ARBITRATION SUGGESTED.
Plan Put Forward to End the Ham,
burg Dock Strike.

HAMBURG, Nov. s30.-A letter signed
by Senator Hachman, the chief of po-
lice; Sigmund Hinrichsen, the presi-
dent Of the municipal council, and DR.
Noack, chairman of Trades court. has
been sent to Count Won ELM, a member
Of the reichstag, to the representatives
of the strikers and to Laessiz, a ship
owner, representing the employers, ap-
pealing to them to have the dockers'
dispute arbitrated and suggesting that
a court, composed of themselves, be
appointed for this purpose, and that its
decisions should require the support of
at least six out of eight votes.
The Hamburg American steamship
company, which had ordered the steam :
ship Adria from Baltimore to go to
Nordenhann to discharge her cargo on
account of the strike has since in
structed that steamship to come to
Hafhbtsre where 1t is said. the influx
Of foreign labor >si1l enable them to
unload the steamship. The engineers
of the harbor steamers and tugs de-
mand an increase of wages or they will
strike tomorrow The workmen on the
state quays have also decided to stop
work If they are asked to discharge
the steamers Of the Hamburg Amer
lean company.
Two steamers have arrived here from
England and Denmark with non-union
laborers to take the places of the
strikers. The Heidmann Coal firm has
dismissed all strikers today. The mas
ters have rejected the warehousemen's S
demands and they refuse to negotiate.
The wages committee for the sail
makers of Hamburg and Altoona have
pledged themselves not to aid the mas
ters. Many grain handlers, however,
have resumed work.
At midnight an excited meeting of
the river engineers decided to go out
on a strike in the morning.

Special to the Globe.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Nov. 3O.-The
flood situation in this city is not con.
sidered critical by lumbermen and river
men. They say there is no cause fol
| alarm unless the weather iSoderates
This feeling of security does not exist
among the residents in the lower part
OF the city. The anxiety is caused
from the existence of a series of ice
gorges between here and Chippewa
Falls on the Chippewa river. The Iarg-
est Jam is about two mics above the
heart of the city and a mile above the
Della dam. It is said to be from twen-
~ to forty feet in depth and has formed
a complete dam. The low lands above
this clear to Chippewa Falls are under
water The reservoir of the water
works company is covered by twelve
feet of water At Badger mills the mill
property and residences are under
water. The tracks Of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & st. Paul road at this place
are also submerged. Should there be
thaw and these gorges give wav
suddenly, the flood would surpass manv
times that Of "a Owing to the water
being held by the jams the river at
this place has fallen about four feet
in the past twelve hours. Reports from
ABOVE at p m. state a rise Of nine
inches per hour.
A tale of suffering was brought to
this city by Andrew Suter and John
Langdon, of Durand, tonight, who
drove into town. Suter says that the
bottom lands on both sides of Durand
are flooded, and early Sunday morning
many families had to flee from their
beds in scanty night robes to places of
safety. Many are reported as having
feet and limbs frozen An engine and
coach was sent out from Durand to-
day and gathered up about fifty unfor-
tunates, but sof asst was the water
rising that the train had to return. 1t
is thought that some of the people were
not reached by the rescuing party. 1t
is not known whether any human be-
ings have been lost or not Many do
mestic animals, however, were seen in
the water frozen stiff.
A dispatch received by the Leader
from Chippewa Falls at 1870 D. M
states that the water there fell one
foot in an hour, but the next hour had
risen a foot and a half. The rise was
| caused by the breaking of a jam at
Little Falls DAM Gorges are reported
| at Flambeau and other settlements
north Of Little Falls. The water
at Chippewa Falls is seventeen and
| one-half feet above low water. Irvine
suburb, is submerged, and some OF
the lower streets in Chippewa Falls
are under water.

Ruin to the Valley.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Nov. 80
An immense ice gorge thirty feet high
has formed across the Chippewa river
below this city, and tonight farms and
farm buildings along six miles Of the
Chippewa Falls are under water The
food is being added to at the rate of
six inches hourly, and before morning
unless the gorge breaks this city will
be partly under water. At O'Clock
tonight Easements of all buildings on
Spring street are flooded, and in some
instances floors are under water Peo-
pie living in or occupying business
houses in the lower part of the city
are hastily removing their personal ef-
fects to higher ground. In 1894 a sim
liar food occurred, causing a loss Of
many thousands of dollars. A great
deal of railway property is threatened,
and many highway and railway bridges
will probably be swept away.
Below the immense gorge the river
is practically dry, and when the jam
breaks the body of water in the reser-
voir must carry destruction to the val
ley below. Eau Claire has every r. a.
son to feel apprehension, as it's danger
begins when that of Chippewa Falls
has passed. Between the hours Of 6
and 10 a. m. today the water rose six
feet, when there was temporary
abatement At tonight there had
been an average rise during the day Of
six inches an hour The gorge is five
miles long.
| At Irvine the Wisconsin Central rail-
way is under water, and the electric
/ light plant partly flooded, so that the
! town is in darkness.

ANNEXATION ESSENTIAL.
Hawaiian Situation Again Discussed
by Ex-Secrctary Foster.

WASHINGTON. Nov. S0.-John w.
Foster, former secretary Of state, has
returned to Washington from q six
weeks visit to Hawaii, whittier he went
as the representative of the Pacific
Cable company. In speaking of his
visit Mr.. Foster said:
THE condition of business in Hawaii
is fourishing. The islands are pros
porous and their future is bright The
Pacific Mail has recently doubled it's
service, sending a steamer twice a
month instead Of once, as formerly,
and a new line is soon expected to be
established by the japanese which will
touch at the islands on the way to San
Francisco. The people of Hawaii wish
to be annexed to the United States.
The present government has the ap-
proval of majority of the native
Hawaiians and there is no likelihood
that there ever will be a restoration Of
the monarchy. The English and Ger
man elements, however, are opposed
to annexation to the United States, be-
cause they believe it will interfere with
their contract labor and SO affect their
interests commercially. The present
government in its administration is
giving satisfaction. Yet this govern
ment is only temporary and the people
want to be annexed.

pERNIcIous ACTIVITY.
Charges Filed Against One Hundred
POstmasters.

WASHINGTON Nov 3O.-The presi-
dent today appointed Charles Ray
mond, Vice David p. OLeary; removed,
postmaster at Evanston, Ill., The old
postmaster at Evanston was charged
With going out of his jurisdiction to
s sell stamps and postal supplies. so as
to increase the receipts of his Office and
raise his salary and allowances This
is regarded as a serious violation of
the rules, to the detrfment of adjacent
offices.
In the neighborhood of 100 postoffices
are involved in charges of pernicious
activity in politics now filed with Post
master General Wilson. They include
a number of big offices against whose
heads serious accusations are made.
The policy Of the postmaster general
has been to act as leniently as possible,
and make removals only where neces-
sary, and accordingly all the charges
save half dozen have so far been
ignored, though action on a number of
the others will shortly follow.
