lie Meet! Eg of
Tke uaion -meeting of railroad
orders in this city Tuesday, some
mention of which was made in the
issue ot The Tribune of that day,
-proved to oe a pronounced success.
There, were delegates present from
each division station on main line
of the Union Pacific and also from
Denver and Ellis. Kansas. The
secret sessions held during the day
were well attended by members
.of the .orders other than delegates,
and' 'Ike addresses of the grand
cficers full of instruction and of
great interest. The union secret
session at theopera house during
the afternoon was particularly
interesting to the attendants, ad
dresses being made by four of the
grand officers present. At five
o'clock the" officers and delegates
were given a pleasant surprise by
the appearence of the Hamilton
Cadets, who gave an exhibition
drill at the hall ior the entereain
ment of the visitors. The Cadets
were loudly applauded, and that
tneir arm was appreciated; was
evidenced by the complimentary
reference made thereto bv the
grand officers at the public meet
ing held in the, evening,
wmie tne delegates were in ses
sion rat the opera house, the mem
bers of the ladies auxiliary to the
B. of Li, E., and others, sravea re
ception to the lady visitors at the
K. P. hall. The hall was tastefully
decorated with flowers and potted
plants, and the hours from 2 to
were most delightfully passed by
te fifty or more attending. .Light
refreshments wpre served, follow
ing which the ladies repaired to the
opera house and witnessed the drill
given by the Hamilton Cadets.
THE EVENING MEETING.
The union public meeting held at
the opera house in the evening was
attended by an audience which
nearly filled the seating capacity of
he large hall probably 600 beii
present The decorations in the
hall, mention of which was made in
Tuesday's issue, were so handsome
as to call forth, complimentary le-
Marksffeai everybody, "the ' grand
officers remarking' that the effect
was as beautiful as any they had
seen in their travels.
"W. J. Stuart presided as master
of ceremonies, and on the stagfe
with him were the grand officers.
prominent delegates, members of
the ladies auxiliary, officers of the
oca! lodges and several other citi
zens. The programme opened with
a selection by the orchestra, fol-
owed with an invocation by Chap-
ain Crusen. Judge Grimes, in be
half of the mayor, made the ad
dress of welcome. It was one of the
Judge's best efforts, and was as
hearty as it was interesting. A se-
ectiori by the Mandolin Club fol
owed, and then P. M. Arthur.
grand chief of the engineers, was
introduced. As hestepped forward
he was greeted with hearty ap
plause. Mr. Arthur spoke ior about
thirty minutes, giving the aims
and objects of the brotherhood of
engineers, the good it had accom
plished during the .thirty-five
years of its existence. The broth
erhood had not only maintained
good pay for the engineers, but it
had elevated the moral and social
status of its members. During its
existence it had paid out sixteen
million dollars to the families of its
members, thus insuring the widow
and orphans against the sufferings
of poverty. In the ladies' auxiliary
he recognized a band of willing
workers, the members of which
had been of much benefit to the
members of the B. of Xr. E. Mr.
Arthur in the early part ot his ad
dress complimented the Hamilton
Cadets upon the efficiency of the
drill given during the afternoon, as
did also thespeakers following him.
Miss Annie Connors gavea violin
solo, and the presiding officerintro
inced Frank P. Sargent, of the B.
of I. F. Mr. Sargent's remarks
were hrimfull of wit; he evidently
cannot help but be funny. He is a
ready talker, and his address was
very much appreciated. He talked
of the many good points possessed
by his organization, and knew that
firemen who were not members
made a mistake in not joining the
order.
Following a selection by the K
Quartette, A. B. Garrettsoh, of
the Order of Condactors made an
address. He is a Teady talker and
is also inclined to be humorous.
He said tkat all tke good which

WEDNESDAT'S'SESSION.
Wednesday forenoon the dele
gates held a session and discussed
the hospital department. Dr. Gal-
braith, chief surgeon of the Union
Pacific was present, but did not en-
ighten the delegates to much ex
tent in regard to the conduction of
the department in the past. The
question was discussed at length,
owever, by the delegates and it
was the unanimous desire that the-
hospital fund be continued. The
delegates however demand that a
Doara or directors tor tne con
trol ot the fund be electedand that
the employes have representation
upon the board. They favor acon-
tinuance of the monthly assessment
but desire a maximum limit for the
surplus, and when it Teaches above
that limit- no assessments shall be
made until the fund decreases to
that limit; or a plan whereby no
arge -surplus would be.created.

not a populist ticket; perish; the

The Tribune is not opposed to
the city appealing the waterworks
case to the supreme court and it
has not said a word against such
action. It has said, however, that
city attorney Parsons has stipu
lated away the very thing for which
the populists contend the question
of the five mill levy and is taking
the case up on two technicalities.
Parsons admits that if the city
owes the waterworks anything it
owes the full amount of the judg
ment. If it was stipulated in the
contract that the levy should Jbe five
mills and that, as the reformers
contend, good, men are willing to
swear that such was the case, why
did not Parsons raise that question
in the district court?
THUJLSTOir OV CTTA.
Washington, Thursday Senator
Thurston of Nebraska addressed
the senate to-day on the Cuban sit
uation. Like Senators Proctor and
Gallinger, he recently visited the
island.
Mr. Thurston is for war and did
not mince his wordsin declaringthat
congress should immediately take
the steps necessary to free Cuba.
He went for what he called the
money changers without gloves, his
reference to that class being-
couched in the following language:
Mr. President, against the in
tervention of the United States in
this'holy cause, there is but one
voice of dissent; that is the voice of
the moaey changers. They fear
war. not because of any Christian
or eaabbling sentiment against war
in favor of peace, but because they
fear that a declaration of war,
would have a depressing effect upon
the stock market
! do not-read my duty from the
ticker; I do not accept my lessons
in patriotism irom Wall street. I
deprecate war."
Tkea the senator weat on at
length to explain tkat war would

care what stock manipulators might
say, the United States had a duty
to perform in this emergency.
Mr. Thurston was in favor of do
ing everything to uphold the presi
dent and paid a glowing tribute to
his courage and sterling patriotism.
Referring to what he saw in Cuba,
Mr. Thurston remarked that before
he visited the unfortunate island he
was inclined to think that the re
ports of suffering and beggary had
been overdrawn.
"Not a bit," said he. '-The Amer
ican newspapers had presented ac
curate pictures of, the terrible
situation. " His speech to-day was,
he said, "by command of silent
lips. It will be remembered that
during his trip to Cuba Mrs. Thurs
ton died.
For twenty or more minutes the
senator told of the awful condition
of the people of Cuba. He was posi
tive the government ot Spain was
doings nothing to relieve the suffer
ing as not a dollar had been appro
priated by the Spaniards. Tke
relief extended was almost entirely
from the government and citiaens
of tke United States.
4-I say," exclaimed Mr. Thurston
"that the time has come when
muskets ought to go with the
food."
He next gave Spain a dig;by stat
ing that she professed to be a Chris
tian nation; had set np more crosses
in lands, beneath more skies and
under them had butchered more
people than all the other nations
on earth combined.
Mr. Thurston demanded that the
United States should take action
on the Cuban situation outside of
the Maine case. This was but a
secondary matter compared with
the other questions. If it was
shown that the skip was blown ap
by Spanish agencies, swift aad ter
rible punishment wonkl be adjadged
later oa. The senator hoped .and
believed tkat Caba weald "be free
