every paper on the desk, he will make
a fortune. Some fellows can stretch

END OF CLEVELAND STRIKE.
Terms Arranged by Council Commit
tee Agreed To-ResuIt an Expen- =
sive Victory for Company.

Cleveland, o., June 26.-The great
tied at seven o'clock Saturday evening.
1t was ended at time when everyone
had decided that a peaceful solution
was improbable. The terms of ad just
ment are similar to those which the
men unanimously rejected at their
meeting Thursday night The agree
ment provides for the hearing of griev
ances and resort to arbitration in case
the men and the company cannot agree
and it also provides for the reinstate-
ment of practically 50 per cent. of the
old men at once, the remainder. except
those who have been guilty of violence,
being placed on the waiting list. The
company has clearly Won the strike,
but at tremendous cost. The loss to
the Big Consolidated is $lOO.O0O; the
gain to the Little Consolidated, the
parallel line belonging to Senator
Hanna, is $4,000. The RIO men have
lost $50 apiece.
Only one outbreak of violence at
tended the resumption of traffic on all
the lines of the Zig Consolidated street
railway Sunday morning. There was
objection in some parts of the city to
the retention of the nonunion men who
were kept by the company. \ party of
o5 men assembled near the Brooklyn
bridge, just south of the city, and when
ever car came along with nonunion
crew the passengers were asked to dis
embark and wait for car manned by a
union crew. In most cases the passen-
gers did as requested. Finally non
union conductor undertook to argNe
with the crowd, and he was promptly
struck over the head with a club, and
he and the motor man driven away.
The mob refused to permit the car to
move until a union crew came along and
pushed it to the barns. AS rule the
old men were glad the strike was set
tied, though there was some grumbling
because the nonunion men were kept.
1t is predicted that all the nonunion
men will be glad to leave the city with
in 30 DAYS.

PROBABLY MURDERED.
Woman Found Dead In n wichita
(kan.) bank Abandoned.

Wichita, Kan, June 26.-When the
body of Miss Belle Slavin was found at
two o'clock last Thursday morning in
merce, death having resulted from a
bullet wound in the head, ii was sup
posed that she had committed suicide.
Later developments seem to indicate
that the young woman was murdered.
Coroner Mclaughlin now says her
death was not suicidal and the police
are working upon the theory that muir
der has been done. Miss Slavin, who
was the banks stenographer, was per-
mitted to take in outside work, and was
frequently employed by commercial
travellers and other strangers, work of
this kind often keeping her in the Office
at the bank until ten o'clock at night
Mr.. Jobes, president of the bank, now
states that on Wednesday afternoon a
strange man came to the bank and
asked to have some work done. Miss
Slavn told him to bring it around after
six o'clock. Mr.. Jobes says that he OBJ
served the stranger surveying the in
terror of the bank very critically.
NHlie Whiting LOT the stranger TO
keep his appointment, Miss Slavin evil
IDENTIFY busted herself by writing letters
to her friends, for when her body was
discovered three sealed letters were
found. All these letters were written in
a pleasant vein, and there was nothing
TO indicate self-destruction. A barber
who passed the bank at eight o'clock
saw Miss Slavin standing before the
window, apparently waiting for some
one. Another citizen heard a pistol
shot just after eight O'Clock. When
Miss Slavin's father, the president of
the bank, and another citizen went to
the bank in search of her at two o'clock
in the morning they found the bank
door unlocked, papers were scattered
around the floor the contents of several
drawers were disarranged. and Miss
Slavin's keys were missing. The re-
volver found by the young woman's
side was not her own. Her weapon was
found in a drawer. The theory of the
police is that the murderer expected to
secure valuables or money.

American Suggestion In Reference to
Protection of Private Prop
erty at Sea.

The Hague, June 23.-The American
demand for the protection of private
property at sea has not yet been pre-
sented to the peace conference. An
drew ID. White, head of the American
delegation, on Tuesday requested the
president of the conference, NJ De
Staal, to submit the question to the
conference, at the same time suggest
| ing that the proper way to bring the
matter up for discussion would be to
assemble plenary conference, sub
init the question, and have it referred
to a commission for examination. NJ.
DE Staal has not yet arrived at de-
cision, as the American proposal has
not yet been translated into French.
II is the general opinion that the dele
gates of the great powers are abso-
lutely opposed TO raising the ques-
ton, arguing the incompetence of the
conference to do so under the terms of
Count Muravieff's circular, NJ. De Staal
having declared at the opening of the
conference, with the approval of the
delegates, that under no circumstances
would the conference discuss any ques-
ton not contained in the circular. Sew
eral delegates declared there is little
chance of the question being discussed,
but that If it is discussed America will
be opposed with the utmost energy by
Great Britain and all the great powers.

voting. The question of dumdum bull
lets was discussed. Maj. Gen. Sir John

that dumdums should only he used

ference finally resolved in favor of pro-
hibting the use of bullets which spread
or tlatten out in the human body. such
as explosive bullets, bullets in hard
ened case, which does not entirely
cover the point, or bullets with an in

gates alone voted in the negative The

FUTURE OF THE G. A. R.
A Resolution Proposing Radical
Change to lie Presented at Next
Annual Encnmpment.

St. Louis, June 23.-The Post Dis
patch says that at the next annual en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. which will be the closing one
of the nineteenth century, resolution
will be introduced by an Illinois mem
Der to perpetuate il and take into it
the veterans of the navy, as well as OF
thearmy. 1t will be proposed to change
the name to THE Grand Army and
Navy of the Republic" The resolution
will call for the amendment of the con-
stitution SO as to admit all soldiers and
sailors who ever fought for the union,
all who are fighting for it now, and all
who may hereafter fight for the flag
and the principles which it represents.
The reason for the movement is the
fact that the &. 4. II. is in process of
speedy and certain ultimate extinction,
by reason of having nothing to recruit
from. 1t is probable that the com
mander in chief will be memorialzed to
appoint committee to consider the
proposition, and take the necessary
steps to change the name and consti-
tuition at the next encampment.
