The count of the ballots In the Me-
Atec-Gorliam raso dragged along wearily
all day yesterday and ccems likely to do
the same thing for a week to come. The
process through which Judge McGee Is going
Is a laborious one. but when It la once done
the chances nre that it will not have to
be done over again. He takes up each bal
lot , hands It to the stiort hand reporter ,
who marks It with n number as an exhibit.
The judge then takes It uguln , Muds out
who It IK for. and tells the short hand re
porter , who makes a note of It In the record.
Judge .McOee keeps his own score. As maybe
bo readily understood , this takes longer than
It would to throw the whole outfit out of
the window , and yesterday afternoon , after
counting for two days , only three of the
twelve prreclncts had been completed.
While counting the ballots In the second
precinct of the First ward another gain of
ono was discovered for McAtee. Among
the Gorlinm ballots was found one which
had crosses opposite the names of both Gor-
Imrn nnd Ktnnehan , so It had to be thrown
out entirely. This precinct , so Shea says ,
was counted carefully by both himself and
Saundcrs three times on the first recount.
One striking peculiarity of the discoveries
made on this recount Is the fact that nil the
mistakes made on the first recount were In
Gorham'8 favor , so that McAfee's attorneys
could not have had quite so many lynx eyes
ns Gorham's. At the present rate enough
mistakes will be found by the time thu count
Is completed to seat McAtee several times
over.

Elder D. F. Stout , missionary of the
Church of > Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ,
who is making a temporary abode In Council
Bluffs , objects to the statement made by
Rev. Mr. Williams , and , as the lattor's say
was given n place In The Bee , Mr. Stout
desires to be bet right. With honors easy
the discussion can now end so far as The
Bee Is concerned :
COUNCIL HLUFFS. May 15. To the
Editor of The Bee : Sly attention has been
called to an article In your Issue of May
13 over the name of T. W. Williams tbut
contains some very misleading statements.
I beg your kind Indulgence for u brief
reply. The Information or presumption
that calls forth Mr. Williams' article Is In
correct. No tiue lepresentatlve of the
Church of Jestm Christ of Latter Day
Saints would assert that no differences
exist "between the respective churches , "
except that the organization of which AVI1-
ford Woodruff la president possesses true
divine authority , while the reorganized
church IH destitute thereof , although we
admit that such Is the chief distinction.
What Mr. Williams terms "the mistakes
of Mormonlsm" can neither directly nor
Indirectly be traced to "the usurpations of
Brlgham Young. " That Bleat man led the
church In perfect accord with the example ,
Instructions and prophecies of Joseph the
Seer , doctrlnally and geographically.
The statement that "there Is as wide n
difference between the respective churches
ns there Is between Protestantism nnd
Mormonlsm" is substantially correct.
While we are the same empire and temple
building people we weie In the days of
Joseph the Seer the reorganized church
presents no sttlklng practical contrast with
any of the ordinary sects of Christendom.
The effort to show the world that a dis
tinction exists between the two churches
Beems superfluous. Of all the opposition
we have met from the sects of Christen
dom , that springing from the leaders of
the reorganized church has been the most
malignant nnd unscrupulous. One of them
In n public speech In Chicago vlllllled the
women of Utah in a manner utterly un
becoming the dignity of a Christian minis
ter or gentleman. It was at least re
ported so In the press. Another in R
speech In Council Bluffs several years ago
boasted of having labored assiduously to
Bring about the result achieved In the
passage of the Edmunds-Tucker bill ,
wherein our church property was confis
cated , a measure which statesmen of all
parties now agree was hasty nnd 111 ad
vised. This ought to disabuse the public
mind of any suspicions of friendliness on
their part toward the people of Utah.
As a rule I have been kindly treated by
the laity of the reorganized church. I tie-
slro especially to acknowledge the courtesy
of the elders nnd members of that church
at Crescent In allowing us the use of their
neat , well furnished house of worship in
which to hold services.
The closing sentiment of Mr. Williams I
heartily reciprocate. In his laudable
efforts to reclaim us from error I promise
to exchange two errors for one truth so
long ns he can point out errors In our
teachings and so long ns he may present
truths of which we nre destitute. Very
respectfully , p. F. STOUT.

started. They expected to stop at Pony

A Ilnnio liniir.mco Company ,
"Thero Is something well worthy of pub
lic pride In the remarkable growth and pros
perity of the Council Bluffs Insurance com
pany , " said a business man yesterday. "No
western company whoso reports I have seen
begins to compare with It In the volume of
bii8lne.ru transacted or In the ratio of
growth , and It is the record breaker for
prompt payment of lapses. It ought to be
a matter of pride , as It Is certainly n duty ,
for every Council Bluffs citizen to encourage
such Institutions ns this by throwing nil
the business he cnn In their way. When
there Is a positive guaranty against loss ,
when there Is the assurance of prompt pay
ment of any just claim , nnd when this pro
tection coats no more than any other , there
sho'.ild bo no hesitancy in leaving the In
surance premium money nt home. The great
growth the company Is enjoying Is proof
that the majority of the people feel that
way , nnd that's the way to build up a city-
keep every dollar possible at home. "

CLEVELAND , May'lu. -Tha consensus of
opinion among miners > and operators today
before the conference met was that the meet
ing would result In naught. The conference
convened at 2 o'clock in Case hall. Thr
scale committee of miners met In Hank
street hall at 10 o'clock and tlie operators
assembled In , conference at the WcJdcll housa
at 11 o'clock. The Illinois operators and n
part of the Plttsburg district arc not repre
sented In the conference , so that whatever
terms , If any , may b3 agreed upon must be
ratified by the absentees before they become
effective. Therefore a contingent clause will
bo the only thing that will prevent the con *
ferencs being an utter failure.
The miners appear lo be firmly united for
the mutual interest of nil. Secretary Me-
Ilrldo says their motto Is and will continue
to be "Ono for All and All for One. " If one
section goes to work all will go to work and
under no other conditions can the unions be
operated. What Is the concern of one Is tha
concern of all. The men feel that right nnd
Justice areon their side and that defeat can
come only as the result of treachery to them
selves.
The scale committee In its report has en
deavored to adjust differences In rales for
mining In a manner lo work no Injustice to
the mines of one section as compared with
another. The demand Is for the wages paid
before the reductions were made last fall
and winter. In a general way the scale
provides for thu following rates : Ohio , 70 to
85 cents ; Pennsylvania , CC to 75 cents ; In
diana , 70 to 75 cents ; central Pennsylvania ,
50 cents ; Illinois , GO to 85 cents ; Maryland ,
50 cents , and West Virginia about the tame ,
of the miners at work In that state decide to
join the movement. Of course , Ohio , Penn
sylvania , Indiana and Illinois are the Im
portant states. Reductions have been made
In all except Illinois , but If the miners In
that state had desired to work after May 1
they would have been compelled to accept a
20 per cent reduction.
The nearer the hour for the opening of
the meeting approached the greater the
complications appeared , and , as one promi
nent Pennslyvnnla operator put It , "they
have already brought up subjects sufficient
to keep the conference In session a month. "
The corridors at the Weddell house were
thronged with coal operators during the
entire day until the conference was called
to order. Innumerable caucuses nnd dis
cussions were held , while the air was filled
with rumors of every Conceivable kind.
Two Important meetings were held during
the morning and nt noon the members
were still In session. They were composed
of Pennslyvanla operators , some represDnt-
ing the river men exclusively , and others
were termed "the river and rail" operators.
What agreement they may reach Is still
problematical. One of 'the many rumors
that circulated about the Weddell house
during the morning was that John Mc-
Drlde had held a conference with the river
men on the subject of a compromise. Un
doubtedly some sucH conference was had ,
but the result. If result there bs , was
kept sealed within ' 'the' breasts of the
members.
The principal topic qf Interest during
the morning was the. probable attitude of
the Pennslyvania operators. Mr. Alexander
II. Dempster of Plttsburg , who for many
years has been president of the big con
ferences between operators and miners , and
who Is regarded as.one. of the clearest
headed and best posted , 'tnen in the assem
blage , -was interviewed on this subject by
a representative of itho. Associated press.
Mr. Dempster will not bo the president of
this convention , however1 , " and that fact is
Itself significant of thV situation.
"Will the Pennsylvania men go Into the
convention ? " Mr. Dempster was asked.
"Yes. "
"How long will they stay ? "
"I can't say. "
"What Is the attitude of the Pennsylvania
men ? "
"Their attitude Is the same as it has al
ways been. They have decided that they
will not treat with Mr. McBrlde on any
thing like a national basis. Mr. McDrldo
has declared that he will not abide by a
decision on any other grounds. Now , then ,
it is a question of what he will concede , If
anything. He must concede something or
the convention will fall from the start. "
| "Do you think the convention will be able
i to come to anything like a harmonious
. agreement ? "
| "It Is Impossible to say as to that until
j we get into the convention. The situation
at present is as complicated as could be
imagined. "
| "Do you know anything about Mr. Mc-
Brlde's conference with the river men ? "
j "You will have to talk with Mr. E. J.
i Wood about that. "
"Did you have any conference with him ? "
"No , sir. "
Mr. Wood refused to say anything about
the McDrldo conference.
Mr. Oiborne of the Osborne Coal com
pany said : "There Is no chance I can nee
of anything like a settlement of this ques
tion within a day or two at least , In fact
I do not see how they can ever reach a
settlement on a national basis.
i "Tho Pennsylvania operators stand ready
to treat with the miners ns a state at any
time. They do not propose to allow Nevada
miners or Ohio miners , or anybody else to
fix a wage schedule for themselves , for they
do not believe It can bo done. "
A rumor that coal had fallen 50 cents a
ton In Chicago today and boats were bring
ing coal down the lakes caused quite a stir
among the operators at the Weddell. Ono
West Virginia operator for the Moundsvllle
district declared that it would be up $1 be
fore It fell $1 , however.
One curious thing about the gathering at
the Weddell was the fact that all the Pltts
burg and Illinois men who had 'fought
against Cleveland as the place for the con
ference now compose a majority of those In
attendance , while the West Virginia people ,
who , it Is said , McDrlde most desires to
bring Into line , are the men who are making
' nil the money out of the situation. There
has so far been little talk as to the chair
manship of the convention. Mr. Dempster ,
it Is known , will not net and Colonel Ilend
of Chicago , whom the miners would probably

(
BRAZIL , Ind. , May 15" . The operators In
the block coal fields do not propose to be
governed by the action , } of the Cleveland
conference. Said S. A. Mclntosh , a promi
nent operator , today : "Tho block coul oper
ators are preparing to loftk up their mines
for two years , if necessary , and wq really
I believe such a step will 'bo necessary. The
Ohio and Pennsylvania operators Inveigled

a few days ago and nburly ruined us. These
two states fixed the scale'for all the states ,

superior numbers. Thfy m k our mining
scale obmit 10 cents higher tlmn Ihoy pay ,
which , considering their coal brings 10 cents
more In n market that they reach as cheaply
as wo do , has i'c effect of freezing us out.
It Is a schemu that the block npenitors da
not propose to be ilrnun Into. We will lot
the eastern states settle with their men
and wo will fU our scale so na to do Justlco
to ourselves. If this is Impossible , wn will
close our mines until It Is possible. Not u
representative of the operators of the block
coal field attended the convention. "

Decision of lima Mlnrri to SlrlUo Only Af
fects Continues.
DBS MOIN'KS , May 15. ( Special Tele
gram to Thn lice. ) The decision of the Polk
county coal miner ! ) to Join In the general
strike caused alarm all over the city. Con I
operators do not seem to mind It so much
as large consumers , such as the electric light
works , brick yards and various mills. One
operator said today that he was In favor of
standing firm and giving the miners the
same medicine they nro trying to force upon
their employers. There docs not appear to
bo any disposition on the part of the opor-
utora to yield. They say they nre not In It ;
that this matter must be regulated by the
miners thcmselvci , ns It Is now a general
strike over the state. They say they can
better afford to let their mlnei stand Idle
during the slack months than hlra nidi at
the big wages demanded when there Is no
market for coal. The miners nre getting
their committee organization In shape for a
determined stay out until the prices de
manded $1 in winter and 90 cents in sum
mer months are conceded.

existing between the Great Northern Hall
way company nnd Its employes growing out

committee was unanimously 'adopted. ' It
provides for the restoration of the salaries
of certain employes of the company In ac
cordance with the original proposition , and
also that all classes of employes should be
taken back to work except those charged
with the destruction of property or who are
In the hands of the law.
