A car builder, speaking of the situation
t the shops, says the company's supply of
eastings and other' furnishings necessary
for the repair work Is decidedly low and
that something must be done very soon or
operations cannot' proceed.
A machinist was asked yesterday why
It was that all the men seemed to be so
thoroughly opposed to piecework, when the
officials all maintained that It waa the best
system. He said:
"It's simply because we cannot make
enough money at It. Of course It sounds
plausible to say that the men are placed
on their merits and the good ones can
make more, while the poor ones who cannot
oarnas much as they were getting under
the old system ought not expect anything.
But the truth Is none of us would make as
much for the reason that we would not
have work all the time. Those periods when
there was nothing to do we would lose, ,
why, as a matter of fact, it often happens
that men are delayed or Interfered with at
the shops -by something over which they
have no control. Now, we are the losers for
this time If we work by the piece and that
Is the real Issue. It Is not a fact that the
piecework system would revolutionize
things, as the company claims."
One Man at North Platte.
The bollermakers yesterday received
a letter from North Flaite saying that but
one bollermaker waa at vork there a one
legged man and . he waa getting 60 ceuts
an hour.
President Kennedy said yesterday that
the J. I. Caae firm of Milwaukee, now ad
vertising for bollermakers. Is a fair firm
and that any union botlurmaker bad a right
to go t work foe them.
The machinists and bollermakers both
ay they have heard nothing of any riots
or attempted riots at Cheyenne or any
other place along the line. The tralnload
of Plnkerton detectives lias not yet reached
Omaha and none of the railroads will own
up to such unprecedented time In "rush
ing" these "sleuths" luto the city. The
yarns inject a spirit of levity into the
otherwise eerlous affair, but none of the
Inkers can be found who will "stand" for
the authenticity of the fables.
"In all seriousness," said Vice President
Wilson, "there is nothing in any such re
ports so far as wo know, and we think it
la barely possible we would have heard
ome bint of it at least if there had been
anything to It. No men have yet been
brought out from Chicago or any other
place, although the company has made an
effort to fill the strikers' placea."
Machinists and bollermakers are not par
ticularly anxious for the blacksmiths and
car builders to strike, for It will not ma
terially strengthen the position of .the pres
ent strikers, since their work Is not so
closely allied as to make one dependent on
the other. Beside this, for any larger num
ber to go out would simply Increase the
financial burdens of the American Federa
tion of Labor It would mean the sub
traction of Just thla many paying members,
who would become dependent members.

SETTLE FOR FRIAR LANDS
fWretarj Boot Forwards Final Instruction!
of Department to Judge Taft.
UNITED STATES PROPOSES TO BUY
losreitlnn Made that Hoard of Arbi
tration Agree oa Price tn Be
Paid Friars Mast Leave
at Fixed Date.
ROME, July 3. Judge William H. Taft,
civil governor of the Philippine islands,
today received a long cable message from
Secretary Root containing the depart
ment' final instructions concerning the
note relating to the disposition of the
friar lands in the Islands which wss drawn
up here Tuesday, and this afternoon Major
Torter delivered the note to Cardinal Ram
polla, the papal secretary of state.
Governor Taft was gratified on learning
from the same message that the Philippine
civil bill had become a law.
Major Porter delivered the note person
ally to Cardinal Rampolla, who conversed
cordially with him at some length, ex
pressing the hope that the negotiations
would be concluded In time to allow Judge
Taft to leave Rome inly 23. The pope
read the original note, which waa imme
diately manifolded for the benefit of the
committee of cardinals having charge of
the matter. The note covers fourteen
typewritten pages. It begins with ac
knowledging the Vatican's note of June 21
and says he (Judge Taft) Is pleased that
the Vatican approves of the sending to
Rome of a representative of the president
with the object of arriving at a satisfac
tory agreement on the questions In dis
pute and to see that the general vlewa
of the Vatican are in harmony with the
views of Secretary Root, although on one
of the Important questions, namely, that
of the religious ordera, there appears to
be a difference regitrdlng the methods to
be adopted in order to remove the ad
mitted difficulty.
Answering the Vatican's note proposing
to have the new apostolic delegate at
Manila settle the question of the religious
orders. Judge Tsft remarks:
"Thus would be lost the advantages ex
pected from a direct contract clearly de
termining the principal lines upon which
co-operation between the state and church
may be assured."
Purchase of Land Proposed.
The note proposes the purchase of the
land of the Dominicans and Auguatlnlans
at a price to be determined on by five
arbitrators, two to be chosen by the United
States, two by the Vatican and one by a
neutral, say the British governor of India.
The arbitrators to meet In Manila no
later than January 1, 1903, examine wit
nesses and visit the land.
The Judgment, of the majority to be ac
cepted. The price to be paid In Mexican dollars,
one-third Immediately, a third In nine
months and a .hird in eighteen months,
with interest at 44 per cent.
Payment to be made to a person chosen by
the Vatican.
The former Spanish crown lands now in
possession of the American government
on which there are ecclesiastical buildings
to be banded over to the ecclesiastical
official appointed by the vatlcan.
The ordinary courts to decide concerning
the land - retained by the church, but
claimed by the municipalities-.'
It 1 hoped that when an apostolic dele
gate competent to represent the holy see
Is sent to the Philippines he will be able
to decide which property used for charitable
or educational Institutions belongs to' the
church and which to the state.
Case of disagreement shall be submitted
to the arbitration of the same arbitrators
who shall also decide the San Jose founda
tion case, now pending before the supremo
court of the Philippines.
Indemnity tor Bnlldtngs.
The United States to pay an Indemnity
for the buildings used by the American
troops, but nothing is to be paid until the
title deeds are In the bands of the Philip
pine government.
All friars of the four orders shall with
draw within two years from the first pay
ment. A small number are to continue
during that time to look after the schools
and universities; all of them must go,
half after nine months from the first pay
ment and half eighteen months later, not
including friars who have not raised the
hostilities of the natives and who re
mained in their parishes after the revolu
tion of 1898 till now, except those In Ma
nila. No Spanish friars may be substituted
for those withdrawn.
The churches, schools and universities
may be directed by Spanish clergy or or
dera other than those withdrawn, or clergy
of the same order who are not Spanish.
It Is necessary to convince the Filipinos
that the ancient' regime of the Spanish
friars is finished.
The note reminds the Vatican that the
orders still publish a paper In Manila,
which Is anti-American and antl-Phillp-plne,
but pro-Spanish, and that the orders
possess property In Manila to the value
of nearly 6,000,000 Mexican dollars, while
that of the Catholic church is only valued
at 3.500,010 Mexican dollars. This Is very
significant, as the church has a large capi
tal at intereat, besides (he land which It Is
now proposed the government should pur
chase. To reach the desired object the
best thing Is to prevent any member of
the four withdrawing orders, without dis
tinction or nationality, from being sent to
the islands.
Mast Hire Harmony.
Nothing will so cslm the people and pro
duce harmony between the church and the
government as the certainty given by eon
tract that the friars shall leavs at a fixed
date, shall not return and shall not exer
cise any Influence from Manila over the
priests in the parishes. In view of these
facts It la hoped the Vatican will accept
the propositions.
The note ends with calling the attention
of the Vatican to the clause regarding re
ligious teachings In the public schools, fay
ing that Judga Taft's Instructions prsvent
further discussion of the matter. It also
calls the attention of Cardinal Rampolla
to the sixteenth section of the general law
for the Philippine schools, a copy of which
is enclosed.
. The note is accompanied by the k'nd of
contract which Judge Taft proposes will be
signed.

WASHINGTON, July 3. The work incl

of the Spooner amendments to the Isthmian
canal bill will be prosecuted with the ut
most expedition consistent with the na
ture and magnitude of the interests in

task. Under the direction of Mr. Knox,
Mr. Russell will apply to the French court

proceedings and will verify records and
proceedings in the caae, of which the. at

Tie liquidation of the "bid canal com

careful scrutiny. While It ia thought that
a perfect title to the Panama canal prop

concessions obtained fr.ji Colombia, the
attorney general Is unwilling to express
himself on the subject further than to say
that he Is hopeful of success, but that
everything will depend on the reault of the
inquiry to be instituted In Paris, and the
specific concessions which Colombia is
willing to make. It Ir possible that after
the examination of the records In Parla
shall have been completed, Mr. Knox him

LINEMEN TO GET MORE MONEY
Nebraska Telephone Company An
nounces Increase In Pay
of Its Employes.
Unexpected development came about
yesterday In the electric linemen' labor
difficulties. The Nebraska Telephone com
pany posted a notice in the afternoon, say
ing that all linemen would hereafter receive
$2.76 a day for nine hours' work. The
men have been getting $3.60 a day for the
same length of time and made a demand
for no more time or no less time, but
simply the recognition of their union.
What effect this sudden and unlooked-for
action on the part of the company will
hare on the demands of the linemen 1 not
known.
The linemen havo been endeavoring to se
cure recognition of their union from the
company for a long time, but they have
met with defeat and don't know now what
the company' attitude is on this subject
One of the linemen said last ntgbt'that he
did not think the company meant to Imply
any recognition of the union by it volun
tary action In raising the men' pay, nor
could he tell what the union would do with
the old demand. That I a matter for the
executive committee of the union to deal
with. It may be decided best to abandon
the demand for recognition or it may be
decided to peraist in this demand.
"What we a union men care most for."
this representative said, "i recognition
of our union. Give us that and we will look
out for the rest."
There are fourteen gangs of linemen
under the management of the Nebraska
Telophone company and 95 per cent of all
the men are members of the union and
the other ( per cent have made applications
for membership. There I not a non-union
lineman in Council Bluff. The Nebraska
company does not discriminate agalnat unloa
men. Only yesterday four were added to
the company's payroll.
It 1 significant that the committee of
linemen presented a new and formal de
mand for recognition of the union yester
day, the same day on which the company
posted it notice of aa Increase la wage.

RATIFY FUSION NOMINATIONS
Donates fnanttlle apeak of State
and tnnntr Tickets 'Mid
Fireworks.
Thursday night while firecrackers and
blsok cartridge were being exploded under
the window, the Iinugla County Democ
racy took a whirl at ratifying the action
Of the state and county conventions.
Speeches were punctuated by cannon shots
fired by the Omaha Guards across the
street, to the srttith, and enough enthusiasm
and noise wss worked up to suit the most
strenuous fuslonlst.
In railing the mcMIng to order President
Resgan made a short talk complimentary to
the nominees of the fuslnnlsts and created
considerable applause by announcing that
since Its orgsnitallon the Douglas County
Dcmocrsey had always atood by the nomi
nees, and that Its fighting wss done at the
primaries and conventions, and not after.
Short talks were made by J. P. English,
W. P. McDevltt, U J. Plattl, Oeorge Ber
Irand. J. E. Riley, J. C. Rrennan, Joseph
Butler, J. A. C. Kennedy and others. Let
ters were resd from W. H. Thompson and
A. E. Gilbert, expressing their regret at
not being able to be present, and thanking
the club for Inviting them. The clubroom
were crowded.
Amusements.
At the Boyd.
Punctuated by the pop of the premature,
hut patriotic pistol and the cracking of
numerous nolse-maklng contraptions whose
spasmodic but assertive explosions gave
unmlatakable notice of the approach of
another birthday for the American eagle,
the speeches of the actor who presented
"The Crucifix" at the Boyd last night lost
maybe some of their meaning to the audi
ence, but still retained enough to tell a
etory of Intrigue, jealosy, tyraaciy and
the end. It Is a trifle dlconcertlng to an
actor to be Interrupted between words by
the banging of giant crackers or the short,
harp bark of a 44 loaded with blanks,
but they have to put up with It on the
night before the Fourth, and the audience
has ita grievance as well. The piece put
on by the Ferris stock company for Its
regular Thursday night change of bill Is
a Russian melodrama, with enough of ac
tion and "heart interest" In it to stock half
a dozen ordinary society dramas. Under the
arrangement It goes with a enap, and un
folds a plot as lengthy and Involved as
that of a Gaboriou novel. One thing it
does, however. Is to bring to the front the
capabilities of one or two of the lesser
members of the company.
Mis Junle Swift, who did so well as
Phyllis Lee in "The Charity Ball," has
a part that gives her fine opportunity aud
she takes it well. Mies Swift has an at
tractive presence, a pleasing voice and a
good conception of the role she assumes.
Mr. George J. Elmore makes much of the
character of Norovleff, a moujtk and a
spy of the czar, who ts the marplot of the
piece. He was several times applauded
last night. Miss Hayward has a difficult
role in the character of a French actress
who is consumed by Jealousy, and offered
the tragedy feature of the piece. The play
will be given at a special matinee this
afternoon.
