There will be no arbitration of the strike of the telegraphers against the Great Northern Railroad. General Superintendent Sladea said: "Ninety per cent of our men have re turned to work, and we certainly will not arbitrate with the other 10 per cent." Following the receipt of the letter urg ing arbitration, which was dictated by Governor Johnson last night, C B. Bunn, general counsel for the Northern Pacific Railroad, had a lengthy conference with the Minnesota executive. Beyond the fact that the conference had to do with the strike situation, nothing was given out by the Executive Department. The Governor received a letter from President Perham expressing his willing ness to arbitrate. Mr. Perham writes: I am aware of the troubles being caused by the telegraphers' strike and I dcaSre to bring them to an end as speedily as powlble. In behalf of the railroad telegraphers I In dorse your suggestion In regard to submitting h matter to arbitration and accent the ten der of the executive department to bring- about a settlement of the difficulty.

CHICAGO Teamsters' Convention Thrown Into Confusion by Urgent Pleas. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10. An unex pected demonstration occurred today dur ing the convention of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. It was" caused by a telegram from the department-store drivers of Chicago, asking for financial assistance. The telegram, signed by E. J, Ryan, president of that branch of tho brotherhood, read as follows: "Two hundred men out and no Sunday dinner in sight." The delegates immediately voted to send $2000 for the relief of the strikers. At once delegates representing various Chicago locals demanded assistance. There were several heated arguments and one delegate accused the executive com mittee of refusing to help the strikers. In their eagerness to be heard the dele gates resorted to personalities, and Presi dent Shea with difficulty restored order. It was finally voted to sond 56500 addi tional Xo Chicago, the money to be dis tributed among the truckdrlvers, the coal-wagon-drivers, . the lumberwagon-drlverB and the pianowagon-drlvers.

The unique spectacle of 40,000 women, the entire feminine population of a large city, uniting In doing honor to one man, a private citizen, was presented In Day ton. On Patterson day, the women of the city joined with the rest of the popula tion In welcoming J. H. Patterson back to his home city after a year's trip around the world. After much discussion. It was decided to present the guest of honor of Patterson day with a beautifully wrought, hand worked memorial, showing what he had done to deserve the gratitude and esteem of the women; and In order that this me morial might fittingly express the feeling of the women for Mr. Patterson, it was decided that It should be not only written but engrossed upon parchment, bound and covered by the skillful hands of Dayton's women. About 12 years ago five women left Mr. Patterson's employ for no apparent rea son except that they could secure as good or better employment olescwhere. At the same time a larsrc consignment of the product of Mr. Patterson's factory was returned from England as defective. These two facts set Mr. Patterson to thinking. Ho flsured that there was a connection between tho leaving of his em ployes and the character of the output of the plant, and after much thought he con cluded that the only way to avoid a repe tition of such occurrence in the future was to make the work so attractive that so one -would want to leave his factory, and that every one would be so interested In his or her work that defective product would be an impossibility. How well he has succeeded is shown by the fact that It is now said that no woman employed In tho Dayton factory ever leaves except to be married. First of all, in the effort to provide the women with the hot lunch, gas stoves were placed In all the women departments where the girls could heat coffee and make othor warm dishes. Then an at tic was established. Next a comfortable dining hall was fitted out In one of the main factory buildings, where each day 500 girls were served a wholesome and attractive meal each day for the nominal cost of 25 cents a week. This dining hall had been used until within the last weok. when a now building Just erected was set aside for the use of 1500 men and women employes as a. dining hall. From providing for the gastronomic wel fare of tho women it was only a step to care ror their health In other directions. It .was found that the ordinary benches upon which women sat while at work were conducive to stooped shouldors, cramped lungs and general fatigue. In their place comfortable high-backed chairs, with foot rests, were put In place in the bindery and other departments where the women work. To provide further for the physical com fort of tho women, rest rooms have been Installed In connection with all the de partments where girls are employed. These rooms are furnished with cots, easy chairs, bath, lavatory and a medi cine chest. Any girl who becomes 111 or Indisposed while at work has the priv ilege of retiring to these rooms. Two nurses make daily rounds of the rest juuma anu me women s aepartmenis, car ing for any of the girls who may desire their services. NO PUBLIC FUNERAL Fever Compels Private Burial of Archbishop.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. Before leav ing for his vacation. Postmaster-General Cortelyou directed the Issuance of a new form of money order, which, it Is be lieved, will be proof against alteration at tho hands of forgers. The department has been greatly annoyed by the opera, tlons of persons who purchase money or ders for small amounts and raise them, passing them on merchants after ofllce hours. Although the direct loss falls on those who accept the orders, the depart ment refusing to cash them except as originally drawn, there has been a heavy indirect expense involved in the pursuit, arrest and conviction of the offendors. The form adopted will be Issued as soon as the new plates can be prepared and other necessary preliminaries in the way of arrangements can be made.

THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD Jerome B. Osier, Pioneer of Lakes. CHICAGO, Aug. 10, Captain Jerome B. Osier, believed to be the oldest resident of Illinois, died yesterday, aged 105 years. He was born in Erie. Pa. Following his father as a sailor on the Great Lakes, Mr. Osier had become a master of a small schooner before he made-his first voyage to Chicago. The ship was welcomed as the largest craft that the new port had seen, and made a sensation. Seeing great possibilities in the trading post, Mr. Osier decided to make It his headquarters. In 1S61 he enlisted In the Navy and was assigned to the Mississippi River service. Under Admiral Porter, on whose ship he was an ensign, he took part In the river battles between New Orleans and Vicks burg. After the war he became a life in surance agent; and was engaged in active business until one year ago. W. R. Storrs, Railroad Man. SCRANTON. Pa..

There were 25 new casse of typhoid fever reported to tne neaiui oincers ioaay. me greatest number for any one day during the pres- :ai ouiDreatt ol ijpnoia xever in inis City.. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 10. In order that no unnecessary risks might be taken, it was announced today both by Surgeon White and by Father Scottl. in charge of the arrangements, that the funeral of the late Archbishop Chapelle on Saturday at 9 o'clock in the morning will be private. Dr. White said it was a fact accepted by the scientists that yellow fever could not be transmitted by a corpse, but It Is con sidered that there would be some element of danger In attracting to tho cathedral an Immense assemblage of people from all sections of the city. The cathedral is located within the originally infected dis trict, within a stone's throw of the French Market, and there has been fever on all sides of it- Today a solemn requiem mass was said In honor of the dead archbishop. The services lasted for two hours, with a larce attendance of people residing on the lower side of Canal street. Thirty priests participated, and the church was profusely decorated In white, black and purple. The body rested on a bier In the main aisle, and it was found that tho remains were sufficiently preserved to per mlt the removal of the metallic covering. Many viewed the remains through the glass. After the services ended and the congregation was dismissed, further vis- Its to the church were discouraged. The arrangements for the funeral were changed again tonight In view of the desire of the Marine Hospital Serv ice to avert the gathering of a large crowd In the Infected district, in th vory center of which the cathedral stands. The high mass will be sung tomorrow morning, as was done today, and the remains will be interred in tho crypt of the cathedral. In endeavoring to trace the infec tion of the archbishop. It was learned today that his gardener had been 111 about ' two weeks ago with fever. As the man lived on the premises, it is easy to account for the Infection. Tho papers print today the address which Mgr. Chapelle had prepared for the clergy and people or the diocese on the yellow fever situation. It was completed ch the day the archWphop was stricken After the death of Monslgnor Chapelle yesterday the magnificent residence which he occupied was completely fumigated. and will henceforth be under observation until the danger of infection from It passes. During the day Cardinal Gibbons tele graphed his condolence. Many messages came from all parts of the United States and from all parts of the world. Fever Grows Less Malignant. With the death rate remaining lower than in previous visitations of the fever, the feeling here, both among the health authorities and the laity, continues hope ful. Tho fevor has been prevalent long enough to have assumed a quite virulent type, but instead It is apparently less ma lignant than when it first appeared. Many of the cases which are now being re ported, except among the Italians, are mild in character and readily respond to treatment. Dr. White aid today that, while th work of thorough organization of his forces is rapidly crystallizing, he will not be able to make an announcement of the details ot the campaign until Sunday. One of the details of the plan will. It is understood, be an Inspection not only of every house, but of every room In the city. Strike of Sanitary Workers. One of the curious Incidents .of the day was an incipient strike of employes of the Citizens' Sanitary Department. It occurred In the Thirteenth Ward. Here tofore thore have been as many men ap plying for Jobs as could be taken care of. They were glad to work for 51-50 a day. The Thirteenth Ward force, how ever, believed It saw an opportunity to obtain a raise, and struck for 52. The citizens' committee refused to pay more, and a new force was engaged. The City Council at Its meeting today authorized the Mayor to borrow 50.000 to assist In meeting the present emer gency. Ten thousand dollars Is to be used In carrying on the street-cleaning work in which the city Is engaged, and the other $50,000 Is to go to the fund asked by the Government. Though not quite $250,000 has been raised, all the money Is available that can bo used by Dr. White and his force for six weeks. Fruit Imports Stopped. Owing to the difficulties It has met with at Mobile, after being forced to divert Its ships from New Orleans, the United Fruit Company, It Is learned, has decided temporarily, to discontinue Its Colon business. Two more steamers aro now completing cargoes there and will bring them to New Orleans. It is understood that quarantine regu lations generally will be relaxed as soon as conditions in New Orleans show a bet terment, but the reports of the past threo days do not tend to increase the hope that the restrictions will be modified for some time. There are 27 cases at Patterson, La., but nearly all of them have been pre viously announced. Bon Ami. La., re ports two cases in a near-by lumber camp. Xew Centers of Infection. NEW ORLEANS. Aujt. 10. The situa tion does not look so good In the face of such a steady augmentation of the num ber of new cases and number of subfod. uey seem to be popping up all over the town, and the discouraging feature of to day's report is that only 59 of the 63 names arc those of Italians. Quito a number of new cases appear to be second ary infection. A.n "exceedingly ugly center of Infection was unearthed la St. Charles Parish today by Dr. Corput, of the Marine Hospital Service. Two days ago he unearthed six cases on the Diamond plantation, and today he found two more cas6s on that place and 11 cases on the Reserve planta tion, 11 miles farther north, and one case on the Sarpy plantation. It Is believed that more than 30 Italians have left this group during the last week, but there Is no trace of them, nor will there be unless Infection should develop among them at their places of refuge. Two of the cases in the Reserve plantation died while Dr. Corput was there. Five new cases have developed In Pat terson, in St. Mary's Parish, making 30 cases In all there. While the Infection was taken there by Italians from the infected district In New Orleans, the disease has spread among the residents, and several women and children are Infected.

AUSTIN, Tex.. Aug. 10. State Health Officer Tabor has submitted a report to Governor Lanham concerning the yellow fever situation in the South, in which he says: "Yellow ftver exists now In Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama. Florida and the Re public of Mexico. Texas Is sandwiched between the Infected districts, with very llttle hope of escaping invasion by the scourge with the long Summer before us. We are guarded as closely as possible, but it is very hard to maintain a successful quarantine. I would mt -certainly Insist that there beno mobilization of citizens or soldiers at this time, as any excite ment might cause a general stampede and a general quarantine- that would tie up the entire railroad service of the state." The state health officer has also called upon the Governor to hold the entire state Ranger force In reserve subject to his orders, as he may need them at any time to control the quarantine situation.
