ENGLAND‘S LA§DR- DISPUTE.
Reply of the ’Employers and Men to
the Proposal for a Conference.
(Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun.)
I
London, Oct. 29.—-’1‘h.e Employers’ Fed- ‘
eration yesterday replied to the pro-
posals made on behalf of the Govern-
ment by Mr. C. T. Ritchie, president
of the Board of Trade, looking to the ,
ending of the strike in the engineering '
trades. ,
The Federation maintains that the
basis for a settlement prOposed by the
Board of Trade leaves the relations be-
tween the employers and workmen the
, same as they were before the stoppage I
of work, and that therefore there would
be alikelihood of further troubles.
The reply of the Amalgamated So-
ciety of Engineers to the Board of
Trade‘s proposals expresses the wish
‘ that before a conference shall be held
a definition be given of what is meant
by interference with the employers'
business.
only wish to secure just terms for
labor. Subject to other safeguards, the
men are willing to enter into a discus-
sion of the preliminaries of a confer-
ence.
' Both replies avoid the kernel of the
dispute, and each side seeks to cast
upon the other the odium for a rejec-
c tion of mediation. It remains with the
\Board of Trade to say whether it can
proceed“. on: the above basis with its
efforts» to end the struggle.
Tire-u consensus of .opinion is lthat
there, is little hope of a conference be-
ing held, this belief being based on the
attitude of both sides as displayed in
their replies.
KILLED HIS FATHER.
Fl‘annelly Might Have Been Lynched
but for a Fire Alarm.
Redwood City, Cal., Oct. 29.—Young
Thomas W. Flannelly, who, while
drunk, killed his father, had a narrow
escape from lynching yesterday. After
shooting three bullets into his father's
'body on Tuesday night because the lat-
ter had decided to evict him from his
milk ranch, he took' refuge at the
ranch, and in a fight over his arrest,
shot Sheriff McEvoy in the arm. The
wound appeared trifling at first, but
blood poisoning appeared, and the doc—
tors say that Sheriff McEvoy may die.
When this news was circulated
around town, there was great excite-
ment, and vigilantes hastily organized.
The Sheriff’s deputies were warned,
and they turned in a false fire alarm,
which took the crowd to another part
of the town. Meanwhile the murderer
" was hustled into a wagon and driven
toward San Jose, where he was soon
lodged in jail. ,
Canada-”s Forest Fires.
Ottawa, Oct. 29,—The terrible bush
'"Ires which have raged in Canada this
reason have convinced the Canadian
Government of the necessity of taking
immediate steps to prevent them in
future. One of the Cabinet Ministers
says; “The starting of a fire in the
! woods should be made a criminal of-
fense and punished by heavy penalties.
I do not belieye there have been many
instances of large bush fires which
have not been the- direct outcome of
gross neglect and carelessness. Our for-
est. wealth is worth to us more than
any gold 'mines. Much of it has been
’ swept away by great fires. It is a well-
known fact that there was no such
thing as these ”great fires when the red
nen - inhabited this country before
lacques Cartier sailed up the St. Law-
~ence.”
Sherman Won’t Speak in Ohio.
Washington, Oct. 29.—'Secretary Sher-
man has addressed a letter to L.
Markhreit, a Republican friend in Ohio,
explaining that while he will go to
Dhio to vote, he is precluded as Secre-
tary of Statevfrom making a political
meech by the unwritten law observed
since the days of Thomas Jefferson."
- Ehe Secretary then proceeds to discuss
the political situation, and makes an
,earnest appeal for an indorsement of
. President McKinley’s Administration
1nd the re-election of Senator Hanna
1nd Governor Bushnell. Mr. Sherman
iays that the pending canvass in Ohio
vs;a recital of the issues of 1896. The
arid? and the free coinage of Silver, he
;ays, are the paramount issues, and al-
ways will be, that separate the politi-
val‘ parties. -
His Throat Cost Him His Life.
San Jose, Cal, Oct. 29.—After four-
.een daysf trial Dan Dutcher, the 17-
Iear-old farm hand, was acquitted of
:he in ' er of Ranchman Schofield.
Mter t e "verdict Mrs. Schofield, who
lad been held as an accessory, was re-
eased. ‘Schofield wanted to mortgage
llS ranch in order to go to the Klon-
iike,'but his wife refused. They had
.Iiolent ‘quarrels, and in one of them
Schofield seized a gun and threatened
. no kill his wife, when young Dutcher
mot him dead. The wife and boy at
"irst asserted that Schofield was as-
Iassi‘n'ated by some enemy, but after-
. .vard confessed. Dutcher believed 'he
was in earnest when he threatened to
:il-l his wife, and so shot him.

- A Disgusting [Habit 'Alto---
gether T00 Familiar.
.How to Stop It.
It. may be a habit.
It may be catarrh.
But catarrh is dangerous.
The habit is disgusting.
Cata rrh causes headaches, inflamma-'
tion of the eyes, deafness and consump-
1.011.
The habit causes humiliation.
Catarrh and habit should cured.
That they can be cured and have
been cured, and in N orwalk, too, the
following is proof:
Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank
street, South Norwalk, says: “I have
been troubled with catarrh for some
Lime; my head and nose seemed pretty
well. stuffed ~up, and the quantities of
matter that ran into my throat at night
would cause me to hawk, spit and often
gag in the morning, before I could clear
my throat. I got some California Ca-
tarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,and
already these symptoms are very much
better. My throat is finely free from
all matter in the morning, and my
whole head feels much clearer.”
By the use of California Catarrh Cure
perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages
is secured, and the peculiar properties
of the herbs used in its production not
only cleanse the mucous membrane of
all puriform matter, soothing and al-
laying all inflammation, but also effec-
tually destroy all forms of fungus which
may grow in the throat and nasal pas-
sages.
It has cured cases of almost total
deafness, restored the ability to detect
odors to persons who had almost forgot-
ten what an odor was, and has cured
cases that surely would have resulted
in total blindness. Let no one who has
suffered any of the evils of catarrh,‘
hesitate to secure a bottle of California
Catarrh Cure. With full faith that he
will obtain relief and cure. .
California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers; 50 cents, three times as much
one dollar.
YOUNG SON FOR CLEVELAND.
Baby Boy Born to the Est-President
Yesterday. '
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 29.—Mrs. Grover
Cleveland gave birth to a son at 1
o’clock yesterday afternoon. Mother
and child are doing well. The baby
weighed twelve pounds. The Cleve-
lands now have four children, Ruth,
Marion, Esther and the latest arrival.
The ex-President’s great desire is grat-
ified. He has long wished for a son.
The news spread quickly around the
town and campus, and the students
made merry last night over the pros-
pect of a big guard or even a centre
rush for the 1917 ’varsity eleven. The
announcement of the safe. arrival of
Grover Cleveland, Jr., was made on
the university bulletin board in the
afternoon. A large crowd of students
were soon collected, and somebody
called for “g a triple cheer for the kid,”
which was given with such a hearty
will that the noise Cufild plainly be
heard in the Cleveland house.
A little knot of Mr. Cleveland’s per: -
sonal friends gathered in the drawing-..
room of the Bayard avenue house last
night to offer congratulations. The
child, mufl‘led in softest clothes, 'was,
brought into the room and a't‘oast was
drunk to his health. . '
FEAR OF CUBAN VENQEANCE.
It Is’All That Prevents Great Ont-
rn'g‘es in Havana.
Havana, Oct. 27, via Key West. Oct.
28'.—Two dynamite bombs exploded on
Tuesday
Cerro, Havana City. The bombs did
some damage to baracks occupied by
Spanish soldiers, but neither killed nor
wounded anybody. It is generally be-
lieved that the explosion was caused
by Cubans merely to warn the Spanish
volunteers not to carry out their
threats of committing murder during
the proposed demonstration in favor of
Gen. Weyler. There is no doubt that
if the volunteers repeat their butcheries
of 1869 some conspicuous Spaniards will
be killed by the Cubans in retaliation,
and Havana will fall' into a state-of,
anarchy in which the foreign residents
will be imperiled.
Only fear of Cuban revenge is likely
to prevent rapine and murder by the
volunteers on the defenseless native
families living in the capital. The re-
port that the government of Senor
Sagasta, in order to prevent those out-
rages, intends to discharge the volun-
teers and disarm them, is not credited
here by the people who know the rela-
tions which "the Spanish governments
have always maintained with the sav-
age mob. officially styled “the most
patriotic Institution of Volunteers of
Havana."
EX-M AYOR CURTIS MARRIED.
Slips nwny girom Boston and Weds
Miss Waterman in Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 29.—Ex-Mayor Edwin C.
Curtis, of Boston, was married here
at noon yesterday to Miss Maud Water-
man at the home of Miss Wa-terman's
brother-in—law and sister, Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse Hall. Bishop Cheney performed
the ceremony. The couple left last
evening for a brief wedding trip before
their return to Boston. So far as the
Bos'tOn public is concerned, the wed-
ding was a runaway match. Ex-Mayor
Curtis is engaged in a political cam-
paign in which he is expected to‘stand
for a second election at the hands of
the Republicans, and on that account
all arrangements for the marriage were
kept secret.
Miss Waterman has been living with
her sister for two years, so the ex-
Mayor quietly slipped away from his
friends, came out here.- and was mar-
ried before any of them knew of it.

Rome, O,ct. 29.——-The next consistory

ernment. . ‘ '

tion of the Propaganda Fide have

mitted to the Pope for the bishoprics
