New York, June 10.—All the mystery which has been thrown around the personnel of the "syndicate" that bought the majority stock of .Tames II. Ityde in the Equitable Life Assurance society was cleared away last night lDy Thomas P. Ryan. In a statement to the three trustees, Grovcr Cleveland, .Morgan J.

Berry, of Springfield, 111., president of District No. 12, had an Important conference In the Hotel Schadt this morning over a threatened trouble in the state of Illinois, between the mine workers' organization and the coal operators' association, concerning a law passed at the last session of the legislature, requiring the operators to employ and pay the shot firers, beginning July 1. Pleasant weather conditions continue over the Pacific coast region. Influenced by the area of high barometer pressure. Scranton's maximum temperature of 90 degrees on yesterday, was one of the highest reported. Pittsburg, Pa., and St. Louis, Mo., record the same maximum. Regarding divorce Secretary Taft said: "Last year there wore 012 divorces out of every 10,0(K) marriages. If this continues to grow, what will become of that which is today the foundation of our civilization and our state, the home and the family? Ought there not be some radical measures by which to prevent the looseness with which the marriage bond is tied ami tlie ease with which it may be dissolved'/Pour of the finest cars will be placed in service when the road opens and flie number will be increased when necessary. It is proposed to operate 011 a 40-mlnute schedule. During the hearing it was shown that Insurance Commissioner Israel W. Durham is a partner in the McNlchol firm of city contractors. It was also shown that while James I\ McNlchol, who is now a state senator and one of the local leaders, was in city councils the McNlchol firm consisted of Durlinni, Mrs. James P. McNichol, John M. Mack and Daniel J. McNlchol, a brother of James P. McNichol. It was also shown that after James P. McNichol left councils his wife withdrew from the firm and that her place was taken by himself. It is warmer through the Cotton Belt, temperatures in Texas being especially high. SELECT COUNCIL'S 8 MINUTE SESSION BAD PAY DAY FIGHT DISTURBED DUPONT The operators contend that the organization has violated an agreement entered Into at Indianapolis convention that the men were to pay the shot flrers. The men admit an agreement was adopted by both parties, but In the agreement were certain provisions one of which stated that the shot flrers would be employed in compliance with the state laws of Illinois. The new law had not been passed then". "In order that every possible ImsIh for mystery uiay be eliminated I am anxious that you should b6 fully apprised of every circumstance regarding my purchase of a majority (502 shares) of the capital stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society. I am therefore writing tills letter to place before you the only facts regarding the transaction which have not been made public.incut Crowd of Foreigners Kngageil in a DROWNED MAN'S \ REMAINS FOUND Very Quiet Meeting Held Last Even- Merit* Qiuirifti—fourteen War- ing, Bare Quorum Hearing Two rants Have Keen Issued "Now, if It were given to congress to pass uniform laws ol' marriage and divorce we could be certain, iirst, that the majority in the congress of the Union would see to it that conservative restrictions upon the law of divorce would be enacted and that for 110 light reason should there be a separation of those joined together in matrimony under the law, and, second, we could be certain that, administered as the divorce law would be, by judges of the federal courts, subject, as they .'ill would be, to the general supervision of the supreme court of the United States, there would be a uniform administration of the law in the courts." Items of CRuslness. A Heree pay day fight took place I aft night in Dupont, outside of Albert Lukosky's saloon. A large crowd of foreigners, who were in an ugly mood, became enraged in a brawl. Which ended In a free-for-all fight, in whirl) revolvers and stones were freely Used, The front of Lukosky's saloon was demolished, all the windows being smashed. Several buildings close by were damaged. A foreigner in a neighboring house, who took no part In the tight, was struck by a stone and his head was severely "lacerated. Another foreigner who was in the midst of the brawl Is in a serious condition from cuts and bruises. SW-veral shots were fired but fortunately no one was struek by the bullets. The section of the town In which the trouble occurred was terrified while the fight lasted. He fore the trouble came to an end at least a dozen men were injured. Fourteen warrants were issued this morning by 'Squire Keating for the arrest of the participants in the fight. The charge in each case was felonious wounding. Two of the men have been rounded up and are in jail and several constables are after the others. It is likely that several hearings will be held tliis evening by the 'Squire. Discovered in Sliallmv Water Opposite Last evening's regular meerlnn of select council was a record breaker for the small amount of business transacted and the brief period of the session. Chairman Kehoe presided and the following other members were present: Messrs. Gavin, Connell, Murphy, Melster and McAndrew. Tennaitt-'n Hotel, at Port Itlancli- This Afternoon. tied. Secret Agreement. The operators will meet next Tuesday at Springfield, after which it is expected they will make known their position. It is understood that If they have to pay for the shot flrers they will demand of the men a reduction In the price of mining, which the organization will not consider. A lockout is also spoken of. The body of a man was seen this afternoon at H:30 in the Susquehanna river, nearly opposite Temm ill's hotel in Port Hlanohard. The body was r.O feet from shore and was ilrst seen by a driver. It seems to be stationary on a projection of the bed of the river. The body is naked and is, in all probability, the remains of the mail who was drowned yesterday afternoon. Alderman Barrett and Undertaker Donnelly left for Port Blanchard at 4 o'clock. Other evidence of a sensational character wits to the effect that a secret agreement existed between Councilman ('liven and Ills father, trading its James Caven & Son, and another linn, in which they agreed that no contract shall he entered Into b.v either of the parties with the McNIchol Arm or any other firm doing work on the city's nitration system without the written consent of both parties. The Sole Owner. "First.—I am the sole owner of the 502 shares of the stock of the Equitable society, which I purchased from Mr. Hyde, and 110 other person or interest has contributed or has the right to contribute a single dollar toward the purciiase of the stock. The policy holders with whom 1 conferred in making the purchase have had 110 connection with the management of the Equitable society, and their connection with the transaction was entirely advisory. I am under no obligation to any living man with respect to my action as the owner of this stock. The light and water commlti.ee reported with a favorable recommendation an ordinance to provide for a contract to light the city with electric light and to provide money to defray the expense of the same. There are about CO,000 men in the union In the state of Illinois, all of whom wouid be affected In the event of trouble. Mr. Murphy Introduced a resolution directing the city clerk to communicate with the mayor for this purpost of ascertaining If the traction company stands one-half the expense of flushing Main street and. If It does not, to Instruct the mayor to charge one-half the expense of flushing to the company. The resolution was adopted. Chinese Exclusion Law. DEATHS OF CHILDREN. Touching the application of the Chinese exclusion law the secretary asked: "Is it just that for the purpose of excluding or preventing perhaps a hundred Chinese coolies from slipping Into this country against the law we should subject an equal number of Chinese merchant# and students of high character to an examination of such an Inquisitorial, humiliating, insulting and physically uncomfortable character as to discourage altogether the coming of merchants and students? As a result of what developed at the hearing Mayor Weaver later accepted the resignation of John W. Hill, chief engineer of the bureau of till ration, and also that of his son, Henry W. 11111, who was assistant to his father. The resignations were sent to the mayor, to take effect June 30, but they were accepted to take effect immediately. Chief Hill was the highest salaried olllelal in the city, his compensation being !? 17,(Hill a year. The police say not a single perhas called at the city hall to attempt to identify the clothing, and the police have not been Informed of any person missing. Chief I,oft us is of the opinion that the drowned man was a foritfgner, since no one has been reported missing. The clothing and the money founil in the pockets are still at police headquarters.

CLERKS HAD VISITOR Startling Nature. ({rover Cleveland and his associates after giving out Mr. Ryan's letter issued an appeal to the policy holders asking for their co-operation In carrying out the plans for the rehabilitation of the society and restoring it to its former place in the estimation of the public. This appeal is as follows: Chicago, June 1(1.—The greatest labor scandal Chicago has ever known, according to State Attorney Ilealy, is to follow the disclosures made before a grand jury by John C. Driseoll, formerly secretary of the Associated Ruildlug Trades council and of the .Coal Team Owners' association. Driseoll revealed the history of the dealings between employers and union labor leaders, particularly that branch of union labor represented by the Chicago Teamsters' union.

After a half hour of tiring, during which tiie ships were advancing, they turned in a broad circle and proceeded back to their starting point aud were soon out of view. Dickins Attacks Fort Monroe. State Attorney Healy said: "More serious offenses * have been committed than bribery and conspiracy, and the evidence presented to the jury has been of aii extremely startling character. It Is important and will lead to surprising results. The names mentioned by the witnesses are those of prominent men on both sides. If I thought there would be no results from this Investigation I would cull a halt immediately. 1 believe the present line of inquiry will occupy the attention of the jury for the rest of the week and a portion of next week, but If necessary all the docket cases will be sidetracked because of the great importance I attach to the results of the present inquiry."
