SITUATION OF STRIKES.
Merchants at Cleveland Who Sell Soldiers
Goods Are Being BOycOtted.
MAYOR FARLEY'S LIFE WAS THREATENED.
Hc Proposes to Suppress Lnwless-
ness and VIII Tolerate No In
reference with Policemen.

Cleveland, July 27.--Mayor Farley pur
lessness in Cleveland or the lines he ha'
laid down and he will not tolerate any
Interference That was made clear a
the special meeting of the city councl
this evening when an attempt to insti-
tute an investigation of the strike on the
Fig Consolidated railroad lines by spe-
cial committee of that body was defeated
II was the purpose to authorize a CON-
m;iiee 70 institute a SEMI judicial investi'
cation of the strike by subpoenaing Wit
nesses and sending for books and papers
to ascertain whether the agreement by
which the first strike was settled had
been lived up to, and inform the puclc
where the blame of the present strike rest
ed
Mayor Farley opposed the proposition in
a vigorous speech, in which he declared
that the appointment of a compittee
would Interfere with the plans OF the eX-
ecutive for the crust ms out OF disorder.
He said the only result would be to keep
aivt the agitation and that nc good pur-
poses woulG be served.
This seems to be a good time" the
mayor declared. FOR everybody to mind
his own business"
Several of the councilmen favored the
appointment of the committee, but when
the resolution came 10 a vote 1t was lost
Many of the strike sympathizers have
been bitter toward Mayor Farley. In
public meetings they have charged him
with responsibility for the present trou-
bles and threats against his life have
been made. This has led him to provide
a guard for his residence on Euclid ave-
nue., and detectives watch the house
every night.
The presence of troops has had a de-
pressing effect on the rioters, and up TO
10 o'clock tonight there had not been
single outbreak of violence The cars
were operated ON nearly all lines on nearly
the usual schedules, but in some parts of
the city they ran without passengers. The
boycott has extended to the soldiers. Mer
chants are refusing to sell them any sup
plies and representatives OF organized la
Dor have refused to patronlzc anybody
who takes soldiers money for anything.
Tonight the troops were withdrawn
from Collinwood on the promise of the
mayor TO preserve order there. The cor
oner's inquest into the killing of Henry
cornsweit last Monday by non-union
conductor named Ralph Hawley has been
In progress for two days. All the wit
nesses who have testified thus far have
told practically the same story. 1t is to
he effect that the shooting was unjusti-
liable.

London, July 2S.-The aspect of the
South African crisis has been little
changed by the latest news, but the ques-
ton seems to have arrived at deadlock.
The blue book issued, which brings the
history OF the case down to July 20, is
chiefly interesting as showing that the
cape ministry approved President Kru-
gers latest proposals as adequate and that
the Transvaal refused friendly consuta-
tons with the British government before
passing and promulgating the franchise
bill. 1t is understood that the negotiations
have ceased since this period between
Great Britain and the Transvaal.

Kansas City. July 27.--The Star
today saws: The tragic scene which
attended the death of Corporal Leo
nard f. Hayes, Americas only
traitor in the Philippines, was W.T.
messed by Sergeant George A. La
marsh of company II. Twentieth
Kansas volunteers, now in this city.
Sergeant Lamarsh went to the
Philippines with the Second Ore
gon six months ago. Corporal
Hnyes, he says, became enamored
of a Filipino beauty and, deserving
his comrades, was placed in charge
Of a Filipino battery with the rank
of lieutenant. He met his death al
most In the first engagement in
which he fought against his coun-
try.
Speaking OF this battle, Sergeant
Lamarsh says; I'VE had charged
the Flipinos, driving them back
and killing and wounding many.
Among the wounded left on the field
we found Hayes. He was recog-
nized by several OF the boys. One
of the soldiers Of the Second Ore
gon drove his bayonet through the
body OF the wounded traitor and
lifted him above his head and held
him there while the soldiers shot
him. Tho body was thrown into a
trench and buried with several
dead Filipinos. We would have
treated him worse II we had known
how Hayes was a corporal in
company l. First Colorado volun-
teers."

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Pnunccfote Refuses the Non-Signn-

The Hague, July 27,--The committee en-
gagged in drafting the final acts spent the
dav in attempting to reconcile the demand
of Sir Julian Pauncefote that non-sigpa-
tory powers be entitled to adhere to the
arbitration convention only by the con-
sent of the signatory powers and the
amendment of Count Nlgra. head of the
Italian delegation, permitting such adhe-
sion If no power opposes. The attempts.
however, We're without result. The plenary
conference adopted the preamble dealing
with the laws and customs of war and the
adaptation of the Gefeva convention to
naval war. The articles of the two con-
ventions We're definitely adopted.
The arbitration scheme stir awaits
Great Britain's acceptance and concession
to the plan.

Paris correspondent says:
Though no military movement has fol-
lowed General De Negriers disgrace /
am bound to say that although he has not
received the open appreciation of other
generals. General De Negrier is over
whelmed with marks of sympathy from
every part OF France. He was eyidenSy
one of the prospective saviors of France
and he made no secret OF his disappoint-
ment when NJ. De Roulede's attempt failed
and blamed General Roget for not snatch
ing the opportunity. It was General De
Negrier who demoral:ed President Faure
by predicting that the Dreyfus revision
would lead to the collective resignation of
scores of generals and officers. His pop
ularity in the army is undoubted.
