Yesterday O. E. Brlgga asserted that be
acted as secretary of a Joint meeting of the
general committees of the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen In room 91 of the Dellone
hotel Friday afternoon, and at that meeting
It was once voted flatly to strike within
forty-eight hours unleaa the 20 per cent

few minutes later, said Briggs, this action
waa reconsidered, and after a hot debate
It was determined to leave the matter still
to the arbitration In progress at St. Louis.
Messrs. Murphy and Rhoadea, who speak
with authority. Informed The Bee last night
that Mr. Briggs waa not connected wltii
tbelr committees In any way and that bla
statement baa no foundation in fact.
Fifty-Two Roada Involved.
To the Corn Belt, the Missouri Pacific,
the 81. Louis San Francisco and the
Missouri, Kanaas aV Texas roads the de
mand on the part of the conductora and
trainmen of fifty-two roads wa left for
ettlement. The fifty-two cover all terri
tory west and south of Chicago, including
the Illinois Central southern llnee, extend
ing then north to the Duluth, Sooth Shore
Atlantic, west to the Pacific coast and
aouth to the Gulf of Mexico. .When the
movement fpr higher wagea was started a
general committee of conductors'and train
men from every road waited upon each
general manager, but later It was decided
to abide by the results accomplished with
the Gould lines.
After being in conference since January
E these tour committees finally, on last
Thursday, submitted an ultimatum to the
four Gould lines. This waa that freight
train wagea should be raised 15 per cent
and passenger 12 per cent, and that
double-headers should be run on no train
heavier v than one englne'a rating. This
latter condition Is simply equivalent ts
tarring double-headers altogether, for It
la waatlng an engine to add It to a train
that needs but one.

TRIBUTE TO JUDGE TAFT
Army Officer Sneaks ( Work of Gev-
. ernor of ths Phlllav.
pines.
"Ever alnce returning from the Philip'
tines, three month ago, I have seen much
tm. the paper to th effect that Judge
Taft, governor general of thoae Islands,
would soon come back to the state to ao-
cept ttala or that high atatlon. One week
thef had It that be wonld succeed Mr. Root
a aecretary of war. Then be wa to be
come an associate Justice of the supreme
court. Both, of course, are high station.
The latter wa tendered, but Judge Taft
promptly dlln. preferring to remain at

tnnlnjtfl Rut tha ss-ltsttnn for his PAtiirn
-. r "
IrfM n .Inn II waa thnnah that Ha
'did not stop. It wa thought that he
would be recalled to succeed Chief Justice
Fuller upon hi retirement. I earnestly
hope and really believe that nothing in tha
way of official station will tempt Judge
Tatt to abandon his work In the Philippine
Island."
The comment were made by Major J,
II. Watrou of th United State army.
who apent nearly two yeara and halt in
the Philippines, and whose duties took him
to mot of th Uland. occupied by Ameri-
ran soldier. Continuing, Major Watroua
apok In glowing term of th great work
don by Judge Tatt hi associate comml
loner.
"When I think of that work, ot the
astonishing progress made In establishing a
table government, of the mountainous ob
tacles that have been overcome, ot the
thousands of school that bars been opened
and tbelr atrlklog aucceaa In enlightening
those people; of Judge Tatt' great abll
lty, hi tireless energy., bis good heart
and th ample missionary spirit ot which
lie I possesaed, and of bla perfect equip
ment for bla high office, I can but look upon
the proposition to recall him aa a ma
jority of th people looked upon the propo
aitlon to 'swap off Lincoln In 1864, before
this ralgbty task wa completed. We often
hear the remark that Lincoln wa given to
th world '.bat be might do the work which
fell to him between tha Fort Sumter and
Appomattox events, or words to that ef
fect. I a sincerely believe that William
H. Taft wa given to th world t be the
civil leader In carrying to lasting, glorious
success American occupation of the Phil
ippine Islands. Who today think that any
ob could have wrought better than Abra
ham Lincoln did? If Judge Taft remain
over there until his work I completed
until a stable government Is established,
a time that la surely coming th nation
will be aaklng: 'Where could have
found on more suitable than Governor
Taftr
"Tter, 1 another side te thla talk about
Judge Taft for other stations. No office
that a president could bestow npon him
would eonfer higher honor than hi pres
ent exalted atatlon confera. Indeed, he can
win higher honor for himself and his coun
try, do his country snd the world better
service ss the head of a successful admin
istration In the- Philippine Islands than
he could as (.resident of the l olled 8tates."
"You seem to have no doubt that the
Americana will succeed In those faraway
Islands or the Pacific?"
"Certainly not. The army and navy have
made a success, eo far as their part of
the undertaking goes, snd the civil au
thorities are steadily, surely moving' on to
complete, grand success. Do you recall
many Instance In which our good Uncle
Sam has failed to succeed In his undertak
ings? He Is no going to fail in ib.s one.
The day I coming when the whole civil
ized world will honor and praise our coun
try for what It has done lo the Philippine
Islands, t'nele 8am Is destined to win Im
perishable honor . by the wise, unselfish,
statesmanlike performance of the unsought
tasks that fell upon his broad shoulders In
1898."

seventy-five vote or fraction thereof cast
for Thompson for governor, making a total
of US, Instead of eighty-one as under the
old system.
This much was decided by the demo
cratic city central committee at meet
ing In the room of the Jackaonian club list
night, with twenty-three of the twenty
nine member of the committee present er
represented by proxies. In all voting the
Howell faction showed up with fifteen and
the antt-Howell faction with eight votes,
after the preliminary skirmish. In which
the former eucceeded In overruling the
chair and seating their own proxies.
Chairman W. O. Gilbert presided.
The meeting was not exactly a lave feast.
The harmony prevailing was the came kind
of harmony that keeps people wondering
how soon the patrol wagon will get a riot
call, and when the meeting was over the
antl-Howell men were Just as willing as
ever to bet the clothes on their backs that
convention day will be a snowy time for
the coal candidate.
Executive Committee Session.
In the afternoon Chairman C. L. West of
the executive committee called that com
mittee together "to clear himself of any
charge of failure to do his full duty." He
wanted to know the committee's pleasure.
Chairman Gilbert of the central commit
tee said that his first pleasure would be to
learn who the duece appointed Olrlch
Jellen to take the place of Stanley Let
ovsky, who bad gone republican. He was
Informed that the executive committee
had made the selection. His answer wa a
demand to know If he himself didn't have
the appointing power, and Chairman West
conceded that he had. Accordingly, Mr.
Jellen was escorted to the door and Mr.
Gilbert' selection. C. J. Smythe, was
eated aa a member of the committee.
Ed P. Smith moved that as the city cen
tral committee was to meet In the evening
all matters be referred to It and L. J.

offered a a substitute a motion that the
primary and convention dates be selected
by the executive committee, but this motion
died for lack of second and the Smith
motion prevailed. Adjournment waa taken

Fireworks In the Evening;.
When Chairman Gilbert called the main
committee to order in the evening R. J.
Altcblaon of the Howell faction took one

done under cover. Joe Rapp, who studies
law In the Herdman office, seconded the
motlori. J. J. Mahoney of the antt-Howell
crowd was for leaving the light turned
on. He moved the committee proceed to
bualner, and added that be aaw no reason
for keeping things dark. Jo Butler sec
onded this motion. ''
Before attempting ' to take a ballot the
chair decided that it would be well to
aaoertaln who waa entitled to vote, and
there then arrived a large, adult row over
the proxies.
Joe Butler protested against Will Herd-
man'a being allowed a voice, aa there had
been found on the record no mention that
Her&man ever had been made a member
of the committee, but withdrew ht pro
test upon being informed by the chair
that Herdman bad been made, such member
at a certain committee meeting. P. N.
Tobln was challenged a a representative
of the Fourth ward on the ground that he
has been resident in the Eighth' ward for
a year and a half. W. T. Johnson wa
objected to by the aame protestant, Butler,
because now In the Eighth inatead of the
Sixth. J. J. O'Connor waa objected to as
a proxy for John T, Evan because Evan
hasn't been, J. J. Mahoney said, a resident

RELIEF FOR THE STRICKEN
Eussian wovernment Providing for the Needs
of Famine Sufferers.
PLAN SEEMS TO BE WELL ORGANIZED
Dlstrlbatloa Is Made Through Fin
nish Committee Instead of Gov
ernor General, Who Shows
Slgrns of Belnaj Biased.
BT. PETERSBURG, Feb. 7. The corre
spondent of the Associated Press returned
yesterday from Holslngfors. He found
measures for the relief of the distress In
Finland apparently well organlied.
The distribution of funds Is carefully su
pervised. The Finnish national relief com
mittee has received up to the present $16,
000 from American relief organizations.
General surprise and gratitude I expressed
at the large contributions which the com
mittee haa received.
Other foreign countries hav contributed
13,000, and in Russia J2S.000 haa been col
lected,' including $14,000 from the Russian
Red Cross society, of which the dowager
czarina 1 th eprotectrea; $2,000 from the
csar and $10,000 from the csarewlcb.
The Finn were agreeably aatonlshed at
the fact that the imperial gitta aad the
Russian contributions through the official
St. Petersburg committee, organized by the
Interior minister. Von Plehwe, with Ad
miral Craemer aa chairman, were sent to
the Finnish committee Instead ot Governor
General- Brobrlckoff. The governor, how
ever, la receiving the funds collected by
the Novoe Vremya.
Governor Has a Preference.
All this la. regarded as significant, since
General Brobrlckoff in his official organ de
clared that justice demanded that In the
distribution of the government fund de
cided preference must be given to com
mune whose Inhabltanta obeyed the mili
tary aervlce decree.
The Flnlandera regarded this as tanta
mount to an admlasion that the money
passing through General Brobrtckoffa bands
la uaed against the Flnulsh committee, to.
eluding $49,000 which remained from the
previous famine fund, amounting to $181,
000. Owing to the demoralisation caused by
the money distribution at the time of the
lust famine the committee now restricts
help, excepting In the extreme cases, to th
distribution of foodstuffs, seeds and mate
rials, for cottaga Industries, as loan In
return for work.
In some cases, on the advice ot the ag
ricultural experts who have been through
out the country, small loans of money for
farm Improvements are granted on the con
dltlon that If the Improvements are actually
mado the committee will cancel 60 per cent
of the debt If It Is repaid by 1906.
Needy school children are boused, clothed,
boarded and Instructed free. The commit
tee accounts are audited by the Bank of
Finland, and are regularly published In tb
newspaper separate from the provlbclal
funds and the senate appropriation that
are uaed for building roada and canals for
drainage purposes.

Her love is such that she cannot survive
her assassinated lover. I interpret the role
of Hermlono differently, perhaps, from
other actresses. ;
"I felt very nervous. Yes, I never go
on the (stage without feeling nervous at
the start. Every night when I face th
footlights I suffer several minutes from
nervous contraction of the lower part of
the face, and at first performances I feel
uch keen agony that It requires a strong
effort to overcome my aversion to appear
ing." ,
The World correspondent asked her rea
sons for requesting Saint Saens to write
music for "Andromaque."
Mme. Bernhardt answered: "The specta
tors must be prepared for the special at
mosphere of the piece, so that when the
curtain rises their minds, hearts and soul
may be assimilated to the general sur
roundings of the drama. Music alone can
accomplish this transformation of person
ality. Even between acts the music of tho
play will serve as a link between the dif
ferent scenes, preventing the minds of the
spectators Irom falling from the height
to which they have been transported."

Hemorrhoids cause a sensation of heat,
tension and itching In a region where la
located the most sensitive nerves of the
human system, and the continued Irrita

nerves. This would easily have been
avoided If the patient had carefully treated
the case ot piles from their first appear
