THE STRIKE ENDED
Canadian Pacific Telegraphers Return
to Their Work Today


MONTREAL, Que, Oct. 7.-At 8
o'clock this morning the canadian Pa
cific railway made the following propo-
sition to their striking employees, which
was accepted by them:
'All employees now engaged in strike
on the Canadian Pacific railway may
report at once to their respective su-
perintendents who will reinstate them
without prejudice to the position they
occupied before the strike took place,
except such as have been guilty of such
grave misconduct as to cause general
superintendents to refuse to accept
them"
The men all resume work. Today they
claim to have won the fight, and that
the railway people were compelled to
give in owing to the blockade of freight
in the west. 1t is understood the agree
ment calls for replacing all operators
on the same basis as the other railway
organizations, and that schedule will
be drawn up ernbodying their agree
ment with the company. The griev
ances, it is also understood, are to be
submitted to the district superintend-
ent, as called for by the rules of the
road. This makes the settlement in the
nature of compromise.

A POINT DECIDED.
A Power of Attorney Confers No Power
aisrd to Sell

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. THE su
preme court held, in an opinion handed
down today, that general power of at
torney does not grant the power to the
attorney to mortgage the property.
Three men, Barron, Allison an2 Sack
ett, became jointly interested in mining
property in Shasta county. Allison and
Sackett gave Barron a general power of
attorney to superintend the mining prop
erty, to r'preserve, manage. sell and dis
pose of any and all of the said mills,
mines and other property in such man.
ner as he shall deem mete and sAoper
and for our best interest"
The mine did not pay, and Barron ran
up bill for supplies and borrowed mon
ey from a man named Golinsky to pay
the wages of the workmen. To secure
this account, Barron, for himself and as
attorney in fact for Allison and Sackett,
gave mortgage on the property The
lower court decided against the defen-
dants.
The supreme court says: 1.-THE author
ity to preserve and manage the property
or to manage and work it. cannot, by any
reasonable construction, be held to in
clude an authority to mortgage it,"

PUZZLED POLICE
LONDON, Oct. 7.-There is an air Of
considerable mystery about the case
OF walter Michael Castle, the American
merchant, Ella Castle. his wife, and
Fred Castle, his 10-year-old son, who
were arrested yesterday at the Hotel
Cecil and were charged at the Marlbor-
Ough police court with stealing several
sable and chinchilla skins, worth Ell.
from three firms.
The manager of the Hotel Cecil, where
the party was stopping. says today that
the Castles arrived there on September
26 from the continent. During their
stay at the hotel he said there had been
absolutely nothing in their conduct
which was not worthy or which seemed
suspicious. They seemed to be very
quiet and most respectable people, and
he was most astonished when the police
came to arrest them.
The Associated Press has made in
quiries OF the police authorities regard
ing the case and has learned that no
further charges have as yet been pre-
ferred against the Castles The police
confess themselves to be much puzzled
by the case. The evidence against the
prisoners seems to be confined to the fact
that they entered the shops making the
complaint and, after examining the furs,
left without buying any. The furriers
missed the goods Immediately after
wards and notified the police. The lat
ter claim they found the missing furs,
together with much jewelry and some

LACK OF LIBERAL HARMONY
Leads to the Resignation Of Leader Lord
R0seb ry
He Finds Fault with No One, but, Lack
ing Gladstone's Support, He Pre-
fers to Step Down.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE earl Of Rose
berry, the late premier of the Liberal gov
ernment, in succession to Mr.. Gladstone,
has written to Mr.. Thomas Ellis, Liberal
member of parliament from Merionet-
shire and the first Liberal whip, saying
he has resigned the leadership Of the
Liberal party.
Lord Rosebery said, in the course Of
his letter: 1.-THE recent course Of events
makes it necessary to clear the air I
find myself in apparent difference with
a considerable mass Of Liberals on the
eastern question, and there is the same
conflict of opinion with Mr.. Gladstone,
who must necessarily always exercise
matchless authority in the party, while
scarcely from any quarter do receive
explicit support. The situation, except
as it regards Mr.. Gladstone, is not alto
gether new. But complain of no one,
and I only regret that should appear
to divide the energies and try the faith
Of the Liberals.
"This question, however, is above per-
sonal considerations, and in coming to
speech, must speak my mind, and must
speak it with reference to the party.
Under these circumstances, 1t is best for
the party and for myself that 7 should
speak, not as leader, but as a free man.
consequently, I beg to notify you
that the leadership Of the party, SO far as
am concerned, is vacant.
II can only feel the deepest gratitude
and regret at parting with you and with
those who, like you, have given me such
loyal cooperation under circumstances
SO difficult"
Lord Rosebery expressed himself on
September IS, with reference to the pub
lie agitation in England for Intervention
in Turkey by Great Britain, by saying:
For England to interfere in Turkey with
out the consent of the powers would in
volve a European war;"
In contrast to this view Of Lord Rose
berry is the attitude assumed by Mr..
Gladstone in his carefully considered
speech at Liverpool, September "a.

Gladness Comes

IXTith better understanding of, the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That Is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup'Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment Of good health,
sn6 The system is regular, laxatives or
ether remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, ,rpne
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
