PECULIAR STRIKE IN WHEELING

pIOYes- Won, q Ride ON Cars

Wheeling, w. Va, May 1S-One of the
most peculiar strikes probably ever con-
tested in the United States has been in
progress for five weeks on the Wheel
ing street railway lines. The remarka-
BILE feature Of the contest Is the unan-
unity of the support of the strikers by
the population of Wheeling and the
surrounding towns. The men struck for
twenty cents an hour and nine hours a
days work. All the cars are in opera
ton and the company is not having
any trouble to run them. 1t is estmat-
ed however, that not over five persons
ride on the entire system during the
day. Bus lines run by the strikers are
largely patronized.

American commission regarding surren-
der arrived last night at San Isidro and
are coming to Manila to-day. The peo-
pie Of Manila are confident that the in
surrectlon is ending.
Washington, May 1S.-War depart
ment officials are firmly convinced that
the end Of the insurrection in the Phil
ippines is at hand and that the repre-
sentatives of the insurgent cabinet and
of Aguinaldo who are to meet General
Otis tomorrow will succumb to the in
evitable and surrender. Their forces,
it is said at the department, evidently
are so demoralized by the persistent ad-
vance of the Americans that they are
ready to accept peace on the best terms
they can get. Driven northward to the
foothills of the mountains, as they have
been, their fleeing and scattered forces,
disintegrated and disheartened, no
longer can be made to face our victori-
OILS advance. Less than week ago
General Luna was reported just north
of San Fernando, where Gen MacAr-
thurs troops are concentrated, and in
the neighborhood of Bacolor, with about
5000 rebels.
To-day General Otis reports that the
remnant of this force, about $500 men,
has withdrawn from Tarlac over twen-
ty miles north of San Fernando. 1t is
probable that the remainder of this
force moved east and joined the main
body of the insurgents which abandon
ed San Isidro, and fled north. where
Aguinaldo is now sending his commits
eioners to sue for peace. If this is
ruse to gain time, which none of the
officials at the war department believe,

leans will utilize the period during ne
gotiations to reconntiter preparatory to
resuming operations if such be the
case The 23d infantry went to Jolo,

1t is claimed by the friends of William

still leads with seven pledged votes with
a possibility of seven more before the end
of the week. Col. James l.. Norris is max

The stock market was again weak this
morning during the first hour, opening
on fractionally, and in some cases more
than point, and then tending to so lower.
There was a slight recovery later in the
morning which it was thought might re-
suit in a temporary advance. The mar
ket was traders AFFAIR largely with some
good buying at the lower prices Indica-
tions were that money would not be so
tight today as yesterday, but as the call
money rates are TO large extent L mat
ter of manipulation there was no certainty
as TO this. Buying OF the lowpriced divi-
iend payers is advised on this slump by
some of the most careful market people.
II is beyond question that the high money
rates are causing the selling of some of
the standard issues paying less dividends
than the prevailing interest rate, and, al
though this is probably a short sighted
policy on the part of investors, it must
be reckoned with by spectators on mar
gins.
