WASHINGTON, Sept. Il.-Thc case of As
sistant Foreman W. A. Miller of the gov
ernment printing office, who whs reinstated
In his position by order of President Roose
velt, sfter he had been dismissed because
of his dismissal from the local bookbinders'
union, came up for formal discussion at
the meeting today of the executive council
of the American Federation of Iabor.
No statement could be had at the conclu
sion of the meeting, from President Gomp
rs or members of the council, on the mat
ter, and the usual dally statement given out
completely Ignored It.
A new feature of the case Is action by
President Whltmore of the Stereotyped
union, employed at the government printing
Office, who petitioned President Gompers
In favor of Miller, urging him not to give
the support of the federation to the attack
upon President Roosevelt sent out from the
Central Labor union of this city, and which.
It Is tald, President Whltmore character

President Whltmore Is a life-long repub
lican and one of the most prominent union
men of the city. . It is stated that some
other strong union men at the government
printing office will Join President Whlt
more In his stand.
The president's attitude toward union la
bor came up before Columbia Typograph
ical union No. 101 yesterday In the form of
a resolution criticizing his course in the
Wller case. The purport of the resolution
was similar to - that sent throughout the

LONDON. Sept. 21. The question of the
support of the nationalist party for the
new fiscal policy of retaliation is said to
be the subject of negotiations between the
government and the Irish leaders. It Is re
ported that Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham
Is offering a concession In the shape of a
Roman Catholic college at Dublin, while
the nationalists, on the other hand, are
emnndlng a measure of local self-govern
ment aa the price of their support. Whether
or not these statements are well founded, It
appears clear that the nationalists Intend
to use the cabinet crisis as a lever.
William O'Brien, M. P., speaking at
Cork tonight, declared unequivocally that
both of the English parties were broken

which ever came out on top. The future

plan and possibly the Chicago Polytechnto
hospital.
The Omaha delegation to the Ogden Irri
gation congress has returned tn the city
with the exception of H. K. Burket. A. V.
Tukey. G. G. Wallace and J. H. Parrotte.
"All of the Omaha delegation," said G. H.
Fayne. "were surprised at the extent of the
rrlgated land in Nebraska. This especially
of the Platte valley through which we
raesed. Tho Irrigated fields looked e-en
more prosperous than the fields of' Utah
nd Wyoming. Irrigated lands In Utah sell
for from 175 to ISO an acre and do not
produce any more alfalfa or sugar beets
than are produced In Nebraska, where on
the Platte river they sell for from 215 to fcX.
Mr. Payne persuaded Secretary of Agri
culture WPson to stop on his way from
Cgden east at North Platte, where on Sat-
rday In company with several of the ex
perts on drainage and Irrigation connected
with the Agricultural department, Secre
tary Wilson spent tho day looking over the
beet Industry and the wonderful crops of
Haifa. He also Inspected very carefully
the new site Just selected for the state ex
perimental farm of 3,000 acres. The secre
tary wished to ascertain the extent of Irri
gation in this state and also the prospect
and condition of the sugar beet crop. He
pronounced the Irrigation outlook as very
promising. The secretary spent Sunday in
Omaha and he with hie son took dinner
with Mr. Payne.
"This congress did a great dual of good,"
tald N. A. Kuhn, "by arousing Interest all
over the country and by educating peopl
to the good of Irrigation in sections other
than the arid states. Statistics were pre
sented irom Illinois showing how on irri
gated land there the increase In values had
In one year paid for the Irrigation plant.
The congress made sentiment all over the
country In favor of governmental Irrigation
work, showing that private enterprise could
not cop with the problem. Every acre of
land in the west brought under Irrigation
helps Omaha wholesale and retail trade."
Mr. Kuhn also stopped In the Spring Val
ley oil region and waa much pleased with
the propects there of Omahans. They are
trlking wells, he said, which produce from
forty to fifty barrels a day without shoot
Ing. They are now putting In tanks of 1.000
barrels each so that the oil can be taken
care of. There are rumors of a big deal on
hand and 210,000 Is said to be on deposit In
Evanston for auch a purpose. The Omaha
people are interested in the Omaha-Wyoming
company and in tha Uinta Petroleum
company.

REGICIDES CONTROL KING
Man Who Plotted Death of Predecessor
Holds Inoriroinating Letter.
TROOPS CONSPIRE AGAINST ASSASSINS
Two-Tlilrda of tho Officers ot th
Army Said to De Concerned In
Attempt to Overthrow
Them.
LONDON, 8ept. 22. The Times corres
pondent at Belgrade sends a review of th '
situation In Servla, In which he says ths
military conspiracy - at Nlsh, directed -against
the regicides, is far graver than the
government dare acknowledge. Of a total
of 1,600 ofTy-ers 1.000 are said to b concerned 1
in It and probably the bulk of the nation
secretly sympathise with them.
The clique of assassins, however, hold nil
the chief civil and military offices, tha keys
of tha arsenal and the treasury, and any
one crossing their path Is doomed. The
king Is surrounded and under the rule of
the assassins, and many doubt If he will
ever shake himself free.
Minister Gentchltch, In whose house th
regicide plot wss hatched, and who con
ducted the secret negotiations with King
Peter, is alleged to possess an Incriminat
ing letter which is k,pt hanging ever the
royal head. Lately, however, the regicides
are beginning to reallle that they have gone
too far and must moderate their attitude.
