to lay beforo I'resldent McKlnley a homo
rulo resolution passed In tho houso anil
enato asking for tho removal of Governor
Dole. Parker has a memorial unanimously
Indorsed by tho republican members of both
houses nnd by tho territorial 'republican
central committee replying to the homo rulo
charges against Uole. Wilcox Ip on his way
back to Washington nnd says be lias noth
ing to do with the fight.
In the houso this morning Representa
tive Kmmeluth, homo rule, made n sensa
tional speech ngalnst tho governor. The
legislature had been railed In special
session for appropriation blllH and
had Just completed Its organization
when Emmeluth Introduced a resolution to
provide for tho sending of Ileckloy to San
Francisco. In support of It ho declared
that the conditions that had led to tho
revolt In 1893 bad developed again, with
Dole now the usurper of power Instead of
the ex-queen. It wns Intended by tho
home rulers to havo tho resolution to send
Hockley concurrent, but tbu senato ad
journed for tho day too early, and, as tho
steamer was leaving thlH afternoon, tho
hoiiHo passed it as n house resolution.
Doth houses orgnnlzcd for business and
re-elected most of their former organiza
tions, llrptihlleiinn All llncW lllm.
Tho republican members of tho legisla
ture and tho members of tho central com
mittee and tho Joint caucus have endorsed
tho action of Govornor Dole In refusing
to extend the session of tho legislature, and
after the adoption of tho homo rulo rcsolu
tlon of last week making charges against
tho governor, asking for his removal and
declaring that ho was responsible for tho
(allurn of tho legislature to do any consid
erable amount of business, the republicans
prepared n statement In reply which Sam
Ul Parker Jakes with him. ,
Tho reply states that tho homo rule
party, having control of tho legislature,
blocked evory effort at substantial leglsla
tlon; that bills wcro so llloglcnlly put to
Kcther that It was Impossible to do any
thing with them; that the homo rulo party
was continually hampered with petty Jcal
ousles, and that theso party bickerings
caused the president of the senate, himself
i member of tho home rule party, to re
sign In disgust. Tho reply states further
that one of tho causes of the failure of
the inemhors of the home rulo party to
attain their objects, nnd which prevented
the legislature from accomplishing more
wan the lnslstoncn by tho homo rulo mem.
bors upon the use of tho Hawaiian Ian.
(uago In tho legislative proceedings, not.
withstanding the organic act provides that
"All legislative proceedings shall bo con
ducted In tho English language." They
elected Interpreters nnd required Intorpre
tatlon of nil hills, resolutions, motions am
debates.
Tho reply admits n lack of harmony be
tween tho legtslaturo and tho governor.
but states that tho legislature did no
deal with tho governor In a broad spirit.
nd that past Influences wero permitted
to Interfere with tho conduct of the legis
lature. Continuing, tho reply Bnys: "In
refusing to extend tho session of the legis
lature, the governor actod with tho con
currence of the republican mombors of tha
lame."
This memorial Is signed by all tho re
publican members of the legtslaturo and by
members of the executive committee of tho
republican pnrty. Among them nro mem
bers of tho party who, during the cam
paign and since, have differed with Gover
nor Dole upon matters affecting party pol
icy, but who now appreciate that tho gov
ernor Is in harmony with tho pnrty or
Ranltatlnn as demonstrated hy his public
appointments.

ALBANY. N. Y.. May 15. So sorlous Is
the situation hero tonight over tho Trac
tion company strlko that Governor Odell
postponed n trip to the stnto institutions
which he hnd undertaken and returned to
tho executive mansion. Two thousand
armed soldiers nro within the city limits,
moro nro coming and 600 are In readiness
to movo from Troy when Governor Odell so
orders. Tho streets nre thronged with ex
cited men nnd women nnd tho otherwise
quiet day terminated in bloodshed.
A dramatic clement wns added to tho
day's features by the sudden death of Ad
Jutant General Hoffman.
As long ns the Traction company does
not attempt to movo cars or bring In non
union men tho crowds on tho street re-
nirtln good-natured, except for taunting
tho soldiers and police, but tho instant
nn nttempt Is mnde to work on the lines or
bring non-union men In tho crowd becomes
frenzied and bloodshed results. Citizens,
sahcr-slashed, non-union men with broken
limbs nnd bloody fnecs, women nnd children
trampled under foot, soldiers maimed with
dying missiles nnd leaders In the crowd
beaten with muskets wore some of the re
sults of tho day.
Moll mid .Mllltlil CltDh.
Mob nnd militia closed In combat thla
afternoon, but by the accident of fortune,
there wero no serious casualties. It was
tho Introduction of moro non-union men to
take the places of striking traction em
ployes that produced tho violence. Seventy
llvo non-union men reachod tho union depot
shortly beforo G o'clock and their delivery
nt the Quail street barn, a mtlo nnd n
half away, was made with a dash, under
cavnlry escort, with mob reslstenco In al
most every block. Frenzied men Bwarmed
through tho police lines, surged around tho
fast-moving cavalrymen and fought to get
at tho cowed non-union men Inside tho
circle of galloping horses. The rays of
the seettlng sun gave glint to busy sabers,
but tho long blades, wloldcd by forbearing
hands, seldom descended In serious blows.
Several of the mob wcro knocked down
by cornered cnvnlrymen, but tho record
does not ohow the score of a single fatality.
In tbo passage through tho streets few
of tho non-unlonlsts escaped the flying
bricks and stones that were hurled at them,
but less than a dozen wcro badly hurt. Tho
courage of nearly a dozen of tho non-union
men failed them In the opening spurt
through tho crowds nnd they sprang from
tho wagons that carried them to minglo
with and bo lost In tho crowd. Tho ride of
tho non-union men through tho city was
the dramatic spectnele of the day.
At 5 o'clock tho Third Slgnnl corps,
mounted and armed ns cavalrymen, formed
a hdllow- squnro around the non-uulon men
who had JiiBt nrrived at tfio d'epcrf. Five
thousand men tagged nt their heels and
Jammed In around thorn and thousnnds
moro crowded Into the intersecting streets.
Non-I'n IoiiIhIn IIiivp to Hurry.
Fifty pollcomen formed In cordon about
tho waiting dragoons nnd tried to force the
crowd back. The street was cleared, but
the walls of humanity on tho sidewalks
hold firm and could not bo niovedt A broken
alleyway that run3 nlong the 2011th side of
tho Union depot was the stago of tho open
ing scene. Into It wcro driven four fiat
topped open trucks. Tho crowd recognized
them as tho same vehicles that had car
ried tho first batch of strike-breakers, and
greeted them with groans. Suddenly a side
door of tho depot was thrown open nnd up
tho nlloyway toward tho wnitlng teams
marched tho non-union men. Onco they
wsro nil aboard tho drivers brought tholr
temiH out into tho street, the cavalry
closed In around them nnd the rnco was
on. Tho police threw themselves across
tho street In solid phalanx, but the crowd,
roaring Its thrents against tho new men,
swept over tho pollco and took up the
chase. Ahead wcro thousunds moro and
with no fenr for either heels of horses or
blades of steel thoy closed In around tho
cavalrymen. Soon there camo a volley of
bricks and three of tho strike-breakers
sprang from the rear wagon and wero lost
In the crowd
DiinIi of the I'MytiiK Column.
Tho flying column dashed Into Stnto
street for tho run up tho hill past the
eapltol. Here the crowd was as dense nnd
as desperato as tho other and men plunged
In around tho galloping horses. One rldor,
cut off from the crowd, brought his saber
down on the face of one of his antagonists
and a line of blood marked whore it struck.
Two blocks up Statu street a clever ruse
blocked tho downtown mob. Two com
panies of the Tenth battalion wero con
cenled In Chapel street nnd when the
cnvalry escort dashed past thoy ran across
State street and faced tho crowd with fixed
bayonets. The new line wavered and broko
on one flank, but In tho main the move
ment wnb successful. Rut tho strike-breakers
were not yet free. Smaller crowds had
gathered at various points along tho route
to tho-barn and thoy threw stones when
the non-union men rushed past.
There was another wild scono nt tho barn,
whero thousands more had assembled. The
infantry lepeatcdly charged Into tho
crowd, substituting butt for bayonet, and
nttor much effort n passago was opened for
the scunylng cavalcado and It was safe
lnsldo the enclosure.
Sixteen Injured, r.lKhti'en Ilpiert,
Sixteen c.f tho strike-breakers wero In
jured during the ride nnd many of them,
stunned, weak nnd scared, had to bo helped
from the wagons. Of the sixteen injured
men only ono wns sent to tho hospital. Ho
was injured In tho arm nnd head nnd tho
surgeons say ho was shot. Tho strikers
say that eighteen strike-breakers deserted
during the ride and that less than fifty
wero safely landed In the barn.
In n hollow squnro of Infnntry. protected
by lines of pickets that reached Into tvery
bisecting street nnd an outer skirmish lino
In circular form thnt encompassed all, tbo
traction tower wagon was moved out of
tho barn this afternoon and two hours were
spent In repairing trolley wires. Tho heavy
foreo of guardsmen and the stringency of
the protective measures seemed to nwe the
crowds that surged around tho outer sklr
raUh llne aml ,here Wa8 "s "8or(ler- Tho
flol,llcrs wcro JeorC(1 an(1 erltleci. but no

move cnrH under tho protection of the
troops,

CHICKEN FOR THE CLERGY

Hone l'i In It It me.
Tho timo-honored nninlty between tho
preacher and thq spring chicken was ex
emplified nt the banquet given at the Mil
lard hotel Inst night by tho churchmen of
Omaha to the clergy and lay delegates of
the thirty-fourth annual council of tho
Episcopal diocese of Nebraska. Ono hun
dred covers were laid and the "chicken"
wns beautifully served. It appeared on tho
menu as "roast spring chicken deml glnee,"
with sorbet excelsior and Roquefort cheese
upon either side of It. The tnblo was taste
fully decorated with asparagus ferns nnd
bouquets ot roses.
The toasts, of which eight wcro re
sponded to, were all germane to tho work
of tho church, but wcro sprightly nnd
spiced with sallies of wit. Variety was
added to this part of the program by two
solos, one sung by Jules Lumbnrd and one
by James Darton.
Hon. Jnmes M. Woolwortli, I). C. L., chan
cellor of tho diocese, wns toastmnstcr. Ho
introduced first lit. Rev. A. L. Williams,
coadjutor bishop, who responded to tho
toast, "Tho Diocese." Tho bishop con
gratulated Chancellor Woolwortli upon his
skill as a toastmnstcr, nnd remarked In
this connection thnt tho functions of u 1
toastmnstcr wcro llko those of a set o(
artificial teeth to fill In the gaps between
the Jaws. Ho then relnttd several nnec
dotcs drawn from personal experiences In
connection with his office in Nebraska, and
set the ball rolling on the word "coadjutor"
(which all the churchmen were careful to
accent on the penult) nnd thereafter nearly
every speaker took his turn at punning on
tho word. Henry W. Yates said It meant
one who agitates; n coadjutator.
After each name on tho printed list of
toasts appeared an appropriate sentiment
from some author, which ntforded tho
speakers Inspiration for various Impromptu
sallies. To Henry W. Yntes, who was as
signed to "Onr ntshnps," tho editor of tho
program had given this line from Shakes
peare: "The gentleman Is learned and a
most rare speaker." Mr. Yntes thought
this was an oblique reference to his being
an underdone orator.

Ho compared tho western union with
the early apostles, and said that both sowed
tho seed of tho church In virgin soli. "The
apostles weren't popular," said he. "No
one over heard of their attracting vast con
gregations nnd holding them spellbound by
the force of their .eloquence. Yet they
changed tho religion of tho world. Tho
bishop of tho church Is a knight-errant. Ho
is not only a commander-ln-chlof, ho Is also
a Btandnrd-boarer, charged with tho mis
sionary spirit, zeal, energy and faith."
Jules Lumbard sang "I nm a Child of tho
King" and.. responded toan encore, .with
"Loch "Lomond' singing It wlthout'on' ao-
companlment.
John D. Stlrcs could not he present to
respond to the toast, "Country Parsons
so Hon. Edgar Howard took his place. "My
Ideal country priest," said he, "Is one who
will so make his llfo conform to the lives
of1 thoso to whom he ministers thnt every
day they can touch his hand ono who gives
his people to understand that he Is there
not In tho nnmo of Rector So-nnd-So
but In tho name of tho Master. Then will ho
preach a gospel that tho peoplo will be
lieve, whether they will or no."

Charles J. Phelps of Columbus responded
to tho toast, "Country Laymen." lie said
they were as a class firm In tholr al
legiance to tho church, caring not so much
about mysticism nnd ritualism. They up
held tho hands of the rector and made his
efforts bear fruit.
Joseph Harton sang a baritone solo, with
a refrain, "Oh, It's always fair weather
when tho good fellows get togothcr." In
rcsponso to a hearty encore he sang the
ballad. "I Think I'll lie a Soldier."
To Rev. I. P. Johnson of South Omaha
had been assigned tho toast "Annexation."
He said he didn't know what It was he was
expected to annex, certainly not Iowa or
Kansas, as they would eventually bo added
to the dioceso of Nebraska by benovolcnt
assimilation. The best ho could make out
ot tho subject was that It Imposed upon hlni
a sort of lnterurban problem, which he dls
posed of metrically, thus:

In IS40, Omaha
Wns lust a lino location.
Whero antelopes nnd buffaloes

Here camped tho dusky Indian,
Tho lord of all creation.
That scalped tho luckless trapper, who
Disturbed inn meditation.
In 1S50, Omaha
Was lust a situation.
Whero forty-niners stopped to drink
A bibulous libation.
Here trailed tho prnlrlo schooner, oh,
In ennstnnt perturbation,
I.eht these same dusky Indians

Where wheels of one George Francis Train

Where barroom toughs nnd section hands
Without exaggeration.
Would mako night hideous with the sound
Of noisy altercation.
In 1S80, Omaha
Began that great Inflation
A boom, which proved, alas, to bo
A boom-er-raiiB dilation;
When men believed that buying land
Was their distinct vocation,
Hut found, to try nnd sell tho same,
Another occupation.
In 1!W. Omaha,
By some prevarication,
Became a great metropolis,
or mighty population;
While to tho south a little town
Of little expectation
Hegnn to be and then became
A despised poor relation.
In ISM, Omaha,
To her exasperation,
Somehow or other didn't grow
She lacked equivocation.
And wore It not for this Mime town
Of mighty aspiration
I surely feel thnt Omaha
Would lose her reputation.
In 1010, dear Omaha
Mny need some Inspiration

A proper augmentation,

For your resuscitation

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16. Owing to tho
very serious character of Mrs. McKlnley
Illness the president this morning defi
nitely decided to abandon his contomplated
northwestern tour and to return to Wash
ington diroct as soon as Mr. McKlnley U
ablo to stand tho journey.
Tho gravity of Mrs. McKlnloy's condition
had boon known to tho members of tbo
president's Immcdlato parjy for several
days, but had been concealed in the belief
that sho would rally, as sho bad so fie
qucntly in tho past when suftorlug from ono
of her periods of depression, nnd with a
fow days of absolute quiet and rest be re
stored to normal condition. Rut her pros
ont illness hns been attended with entirely
now complications, which have not ytalded
to trcatftiont, and the president concluded
thin morning thnt It was time tho public
should bo apprised of the true situation.
Ho wns also anxious that, the citizens of tho
cities nnd towns along tho planned routo
of his return trip who havo made such ex
tcnBlvo preparations for his visit should

gave to tho Astoclated Press this morning
announcing tho abandonment of the trip,
coupled with another announcement that
Mrs. McKlnley's condition last night was
bettor In somo respects, but worio In
others, prepared the wny for the bulletin
issued two hours lator that Dr. Henry Gib
bons, a eelobrnted physician of San Ftnn
elsco, had been called In consultation with
Dr. Hlrschfelder and Dr. RUey. Dr. Gib
bons has n reputation hero for IiIh Hklll In
tho treatment of bowol disorders. It was
tho president's own wish that another phy
stclan bo called In consultation, not be
cause ho did not havo contldonco in Drs.
Hlrschfelder and Rixoy, but because ho de
sired thnt nothing that sclcnco could do
should bo left undone. Ho was especially
anxious that the diagnosis of the attend
ing physicians should agree
Ever slnco Mrs. McKlnley arrived at thn
Scott residence she has been desperately
111. Her extrotim weakness hns been tho
moBt alarming feature ot her condtllou.
Her vitality has been at low ebb and she
has seldom spoUi.ii to those about hor.
The president bus been continually at her
bedsldo since their arrival here Sunday
night, savo th few hours Monday after
noon when he left her to go to San Josu,
and the three hours ho spent yesterdny In
the parado. Fortunately, Mrs. McKlnley
slept through his absence on both theso
occasions. Thn i.traln which (ho president
himself han undergone during tho post fow
days has been very great. It hns been a
personal sacrifice for him to carry out bit
engagements hero In order not to disap
point the ptuplc, but ho bus mudo It un-
