RUMOR OF GENERAT STRIKE Sonic Talk of Trouble In Biillillnit Circle * , but Little to Substantiate It. The meeting of the Building Trades' coun cil was void of anticipated results Thursday evening. It was rumored during the evening that the council might adopt resolutions de claring a general strike in support of the carpenters , and It was also said that the council might make a proposition to the car penters looking to a compromise of the mat ter. But nothing was done beyond to stand by the carpenters , for the time being at lensU The contractors and the executive commit tee of the carpenters held meetings last even- Ing. The contractors transacted no business. At the meeting of the executive committee It was reported that but twenty-five men be longing to the union arc Idle. It Is estimated that eo far about 125 men belonging to all unions are out of work on account of the walkout of the carpenters. At the meeting of the contractors It was reported authori tatively that union pfumbers were working with non-union men upon a certain job In the olty. At the Labor itemplo all knowl edge of such actions on the part of the union men was denied. During the mooting of the _ Bulldlng Trades' council one flrai of contractors was declared unfair on account of Us activity In the present controversy and politics. At the mooting of the executive commit tee of ttho carpenters the following etato- ment relative to the walkout was prepared for the general public : OMAHA , Sept. 21. During the last two weeks it has been frequently stated by the press' that the Carpenters' union was on a strike. Such not being the case we wish to set the. ipubJio right on our position. During the entire season , quite a large per cent of the carpenters have been re ceiving 32',4. 35 and 40 cents per hour. Local union , No. 427 , established a scale of 35 cents per hour and part of the contractors refused to pay the same , while others paid it and kept their -men at work. The union carpenters have been ready to work for any man that would pay union wages at all times. Had there been a strike of the Carpen ters' union no man would have been al lowed to go to work. At the present time there are at least three-fourths of the men working at the union scale of 35 cents per hour and more are being : set at work every day. C. B. SPARKS , F. P. COCHRAN , Secretary.

ST. LOUIS , Sept. 21 , Atter two days of spocchmaking the governors , attorneys gen eral and other state representatives who have been holding a conference here on the Invitation of Governor Bayers of Texas adopted resolutions outlining the legislation needed to control the so-called trusts and combines and adjourned sine die. The recommendations embodied worn agreed to after a long session of the com mittee on resolutions. So widely divergent were the views presented for Us considera tion that It was after midnight when the committee was nblo to arrive at any con clusion. The whole matter was then re ferred to a subcommittee composed of Gov ernor McMlllIn of Tennessee and Attorney * General Smith of Texas and Campbell of Colorado to put into proper shape. The conference was to have met at 9 o'clock , but It was noon before It got down to business , ae the committee on resolutions was not ready to report until then. The delayed regrets of the attorney general of Ohio were road and then Governor McMll- lln , chairman of the committee , on resolu tions , presented the report of that com mittee. It was as follows : "Tho committee on resolutions , to which wore referred several resolutions and papers , In lieu of them ubmits the following , wUh the recommendation that It bo adopted by this conference : "That wo believe the best present avail able remedies Ho along the following lines : " 1. The enactment and enforcement , both by the several states and the nation , of legis lation that shall adequately and fully defmo as crimes any attempted monopolization or restraint of trade In any line of Industrial activity , with provisions for adequate pun ishment , both of the Individual or the cor poration. that shall bo found guilty thereof ; punishment to the corporation to the extent of Its dissolution. " 2. The enactment by each of the states of the union of legislation for the adequate and proper control and regulation of cor porations chartered by that state , and we recommend as efficacious a system of reports to , and examination by , state authority of the corporations organized under Its laws , to the end that they bo brought to a fair observance of the laws under which they are created. , " 3. The enactment by each state of laws that will prevent the entrance of any foreign created corporation Into its limits for any other purpose than Interstate commerce , except on terms that will put the foreign- created corporation on a basis of equality with the domestic-created corporation of the state entered , and , subject to the same laws , rules and regulations of the state that It enters which are applicable to the domestic corporations of that state , and to this end wo recommend legislation that would make It mandatory upon corporations seeking to engage In business outside the plate of their creation that they procure licenses from the foreign state as a condition precedent to tholr entry Into such state ; such licenses to bo granted on such terms and1 subject to such restrictions as will place the corpora tion subject to the came control , inspection , supervision and regulation as the domestic corporations of that state , and subject to be rovocalblo If the conditions thereof are ylo- lated. niorr at New Jersey. " 4. The enactment of state legislation de claring that a corporation created In one state to do business exclusively In other states than where created shall be prohib ited from admission into any state. This proposition is supported ! by decisions of the supreme courts of several states , but we be lieve It chould become a legislative enact ment , uniform throughout t/he / states. " 5. That no corporation should bo formed in whole or part by another corporation. " 6. That no corporation shall own or hold any stock in another corporation en gaged In a similar or competitive business and that no officer or director of a corpora tion ehall be the officer or director or the owner of stock in another corporation en gaged in a similar or competitive business , the object or result of which Is to create a trust or monopoly. " 7. Recognizing that trusts are usually composed of corporations and that corpora tions are but creatures of the law and can only exist In the place at their creation and cannot migrate to another sovereignty without the consent of that sovereignty and that this consent may bo withheld when de- elrod , wo recommend , as the sense * of this conference , that each state pass laws pro viding that no corporation which Is a mem ber of any pool or trust in that state or elsewhere can do business In that state. "Resolved , That It is the acnso of this conference that all the capital stock of pri vate corporations should bo fully paid either , flrst , In lawful money ; or , second , in property of the actual cash value of the amount of capital stock , and tbat in all private corporations with a capital stock issued in excess of the amount actually paid up as above provided the shareholders shall ba liable to the ioxtent of twice the face value of the stock held by each " Governor McMlllIn , In presenting the resolutions , said he was aware of the fact tbat trusts and combinations restrain trade are in a degree always dependable upon federal , state or municipal govern ments for their continuance. "This Is no asaemblagehe said , "to war on corporations or capital In any form. The object of theee resolutions Is not to crush corporations or destroy capital , but to reg ulate them. That Is the whole object of this conference , and when that Is obtained Its whole duty will have been done. " Attorney General Davis of Arkansas made a few remarks In favor of the resolutions , in the course of which he deplored the fact tbat anything had come up during the con ference to mar- the harmony of Its proceed ings. ings.Chairman Chairman Sayern then put the question and 'the resolutions were unanimously adopted by the representatives of the states remaining. Governors Shaw of Iowa and Thomas of Colorado and Attorney General Taylor of Indiana having gene homo last evening , left only eight states represented. Attorney General Campbell of Colorado moved that a committee of flvo ba appointed to formulate a bill along the line of the resolutions adopted , and that each governor here present it to his legislature and rec ommend It to the chief executives of other states. Mr. Helfner of Washington and Governor Jones of Arkansas objected to this on general principles and the motion was lost. He-solutions thanking St. Louisa ns , the management of the Planters' hotel , the press and Chairman Sayera for their efforts in behalf of the conference were adopted. Chairman Sayers then made a short ad dress telling of hU disinterestedness in call ing the conference. He said foe did not bo- lleve the trvet was a question of politics , but one purely of patriotism. On the suggestion of somebody present Secretary Moore promised to have a copy of the proceedings furnished to the governor of every state in the union. The conference then adjourned sine die , UUuiiir rn , Arthur Whltworth , living at the X'adlson hotel , near Sixteenth and Dodge streets , la bunting for his bicycle stolen from the hotel porch Wed eedsy afternoon.

The piece is one In which the elements of com edy and tragedy are so well mixed that neither predominates and the spectator conies away after seeing It with neither a surfeit of laughter nor a touch of the blues. It is laid In the south and thus the local color Introduced is of a pleasing nature to northerners , who are unused to the cotton fields and couioomltant beautiful scenes. The company presenting the play Is above the ordinary and each part Is given careful attention , thus making the whole a pleasing production. A startling cxplcslon of tor pedoes in the eecond act is reallBtlc and a steamboat race on the Mississippi makes a pretty sight at the close of the third act. In this act there Is an interpolation of a terpslchoroan festival In which agllo-footed colored people perform seemingly impossi ble etops , each vicing with the other In In tricacies of swift footing. The closing scene of the play Is eensa- tlomvlly realistic and the element used la a cotton press , from which the heroine is res cued Just as Bho is about to be crushed to death in Its swiftly-closing Jaws. The play will to presented three nights and a mati nee. \o Intent to Stcnl. W. T. Hlgglns , charged with the larceny of a showcase from Joseph P.

WILL NOT PAY CUBAN DEBTS Spain Ilepmltntcn Them nnd the United Slates A'evcr Aarocd to AHHUIUO Them. NEW YORK , Sept. 21. A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Washington says the decision by the Spanish cabinet that the interest on the Cuban bonds must be paid by the Cuban government is a virtual announcement that Spain will not pay the interest and that the bonds are valueless. Involved in this announcement Is the condi tion that there may be an attempt to entan gle congress in a discussion of the responsi bility of the United States government for the interest during the American occupa tion of the Island. The action of the Spanish cabinet was re ferred to the State department , from which the following authoritative statement was obtained : "The United States commission ers at Paris never at any tlme > or in any degree agreed that the United States should become responsible for Spain's Cuban debt. There never was any understanding that any other party should 'be responsible for that debt than Spain. The reason the United States did not assume the debt , or any part of it , was that the debt was In curred almost wholly by Spain to crush the several Insurrections. The United States might have assumed to guarantee this debt If the funds named had been expended In Internal improvements In Cuba. "This government , as Is well known , con sented to pay Spain $20,000,000 In the cose of the Philippine Islands , solely on the ground tbat approximately that amount had < been expended by Spain In improvements In the Islands. "Tho United States , therefore , has as sumed no obligations for , and has no inter est whatever In , the declarations of the Spanish cabinet on the debts of Spain or bow they shall bo paid. The present declaration looks like a repudiation of the debt , principal and Interest. " The State department argues that when Spain relinquished Its sovereignty In Cuba It relieved tbat island of debts contracted to keep It in bondage , This construction , it Is held , is ami-mod In the notes which passed between the two disputing commissions when too treaty under discussion in Paris.
