UNION PACIFIC STRIKE. .1Inclilnl*l« ltrl'iiMc to Accept u Plrce Work System Struggle to be He nnvcil I Kxtended. Oinahu, Neb., Jan. 31. —President Burt, of the Union Pacific railroad, on Friday met representatives of the striking shopmen of that system to continue the conferences begun in New York three weeks ago. Yester day's meeting resulted in the shop men leaving 1 without reaching a .set tlement and the strike will now con tinue and be extended over the South ern Pacific system. President McNeil, of the National Association of Boilermakers, was spokesman for the strikers and told President, Hurt that a thorough can vass of the strikers had been made, with the result that they unanimous ly agreed that they could not accept the piece work system. President Hurt replied that the men could return to work under no other condition, and regretted that the men would not give the system a trial. The conference lasted 15 minutes. President McNeil stated that no plan had yet been arranged for action on the Southern Pacific, as it had been expected that it would be un necessary to bring the men on that system into the strike, and he added that such action might be deferred, lie said there would be no further conference with President Hurt at present. Thomas L. Wilson, fourth vice president of the .Machinists' union, said the American Federation of La bor will be asked to take a hand, and that the strike would be carried on more vigorously than ever. NEW GERMAN TARIFF. Consul General Union Minna How It Injuriously AIIVI IN Our Trade. Washington, Jan. 31. —Information of much value to exporting interests concerning German trade is contained in a report to the state department by United States Consul General Ma son. at Herlin. Mr. Mason points out that the date on which the new tariff act is togo into operation will de pend on the time occupied in arrang ing new commercial treaties, whicu lis places at from 12 to 18 months, thus bringing the new law into effect somewhere between January and July. I'JO4. Mr. Mason analyzes the act tersely, showing how it will af fect the future import trade of Ger many from the United States unless meanwhile modified by a reciprocity treaty. Especially significant, he says, are the largely increased duties on grain and cereal products, tluit on wheat, rising from the minimum rate of 80 cuts to $1.75 per 100 kilograms. The duty on horses, now uniform at $4.75 per head, rises to a figure varying from s2l to SSS. Hicycles instead of paying $9.52 will pay $35.70 per 100 kilograms. Similar increases are re ported in other important staple ex ports from the United States, such as shoes, lumber, machinery, railroad apparatus, and railway material. A BAD OFFICER. The Major ol' SUM Juan, Forto Itlco, IN Charged with Kinbczzlciiir lit. Sail Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. 31. —Gov. Hunt in issuing an executive order on Thursday removing the mayor of San Juan, Manuel Kgozcue, from office, said he was in possession of further proofs of that official's negligence and wrong doing. Criminal action against the mayor is still pending. In the meanwhile there is consterna tion in certain circles at the firm stand taken by the governor and At torney General llarlan. The latter's letter to the governor, containing a masterly indictment covering Kgoz cue's entire career, has been com mended by the federal press. The attorney general in his letter shows that the city lost $95,157 in on*; item of expenditure and says ho found that the fraud and gross inca pacity in every department of the city government was so extraordinary that it is difficult to find a similar in stance in the history of municipal mis management. A TEST CASE. Will l>e drought to Deride the Fate of Fifty Convicts. Joliet, 111., Jan. 31.—An alleged technicality in the criminal code may free 50 Illinois convicts, confined for manslaughter or criminal assault. It is asserted that there is no statute authorizing punishment for thes* crimes. A test case will be tried soon in the Will county court by applica tion for a writ of habeas corpus. In 1895 the Illinois legislature passed the indeterminate sentence law for all felonies except murder and treason and repealed all incon sistent laws. The next session of the legislature took manslaughter and criminal assault from the list of pen alties punishable under the indeter minate sentence act, anil ft>r these crimes fixed a definite period. It is contended that the indeterminate sentence law repealed all other laws applying to these crimes and that the following act struck them from the code altogether. Schooner altd Flic I.lves l.ost.

Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 29. —A disastrous collision occurred on the Southern Pacific railroad early yesterday morn ing between two passenger trains. The wreck occurred near Vailsburg, Ariz., 17 miles east of this city, and details as to the cause are difficult to obtain. Both trains at full speed came together with a terrific crash. The engines and cars were piled up in a mass and immediately took tire from the exploding oil tanks of the engines. The flames were communi cated to the cars, eleven of which were consumed. Following is a list of the dead, as far as obtainable at this hour: J. M. Hilton, Cambridge, Mass. J. W. Bruce, engineer. { W. R. Wilkey, engineer. George McGrath, fireman. Sixteen dead unidentified. ! Seriously injured: Frederico Romero, Juarez, Mex. 11. W. Hartman, Saginaw, Mich. 'Frederick Donahue, Battle Creek, Mich. Ben Sawyer, mail clerk. A. B. Silverton, New Y'ork. G. S. Gilbert, fireman. P.en Bradsford, Mayhill, N. Y. Among the injured are also S. F. GHdden, Cambridge, Mass., and Dr. Meyers, Springfield, Ohio. Manager Aglar said: "Telegrams received from Tucson say that the collision took place before light this morning and it was caused by the negligence of the telegraph operator at Esmond, a station 14 miles east of Tucson. The westbound train, called the Sunset Limited, was two hours late. The eastbound train was the Crescent City express, which left the Oakland Mole at 10 o'clock Monday morning." Superintendent Stoufee, of the Tuc son division, exonerates Kngineers Bruce and Wallace, as well as Con ductors Scriven and Parker, who, ho says, did their duty. He places the entire responsibility upon Operator Clough. Tucson, Ariz., Jan. 30.—The coro ner's jury empanelled by Coroner Culver viewed the remains of 14 vie- j tlms of Wednesday's disaster on the Southern Pacific near Yail's Station. The death list numbers 24 and event ually may reach 35. Identification was difficult and the body of ,T. M. j Hilton was the only one identified with certainty. Other remains are being taken from the ruins. It ap pears to lie impossible to ascertain the names of many of the victims. The total injured as far as heard from number 47. A WARM DEBATE. Senators Ilu Willi* anil Bcvcrldtie l lnsti In the Senate Oiumber. Washington, Jan. 29. —A sharp de bate was precipitated in the senate yesterday when Mr. Rawlins called up his resolution offered Tuesday, di recting the secretary of war to fur nish the senate the proceedings of a number of courts martial in the Phil ippines. In the course of his re marks Mr. Rawlins referred to the death of Father Augustin and said he was murdered in cold blood. This aroused the ire of Mr. Beveridge, who demanded specifically to know who had committed the cold blooded mur der. Mr. Carmack entered the debate and characterized the charge, which, he said, repeatedly had been made that the democrats were assailing tin army as the "meanest and dirtiest" of any that had been made against the party. Mr. Proctor defended Captain Cornelius M. Brownell, who had been mentioned In the Rawlins resolution as being resposible for Father Augustin's death. Investigation t'onel tided. Boston, Jan. 29.—The investigation of the New Kngland coal situation by the committee on merchant marine and fisheries of the national house of representatives, which was begun here last Monday, was concluded yes terday. Members of the committee state that the hearing proved satis factory, especially in establishing the fact that a combination has existivl between coal operators to raise prices. The testimony yesterday de veloped evidence showing that coal costing from $5.00 to $0.50 a ton had been sold at from sl2 to slt>. 'l'rello 1M « u|itiired. Pittsburg, Jan. 28. —Angelo Trello, the Italian, who it is alleged shot two men in Clairton late Sunday night was captured Tuesday by a posse of Clairton citizens, in a camp occupied by foreigners near Clairton.

London, Jan. 30.—Great Britain, Germany and Italy have sent a joint reply to Minister Bowen refusing: to accept the proposal that all thu countries having' claims against Ven ezuela should be placed on an equal ity with t'he three co-operating pow ers. Washington, Jan. 30.—There was a pause in the Venezuelan negotiations yesterday that approached perilously near a breach and the end is not yet in sight. It all grows out -of the at titude of the allies in insisting upon preferential treatment for themselves in the settlement of their claims. As foreshadowed in the London dis patches, Mr. liowen has been in formed of the. decision of the allies to insist upon adhering to this claim and he has come to a stand iu his work for the moment. Venezuela's plight at this moment lies in the fact that she is between two fires. The allies demand prefer ential treatment, while France and other creditors look .to Venezuela for fair treatment, pointing out that to discriminate against their claims when their attitude had been corrupt and even magnanimous, would not be fair treatment. The Venezuelan situation, especial ly the attitude of Germany, was dis cussed by the senate committee on military affairs yesterday and the situation influenced the committee on some matters pertaining to the army appropriation bill, among which was the decision to accept the house provision relating to trans ports so that they would be retained in the service. The committee also provided for an increase of electricians, skilled gun ners, machinists and sergeants and others who take care of and handle guns in sea coast defenses. The discussion was general and earnest and the conclusion reached was that the LTnited States should make it plain that the honor and dig nity of the country would be main tained, and that Germany should not be allowed to "bluff" the government by any attitude she might assume. Washington, Jan. 31. —The Eu ropean allies have not yet answered Minister Bowen's propositiou made several days ago that there shall be no preference of claims of Great Bri tain, Germany and Italy against Ven ezuela over those of other nations. Mr. Bowen has addressed a note to the allies which might be regarded as an ultimatum. He said to the al lies that if they persisted in their de termination to receive preferential treatment he would call together the other creditor nations to protest against the nllies' demands. MINERS' CONVENTION. ITlr. .Tllteliell I* He-elected President —He port* of Oeleii*e Fund und ill* Jiilietlon Committees—Au lnereu*e in Mage* Demanded. Indianapolis, Jan. 27. —The report of the tellers on the recent election of national officers of the United Mine Workers, by the recently taken referendum vote was made Monday, showing that John Mitchell, who had no opposition for president, received 55,032 votes and W. B. Wilson, who had no opposition for secretary-treas urer, received 56,251 votes. Vice President T. L. Lewis, of Ohio, was re-elected over T. D. Nicholls, of Pennsylvania. Tiie special committee on defense fund recommended the establishment of a large defense fund, but did not deem it advisable at this time to es tablish a national fund. Owing to the unorganized condition of the miners in many of the districts, it was thought best to continue the ten cents per month assessment for an other year. The committee advo cated that each district accumulate and maintain a fund until it becomes sufficiently large to meet any crisis. The report of the special commit tee on injunction went into the his tory of the operation of injunctions and after •showing the abuses to which the injunction had contrib uted, recommended that President Mitchell appoint a committee of two togo to Washington and use its in fluence to secure the passage of the anti-injunction bill. Indianapolis, Jan. 2S.—The mine workers completed their business and adjourned yesterday. The convention has been the most harmonious ever held. Many important measures have been acted upon. Among them are the formulation of the demand for an increase of wages of 12'/ a cents flat per ton on a run-of-mine basis and a flat differential of seven cents per ton between pick and machine mined coal.
