Carlson.
WINNIPEG, MAN, July 9-In the Burke
extradition case to-day Charles j. Carlson,
whose evidence was required to complete
the story of Burkes alleged connection with
tine Cronin murder, and who arrived from
Chicago by the noon train, was called to
testify.
Mr. Howell asked: "Do you know
prisonerm
Yes
Where is he?'
''There." said Carlson, pointing his hand
directly at the prisoner.
"What is his nameW asked Howell
"To me his name is Frank Williams,n
said Carlson.
IkThat was the point the prosecution de-
sired to establish, namely, that Frank Will
Jams and Martin Burke were one and the
same man. When Carlson entered the wit
ness box, Burke hung his head, and when
the witness pointed him out, and uttered
the name of Frank Williams, a deep
blush suffused Burke's face. The
witness then proceeded to tell the
story of the renting of the Carlson
cottage by the prisoner. The court then
adjourned until 7:30 o'clock when the
voluminous evidence was read to the
prisoner according to the statutes. At the
conclusion of the reading Burke entered a
plea of not guilty. The arguments will be
heard tomorrow

DEAR SIR: beg to acknowledge the receipt
OF your letter OF May 30 with inclosure | am
exceedingly sorry that difficulty has arisen
with regard to the challenge of the Royal
Yacht Squadron, made in my name for the
America cup, and my regret is greater since
md was mistaken as to the terms on which
the challenge would be accepted l did not
know that new deed Of gift was in any way
involved, and can only express my sincere
regret at being under misrepresentation in that
respect What | intended To do, and what
thought had done, was to challenge 10 sail the
Nakyrie for the cup against any vessel the New
York Yacht Club might select according TO the
conditions that governed the last three lnterna-
tlonal contests aud to the spirit OF that chal-
lenge wish to adhere. AS far as sailing for
the America cup is concerned, | am in the
hands of the Royal Yacht Squadron. If
they instruct me to sail. we'll and good. But
on the other hand | attach no Importance TO the
nature of the prize. All | care for is the inter
est belonging to fair composition between the
two vessels. and il the New York Yacht Club
find themselves unable to offer the America cup
as prize. shall be ready on my part to sail
against whatever yacht would have been selected
to defend it either for prize OF equal value or
for nothing at all Since there Is scarcely time
for further correspondence on the subject it
would be very convenient that | should be
represented by someone on your side of the
ocean. have therefore written letter to Gen.
Paine, of which inclose a copy, and if he will
kindly consent TO act for mo | will abide by
whatever arrangements he makes. l am send

room.
Mr.. Mayne, NJ p, also gave testimony.
lie said that he believed in boycotting, and

with the estimate, report was submitted on
behalf Of the foreign office by Baron Fake

STREATOR'S BIG STRIKE.
STEPS TAKEN THAT WILL PROBA-
BLY, END IT.

Work to Be Resumed Pending the
Outcome of ofArbitration-Proft Shar-
ing Had Been Proposed to the Men
But Rejected-No Prospect OF Peace
at the Brazil Mines.
STREAToR, ILL, July 9-Action was
taken by the miners of Streator yesterday
which will probably end the strike. The
Coal Run Company, which some time ago
proposed proft-sharing to its employees,
has, since the rejection of that scheme, sig
nided its willingness to arbitrate. At
mass meeting yesterday it was decided by
an almost unanimous vote to approve of an
arbitration between the Coal Run Company
and its employees. Streator is now by
nearly unanimous vote committed to an
Independent policy in the strike. After an
nouncing the vote the president stated to
the meeting that in his opinion arbitration
would settle the strike for all the miners of
Streator as well as for the Coal Run Com
pany. This company only employs 200
mon, but as the issues involved are
mainly the same as with the other mines,
settlement for one will be practically a set
tlement for all. The board of arbitration
will be composed of three men-one to be
chosen by the company, one by the miners
and these two are to choose a third. Their
award must be made on or before August
7th, and pending their decision, the Coal
Run Companys miners will resume work at
old prices.
BRAZII'S STRIKE.
BRAZIL, IND, July 9.-Nothing is expect
ed here from the effort of the state board of
charities to settle the miners strike by ar
bitration. The men will not return to work
at the prices offered, and the operators will
not abide by arbitration, for If an advance
is awarded, they claim they cannot pay it.
They are now making arrangements to put
machinery into their mines.
