DOCK LABORERS STRIKE.
No Signs of the Differences Being
Adjusted.

HAMBURG, Nov. 24.-The strike OF
the dock laborers and others employed
in the shipping trade continues, and
some of the ship owners and consignees
are finding it difficult to get their yes
sells loaded or discharged. The Ham
burg American Line has advised in
tending shippers by their steamships TO
send their goods by way of Bremen,
Antwerp or Rotterdam. The compa-
MES in those places, which belong to
the Atlantic Steamship Association,
have undertaken to carry out all the
contracts entered upon by the Ham.
burg American Company. Similar ar
rangements will be made in regard to
passenger traffic.
There is no signs as yet of the diffe1-
ences between the shipping men and
their employees being adjusted. The
employers are firm in their refusal to
grant the demands of the men, and the
latter are equally as firm in their at

cede to their terms. The movement

THE PACIFIC CABLE.
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE AT
HONOLULU.
The Hawaiian Government Refuses to
the American Company.

HONOLULU, Nov. IS, (To the
United Associated Presses, per S. S.
City of Peking).-A number of repre-
sentative citizens We're called to meet
the Executive in the Presidents
room on the morning of the 14th in or
der to obtain an expression of opinion
upon the expediency of extending the
terms OF the able franchise which was
granted last year to Colonel u. S. Spald-
ing and by him transferred to the Pa
cific Cable Company of New Jersey. of
which Spalding is President, and which
organization embraces such capitalists
as d. O. Mills, Abram Hewitt and Mr..
Hall of the Northern Pacific Railway.
Acknowledgement Smith read the out
line of the new contract proposed by
the Pacific Gable Company. Mr.. Spald-
ing's present exclusive franchise for
landing a cable from North America on
these islands will not expire until May
next for the completion of the financial
arrangements. He asks for no extension
of that time. But he wants a new con-
tract for an exclusive privilege to land
cables in Hawaii connecting with Japan
and Australia. He wants an extension
of two years in which to obtain sub
sidy of S160,OO a year each from the
Governments Of Japan and Australia.
He also wants three years additional
time in which to lay the proposed
cables. AS an inducement for granting
these franchises Colonel Spalding will
take up 1915, 900 of Hawaiian Govern
rnent bonds at 4 per cent of the pro-
posed new issue for refunding the Gov
eminent debt He viii make one-third
Of that amount a guarantee for each
of three things-a cable to Japan,
cable to Australia and an inter-island
eable-in return for an exclusive fran
chise OF twenty years for operating
such cables. He will guarantee to lay
the inter-island cable within one year.
He asks no subsidy from Hawaii, but
expects exemption from taxation, navi-
CATION and landing fees, ETC., as in the
present franchise.
John w. Foster spoke as the rep
resentative of the Pacific Cable Com
pany. in whose interest he was visiting
Honolulu. Colonel Spalding, through his
arduous work in Congress, had done a
great deal in advancing the prospect of
carly success. The line to Japan would
cost not less than 81, 10000, and it
would be unreasonable to expect men
to assume the task without some show
of returns to guarantee such great
outlay of capital
A long discussion followed. at the
close of which President Dole thanked
the gentlemen for their attendance and
intimated that he might again call
them together But Mr.. Foster was no
tilted yesterday that the Government
was unable to comply with Colonel
Spaldings request.
News of Mckinley's election came
last night by the Picking. General sat
isfaction was expressed.

RUSSO CHINESE TREATY.
GRANTING CONCESSIONS TO THE
FORMER GOVERNMENT.
Can Build Railroads Through Chinese
Territory, and Given Every Fa-
cility to Trade and Travel.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24-The fol-
lowing correspondence of the United
Associated Presses. under date of To-
kio, Japan, November 18th, was received
to-day per steamer City of Pekin:
1t is positiv aly stated that immedi-
ately before the departure of the Rus
sian representative, Count Cassini,
from Pekin, September Both, he sue
ceeded in concluding with the Chinese
Government a convention of great i'm
portance.
The document sets out by declaring
that the concessions made in it are by
way of evincing ChinaS gratitude for
the aid accorded by Russia at the close
of the war between the former power
and Japan. 1t gives Russian the right
to carry her transsiberian railway to
klr1n from two points, namely, west
ward from some station in Siberia and
eastward from Vladivostock. 1t pro-
yides that the Chinese system of rail-
roads is to be brought into connection
with the Russian, to which end, should
China find it inconvenent to construct
her contemplated lines from Kirin to
Shanhaikuan and Port Arthur, she may
delegate the task to Russia.
1t commissions Russia to provide for
the security of any lines built by/her
in Chinese territory by stationing
troops along their route. 1t provides
that lines forming part of the Russian
system, but running through Chinese
territory, shall be purchaseable by
China after a period of thirty years,
and that lines forming part of the Chi
nese system, but built by Russia at
China's request, shall be purchaseable
by China after a period of ten years.
1t comedies to Russians the privilege
of working mines in Manchuria. 1t
states that Russian officers shall be
employed to drill China's Manchurian
levies. 1t leases to Russia the port of
Kiauchou, and promises that, on emer-
gency. she shall have the use of Port
Arthur and Talien. and it engages that
every facility shall be given to Russian
trade and travel.
The new commercial treaty between
China and Japan embodies all the priv
ileges hitherto enjoyed by subjects or
citizens Of Western Powers in China
under whatsoever treaty or convention
obtained. It also secures to Japan the
customs tariff now in force, so that
China cannot by special arrangement
with Western States make any change
to which Japan is not a consenting
party.

HURRAHED FOR BRYAN.
A Kansas City nan Fatally Shot by a
Negro.

KANSAS CITY (Mo), Nov. 24.-That
all the election excitement is not over
in this part of the country was shown
this morning by a fatal shooting affair
that took place in the street. X. Law
renee Schobel, unfortunately for him
self, thought that matters had Quoted
down and found that he was mistaken.
Schobel was passing along Nineteenth
street this morning when he saw a
group of negroes engaged in noisy
political discussion. In bantering way,
as he passed them, he shouted, "Hur-
rah for Bryan"
The response was more rapid and en-
ergetic than he had expected. Several
of the negroes angrily answered him,
and one drew pistol and shot at him.
The ball struck him in the stomach.
He fell to the sidewalk and the negroes,
frightened at what they had done, ran
away.
Help was summoned and Schobel was
taken to j hospital. The doctors say
that he cannot live.
The negro who red the fatal shot has
not yet been found, but the police say
that where there We're SO many wit
neSSes he cannot ecape.

now so dense that it was hard to move
one way or the other. The police were
powerless. Truly Mr.. Bryan was in the
hands of his friends. Then one officer
pointed to the foot of the hill, others ala
the same, and the crowd that could
See but not hear thinking that the car
rIage would descend the hill, swept
down it like an avalanche. This mace

down Logan avenue.
At Seventeenth and Broadway, at the
confluence of Seventeenth avenue and
Court place and Seventeenth str ct ana
Broadway, another big GROVE enough
to populate city, was wa ar sald Tor
the want of anything better do was
cheering because they knew BIZ. Bryan
was coming. Only a few words were
spoken here, and then heAwas driven
back to the Thomas home, where dinner
was served.
AT 1870 o'clock the doors of the First
Presbyterian Church were opened. 1t
was the original intention to have Mr..
Bryan speak for a lecture course and
tickets were sold. When he came in
the management agreed to waive its
rights if the few ticket holders should
be guaranteed. and the church was
opened to all. 1t was filled to the doors,
while others clamored outside for adj
mission. Mr. Bryan spoke for three
quarters of an hour This is the ami
versary of the admission of Colorado to
the sisterhood of States, and his theme
was Colorado" The word was en-
twined in flowers on the altar, and the
significant figures "1S76-1S96" on either
side hn hIil tod i'm
flowers. His remarks were appropri-
ate to the occasion as dealing with the
progress of the State.
Outside an excited crowd of people
extended to the Brown Hotel, where the
Chamber of Commerce banquet was to
take place, and those assembled there
knew every time Mr.. Bryan made a.
telling point in the church by the
cheers that came from inside the edi-
flee, which We're caught up by the
crowds and carried down the streets as
ii travelling over a telephone wire
1t was o'clock when Mr.. Bryan
reached the Brown Hotel The ban
quet-room was crowded awaiting the
appearance of the guest of the year.
When he appeared he was greeted with
generous applause. Rev Myron w.

Who Proceed at Once to Hold Up the
Passengers
Before Completing Their Work the
Robbers, Frightened by the Shouts
for Help by the Occupants, Leap
From the Car and Make Their
Escape The HOld-Up Occurs at
$50 in the Morning i'm the Heart
of the Retail Section of the City.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-One of the most
daring crimes known in the annals OF
this city was committed to-day and the
bold desperadoes who perpetrated it
have SO far been able to elude the Wig
ilance Of the police. The audacity of
the offense has taken the city by storm
and unless the police catch the GRIMM
ais it is very likely the citizens will de-
mand a shaking up of the whole force.
The scene of the crime was in the heart
of the retail section of the City.
A State-Street cable car was proceed
ing along the street at $50 this morn
ing, when several men who We're stand
ing ON a corner motioned to the con-
ductor to stop. He did SO, and the two
men boarded the car. AS it moved
away three other men who were stand
ing on the opposite side of the street
jumped on the front part of the car.
Fare pease," said the conductor to
the first two men who We're standing on
the rear platform.
Get out" said one of them and, MAX
ing a signal to the three men in front,
he quickly entered the car.
His companion planted himself in the
doorway and prevented the conductor
from entering.
From the other end of the car two
men entered, and the third blocked the
entrance
The car was crowded at the time, and
when the three men threw themselves
on l.. G. Barber, a passenger, there was
great confusion, and several shouted
throw them off"
At first it looked like a fight. The
passengers, however, were soon unde-
ceived. Barber made a stout resistance,
but two men held him while a third
went through his pockets. He secured
a watch and small sum of money. An
other passenger was treated to the same
experience as Barber.
By this time every ONE in the car was
UP and making "a noise. Several opened
the windows and shouted, Help! help!"
while few crreu, "Rabbers!"
The car was moving all the time, as
the conductor was badly ratified. FL
nally he pulled himself together and
gave the signal for quick stop.
AS soon as the car stopped the rob
bers leaped from it and disappeared
down a side street. Two policemen and
a few passengers followed them, but to
no purpose.
The Chief of Police has notified every
policeman in Chicago, and a persistent
search is being made for the daring
thieves.
ANOTHER HOLD-UP.
CHICAGO, Nov. Fisherman &
Waters saloon, at 619 Lake street, was
held UP by two men this morning and
the cash register robbed of it's con-
tents-S2O. The men escaped.

TRAGEDY AT INDIANAPOLIS.
A rlan Kills the Woman He Had Be-
trayed, and Then Himself.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 24.-At an
early hour this morning the bodies of a
man and woman were found lying on
the ground IN front of a vacant house
in DOWney street. Each body lay in a
pool of CONCEALED blood, and a revolver
lying close beside the man, showed how
the tragedy had occurred.
From letters found on the man it was
ascertained that his name was Herman
Meyers. The woman was Nora A.
Richardson. The letters told the old
story of mans duplicity and woman's
trustfulness and frailty, Snd indicated
how the tragical end haA come to pass.
There could be no doubt from the let
ters that Meyers had betrayed the girl
under promise of marriage, and that
she was soon to became a mother He
had evidently refused to keep his prom
Use. The letter showed how she had
begged him to save her reputation, and
how he had refused to marry her.
1t is supposed that she followed him
and begged him to keep his promise,
until finally in a fit of anger he shot
her, and then fearing the consequences
took his own life.
