Detroit, Mich, May Negotiations
between the Detroit street railway COM
mission and Tom L. Johnson for the
purchase of the street railways of De-
troit by the city. were declared off to-
day. The commissioners had submitted
an ultimatum as to price and terms.
Mr.. Johnson's reply thereto was so I'M
satisfactory from the commissioners
standpoint that they will report to the
committee of council a failure to reach
what they would consider an equitable
agreement with the street railway COM
panies.
1t is understood that the street rail-
way people declined to recede from their
price, which has been given as SIT ,100,-
900, and that the commissioners feel
that 800, 900 is the limit which the
city ought to pay consistently at least

pose of furnishing Scent fares 1t has
been stated that the price named is an
option given by R. T. Wilson, of New

cash price is SIT, 100 900 in per cent.

frightful. Many times the rebels
threatened to behead him.

Parsons, w. Va, May "a battle
that would have resulted in several
deaths was stopped by the wise head
of Attorney Wood Daley at Elkins.
About four hundred armed men as
sembled there to go to Beverly after
the county records. They could not
get train and were going in wagons.
A man by the name of Dewitt, a Bev-
erly sympathizer, informed the Beverly
citizens of the Elkins peoples move
ments. About $50 Beverly men organ
lied quickly, armed themselves with
dynamite and guns and barricaded
themselves in the court house and
nearby buildings to watch for the Elk
ms crowd.
When ready they sent a committee
to tell the Elkins crowd what they
might expect In the meantime Mr..
Daley addressed the crowd, endeavor-
ing to persuade them not to co. After
the committee from Beverly arrived the
crowd reluctantly yielded to Daley s
advice and dispersed. Dewitt was
egged out of Elkins and he promised
to move back to Beverly The citizens
OF the two towns have now agreed to
let the Supreme Court decide the mat
ter, an appeal being taken from Judge
Hollis decision.

Washington, May 9.-S. B. Donnelly,
President of the International Typo
graphical Union, was before the In
dustrial Commission to-day. Refer
ing to the strike of the stereotypers in
Chicago last year Mr.. Donnelly said
it was failure because it did not
have the sanction Of the general order.
He thought strikes were diminishing.
The witness estimated that there were
about 1000 Mergenthaler machines in
use in the United States, and said they
had displaced about $4,000 workmen.
The printers had accepted machinery
in their work as inevitable, but he
considered them detrimental to their
business under existing circumstances.
MIR. Donnelly opposed the incorpora-
ton of trades unions because he was
afraid of the courts. THE banking
system seems TO permeate everything,
he said. mot only Legislatures move
in the directions indicated by the
bankers. but the Courts must do the
same thing"
