UNION POLITICS IN THE STRIKE talrm( that Presidency of Team -iters' Association Has Been Factor la Prolonging Troable Shea Makes a Denial. CHICAGO. June U.-The Chicago Team Owners' association, an organization em ploying 8,U0U union teamsters, has decided to remain neutral in the present labor struggle now in progress In Chicago. Ever since the commencement of the teamsters' strike the Team Owners' association has been anxious to have the question of mak ing deliveries to strikebound houses sub mitted to arbitration. The teamsters by a unanimous vote refused to agree to thu proposition and for a time it was believed that the team owners would force a strike of these 8,000 drivers by ordering them to make deliveries to firms Involved in the strike. In an effort to learn the sentiment of the members of the association regard ing the. matter it was decidi-il to take a referendum vote on the question. This vote was completed today and resulted in 156 of the members voting to remain neu tral during the trouble and In three men bers voting to compel the teamsters to obey orders. The decision reached Dy tne owners means that there will be no strike of these men and the threatened expan slon of the trouble in this direction has been averted. The Team Owners' asso ciation will hold a meeting tomorrow night when an official announcement of the re suit of the referendum will be made. Negotiations Are Abandoned. Negotiations for peace, which promised for a time last week to be successful, have unnarentlv been abandoned for the present, at least, as both sides are so far apart on any plans of settlement by mediation that further efforts in this direction are believed to be futile. The employers declare that they have conceded every point possible. The strikers assert that a settlement along the lines proposed by the employers would mean "dishonorable surrender, ana mis tne onv dais of the Teamsters' union emphatically declare they will never do. Union Politics a Factor.' On of the causes for the prolongation of the present strike Is said to be the political ambitions of several Chicago union leaders, At least three of the Chicago labor leaders desire to be president ot the national or anization of teamsters.' President Bhea is also desirous of re-elec tton. and these four men, it is asserted have been making every effort possible to control the Chicago delegates to the next convenUon, which wilt be held In Phlladel phia August 7. Seven of the local unions elected delegates to the convention toaay Of these delegates three were Instructed - r,ir Rhea, and the other four were unln- tructed. With the election of these delegates out of the way. It was said by a labor leader tonight that the union leaders would get together and bring about a settlement of the strike. When asked In regard to thl matter tonight President Shea declared that there was no truth In the story and that all the union men were perfectly sat lsded with the way In which he has man aged the strike. "There will be no settle ment of the strike," said Shea "until the employers show some disposition to offer us reasonable terms." y Charlea Crelghtou Says Disease Is Dae to Poor Drulnuge and Lark of Sunshine. GIRL SHOT DOWN AT HOME 1 Indians entertain editors Fifty Thousand Persons Attend Buf- falo Feast at BUaa, Okla., la Honor of National Order. YDON. June 11. (8peclal Cablegram ie Pee ) Dr. Charles Crelghton, who lust returned from India, where he for the purpose of inquiring on the nto some of the circumstances con I with the prevalence of the plague, mmonced a series of agitations vhich r promise of bringing about numerous reforms In India. In the first place. Dr. Crelghton Is not In omplete accord with somo of the onclu- ons of the bacteriologists. Ills first st acks with reference to the commission of 189S, of which he said there was not a sin gle epidemiologist upon It, a.vl that Its scientific character was ruined by two causes: First, because the two medical members who wrote the report out aside all evidence that did not come within their bacteriological point of vlev, and secondly, because the two departmental nipmbers were disinclined to look into the error or omissions of sanitation which had prepared the way for the plague, especially in Bom bay City. Dr. Crelghton declares that the trouble always and everywhere 'ias boon from crowded sites too long inhibited without drainage. He cited the "ase ot the oil Ul lage of Sharpur, where the mud houses cover the sides und summits of conical mounds of earth doubtless formed by the ehrls of former vlllnges upon the same Ite which may have been growing by ac cretions ot rubbish ever since the time when Alexander overthrew Penis In the vicinity. The more compact the site, or the greater the congestion of houses upon It, the more the soli will be filled with or ganic Impurities. Boil has the property of breaking up organic matter by oxidation and nitrification, It filters off and retains organic suhstances suspended or dissolved n water, arrests the action of ferments and retains bacteria In its upper layer. But If the upper stratum be saturated with or ganic matters beyond the power of the soil to enter Into combination with them each new accretion sinks to the depe layers unchanged, to undergo putrefaction or re duction by ferment, so that beyond a cer tain point the self-cleansing action of the soli breaks down. The limit of endurance s constantly passed in old Inhabited sites; and that the Infection of plague resides In the ground is now accepted by every prac tical man In India who has been on plague duty and Is perceived Intuitively by the people themselves. With reference to the future, Dr. Crelgh ton finds some comfort In the historical fact that former great epidemics of plague appear to have died out in seven or eight years, and he thinks that the present one already shows signs of declining. But, after seeing a good many of the dreadful mud villages, he has come to think that their miserable structure Is the real reason why Indian plains are cursed with plague, and that there can be no real cure, but a more civilized kind of a dwelling and a great re vival ot the native building arts as lllage Industries. .

The gen Murderer a Young Farmer Whoso Advances Dead Girl Had Repulsed and Mho Deliberately Pre pared for Bloody Deed. PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., June 11. (Spe cial.)

The news of the murder spread quickly and soon several hundred armed men were scouring the country In search of the mur derer. Bloodhounds were also put on the trail, but the search was abandoned this morning, practically no trace having been obtained of Ploehn's whereabouts. The theory of the officers Is that he Is either hiding In the dense timber near the scene of his crime or has drowned himself In tho river, rioehn Is 27 years of age and for the past four years has been making his home with tho Goos family. Prepared for Deed Deliberately. Early Saturday morning young Ploehn, In company with a relative, drove to town with some milk.

On the occasion of the chief secretary's visit to Belmullet an attempt was made to light a ben fire In his honor. It was, how ever, promptly frustrated by several teach ers and curates. The proposition to light the bonfire came from Mr. Carson, a lead ing Protestant merchant of the town. A correspondent of the Irish Times says that Mr. Carson's action has so incensed the members of the United Irish league that an effort Is being made to deolare a boy cott against him for the purpose of hurt ing his business.

He was told that the supper hour had passed, whereupon he started for his room. There he must have planned the tragedy, as every indication points to the fact that he cleaned and loaded the revolver, and, after removing a pair of boots which he had been wearing, returned to the kitchen.

Employment so far as trades unions were concerned was not very good last year. Taking the average, six In every 100 were unemployed throughout the year, against five In 1903 and In 1902, and three in 1901. Of the large mass of workmen who do not belong to trade unions the return does not speak, but the fact that the unem ployed unionists were more In number than In any year since 19o4 gives a good In dication of what must have been the con dition among those who have not had the advantage of a combination to aid them In obtaining employment. The number of disputes resulting In strikes again showed a decrease. Only 334 were recorded during the year, against 387 In 1903. 442 In 1902, and 642 In 1901. The disputes only affected 9.1,922 work people, less than one-third of the number In 1902, and they lost a total of 1,416, 266 In 1902, and they lost a total of 1,416,265 In 1903 and 3,5O0,0CO days In 1902. Seventeen per cent of the disputes ended in favor of the work people, and 48 per cent in favor of the employers. The re mainder were compromised. There was little fluctuation in favor of wages during 1904, and where there was any change It was chiefly on the wrong side.

It appears that Mrs. William Wills, 1816 Charles street, was the victim. Her pocketbook was seized by one of the roustabouts who goes by the name of Jack Burns, near Twenty third and Charlea. She tried to hold the man, but he wrenched himself away, after striking her twice In the face. He then made a dash for the horse tent and dis appeared. Later he was detected peace fully sleeping, by one of the small boya who followed the crowd. Officers Hudson and Thomas were at once brought to the spot, where the man lay between the knees of one of the other men. When aroused his Identity could no longer be doubted, for his neck was still bleeding from the unmistakable scratches of the woman's finger nails. The blood on his neck was seen by several bystanders as the man scooted Into the tent. The man threw down the woman's handbag after taking the purse, which contained, accord ing to the statement of Mrs. Wills, about $2. Burns was given a ride to the police Bta tlon In a patrol wagon. SHOULD INSURE PERMANENT PEACE Some Qnarantee to Be Insisted Upon Before Armistioe is Granted, RUSSIA AWAITS PLEASURE OF ENEMY Nippon Will Be Allowed to Select Time and Place of Meeting Commissioner is to Have Limited Powers. TOKIO, June 11. 8 p. m. The Japanese continue to maintain an attitude of reserve toward the question of peace. There were demonstrations in the streets of the capital late Saturday evening and today students organized a celebration, but a rainstorm speedily cleared the streets. It seemed to be the popular fear that Japan will sacrifice the advantage of Ad miral Togo's victory as well as Field Mar shal Oyama'a opportunities by consenting to an armistice now. It Is felt that Togo's victory opens the entire Russian Pacific coast to invasion and that Oyama Is capable of speedily taking Harbin, cutting the railway and Isolating Vladivostok. It Is also feared that the Russians will take advantage of an armis tice to Improve their positions and strengthen their forces. There is a general demand that Japan carefully safeguard Its Interests It an armistice Is declared. I Sunday brought no Important develop ments In the situation. No Information concerning Russia's formal answer to Presi dent Roosevelt's proposal has been received here and the government preserved an at titude of silence. JIJI Sounds Warning. The JIJI says: "Japan has shown a willingness to appoint plenipotentiaries to meet the Russians and negotiate peace, but It Is premature to think this will lead to the ultimate conclusion ot peace. Much as Japan would like to see peace effected, nothing short of the full rights of victors and placing the peace of the Orient on a permanent basis will sat isfy Japan. It is premature to discuss tho terms of peace. It probably will become necessary to arrange an armistice at the commencement of negotiations, and It will be essential to obtain some guarantee be fore concluding an armistice in order to prevent the Interests and positions of Japan from suffering In the event of negotiations being broken off. The great and unprece dented Japanese victory must not be for gotten. Russia's great power Is nearly broken down. It might require years be fore the ultimate result of the war is at tained. Japan does not fear the prolonga tion of the war, but the heavy losses of lives Involved move the people from the depths of their hearts." The JIJI thanks President Roosevelt and pays tribute to him for his action. It con cludes by warning the people to be pro pared for the non-success of the negotia tions and for the possible necessity of con tinuing the struggle. The Nlchl Nlchl writes in the same strain, warning the people not to count on peace while the war party In Russia continues to exert its influence over the emperor. It urges Japan to InslBt on some guarantee so as to secure Its protection If an armistice should be declared. Japan's terms may not be exacting, tho paper says, but the fact of its unqualified victory must not be for gotten. The Nlchl Nlchl concludes by say ing that "the situation requires calmness and watchfulness." Russia is Waiting. ST. PETERSBURG, Juno 11.-11:15 p. m. Russia Is waiting for Japan to fix the time and the place when and where the Japanese terms will be placed In the hands of Rus sia's representative. The foreign office ex pects that the delay will be brief. The emperor's government would prefer that Paris should be the scene of the initial step, but It Is explained to the Associated Press that neither the place nor the per sonality of the Russian representative mat ters greatly. The Russian representative will not be a plenipotentiary with full power to negotiate. His duty will prac tically be confined to the reception and transmission to his government of the Jap anese terms for decision as to wether they afford a basis, for actual peace negotiations. He will be clothed with power to effect an agreement for the suspension ot hostilities, which suspension will probably be for a very limited period, during whloh Russia must decide the mome.ntus question ot lace or a prolongation of the war. During this temporary armistice both countries probably will be free to continue the move ment of troops and munitions of war within prescribed limits, although nothing definite on tills point will be known until the meet-' Ink takes place.

If Russia finds that the terms for a basis Is one which negotiations can pro ceed, regular plenipotentiaries will be ap pointed, the number being decided by the belligerents themselves, and then It is not impossible that the negotiations might bo transferred to Manchuria, as President Roosevelt is believed to have suggested. It Is stated at the Foreign office that the question of plenipotentiaries has not yet been officially considered, but it is regarded as almost certain that Huron Hosen, tho ambussador to the United States, on ac count of his long and Intimate acquaint ance with far eastern affairs besides hi familiarity with Japanese will be selected. George de Btaal, who preceded Count Benkendorff as Russian ambassador at London and who was president of the peace conference at Tho Hague In 1899, might bo another, although his advanced age and the fact that he has been for some years out of touch with active diplo macy, might militate against him. The number of plenipotentiaries would be a matter of mutual agreement, though Rus sian precedents lean to two. President Roosevelt also might be of service in arranging these preliminaries, but Russia would be disposed to respect her advice to settle all questions after the first meeting diiectly with Japan. While proflcrinr al" 'ha aid In his power, it Is well underitocd thut the president having served to bring the representatives of the warring countries face to face, be lieves it would be to the tK-st Interests of all concerned that he step aside.
