at Situation.
Says Plenty of Men Are Coming in
to Take the Strikers
Places.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 19-There was
little change in the street car strike situa-
ton here this morning. Cars were being
run at Irregular intervals on nearly all of
the lines. No violence has been reported
since early last night when a switch was
blown up on Murray Hill by the explosion
OF big charge of dynamite.
President Everett of the Big Consolidated
Company declares that he is well pleased
with the situation today.
In regard to his conference with Joseph
Bishop of the state board of arbitration,
Mr. Everett said that the grievances of the
employees were discussed at length, but
Mr.. Bishop did not propose that the griev-
ances be submitted to arbitration
There Is nothing to arbitrate" said Mr.
Everett. This is free country, and men
nave a right to quit work, and othees have
right to take their places without being
prevented from working. There are plenty
OF men who are glad to take the places of
the strikers, and we shall have their places

The War Department Officials Ignore
the Correspondence Protest.

Secretary Alger was early at his duties
this morning at the War Department, pre-
ceding his appearance at his desk by visit
to the White House and an interview with
President Mckinley. Pursuing the course
toward the press which he adopted while
away from Washington, the Secretary po-
htely, but firmly, declined to enter into any
discussion as to the famous round robin
of the Manila correspondents or to COM
ment upon the results of his conference
with Vice President Hobart at Norman
hurst. The Secretary appeared to be bene-
fitted by his short absence, and entered with
zeal upon the duties of his Office holding a
conference with General Wilson, chief of
engineers, and with Major Hopkins, his
military aid, respecting a railroad bridge in
Michigan, which is a subject of contro-
yersy.
The responsible officials of the War De
partment expressed the conviction this
morning that the round robin might now be
regarded as a CLOSED incident" diplomats
lcally stated Although General Otis has
full plenary power to deal with his critics
the President having declined to Interfere
in the matter, it can be stated that his
negative action was the result of conyic-
ton on his part that General Otis would do
nothing rash and would make no unneces-
sary issues at this juncture.

TINBEHS BADLY R0TTED.
Dry Dock at brooklyn to BE Rebuilt
With Masonry

The collapse of dry dock No at the
New York navy yard last week has led to
the determination by the Navy Depart
ment to practically replace this dilapidated
structure with modern dock of masonry
Admiral Endicott, chief OF the bureau of
yards and docks, recently looked over the
New York dock. and found that the tim
bers were badly rotted. During the late
war a board examined the dock with a
view 20 rebuilding It, but the work was de-
ferred on account Of the war. Now the
plans proposed by the board are available
and will~be put into execution. The funds
requisite are available, and about $500 900
will be spent in the substitution of con-
crete and masonry for the present rotten
umbers.' The entire entrance will be of
concrete, and substantially the whole dock
will be of the same materials The dock
will also be enlarged, giving il a capacity
sufficient to take in any battle ship. This,
with the capacity of the other dry dock.
will greatly increase the capacity of the
New York yard, giving 1t two of the best
and largest docks on the Atlantic.
The collapse of the old dock is regarded
by the naval officials as another argument
in favor of the abandonment of timber
docks. This dock was built about 1880, at
an expense of about 100000, yet it has
lasted only about nine years

AGAINST A POPULAR VOTE.
ttachmond Democratic Committees
Attitude on EIecting Senators.

HichmOnd Democratic Committees
Attitude on EIccting Senators.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, July 19.-The move
ment looking to the election of United
States senator by popular vote was tested
IN the city democratic committee here last
night, when the plan for the primary to
be held on July q, to nominate democratic
candidates for the legislature, was decided
upon The question of putting the names
of Gov. Tyler and Mr.. Thomas S. Martin
as senatorial sspirants on the ticket and
thereby allowing the people to indicate their
choice for senator, had been widely discuss
ed In political circles here, and there was
keen interest felt in the result. 1t was
believed that this movement would get con-
siderable support, but since eight out of
ed themselves in favor of Mr.. Martin for
senator 1t was hardly thought that the
popular vote advocates would have so
strong a support in the committee. Ten
members of the committee voted to put the
names of the senatorial aspirants on the
ticket, while fourteen opposed it. The large
support of the popular vote measure is
taken to indicate the strength of the meas
ure itself and not as a test of the compara-
tive strength of the two senatorial candi-
dates.
Henry M. Tyler a brother of the gov
ernor's, was, at his own request excused
from voting on this proposition.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF SAMOA
Mr.. Chambers Has Not Reported His In
tention to Resign.
Treaty Provisions for Filling Va.
cancy-Recent Fights Regarded
as Insignificant.

Chief Justice Chambers of Samoa has not
advised the State Department OF his inten-
ton to resign his office, as reported in the
press dispatches coming from Apia via
Auckland. In fact, the department is so far
without official advices from Mr.. Chambers
or any members Of the Samoan commits
sion by the latest steamer, which inclines
the officials to the belief that the fights
said to have taken place in Samoa among
adherents of the late aspirants for the
throne must have been small matters and
without International significance, as seems
to be indicated by the reported hearty CO.
operation betwee.i the German and British
naval commanders in making arrests of the
malcontents.
The report of Mr.. Chambers intention to
resign, If 1t should turn out to be true.
would be no surprise to the officials here
1t was patent that his position was unten-
able after the conclusion of the arrange
ment by the Samoan commissioners The
merits OF the controversy respecting the
succession of the chief justiceship are not
known here
Vacancy in the Chief Justiceship.
The treaty of Berlin prescribes the meth
cd of filling vacancy in the chief Justice
ship, namely, through the Joint action of
| the three treaty powers, and, failing an
agreement between them, by direct ap-
pointment from the King of Sweden and
Norway.
1t Is suspected that Mr.. Chambers resig-
nation was not absolute nor immediate
possibly 1t was dated to take effect upon
his arrival in the United States, in which
event there would be no vacancy until that
date.
The treaty provides that the president Of
the municipal council shall assume the du-
ties OF chief justice in the event of a va
cancy in that office, so that the controversy
between DR.. Solf and the members of the
commission is probably based on the purely
technical point as to when the vacancy
occurs. 1t is suggested, howeofr that in
its sweeping suspension of all the functions
of the Samoan government from the king
ship down, with the solitary exception of
the chief justice, the commission, perhaps
inadvertently, wiped out the office of presi-
dent of the municipal council, which might
prevent DR.. Solf from claiming the right to
NIL the vacancy, because he would not be
president of the municipal council
After all, these are not regarded as mate
rial points by the officials here, who have
all along felt convinced that more impor-
tant matters relative to the Samoan situa-
ton Will remain to be settled by direct ne
| gotiation between the three treaty powers
after the commission shall have submitted
| its report as a basis.

controlling the Washington Traction and
Electric Company are popularity called, has
secured another suburban feeder for its
extensive city system of street and subur-
ban railroads Some time ago an option

Two Fares to Heart of City.
1t Is the intention of the new company to
construct a line asssoon as the material can
be obtained from Bethesda to Chevy Chase,
to straighten and improve the present road
from Chevy Chase to Kensington and build
the extension to Garrett Park upon the
same modern principles. The provision of
the option on the present road, it is stated,
on the pest authority, provides that two
1afes only will be charged for passengers
from all points along the new road to the
center OF Washington, and through cars
are TO be run from Garrett Park to Wash
