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.

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.

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. COLLEGES RELAY ENTRIES.
