WHAT effect the boycott on the
Pullman cars will have in the settle
ment of the great strike we are unable
to say, but from the stand the com
pany has taken it is apparent that
the settlement is long way off. It's
a pity that the differences should not
be settled by arbitration. 1t was
thought that when the Great North
ern railway strike was settled by ar
bitration it paved the way for just
and impartial mode of settlement,
but from the utter disregard for pub
lie sentiment shown by the Pullman
company,ft is evident that they want
to fight it to a finish.

BARTLETT G. co. FAIL
Big Warehouse Firm Forced to
Make an Assignment.
Liabilities May Reach Several Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.
No Preferences Named and the
Assets Not Known.

Albert c. Woodruff, Of 3s South Ok
ford street. Brooklyn. and Henry A.
Niche. Of AZ Lefferts place, Brooklyn,
the surviving partners of the late Il.
b. Bartlett and comprising the firm Of
Edward b. Bartlett & Co. who conduct
a storage business at 5 Hanover street,
made an assignment to-day to William
w. Goodrich. of 1924 President street,
Brooklyn.
There are no preferences.
A transcript of the assignment was
filed with the County Clerk of Kings
County, in Brooklyn, at l2.15 p. NJ.
Bartlett & Co. and the Union Ware
house Company are practically one and
the same concern. They are lessees of
the mammoth stores along the Brook
Ign waterfront known as Watson
Stores. Roberts Stores, Bartletts Stores,
Prentiss Stores. German-American
Stores. Anglo-American Stores and Mer-
chants stores.
w. w. Goodrich, the assignee. Is a
member of the law firm of Goodrich,
Deadly & Goodrich, of SO Wall street.
He said to an Evening World" re-
porter that the liabilities would exceed
several hundred thousand dollars, but
that 1t would be impossible to attempt
to form an estimate.
He was equally at sea regarding the
assets. He was having a statement pre-
pared and would probably arrive at the
exact condition OF affairs tomorrow.
THE assignment was precipitated by
he death of Mr.. Bartlett. which &C.
-urred c, 'Lple of weeks ago. He was
the financial head Of the house." said
Mr.. Goodrich.
Il shall call a meeting OF creditors
early in the week and see just what can
be done. 1t would be a great pity 10 al
low the firm to go under as they are
doing an excellent business
When the Empire Warehouse Com
pany dissolved a little over a year ago,
Bartlett & Co. formed the Union Ware
house Company. and took up a number
of the leases held b ythe Empire Com
pany. as well as making new ones.
The firm is probably known in every
city in the world that can boast of
shipping facilities. It's holdings COM
prise nearly all the Brooklyn water
front from Fulton TO Atlantic ferries.
When the will of Mr.. Bartlett was
filed recently there was much surprise
evinced over the small personal estate
he left. All his property was willed
to his widow.
The warehouse mans wealth had been
estimated all the way from $4,000 OO to
100000, but his will showed that his
personal property amounted to less than
100000, and made no mention of any
real estate.
The failure Of the big firm. which was
Familiarity known as 1.-THE Warehouse
Trust" gave rise to-day to belief
that its troubles had been of long
standing. and that they were. in a
measure, responsible for Mr.. Bartlett $
death.
Mr.. Bartlett died only a few weeks
ago. very suddenly, from the effects OF
stroke of apoplexy a day or two be-
