John Burns Addressed the Men Yester-
day Morning-The End is Near.
LONDON, August 3lsL-The conference is
still in progress between the strikers and
employers. John Burns addressed the
men this morning. He said that victory
was nearer than had been deemed possible
a few hours ago. Men along the lower
reaches of the Thames were coming out,
and the belief was becoming general that
the end was near.
No settlement of the strike is possible to-
day. The dock companies express willing
ness 10 consider further authorized propo-
sails from the men.
Burns has obtained the consent of the
strikers TO authorize their leaders to agree
upon terms which the leaders think desir-
able to accept.
1t is stated that the managers OF the Albert
Docks have practically conceded the de-
mands of the strikers contained in the COM
promise proposal submitted last evening.
The iron-workers at Firth, in Kent, have
struck.
The mechanics crews on the Northwest
ern Railway demand five per cent. increase
of wages.
Burns held conference with the dock
companies to-day and submitted the COM
promised proposal agreed upon last night,
stating that the wharfngers indorsed it.
The dock companies issued a statement in
conjunction with the whsrtiugers 10 the
effect that they carefully considered the
proposition and are unable to accept it, and
denying that the wharingers had aSsented

The Nipsic on the Ways at Honolulu
Razing the Palace Wall.

RaZing the Palace Wall.
SAN Francisco, August 31st-The steam
8hip Zealandia arrived from Australia, New
Zealand, Samoa and Honolulu this after
noon at 2:30 o'clock.
News was brought that the United States
war vessel Nipsic is now on the marine
railway at Honolulu, where she is under
going the repairs rendered necessary be-
cause of the damage sustained in the
Samoan hurricane. The repairs are pro-
ceeding at rapid rate, and the crew occupy
the vessel the same as when in her natural
element. These facts speak highly in fa-
yor of the facilities afforded at Honolulu
for the repair of all vessels, large or small,
and, owing to the position of the Hawaiian
Islands in mid Pacific, this port as a place
for repairing ships cannot be over-eSli-
mated.
The Commercial AdrertiSer of Honolulu
has this to say about the reception of Con-
sui Severance: ''In several of our San
Francisco exchanges we observe statements
that Consul Severance was not received
here by the King. We will simply say
that all such statements are without foun-
dation. Mr.. Severance was most cordially
received by the King, who sent his band to
serenade him at the hotel The letter in
the Examiner, purporting to be from one of
the Kings household, is entirely false, and
was not sent by anyone near the King, who
is personal friend of Mr.. Severance"
The Interisland telegraph cable has been
laid successfully between the islands of
Maui and Molokai, and an attempt was
made to lay the cable between Oahu and
Molokai, but unpropitious weather has
prevented the work SO far.
Since the insurrection at Honolulu on
July 3Oth the palace wall has been taken
down to within three feet six inches of the
foundation all around, and the present in
tention is to have a neat ornamental iron
railing on the top, so as to give the sur
roundings better appearance and bring
into public view the palace, which is the
finest architectural ornament of the city.

Didn't Like Such Jokes

The Teuton is often a long time in
learning American idioms. One who had
been here for year or more, and who
could speak some English before his
arrival, very short and corpulent man,
by the way, went to his grocer's and paid
bill which had been standing for several
weeks.
"Now We are all square, Hans"
IL vas vat?"
You are square, said"

"Yes, you are all square now"
Hans was silent for a moment, then with
reddening face and flashing eyes he
brought his plump fist down upon the
counter and said:

The German Vessels at That Point Stil
Depressing the Natives.

The German Vessels at That Point Stil
Depressing the Natives.
WASHINGTON, August 31st.-Informa-
ton reaches here that the situation at
Samoa is still in an unsatisfactory shape.
The German vessels at that point do not
appear to have received the instructions
authorized by the conference of the Ameri-
can, English and German ambassadors at
Berlin, and are represented as conducting
themselves in a manner toward the natives
which has a tendency to prevent the ad-
justment of the troubles there. The State
Department officials are silent on the SUBJ
ject, but it is learned that the Germans
continue to exercise a high degree of
authority, and that rumors have been cir
culated among the natives that the Ger
man vessels would take active steps to sus-
tain the claims of the Germans there.
1t seems evident from such news as
reaches here that the instructions which
were expected TO have been sent to the
German representatives there, either had
not reached there at last accounts or else
were being disregarded.
This is believed by the National Officers
and others to be the underlying cause of
the refusal of Malietoa to assume the royal
prerogative, as indicted in recent reports
from London.

quantity of cereals TO be purchased in the
spring, and much corn has already been
distributed among the population, but the
people cannot be fed any length OF time BY
State charity, and accordingly the Govern
ment has bad to consider how large part
OF the Montenegrin population may be
made to emigrate.
In principle it has been decided that en-
igration on large scale offers the only
means of alleyiating the distress which
must recur through series of bad harvests
in small mountainous country like Mon
tenegro. 1t has also been resolved, in
principle, that Servia is the country to
which the Montenegrins should emigrate
seeing that Servia is a fruitful land with
plenty of spare ground where the popula-
ton is of one race and religion with the
Montenegrius. 1t is by no means certain.
however, that the Servisn Government will
favor the immigration of large number of
Montenegrins in the excited and divided
State of the country. The question has not
yet been officially mooted at Belgrade.

They were dressed in citizens cloth
ing to avoid arousing suspicion. As
Holzhay approached them they walked
toward him, apparently engaged in earnest
conversation and paying no attention to
the stranger at all. When they came near
they parted to allow Holzhay to pass be-
tween them. No sooner were they abreast
than the officers seized their man. one at
each arm and shoulder and threw him TO
the pavement. Holzhay struggled and
tried to reach his pocket, nearly succeeding
in doing so, and at that moment policeman
Whslen came up with his stick and gave
the prostrated robber q rap on the head,
which quieted him, and he made no fur
ther resistance. Handouts were then sp-
piled, and the terror of northern Wiscon-
sin and Michigan" was secure in the hands
of the law.
A purse found on Holzhay's person bore
the name of A. Fleischbern, in large letters
on the inside cover. Fleischbern was the
man who was killed during the attack
upon the stage.

FLORIDA ORANGE CROP.
1t is Estimated That 1t Will BE Sho
diving tn the PrnInnred Drnurht

1t is Estimated That 1t Will Be Short
Owing to the Prolonged Drought.
SAVANNAH (Ga.), August 31st.-M. II.
Connolly, Florida freight agent of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail
way, estimates the Florida orange crop,
from advices he has received from the
orange growing State, at 100000 boxes.
During the blooming season it was esti-
mated that the crop would reach 5000, 600,
but the long drought caused fully two-thirds
of the fruit in some sections 20 drop of,
and the highest conservative estimate now
made is 100000.
Last years crop, which early in the sea-
son was estimated at 8 $50 900 boxes, hardly
reached 100000 boxes. The bearing
acreage this year is about per cent.
greater than it was last year, and it was
partly on this increase in acreage that the
estimate for the increase of the crop was
made. The drought, however, played havoc
with the growers. The quality of the fruit,
so far as can be judged, will be fine.
Blight is the only thing that the growers
fear now.

PreSs.l
LONDON, August 31st.-The long smoul-
dering discomfort of the laborers in the
London docks received a strong stimulus
by the revelations before the Lords Com
mittee on Sweating last year.
The leaders of the labor movement
seizing the opportunity, vigorously prose-
cuIed the campaign in the East End and
famed into embers of discomfort until the
dock men, aroused from the lethargy
induced by their sordid surroundings,
submitted to the guidance of Burns and
other active spirits, their concerted action
leading to the present crisis.
The continuance of the strike for sew
enteen days, and the strikers determined
attitude now show that the leaders care
fully calculated probably the course of
the movement before the notice of the
strike was formally gwen.
Interviews had to-day with the function
aries whose duties bring them into daily
contact with dockmen and those of allied
employments, show that for years past the
condition of docRmen's families have been
as bad as any of the worst cases revealed
before the Sweating Committee"
Local radical clubs and other oIganiza-
tions are fully alive TO the importance of
striking while the iron is hot and they are
greatly assisted by lecturers and by house
to house propaganda, intended to foment
discomfort and forward what, in view of
to-nights situation and the strike commit
tees latest manifesto promises to develop
into an organized crusade against capital
ism generally.
The strikers adhere to their full demands,
though the countenauces of many who en-
ter and depart from the Relief Committee
rooms, plainly reveal the sharp privatioD.
Public feeling, both in the East End and
in city commercial circles strongly favors
the strikers. Local sympathy is actively
exerted TO supplement the various public
subscriptions to afford practical relief.
To-day the employees of Yarrow e Co.,
who are under heavy contract to supply
the Government with torpedo appliances,
struck, while 5000 iron workers at the Isle
of Dogs have gone out for an advance for
six pence. The dock laborers in the strike
number 10000. AS an immediate Sc
quence of their cessation, 20, 600 stevedores
5000 lightermen, 1900 clerks and nearly
$4,000 grain weighers and laborers are COM
pulsorily idle. A mass meeting of dock
men will be held in Hyde Park tomorrow.

Wanamaker Promises to Make a
Cheaper and Better Service.
WASHINGTON, August 31st-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker and President Nor
vim Green had a consultation last evening
respecting the telegraph service furnished
the Government by the Western Union
Telegraph Company. While the details
and plan have not yet been arranged, it is
understood that satisfactory progress is
being made towards an agreement upon
the lines laid down by the Postmaster Cen
eral.
The question of rates to the Government
for telegraph service is the point at issue,
but by no means the principal question, as
Postmaster-General Wanamaker's plans
contemplate considerable enlargement of
the functions Of the Postoffice Department
in the direction of cooperation with the
telegraph companies to make cheaper and
better service.

into a car, and for the first time in four
days had an opportunity to get much
needed rest. He was scarcely settled in a
car when crowd of Grand Army men,
wearing Phil Sheridan Post badges, came
into the car, and, in spite of every protest,
took charge of it. They howled and.
scrambled for seats until General Sherman
was compelled to move with his baggage
into the smoking car. He intended 10 re-
main in Chicago for few days, but was so
disgusted that he took the first train to New

Gray, in Jail here on charge of assaulting
Miss Mamie Saunders, escaped lynching
last night by two votes. A mob number
ing 100 had been organized to take Gray

mob agreed to take vote on the question
and abide by the decision of the majority.
Two managers of the election were Sc

used for a ballot. box. When the votes
were counted it was found that a majority
of two were opposed to lyDching and the
mob dispersed.
