Orderly Meeting Of the Strik-
ers to Confer With Tran
sit Officials.
The Contract Withdrawn, Diff
ferences Adjusted and the
Strike Off.
Satisfactory Adjustment Of
What Threatened a Sc

The People Who Fail to Secure
Rides Do Most Of the
Swearing.

After many months of serence eX-
emption from labor trubles of any
magnitude, st. Paul had narrow es-
cape yesterday, from what might
have proved a serious and protratced
strike. Since the little difficulty of
just four years ago, the street railway
company has had very smooth time
with its army of employees, and it ap-
peared that the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit company had fallen heir to pleasant
lines in that respect. A speck appeared
upon its horizon yesterday, but it has
passed away before it ASSUMED the
dignity of cloud. BY the time this
mornings GLOBE reaches its readers,
the electric and cable cars will be bowl
ins along as usual. with nothing to dis
turb the pleasant relations subsisting
between the great twins, capital and
labor.
There was no trouble in St. Paul, but
it was the fear of trouble that caused
the strike, and when the apprehension
was removed the strike fell Of its own
weight. The Minneapolis men struck
against what they declared grievance,
and their st. Paul brethren joined them
through sympathy and to make com-
mon cause. When the strike ended in
the former city the men went TO work
before they even notified the men over
here. go that a delay occurred in get
ting the st. Paul lines in motion. But
this morning will find everything run
ming along as usual, and all grounds for
apprehension have been happily re-
moved,

accede to the demands Of the strikers,
and would not insist on the proposed
contracts being signed, and would ar
range matters to suit the men. This
being satisfactory to the strikers, the
men reported to the barns. and cars
were being taken out as rapidly as pos
sible. The news was taken to the
meeting which was in session in Labor
hall, and the street railway officials at
once announced that the ears would be
running in half an hour.
There was some hitch. however. for
up to Z O'Clock only the Rice and Con-
cord and the Rice and State street lines
were operating the usual number of
cars. The solitary cable car on the
Fourth street line, with Barn Foreman
Burns as gripman and Conductor
Stubbs, who had refused to go out with
his fellows, made the round trip as
often as possible; and the East Seventh
street line, which had been running four
cars, was reinforced by half-a-dozen
more as soon as the news was received
that the strike in Minneapolis had
been declared off. Shortly after z
o'clock the meeting at Labor hall ad-
journed, ana the men went at once to
the several barns, and in less than an
hour cars were running on all the lines.

it been week day, business would have
been seriously interrupted, and this in
the face of the fact that it is not long
since the advent of street cars. Still,
Sunday.of all the week, when the wealth.
er is propitiOus, is the day when the
street cars do land office business. 1t
is the day when attention is turned with
common thought lakeward, and to-
wards shady resorts where relief from
the relentless heat is available. Yester-
day the attempted exodus from the sun
Scorched city was unusually great.
From early hours until late in the after
noon the masses sought methods and
means of reaching a suburban refresh
ing spot.
IL was nearly midday before the popu-
lace seemed TO fully realize that the
cars had been stopped. All forenoon
long lines of people could be observed
waiting on all th<0Street corners along
street car lines waiting impatiently for
cars. Finally the condition became
more generally known, and other and q
good many lmprOvised vehicles were in
general demand and largely patronized.

portunity is present. They were out,
legionS upon legionS, so to speak. and
they found all they cared to do in pro-
viding transportation for parties seeking
a resort. True, the East Seventh street
cable line to the st. Paul IL White Bear
Lake railroad kept moving the greater
part of the day, but this was at not very
frequent intervals. The accommuda-
tions were inadequate 10 the demands
that Wildwood's attractions created.
Every car that went out was crush Of
humanity bent upon getting there at all
hazards.
Every livery rig in the city found
ready hire. and long before the sun was
at its zenith there was not turnout to
be secured at any stable. One liyeryman
stated last evening that had he hun
dred rigs he could have let every one.
One result of the lack of facilities in
this respect compelled a great many
citizens who had planned otherwise to
spend the day at the hearthstone.
1t is reported that the churches were
generally unusually lightly attended.
This is reasonable to suppose, for the
majority of church goers have IA prac-
tice of patronizing the Lowry carriages.
But this condition was different i'll the

WORK OF THE PICKETS.
No Opposition to the Request to
Cease Work.

No Opposition to the Request to
Cease Work.
When the meeting broke up at the un-
earthly hour of 80 in the morning the
'pickets," or the committees appointed
to notify the remainder of the strikers,
started out on their work. In every case
they were successful. Every conductor
and motoneer when informed of the ac--
ton of the all-night meeting refused to
take out car, and either went home or
else proceeded to the headquarters of
the strikers at Central avenue. The
'pickets" were on duty all the forenoon.
and it was not until about l O'clock that
they made their appearance to announce
that everything was tied up.
AS far as is known, only one car made
a start, and this occurred because the
notification committee had not reached
the car barn in time. This was on the
Twentieth avenue north line. The first
car out made start and went out to the
end of the line, but when it reached the
barn on Nineteenth avenue and Wash
lngtOn on its way down town, the men
were informed of what had taken place,
and willingly consented to knock off for
the day, or several days longer, it nee
esSary.
Ats O'Clock in the morning three con-
ductors, a committee from the strikers.
called at the power house to see Gen
eral Manager Held. They waited until
O'Clock, but no one came, and they
quietly departed. No other striker ap-
peared at the power house all day. A
short while after the committee had
left Messrs. Goodrich and Held drove
up, and. unhitching the horse, went to
the offices up stairs. They sat about
serene and cool, talking nonchalantly
about everything and acting as if they
had never heard that there was a tie
up. Both were absolutely non.com-
INITIAL as to the plans of the company.

ALGER ON PENSIONS.

NOTES.

None Of the st. Paul strikers evinced
any feeling of bitterness. Still they
were firm. They claim that they took
the course that they pursued To prove
to their em ployer that there could be
no tempOriZing when principles of such
moment were in question. They hold
that should thay accede to the Will OF
the street car people in the present in
stance, it would lead to other complica-
ti0ns even more damaging to the street
car employees. The st. Paul operatives
had no special grievance, they con-
cede, but went out i'll order to give back
bone to the Minneapolis movement.
When the announcement was received
by the st. Paul men that the Mlnneapo-
lis people had returned to their posts,
the intelligence was heralded with
pleasure. They claim that none or them
like strikes. and that they only reSOrted
to that end as heroic measure, and
with the thought that it would forever
crush out the contract conditions that
the car men refused to sign.
AS rule the strikers were orderly
and gentlemanly. In few instances,
however, libations were somewhat too
liberal, and the effect was to stimulate
rather loud talk, and prOmulgate, in
measure, revolutionary ideas. But in-
cendiary speech was little heard, and
never save where ulteriOr influences
were felt.
Not all the strikers returned TO their
work last evening. Some had gone out
to Wildwood, and others were too ready
to accept the holiday, and enjoy the
event as respite from toll. One con-
ductor said that it was the pleasantest
day he had experienced for over a year.
He added that he had at no time enter
tanned a doubt or the outcome. lie felt
that Mr.. Lowry and his lieutenants must
awake to the injustice of the contract
and rescind the order.
There was very little after all in the
matter. Perhaps any attorney would
say that any employe is liable to the
company in damages caused by his own
negligence or carelessness.
The st. Paul men feel that their
Minneapolis brethren treated them a
little cavalierly after inducing them To
join the strike, then going back to work
without notifying them.
1t was quite too bad that Mayor
Wright and Chief Garvin chanced 10 be
out of the city. Wise heads are in
demand in such an emergency.
People living out in the suburbs yes
terday morning realized that the Lowry
service is pretty good after all. If they
walked three miles in the sun, they
were ready to swear to it.
The first cars to resume travel were
gazed at by the corner crowds as though
an electric car were novelty in the
city.

ExTRADlTIONF FEES.
The Matter Discussed by the Can
adian Minister,

OTTAWA, June Isl. A. Ouimet,
acting minister of justice, is engaged
in preparing a tariff for judges and
commissioners appointed to sit in ex-
tradition cases. He will submit the
same to the cabinet for approval. This
is an outcome of the trouble which
arose over the unpaid fees in the extra
dition case of Harris Blank and Carl
ROsewig. There was good excuse for
some of the fees in this case not being
paid by the United States. For in
stance the judge who sat on the case in
Montreal is said to have charged
$40 per day. The statute does
not make provision for such charge. In
fact, it is direct violation of judges
commission to make any charge in
case upon which he sits. Magistrates
and commissioners are different in this
respect. 1t appears that the United
States consul general at Montreal in
Quired into these unpaid fees, and dis
covered there was no legal authority
for charging them. He reported the
same TO Washington, and when the
Canadian government was asked for the
charges in detail it could not give them.
When the tariff is made, there will be
no difficulty in collecting the bill of eX-
pense either in the United States or
Canada as the case may be.

CRAZED WITH GRIEF,
A Young New Yorker Jumps
From Brooklyn Bridge.

A Young New Yorker Jumps
From Brooklyn Bridge.
New YORK, June 1S.-An unknown
man about twenty-five years old jumped
from the north roadway of the Brooklyn
bridge this evening and landed upon
the roof of the shed that covers Pier 80,
East river. He was instantly killed.
The man was first seen by a bridge po-
lceman just as he was vaulting over
the side railing of the bridge. He fell
hundred feet, his body striking the
roof of the shed with such force
that the tinbers were broken
and the tin covering bent and twisted.
Among the letters found on his person
was letter signed Maggie Mulrennin.
saying that the writer was about to
undergo dangerous operation at hos
pital. The writer of the letter is sup
posed to have been the wife of the dead
man. One theory of the suicide is that
the woman, having died from the effects
of the operation, the husband, crazed
with grief, took his own life.

under the agreement made at the meet
ing in Labor hall. While he did not
care to discuss the strike. he ventured
the opinion that it was mistake on the
part of the men. All of the employees,
he said, did not go out at several of the
barns; those who quit were only the
conductors and motoneers. The strike
was sympathetic one aud was caused
simply by the employees in Minneapolis
going out. The men here had no reason
for their action. and large number Of
them, he said, had admitted they had
made a mistake.

M'GLYNN HOMEWARD BOUND
He Will Be Given Parish If He
Desires It,

NEW YORK, June 18.-Rev. DR.. R. L.
Burtsell, who was the counsel OF Rev.
DR.. Edward McGlynn. and whose state
ments may be regarded as authentic,
has reviewed DR.. McGlynn's case. DR..
Burtsell said DR.. McGlynn had sailed
for Rome OH May 26 for the purpose of
having the interview with the pope
which he was reported to have had, and
that baving had the interview he would
soon return to New York. DR.. Burt
sell also said DR.. McGlynn would be
given parish IL he desired one. He
did not visit the pope as a penitent ask
ing pardon, but as priest in good
standing, and as such was received by
Leo. DR.. Burtsell further said that DR..
McGiynn was never tried and con-
demned according to the form of pro-
eedure by the church, and for that rea-
son Mgr. Sat0lli restored him without
inf1ieting any penance. At the same
time DR.. McGfynn promised to visit the
pope. has done so, has been we'll re-
ceiyed, and now is coming home.

UNCLE SANS SID e.
A Nice Point at Issue I'm Case OF
Long Strike.

Long Strlke.
The effect on the mail system be-
tween the cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis would result in considerable
inconve nience through a protracted
strike, and would necessitate some tenn.
porary arrangement for the carrying of
mails that are now carried on the inter-
urban line. The rapid delivery of let
tiers between the cities has been great
convenience since the mail boxes were
placed on the street cars, and it would
be matter OF some moment to provide
for the carrying thereof in case the cars
on the interurban line were not run.
The fact that these are used for car
rying the United States mail would
deter the strikers from any further in
reference than refusal to work. and
would make it unwise and dangerous to
use any methods to prevent other men
from taking the places of the strikers.
The contract of the company to carry.
the mails on this line would induce a
great effort to operate the Interurban
cars so as not to make any hitch in the
mail service. Happily, there is no rea-
son to make test case of this matter,
as the strike occurred on Sunday, when
no mail is carried, and was ended before
this morning.

AtMountain Iron there was no risk, as
the companies Cancelled all their poll
cies several days ago. There is no
question as to Virginia. but it is said
said that a considerable portion of
Mountain Iron is safe. MeSaba, the
first town located Oh the range, is now
deserted. There were about 200 houses
there. But little can be learned of Nc
Kinley. 1t has possibly escaped. The

President Greatsinger, of the Iron
Range road, left at this evening over
his road with box car and baggage car
full of provisions, and three passenger
coaches. They will go to Biwa6Ik, and
thence over the Mesaba road to Vir-
ginia. Virginia, with population of
1000, is ali destroyed, except four
houses. Merritt. population 500, beauti-
fully situated on Embarass lake, is also

the matter of insurance, but your cor

AT THE EAST SIDE.

The Men Accept their Triumph
and Decide to Work.
The peaceful and quick settlement of
the trouble, which for time looked as
if it might extend over long and try
ing period, was not accomplished with
out several exciting and thrilling scenes.
for the men were in no mood to be
trlfled with, and would have secured
their end if they had had to fight it out
all summer. The settlement was reached
at 2 o'clock Ill the Afternoon, and the
first car to turn wheel after the decla-
ration of the end of the embryo strike
moved from an East side barn twenty
minutes afterward amid the cheers of
the men and the applause of every SYM
pathizer. From o'clock until the
service was running as usual ears were
