Employees of the Adams Company Are
Likely to Strike. -
NEW YORK, May 5.-The Herald
says: The initial step has been taken
by employees Of the Adams Express
company in strike that may possibly
affect the 10000 men employed by the
corporation. The trouble is attributed
by the men to President Weir, who
has. they say, largely reduced the work
ing force, and cut down wages, but
failed to curtail working hours.
Another innovation was made Sun
day night when the drivers, freight
handlers and helpers were compelled to
furnish bonds for $500 each. The bonds
were handed to the employees to sign.
Some of the men refused to comply
with the request. The employees Of the
company were compelled to sign an
agreement several weeks ago, whereby
they released the express company
from all liability in case they were in.

painful duty to pass sentence upon the
prisoners who had pleaded guilty OF
high treason, but that he supposed the
executive will show the same clemency
it had exhibited during the crisis that
marked the beginning OF the year.
Then, amid the most intense, painful
silence throughout the court room. the
Judge passed the sentence Of death, in
divldually, upon Lionel Phillips, pres
ident of the chamber Of mines OF Jo-
hannesburg; George Farrar, proprietor
and publisher Of Country Life OF Jo-
hannesburg; Colonel Francis Rhodes,
brother Of the Hon. Cecil Rhodes, and
John Hayes Hammond, the American

and to pay fine Of $4,000, in default
of which they will undergo another

The news of the sentences was re-
ceived with the greatest amazement
here, at Johannesburg and even at Pre-

ment everywhere, even though it was
generally understood that the four men
sentenced would not be executed.

Coming Contest at st. Louis.
New YORK, May AIN commune
cation to The Commercial Advertiser
on the outlook for the Republican
presidential nomination, the Hon.
Joseph H. Manley of Augusta, Me-.
says: "Any speculation to the effect
that friends of Speaker Reed mean to
withdraw him from the contest. or that
they are discouraged, is baseless. There
has never been q single instant during
the campaign when we ever dreamed
of such thing. Mckinley will never
be nominated. It will be the issue that
will win at st. Louis. That issue will
be sound money"
Ex- Senator T. G. Platt says: II am
Of opin on that Mckinley has not cap
tured enough votes to be nominated.
but am not prepared to disprove the
figures Of his managers yet. / expect
to have something to say later on.

People Homeless and Supply Of Food
Limited.
CRIpPLE CREEK, Colo, April S0.-
Last Saturdays horrors were repeated
threefold in the destruction by a second
fire during the afternoon. To an in
creased amount Of property destroyed
on Saturday the fire adds the loss OF
life and leaves 5000 or 1000 people
homeless in city of desolation with
no place to sleep and no food to supply
their daily wants. Now, indeed, is
this city in ashes. The business por-
ton Of the city left standing is less
than would cover city block. The
residence section is confined to what
were formerly the suburbs on the
placers Of east and west old town to
the northeast and portion Of Capitol
Hill on the south.
When the alarm was sounded from
the Portland hotel at l:S5 p. m. 1t was
quickly responded to, notwithstanding
that the fremen and the people
Were Thoroughly Exhausted
By the work Of Saturday and the ten.
sion under which they had lived since.
The firemen fought feebly for q few
moments with few streams Of water
In an attempt to put out the fire. The
wind was blowing almost due north
and in its track lay the heart of the
business section. All the water turned
upon the flames had no appreciable
effect. The disaster of Saturday was
fresh in the minds Of all, and the first
inclination was to remove everything
possible beyond the reach OF the rap
idly increasing flames. Wagons darted
through the mobs of yelling men and
hysterical women. Bennett avenue
became. again mob of crazed men who

the flre had spread to the west on
