UNCLE SANS SIDE.
A Nice Point at Issue in Case OF
a Long Strike.

The effect on the mail system be-
tween the cities of st. Paul and Mime
apolis would result in considerable
Inconvenience through 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 i'll 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 i'll
reference than refusal to work. and
would make it unwlse 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

CURED Sunday. This is obvious. Had
it been a 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.
or 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.
III 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 th0Street 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

they found all they cared to do in pro-

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 accommodate
tons 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 a turnout to
be secured at any stable. One liveryman
stated last evening that had he hun

One result of the lack of facilities i'm

This is reasonable to suppose, for the

But this condition was different in the
more fashionable churches, where there

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 I'M
earthly hour of 4:30 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. if nee
eSSary.
Att o'clock in the morning three con-
ductors, committee from the strikers,
called at the power house to see Gen
eral Manager Held. They waited until
Z o'clock, but no one came, and they
quietly departed. No other striker APP
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 tis-
up. Both were absolutely non.com-
initial as to the plans of the company.

EXTRACTION FEES.
The Matter Discussed by the Can
adian Minister.

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
R0sewig. There was a 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 a
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 tx
penSe either in the United States or
Canada as the case may be.

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 u prove
to their Elm 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-
tiOns even more damaging to the street
car employees. The st. Paul operatives
had no special grievance, they con-
cede, but went out in order TO give back
bone to the Minneapolis movement.
When the announcement was received
by the st. Paul men that the Mmneapo-
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 a 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, libatlOnS 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 Interior 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 mad experienced for over year.
He added that he had at no time enter
tanned doubt OF 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 caYalierly after inducing them to
join the strike, then going back 10 work
without notifying them.
1t was quite too bad that Mayor
Wright and Chief Garyin CHANGED 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.

care to discuss the strike. he ventured
the opinion that it was a 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

The meeting which accomplished the

OF the men we're worked up almost to a
dangerous state of mind. and had it not
been for the cOol-headed reasoning of
several of the men present. and the
strategy displayed by Mayor Eustis at
the crises, the strike might have gone to
a serious conclusion. AS it was, the
escape was narrow one. The meeting
was held at hall on the East side. and
those present were Mayor Eustis. Supt.
Held, Vice President Z. G.. Goodrich,
and committee of about dozen from
the carmen and several employees from
st. Paul.
The committee of street railroad men
announced to the representatives of the
company that they would not man
car until the contract was reScinded,
and that no man be asked to sign il. 1t
was minated that the strike might last
for months before the men would give
IN. 10 this the vice president replied
that the street railroad company had
conferred, and that they had decided to
grant the request of the men. In other
words, the contracts over which the

Mr.. Goodrich farther stated that the
contracts were only intended for the
general benefit of the service, and
were not calculated to work an injury
upon any one.
Mayor Eustis then made a ringing
speech to the committee and the men
present, in which he urged them, mas
much as they had accomplished. their
aim, to 90 at once to work and abate the
general excitement which was ferment
ing, and which might cause serious
trouble. All seemed settled, yet the
men did not stir. No one wanted to
make the first move, although they had
secured every concession asked. There
was moments silence, which Mayor
EuStis, from his position on the plat
form, plainly saw might have bad re-
suits it not ended, 80 he rose to his feet
and shouted few enthusiastic remarks
to the men upon the successful termina-
ton of the trouble. "Now, hurrah for
the first car" exclaimed the mayor,
setting the example. The effect was
electrical, and every man in the room
gave whoop, and was out upon the
street. No farther time was lost, and
the news of the settlement of the trouble
was quickly sent to the different power
houses. The men at once repaired to
their various districts, and the work of
again taking out the cars was carried
speedily on.

IRON RIVER SUFFERS.
A LAUNDERING Town Likely to Be
Wholly DESTROYED.

ASHLAND, Wis, June 18.-Iron
River, a numbering town of 1000 people,
is in flames and likely to be entirely de-
stroyed. The ire caught from the forest
fires, destroying the new school house
and two churches. The fire started
at o'clock and by the entire residence
portion was in flames. Help was asked,
and a detachment of the fire depart
ment was sent from Ashland. Several
people have been brought to Ashland
who were badly burned. Forest"fires
are raging all through Northern Wis
cOnsin, and Washburn is in danger.
Millions of feet of standing pine are in
danger. A bad fire is reported at North
York, but no details can be obtained.
Iron River was almost destroyed by
forest fires two years ago.
