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 lockers
dispute arbitrated and suggesting that
a court, composed of themselves, be
appointed for this purpose, and that it's
decisions should require the support of
at least six out of eight votes.
The Hamburg-A American steamship
company, which had ordered the steam
ship Adria from Baltimore to go to
Nordenham to discharge her cargo on
account of the strike, has since in
structed that steamship to come to
Hamburg, where, tits said, the influx
Of foreign labor will enable them to

mand an increase of wages or they will
strike tomorrow. The workmen on the

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
demands and they refuse to negotiate.

Breaking of the Gorge Would Mean
Ruin to the Valley.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Nov 30.
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 8 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 sim
liar flood occurred, causing a loss Of
many thousands of dollars. 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 re a.
son to feel apprehension, as its 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 a temper ary
abatement. At 6 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.

STORM IN NEBRASKA.
Damage to stock Not as Serious as

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 30.-Final details
Of the great storm that has enveloped
Nebraska for six days were received
today Much stock has perished on the
extreme western range. where there
were few ravines in which the animals
could take shelter. The aggregate is
not so large as anticipated, however,
and, though the severe weather con-
tinues. it is bright and the snow is
rapidly disappearing, A peculiar fea..
ture of the great storm is the efficient
manner in which delay has been avoid :.
ed by railroads centering here Though
great quantities of snow fell between
Omaha and the MOUNTAINS, the Service
was uninterrupted The Union Pacific's
overland limited was not delayed
at any point between here and San
Francisco. The officials are confident
they have solved the problem of han
ding fast trains regardless Of heavy
SHOWS, which, in, former times, imped-

PERNICIoUs ACTIVITY.
Charges Filed Against One Hundred
POstmasters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. SO.-The presi-
dent today appointed Charles Ray
mond. Vice David p. O'Leary, removed,
postmaster at Evanston, Ill. The old
postmaster at Evanston was charged
with going out of his Jurisdiction to
sell stamps and postal supplies, SO as
to increase the receipts Of his office and
raise his salary ana allowances. This
is regarded as a.-sserieus violation OF
the rules, to the ,detriment 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.
