CHICAGO, Oct. 2. President Morton cf
the International Aoclatlon of Stationary
Engineers and Firemen listed today tbat
II members of tbe aaaoclatlon an over tbe
country would be ordered to refute to
fcandle any anthracite coal until every mem
ber affectad by the anthracite strike ta re
Instated on tbe basis on which the miners
returned to work.
Tbe brotherhood has a membership of
14.000 and has local anions In 114 towns
and cltlea. Including Chicago, New York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Cincinnati. Cleve
land. Baltimore, St- Louis, Kansas City,
Denver and San Francisco. President
Morton declared his organization waa In
a position to shut out hard coal In all
cltlea where It had local unions and said
such action would be taken It, necessary
(or the protection of members who had
lost their positions on account of ths
Lhracite coal strike.
This Is President Morton's Tlew of the
Situation:
According to all reports from the eastern
mine our men are getting the worst of It,
and while the miners are being reinstated
xney are leit out in the cola.
Our organization does not propose allow
Ing Its members to be victimised, and as
we cannot call a strike at the mines, non
union men seeming to be In possession of
me jone, wa sill attempt to secure the re
instatement of our members by shutting
out anthracite coal wherever we can.
While negotiations looking toward a set
tlement were on, we did not wish to Inter
fere In any way, although we feared our
rnen would get tbe worst of the bargain.
We believe the action of the firemen and
engineers in quilting work. helped the
Winers to win the tight.
Although It is true a majority of the
firemen are members of the miners' union,
they have retained their membership In
our union and have already asked tar enr
ajtatstance. We propose to give It to them
and I am going to call a meeting of tbe
executive board when action will be taken
looking to that end.
I will advocate that our members be or
dered to refuse to handle anthracite roal
and aa to my mind this Is the only method
that will bring tbe operators to time, I be
lieve the board will adopt my suggestion.
President Morton said when the Ehamo
fcla convention of the miners was held
previous to the strike. President Tom Bar
, 4tt(. and Secretary . J. P. Mullah y of Che
' state district at Pewheylvania, were pres
ent In the interest of the firemen and asked
what protection they would receive pro
vided they went on strike In sympathy with
the minora.
According to President Morton they were
advised to get Into the miners' union, but
were assured the miners would stand by
them. He Is now of the opinion that the
miners have not lived up to their promises
strictly.

Ths mining of coal with union miners

The members of the deputation . jlnted
out that the Australian supplies were at
their lowest ebb becsuse of prolonged
drouths In Australia, while the shipments
of frozen meat from the United States had
fallen off owing to tbe abort supply. Trad
ers, they added, were now compelled to pay
75 to 100 per rent more for frozen me

hope of relief wss tbe readmlsslon of live

Mr. Hanbury admitted It was his personal
belief that Argentina was st present free
from cattle disease, but be was not sstls
fled that the government of Argentina had
taken tbe precaution to prevent its Intro
duction. He wss pressing Argentina to
adopt regulations similar to the British.
Meantime Argentina was supplying more
frozen beef and mutton then ever before,
snd If the Importation of live cattle from
that country was allowed tbe dead meat im

21. The Soufriere volcano has been active
since October 15. keeping the people In the
Windward district in a state of continued
unrest.
Evidence gathered in the district proves
tbat tbe eastern crater was chiefly operative

and shelter, especially for their terrified
wlvea and children, and begged to be re
moved from the northern quarter of the
island to form a new settlement In another
locality where they could safely and con
veniently start life afresh.
The administrator expressed his hearty
sympathy for the sufferers and premised to
communicate tbe facts to his chief, to

la
rase Instituted against the Northern Se
curities company, tbe Great Northern snd
the Northern Pacific was continued today
and an adjournment taken to New York.
Today's witnesses were Colonel Clough
and President Mellen.
Colonel W. P. Clough, vice president and
counsel tor the Northern Securities com
pany, wss recalled to the stand to testify
nd in the course of his testimony he lden-
Ified for record a map of the territory cov
ered by the railroads interested, for the
purpose of demonstrating that even if it
had been so desired It would not hsve been
possible for them to control the rstes com
pletely on 10 per cent of the traffic carried
lb the territory through which they run.
Witness told of the organization of tbe
Northern Securities compsny. The capital
tock was placed high enough to enable the
directors to acquire any desired railroad or
industrial stock.
"Joint tariffs," he said later, "greatly
facilitated the movement of freight. This
arrangement makes a single route out of
several independent onea and is the par
ticular point In which the railroads of the
I'nlted States are far superior to those of
Europe."
Colonel Clough, on cross-examination.
admitted that Mr. Hill's policy would prob
ably be supported In the Northern Securi
ties company. He insisted tbat there had
never been any attempt to consolidate the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern, and
held that the only action taken had been
the personal acts of Individual sharehold
ers.
The effect of possible adverse legislation
had been one influence In tbe organization
of tbe Great Northern Seruritlea company,
as some supreme court decisions hsd made
the question of vested right a little uncer
tain and they even feared that their char
ters might be taken away.
Stockkolders Set Coaealted.
He denied that Northern Pacific stock
holders had been consulted before the arti
cles of the Northern Securities company
were filed, but admitted that J. Plerpont
Morgan, a large holder of Northern Pa
cific, D. Willis James and other holders In
both roads had been consulted and had con
sented to put their stock in a holding com
pany.
Much time was given to questions about
Increases in capital stock of the Great
Northern, all of which Colonel Clov-gr said
have been sold at par to stockholders. Hs
insisted that the $92,000,000 par value of
Great Northern stock represented a genuine
valuation. The Securities company held
proxies for all Northern Pacific and Great
Northern stock deposited. He admitted
tmrTMa wirta bcrnr --Tnarrty -anC
there was nothing to prevent the election of
Identical boards of directors for both roads
except the laws of the country, which posi
tively forbid such action.
C. 6. Mellen. president of the Northern
Pacific railroad, stated positively that his
company had not, as an organization, taken
any part in tbe formation of tbe Northern
Securities company. He believed that tbe
purchase of the Burlington had promoted
commerce, having opened wider markets.
He regarded tbe lumber business secured
for the Northern Pacific and tbe Burling
ton jointly as business made.
His road gave no orders to the Burling
ton, but tbe tart of a common ownership
tended to better feeling between the oflV
ciala of the various lines and thereby pro
moted business.
The hearing will be resumed In New Tork
on November 10.
John R. Mott, leader of the student move
ment throughout the worlB. Bishop Tho
bura snnounced that he whs authorised to
say that if tbe conference would subscribe
1150.000 an anonymous gentleman would
give $100,000.
Sums ranging from $5,000 down were con
tributed, personal contributions of $1,004
being frequently sent to the secretary's
desk.
When $140,000 had been subscribed Bishop
Thoburn announced that ha was authorized
to state that If tbe conference raised $300,
000 an additional $25,000 wnuld be placed in
the fund. Immediately there was a renewal
of the contributions and at 11 SO the fund
was well oa Its way toward the $300,000
mark.
The other work of the convention this
afternoon and evening was devoted mostly
to addresses and talks by Ibe several lead
ers present In the various churches and

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2$. (Special Tele
gram.) Colonel John S. Mosby. special
agent of the Interior department, today
called upon Secretary Hitchcock and laid
before him (he results cf his Investigations
of the illegal occupancy of public lands In
Nebraska and other states by stork raisers.
Secretsry Hitchcock will take up Colonel
Mosby's report st sa esrly dste. It is said
at tbe lend office that It has been estimated
that millions of acres of public land that
ought rightfully to be open to homestead
settlers is now occupied by cattlemen. Land
Commissioner Hermann Is most emphatic
In his statement that he will make every
effort to enforce the law and remove the
fencing and give every assistance to the
homesteader to enter peacefully upon the
lands now feneed and rightfully a part of
the public domain. Mr. Hermann maintains
tbat If cattlemen are unlawfully occupying
public lands tbey should and will be ousted.
If tbe law la obnoxious to them, tbe only
appeal is to congress. The law la clear and
it will be most rigidly enforced against
such cattlemen as are found to be Illegally
upon public domain.' Colonel Mosby will
remain In Washington to be at hand to aid
the secretary of the Interior la solving the
present contention between tbe fenced-in
cattle raisers, small cattlemen and homesteaders.

plied modestly that he had the best lieu
tenants a captain ever had and that they
all were content In the thought tbat tbe
convention had done a great good for the
cause of primitive Christianity In this
neighborhood and In tbe world at large.
These sentiments were echoed by the local
Christian pastors. Revs. Hilton and Hill
and Rev. W. B. Crswdson of Council
Bluffs, which latter speaker gave particu
lar attention to tbe street meetings ha
has superintended and prophesied that the
work would grow.

Most pleasing and novel In the list of
musical numbers of tbs convention was
the expression of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," by six girls from the State Institute '
for the Peat Miss Ota Crawford, one of
their instructors at the Institute, aaag

Miaaes Wiilman, Smrha, Marshall, Duncan

which waa vigorously encored by tha wav
ing of handkerchiefs.
Miss May Park, assistant pastor of tha
church at Beatrice, Neb., also contributed
a solo.
All day yesterday the delegates were de
parting and last night's trains carried hun
dreds, but still other hundreds remain to
day to visit various points ot interest about
the city. James Small, the Irish evange
list, and Mrs. Princess Long, ths California
ringer, remain some time, beginning a re
vival service at the North Side Chrlstlsa
church next Sundsy. Rev. Small speaks
at noon today at tbe Young Men's Christian
association rooms.
This morning the convention furnishings
will be removed and the Coliseum becomes
tbe great silent hall It was before. The
local committee will have another meet
ing today or tomorrow, and then close the
headquarters in the Millard hotel.
Debate Waaes Perseaal.
Earnest, even vehement expression waa
given todlvual opinions on Christian
union at yesterday's aessloa at tbs
Coliseum. Some personal questions wrr
addressed and in their answering it once
occurred that a speaker designated as
"utterly, unqualifiedly and maliciously
false" a report concerning him ta which
another speaker appeared to give credence.
Again, tbe charge was made that the
resolution ot Tuesday night approving the
federation of churches had been "rail
roaded through" by methods which Presi
dent Breeden, had he been in tha chair,
would not have permitted.
The discussion was precipitated and In
vited by Dr. B. B. Tyler, president of tbe
International Sunday febool association, and
now a pastor In Denver. He haa been cred
ited with founding tbe work of the Chris
tian church in Omaha twenty-four years
ago and has been a leader in the affaire of
tbe church for decade, but despite his
white hair Is still a speaker of powerful
voice, humorous lendencle and aa Indiffer
ence to public opinion that be gave expres
sion to Thursdsy from ths rostrum la
these words: "You msy damn me or not
I had ratber be damned by some mil than
saved by them."
Steads for Chrlstlsa t'nlea.
Dr. Tyier read aa addreas la which hs
stood squarely and openly tor Christian
union, saying' "To voluntarily remain
divided Is voluntarily to remain In sin. Our
divisions binder the work ot evangelisation
at home and abroad."
In his Introductory remarks Dr. Tyler
made reference, without using names, to the
action of Editor J. A. Lord of tbe Christian
Standard and others to defeat tbs federa
tion resolution ot Tuesday nlgbt aad added,
with an amiable smile: "Just because I
wasn't here with my patent spankoblle you
behaved very badly."
Evacge'ist Simpson Ely of Minnesota hsd
been with Lord in tbe protest and this
reference apparently nettled him, for later
he dragged forth a charge against Tyler.
At tbe concluiion of Dr. Tyler's address
be propounded three queries and Invited
a general dlaruation of them. Tbe discus
sion didn't follow tbs lines hs laid down,
but were none the less electrifying ta the
convention, wblch Is still quits largely at
tended. His queries were:
"What modification or modifications of
our proposition on the aubject ot Christian
union ought we make?"
"Wtat feat urea of our plea for union
ought to be made especially prominent ta
meet the changed conditions?"
