In the article ad vocating Mr. Flower's qualities for the office, the Argus says: "Mr. Flower Is not a seeker after the Democratic nomination, and whether he would accept it at this time when the prospect, it must he conceded, Is not the best, is a question which the j Argus cannot answer. It Is not be ! lleved that he could refuse the call of j the party that has repeatedly honored I him In the past."

IS DO UN ON THE DhTXKAKDS No Maa Has a Might to Step on a l oco motive With Human Lives In Uia Keeping When Intoxicated Good of Labor Organizations. ' Port Jervls. N. Y.. April 12. One thousand engineer from the several divisions of the Brotherhood of Loco motive. Knglneera on the Erie, Jersey Central, West Shore, Delaware. Lacka wanna and Western, Erie and Wyom ing Valley and Fall Brook railroads and all the elevated railroads of New York city, held a grand union meeting in the opera house here this afternoon. Three special trains, one from Scranton, one from Hornellsvllle and one from Jersey City, supplied by the Erie com pany, carried the delegates to and from this place. Among the prominent railroad offi cials present were Superintendent of Motive Power Mitchell, of the Erie; George West, superintendent of motive power of the Ontario and Western; Superintendent Maguire, of the East ern division of the Erie, and Frank S. Gannon, superintendent of the Staten Island railroad. Others present were Shandy Maguire, poet engineer of Os wego, N. Y., and "Uncle Ben" Hafner, of Port Jervis, the oldest locomotive engineer in the United States: also the clergy of the village, Mayor Carly and the board of village trustees. Clark Caskey, chief engineer of division 64, of Port Jervls, presided and the speakers were Judge N. B. fullerton, of Port JervlB; Grand Chief Engineer P. M. Arthur, of Cleveland; Rev. M. Salley, rector of St. Mary's Roman Catholic church, of Port Jervia. ARTHUR'S SPEECH. Chief Arthur was greeted with a storm of cheers when he rose to speak. He said in part: What the country needs is a closer touch between tho employer and employee; there is too wide a gulf between thern. One of the alms of our order is to bring them closer together. We desire to put an end to the antagonism between capi tal and labor and we shall do that when the employer and employe alike live up to the spirit of the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." When we educate men to that standard, where they recognize that oth ers have rights which we are bound to re spect, the problem is solved. Let me tell you cf some of the things accomplished by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. We have given railroad companies a more reliable and trustworthy class of engineers than they had before. We have code rules as to sobriety, etc., which our men are compelled to live up to or be discharged In all its history of thirty-three years our order never countenanced a dishonorable or unlawful act by Its members. Last year 372 men were discharged from the order for intoxication. I hold that no man has the right to step on a locomotive with human lives In keeping while under the influence of liquor, and no punish ment Is too sever for one who does no We are trying to rid the railroad servioe of unreliable men. In 1U3 -1 was em ployed as an engineer on a neighboring railroad at Soil a, month, firemen got (30 and conductors $40. We drew up a pe tition to the managers, couched In re spectable language for more pay. What do you think they did. They tore It up and ordered us all discharged. Ten years later the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers forwarded another petl tltiou which was drawn up by the same men and was addressed to the same man agers. The petition was granted and tho engineers' pay was raised to $3,50 a day and the firemen's in proportion. Here let me say that In all Its transactions with the railroad corporations we have never forgotten the firemen. We looked upon them as a pari of ourselves and in advo cating our claims advocated theirs until they effected an organization of their own and transacted their own business In their own way. The Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers has .protected its members from unfair and arbitrary dismissals; has saved many a man from a drunkard's fate to be a comfort to his family and mi honor to the community. It has paid S3.niio.oiXl in death benefits and over half a million dollars to needy members, MISTAKEN PREJUDICE. There Is much mistaken prejudice against labor organizations. If the com mercial, moneyed and professional classes organize to promote and conserve their Interests, why should not worklngmen. I know that unprincipled and bad men sometimes get at the head of labor or ganizations, but an organization based on good principles, conducted by honest men for. good ends. Is the hope of the toiling masses throughout the world. Hut you say our order has had strikes. I ad mit It, and under the same circumstances we would strike again. I say, without fear of contradiction, that had the rail road managers met us in the same spirit of fairness that we met them there would have been no strikes. When corporations are arbitrary, self-willed ami stubborn. Instead of being fair, then the only hope of labor is in coercion within the bounds of . the law, and If they cun supply our places we must retire. .Today our or gnnlzatlon Is on the best terms with the railroads, as evinced by the .presence here of . so many railroad officials, and the favors and the courtesies extended in con nection with this meeting. We want every engineer to do his full duty to his employer, then to stand erect in his man hood with the full consciousness of his equality with every other man. Chief Arthur also addressed a large union meeting at the Methodist church tonight. INGERSOLL'S SERMON. The Great Orator Addresses the Congre ' gallon of a Chicago Church. Chicago, April 12. Robert G. Inger soll this morning addressed the con gregation of the Church Militant, com posed of the major portion of the form er adherents of the Fullerton Avenue Presbyterian church, one of the strongest congregations of that de nomination in the city, and who, with their pastor, Rev. Dr. John Rusk, branched off Into an Independent or ganization some months since as a re sult of opposition of the minority of the congregation to the introduction of radical changes In the conduct of the services, including the use of an Instru mental orchestra and the attachment to the church of employment, hospital, club house and other guilds. As Colonel Ingersoll stepped to the rostrum, he waa welcomed with ap plause that lasted for over a minute. With the suggestion that whllo his hearers and himself might be traveling different roads, they were all trying to add to human Joy and happiness, he took as his text the quotation from Shakespeare, whom he characterized ts "the greatest of human beings," "there is no darkness but ignorance," and for two hours spoko upon the ne cessity of arbitration t. a substitute for war, the need for new methods in the treatment of criminals, the desirability of the occupancy, of the prairies of the west for homes as a panacea for ten ement systems, the question of divorce, the relations of capital and labor and the need of reform in the education of children. When he concluded, the applause was loud and long continued, many of those In the foyer waving their handkerchief! and hats. THE NEWS THIS MORNING.

Gnmex In the Vicinite of the Puerto Principe-Available Spanish Troops on the Lookout for Macco. Havana, April 12. via Key West. Fla,. April 12. The insurgent forces operat ing In many parts of the island have been aggressive the last week. Half a dozen towns in Havana province alone have been attacked. The troops Invariably remain safely cooped up In forts, allowing the rebels full swing. All available Spanish troops are sta tioned on the trocha, between Martel and Majana to prevent the return of Maceo to Havana. The Spaniards are satisfied Maceo Is doomed. The Cu bans say he can cross when he pleases. The Spaniards have 25,ooo men along the line. Maceo has 10.000 In his column: 6.000 others are west and about 6,000 east of the line. Aside from these opera tions, 3.000 Insurgents have appeared fifteen miles east of Havana. Their purpose is not i dear. Gomez is report ed In the vicinity of the Puerto Prin cipe line. One object of his march east Is to receive arms and ammunition safe ly landed on the recent trip of the Commodore on the north coast of Cainaguey. Reports received from vellable sources state that General Melguizo, Colonels Molina and Tort, und others continue killing peaceable Cubans. Mel guizo is said to have killed nine em ployes on estates in the vicinity of Campo Florldo. Afterward boasting of the deed, he said: "The pacifies are the worst kind of rebels. All should be swept off." NO CUBAN INTERVENTION. The Administration Has Not Agreed oa Any Definite Plan. Washington, April 12. The report to the effect that Secretary cf State Olney had addressed to United States Minis ter Taylor at Madrid a long note con taining a proposition to be submitted to the Spanish government for the set tlement of the Cuban question, and of fering the services of the United States government as a mediator between the governments of Spain and Cuba, is ab solutely untrue and without any foun dation In fact. No proposition of the character men tioned or any other has been put lu writing, nor has the administration outlined any definite plan of action or indicated to the Spanish minister in Washington, the American minister at Madrid, or any other official what ac tion, If any, it proposes to take looking to the settlement of the Cuban ques tion. Secretary Olney has authorized the most sweeping, complete, and em phatic denial of the whole story, and so has the Spanish minister. The report was based altogether on rumors that have been Moating about Washington for the past two or three days, and the falsity of which could have easily been ascertained upon ap plication to the proper authorities. The truth Is that the president and Secre tary Olney have not completed their In vestigation of the Cuban question, and they do not themselves know what their Cuban policy is or will be. E1)W. DA1!

TWO MURDERERS ESCAPE v Bill and George 1i lor Under D ath Sentence Break Jail. BILL IS CAPTURED AT ONCE Discovered by the Night Wstchwsn-A . Pair of Blood Hounds Have Been Placed oa the Trail of the Fugitive. Carrollton. Mo.. April 12.-BIU and George Taylor, murderers of the Meeks) family, sentenced to be hanged April 30, ami Lee Cunningham, the latter also in Jail, made, an attempt to break Jail last night. George succeeded in getting way, but Bill Taylor and Cun ningham were captured. Night Watch man Shel'.on was In the Jail at 8.20 and everything was all right. He went out in the back yard and was talk ing to a friend, when he heard a noise at the opposite corner of the Jail. He rushed to that aide, reaching there Just In time to catch Cunningham aa he slid down a hose to the ground. BUI Taylor waa half way down and when hemaw Cunningham was caught he cried to the night watchman that he would give up and for him not to shoot. He then slid on down to the ground into Shelton'a arms. He told Shelton that George was still on the roof. Shelton believed him and stood guard there to ca-ch him as he came down. The alarm was given and Sheriff Stanley came out, handcuffed the two prisoners together, and took them, and looked them in their cells. PLAN OF ESCAPE. A search was made and It was discov ered that George had gone. Bill had evidently told the watchman that George waa still upstairs In order to give him a chance to get away. An examination of tha Jail revealed the fact that a bolt had been cut In the back of one of the cells and a bar knocked off. Next they went up on top of the cage, up into the garret, out through the scuttle onto the roof. They took a fifty-foot hose with them, fast ened it on top of the roof and George Taylor must have been the first to go down, as no opportunity was given to get down after the night watchman discovered their attempt to escape. As soon as It was found that George was gone a pair of hounds were se cured and they were put on the trail, They followed it to the back gate, but mad no progress beyond to amount to anything. Young Leonard, of Norborn, a brother-in-law of one of the Tay lors, was here yesterday. After supper he took a team out of a livery stable. and drove out of town. He may have stopped at the jail gate and taken George In the buggy with him, but this is all conjecture. Parties) are out looking for George and telegrams have been sent in every direction, GERMANY AXD ITALY. Coming Conference of the Kings of the Two Countries Will Be of the Highest Importance. Berlin, April 12. The programme of the movements of the emperor in Yen ice as received here last night fixed the official exchange of visits between the kaiser and King Humbert for today, which formal visits are to be followed by an Interview between the two mon archs, the highest members of the Ital ian ministry, the Italian ambassador to Germany and the German ambassador to Italy. The semi-official press here do not deny that the conference will be of the highest Importance. It is not alone Intended to establish a complete entente between Germany and Italy upon affairs, known to alt the world, wherein the common Interest of the Dreibund is concerned, but the less obvious question of the papal succes sion after passing away of the pope will be the most delicate question dis cussed. Although the pope is still hale and shows no diminution of his ability to conduct the affairs of his office, it is not deemed premature in view of the advanced age of the pontiff to form a concert of action with the aim of ob taining the election of a successor to his holiness, who will be favorable to the interests of the Dreibund, and leBS inclined to democracy, as well as less friendly to France than the pope. After the conference between the monarchs, ministers and ambassadors, there will be a gala dinner at the royal palace. In the evening there will be night fetes on the grand canal. Prince Hohenlohe will meet the em peror In Vienna on Tuesday. The Aus trian ambassador here will go to Vien na to take part in the conference which will be held during the emperor's two days' stay at the Austnan capital. Th presence of the Austrian ambassador in Vlennn upon tnis occasion is re garded as further proof that grave po litical matters are engaging the atten tion of the powers comprising the Drei bund.
