TO D1S6U8S STRIKE
Bay City Street-Car Company
Makes Concession.
AGREES TO CONFERENCE TODAY
General Feeling That the Trenhle
WU1 Be Adjusted Tie-Up Contin
ues Complete Public Not
Greatly Inconvenienced
The carmen on strlko at San Fran
cisco we quletlr awMttng the out
come of th troubU. and there have
been no violent demonstrations what
ever. A man In close touch with the
owners of the Sap Freneleco street
railway now tied up by a strike etatw
that they have no Idea of Importing
men to take the qlace of the hands
now out. The different labor unions
of the city are officially tenoerins their
sympathy to the striking carmen.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22. The exe
cutive -committer of the United Railroads
tonight agreed to meet a conference com
mittee from their employes for the -purpose
of discussing the street railway
strike. The hour set for the conference
was 10 A. M. tomorrow. This- is the
first concession made by the company
since the strike began, and there is a
general feeling that It will result In the
adjustment of the trouble.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to run
electric cars on the Ellis-street line. Three
cars were started out during the day, but
the conductors were soon persuaded to
enroll themselves with the strikers. The
mail cars made their usual trips. Mayor
Schmltz this afternoon sent a letter to
the United Railroads, requesting that cor
poration to arrange for an immediate con
ference with the striking employes, and
tendering his personal services. In con
cluding his letter, the Major said:
"The people of the city are disposed to
be friendly to you, and there Is certainly
no disposition on the part of our public
officials to interfere with you in any
manner, but If this deplorable situation
is permitted to continue through an obsti
nate refusal on your part to confer, you
alone will be responsible for the results."
In an Interview with press representa
tives, the Mayor said:
As "Viewed by Mayor Scnmtts."
"I find that there has been little, if any,
change in the strike condition since yes
terday. Everything is still peaceful and
the union men, according to my way of
thinking, have the better of the argu
ment up to this time. The Market-Street
Railway people have repeatedly made ap
plication to the Chief of Police for of
ficers, to be placed upon the cars, but
the chief, upon my orders, has persist
ently refused to place officers at the dis
posal of the company, save for the legiti
mate purpose of keeping the peace. I
have no desire to Interfere with the com
pany In the peaceful operation of its lines,
and if It can run its cars. I will do all In
my power to see that It has proper treat
ment. But there Is no .danger of any at
tempt at violence on the part of the men
on strike. I find that, as a bodyT they are
intelligent, honest gentlemen. There are
many college graduates among them."
Railway Considering: Settlement.
A gentleman In close touch with the
managers of the United Railroads said:
"Within the next three days the street
cars of the United Railroads will be run
ning as usual. There will be no trouble
between the company and the men who
are now out on strike, nor will the com
pany Import men from other cities; such
a course has never been suggested:"
An analysis of the statement can only
lead to the conclusion that proceedings
for a settlement between the company
and the men are being seriously consid
ered by the railway officials.
The California Street Railway Company
and the Presidio & Ferries Company,
vhose lines on California, Hyde and
XTnion streets pre not affected by the
strike, have notified the Carmen's Union
that they will give their employes the
same, if not better, terms than those
which may be granted by the United
Company. The different labor unions of
the city are officially tendering their sym
pathy to the striking carmen. The retail
trade is beginning to feel the effects of
t" e strike quite seriously. Vehicles of all
k'n.s are carrying passengers to different
jvrtlons of the city, and the public Is
rot finding the tie-up as Inconvenient as
was expected. Some business houses, par- J
t cu.arly the agency of a well-known
Eastern wagon and csrrlage-TnakIng con
cern, arc operating free 'busses. The 'bus
srstem Is being Improved upon and sys
tematized, and it is expected that by to
morrow, at the latest, there will be
cough conx-eyanccs In operation to ac
commodate thousands of passengers.
TO RENEW 'VARSITY CAMPAIGN.
AH Orcsonf Will Be Asked to Help
Free Willamette From Debt.
SALEM, April 22. President Coleman, of
Willamette University, will return from
New York May 5, and the campaign for
funds for the university will then be re
newed. After spending two weeks in Sa
lem, President Coleman returned to his
home in Albany. N. Y., about a month
ago, for the purpose of closing his busi
ness affairs there, and bringing his fam
ily to Oregon. Hereafter .his home will be
at Salem. It Is expected that her will ar
rive at The Dalles, in time to occupy the
pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal church
in that city on Sunday, May 4, and that
he will reach Salem the- following day.
The financial campaign commenced with
the inauguration of Dr. Coleman as pres
ident of the Willamette University, and
has for its purpose the raising of about
535,000 to liquidate the debt of the institu
tion. Withf the campaign but fairly start
ed, there has been subscribed nearly $14,
000. This has been pledged by people of
Salem before a complete canvass of the
city has been made. It is readily appar
ent that the further efforts jn Salem and
in other parts of Oregon and Washington
will result In the debt being paid before
another year has rolled around.
The Salem friends of the university have
deemed best to demonstrate their own In
terest In the welfare of the school be
fore Methodists In other parts of the
State are asked to lend their assistance.
When the Methodists of Oregon and
"Washington have shown their intention
to give substantial eupport to the school
controlled by their denomination, friends
of higher education who are not Method
ists will be asked to contribute to the
fund.
The work already done Is a good indi
cation of the loyalty of Salem Method
ists and other Salem citizens, and it may
ho expected that before Summer is far
spent, the campaign f on; the relief of this
pioneer Institution of higher education
will be carried Into every part of the
Northwest.

IDE'S FATE IN HIS HANDS
ROOSEVELT'S PLEASURE IX THE
CASE SETTLES IT.
If He Does Not "Withdraw Nomina
tion, Ide Will Be Confirmed
as Collector.
SPOKANE, April 22. A Spokesman-Review
special from, Washington says:
"The fate of Clarence W. Ide, whose
appointment as Collector of Customs for
Washington State is now pending before
the commerce committee of the Senate,
rests with President Roosevelt Ex-Senator
R. A. Hutchinson's affidavit charging
Mr. Ide with offering him 11000 at the leg
islative session of 1S95 to vote for John
I. Wilson for United States Senator is
still In the hands of the President. If
President Roosevelt decides not to with
draw the appointment of Ide, there is no
question that he will be confirmed, as the
affidavit will not be presented to the Sen
ate. "Meanwhile, the President is finding this
bit of patronage one of the most trouble
some he has yet had to encounter. Sup
porters of Mr. Ide are deluging the Presi
dent with letters from Washington State
politicians and others, testifying to their
NOMINEES FOR REPRESENTATIVE FROM
JACKSON COUNTY".

C. E. STEWART.
MEDFORD, Or., April 21. C. E. Stewart. Republican nominee for Represents.-.
tlve from Jackson County, Is 30 yeats old. The early part of his" life was spent In
Texas, where he was an extensive cattle-owner. Jtlr. Stewart has lived In Jackson
County for 12 years, during which time he haa been an extensive fruitgrower.
William A. Carter,, the other nominee for Representative, served in the last
Legislature, being the youngest member of the House. He is an attorney at Gdld
"Hill, and enjoys a large practice. The Republicans are confident that there are
no more popular men In Jackson County than their nominees for the Legislature.
belief In his integrity. At the same time
letters and telegrams are coming that are
calculated to discredit the reliability of
ex-Senator Hutchinson, while counter tes
timonials are vouching for the veracity
and Integrity of the affidavit. It Is prob
able that the contest will be settled this
week. The commerce committee of the
Senate, which will report on Mr. Ide's
appointment, will meet Thursday, and If
the President has not then withdrawn the
appointment, the friends of Mr. Ide will
press for action and the committee will
probably direct a report In his favor.
"Senator Foster refuses to discuss the
charges against Mr. Ide. He said today
that it was for the people to say whether
Mr. Ide was acceptable ae Collector; that
whatever charges had. been filed were
charges of the people, and if it Is demon
strated that Ide Is their choice, he will
not interpose any personal objection."

application for a wnt of habeas corpus in
the case of Jeff Keyser. the Vancouver

took the ground that a writ of habeas

provided by statute had been served.

300 EMPLOYES ARE OUT
STRIKE AT OREGON CITY WOOLEN
MILLS BECOMES GENERAL.
Little Prospect of an" Early Settle-
ment of Trouble Company'
Side of the Case.
OREGON CITY, April 22. The strike at
the Oregon City Woolen Mills became gen
eral today, and now SCO employes are out,
with little' prospect of an early settlement
of tho trouble. The only concession the
company will make la to give the weavers
the same scale formerly paid. They aak
for an increase of 1 cent per yard on all
piece work. As to the class of weaves
which the weavers allege Is not profitable,
the company offers to change the weave
so that It will be on the same basis as
the other caseimercs. The company will
also meet the weavers on the two-Toom
proposition, leaving It optional with the
weaver. Further than this President Ja
cobs positively declares he will not go.
He says the company cannot afford to
meet the demand of an Increase of 1 cent
per yard, and Secretary Bollack said this
afternoon that as long as the company
must lose money it might as well cease
operations.
The company's slcVe of the case, briefly
summed up, is as follows: The Intention
of tho company was to allow the weav
ers on flannels to operate two looms, on
which they could produce about twice as
much goods as on one loom, or equivalent
to 4 cents for one loom, against which
they have been paid for operating a single
loom 3 cents per yard. In this way the
tompahy wbuld reduce the cost of weav
ing flannels - of a cent per yard, whereas
the weaver would make 1 cents per yard
more than, he was dolns by operating one
loom, making, as "President Jacobs says,
practically an Increase In pay, as they
can run the two looms as easily as one.
Following up the demand of the weavers,
the help In nearly every other department

. jnERE are many sickly women be-
I tween the ages of 45 and 55, but
there are very few invalids over 55
or 60 years of age. The change of
life coming to a woman near her forty
fourth year, either makes her an invalid or
gives her a new lease on life. Those who
meet thi3 change in ill health seldom live
ten years afterward, while a "woman who
lays aside the active duties of womanhood
in health seldom fails to live on in happi
ness, years after she has passed 60. During
the change of life, the menstrual function
gradually disappears. This is truly a crit
ical time.
Mrs. Laura S. "Webb, of Toledo, Ohio,
recognizes the change of life as a danger
ous period and she also lias faith in "Wine
of Cardui . She writes ;
44 As I had always been troubled more or
less at the menstrual period, I dreaded the
change of life which was fast approaching.
While visiting with a friend I noticed that
she was taking your Wine of Cardui, and
she-was so enthusiastic about it that I decided
to trya bottle. I experienced some relief the
first month, so I kept on taking it for three
months and now I menstruate with no pain
and I. shall take it off and on now until I,
have passed the climax. I do not dread It
now, as I am. sure that your Wine of Cardui
will be of great benefit at this time."
