CHICAGO, April 23.-The situation OF the
Lake Shore road remains unchanged. Sew
eral conferences have been held this morn
ing between the officials OF the road and
the s%witchmen, but no result has been
reached. The sher'ff's posse had not visited
the grounds at Forty-third street up to
noon. The crowd assembled there at that
hour was one OF great number.
LAX SHORE STRIKE ENDED.
CHIkAao, April 23, 2:44 p. m.-The strike
on the Lake Shore railroad is at an end.
Chairman Stabb, of the Switchmen's
Union, has just sent a telegram to the
strikers at the Forty-third street yards to-
report to the yardmaster there for duty.
President John Newell, OF the Lake Shore
road has just said to a reporter OF the AS
sosiated Press: I'VE have allowed the old
men to go back to work at their own re-
quest, without any stipulation whatever
turned to work. along with the union men
formerly in our employ. Men brought
here from other cities will not be put to
work in our yards here. The order for the
men to return to work was tele-
graphed from the general office
Of the Lake Shore Company at 2:3S p. m.
and within ten minutes switch engines b.
gan to leave the roundhouse, and the max
ing up of trains was at once begun. This
blockade will be completely ended this after
noon. One OF the striking switchmen at
the yards declares that the Lake Shire Of
ficials had agreed upon their part to dis
pose of eight n%on-union men in some man.
ner within the next six months by placing
them in some other depot OF otherwise
caring for them. In any event to take them
away from the yards where they are at
present working. At 3 p. nj. engine No 461
pulled out of the roundhouse manned by
u crew OF strikers. There is general shak-
ing of hands among men, and everybody
seems pleased.
NEW YORK STREET CARS.
New YORK, April 23.-The police were on
hand early to-day to guard the men who
are running the cars on the Third Avenue
surface railroad. The cars began running
at 7:3O O'Clock. There vac no excitement
whatever around the depot. Up to 10
O'Clock forty-four cars had started from the
depot.
PLASTERERS.
SAN ANTONIO, April 23.-Plasterers at
work throughout the city all struck yester-
day, demanding So for eight hours, or 81
for ten hours work per day. No trouble
has yet resulted.
EEFECT OF THE sUGAR TRIKE
New YORK, April 23.-The strike OF the
workmen in the Williamsburg sugar re-
~tineries has doomed prices o%fsugars. Gran
ulated sugar was quoted at 81 Saturday
last, yesterday it reached X. and it is said
prices are sure to advance still higher.
The stock OF refined sugar on hand
amounts to practically nothing. Business
has been slack and dealers have been buy
ing sugar in quantities Just sufficient to
supply the demand. Now that the country
demand has increased the strike has
caused prices to increase out of proportion
to the natural course OF trade. Raw sugar
was quotel at 5.1l-16 on April IA, yester-
day it was 5H. This shows a slight adj
vance in the cost Of raw material which is
accounted for by the present strike
but which will account for something OF
the advanced price OF refined sugar. The
however, has tended to very much
the advance.
THE LAKE SHORE CAPITULATIoN.
Further investigation tonight reveals
that the striker have virtually carried
their point. Chairman Stahl OF the strik-
ers' committee tonight, produced Il copy
