STRIKE OF DGCK-LABORERs.
No Sign of the Differences Deing Adj
iustcd.

HAMBURG, November 2L-The strike
Of the dock-laborers and others employed
i'm the shipping trade continues, and some
Of the ship-owners and consignees are
finding it difficult to get their vessels
loaded or discharged. The Hamburg
American line have advised intending
shippers by their steamers TO send their
goods by way Of Bremen, Antwerp. or
Rotterdam. The companies in those
places which belong TO the Atlantic
Steamship Association have undertaken
to carry out all the contracts entered
upon by the Hamburg-American Company.
Similar measures viii be taken in the
matter Of passengers.
There is no sign as yet OF the DIFF
ferences between the shipping men ana
their employees being adjusted. The en-
ployers are firm in their refusal to grant
the demands of the men. and the latter
equally as firm in their attempt to compel
the employers TO accede TO their terms.
The movement threatens to spread to
Bremen.
The support that the strikers are receiy-
Ing from London cOmplcates the situa-
tion. Ship-owners and other employers
of harbor labor have decided to re-empoy
any Of the men who express a willingness
TO return 10 work before Thursday, at
the old rate Of pay, without the increase
granted lately as a compromise. Ihey
will not re-employ any Of the men who
refuse to accept their terms.
The strikers now number about 6'OD.
The seamen shipping at Hamburg are
growing more inclined to join the strikers
unless they are granted their old rate OF
wages, under which an ordinary seaman
received seventy marks per month, ana
the others I'm proportion. Work on the
docks and in the harbor is almost at a
standstill \ large number of men VINO
arrived from Friesland and other places

dent of the London Seamen's Union. mas

sociation will not discharge any vessels

SANTA FE RECEIvERSHIP CASE.
The Alleged Stocl-JObbing Com
spirncy Not Accomplished.

TOPEKA, KAN, November 2i.-Further
than the fling OF depositions, as told in
these dispatches yesterday, the stock
jobbing conspiracy in the Santa Fe re-
ceivership case has not been accom-
pMshed in the Federal Court. and it is
now probable that it Will not be at this
hearing. The attorneys for the prosecu-
tion have temporarily waived the ques-
tions of fact. and say that they are will
ing 10 submit their case on the points Of
law alone They have accordingly with
drawn the allegations OF facts set forth
in their motion, and this shuts the Santa
Fe out from introducing questions of
fact while this motion 10 remand is be-
ing considered. Unless therefore, the
prosecuting attorney should decide to 80
into the questions Of fact. the evidence
tending to prove stock-jobbing conspi-
racy will not be introduced until the case
comes 20 a trial on Its merits. If at all.
The Santa Fe attorneys claim that this
is a complete back-down on the part of
the opposition, and assert that they are
afraid TO let the damaging evidence be
introduced. The opposition say this is not
true. but at the same time they still
refuse to allow the case TO take any other
turn than discussion Of the points OF
law involved

RENEWAL OF RATE WAR.
What President Hoffman, of the ;.
A. L.. SnNs AbOut Ii.

BALTIMORE. MD, November 2f.-That
a renewal of the rate war from Baltimore
to the South is only question of a short
time, unless the Management of the Sea-
board Airline system and the Southern
Railway Company adjust the differences
that exist between them is generally be-
lieyed here. When President Hoffman, OF
the Seaboard Company, was questioned
to-day in reference TO the prospective re-
newal of hostilities, he would not commit
himself He intimated. however. that the
Seaboard Airline would begin slashing
rates again If the Southern persisted in
its present policy toward the SeabOard-
that is. denying the latter through pas
seneer service betw cen New York and
New Orleans, and running the line of
steamers between Baltimore and Norfolk
i'm opposition TO the Bay Line. which Is
owned by the Seaboard Airline. Said
Mr. Hoffman:
II was in hopes that when the negotia-
tIons for the transfer OF the control OF
the property 10 the New York people fell
through the Southern would be willing to
withdraw its objection to what are un-
dAibtedlv our rights. and restore har-
mony. II it does that. OF course We viii
be satisfied, and trouble will be averted;
hut IL II ignores our claims. as II has
done the responsibility must be upon the
shoulders of the Southern Railway Com
many and not upon the Seaboard Airline
system The Seaboard Will insist upon
fair treatment. and II it is denied US, then
We will take steps 20 enforce our rights
II "a premature. however, TO talk OF an
other ratc-war For the present. I will
take no action. I will await develop
ments."
