A LONG, BITTER CON TEST
Employees of the Cleveland Elec-
trio on a Strike.
ARE AFTER RECOGNITION
President Everett Denounces the Union
as Tyrannical = Several Riotous
Observation-Disclosures Is
Expected Monday.

Cleveland, Ohio June 10.-What
promises to be a long and bitter contest
between the Cleveland Electric railway
(Big Consoldated) and its 900 employees
was inaugurated at O'Clock this morn
ing by strike which tied up all of the
IA lines operated by the company. These
lines reach all sections of the city and
they form the only means of transpor-
tation for more than 100000 people liv-
ing in territory five miles long and
three miles wide at the south end. The
west side is affected but little, only one
line passing through that section, while
on the east side four lines of the Little
Consolidated, of which Senator Hanna
is president, are available for use by
most of the patrons of the tied-up lines
in that section. Thus far the Little
Consolidated men have refused to strike
and they are not likely to go out.
The strike is mainly for the recogni-
ton of the union and the men have
been preparing for it for several weeks
President Henry A. Everett says he is
willing to concede all the other de-
mands of the men and will adjust all
other grievances when presented by
his employees, but he declares that he
will never recognize the union. whose
demands he cbaracterizes as tyrannical
1t is the understanding that the COM
pany has employed men in other cities
to take the places of the strikers, but
it is difficult to ascertain whether many
of these men are now in the city Only
about half a dozen cars We're operated
to-day. There were two Euclid ave
nue. lines and they We're under the
guard of deputy sheriffs and We're ope-
rated by imported men. A few mail
cars Were run by the strikers, who say
they will not obstruct the mail.
There have been several riotous dem
onstrations to-day, but none of really
serious nature. There is not likely to
be any serious trouble until Monday,
because there will be no further at
tempt to operate the lines until to-
night. The other cars to be moved
Tomorrow will be those carrying the
United States mail and the strikers
| have volunteered to see that those are
| operated so long as no passengers are
| carried.

A VERDICT RENDERED
In the Case of Andrew Clarke VS.. the
"Medical Trust"

In the Case of Andrew Clarke VS.. the
"Medical Trust"
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June l0-The appeal of Andrew
Clarke of Billings from the action of the
state board of medical examiners in deny
ing him a certificate to practice medicine
in the state, which has been heard by
Judge Smith and jury in the district
court for several days and has proved to
be one of the most interesting cases of
that sort ever tried here went to the jury
late this afternoon. The jury returned a
sealed verdict tonight, after considering
the case about one and three-quarter
hours. The result of the appeal will not
be known until Monday morning. There
appears to be quite general impression
that the Billings man has secured ver-
dict favorable to him. The closing ad-
dress of Colonel Sanders, Clarkes coun-
sell proved to be the star attraction of
the trial, and was listened to by many
spectators, who seemed to enjoy the col-'
onels scathing invectives against what he
termed the medical trust. 1t is said that
if Clarke wins his case there are dozen
others in the state who failed to pass the
examination, who will employ Colonel
Sanders to make fight for them.

The politicians who have closely fol-
lowed the affairs of the Transvaal and
Mf Chamberla1n's attitude with re-
spect to them, are fully satisfied that
the colonial secretary plainly meant
to declare that by means of these open
ing negotiations in which the British
high commissioner, Sir Alfred Miner.
had exhausted every diplomatic re-
source to effect reasonable settlement
of the matters in dispute, it had been
proved definitely that President Kru
ger was irreconcilable and that all
hope of an arrangement by suggestion
or diplomatic pressure was bencefortb
vain.
The British are especially eyasper-
ated because they feel they have been
triffed with, and the question on every
body's lips is What next?"
Mr.. Chamberlain is not the man to bA
diverted from his course. He has pub
licly and deliberately espoused the
cause of the Uitlanders and his next
step will be a demand. 1t may be
stated as certain that this contingency
has been fully foreseen. Fresh troops
and large quantities of munitions of
war have gone to South Africa by
every steamer. The troops have been
described as reliefs, but those they are
supposed to relieve have remained in
South Africa. A steamer which sailed
in May took 500 of these reliefs and
passengers who had previously secured
accommodations, had to yield their
places to officers and men.
In Natal a large force has been as
sembled, fully equipped and ready to
march at moments notice Hun

Cyprus are on the ot sfhe stores are

packed with ammunition.
II is estimated that the Transvaal
could muster a fighting force of from
$4,000 to $4,000 men, while the British
troops there already number II 900 men,
commanded by the veteran, Major Cen
eral Sir William Francis Butler. who
has been in command of the troops in
South Africa since 1S9S His wife was
Elizabeth Thompson, the well-known
artist. He served in Canada in 1870 in
a Shiniti in 1874, during the Zulu war
of 1889; in Egypt in 1882 and 1SS4-5,
and commanded the British troops at
Alexandria from 1890 to 1898. In addi-
ton, the British have large body cf
splendid mounted riflemen and mounted
police available, also, if hostilities
break out.
While the country generally is back
ing Mr.. Chamberlain, many well-in :
formed people assert that urged by
Cecil Rhodes and the potent social in
fluences of the British Chartered South
Africa company. he is hurrying the
country to disaster.

WANTS TO MEET SHARKEY.
Jeffries Challenged for the Largest Purse
Ever offered.

Philadelphia June 10.-=-J. J. Jeffries,
the new champion fighter, appeared at
the Academy of Music here tonight
before a packed house notable fea-
ture being the large number of wo-
men present Jeffries boxed three
rounds with his sparring partner, Jim
DAILY, of this city. William A Brady,
Jeffries' manager. read from the stage
a challenge to fight Tom Sharkey about
Sept. Is for the largest purse offered
by any club and a $4,000 side bet.
The contest, he asserted, must take
place in an 1S-foot ring. Mr.. Brady
was very caustic and called Sharkey
a "blowhard," accusing him of having
robbed Fitzsimmons of the decision in
their fight two years ago.
Jeffries had little to say regarding
his victory over Fitzsimmons.
Il feel bit sore about the should
ers," he said, but beyond ~hat I am
all right"
Asked whom he was likely to meet
next he said:
II am not particular whom I meet,
but I would like to meet that talkative
tar, Sharkey. I'll fight him for char
ity. just to show the people that he
does not know how to fight"

A Nj MENTO OF THE WAR.
Spanish Cannon From the Philippines
for Montana.

for Montana.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 10.-The state of Mon
tana is ITO possess lasting memento of
the war in which persons have achieved
fame in the shape of a cannon captured
in the Philippines Governor Smith to-
day received a letter from the war de-
partment stating that it has been decid-
ed to send each state cannon cap
tured in the Cuban or Philippine cam
paigns upon receipt from the governor
of a request for one of the mementoes.
The letter stated that a gun from San
tiago could be had now and one from
the Philippines later The governor was
asked to indicate which he preferred
and where it should be sent. The gov
ernor replied that a piece of ordnance
from the Philippines would be preferred
and he would designate Helena as the
place to which it should be shipped.
Just what disposition will be made of
it after it reaches here is not known.
The letter to the governor came from
Major Hopkins, assistant adjutant gem
eral, and follows:
Dear Sir-The secretary of war de-
sires me to say that it has been decided
to loan to the several states certain of
the condemned and obsolete ordnance
captured in and about Santiago in the
war with Spain, and in this allotment
one gun will be assigned to your state,
to be loaned to such soldiers monument
association, post of the Grand Army of
the Republic or municipal corporation
as you may designate. There is no pro-
vision of law by which the government
can bear any part of the expense in
connection with such loan. The state
or monument association. post of the
Grand Army of the Republic or the
municipal corporation must bear all the
expense in connection with the trans
portation of the guns from where they
are now located. The guns will be for
warded in most cases either from the
Watervliet arsenal, near Troy, N. Y, or
from the New York arsenal at Cover
nor's island N. Y. There are no
mounts or carriages, simply the bare
gun. If it be your wish that your state
receive the gun allotted. will you kindly
designate the name Of the monument
association, G. A. r. post or munich
pal corporation which you desire to re-
ceiye it. If it should be your wish in
stead Of receiving a gun captured at
| Santiago to receive one taken in the
Philippines, it is possible that in future
some of the guns captured there may be
brought to the United States. If so, the
secretary of war directs me to state
that any request received from you for
one of these guns will receive very
| careful consideration, as he has no
doubt that as the troops of your state
served so gallantly in the Philippines
they would prefer as a trophy one Of
the guns taken there. I enclose you
herewith a copy of the law under which
this distribution is made. By direction
of the secretary of war, will you kindly
address your reply to me-"

were no oars or anything in the boat to
show that it had been recently occu-

conjectured. The sea has not been
very heavy and she could return at

might be found alive.
The life saving crew returned from
the schooner later in the day. having
found no trace of the sailors. AS the

FOUNTAIN MURDER TRIAL.
Evidence Is All In and the Arguments
Are Begun.


Hfllsboro N. M. June 1O.--In the Foun-
tain murder trial to-day, the rebuttal evi-
dence of the prosecution was devoted al
most wholly to an attempt to vindicate
the ex-legislator. The evidence of the
defense and the denominations of the
other witnesses had been for the purpose
of establishing an alibi and had brought
out these counter charges of several plots
to murder Oliver Lee and Attorney Fall
Captain Brannigan Carl Claussen. Jack
Fountain and others We're put on the
stand in rebuttal of the Rhodes story
The case was then closed.
Attorney Barnes opened the argument
this morning with a large crowd in at
tendance. Attorney Ferguson, for the de-
fense, declared that the prosecution had
failed to establish a corpus deficit or
shake the alibi of the defendants. He
touched on the alleged political animus of
the prosecution. Arguments will be con-
tiEued on Monday.
