No Significance In the Conference, the Los Angeles Editor-Soldier Pays E. S. Otis a Good Fluhtcr. WASHINGTON, July 3. President McKinley and Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, who arrived here yesterday from the West, had an extended conference to-day on affairs re lating particularly to the campaign in the Philippines. Thty are long-time personal friends and the opportunity of discussing questions of Importance in which they are mutually and deeply interested was enjoyed by both. During the afternoon General Otis took luncheon with the President, subse quently went driving with him and this evening. In company with Adjutant General Corbln, dined with him at the White House. Late to-night, when asked about his confer ence with the President. General Otis re plied: "Really there was nothing significant or specially important about It. We dis cussed pretty thoroughly the situation In the Philippines and, in a reminiscent way, talked, of Incidents in the war of thirty years ago. in which we both had a part. Beyond that there is little to be said. I may say that the President Is quite satisfied with affairs In the Philippines as they are being conducted by Major General Otis. He has implicit confidence in Major General Otis, and that confidence Is not misplaced. Gen. Otis, who. by the way. Is not a relative of mine, is, in all respects, an admirable and efficient officer. He combines all the excellent qualities of the lawyer, the diplomat and tne soldier, and I have not a doubt that he will prosecute the Philippines war to a successful conclusion. The President is fully determined." con tinued General Otis, "to put down the Insur rection in those islands. His mind is made up on that point. Arrangements have been perfected to furnish Major GeneYal Otis with all the men he may need to bring the re bellion to a successful issue. The volunteers who have distinguished themselves as soldiers have seldom done, are being brought home as rapidly as possible. They fought Dnmantiy long arter the contract for their services had expired, and they fought willingly and without a single complaint, aa nooie men always nght. General Otis was asked whether his conference with the President had any reference to tne rumors tnat he might take a place in the Cabinet. "I may say as to that." replied the general. decisively, "that not the faintest suggestion has ever been made to. or bv me. unon the subject by the President. There is abso lutely no foundation for tho etory. General Otis will remain here several davs and then will go East before returning to his uos angeies norae. MASSACRED IN BRAZIL.

State President John M. Hunter, o! the United Mine Workers of, America, left to-day for Carterville. State Secretary-treasurer Ryan, of the United Mine Workers of America, called on Acting Governor Warder this afternoon, he having just returned from Carterville. Mr. Ryan admitted that If the troops had not been rent to Carterville there might have been serious trouble, though he complained that Sheriff Gray was not at Carterville for twenty-four hcurs preceding the arrival of the troops, which he met at Carbondale and accompanied to Carterville. Mr. Ryan asked the acting Governor to see if a conference could not be arranged between Receiver Bosworth. of the St. Louis and Big Muddy Coal Company, and the miners officials at Carterville. with a view of arbitrating. Acting Governor Warder said that he would be pleated to have the trouble settled by arbitration, and said he would ree Judge Allen and have him endeavor to Induce the parties to come together with a view of arbitrating, the mines being under tho receivership of the Federal Court.

Beyond repeated firing in some sertions of the city, claimed by police to be acts of miscreants attempting to cause trouble, which terrorizes residents in those districts, there has been no unusual excitement. A company of negro miners who formerly worked in the Pana mines arrived on the Illinois Central train this afternoon.

Others Hurt In Escaping from n Burning Building; Panic In a Chicago Factory. CHICAGO. July 3. Three reople are believed to be dead beneath the tottering walls of the Western Paper Stock Company's plant, which burned to-day. The dead: BARTHOLOMEW SPARKIEWIETZ. fifty vears old. MRS. JOSIE DOYLE, twenty-one years old. bTEFFINA BAGDlS. Courageous work by several people resulted in the rescue of a large proportion of the one hundred women and twenty men who were employed in the building, but eight of the more impetuous and frenzied ones were badly hurt in escaping from the blazing structure. The injured are: Anna Petroz, back; Agnes CneWskl, burned about feet and hands; Alberta Blens, back injured and left ankle sprained; Agnes Labuda, scalp cut and shoulder injured; Frances Drapa, back injured; Maggie Zgeda, feet burned; Frances Scubada, overcome by smoke and body cut and bruised; Frances Novak, feet burned and body burned and bruised. All of the injured women' were taken to St. Luke's Hospital, about two hundred feet from the scene of the fire. The tire Is thought to have started from spontaneous combustion among some old rags in the basement. The building stood at 14o2-lS Indiana avenue and was a four-story brick structure. The flames quickly spread to the upper floors by way of the elevator shaft and stairway. The highly inflammable nature of the stock caused the building to fill with dense smoke, rendering escape difficult for employes in the three higner stories. The occupants of the building became panic stricken and rushed to the windows. Those who went to the front, where there was a fire escape, were able to make their way to the sidewalk by a ladder from the second story. On the south side of the burning structure, however, many of the frenzied women leaped out of the third-story windows to the roof of a shed. It was at this point that most of the injured suffered. On the north side of the building several women escaped down a ladder raised by Mrs. George Caldwell and Miss Rend, residents of the neighborhood. Josie Kuta, one of the girls employed In the picking room, says she believes several of her companions failed tc escape from the building. Sparkiewletz was last seen rushing toward the elevator shaft on the third floor, but, being old and feeble, he was borne back by the frightened wemen and men and has not been heard of since. He was foreman of the establishment. President Frederick C. Tyler, of the Western Paper Stock Company, said the loss of the concern would reach $5000 on the building and $30,000 or $40,000 on the stock. The building was insured for $21,000 and the stock for $12,000. Alffer's Pulp Works Suffer. QUEBEC. July 3. Bush fires have been very disastrous in the province during the last two days.

English Writer Compares the Yachts and Gives Dimensions. LONDON, July 4. The Daily News this morning publishes an article with illustrative designs comparing the yachts Columbia and Shamrock. The writer gives the following as the dimensions of the cup challenger: Length, 132 feet 2 inches; length on water line, 83 feet 6 inches; beam, 24 feet 6 inches, and draught 2d feet. He says the Shamrock's sail area Is 11,125 square feet and her displacement 147 tona According to this authority she is constructed of nickel steel and manganese bronze. He says: "There is a strong resemblance between the two hulls. The Columbia's fine keel is more aft and she has a more graceful fore line than that of the Shamrock. It Is probable tho latter'. sail area will be enlarged during the preliminary trials. She has a finer model than Valkyrie III, and will cut easier through the water. She is much lighter than that yacht, has a larger sail area and is by far the most dangerous competitor for the cup that ever crossed the Atlantic. The Shamrock stands a very good chance of proving the victor." Sailors Desert the Defender. NEW YORK, July 3. Eight of the crew of the yacht Defender, dissatisfied with conditions aboard the j-acht, left to-day and refused to return. Butler Duncan, manager of the Defender, will try to fill the places thus left vacant in time ior tne trial races off Sandy Hook on Thursday. The men who .left are among the best sailors In the crew. IMPORTANT LAND DECISION. Judge Shtras Says Title Is Yested In the Innocent Purchaser. r DUBUQUE. Ia.. July 3. Judge Shlras, of the Federal Court, decided the famous O'Brien county. Iowa, land case by ruling that title in disputed land Is vested in the Innocent purchasers. A land grant was giv en the Sioux City & Pacific Railway, condi tioned on the construction of a road into Minnesota. Building stopped at Lemars. Of the grant, twenty-one thousand acres are In O'Brien county and eight hundred In Dickinson. The cojnpany sold much of the land to settlers, but Its failure to extend Its road forfeited the grant. The lower courts so decided, the United States Supreme Court sustaining the decision. The lands were reopened and settlers went in and seized property purchased from the rail road. After many years of litigation the court now enters a decree holding the origi nal purchasers entitled to retain the land occupied by them.

GLASS WORKERS' TRUST

BLOWERS, GATHERERS, FLATTEN EUS AXD C LITERS TO COMBINE. Flint Glass lnlon Wins a Biff Victory at Svraysee Alexandria Steel Mills Sign the Scale. Special to the Indlanaclis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 3. What is believed to be the first step toward the amalgamation of the four trades in the window glass industry has been made by the Window Glass Workers Association (blowers and gatherers.) The executive board has officially invited the officers of the Cutters League of America and the Flatteners' Association to send delegates to the convention of L. A. 300, which takes place at Pittsburg, beginning July 11. The report that the officers of the blowers' and gatherers association had requested the cutters' and flatteners officials to cooperate with them In making a wage settlement is not authentic, but it is believed such a proposition will be extended. This Is the first instance that the parent organization has recognized the cutters and tlatteners' organizations, and it shows the breach between the trades is not so great as it was. It is believed that if President Simon Burns, of L. A. 300. be defeated this year the four trades will be reunited, as there is a general belief that more good can be accomplished with the forces united. Burns is held responsible for the disruption a few years ago, and the cutters have no liking for him. : FLINT GLASS VICTORY. Stvayzee Factory, Largest Nonunion Concern, Signs the Scale. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., July 3. After four or five years of continued effort on the part of labor unions, the Swayzee glass factory, at Swayzee, this county, has been unionized. The agreement between the firm and union was signed Saturday night and this morning the plant started with a full force of about two hundred hands, under the rules of the union. The plant was the largest nonunion glass factory in the country and the fact that it has been unionized is a big achievement by the union. The factory also has several machines In operation and these are also worked by union operators. Presi dent Dennis Hayes, of the green-glass work ers unon, has Deen trying in vain, ever since the factory first began operation, five years ago, to bring it into the green-glass union. The factory will operate under the rules of the flint-glass workers' union, a different organization from the one Mr. Hayes is connected with, and the agreement was brought about by T. W. Rowe. organizer, and T. J. MdElherron, executive member of the union. The Swayzee glass factory was kept idle for several months this spring on account of a strike, which practically ruined Its business for this season. The tormer nonunion employes went Into the union and refused to work any longer unless the firm would sign the scale.

SOl'TllWOnTH'S TALENT. It Was the Rare One of Telling a Story for the Story's Sake. Philadelphia Press. All the young and most of the old want a story and nothing out tne story. or mem "The everlasting universe of thine? Flows through the mind and rolls its rapid waves without a suggestion of order, of sequence or of climax. This was so far true of Mrs Southworth that the manuscript of her early stories is said to have been written like an uncial of the fourth century, without paragraph, period or punctuation, word rol lowed word as In the rapid utterance of a swift narrator. This is what a majority of people want. They yearn for two people young, one pret ty and the other handsome, separated by fate8 invidious bar. she rich and he poor or he rich and she poor it is or no conse quence and then in about KW.OM to 200.000 words, in which something happens every five hundred words, they want the two people to surmount all difficulties, or reach a dramatic disappointment. There must be a few characters. The upper world of wealth and ease must be In evidence. The talk must be swift and rapid. The plot must turn on events and acts whici all cd follow and not. as in "Vanity Fair." for Instance, on character, which comparatively few can unerstand. If the characters, particularly the male and female protagonists, are sharply defined. If Incident succeeds Incident, if the story drives straight ahead and the agreeable appetite of love and romance Is satisfled, this is enough. Mrs. Southworth did this sort of thing better than any woman writing in this country, and any but two or three writers anywhere. Her work was not "literature." for this calls for form, order, a sense of Impending and inevitable fate, the light that

never wa3 on sea or land, and at the highest a convincing trust and expression of

Those large codes, which men. or great or good. Interpret and make felt or deeply feel." Mrs. Southworth did not have this, but then she wrote for the New York Ledger and the Philadelphia Saturdav Evening Post, under an earlier ownership, for both of which she was exactly suited. She had a prodigious circulation. She amused millions. bhe corrupted and Injured nobody. She did her particular variety of .work so well that no literary craftsman could read any one of her books without learning something as to tne way to get at people by simple, di rect, continuous narrative. If any one. in the pride of literature as such, thinks Mrs. Southworth's kind of work is easy to do. he cr she had better try it. There is about S25.000 a year waiting for any one who can. The talent for pure narrative, uncaressed by grace, form or inspiration, is es rare as any other unusual gift. It conies to few, and while it is the least of all the powers of expres-slon, when at its liveliest it is. on the whole, the most lucrative. TO SUCCEED THURSTON. Mr. Melklejohn Will Be n Candidate for lulled State Senator. . CHICAGO, July 3. First Assistant Secretary of War Melkeljohn is a candidate for United States senator from Nebraska, to succeed John M. Thurston, whose term expires on March 4, 1901. Mr. Melkeljohn said this evening he would be guIdrU by events. "Mr. Thurston Iras stated he is not a candidate for Vice President, cr any other office, and that he expects to resume the practice of law," he said. "I believe there Is no doubt Nebraska will swing back Into the Republican column next year." Speaking of the Philippine situation the secreiary said: "By the time General Otls's request has been fulfilled he will have an active army of 40.O0 men. Under the President's last crder we will recruit ten full regiments and send them to Manila so they will reach there about the time the rainy searon Is over. They will be recruited from the country at large, officered In the higher ranks by regular army officers, but In the lower ranks by men who have served In the Spanish-American war. There Is no truth in any of the reports that General Miles or General Brooke will be sent to relieve General Otis. STATE SENATOR SHOT. William Flannlgan Killed by W. G. Pllkinetou in Virginia. RICHMOND. Va.. July 3.-State Senator William Flannigan, who was also commonwealth attorney for Powhattan county, was shot and killed at Powhattan courthouse today by W. G. Pilklngton. The shooting was the outcome of a quarrel over the recent canvass for United States senators by a direct vote. Specials from Powhatan Courthouse late to-night quote Commissioner cf Revenue Goode, who was in conversation with Pilklngton at the time of the assault, as sayirg Flarnigan had Pilklngton by the throat when the latter fired the fatal shot. Pilklngton and Flannigan were opposing candidates for commonwealth's attorney In the late election for county officers. Bitterness engendered In the canvass was tho cause of the tragedy. A special coroner's Jury Indicted rilkinrton and he was brought tonight to the Richmond Jail for safe-keeping. COST OF THE FOURTH. F ive Millions Annually Go Yp In Povrder and Smoke. Harvey Lincoln, In Baltimore Herald. To salute the Nation's birthday costs more than it did to conduct a campaign under Washington, five times as much as the value of the commerce which Semmes destroyed In the Pacific when he was cruising around there in the Alabama, and one-third of the money the United States got from England on account of the Geneva award, which award covered all damage once done to the merchant fleet of America by cruisers built in England. The powder burned in firecrackers alone this year would make a monument higher than the Washington monument at the Nation's capital, and it would be four times as broad at the base. The Fourth of July is as well known In China as it Is In the United Stater, for the celebration of the festival of freedom Is In this country one of the sources from which the empire of the "Descendant of the Sun" and the first cousin to all the fixed stars draws a great and steadily increasing yearly revenue. By the banks of the Yangtse-Kiang they keep watch of the calendar and prepare their cargoes of firecrackers against the "Melican man's much bang-bang." The last two weeks In June see a fleet of sailing vessels come gliding in through the Narrows big clippers, such as used to make "Columbia, the Gem or the ocean, and euch as it does a Yankee heart good to se even now. And these great ships are from "Far Cathay." laden down so that the water runs back in lonqr curling waves from the chain plates with the spoils of the East in the shape of the firecrackers of our youth. Don't you remember how you used to put them under a tin pan or In a barrel, so that they would sound louder when they went off? That was years ago. but from the time that the Chinese first found out that the "Melican man" had a day set apart in the calendar upon which he desired to make a noise every American boy has been paying tribute to the Tartar who sits on the throne of China. He Is glad to do It, too. It pleases him quite as much bs paying tribute to the German family which sits on the throne of England. The X5.000.000 which we burn up In powder to celebrate the Fourth of July Is so much greater than the tax imposed upon the colonies by the "stamp act" that there is little comparison. Of course, England never got the revenue she desired from the passage of that iniquitous bill, but if she had It would not have amounted to a tithe of what we now expend in burring powder yearly. In Park place, in New York city, there Is old every year fireworks worth at least $1,000,000. The ships unload their German fireworks in the harbor and the crackers are temporarily stored there. On Monday, June 13, there arrived the bark Penobscot with a cargo composed of firecrackers entirely. She Is of more than 1.000 tons burden, and she was only one of the many In the firecracker fleet. On the shores of the East river there is a great storehouse which is filled with Chinese firecrackers. The ships coma in end unload there, and the cargoes are stored up against the coming of tlfe Fourth of July. It is called the Carey stores, and nobody except the proprietors of the establishment know Just how much of the contribution of China is stored there. But it is by way of San Francisco, that the great stores come. Whole carloads of Chinese fireworks, fresh from the Oriental steamers, are started from 'Frisco for the Interior. A carload of fireworks may cost $1,000. or it may cost $3,000. according to the kind of "Fourth of July" stored therein. "Pieces" planned for special display sometimes cost $1"0 each, while the packet of torpedoes packed in sawdust costs only 1 cent to the wholesale, dealer and 5 cents to the small boy. Besides all the powo which Is burned up In fireworks on the 1 wrth of July there must be taken Into account the amount of powder which Is used In salutes all over the country. Every little village fires a salute to the Nation's birthday, and some of them expend as much powder as do the big cities, for In those places where the Immediate need of things has not carried away the efforts and the souls of the inhabitants patriotism Is stronger and more powder Is burned. To fire a small cannon takes $1 In powder. To fire one of the size needed for a town of ten thousand Inhabitants takes $5 worth of powder at least. No town makes a "salute" of less than twelve discharges of cannon, and you can fieure up the cost for yourself. Then again there are forts scattered over the country and the fleets of the Nation scattered over the world, and wherever there Is a ship and wherever there is a fort there Is powder burned on Independence day. So it all counts up. and when the shadows gather on the Palisades and the long purple streamers of half-fading Pght are thrown across the Hudson powder worth fj.OuO.OOO will have been burned up as a salute to the mighty mistress of the western seas.
