The strike at Alamogordo is now off.
The company has yielded to the de-
mands of its laborers and they have re-
turned to work.
The company realized that no ad-
vantage would result from prolon pinp
the struggle. While the men might
have been discharged aud their places
filled by others such action would have
affected the pocketbooks of the stock

next two months.
A delegation of Pennsylvanians
who called on him yesterday were told
that by the advice of his physician
he could not be present ct the unveil
ing at the Hartranft statue in
Harrisburg on May y. The

with the proviso that public business
did not interfere. He told the Penn

is the cause of his sudden determina-

In view OF the conditions In the Phil

not want to leave here, but the urging
of his physicians overcame his objec-

1t is desired that the president have
complete relaxation from mental wor-

During the presidents absence
nothing will be referred to him that can
possibly be attended to here. 1t is
said that the incessant worry of the
past few months has led to the con di-
tion of the presidents health which
has necessitated the imperative order
of his physicians.

is an increased feeling of qualification

proved that he will be able TO attend
