Cab Drivers Strike.

LONDON, May 17.-About 5000 cab
drivers of this city went out on strike
yesterday as protest against the ex-
orbitant charges for cab hire insisted
upon by the owners of the cabs. The
public is suffering but little in conse-

day, marched in procession to Hyde
park. Eighty of the small cab owners
have already conceded the terms de-
manded by the drivers The strike was
chiefly directed against the Cab Own
ers' association, which includes the
largest owners of cabs. The latter re.

DUTIES ON SUGAR.
Tariff Managers I'm the House Will Take No
Action at Present.


Action at Present.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The tariff
managers of the house have determined
to take further steps toward offsetting
the tariff increases in sugar and other
tariff amendments to appropriation
bills. The purpose had been to amend
the legislative appropriation by pro-
vision making sugar free.
Representative Breckenridge. of Ar
kansas. of the ways and means COM
mittee, recently proposed a new reso-
luton permitting tariff amendments to
appropriation bills. Chairman Savers,
of the appropriation committee, and
Representative Carey, of Texas. intro
duced similar bills. These various
rules went to the committee on rules
where they have not been acted on.
lative appropriation bill was called up
yesterday, and it will be passed with
out any tariff riders.
In deciding on this course the tariff
leaders in the house concluded it would
be unwise to take any step which
might embarrass the tariff bill as a
whole in the senate. They say. how
ever. that the introduction of the
Breckenridge rule had the effect of in
fiuencing the Louisiana sugar conven-
ton to take conservative action. Hav-
ing accomplished this much the house
leaders do not think it advisable to
openly recontest on sugar until the
senate gets further along on the bill.
This conclusion applies to sugar du-
ties. but not to the bounty. 1t is said
abolition of the bounty may be done
without a new rule. as it is the privi-
lege OF any member to offer bounty
amendment.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Obstacles to the Improvement to Busi-
ness Do Not Lessen-Failures.

NEW YORK. May 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The obstacles to improvement do not lessen.
The strikes of coal miners and coke workers
have not ceased. but have caused the stoppage
of numerous works this week. and embarraSs-
ment to some railroads. The conference at
Cleveland exhibited much angry feeling and
wider differences than had been expected, and
seems to render agreement more distant.
Proceedings in the senate do not indicate
that the latest form OF tariff revision has made
speedy final action probable. Yet the recuper-
alive ability of the country is so great that the
volume OF business transacted is large, and
seems surprisingly so under the circumstances,
Notwithstanding influences which in any other
land would cause dire disaster.
Wheat sold at So cents for May and SIX
cents for July, though western receipts have
been only l.2l5.5i3 bushels for the week,
against e,S13036 last year. Exports were but
791 20. against 2.0e016i bushels last year. and
the fact that gold goes instead of wheat at 81
cents, or cotton at 57.19 cents. has more weight
than the rapidly Frightening prospects Of yield
next fall.
The soundneSS of the commercial world is
shown in the diminished Importance Of failures,
the liabilities reported for the second week of
May amounting to only si.53I,53 OF which
81 40 932 were Of trading and si32 500 of manu-
featuring concerns.
The failures this week have been go in the
United States. against 2f7 last year, and II in
Canada, against II last year.

LAKE STORM.
Several Vessels and More Than n Dozen
Lives Lost on Lake Michigan.


CHICAGO, May 19.-The storm which
yesterday swept Lake Michigan was
the most disastrous of recent years.
Eight vessels were driven ashore within
the city limits of Chicago and out of
their crews ten men are known to be
drowned and in every instance boat
and cargo are utterly lost. One schoon-
er, the Myrtle, was wrecked just out
side the government pier, within half a
mile of Michigan boulevard, and six
men of her crew went down to death
in plain view of the hundreds of people
who lined the boulevard walks, or
watched the awful storm from the
windows of the big hotels which over
look the harbor. The wrecks extended
from Glencoe on the north. where the
Lincoln Dali went to pieces, to South
Chicago, an air line distance of forty
miles.
One of the most exciting features Of
the storm was the Imprisonment Of
twenty-seven men who were working
IN the waterworks crib off Lakeview.
one mile from shore. Their only shell
ter was timber tower erected on the
CRIB and until that was washed away
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
men were not believed to be in any
danger. 1t was a close question for
them. however, after that time, as the
water went over the crib again and
again in binding sheets. They will
probably be rescued to-day.
SIX LIVES LOST.
MILWAUKEE, May ia fierce gale

yesterday morning the schooner NJ j.
Cummings, grain laden from Chicago,
foundered just south of the harbor
piers, and five men and a woman per-
ished before the life-saving crew which
went to their assistance could reach
them. The life-saving crew, after a
hard battle with the waves, succeeded
in rescuing the remainder of those on
board

Sanders ARMY Held.

LEAvENwoRTH. Kan. May 17.-Gen.
Sanders and his army of commonweal-
ers will have to stand trial in the fed
eral court on a charge of obstructing
the United States mails. Commits
sioner Wagner yesterday decided that
there was probable cause for the action
against the defendants. and bound them
all over Gen. Sanders bond was fixed at
$500. The bond of the other officers
and of the common soldiers was fixed
at 500 each. District Attorney Perry
granted permission to Gen. Sanders to
accompany his attorneys to Topeka,
where it is claimed that he will be able
to furnish bond. The rest of the army
was committed to the care of Marshal
Neely. 1t is not likely that any effort
will be made to secure bond for them.
