the peace plenipotentiaries Is not yet clear, but the negotiations are proceeding with the prospect of uniting the various branches of Ch nese autrorliy in support of the present plan. The atti- tude of Russia also is the source of some solicitude, although the negotiations are being so framed as to obviate any ob- jection which Russia might raise if the opening of commerce Were to apply prin- cipally to Manchuria, ; PEKTN, May 7.— W. Martin, the Ameri- can consul at Nankjn, announces in a cablegram that the secret societies there have joined issues with the reformers. Chinese troops patrol Nankin and sleep under arms. China will request the powers to obtain for her a loan sufficient to pay the in- demnity as soon as the amount thereof Is made known. She will also ask for an extra twenty million taels, to be pro- vided annually, according to the propo- sition of the foreign ministers.

The >oung woman regained consciousness and after repeated attempts reached the surface and went home, where she told of the crime. She stated that she hal caught a glimpse of 'tier assailant anJ would be able to identify him. Miss would be able to identify him. Searching parties are scouring the country. The murderer will be probably burned at the stake if caught. At a late hour tonight Miss Bonn he was reported to have died, but this is not confirmed. Miss Bonnie's assailant waa a white man, presumably a tramp. STRIKE ON LACKAWANNA. Two Thousand sii«>j» Employes Are SCItANTON, Pa., May 7.-Another strike of Delaware, Lackawanna & West- ern railroad employes was precipitated here at noon today by the refusal to grant the requests cf the workmen for a nine-hour working day at ithes present rate of wages. A grievance committee of twelve men, representing the machinists, waited upon Superintendent of Motive Power Lloyd and requested the conces- sion. He refused the demand, a report was made by the conr.xnlßtee and the men decided to strike at' once. All the men went out, including machinists, black* smiths, boilfcrmakcre and helpers, en- gino wipers and laborers, to the number Of 9i"iO. Word of their tfctlcm was sent to all other men in similar occupations along the line from Hoboken, N. J., to Buffalo.

The two hours In the morning at the Congress grold mine up In the clouds of the Blue Tank mountains w.ra replcne with incidents and were thoroujrbr ly enjoyed. An American Hag •. across the tunnel through which the president passed, and aft*r hi emerged he told the little group of mm rs who con- gregated about the tiain that he bad seen Old Glory floating from tow*] and state house and warship in many different places, but that never before during his life had !».• seen the American flag 1,500 f< . t under ground.

The j>..- [dent, ac- companied by President P, D. Gaj the mine, walked through a half mile tunnel, lighted by candles, to the .--\u25a0taiiip mills, where eight) stain \u25a0 v. ing ore. They then Inspected the i . anid« works and saw r..*t a bar of gold worth $2".('fio. The president was mvi ii Interest* cd. and asked if h<_ could not see th* bar. "I will show it," shouted one of the meltcrs, a man named Richmond. Slop- ping forward, and with the protection only of ;i lev. rags on his hands, he the red hot mold and dump..! the white hoi bar of glowing metal upon th< Ht.>n •. The rafrs were Ignited by the bi-ut and the young man's h.inds were scorched, but he did r.< <t wince. "That is the true American pluck,"' cried the president, advancing toward Richmond. "I want to shake your hand." He grasped the man's hand and shook it cordially. On the way back to the train the presi- dent had a good view of the mlnlns camp In .the vallc-y below. The famous V\ilture mine, on one of the \u25a0pun ni the Vulture mountains, forty miles away, was pointed out to the i>iv*. Ident. Leaving the rich mining section In th« mountains 4,000 feet above Boa level, tho train dropped down Inlto the green Salt River valley, with ita waving alfalfa meadows and biff herds of cattle, ThfS 'Vftl',ey,4* sailed the gard' n spot of Aris- ona and wub reclaimed by Irrigation.

At Wickenburg, tho scene of the recent gold mine strike, the train was halted long enough to ip&rcnit the president to receive a visit from the school children. The children presented Mrs. MdCinley with a cabinet of specimens. The presi- dent thanked the children In Mrs. Mc- Kinley's behalf, and addressed them brieily. DEILAYED BY BREAKDOWN. The accident to the locomotive tender delayed tho arrival of the train at Phoenix two hours and somewhat dis- arranged the programme there. Never- theless, the party received a rousing weicome. Gov. Murphy and th \u25a0 territor- ial officers hid met the pttrty at the C/>ngress mine and accompanied them back to Phoenix. At tho station the ter- ritorial malltla, a company of cowbo>B on bronchos and some of tho friendly Piina anj Blarlcopa Indians Joinei In the wildly fnthuHiastlc reception. Tho party was driven to the Adam.-i hotel for luncheon and afterward was escorted to the territorial capltol, where the formal exercises took pJaoe. Gov. Murpthy delivered an address of welcome, to • which the president ra- BPonded. A drive afterward gave the president a chance to see the lnterostlng ruln3 of the ancient Aztec irrigation system. At the Indian Industrial school, four inll'-s from Phoenix, tho party had a glimpso of what Is being done,, In the way of education of the "wards of the nation.

I/iBBITEATION BOARD MEETS

NEW YORK, May 7.—Concllaron as ameans of maintaining Industrial pea( cbetween labor and capital was discussedby leaders of un'on'sm and finance atthe Chamber of Commerce this af tr m-oon. The meeting was arranged bythe industrial depar ment of the Na-tional Civic Federation, and all the con-tributions to the symposium were lead-ein in their several fields of activity.Tliey met upon common ground, and«ere a unit in the hope that strife won 111" eliminated from the relations of >m-ployer and toiler and a perpetual tru;:edeclared. Tttie] speakers were SamuelGompers, president of the AmericanFederation of Labor; Bishop Potter,John Mitchell, president of the UnitedMine Workers of America; Charles R.Flint, president of the American Rubbercompany; Daniel J. Keefe, of the Illinoisboard of arbitration; W. v. Haywarl,of the National Association of Builders;James OVonnell, president of the As-sociation of Machinists, and HermanJusti, commissioner of the United StutisCoal Op<rators' as ociatlon.

WORKERS ARK MEN.Samuel Gompers presided and In open-

Ing the meeting expressed the hope thata new epoch had come in the relationsof labor and capital. "We want indus-trial p< ace, but not at the sacrifice ofany of the elements of manfcoo*," heBald. "The Increased growth in the or-ganisation of labor has brought greaterresponsibility. The work is going aheadactively, however, and we are meetingour problems in a practical way. Weare dealing with living men and livingwomen and living children in the hopeof better things for all. The laboringpeople insist that they be regarded assomething more than wage earners.They air men with rights and hopes andaspirations and love."

He expressed the belief that the planof conciliation should be aided by everyman who was against strife and for

lit said that the unions sought todo injustice to no man, but were form-ed to conserve the rights of these whoformed th. m.

>p Potter expressed his gratifica-tion at the growth of the spirit of con-

ton. He noted a growth of Intelli-and open-mindedness among work-

men, and said that up 'n it coild be buiitthe honest hope for the future. He add-ed that at the same ti-ne there was agreater Interest manifested on the partof employers in the lives and conditionsof their men. II" praised the humanityof American diplomacy in China, and heBald that it offered a s;.k-nuid examplefor emulation.

"If you ri.«e to tihls opportunity," heBaid, liyo;i will s, t ihe world another ex- !ample that It will be your privilege toremember with pride all your lives."

John Mitchell said that he was forpeace because he had known the bruisesof war.

"The relations of labor and capital," hepp. id, "aro purely n business proposition.Th. re is no sentiment in it. Peace is

• for both, and 1 am for peace if wecan have- an honorable peace. I believethere never would be strikes if the em-ployers and employes could meet in fairconference. If we could have got ah- a ring last year the great coal strikewould have been avoided."

He said the public was a pfirty to everyfii \u25a0 ike, and should be c-nsulted. He hopedthat the Chamber of Commerce of NewYork would lend its mighty aid to a con-ciliation plan.

STRIFE HAS NO PLACE.Charles R. Flint, the capitalist, was

humorouFly liuroduc< d as "the walkingtlelt gate of the American Rubber mid-pany, who worked fourteen hours a day."1 expressed his N confulenee in the goodthait would come of closer relationshipbetween labor and capital. Ho exhaus*lively reviewed the export trade of th«country and the accomplishments of theAmerican skilled laborer, an 1 Bald in thegreatest Industrial evolution the worldhad ever known there was no room forfltrife between labor and capital.

Daniel J. Keefe said that conciliationWas more acceptable than arbitration, forIn the latter sjsle-m there had to be adecision defeating one side or the other.

William H. Hayward supported

>' •lull's con-tontion that the relation ofi i wo preat industrial fore*a was pure-ly of a business nature. He said the lab-or, r did not want sympathy, but good,Bquare treatment, and when he got it hegenerally returned good, square treat-n :U. Ho believed that the employersshould moot their men in a greater spiritof frankness.

James O"Connell said that in the metaltrades employers and toilers had learnedthe benefits of organization and mutualconcessions, fie was sure the conciliationmovement would do great good.

Herman Justi sa:d in conclusion: "Un-der tho old dispensation employe and em-ployer sought for differences. Under thenow dispensation they seek the pointsof agreement.

1I( related the experience in Illinoiswith a policy of conciliation, and saidthat it had worked excellently. "I hopethis is the beginning of the great move-ment. Our national prosperity depend.3Hi on the steady employment of everyvato earner at a decent wage, and I be-lieve every employer in the country witha heart in his breast or a brain in hishead knows it."

Samuel Gompers, in closing, saM thethorough organization of labor presaged

lete protection for the honest em-againet his dishonest competitor,

\u25a0who "nibbled at prices."

LEAF TOBACCO MENOPPOSE RECIPROCITY

DON'T WANT FREE TRADE BE-

NEW YORK, May -The tlird an-nual convention of the" National CigarLeaf Tobacco association was continuedthis afternoon. John R Young, of Phila-•lelpltia. f resided. The secretary, WalterG. Wilson, of Philadelphia, read the re-port of the committee on resolut'ons.Ono resolution pres3nted. prepared atthe association, was credibly informedthat that the manufacturers in variousparts of the country, and notably in Cin-

cinnati, were doing a leaf-tobacco b-s---iness without having paid the special taxof dealers in luaf tobacco, that theyavoided this tax by taking refuge uaderthe section of the law which permitsmanufacturers to sell to other manufact-urers such leaf tobacco as may be un-suitable for their own use.

The resolution taken up dealt withthe method of calculating the weight ofimported tobacco in a3«t\ssin£T duties. Atpresent the "dock weight" is taken, anithis is usually much greater than th.3weight taken after the. tobacco has beenin the warehouse for some time

Another resolution passed directs theexecutive committee \o keep a - repre-sentative as 'heretofore at Washington.

S(till another resolution was passed,hewever, directing that no effort be mada

I at present to secure the amendment ofj the tobacco schedule In the tariff, except

so as to secure a uniform rate as toleaf tobacco.

The real importance of this last men-tioned resolution does not appear, It issaid, to the lay mind merely in its text.It does not contain the slightest referenceto Cuba, and yet its real purpose, it wassaid today, was to commit the associa-tion to oppose any legislation lookingtowards reciprocity arrangements withCuba, by which Cukan tobacco couldcome into the United States free of dutyor at a lower rate.. This was not men-tioned in the debate which was verybrief, but members who were ask.dabout the matter admitted that the reso-lution was inimical to reciprocity ar-rangements, "which should cover tobac-co coming from Cuba or any other coun-try," as one member expressed it.

One resolution providing that when asalesman leaves one employer who is amember of the association, he shall notbe employed by another as long as he.might be indebted to his former employ-er. This resolution was defeated by alarge majority.

The association decided to hold itsconvention in Cincinnati next year.

STATUS OF CUBA.HAVMA CONVENTION WILL ACCEPT

PLATT AiMEiXDftIENT.HAVANA,May —The special commis-

sion of the Cuban constitutional- conven-tion, which returned here from Washing-ton May 5, at the secret session of theconvention today presented an extensivereport of their conference with PresidentMcKiiiley and Sccrttary Koot and a(flowing account of the banquets and re-ceptions tendered them.

Senor Gibersa objected to incorporatingan account of the social programme inthe report, but the commission insistedupon thi3 section..

Referring to the third- clause of thePla'c amendment the report stated thatthe United States would not interveneunless Cuba was. attacked by a foreignpower, or* unless there existed in Cubaa condition of affairs similar to 'thatwhich existed under Spain at the time ofthe American Intervention. .;'

Regarding coal stations, the report setforth tnaY the places so desired by theUnited States were Capes Maysi and SanAntonio, and anotheT-point commandingthe entrance to the Gulf of Mexico.These would be . definitely determinedupon when drawing up the treaty, andthat the object of thtse stations would b«jthe maintenance of the independence ofCuba, as well as the protection of theUnited States. The report also aaid thatthe United States would not interfere inthe local government and th.it PresidentMcKinley had premised* to appoint acommission to meet a commission fromCuba to settle the economic question andto draw up a commercial treaty as soonas the republic is established, and thathe advised the Cubans in the meantimeto study the situation in this respect.

The representatives announced thatSecretary Root had said that there waanothing in the Platt amendment to pre-vent Cuba having diplomatic representa-tives in foreign countries. The repovthas evidently made a good impression,and only a few Radicals will continue tooppose its acceptance.

The convention will mret Thursday, and Iis expected to take dunnits action Satur-day.

BRITAIN CRITICISED.GERMAN LIOERAL CASTIGATEiS

CONDUCT OF TRANSVAAL WAR.BERLIN, May 7.—ln the reichstag to- I

day Baron yon Hohenberg, the Guelph jleader, interpellated the government as ]to what steps had.beentaken to effect the 'release of German missionaries n >\v Iheld prisoners by the British in SouthAfrica. He averred that ten mission-aries were confined in Pretoria and thatthere was not the slightest charge •against them and that their property hadbeen seized.

Baron yon Richthoffen, the foreignsecretary, replied that where injury hadbeen done Germans in South Africa aremedy would be found in oompensa'ti.->nawarded by the commission now sittingfor that purpose.

"We pledge ourselves to do our ut-most," said the foreign secretary, "tosee that what can be made good shallbe, although discomforts and hardshi. sare inseparable from every war. we hopethat adequate compensation will be paidGermans expelled from the Transvaal."

Dr. Hesse, National Liberal leader,said: "The British in waging waragainst the Boers have hitherto attain-ed nothing and it appears now they arehaving recourse to barbarous methodsagainst whioh Germans must protest."

PORTS OP OBSERVERS INWALL STREET

SOME SUGGEST A CONTEST

FAKE STORIES ABOUT HILL

NEW YORK, May 7.—The Even-ing Post says: "Prom the re-markable movement of Northern Pa-cific shares'today, In the course of whichthe common stock rose to 149% and thepre ferred to 11316, observers in Wall streetwere led to believe that a fight for con-trol of the voting rights was in progress.

•'An Important right which the prefer-red shares of Northern Pacific railwaypossess and heretofore not much notic-ed is that nc additional mortgage can beTlaccd on the Northern Pacific railwaywithout the consent of two-thirds of thepreferred stock and the holders of amajority of the common stock repre-sented at any meeting of shareholderscalled for such purpose. No meeting ofNorthern Pacific shareholders has yetbeen called to approve the new bondsto be issued and guaranteed jointly witihthe Great Northern railway to take upthe Burlington stock. In some quarterstoday the suggestion was made that thecurrent reports of a contest for controlof the Northern Pacific railway, /im-probable as they may seem, may havethe basis, that the management of theNorthern Pacific may be seeking tocontrol enough of the preferred stacksin particular to prevent any successfulopposition to the acquisition of theBurlington railway."

The Mall and Express says today:"There is excellent authority for thestatement that William K. Vanderbilthas carried the day in tlhe contest forthe control of the Union Pacific railway,and that he intends to put through hisplan of annexing it to the Vanderbiltsystem.

"His Idea is that it should be controlledby Chicago & North-Western and NewYork Central Jointly, with the guaranteeof 6 per cent on Union Pacific commonstock, a'ld possibly an exdhange of 3per cent bonds issued Jointly by theNorth-Western and New York CentralIn exchange for Union Pacific commonstock. There may, however, be somechange in this last feature."

"I know very little of the ups anddowns of the stock market. I only knowthat Canadian Pacific is worth more thanmany other stocks now selling above par.Its value has been overlooked in thagieat advance- that has occurred in prices,and this fact seems to have come to themind of somebody. The directors havealways given their attention to the per-n.anent welfare of the property, ratherthan to stock exchange quotations of itssecurities, feeling sure that the securitieswculd be properly appreciated by thepublic in the end."

One of the sensational rumors in con-nection with the phenomenal . rise tnNorthern Pacific common stock yesWdaywas to the effect that J. J. Hill and a fewof his close friends had last week dls-pesed of 200,000 shares of that stock, andthat it had been gobbled up by W. Xyarderbilt and his associates. The storyfurther stated that Mr. Hill realizingthat the control of the Northern Paciiichad r-'issed cut of bis hands, m^'i afrantic effort to secure control of thoCanadian Pacific, causing a sharp rise inthe stcck of that road. .This fairy tale was shewn C. S. Mellenpresident of the Northern Pacific whoreturned from the East yesterday, andhe at once declared it to be ridiculousHe was with Mr. Hill until the end >flast week, and up to that time tl:elatter had expressed no intention ofparting: with any of his holdings.. MrMellen further stated that he did .notthink Mr. Hill's interest in the NorthernPacific was of a speculative nature butwas rather that of a man who ' wastaking an interest in the road.

Another rumor from the same city wasthat Mr. Mellen waa about to resignWhen questioned en this point the pres-ident of the Northern Pacific answeredwith a satirical smile.

N. P. PREFERRED STOCK .Rumor Revived That It Will Be Re-

tired Next Year.NEW YORK, May 7.-It Is '

announcedor. good authority that the $75,003,C0J 4per cent preferred stock of the Northern

! Pacific railroad Is to be retired at 110 in3 p.er cent bonds,;thus leaving the com-mon stock free to enjoy all of the netreceipts. Persons close to the manage-ment declare that the company can eas-

j ily pay 6 per cent on the common stock,| and that it will do so under its close-working arrangement with the Burling-ton and Great -Northern railroads. TheNorthern Pacific has the right to retirethe preferred stock at $100 a share, butit would be impract.'cable to make acash transaction of it, and it is calculat-ed that the offer of 3% per cent bonds at110 will prove attractive to shareholders,and that the transaction will go throughwithout a hitch when the time comesthat it can be legally done.

This" plan was outlined several monthsago, and it was foreknowledge of thisthat led some, to predict that NorthernPacific common would go to $125 a share.That prediction was more than reaUzedyesterday, and the preferred shares alsoenjoyed a good rise on the notion th ta 3% per cent bond will sell close topar, making the present preferred stockworth perhaps 105 or 106.

Besides the saving of nearly one-halfof 1 per cent on the bonds to be issue:!in exchange for the preferred stock, offi-cials of the Northern Pacific expect tos.ave from 1 to 2 per cent additional bythe operation of the Burlington, therebyyielding net earnings for Northern Pa-cific of 7 or 8 per cent even in dullertimes than the present. \u0084:-.- r:<\u25a0:\u25a0\u25a0

CHINESE OFFICIALS ARE SAID TOPB IN FAVOR OF IT.

WASHINGTON May 7.—lt has develop-ed that the movement for the extensiveopening of China to foreign trade andcommerce has the active approval, notonly of the United States and severalother powers, but also of Chinese of-ficials. About the only doubt as to theformal position of China is that causedby tho empress dowager's recent creationof a council of state. How far this coun-cil will have authority to check the ac-tion of the peace plenipotentiaries Isnot yet clear, but the negotiations areproceeding with the prospect of unitingthe various branches of Ch nese autrorliyin support of the present plan. The atti-tude of Russia also is the source of somesolicitude, although the negotiations arebeing so framed as to obviate any ob-jection which Russia might raise if theopening of commerce Were to apply prin-cipally to Manchuria, ;

The two hours In the morningat the Congress grold mine up In theclouds of the Blue Tank mountains w.rareplcne with incidents and were thoroujrbrly enjoyed. An American Hag •.across the tunnel through which thepresident passed, and aft*r hi emerged hetold the little group of mm rs who con-gregated about the tiain that he bad seenOld Glory floating from tow*] and statehouse and warship in many differentplaces, but that never before during hislife had !».• seen the American flag 1,500f< . t under ground. The partup to the mouth, of the shaft, win.Bcended at un angle of thin3,100 feet into ihe mountain Thi presi-dent did not make the descent, but .ill ofthe m. ini>« rs of the cabiiretary Wilson w< ::t down in .the lowest level and witnesse i the drillingand blasting process. The j>..- [dent, ac-companied by President P, D. Gajthe mine, walked through a half miletunnel, lighted by candles, to the .--\u25a0taiiipmills, where eight) stain \u25a0 v.ing ore. They then Inspected the i . anid«works and saw r..*t a bar of gold worth$2".('fio. The president was mvi ii Interest*cd. and asked if h<_ could not see th*bar.

"I will show it," shouted one of themeltcrs, a man named Richmond. Slop-ping forward, and with the protectiononly of ;i lev. rags on his hands, hethe red hot mold and dump..! the whitehoi bar of glowing metal upon th< Ht.>n •.The rafrs were Ignited by the bi-ut andthe young man's h.inds were scorched,but he did r.< <t wince.

"That is the true American pluck,"'cried the president, advancing towardRichmond. "I want to shake yourhand."

He grasped the man's hand and shookit cordially.

On the way back to the train the presi-dent had a good view of the mlnlnscamp In .the vallc-y below.

The famous V\ilture mine, on one of the\u25a0pun ni the Vulture mountains, fortymiles away, was pointed out to the i>iv*.Ident.

Leaving the rich mining section In th«mountains 4,000 feet above Boa level, thotrain dropped down Inlto the green SaltRiver valley, with ita waving alfalfameadows and biff herds of cattle, ThfS

'Vftl',ey,4* sailed the gard' n spot of Aris-ona and wub reclaimed by Irrigation. Yea.terday, passing through New Mexico andtoday In Arizona, tho cow punchers atthe stops along the route inquired voci-ferously where "Teddy" was. Many ofthe vice president's rough rliU.-r.'i duringthe Spanish war were recruited. In thissection, ami th^ro wag much disappoint-ment that he was not in the party, j Otithe way to Phoenix the lire of one of thewheels cf the engine tender became loose*and for the first Urn«- Hiri<.<- the long jour-ney began, the telegrapher with the trainwas compelled to climb a telegraph poloto tap tint wire.

At Wickenburg, tho scene of the recentgold mine strike, the train was haltedlong enough to ip&rcnit the president toreceive a visit from the school children.The children presented Mrs. MdCinleywith a cabinet of specimens. The presi-dent thanked the children In Mrs. Mc-Kinley's behalf, and addressed thembrieily.

DEILAYED BY BREAKDOWN.The accident to the locomotive tender

delayed tho arrival of the train atPhoenix two hours and somewhat dis-arranged the programme there. Never-theless, the party received a rousingweicome. Gov. Murphy and th \u25a0 territor-ial officers hid met the pttrty at theC/>ngress mine and accompanied themback to Phoenix. At tho station the ter-

ritorial malltla, a company of cowbo>Bon bronchos and some of tho friendlyPiina anj Blarlcopa Indians Joinei Inthe wildly fnthuHiastlc reception. Thoparty was driven to the Adam.-i hotel forluncheon and afterward was escorted tothe territorial capltol, where the formalexercises took pJaoe.

Gov. Murpthy delivered an address ofwelcome, to • which the president ra-BPonded.

A drive afterward gave the presidenta chance to see the lnterostlng ruln3 ofthe ancient Aztec irrigation system. Atthe Indian Industrial school, four inll'-sfrom Phoenix, tho party had a glimpsoof what Is being done,, In the way ofeducation of the "wards of the nation. Apretty ceremony was enacted hero forthe benefit of the president. While anIndian band played "Hall Columbia," abeautiful Indian maiden In pantomlmopleading with a man dTesaed to rrpres>.ntUncle Sam for a statehood for the ter-ritory. At 5 o'clock this afternoon thopresidential party resumed its Journ»y.The departure was so timed that theColorado desert and old basin of the gulfof California below sea level and barrenof all vegetation would be traversed dur-ing the night.
