STRIKE OF THE
DOCK LABORERS
Employers and Employees
Are Both Confident of
Success.
Warehouse Workers at Ham.
burg Join the Men Who
Are Battling.
There Has Been a Great Delay to
Chartered Vessels, and Demands
for Dam ages Will Follow

HAMBURG, GERMANY, Nov. 29.-The
strike of the cock iaborers and others EN-.
ployed in the shipping trade continues,
and both employers and men express
themselves confident of success. There is
no sign of a break in the ranks of the
strikers, Notwithstanding the importation
of foreign labor.
The leaders of the strike are working
hard to secure the adhesion of all the
dock, harbor and warehouse employees,
and have succeeded in gaining many ae-
cessions to their numbers. The ware
house men and the men employed IN the
granaries decided at meetings held to-day
to join the strike in order to procure bet
ter wages fer themselves and incidentally
to help The men already out.
The strike is causing much delay in the
shipment of water borne freights. The
sheds are more than full of goods await
Ing shipment, but there is no telling when
the accumulation will go forward. Many
OF the new men that have been employed
are not at all skilled in the work, and this
adds very materially to the delay in load
ing and discharging vessels.
1t is believed that the claims of chartered
vessels for damage will be large, and if
these are conceded or enforced heavy ad.
ditional expense will be entailed by the
shipping men.
The Hamburg Nachrichten accuses En-
glish influences with causing the strike,
and asks the mem bers of the various ath-
letlc unions to take the places of strikers
A dispatch received here from Stock
holm says that the dock laborers' union
there held meeting to-day and decided
that its meDIbers should not discharge
cargoes from Hamburg that are loaded by
black laborers.
Emperor William has ordered that a
detailed report be made to him of the
causes and extent of the strike.
Thus far the men on strike have be-
haved in an orderly manner, but it is evil
dent that the ship-owners anticipate
trouble of some kind, for they have re-
quested the naval authorities at Kiel to
send marines here. %

TRAMPLEO TO DEATH BY A CROWD
Great Crowds of People Who Turned Out
TO Welcome the Vceroy of India
Become Stampeded.

BOMBAY. INDIA, Nov. pa dispatch
from Kasoda, capital of the State of that
name, gives the details of a fatal accident
which occurred there tonight. The Earl
of Egin. Viceroy of India. arrived at
Barolea this evening on a visit to the
Gaikwar, or native ruler of the state. The
inhabitants turned out en- masse to well
come the Viceroy and to see display of
fireworks in his honor. The display was
given in the park of the Gaikwar, which
was open TO the public.
Everything passed off without incident
or note until the end of the ceremonies.
Then the crowd made rush for the park
gates. which were so narrow that they
soon became iammed with people. Those
behind, not knowing the cause OF the de-
lay at the exit, pressed forward until the
crush at the gates was terrific. A num-
Der of persons were squeezed to death,
while others who lost their footing in the
surging mass of humanity had the life
tram pied out of them or died from suffo-
cation. When the crowd was finally
cleared away it was found that twenty
nine persons had been killed and thirty
five others more or less seriously injured

The present Hawaiian administration

people of the islands are living at present
has annexation as one of the main things

in more prosperous condition than at

ness way, because the last sugar crop was
an exceptionally good one, and the ad-
ministration of President Dole is the best
that the people ever had.
'Itds recognized that-the ultimate fate
OF the islands, il they are not annexed by
the United States, is that they will be
annexed by some other of the great
powers. 1t will be impossible for the
islanders to govern themselves success
fully for any great length of time by the
reason of the clash between the different
elements-Republica and Roy alists and
natives land foreigners. One thing is
settled, and that is that the Queen will
never rule again or the monarchy be re-
stored. So it remains for the United States
to act without delay or some other nation

would constantly be free from any special
taxation. But protocol has now been
puoiisned In which the Japanese Govern

tax shall not differ from or exceed the i'm

Ihu. Japan has explicitly renowned that

q nice question might possibly have

1t might have been claimed that Japan s
nature to avail herself of all the provisions
OF T. Shimoposeki treaty did not disqual-
ny other powers from taking everything
,nat the treaty gave, such action being
nased on their most favored nation right.
But the protocol just concluded in Peking
virtually abrogates the free-maDufacture
clause and disposes finally of any question
IN tnat sense. As for the compensation
obtained by Japan-namely, special sites
LOT japanese settlements in Shanghai,
ilentsin, Annoy and Hankow-it is evil
gently viewed by the Japanese with
much satisfaction. Until quite recently,

now stand on the same level as these
STeat powers in the matter of settlements.
1here can be no doubt that her position
Will be greatly improved in Chinese eyes,

Will be increased.

WITH "7YPHUS ANTI T0XiRE. -
Experiments That Reveal Some Valuable
Discoveries in Reference to In
fechious Diseases.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. '29.-
United States Consul George Sawter at
Glochau sends to the Department of
State the following account of q report
soon to be published in German medi-
cal journal by Professor r. Pfeipper and
DIR. W. Kolle, two well-known bacteriolo-
gists OF rim, giving the effect of num-
Der of experiments they have made with
a "typhus anti-toxine.'
"If their hopes are confirmed," says the
Consul, ethe science OF therapeutics in
infectious diseases will have received an
other valuable accession in this new dis
covery. The, two experimenters believe
that exemption from typhus germs, like
immunity from cholera germs and other
contagious diseases of like character, NAV
be traced back to the existence in the
blood of anti-typhoid substances, and
from this standpoint the very successful
results of the Investigations have been
gained.
That this theory is most important and
practical is realized when the vitality of
the typhus bacillus, as discovered by
Koch. Eberth and Klebs, is given consid-

and the fact that they are frequently the
direct cause of infection is widely recog-
nlzed by authorities on bacterio1ogy
Consequently this latest very important
discovery is to De greeted with Joy, as it
may prove in the future the means of pre-
serving numberless lives from untiuely
demise, particularly as man is susceptible
to attacks from the baciili during the best
years of his development-20 and % years.
The NEGOTIATIONS of typhus antfloxine
can be easily and quickly executed and
will prove of great value and benefit, espe-
cially in times of epidemic, when the need
of prompt efficacious life-saving remedy
is most urgent. The entire. fruits of the
experiments will soon be published for the
benefit OF the medical world.

UNl0A or RAILWAY TRAiNMEK.
A Movement on Foot to Have the Members

90 Common Cause

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. GA mass
meeting of railway trainmen was held
here this evening at Drulds' Hall. The
meeting was called by FIVE local lodges OF
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
w. G. Pierce, secretary of the Trackmen's
Union, presided and explained that the
purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
feasibility of uniting all organized bodies
oforailroad workmen.
Second Vice Grand Master T. r. Dodge
OF Chicago was the first speaker. He adj
vocated general un1on--not for strikes
and boycotts, buto to secure compulsory
arbitration and the enactment of law
tending to better the workers.
T. e. Merriweather, State Labor Com
missioner of Missouri, made a stirring
ten-minute speech that aroused the 500
auditors. Others made short speeches and
q recess was taken.
Upon reassembIing at 7:45 P. NJ Chair
man Pierce dispensed with ceremony and
called Tor short experience talks.
A committee of one from each of the
five branches OF the Trainmen' Brother
hood was appointed to meet any author
lied body OF railway workmen TO work
upon plan OF union.
Like meetings were held to-day in Sud
bury, Pa, and Columbus, Ohio. The plan
most favored for union is for each branch
of railroad service to maintain It's separa te
organization, but to send delegates to a
general congress of all railroad labor
unions. This congress should only
assume to deal witt questions that inter-
ested all the workers, such as the secur-
ing OF arbitration laws and laws Furnishing
black-iisting, e:c., and should have no
power TO order strikes or boycotts.
