DELICATE SITUATION.
Buffalo Strikers Holding Conference
Bishop Quigley Presiding.

Buffalo, N. Y. May 19.-The situa-
ton today is a delicate one. Much de-
ponds upon the action of the strikers
on the proposition made last night by
counsel for Contractor Corners and ac-
cepted by President Mcmahon of the
striking grain shovelers, that a clause
should be inserted in the agreement
between the lake carriers and the men
protecting the latter against possible
discrimination.
If the attorneys representing both
sides reach an agreement. 1T will be
submitted to the men this afternoon. A
conference is now going on, adjourned
from yesterday between a committee of
the striking freight handlers and repre-
sentatives of the lake lines with view
to settling the grievances of the freight
handlers who have been advised to re-
turn to work by Bishop Quigley. The
bishop is presiding On the docks the
situation is practically unchanged. Last
night four marine firemen who left
their boats were taken before United
States commissioner and charged with
violating their contract which provided
for a round trip. The commissioner de-
cided that he had no jurisdiction.

ACTOR HOYT SUED.
DR.. Barry Seeks to Recover Damages
For Alleged Breach of Contract.

New York, May 19.-Charles H Hoyt
theatrical manager and playwright, mas
been made a party defendant In an &C
ton by DR.. William J. M. Barry to re-
cover $4,000 damages ON the charge OF
breach of contract. DR.. Barry says ne
was discharged from treatment OF MT
HOyt without reasonable cause. Dr
Barry says that he first met Mr.. Hoyt
in December last. He says he observed
that the playwright was suffering from
nervous exhaustion and a complication
of nervous and mental troubles, and
that unless he received proper treat
ment at once his case would speedily
terminate fatally, as all the evidences
of approaching paresis were clearly Wis
ible. After they had discussed Mr..
Hoyt's condition for some time, DR..
Barry says, they agreed that the ply
sician should go south with the play
wright for four months as his medical
attendant. For this service he was to
receive $4, 900 in addition to his expenses.
They went to Hot Springs, Va.,where
they arrived on February last.
DR.. Barry says that soon after their
arrival Mr.. Hoyt behaved in "a very
disagreeable and ungentlemanly man
ner because the physician refused to
allow him to take morphia, using most
violent and blasphemOus language and
striking himself, all in the presence of
strangers
Mr. Hoyt became excitable and nerv-
Gus, DR.. Barry declares. because he
strictly prohibited him from using to-
bacco, alcohol and morphine, and the
matter eliminated on February Il, when
he was dismissed from his service.

that was the boy that the brass be-
longed to; so both of them are behind

curiosity expressed as to the reason for
the selection of the Baker cottage at
Newport by Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt Jr., for their summer home.
The house is an old-fashioned wooden
villa, and, although it commands 81
beautiful view, it is some distance off
