If the Latter la Elected lauy DeleKitte Will Quit the Convention at Kansas City. KANSAS CITY. Sept. 27 Pittsburg, Cleveland. Buffalo and Wheeling delegates, p printing 1m) meu, dp ided at a meeting here to-night to withdraw from the International Association of Structural Iron and Bridge Workers in the event of the continued dominance of Samuel J. Parks, the New York walking delegate, in the annual convention now holding. Michael Faherty, chairman of the Pittsburg delegation, will direct the fight against Parks on the floor of the convention. The injection of Parks and his influence hs s" shaped affairs that the New York walking delegate is an issue as directly opposed tu the Buchanan regime and it has been decided to fight it out on that line by re-electing Buchanan. At a caucus of Buchanan men to-night it was figured that the president could count on forty-three votes. H. F. Donnelly, of Albany, is to be the Parks candidate for the presidency. Those opposed to him' assert that his election will m an a reigu of bossism by Sam Parks and that they will withdraw from the international body if it comes about. Donnelly to-night makes the positive claim that he nill bo e!ted, asserting that h-i has fiftyfive votes out of 102 pledged to him. A caucus, attended by Parks and his followers, is in session to-night and it is said that a plan to expedite the business of the convention to an early adjournment is under consideration. Parks and his followers profess to believe that President Buchanan and his supporters intend to attempt the disruption of the present organization, that they may reorganize the convention before a new set of officers is elected. Parks wants to finish the business of the convention, including the election of officers, before Buchanan can Accomplish the disruption. The refusal of the convention to graut a charter to the new union kiiowu as the "New York Housesmiths' l"niu. " Which sent four delegates to this convention, Delegate Parks says, is h closed incident. The four delegates, in a abatement issued to the convention, say: "Iu refusing a charter to the New York Housesmiths' Union you have virtually indorsed all that is bad and rotten in trade unionism. By your action you have lost to your body the greatest city in the United 8tatee. All present refuse to recognize a union which will in the end be the dominant power in the iron trades iu New York." The statement attacks Samuel Parks and continuing says: "Keep that man iu and within two months there will be nothing left of No. 2, and the international union will be down and out as far as New Yuk Is concerned. Now we will say that any organization that relies upon brute force to maintain its supremacy in the end Will end in disorder and disruption." Delegate Parks said to-night: "I am quoted in New York as saying that I am going to raise all kinds of trouble upon my return there. Present conditions do not exactly call for strikes. I do not intend to call any strike among the structural iron workers engaged on buildings in New York. But If there is not a change in the conditions at the East river bridges I shall start something there in about two weeks.'' President Buchanan said this afternoon: "I know of no reason why there should be any further trouble in the convention. There will be no split. " Strike off 15.000 Miners Threatened. ALTOONA. Pa., Sept. fl -President Patrick Gllday. of District t, L'nited Mine Worker?, is authority for the statement that a strike of 15.000 miners employed oy the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Company, the newly-formed soft coal combination in the central Pennsylvania field, is threatened.

CANADA'S "SOO" IS GOOD .OT A DISORDERLY TOWX, DESPITE ITS Ml SPORT VXE. Denial of Sensational Reports Growing; Ont of the Consolidated Company's Tronblea. NEW YORK, Sept. 2T.-The following dispatch was received to-day by the Associated Press from W. Coyne, assistant to the president of the Consolidated Lake Superior Company, and W. H. Plummer, mayor of Sault Ste. Marie. Ont.; "Insurance companies are threatening to cancel, in some cases all. in others half, of their policies on the works of the Consolidated Like Superior Company and the business houses and private dwellings of the citizens, because of reports in newspapers of disorder, violence, etc.. occurring in Sault Ste. Marie. Ont. This is to inform all the newspapers that there is not. nor has there been, a more orderly town in Canada or the Cnited States than the Soo for the past thirty days. There has been no disorder, no trouble or lawlessness of any description, nor is there likely to be. Statements t the contrary are unjust to the authorities and citizens of the Soo and an insult to the (quiet, lawabiding Canadian citliens and small percentage of foreigners who fo to make up the complement of men ; employed by the company in its woods. mines and works, l here are no cases of destitution. The company and the town are feeding the ex-employea who cannot be paid for the day or two at most that elapses after they arrive at the Soo beore they leave for othr parts to take employment with other interests. ' The town Is full of employment agents, offering free transportation and good wages to all the men and they are moving away in large numbers promptly after their nrrtval. entirely satisfied to leave the matter of their back pay to their friends or attorneys. The company la Riving them all good and sufficient evidence of Its lndebtedni to them and th are either leaving their claims with friends for collection or ' taking them with them, trust ins the utux

future to see them paid in full. The attorney general of Canada has been asked to take cognlxance of the situation, and to prepare to take action against any newspaper that has, or does, publish untruthful information regarding the situation at the Soo. and if insurance policies are canceled by reason of exaggerated reports and tire losses occur, an attempt will be made to collect the amount of loss from the newspaper at fault.

COAL IS TO GO HIGHER SICE WILL BE ADVANCED NOT LESS THAN M CENTS ON OCT. 1. Operator Are Bitter Against tlie Kailways and Donbt the Excuse that lotlve Power Is 'ot Available. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TKRRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. -7. The price of coal at Indiana mines will be advanced not less than 25 cents Oct. L The operators of the southern Indiana field say they are offered that much advance now by customers who cannot be supplied because the railroads are unable to take the coal brought to Terere Haute by the Southern Indiana :tnd the Evansville & Terre Haute. The Southern Indiana has coal filling side tracks from here to Linton, which the Vandalia and Big Four have not been able to take. The embargo was lifted for to-day and some of the coal was moved forward. The operators complain bitterly of the roads, which explain that a lack of motive power is the cause for the blockade. The operators call attention to the fact that they have enough engines to run excursion trains in all directions on Sundays, while their regular patrons, the operators, shut down their mines because of lack of transportation facilities. i station Opeued at Emporia.

Spevial to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Sept. :'7.-Sludenis injured in the Purdue "tank scrap" Friday night are all able to be out again, with the exception of John Stephenson, of Chicago, who is still at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, and two other freshmen who are suffering from sprained ankles. Stephenson is still in a serious condition, although the doctors believe he will recover. Stephenson is a special student in telephones, and has supported himself while in college by working after school hours for the Dafayette Telephone Company. It is expected that President Stone on Wednesday will make some remarks concerning the sophomore-freshmen struggle and "urge all students to assist in putting an end to the dangerous contests which take place simply for tradition's sake. The college authorities have never forbidden the "tank scrap," but they have soughf to put an end to it many times. Some of the upper classmen have proposed that hereafter the freshies and sophs, instead of battling in the night on a rough field. Settle their rivalry by engaging in an organized rush, the plan being for a certain number of muscular sophomores to meet the equal number of freshmen and decide the supremacy on the college, campus. Newspapers in the city are unanimous in condemning the "tank scrap," and it is understood that several of the women's church societies and the Ministers' Association will send petitions to President Stone, asking him to forbid further contents like that of Friday night. There will be no further rushes at Purdue until spring, when the sophomores will attempt to hold the annual class banquet. ! which last year caused the serious riot at Columbian Hall. MOtRX FOR MR.

NEGRO GIRLS ADMITTED

The Winamac School Board members have been forced. to reconsider their decision barring the two negro girls from the high school at this place. The members were "between the devil and the deep sea" on account of the unanimous criticism of all prominent citizens of this place. Judge William Spangler s ire was aroused at the closing of the doors of the public schools against the Biggs sisters and he sent word to the father of the colored girls to see him and he would put the girls in school without a cent's cost. Judge Spangler made his promise good when he said: "You may take the girls in on their transfers or you may accept thtm as residents of Winamac, but unless you take them on Monday I will mandate you through the courts." The board consented to admit the colored girls to the Winamac High School. A former motion denying Purdy and Coke B'.ggs school privileges was made by Frank Long and second by Rufus Magee and it is said John Still, president of the School Board, knew nothing of the plan until the matter came before the board.

At present he holds the position of superintendent of the colored schools at Columbus, Ind. J. J. Gorrel. editor of the Pulaski County Democrat, says: "An elastic affidavit lets the pious fraud's proteges into school.

The hour of the burial was kept secret. Not even a member of the family was permitted to view the remains. Silently and alone the hearse wended its way from the Gifford home to the cemetery. "Why should any person want to see my dead body?" said the doctor in giving directions concerning the funeral. "They cannot see me. It is not I they see.

FRENCH INVADE ENGLAND TWO tOlXTS TRAVEL FROM PARIS TO HI LL IX A BALLOOV First Time the Feat Has Been PerformedJourney la Mnde Ig Less Than Kignteen Honra. LONDON, Sept. 27 Count De La Vaulx and Count D Outremont descended to-day in a balloon near Hull, Yorkshire, having journeyed from Paris in 174. hours. This is the first time that a balloon has successfully traveled from France to England. Count De La Vaulx is one of the bestknown French aeronauts, and he has made several very interesting aerial voyages. In August, 1902, he made the record balloon trip for that eyar, having ascended from 8t. Cloud, near Paris, and landed at Opoes. Hease, a distance of over 419 miles, which he covered in nineteen hours. In UO! and again in 1902, accompanied by French warships, he made endeavors to cross the Mediterranean from near Marseilles to Algeria in balloons to which was attached a floating apparatus intended to aid the ballooi.ists in keeping their course, with a view to demonstrating the possible utility of balloons In time of war. Both these efforts were unsuccessful, the balloons being driven back to the north coast f the Mediterranean. Last January Count De La Vaulx sent a trial balloon from Gabes. in Tunis, across the Desert of Saha.a with a view to ascertaining the feasibility of an aerial trip across the desert. THREATS OF DYNAMITERS ATTEMPT TO "BLEED" THE SOUTHER PACIFIC RAILWAY. Fifty Thousand Dollars Demanded by Persona Who Tried to Blow I n Bridges and Tracks. HELENA, Mont., Sept. .7 -It has developed that the recent attempts to dynamite bridges and tracks on the ltne of the Northern Pacific between Livingston and Missoula, was in furtherance of a plot to force the railway company to pay fSO.QOU for immunity frhm the outrages. In August last the company received u letter demanding 125,000, in which it was threatened that if the terms proposed were not agreed to dynamite would be used on the line. No attention was paid to the demand, and shortly afterward the railroad bridge at Livingston was partly wrecked by dynamite. A few nights later another stick of dynamite was exploded near Roseman under a passenger train. Other letters followed, and the dynamiters proposed that the company pay SSO.OOu. and If it acceded to the demand it was to carry a white flag on engines hauling trains and on Sept. 22 was to run a light engine from Butte to Missoula and at a point on the road it was to stop on signal and an agent of the company was to pay over the money. The company, hoping to catch the men. put out the white flags and on the night agreed upon ran the light engin. Behind it followed another engine nullh.g two cars. One was filled with armed sheriffs and deputies and the other contained horses and bloodhounds. The run waa made from Butte to Missoula, but there was no signal, and it was thought the men had been scared off. 8hortlv after the letters began to arrive again from the dynamiters, making the same demand and telling the railroad if it agreed to the terms to put the flag on the engines. This the railroad company has not done, and in the past two weeks there have been four attempts to damage the line by the use of dynamite. ALLEGED INCENDIARISM.
