Unusual Step Taken by Northern
Pacific Receivers.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec. 26.-The re-
ceivers of the Northern Pacific, preparing
for a strike of all their employees, applied to
Judge Jenkins. of the United States Court,
some time ago, for an order restraining
them from declaring an instantaneous
strike and doing any damage to the prop
erty and interfering with the operations of
the road. The receivers had ordered a gen.
eral reduction in wages from 5 to s per
cent. The employees objected. Negotiations
between Representatives of the employees
and the receivers were in progress for three
weeks To-day the negotiations were broken
off, and the strike being imminent, the re-
ceivers have decided to make the of
the injunction issued by Judge Jenkins,
which. they hope, will enable them to op-
crate the road Immediately with new men.
The legal document now in the hands of the
receivers comprises nearly ten thousand
words. The injunctional order will be served
tonight and tomorrow on all the leaders
of the Northern Pacific railroad employees

which the New York was made ready for

the conclusion that the Secretary OF the

great urgency. He said this morning that
no destination had been fixed for the Mian-

she also will go to Rio as soon as she Is In

a fear of confusion in the Brazilian govern
ment and consequent danger from violence
is what has caused the centering Of a for
midable naval force at Rio.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga man giving his
name as Timothy Kane, aged thirty-flve
years. of No. 1776 Third avenue, called this
morning at the East One-hundred-and-
fourth-street police station. He announced
that he was going to kill the Rev. DR..

liceInen TO accompany him and arrest him
after the deed. After a hard struggle
Kane was overpowered and locked up. An
examination as to his sanity VIII be made.
Parkhurst has opened his batteries again

A SHIPWRECK ED CREW
Four Days on the Rocks with
Scant Food and Clothing.
Saved from a Reef-Fast Schooner by
One of the Sailors Who Swan
Through Shark-Infested Waters.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Four days on the
rocks with scanty clothing and scantier
food, drenched by the spray from the waves
which We're rapidly beating their schooner
to pieces a couple of ships lengths away.
Such is the story of shipwreck and Iriva-
ton told by the six men who formed the
crew of the schooner Milford, which sailed
from Mobile to Kingston, Jamaica, on Nov.
IS. The steamship Neptune to-day arrived
with five Of the crew. The men are: Laurits
Larsen, John Svenson, Axel Dahl, John
Ceasser, and the steward, an American,
whose name was unknown to the rest of
the survivors. Captain Weld remained be-
hind at Green Island to look after what is
left Of the wreck and cargo.
The Milford was three-masted schooner
of 300 TONS She arrived off Salt creek Dec.
3. She was then about eight miles from
Green Island. the nearest harbor That
night the vessel encountered a heavy sQuall
which became a gale, and in half an hour
the Milford was pounding the edge Of a
reef. The crew lowered the only boat they
had. but were forced to return to the
schooner they could not reach the shore
through the heavy surf. AS they hUisted
the boat to the davits heavy sea smashed
1t to splinters and the men were dashed
about the deck. Svensen was severely in
jured on the right shoulder Shortly after
ward the vessel sprang leak, and IL
soon became evident that she would go TO
pieces. With the appearance Of daylight
the crew had a chance TO see what were the
best means of saving themselves. Larsen
decided to try and swim to the rocks near
by. The water was infested with sharks,
but he plunged into the waves and reached
, the rocks in safety: He made fast the end
of a line and then the work OF getting other
men ashore began. They all made the dan
gerous passage in safety They brought
some food and water ashore but only just
enough to keep them from dying of starva-
ton The crew remained on the rocks until
the following Thursday. They were without
any kind of shelter. The storm had abated
by Thursday afternoon and the natives
came out in a canoe and took them ashore.
