STRIKE MAY SOON END.
Some Important Steps Taken In the LIE
high Strike AfHAirs.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The chiefs rep
resenting the several railway organizations
of the United States and the chairmen of
the different local committees of the lie
high Valley strikers held a long secret ses-
sion at the Bingham House here. 1t was
currently reported that this conference
was held for the purpose of discussing the
advisabilits of declaring the strike off at
stated time and giving the striking en-
ployees chance to get back positions not
already taken by the new men hired by the
company.
Chiefs Clark and Wilkinson We're posi-
tive in their denials that such action was
ever contemplated Mr.. Wilkinson said a
conference would be held, and Mr.. Clark
later said that there would be none, and if
there was one he would give out nothing
for publication at that time.
Notwithstanding these contradictory
statements, Messrs. Rice, Donavan, Demp-
sey and Davids, chairmen of the strikers
committees, together with seven Jersey
Central railroad men and the members Of
the general grievance committee, were in
executive session. The presence of the
Jersey Central men is significant. Some
reports gained circulation that the Jersey
Central men would be asked to join the
strikers in the event of the Lehigh Valley
company continuing to hold to its avowed
plans, and it was for the purpose of pro
testing against such action, it is said, that
these men had come.
General Manager Voorhees, returned
from Bethlehem and said that tho company
has all and more men than it can use. He
admits that the road is not in the best run
ming order now, but says the company will
select the most competent of the new men
it has and put them to work.
President Wilbur of the Lehigh Valley
has consented to meet the New York and
New Jersey state boards of arbitration at
Bethlehem today.
Speaking of the strike, President Wilbur
said: Business is improving at all points
along the line. There are large number
of coal collieries in operation. l don't see
but that the strike is over. do not mean
to say that things are altogether in as good
shape now rs before the strike began, but
we are running trains on all divisions with
out incOnvenience.

ARE They ALVEY
Tho Disappearance of DIR. Merriam and
Miss Yeargin stIII a Mystery.

ITHACA, n. Y, Nov. 29.-Much excite
ment was caused here over the report that
DIR. L. 5. Merriam and Miss Mary l.. Year
gin, who were supposed to have been
drowned in Lake Cayuga, Nov. IS, were in
New York city and that the doctor had
written to a friend in Ithaca last Friday in
forming him of his whereabouts,
Every day since the two young people
FIRST disappeared the lake has been dragged
by competent boatmen. Four candle pow
er incandescent lamps, run by a small Edl-
son dynamo, have been employed in illumi-
mating the bottom of the lake so that the
search could be more thoroughly made,
but all to no avail. The university has of
fered a reward of $50 for the recovery OF
both bodies, and the father of DIR. Merriam
has increased the amount to $50.
There are some very queer things con-
nected with the affair. The finding OF the
doctors overooat has created considerable
comment. The coat, together with Miss
Yeargin's gloves, was found on the bank
of lake quite dry. The boat was near by
partly filed with water. There are some
who are inclined to believe the story that
DIR. Merriam aud Miss Yeargin are still
alive, and more important disclosures are
looked for

THE OLNEYvlLLE STRIKE.
The Mill Owners ofer a Rebate OF Pei
Cont on the CntdoMn.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. ca final PROPOSE
ton was made to the striking weavers by
the owners of the Saxon, Weybosset, River
side and Fletcher mills at Olneyville The
committee of the strikers waited upon each
of the mill owners separately and were in
formed that the various companies had de-
cided to offer them a rebate of per cent
on the original cutdown. Whether or not
the proposition is accepted by the strikers,
the mills will all start up for business next
Monday morning.
If the employees accept the reduction,
they will be given work at once and enough
to last through the winter. II they refuse,
the mills will in all probability be shut
down until next spring, and no future
negotiations will avail the strikers. 1t Is
now a question with them whether they
will accept the company's schedule and
work through the winter, or whether they
will refuse and lie idle. There is much
moro destitution prevalent among the
strikers than their leaders will admit, and
there is a general hope that they will ao-
cept the company's offer. 1t "A mass meet
ing much hostility was expressed to any
proposition to accept a considerable cut
down

This large amount of money is
still loose among the Mechanics,
the hired girls, and the working
people who have been always of a

new evidence of this fact every
day. Some of them come in
every day with rolls of money
which they drew from the bank
last spring and have not ct re-
turned it. They have lost the
interest on their money, and
now they are making it UP on

travellers should Always Take Notes

First rule for all travellers: Set down
everything you see in a notebook; never
travel without q notebook. Make notes
of all you observe, if it is only bank of
primroses. Note the people in the car
riage; what they are like; what they talk
about; how the women are dressed; what
books they are reading; if they look hap
Ply or not. It is interesting when the
country is dull to watch the faces of
your fellow travellers and to construct
in general terms their future, their pres
ent and their past. And in few years |
know not whether it is more sad or more
delightful to open these old notebooks
and to remember when they were filled

RHODE ISLANDS ELECTION.
Plurality Elections Decided on by AL
most Unanimous Vote,


PROVIDENCE, Nov. 29.-The people of the
state voted on an amendment to the con
Stitution in favor of plurality elections in
PACE of majority elections. as at present.
The change has been demanded for years,
and the proposed amendment was intro
duced into the last senate by Republican,
but received the support Of all parties, and
yesterday the people by an overwhelming
majority decided in its favor.
The election was great victory for the
Republicans. They elected their candidate
for mayor, Colonel Frank F. Olney, by a
majority of 800 and secured control of both
branches of the city council. The Demo
Gratis made desperate fight, and in some of
their strongholds discovered errors in the
first count which favored their nominees.
Whether these mistakes We're actually
made does not affect the result. The
amendment to the constitution providing
FOR plurality instead of majority elections
vas adopted by practically unanimous
vote.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-George D. John
ston, civil service commissioner, has been
removed by the president. He was the
only Democrat on the commission and was
appointed from Louisiana by President
Harrison to succeed Hugh S. Thompson.
The removal grew out of report made by
the commission on appointments under the
postoffice department. Commissioners Ly-
man and Roosevelt made the ruling and
reports, to which Mr.. Johnston took ex-
captions. He submitted a minority report,
which be desired to make public, and it is
understood that to this the other commits
sioners objected. The matter being carried
to the president, the majority was sus-
tanned and the minority report ordered sup
pressed. On Saturday Mr.. Johnston's
resignation was called for which he refused
to tender. and the president removed him.
