COUNT OF VOTES FINISHED Conductors and Trainmen Meet Managers This Morning Eacli Party Says the Limit or Con cessions Is Reached. CHICAGO. March 25. A crisis has been reached in the negotiations between the railroads throughout the West and their employes over the wase question, and it is "up to the general managers," ac cording to representatives of the 50.000 trainmen who have voted to strike un less their demands are granted. The re ply of the general managers to this sen timent is, "We have conceded all we can." Tomorrow morning both sides will meet in conference, and unless there is a back down, the most gigantic strike in the history of the transportation In this coun try appears imminent. Forty railroads, with a trackage of 95.000 miles and an annual payroll of J32O,O0O,OOO, are stand ing together on the proposition. These systems represent one-third of the rail road business of the country. Opposed to this aggregation of capital stands the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, with a membership of between 40,0i0 and ,i)00, and the Order of Rail way Conductors, with a membership of 43.000. They demand an increase of 12H per cent and working day of nine hours. The general managers have offered a 10 per cent increase without the nine-hour work-day. The work of counting the ballots cast by the men on the question of accepting the concessions of the general managers or calling a strike was completed at midnight tonight. The official figures will be announced tomorrow, when the men meet with the general managers, but It Is said that S5 per cent of the men voted in favor of a strike. It is declared in a story printed in the livening Post today that, tn case a strike is ordered, the conductors of the Chicago & Northwestern will refuse to go out. Boston Teamsters May Strike. BOSTON. March 25. With a strike of . 6000 teamdrivers in and about Boston pending, the executive committee of the General Truck Teamsters' Union No. 12 has been given full authority to act in the matter. 1 ' A unanimous vote to this effect was taken at a meeting of the union last night. The master teamdrivers refused to sign the new agreement, which calls for one-half hour less in a day's work and a relief from Sunday and holiday work, which will necessitate the employ ment of additional stablemen. The new wage demand Is for an In crease of $1 a week for all classes of teamsters. Strike Against Open Shop. ' NEW YORK, March 25. The first general strike of the Children's Cloak and Keeformakers" Union went Into ef fect yesterday in 45 shops throughout the Kast Slue against a declaration of the employers for the open shop and for a renewal of the agreement of last year. About one-third of the strikers are women. In all about 3000 workers are affected. THEIR OWN PHYSICIANS. Instances Where Animals Cleverly Heal Their Own Sores. Boston Advertiser. A clergyman named Young, who was engaged for a long time in missionary work In Northwestern Canada, had among his dogs, of which a large number was necessary for drawing his sleds, one Rover. This dog not only attended its own wounds, but actually performed the duties of surgeon to all of its fellows. Oalls. wounds, frozen feet and other like unpleasantmsses consequent upon the pe culiar toil they had to perform were sys tematically And successfully treated by "Ur." Rover. He had one remedy, the an nolntlng of the afflicted part with his saliva. Wherever he applied his remedy the cure was speedy. It was noticed that parts of the toes of the dog's patients which could not be reached by the dog doctor's tongue went unhealed. Mr. Young says that the Indians in admira tion of the canine's wonderful learning called him Muskeko Atini, meaning the surgeon. This instance shows that the saliva of the dog whan that animal Is In health and properly fed has a powerful bactericidal effect. Cats, cattle, rats, mice and monkeys are all known to lick their wounds when they get at them, and when they cannot do so they endeavor to get their com panions to perform this office for them, if the queer little worlds which they know were possessed of newspapers intel ligible to them, it would doubtless be true that they would be frequent contributors to these columns devoted to home reme dies, and they would tell in glowing and convincing language how they had tried this method with such success that they would have no other. The John Hopkins men who, are inquiring Into this subject call attention to an Incident narrated by Dr. James Weir, in which a large monkey figured. The monkey scratched his shoul der badly on a nail which projected from the side of his cage. Immediately upon sustaining the injury the queer creature went to a corner and selected a handful of clean sawdust to place upon the wound until the bleeding stopped, which was in but a few moments. The saw dust was saturated with blood, which had dried and formed a most excellent coating for the wound, protecting it until entirely well. It should be mentioned that the dog's medical instinct does not halt at the saliva treatment. The dog that goes - searching around In the field with apparent almlessness and finally settles down to chew up some unattractive and unpalatable green is taking a prescription taught him by nature. The blades he eats are those of the couch grass which your physician would probably designate on his prescription blank as trltlcum repens, and It performs the offices of a purga tive. Instances could be recited at length of animal display of the medical instinct. Horses, and even the less Intelligent mules, eat clay when they are afflicted with a stomachic disorder, commonly designated by the veterinarian as "sours." Cattle suffering with eczema have fre quently been known to plaster an affected hoof and Joint with mud. Dr. Weir tells of a cow which deliberately broke the Ice on pond In the Winter and treated her Itching Joint to a bath of mud. The fond ness of the domestic cat for catnip Is not a condition of mind attendant upot the enjoyment of absolute health, for tt H only when the feline Is feeling some RQAOS BALANC what under the weather that it 'will seek the solace of the soothing properties of this vegetation. Under such circumstances cats have been known to travel miles to get the catnip. Dr. George M. Gould cites instances of woodcock killed, which, when examined, were found to be recovering from previ ous wounds indicted by hunters.- Such wounds, made by small shot in the body of the bird, were neatly dressed with down plucked from the stems of feathers and deftly arranged about the injured place. This work was evidently done with the beak of the bird. The skill of members of the feathered tribe in build ing their dainty nests Is testimony tb their ability in accomplishing work of this character with neatness and dispatch. Of the success of this work Dr. Gould bears witness In the statement that the wood cock were found to be convalescent from old wounds. The same authority tells 'of cases of bone-setting by birds, which would be beyond belief If man was not already familiar with the marvelous In telligence of the lower creatures. Birds, which have fallen into the hands of nat uralists and which had previously sus tained serious wounds on the legs, were found to have actually reinforced the dressing of down with small straws or twigs Just as a doctor would set a broken limb in splints before applying bandages. EYES DIMMED WITH BLOOD DRAMATIC SCEXE WHEN THE DOUMA DEBATES TERROlt. Democrats Demand Abolition of Courts-Martial Terrorist Tri bunals Cited in Retort. ST. PETERSBURG, March 25. The question of drumhead courts-martial was raised in the Douma today on a motion of the Constitutional Democrats for ap pointment of a committee to draft a bill providing for their abolition. The Cabinet Ministers were present. Mr. Makaloff. Constitutional Democratic leader, showed the Inconsistency of the establishment un der the constitution of martial law and traced Its development and its continued existence In various forms. The Conservative orators did not de fend the summary proceedings, but they declared that desperate conditions de manded equally desperate remedies. They maintained that the passage of the reso lution would involve a surrender to an archy. M. Shulgin, Conservative, proposed that the Constitutional Democrats introduce a measure providing against the establish ment of a terrorist tribunal. " He declared that, if the drumhead court-martial were abolished, the people would be forced In self-defense to aid revolutionary excesses. M. Krushevan, anti-Semitic, referring to the disorders in Roumania, said that flames had been kindled in Russia and other lands by the same cause, namely. the economic exploitation of the peasan try by the Jews. M. Purlshke-vich, a landowner of Bes sarabia, said: 'I cannot see because my eyes are dimmed with blood, and read a list of the terrorist assassinations, asserting that their Increase was due to the leni ency with , which the early slayers had been treated. He said the Radicals' favorite epithet for the ministers and Conservatives was "murderers," but the real murderers sat In the left part of the house. To prove it he read a resolution adopted by the congress of Social Revo lutionists, placing terrorism under the control of the same committee which directed the tactics of the party in Par liament. There was a dramatic incident during the speech of M. Teslinko, Constitution al Democrat, who accused the govern ment of using drumhead courts-martial arbitrarily against Revolutionists, but never against the reactionary criminals. "Sazoneff, Mile. Spirldonova and other fighters for liberty who escaped death are spending tortured existences in Si beria, but where are the Inciters of Jew ish massacres? What court has pun ished them?" As M. Teslinko asked these questions he looked squarely at M. Krushevn, who sprang to his feet and declared his readi ness to answer for his acts before any tribunal. A Cossack Deputy demanded that the army be "no 'longer used for hangman's work." It Is expected the resolution will be adopted by an enormous majority. It is not strongly opposed by the government, as the law providing for trials by drum head courts-martial will lapse by expira tion of its two months' limit tomorrow.

NOT AIMED AT JEWS ALONE Premier Cantacuzene Promises Agrarian Reform After Revolt Is Suppressed Outrages Continue and Government Helpless. LONDON, March 25. That the Rou manian government considers the re cent trouble in Moldavia and Wallachia a result of -similar disturbances in tire adjacent provinces of Russia and not of an anti-Jewish character, is evi dent from & communication made to the Associated Press' today by Premier Cantacuzene and telegraphed by him from Bucharest to London. The Pre mier says: "The grave troubles which have broken out in Roumania do not arise from any anti-Semitic feeling. They are of a well-defined agrarian charac ter. The peasants are devastating not only the nouses and farms of Jewish farmers, but also those of Roumanian landed proprietors. It is undeniable that these sad occurrences are in part a result of the agitation now prevalent In Russia, especially in Bessarabia, which borders on Roumania. "The government Is taking energetic measures to restore order and it hopes that by active military intervention the rioting quickly will be suppressed. Immediately thereafter the government will Introduce measures for necessary agrarian reforms." BEYOND CONTROL OF TROOPS Roumania Peasants Burn, Pillage and Kill at Will. BUCHAREST. March 25. That ithe re volted peasants of Roumania are at least temporarily -beyond the control of the Government forces in the field Is amply evidenced by the stories of pillaging and incendiarism coming in from all parts of Moldavia and Wallachia. There have been several serious con flicts between peasants and troops in ithe districts of Valsui. where 2000 peasants, armed with rifles and revolvers, attacked a company of soldiers. The troops fired several volleys, killing 40 persons and wounding large numbers, but the soldiers were so greatly outnumbered that they finally were obliged to retreat. At the village of Teleoraman In the Alexandria district, Wallachia, peasants attacked the synagogue and burned '40 houses. The rioters demolished and com pletely pillaged Zimnicea, another village in the Alexandria district. The army reserve men are fraternizing with the marauders and participating in the work of plunder. Thousands of peasants surround the town of Rosiori de Vede, tn the Alex andria district, with the Intention of looting it If a favorable opportunity arises. The total number of troops now at Mol davia is 32.610, but large reinforcements are still required. At today's session of the Chamber of Deputies, the members suggested to the government that energetic repression was the only course Bulted to the disturbed condition of the country. The plunder continues jon a large scale in the Roman, Putna, Jassy and Botosahnl districts. The peasants are setting fire to everything within reach, but flee at the appearance of troops. The Minister of War, General Man ako, has ordered the mobilization of four additional regiments at Jassy, where 12,000 trcops already have been concentrated. The artillery Is en camped on tlie principal street and shops are closed. It is reported that 40,000 or 50,303 peasants are ready to attack the place. Copies of a manifesto were distrib uted yesterday accusing the govern ment of responsibility for the recent disorders and advising the people to take the law into their own hands. The author of this manifesto, the procura tor of Vaslul, has been dismissed. Anarchy prevails at Nanolossa, and the reports from that village are alarming. A bloody encounter between peas ants and military Is reported from Galatz, where Sunday the troops fired on the peasants, killing 200. From Vaslui it is reported that bands of robbers are marauding. The leaders of these bands have assumed the title of "general" and contributions are be ing .levied on all villages and farms. The naphtha districts are still quiet. Austrian gendarmes at Zenatzy have arrested some Roumanian soldiers who were endeavoring to sell loot The situation is so serious that the Roumanian Parliament is considering the advisability of investing the gov ernment with extraordinary power.
