CITIZENS PROTEST.

Mass Meeting in Boston in the Interest of
Street Car Employees.
Boston, Dec. 29.-Faneuil hall was
crowded with people last night in re-
spouse to the call issued by the Street
Gar Mems union, 800 of whose men,
bers have been discharged by the West

senators, eX-cOngressmen, lawyers, doc
tors, clergymen, philanthropists and
business men, while in the gallery were
many women. After a number of
speeches were made it was voted that a
committee be appointed to wait on the
company and protest against any fur
ther discharges, to demand the rein
statement of the men and to obtain a
conference so that the agreement might
be discussed.

Plan to Promote International

by WalCott.
Discussed at a Conference
at Canton at ConSidera-

President = Elect Anxious to
See the Party Pledge
Fulfilled.

CANTON, O., Dec 29-Among the
morning callers at the Mckinley resi-
dence were Senator Wolcott of Colo
RADIO and Secretary Mercer of the Re-
publican congressional committee from
Omaha. Mr.. Mercer was one of the
earliest callers of the day and had a
long talk with the president-elect Sen
ator Wolcott, however, was in earnest
conference with Major Mckinley for
over two hours. He said later:
ST came to Canton to call upon the
president-eleCtt to further the cause Of
international bimetallism, the United
States senate having appointed COM
mittee of five, of which [ was made
chairman, to prepare bill in the inter-
est of this cause"
1t is understood that Senator Wolcott
has the legislation which his committee
will propose substantially
Outlined and Prepared,
and that its provisions were under dis
cussion at the conference. When asked
if Major Mckinley had taken up the
matter with him, he said:
81 am glad to say that the incoming
president was deeply interested in the
cause of bimetallism. We went over
the subject at considerable length, and
he was most earnest in his desire that
the Republican platform pledge for the
furtherance of an international agree
ment should promptly be made good by
proper legislative action"
The bill will provide for the appoint
ment of a commission to confer with
the representatives of other nations to
take steps towards expediting an inter.
national agreement.

Sc secretary Olney and Ambassador Paunce-
fote Hold a Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - Secretary
Olney held long conference with Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, relative to the status of the Ven-
ezuelan settlement and the general
treaty of arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain. Mr..
Olney's call followed the arrival of
Minister Andrade of Venezuela and
Mr.. James j. Storrow, counsel in the
Venezuelan case. The results of the
conference were guarded with the
usual secrecy which prevails at meet
ings between the secretary and the am
bassador, but there is good reason to
believe it was the occasion for going
over several new phases of the Vene-
zuelan situation which have developed
with the return of the officials from
Caracas. The officials themselves
Are Extremely Reticent
and will say only in general terms that
the prospect of an acceptance of the
settlement by Venezuela is good. 1t is
understood, however, that there are
important limitations to this accept
ance, which appear to make the case
less hopeful of an immediate and salts
factory conclusion than has been ex-
pected. The plan of an extra session
Of the Venezuelan congress has been
practically abandoned.
On the question of general arbitra-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain, Mr.. Olney and Sir
Julian have made the final draft of the
treaty and it is in the hands of Lord
Salisbury awaiting his approval. No
doubt exists of its approval and it is
expected to arrive daily.

rendered decision which is denial of
the Indians claim, inasmuch as con-
gress in the act making appropriations
distinctly stated that the money was to
be placed in the treasury to the credit

Number of the Victims Still Somewhat in

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 29.-The
death list from the wreck at Cahaba
river, whereby Birmingham Mineral
railroad train dropped through bridge
10 feet high on the Southern railway,
appears now to be "a. Twenty-Five
bodies have been taken from Cahaba
river and since then it has been ascer-
tanned that T. W. Tibbs and wife, who
boarded the Inflated train at Gurnee
for Alger are missing. Several persons
from Blocton, who were early on the
scene of the wreck, still declare that 81
bodies were taken out of the river and
that the railroad authorities are still
mistaken in the number killed. The
Blocton people seem to think that sew
eral bodies were taken away by friends
before the relief train left on its return
trip with the dead and wounded.
