"Will Give In.
NOW IT'S; A. FIGHT TO A FINISH
Business Men of the City Are LosInB
a Million Dollar a Day Ef
'forts to Adjust the'
e Trouble. -'
CHICAGO, July 14. While tho -wholesale
business of this city is almost completely
paralysed, and while Its business men
are standing a loss of $1,000,000 a day. the
striking frelghthandlers and the railroads
are In a deadlock and announce their de
termination to light to a finish over the
question of one-half a cent per hour per
man, or a total of $500 for every 24 hours,
this being divided on one side between 24
railroads and on the other between 10,000
men. .
The situation tonight Is more serious
than at any time since the commencement
of the trouble, and at no time since the
walkout have the points at issue been so
obstinately maintained. Three tiroes to
day the frelghthandlers sent committees
to meet the general managers, and three
times came back without results. The
first call was made without giving warn
ing to the managers, and when the com
mittees arrived, they were unable to find
any of them, for the reason that the man
agers were having a meeting of their
own, and were not at their offices. The
second call produced more effect, as sev
eral of the committees saw the managers,
but nothing definite resulted. The last
commlttoes were sent out by President
Curraii, of tho frelghthandlers; at the de
mand o'f the teamsters, who wanted some
thing attempted toward a settlement.
This time tho committees were started so
late In the afternoon that it was a fore
gone conclusion that they would not find
many of the general managers at their
offices. All the committees reported, as
before, that they had failed of any result.
The committee that went to the Mil
waukee & St. Paul road camo back bear
ing the information that they had been
refused admission, and were informed
that their former employers did not care
to receive them, that they had all the
men necessary in their business, and that
hereafter no deputations- would be re
ceived from employes who had gone on
strike. Tho officials of the road declared
later that they would maintain this posi
tion. After this had been reported at head
quarters of the strikers, President Cur
ran announced that the fight was on to a
finish, and that hereafter when the rail
roads bad any overtures to make, or
wished to do any business with their em
ployes, they would be compelled to trans
act such business through the officers o'f
the Frelghthandlers Union.
Both sides now declare that they have
reached the limit, and that absolutely
nothing will be conceded. The men de
mand 174 cents, and the managers say
that they will not, under any circum
stances, pay more than 17 cents.
otliinpr Doing: at Warehouses.
The railroad warehouses, ordinarily a
hive of industry, were almost as quiet as
on Sunday. At a distance from each
warehouse was a company of pickets
posted to keep freight from entering or
leaving the sheds. Nearer the depots
were guards of police on duty to protect
the men in the warehouses and to quell
any disturbances which might arise.
Gangs of nonunion men brought Into the
city to take the places of the strikers
lounged about the warehouses or In their
cars, with scarcely anything to do.
Commission merchants in South Water
street declared that the usually animated
market Is dead. In times of com
mercial peace the street is one of the
most congested In tho world. Today in
front of many of the stores there was not
a wagon and scarcely a crate, box or bar
rel of produce. Spme had a few berries
brought by boat from Michigan and "Wis
consin, but these were about the only
fresh arrivals. Thirty cars of highly
perishable stuff were reported on the
tracks, while many more cars contain
commodities which will last a few days
longer only. Only two carloads of freight
jrcre cared for promptly. These contained
live poultry. It was said that the Hu
mane Society would not allow them to
perish, and a permit was secured to take
them to South Water street. One whole
sale house had a carload of Georgia
peaches on rail. The teamsters refused
to haul anything from the railroads. The
dealer thereupon shipped the car around
the lake to St Joseph, Mich., where the
consignment was transferred to a boat
and reached here this morning.
A driver in a light wagon, who succeed
ed In delivering two small packages to
the Santa Fe, had a stirring time of It
When it became apparent to the striking
pickets that he was headed for the ware
house, they made a rush for him. A
squad of policemen came to the rescue,
and the driver reached the warehouse In.
safety. "Better come Inside, where you'll
be safe," one of the nonunion freight
handlers advised.
Much fruit and'vegetables, which came
in yesterday, were reshlpped last night,
although it is said, without adequate re
frigeration. Vegetable and fruit peddlers
succeeded in getting partial supplies from
the depots during the day, but it was only
after much trouble with the pickets and
assistance from the police. Tons of half
spoiled stuff was given to poor people,
who waited at nearly all the depots In
crowds, each carrying a basket or bag.
Despite the assertions of the president
of the Knickerbocker Ice Company that
ice was going to the freight houses, pick
ets asserted that not one cake of ice
passed through their lines.
Railroads Side of It.
A man familiar with the employers' side
of the fight said' "The situation among
the railroads is about this: The Western
roads are swearing mad for the most part
and won't budge an inch; the Eastern
people generally want more time to con
sider. I suppose this is because they have
to do considerable conferring with New
York, where most of them have their
headquarters. The railroads claim to
have enough men in their warehouses to
handle business brought to them. They
stand to lose considerable, but It is noth
ing to what Chicago wholesalers -are los
ing." Previous to meeting the committees, the
railroad managers and superintendents
held a meeting among themselves. They
remain of the mind that 17 cents is a
proper compromise between the 16 cents
paid and the 18 centjs asked originally.
This unanimity of opinion amQng the
managers is taken in explanation of the
failure of the conferences which followed.
Of the managers at the meeting, F. M.
Delano, of the Burlington, eald: "Wejlls
cussed the situation at length. We talked
tentatively of tho wage problem. We con
sider that we have performed our full
duty to' the public Our Xrelghthouses are
manned, and we are ready to do business.
If the men want to go back to work,
they can do so. It Is up to the people who
have goods to ship to get them to the
freighthouses. That is the way we look
at the situation." '
The teamsters at all the big stores
showed up .for city delivery, which was an
improvement over Saturday.
Governor Yates, In a telegram today to
F. W. Job, chairman of the State Board
of Arbitration, Instructed" the latter to
tender the impartial services of the board
In settling the strike, saying: "Com
plaints are numerous that perishable
goods are being lost" Chairman Job set
out to visit the teamsters, the freight
handlers' and the railway managers. The
entire board will be In' Chicago tomorrow.
Late in the afternoon a meeting of .the.
majority of the produce commission men
of South Water -street was held, and it
was decided that because the strike was
ruining business, an effort would be made
tomorrow by the commission men to haul
their own freight from tho railway yards.
Fearing a general tumult down town, euch
as followed the moving of meat in the
recent packers' strike, the commission
men called upon Mayor Harrison and
Chief of Police O'Nell, and were assured
that police protection would be given
them.
Rioting; Stage Readied.
The strike reached the rioting stage to
night and it was only after the police had
charged oi the crowd repeatedly and ar
rested'll men that a semblance of order
was restored. Eight policemen who were
sent with two teams from the Western
Electric Company to the St Paul freight
depot at Carroll and Union street were un
able to extricate the drivers from the
pocket Into which they were forced by
angry teamsters. A riot call sent to the
stations was responded to by several wag
onlpads of paTfolmen, and arter a fierce
conflict with the obstructing crowd tho
wagons were rescued, and the drivers,

CHICAGO, July"l5-At 2 o'clock this
morning a conference between the Na
tional Executive Board of the teamsters,
the Teamowners' Association, tho Freight
handlers Union, the Chicago Federation
of Labor and the truck teamsters' execu
tive committee resulted in a new proposi
tion, which will be presented to the rail

officers of the Teamsters' Union Issued a
petition asking the teamsters belonging
to two of the local union to return to
work, in order to prevent the total Ioes
of several hundred cars of fruit that Is
lying on the sidings.
It Is claimed by Mr. Driscoll, of the
Teamsters' Union, that eight of the rail
roads have agreed to the proposition that
will be submitted today. President Cur
ran, of the Frelghthandlers Union, states
that If this Is a fact the strike will be
settled today.

Union to force the brewery engineers
and firemen to Join it by ordering strikes
against them. The firemen and engineers

spective trades, and the matter finally was
referred to the American Federation of

HIBERNIANS TO MEET.
Biennial Convention Will Open nt
Denver Todny.
DENVER, July 14- The work of the
42d biennial convention of the Ancient Or
der of Hlbemlart3 began this morning with
a meeting of the National executive com
mittee and board of directors. These offi
cers will discuss measures to be presented
to the convention, and their recommenda-
tions will be embodied In the annual re
port of President John T. Keating. The
order has a membership of 400.000 ana
about 500 delegates .are expected to attend
the sessions of tho convention, which will
open tomorrow. The National officers of
the order stoutly deny that politics will
be injected Into the deliberations of the
convention. President Keating said:
"We expect that the organization in Ire
land and that in the United States will
be united in the next six or eight months.
The work looking toward this greatly-to-be-deslred
result Is progressing satisfac
torily through the clergy. x As to the
charges that the executive has been in
fluenced by the Clan-Na-Gael or any other
body, I will say that the administration
for the last four years has been as exclu
sive ne any I can remember In my whole
long connection with the order."
President Keating has announced that
be is not a candidate for re-election. Na
tional Vice-President James E. Dolan, or
Syracuse. N. Y., and John A. Ryan, of
Boston, are mentioned as candidates. Buf
falo. Milwaukee, Cincinnati and San Fran
cisco are bidding for the next convention
two years hence.
The National directors decided to advise
tho convention through President Keat
ing's report to refuse all requests of col
lateral societies of Irishmen for aid. The
Gaelic League, which is organized for the
purpose of perpetuating the Irish lan
guage, will ask for money. Fifty thou
sand dollars has already been contributed
Dy wiDcrnians for tins purpose, ana no
moro will be appropriated.
It was announced that the ladles' aux
iliary will ask to be given a separate In
dependent organization, and to be recog
nized as one of the branches of the order.
In view of the fact that many members
insist that such action would set yi bod
precedent, and would entitle the Irish
League, the Clan-Na-Gael. the Gaelic
League and a number of other organiza
tions to be given the same privileges, the
directors agreed that a paragraph advis
ing conservatism shall be Inserted In
President Keatlng's report
Resolutions denouncing the Boer war aa
the most unjust conflict of modern times
and a sacrifice to ambitions of statesmen
wero incorporated into the report The
usual denunciation of England's oppres
sion of Ireland wns adopted, but the c"a
tlonal directors carefully refrained from
doing anything which might be construed
ns a recognition of the contention of tho
United Irish League, the Clan-Na-Gael or
any other Irish society.
The Artclent.Order of Hibernians, the
National directors will declare, through
President Keating, Is not a political so
ciety, but Is Irish and Roman Catholic.
The National directors refused. to take
up the cause of Rev. Father Hennessey,
who has been deposed from the faculty of
the Roman Catholic University at Wash
ington and who has atserted that the
fund furnished by the Hibernians to sup
port a chair for teaching Gaelic at the
university wa3 being Improperly U3ed,

structions to Governor Taft.
WASHINGTON. July 14. It was learned
here today that the reply of Secretary
Root to the dispatch of Governor Taft has
been already cabled to Rome. It Is In the
nature of Instructions as to what rejoin
der shall be made to the Vatican In an
swer to Its first general reply to Governor
Taft These Instructions to Governor Taft
were prepared before Secretary Root left
Washington, but were of such Importance
that submission to the President was
deemed desirable. '
The position of the United States Is un
changed, and tho instructions of Secre
tary Root. Issued before Governor Taft
went to Rome, aro adhered to In every
essential. The important point of those
Instructions was that the friars should
be withdrawn, and upon this question the
Administration remains firm. The rejoin
der is a diplomatic document, and Is
couched In such language that there will
be a continuance of tho negotiations.

first Judge appointed to the bench in Ha
waii after annexation was complete, his
term having begun when Hawaii became
a territory. He was appointed by. Presi
dent McKlnley. Soon after taking the or
flce he became Involved in difficulties with
local attorneys, partly on account of his
severity in courtroom practice, and In
June, 1901, he went to Washington to de
fend himself against charges preferred by
the Hawaiian Bar Association, seeking his
removal. He was sustained by the Attorney-General
and the President, and re

PASSENGERS ARE ROBBED
MASKED MEN HOLD UP A TRAIN

press Cnr.
GUNNISON. Colo., July 14. Masked
men held up the westbound passenger
train on the Denver & Rio Grande narrow-gauge
at Mill Switch, a point two
miles east of Chester, at S:40 o'clock this
morning. The two safes in the express
car were blown open with dynamite, and
the car was almost completely wrecked.
The contents of the safes were taken, but
the amount of money secured Is believed
to have been small. The passengers were
robbed, several thousand dollars being
obtained.
The robbers are believed to have been
riding on the front of the baggage car.
Two of them crawled over the tender at
Mill Switch, which Is on the west slope
of Marshall Pass. The engineer, Perry
Ruland, was compelled to stop the train.
The robbers then compelled the passen
gers to leave the train- The express mes
senger refused to open the car door, when
it was blown open with a charge of dyna
mite. Two explosions of dynamite suf
ficed to open both safes, after which the
robbers made the passengers stand In line
and deliver their valuables. Meantime
mnn- nf tho nnonr.iri inr1 Vilrtr?oti tViaIt-
money and Jewelry In the tall grass and'f
among the rocks. The maH car was not
molested.
The robbery occupied about one hour,
and afterward the train was run back to
Sallda and reports of the occurrence sent
to the officials of the road and to Sheriffs
of the surrounding counties. The train
reached this city this afternoon.
, The hold-ups are believed to be a band
of horse and cattle thieves who have
been plundering the herds of the ranch-J
raen ol me upper xomicni ana -ttuzor
Creeks for many months.
A posse of five deputies left Sargent
soon after the robbery was reported there
and are supposed to be on the trail of
the bandits. Under - Sheriff Snodgrass,
with eight deputies, left this city this
evening, heavily armed and with good
horses. A special train conveyed them to
the scene of the hold-up. Conductor Mike
Duerin believes the robbers went south
toward Saguache.
H. P. Newton, a passenger, says he saw
three of the gang. Whether there were
any more ho could not say. They were
uressed in white duck suits and wore
brown shirts. Newton lost many of his
valuables, along with others. The stories
in regard to the number of robbers vary.
Some say three, some four, and othcra
five. According to the latter, one was sta
tioned at each end of the train, and two
collected the booty. Another was on the
hillside acting as picket After they wero
robbed the passengers were ordered to
get into tht train, and it wont on its
way. The gang of outlaws then made
lor the htlis.
Engineer Ruland was the only one hurt,
although several shots were fired at pas
sengers. A shot also went through the
cab of the engine which had helped the
train up the pass and was following some
distance behind. Engineer Ruland was
asked by one of the robbers to do some
thing which he did not understand. He
asked what was said, and was brutally
felled to the ground by a blow from the
butt of a rifle, where he remained un
conscious for a fov moments. This was
done after the tram and its occupants
had been robbed. Previously Ruland was
commanded to notify Express Messenger
Coffey to come out of his car, which he
did without resistance.
It is not believed the robbers secured
much money from the express car, as this
train seldom carries much treasure.
YOUTHFUL FIREBUGS.
Nevr York Officers Break Up a Dan-
serous Gang.
NEW YORK. July 14. John Prlsanl, a
chul-by-faced boy, 10 years old. has been
arrested on a charge of aron. If the
boy's statements In a confession said to
have been made to the police are to be
believed, the boy Is a member of a dan
gerous gang of youthful firebugs, who
have caused large loss of property and
possibly the death of a woman. For some
time tires of a suspicious origin have
been prevalent In the Leonard and Oak
street precincts, and recently Captain
O'Brien issued orders that a strict watch
be kept for the boy who had been re
peatedly described as seen running away
when these fires were discovered. Finally
a cry of fire was beard coming from 89
Franklin street, and two boys were Geen
rushing from the building. The detectives
captured one of the boys after a long
chase.
At the station tho prisoner Is said to

able to any thnt I am entirely cured.
Words fail to express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more is the best
thljiK I could wish for, and thanks
to Peruna I enjoy thnt now." 3Iin
nic E. McAllister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many peo
ple to Imitate Peruna. A great many so
called catarrh remedies and catarrhal ton
ics are to be found In many drug stores.
These remedies can be procured by tha
druggist much cheaper than Perun3. Pe
runa can only be oEtalned at a, uniform
price, and no druggist can get It a cent
cheaper.
Thus It Is that druggists are tempted to
substitute the cheap Imitations of Peri na
for Peruna. It Is done every day, with
out a doubt.
