SUPPORT FOR Mr.. HILL.
Chicago Roads rave Pledged This to
the Great Northern.

the 0reaC NOTCncrns
Chicago, Nov. AL railroads hav-
ing headquarters in Chicago have
given positive assurances to President
Hill, of the Great Northern, that, SO
far as lies in their power, they will CO.
operate with him in defeating the
American Railway Union strike now
threatened on his road. The informa-
ton came today from officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Burlington, the Illinois Central and
the Chicago & Eastern Illionis sys-
TENS. This support of the Great
Northern is an outgrowth of the plan
pursued by the general managers of
Chicago when they were dealing with
the stike of last year.
Mr.. Hill has engaged a detective
agency to furnish him armed guards,
and advised the Chicago railroad man
ayers that his road would employ any
railroad man out of work who had not
committed an act of violence in Chi
cago or elsewhere against road dur
ing the strike of 1894. There are
1900 of these men in Chicago, at pres
ent, whose names were on the payrolls
of the railroad up to July, 1894. They
include engineers, firemen, brakemen
and fagmen. While they have been
''blacklisted'' for nearly eighteen
months, no charge has rested against
them but of having simply quit work
when the strike began. At II Monroe
street these men were being engaged
today and furnished transportation to
st. Paul.

For the Chinese Trade.

Tacoma, Nov. 6.-Shipping men say
the San Francisco lines will not win
the trans-P Pacific Chinese passenger
trade by fitting out the steamship
Evandale to carry Chinese exclusively.
One of them says:
1.-THE Northern lines have secured a
good hold on the trans Pacific business.
The San Francisco lines cannot COM
pete with the Northern Pacific line.
The Northern Pacific line has much
shorter route. It runs regular steam
ers at much less expense than the San
Francisco companies can operate theirs.
The Evandale has no side windows,
and all the light to be had will have
to come through the matches. The
steamer would have to be rugged up
with rough board hunks to make q
profit on the trade, and the cute Chi
nese would not patronize that kind OF
an arrangement"

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
Threatened by the American
Railway Union.
ON GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY
Trouble Is Reported at Different FONTS
Along the Line From Mime
sofa to Washington.

st. Paul, Nov. Elm the great strike
of the American Railway Union ON the
Great Northern railway eighteen
months ago, the start was almost ex.
actly similar to what is claimed to be
new strike at this time. Then, as
now, the officials of the road united,
up to the time when the road was final.
~ tied up, in asserting that there was
no strike and no cause for one. Then,
as now, the men went out at various
points along the line in a somewhat
scattering manner. Just what may be
the outcome, it is difficult to say, but
that there will be at least some trouble
seems now assured in view of reports
from along the line today. In favor of
the company syas the action of the en-
gineers and fremen on the Montana
Central, fifty-six out of sixty on that
branch voting in favor of communi-
cation to the Great Northern officials
that they had no grievance and that
they protested against any new schedule
in which the American Railway Union
was concerned.
The conductors of the entire system
are acting today in line with the COM
pany, their vote being taken almost
without opposition in favor of some
what similar statement to be presented
to the officials. 1t is stated that other
brotherhoods are about to take similar
action. In the way of trouble, three
Or four went out at st. Cloud, but
trains are in no way affected. At that
point, it was thought necessary to
place watchmen on the new bridge for
protection.
At DEVILS Lake, it was reported to-
night that it had been decided to strike
at midnight. As that was one of the
points where there was trouble of a
somewhat riotous character in the for
mer strike, the city council met there
today and decided to do all in its power
to protect the property of the railroad
and to suppress any incipient riots.
Out in Montana, trouble was report
ed at several points. At Havre, the
wires were cut and orders for three
divisions that center there were inter-
fered with. 1t is understood several
arrests followed, though no definite in
formation can be given. At Columbia
Falls, near Kalispell, an unsuccessful
attempt was made to burn the Great
Northern bridge.
A meeting of the st. Paul American
Railway Union lodge was held tonight
and large number Of new members
admitted, but it is not known what
action, if any, was taken on the threat
ened strike situation.

The Powers Ready to A ct.

Rome, Nov. IA dispatch received
from Constantinople says that owing
to the recurring disturbances in vari-
Gus parts of the Turkish empire, the
ambassadors of the powers went to the
porte separately today and urged that
immediate measures for the restoration
of order be taken, declaring that other
wise the powers acting in concert
would take their own steps in the mat
ter. 1t is added that the ambassadors
also requested the Turkish min
lister for foreign affairs to state what
the porte intends to do to terminate
the present state of anarchy.

GACDAUR AGAIN WON
The Canadian Still Champion
of the Aquatic World.
THE EXCITEMENT WAS INTENSE
ruoIand's Crew, However, Won the
Four-Oared Race, Thus Taking
All other Important Events.

All other Important Events.
Austin. Tex, Nov. 9.-Jake Gaud-
our is still champion of the aquatic
world. The contest was over IL
mile course, and the trophies were the
championship challenge cup and a
nurse Of 81 ,OO0. The starters were Blu.
bear and Haines, of England; Jake
G8udaur and Ras Rogers, of America.
Before the quarter flags were reached
Oh the upper course, Haines quit the
race, and Bubear also dropped out ten
boat lengths below the p mile flag,
leaving Gaudaur and Rogers to fin
ISL the race. Gaudaur, with five boat
lengths ahead, came down the course
under an easy thirty-one stroke and
won the race in 20:59.
The Englishmen dropped off in the
first race, saving themselves for the
great four-oared race which followed
the single scull. This race was over
the l - mile course, with turn-three
miles-for the championship of the
world and a purse of $1,000. The
starters were:
Bubear, Barry, Haines and Win
gate, for England. and Teemer, Rog-
ers, Charley and Jake Gaudaur for
America.
As the crews lined up the excite
ment was intense. Betting had been
running heavy on these two teams for
the past week, until upwards of So,
600 was in the booksellers hands to-
day when the flag dropped to start the
race.
AS the flag dropped, both crews
dropped their oars. The English crew
gained the lead and kept it up the
course for about three boat lengths,
though the American crew closed the
gap somewhere near the y mile flag.
The English team turned first, and on
the return course, at the three-quarters
flag, they were leading by five boat
lengths. The Americans spurted at
the half flag for five lengths only,
when they gave out. From there to the
finish line the English crew had three
lengths lead, and the two boats passed
over the line in that position; time,
l7:0216.
The winning of this race by the En-
glish crew reaccords them all impor'
tant laurels at the regatta outside OF
the single-skull race. This concluded
the regatta.

Republican Plurality in Boston.

Boston, Nov. 8.-The smoke of the
political battle has cleared away, and
tonight the leaders of both parties are
discussing the result, and from it are
already forming plans for next years
work. The Republican leaders are
particularly pleased over the gains Of
Governor Greenhalge in this city, for
they claim it shows that. slowly but
surely, the people are coming over to
their ranks. The Democrats, on the
other hand, say they attach no signifi-
canoe to the decreased Democratic
plurality in the city other than that
their candidate was not personally as
popular as Russell, the candidate of
1898, and for proof of the assertion
point to the fact that the Democracy
gained senator in Suffolk county,
which is practically Boston.
The figures Of the Associated Press
last night placed the plurality con-
servatively at little over 63, and
all of their returns have justified that
estimate.
The size of the Populist vote in Mas
sachusetts will probably be known to-
morrow. There are indications that
there is falling off. The question of
woman suffrage has been lost sight Of.
except by those directly interested, but
the suffragists claim they are encour-
aged, as the vote against them was
smaller than they anticipated.

London, Nov. 8.-The Times this
morning gives over column to New
York dispatch regarding the election.
The other papers have short dispatches
on the subject of the Marlborough Van
derbilt wedding. The Times says OF
the elections:
1.-THE elections have again surprised
American politicians. The Republic
cans were victorious beyond all expec-
tations. The failure to break Tam
many is discouraging. Such is the state
of American politics, in the absence OF
any great issue, that it is impossible to
uredict the re suit of the presidential
election. Perhaps the Democrats have
the most cause to regret the success OF
Tammany, for some Of Tammany' e
moral discredit is bound to fall upon
the Democratic party"
The Daily News says: 1.-The elec-
tions are showing remarkably in favor
of the Republicans, and the presiden'
tial seat is all but safe for the Republi'
can candidate.
The Chronicle (liberaD says: ut IL
not quite clear that there is no real
Democratic revival. We regret, but
