DasvKit. Oct. 16.—The twenty-sixth
annual convention of locomotive eagis
ueers was called to order at Tal»or grand
opera house at 2 o'clock this afternoon
by Secretary U. W. Hall, of the local
committee of arrangements, The house
was most handsomely decorated with
flowers and emblems of tbe brotherhood,
the most beautiful of which was an elegant
design in roses, pinks and smilax, bord-
ered with forget me nots, representing an
engine, the tender of which was placed
in front of the speakers desk. On the
entrance of Chief Arthur while the secre-
tary was addressing a large audience he
was greeted with prolonged applause.
The exercises were opened by prayer by
Geo. R. Dority, grand chaplain, of
Charleston. Massachusetts. At the con-
clusion of his supplication "Sandy"'
McGuire, of Minneapolis delivered an
original poem which was received with
applause lasting several minutes. This
was followed by addresses from Mayor
Londoner, of Denver, 8. W. Reynolds, of
Iowa, J. K. Choate, superinten-
dent of the Union Pacific,
system in Colorado; Charles F. Meek,
general manager of the Denver, Texas &
Ft. Worth, of Denver; Hon. John Scott,
Rev. Myron Reed and H. B. Chamber*,
lain, president of the Denver Chamber of
Commerce.
At the conclusion of these addresses
Chief Arthur was introduced amid great
enthusiasm and spoke substantially as
follows: : ,
After welcoming the delegates and
assuring them of his belief that satisfao
tory results would come from the present
convention and with great pleasure he
had watched the growth of the order since
its organization and tbe results it had
attained, Chief Arthur said:
"The present to me represents a turns
ing point in the history of the order, for
it has become apparent that a feeling
essentially radical has crept in and taken
possession of a few of our members.
This is dangerous and must be sups
pressed; for owing to this, statements,
seemingly contradictory, have crept out
and became public which cculd never
have happened had there been a sense of
thought and an honesty of purpose. If a
man's ability extends beyond that re-
quired by the brotherhood then it be-
comes his duty to dolf the begrimed ha
biliments of ttie mechanic and assume
that position for which he is particularly
gifted. To nurse one's dissatisfaction
and scatter its seeds broadcast to take
root in the imaginations of other men is
sinful and belittling. He admonished
them to keep their personality intact and
not allow false gods to induce them to
subscribe to laws which as soon as passed
will make tbem cognizant of the necessi-
ty for their repeal.
He reiterated with emphasis a former
statement that the organization was laws
abiding, and said:
"Today 1 clearly define our position
toward railroad corporations when I say
that only as a last resort do we sanction
a strike,"
In speaking of the growth of the order
he said the membership was over 26,000
and during the year just ended paid out
to the widows and orphans of disabled
members 9306,000, making a total since
the organization of $2,806,169. He
thought it impossible to over estimate the
blessings and benefits derived from the
order and he advised every man within
the hearing of bis voice to endeavor at
whatever sacrifice to save a little of
his earniegs every year if no more than
125.
"The possession of property brings
respect and always adds to the com-
fort and power of the workingmen
besides gaining the esteem of all good
citizens.
After thanking the citizens of Denver,
the railway companies and others for
their kindness and expressing his appre-
ciation os the work of the officers and
members of the Ladies Auxilliary socie-
ties, concluded as follows:
"In accordance with instructions res
ceived at the last convention I have pre«
pared a special message containing such
recommendations as in my judgment
tend to promote the welfare of the Broth-
erhood, which will be submitted at the
proper time. We have come this time to
hold the 26th anuual convention, to re*
view tbe past of the order and consider
the future. Profiting by the mistakes
and faiiurec of the past and aided by the
leyalty and integrity of the members it
shall go on in the good work of amelior-
ating the condition and protecting all
who come within its folds. In all discus-
sions and differences which may arise
among us I trust we shall always hold
to our right of private judgment; that
while we give frank expression of our
thoughts we shall carefully guard against
the spirit of dogmatism which would call
upon others to square their thoughts and
opinions with our own.
No reference was made in the address
to either the question of federation or the
late Burlington strike, to the apparent
itntment of a number of dele*

conference lately held in this city by
Mormon residents, it was reported that
the aggregate number of Mormons in
Norway is 740, one hundred and twenty
of whom belong to their clergy. But of
the latter twelve are leaders residing in

sixty-six, including children emigrated
to Utah. Last year seventy emigrated,
but Mormons emigrating this year will
become more numerous as a large emis
gration takes place next month. Passage
' money for Norwegians already settled in
Utah in most cases is powerful in induce-
ment for their relatives here to follow
them toAmerica. In this country the Mor-
