Cleveland. June SA-Ths strike
among, the employees oe TIE nig Con-
aolidatsd Street railway b Ia = fair
way 10 b settled at meeting Of the
council peace committee today. On
Thursday the ofaosrs Of the Biz Con.
solidated issued what they styled their
ultimatum. It was to the eject that
the company was willing to take back
all but 100 men. which would mean
that so per cent Of the striking en-.
ployes would be reinstated. In the
matter of other grievances Of the COM
pany made no changes. but Its conces-
sions have recently been agreeable to
the strikers. The strikers Thursday
night refused to accept the proposition
of the company. saying the union men
would not submit to work with the
non-union men. Yesterday the peace
committee Of the city council issued q
call for q meeting Of the strikers,
which was held at Arch Hall, In which
an effort was made to induce the men
to agree to the last proposal Of the
company. The result of the meeting
was that q statement was framed
by the strikers. which they said was
their ultimatum. The statement prac-
tically agreed to the proposition OF the
company. They agreed to allow the
company to retain 100 Of It's present
employees and put In clause which
said that hereafter, in case Of any
difficulty between the company and the
employees. the latter should have the
right to appoint a committee, which
would discuss the grievances. This is
not contrary to the stand taken by the
company. The strikers asked primarily
for the recognition Of the union. The
council peace committee, however, per-
suaded them that 1t was to their
benefit to submit and they have prac-
tically agreed to do SO.

A SOLDIERS COMPLAINT. rs

Declares That Fever Stricken Men
Were Sent to the Front.
Chicago, June ga special to The
Chronicle from Marinette, Wis, says:
Hugh D. McCoshan, for years resi-
dent of this city and now serving as
sergeant in Company H, First South
Dakota volunteer infantry, In the
Philippines, In letter dated at Manila,
May 70, and addressed to Joseph Laur-
man, local merchant, says:
1.-TWO days after San Fernando was
taken our regiment had but 1870 men on
the line, the remainder being dead,
sick or wounded. General Macarthur
complained of the number Of men sick,
other regiments being in the same
shape as ours, and Major Potter was
sent into Manila to rush men to the
front. Acting under instructions, he
sent out 1903 men. OF these 80 were
unable to reach the depot, mile dis
tant, many of them fainting on the
way, some 20 or 80 ultimately arriving
at San Fernando in worse condition
than when sent to Manila, the others
being ordered back by surgeons along
the line of the railroad, who saw at a
glance that they were in precarious
condition.
II can prove by the record of the
hospital that men were ordered to the
front whose temperature was 1903 de-
grees, and men from other regiments

KILLED FOR SNORING.
Wife Cuts Her Husbands Throat
in a New York Hotel.
DYING, He EXONERATEs HER.

The Woman, who Is Apparently In.
| sane, Tells Conflicting Stories of the
Tragedy Declared She Wanted to
See the Color of His Blood.
New York, June 24-Harvey ].
Ramsey, So years old, ticket seller in
the Madison Square Garden, had his
throat cut yesterday in his room in
the Garden hotel. Before he died he
said his wife did it. She is a frall
woman, of refined appearance, and is
thought to be insane. The woman
was found in her room sitting calmly
in a chair. 1t is believed from her
language that she Is insane. She was
placed under arrest She told Police
Sergeant DAILY that she had cut her
husbands throat because he snored
and she was disturbed by him. Then
she denied that she had murdered him,
but said there had been something the
matter with one of the arteries OF his
throat and she had been fixing it
with razor when she cut him. Again
she said her husband had been shaving
and had cut himself.
Before Magistrate Cornell Mrs Ram
sey SAID she had been married to her
husband eight years, and again she
said she had been married four years,
but she admitted having been at the
hotel with her husband only since
February. After her arraignment she
was asked if she had had quarrel
with her husband.
Quarrel with my husband?" she
asked in low voice and in quiet
manner. Why should quarrel with
my husband? Certainly not. Why, |
like him. Certainly l like my hus-
band"
When questioned about the deed she
said;
Il cut his throat because he snored
so much He disturbed me. l wanted
to see the color of his blood. 1t was
very peculiar, and the strangest kind
l ever saw"
Magistrate Cornell held the woman
for further examination today.
In an ante-mortem statement to
Coroner Bausch Ramsey said his wife
had been Respondent for two days-so
much so that his attention had been
attracted to her because of it. He be-
lieved she was mentally unbalanced
when she cut him, and he said he did
not hold her resDOnSihle

ONLY.

It was only trill OF sweet laughter
That rang through the quaint old room,
That echoed from each lowly rnfter.
And banished the stiffness and gloom.
But 1t won from its evil designing
A heart that was sullen and wild,
And life was redeemed from repining
By the innocent laugh Of child.
1t was only kind word Of greeting,
A welcoming word and smile.
The lips sweet message repeating,
From . heart that was free from all guile,
And one who was weary with sorrow
Looked up from her vigil Of pain
And, filed with new hope for the morrow,
Thanked God and took courage again.
