NO CHANGE IN THE STRIKE.

Bollermakers ReafHrm Their Position for
Shorter Hours.
A meeting Of boiler manufacturers may be
held to-day to discuss the situation Of the
strike. There were no new DEVELOPMENTS yes
terday. The workmen held another meeting
and renewed their determination to stand firm
for their demands.
Secretary Douthett of the manufacturers,
thinks the men have not acted fairly. Said he:
I'VE wanted to appoint committee to meet
the men, but they would not accept the propo-
sition. We want to do what is right. If higher
wages are paid elsewhere than we have been
paying, we will probably grant an increase. I
cannot tell, however. what will be DONE"

privileges of cable car companies should be
stopped somewhere.
THE RESOLUTION DEFEATED.
Mr.. Heating replied that the resolution
was not to give cable cars more privileges,
but to give funeral directors less. It was
not disrespect to the dead or to the be-
reaved, but because the man who sits on the
top of the first carriage in funeral process
sion takes possession of a track on the way
to the cemetery and doggedly determines to
hold it with his carriages, to the disadvan-
tage of every other vehicle, that he wanted
the resolution adopted.
A vote was then taken on the resolution,
and 1t was defeated by count of Ia to 9,
whereupon Mr.. Heating promptly notified
Mr.. Warmcastle that somebody would be
sued if he (Keating) was delayed by another
funeral procession. Mr.. Warmcastle init
mated in good-uatured way that he did not
care who Mr.. Heating sued, and Councils
fell back into the usual dull routine.

some OF the advantages which the West.
ern University Offers.
The completion and occupancy of the new
buildings of the Western University was
the consummation of the hopes entertained
for many years by the trustees, members of
the faculty, patrons and friends of the insti-
tuition generally. The building is complete
in every particular, and its elevated loca-
ton. easy of access, but free from the noise
and bustle of the center of the city, gives ad-
Yantages for study that could not otherwise
be secured.
With the new building has come an en-
larged and broader field of study, and all
the apparatus and appliances needed in an
institution taking the scope of the university
have been supplied. The course now en-
braces classical scientific, Latin scientific,
civil engineering and mechanical engineer
ing. There are elective courses, but the
student is expected to finish such courses as
he may select. In addition to laboratory,
the room for technical instruction, there is a
fine gymnasium. The next term will open
