SWITCHMEN'S STRIKE.
Conductors and Trainmen Decline to Give It
Any Support
Denver, Nov, 14. A meeting of
members of the Order of Kailway
Conductors and the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen was held this
afternoon, and tonight it is an
nounced that they have sustained
the position of Vice Grand Master
Lee in his opposition to the switch
men's strike, and decided to expel
from the orders all who went out as a
result of the switchmen's strike.
Grand Chief Clark, of the conductors,
and Grand Master Morrissey, of the
trainmen, were present.
Grand Chief Clark and Grand Mas
tre Morrissey tonight issued a state
ment in regard to the strike, which
says that the present agreement be
tween the Rio Grande Company and
the order mentioned cover yard ser
vice, and that it was made years be
fore the organization of the Switch
men's Union here. The statemet de
clares that the conductors and train
men's organizations have attained a
high place in public estimation by
living up to their agreements and that
they will observe the same policy in

DELAY IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Danish West Indies Treaty May Not Come
Before Next Congress.
Washington, Nov. 14. It is doubt
ful whether the projected treaty of
cession of the Danish West Indies to
the United States will be completed
in time to submit to congress when it
reassembles next month. The delay
appears to have arisen through the
last change in the ministry at Copen
hagen, with the state department,
practically having reached an agree
ment with the Danish government
on the treaty when the entry into
power of a new ministry not well dis
posed toward the treaty made it nec
essary to begin the work all over
again. The issues do not touch the
price to be paid so much as the con
ditions as to the future of the citizen
ship of the Danish West Indies,
sought to be imposed " by Denmark.
The United States desires a simple
treaty and one that will leave it at
perfect liberty to deal with the islands
without any restrictions.

also Lieutenant Colonel John F.
Stretch. The third battalion, on
the second train, was commanded by
Major F. F. Eastman. Several of
the officers were accompanied by their
wives.

Mis Julia Marlowe, writing In tie
Dramatic Number of Collier's Weekly,

ENTERED A PliOTEST
DICKINSON COMPLAINS TO THE
BULGARIAN GOVERNMENT.
Reviews the Matter From the Beginning Is
Hampered In His Efforts by Movements
of Bulgarian Troops-Will Hold Bulgaria
Responsible for the Life of Miss Stone
Should She be Slain.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 14. Consul
General Dickinson, of Constantino
ple, has supplemented his verbal
representations to the Bulgarian
government by a note today, in
which he recapitulates the history
of the aduction by brigands of Miss
Stone and her companion, Mme.
Tsilka, and the steps taken to obtain
her release, and reminds the foreign
minister of his promise to give every
assistance. He also instances where
the attitudo of subordinate officials
has not conformed with this assur
ance. Finally, Mr. Dickinson re
peats his demand for the non-interference
of the government in the nego
tiations. Mr. Dickinson also quotes from
Miss Stone's letters, saying that the
chief danger to which she is exposed
is flight from hiding places by night
at the approach of troops. He de
clares that the people of the United
States will hold the Bulgarian gov
ernment morally and legally respons
ible for the lives of the captives,
should the bandits, exasperated by
pursuit, slay thefn.
The government's reply, according
to the opinion expressed in official
circles, will set forth that while hesi
tating to establish the precedent that
the government gave protection to
brigands in treating for the ransom .
of captives in the present caso, in
volving the safety of two ladies, the
government, as an act of courtesy
and humanity, will comply with Mr.
Dickinson's request.
A private agent who was employed,
to vis't Doubritza reports that the
members of the secret committee
were discussing the lowest terms of
ransom that would be acceptable.
One member of the committee in
formed the correspondent of the
Associated Press that ho had been
invited to join the band and take
part in the kidnaping, but that he
refused and deprecated an attack
upon inoffensive women, pointing
out that such action was calculated
to cost the committee more in sym
pathy and support than the value of
20 ransums. This view seems to be
dawnihg gradually, even in Bulgar
ian circles, where the kidnaping is
condoned as in the interest of a sacred
cause.
LAYING IN SUPPLIES.
China Continues to Manufacture Arms and
Ammunition In Vast Quantities,
London, Nov. 14. Telegraphing

at Shanghai. Forty thousand gun
stocks were recently imported and
15,000 Mausers are now ready for
distribution. Large contracts for
the supply of rifles are being negoti
ated by the representatives of Euro
pean firearm makers. Work on the
railway from Hankow to Canton has
not yet begun. Recently Shang, the
Taotai, asked that categorical assur
ance should bo given the Chinese gov
ernment that this concession, which
was granted to an American syndi
cate, because the syndicate was
American, should not become sub
ject, as was reported from America,
to the Belgians, who hold three
fourths of the original stock."
