STUBBORN STRIKERS.
They Refuse to Yield an Inch and All
Negotiations are at an End.

Buffalo, \. Y, May 2O.-The grain
shovelers last night adopted resolutions
repudiating all agreements made with
the Lake Carriers association End de-
manding the unequivocal abrogation of
the contract with Mr.. Connors. The
striking freight handlers at their meet
ing voted to ignore the advice of Bishop
Ouigley. in which he urged them to re-
turn 20 work under the terms granted
by the associated lake lines at the con-
ference in the afternoon.
The action taken at these two meet
ings. ii is thought, will end for some
time TO come the negotiations which
have been in progress for over two
weeks TO bring about a settlement of
the dock troubles. The grain shovel
ers will refuse to make any further
proposition to either the lake carriers
or to the contractor. and as the lake
carriers some days ago decided to with
draw from the conflict the indications
are that the strike will be permitted to
wear itself out. The final conference
between Contractor Connors and the
men was held Friday afternoon and
was fruitless.

the purchase of a small interest in a
coal mine near his home. The business
grew steadily. In 1878, at the time of
the panic, the future steel king was only
24 years old. The panic enabled him to
acquire the whole plant, and then he
began to spread. He bought everything
he could in the way of coal (at panic
prices), and when the reaction came
he found himself enormously wealthy
At 40 he was master of the coal trade.
In 1878 he took in partner, Z. NJ. Fer
guson, of New York, and in 1882 the
Frick Coke company was organized.
Andrew Carnegie then became associ-
ated with Mr.. Frick in the coal and coke
business, and for many years the two
have worked together. Mr.. Frick is only
five feet four inches tall, blond and
slight. He is affable, generous, and, it
need scarcely be added, has great ca
pacity for work and organization. Few
captains of industry are his equal and
none his superior.

FOUGHT AT MANILA.
Gen. Anderson Bore a Noble Part In
the Eastern Campaign.
Just Appointed Commander of the
Military Department of the Lakes,
with Headquarters In Chicago
The Philippine situation.

Gen. Thomas NJ. Anderson, Z. S. A.,
now in command of the department OF
the lakes, has only recently returned
from Manila, whittier he accompanied
Gen. Merritt. Gen. Anderson is a sol
dier from his shoes to his hat. He
started out as a private in company
A, of the Sixth Ohio volunteers, in 1861,
and he had not been in the harness
a month before he had won a commits
sion as second lieutenant of cavalry
in the regular army. Just five months
after he was given his lieutenant's com
mission he was made a captain in the
Twelfth regular infantry. In 1864 he
was brevetted major general for gal
liant conduct on the field in the battle
of the Wilderness. On the very same
day he was brevetted lieutenant colonel
for bravery in the battle of Spottsyl-
vania. The general is a native of Ohio,
and before he took up fighting as
regular profession he was a lawyer of
ability and a thoughtful and cultured
scholar. Hence his rapid rise from the
ranks. Gen. Anderson headed the first
American expedition to the Philippines,
and was in command of the military
forces at Cavite and Manila until Gen.
Merritt arrived He took part in the
capture of Manila and performed meri-
torious service until few weeks ago,
when he was ordered to the United
States.
Gen. Anderson converSes freely upon
all topics relative to the Philippines,
with the exception of the newborn
anti-loyalist movement and the subject
of expansion. He calls the leaders of
the Malolos insurgent government men
who are unscrupulous and are guided
almost solely by avarice and selfish in
terests. Although confident that the
backbone of the Filipino insurrection
against the United States will be
broken, the general nevertheless is
loath to express more than a hope for

the ending of the warfare in the near
future. With the mountainous char
acter of the country and the fast
nesses of the interior affording numer-
Gus refugees for guerrilla parties and
bands of outlaws, he says there is every
inducement for the Filipinos to keep
up harassng campaign against the
American troops.
The leaders of the Malolos govern
ment are ambitious and unscrupulous,"
said Gen. Anderson. The reason they
wish for independence is that they wish
to gain control of the forfeited church
property of the Spanish government,
which is very valuable, and of all Span
ish concessions, and dispose of them
to their own advantage. BY Spanish
concessions l mean charters for water
works, tramways, electric lights and
other corporate interests. They know
that the treaty with Spain compels
that government to respect all cor
porate and treaty rights.
'The fact is that the natives of the
Philippine islands were prejudiced
against us by the leaders of the Agui-
naldo government. In various man
ners their minds were poisoned against
us, and it was claimed that the SUBJ
stitution of American government for
Spanish authority would not release
them from the intolerable bonds and
tyranny against which they had fought.
| have no doubt that if the natives real
ly understood the more liberal and hui
name character of the United States
government as contrasted with the rule
of Spain they would not show such en-
nifty toward us. But the prejudicial
view has been established, and it is
difficult to disabuse the minds of the
natives" Z"

voices and all were trained singers
after the African method when they ar
rived.
In character they stand as well as
the best. Said an eX-president of the
university, now bishop: mo one
ever hears of an African student lying
or cheating. They are all persons of
strong character, holding their places
among the students by means of their
worth and ability. Miss Manye is as
sistant superintendent of our Sunday
school, and an excellent one she is;
everybody honors and loves her" The
whole group of students have an ease
and dignity of bearing refreshing to
observe and during their whole stay
here their department has been excel
lent. Some of them are the sons of
heather fathers of considerable pos
sessions, especially in cattle and sheep.
Indeed, cattle are money in South Af-
rica.
All of these students expect to return
to Africa when through with their
studies, most of them to teach, think
ing thus to be of the highest service to
their people. One young man hopes to
engage in legal and political life. The
countries to which they will return are
now under English control, and are
fast taking on European civilization,
but the negro element is so etfecting
this civilization as to make it neces-
sary that the newspapers be printed
onc-half in Kaffir.

in the military drill carried on in the
university. This part of the college
work is under charge of Lieut.. Young,
the only colored West Pointer in the
army, and is kept up to high standard,
the young Africans being as bright as
any on the drill ground.
A representative of the Mtembu race,
when asked why he wished to learn the
drill, made answer: Il want to be cap
tain and be able to teach my people.
My people are brave, but they have not
education. They do not love to fight;
they like to farm, and are peaceable,
but they are brave and full of fight if
necessary. The Zulus are the fighters.
They like to fight. The Basutos also
have got guns from France and have
fought the English once or twice. They,
too are good fighters" The students
all speak well of the English, but are
not SO friendly toward the Dutch. They
say they never heard of killing people
by "mobs" until they came to this
country, and that their people when
well educated are treated by the Eng
lish as white people. They believe that
they will finally come into a fair share
of the control of the country and have
little complaint to make of the English
people who are living and trading in
their midst.

A TRADE IN CADAVERS.
Market was Firm at So for Each

THE MAZET INVESTIGATION.
The Members of the Legislative Conn
mittee are Told OF Queer Business
That Is Alleged To Have FIourished
in Greater New York.

New York, May 2O.-The feature of
Fridays sessions of the Mazet investi-
eating committee was the unearthinp
of an alleged system of corruption in
the disposition of dead bodies from
city hospitals; a ghoulish tale that was
well corroborated. BY several wit
nesses it was stated that an undertaken
named Marren illegally secured the
funerals of all bodies taken to Harlem
hospital and that he was enabled TO do
this by bribing clerks in. the employ of
the city to break the rules.
Wyndon Lynn, formerly employed by
Marren, testified that on Marren's be-
half he had on 33 occasions paid clerks
at the morgue So for bodies that were
not properly deliverable to Marren.
Lynn said that Marren had told him
that so long as Croker and Carroll con-
trolled affairs he could continue his ar
rangement with the mOrgue keeper.
Lynn also testified that Marren bought
from the morgue for so cents to 81 each,
eotfins made for the city at a greater
cost.
Lynn admitted that he had come to
the committee direct from the Tombs,
where he was confined on complaint of
Mlrren, charging petit larceny. Lynn
said that he had pleaded guilty to the
charge. The sum involved was S21,
and he had himself discovered the
shortage, to conceal which he had made
a false entry in Marren's books. A
friend had written to him that the pro-
secution would be dropped if he would
promise to leave Harlem. After leav-
ing Marren's employ the witness had
gone into the undertaking business on
his own account Two other former
employees Of Marren gave evidence cor
roborative of Lynn's.
j. II. Mccarthy, a judge of the city
court said he had contributed $4,000
or $1,000. he was not sure which, to
the democratic party at the election in
1897, when he secured his seat on the

had drawn a check to Mr.. Croker as

The old question of sewer pipe and

concern when he learned that it intend
ed to supply city departments. The

COME FROM AFRICA.
A Group of Interesting Students in
an Ohio University.
They Delong to Various Knmr Tribes
No One Ever Hears of Them Ly-
ing and CheatinS-Two bright
Young Women.

In Wilbeforce university, Xenia, o.,
there are now ten bright South African
students, eight men and two women,
representing the Basuto, Aitembu,
Fengu, Nasa and Zulu tribes, says the
New York Tribune. They have been
in the institution for various periods,
from seven months to five years; tho
oldest student, Miss Manye, of the
Basuto tribe, whose picture accom-
panies this article, has passed five years
in the school, and is now a sophomore
in the scientific course. The names of
the entire company are as follows:
Misses Makhoma, Manye and Adelaide
Tantsi, Messrs. Muskinya, Maxeke,
Yapi Tantsi, j. J. Tantsi, John Manye,
segaone, Kuzwayo and Masiza Kakaza,
Of the men two are taking a classical
course, one theology, one preparing for
law and four are taking the English
course.
Although representing several Gif-
ferent tribes, they all converse freely
in the Kaffr tongue, which is now a
written language. The most peculiar
thing in their speech is the click" ele-
ment, represented IN English by 'C,
"X' and So"
1t is made by three kinds of Click
one by the tongue one on the roof of the
mouth, somewhat as we express strong

ond is the drivers "click" to his horse
when he wishes him to go; the third is

These "clicks" are introduced at the be-
ginning, or even in the middle of a
word, with the utmost ease by the Af-
ricans, but no American can pronounce
'MaXeye"-the representing
"click," "click."
Miss Manye has taken special train
ing in voice culture and is a singer of
grace and effectiveness. It is remarka-

NAPOLEON THE GREAT.
He Is = Cat of High Degree and Had
aMarket value of Five Thou
sand Dollars.

People who admire cats say that
they are the only domesticated animals
which possess either character or indi-
viduality, but even the most enthusias-
tic cat lover would probably hesitate
before valuing a cat at $1,000. Mrs.
Charles Weed, of Bound Brook, n. j.,
has a cat, however, which cat connois-
seurs say is worth that SUN.
The name of this cat is Napoleon the
Great, and he is great. He's big, gray
fellow, with a coat as thick as bear
skin, but considerably softer. Ma
poleon belongs to that brand of cat

NAPOLEON THE GREAT.
"a Feline Aristocrat Said to Be Worth
$4,000


known as Angoras. The breed is dis
tinguished for the length and sickness
of the fur, but also for the beautifully
symmetrical markings which some of
them possess.
Napoleon is what a woman would call
q 'solid-colored" cat. He is the same
color all over, and is devoid of any
blemishing variegations. Curiously
enough, cat fancicrs say, it is harder to
obtain an animal all one color than one
that is marked. Some of the most beau
tiful Angoras that ever went on the
show bench were pure white, with the
exception of an evenly marked saddle
or tiger yellow stripes. They were
handsome, but they were not consid-
cred half as good or valuable from a
show standpoint as the somber Napo
leon, who in color resembles battle
ship with its war paint on.
Keeping a cat of the value of Ma
poleon the Great is no joke, for the
animal, unfortunately, seems to have
no sense of the proportions of his value.
He is just as likely to wander off along
the back fence as any other cat of no
intrinsic value.
The owner of Napoleon" does the
best she can, and, so far, has managed
to prevent her high-priced pet from
either wandering or eating things
which are not likely to agree with the
internal economies of $4,000 cat. The
trouble about a cat is that it cannot be
compelled to do anything it doesn't
want to do.
Napoleon" has taken first prize at
every show in which he has been en-
tered. lie is still quite a young car,
and his owner thinks the animal has
many years of prize winning yet to
come.
