SETTLED WITHOUT A STRIKE
Trouble Between Employing Printers and
Their Men Peacefully Adjusted,
EMPLOYERS CoNCEDE UNIONS DEMANDS
Men work Under Nine-Hour Day
Schedule and Draw Pay for
Nine md Half
,t... Hours.

The threatened strike among the printers,
pressmen, pressfeeders and bookbinders en-
ployed in the job printing offices Of the
city has been averted by peaceful conference,
and the men, who continued work all day
Monday, Notwithstanding the strained rela-
tons existing between them and their en-
ployers, will still continue this morning
amid general good feeling on both sides.
The negotiations for a settlement did not
begin until about l p. m when the master
printers met, and when waited upon by a
committee of employees submitted a PROPOSE
tion offering to split the difference with the
printers by paying $3.50 a week instead Of
si7. as demanded. This proposition %as
later rejected by the Typographical union
and its rejection endorsed by the allied
unions. The committees from the unions
carried back to the employers the final ulti-
matum that nothing less than the schedule
first proposed, $17 per week, would be con-
s!d>Sed, and at few minutes before 10
o'clock visited the employers for their final
reply. They were rejoiced when the spokes-
man of the employers informed them that
the latter had decided to pay the scale.
There appears to have been but little an
imosity engendered by the brief but appar-
emily determined friction that had prevailed
and it was easy to see that it was great re-
lief to both sides of the controversy when
the settlement was effected

TEST PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Wireless Telegraph Signals Are Con-
vcyed Distinctly Through Three
FircprOOf Vaults.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27-Prcf w. S. Johnson
and Prof. C. l.. Fortier of Milwaukee today
made successful test in this city of the

egraphing without wires through a suite of
seven rooms with all doors closed and
through seven walls. Another test was made
when the signals were conveyed through
tireproof vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard in which thirty wires were con-
nected up and about forty dead wires were
located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this switch
board contained live wires, the current
passed through all of the vaults and through
this board. This is one of the most severe
tests that has ever beer given wireless
telegraphy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-The Commercial

tion is lacking regarding the proposed uni
hcation of the preferred and common stock
of the Baltimore & Ohio system there is
good reason to believe that something of

ferred stock for two of common, with a
view of paying 4 per cent dividends on all
of the preferred. There appears to be no
ground for the report that special connec-
tion is to be made between the Baltimore &

VICTORY AT RIGHT JUNCTURE
News of Methuen's Gains Received Ia
Time TO Aid the Liberal
Elections.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-None too soon for the
British has come the news of the improved
outlook for them on both the eastern and
western sides of the South African Republic,
AZ the constant small reverses were arousng
keen resentment against the authorities here,
This was evidenced by the result of the
Wandsworth election to the London county
council on Saturday, when the previous con-
servative plurality of 80 was converted into
liberal plurality of 232, the conservatives
having made the war an issue and their can
didate being military officer,
To General Methuen, 1t appears, belongs
the honor of the first real British victory of
the present war, as Belmont was the first
battle after which the British advanced in
stead of retreating. The fact that General
Methuen was forced to fight a second pitched
battle near the scene of the first shows the
Beers were not demoralized at Belmont but
quickly rallied, and with undated courage
met the splendid assault Of the British naval
brigade at Gras Pan. The excellent military
qualities displayed by the Beers in these two
fights were no doubt partially derived from
the training of COmmandant Albrecht, a for
mer officer OF the Austrian army.
The admiralty is in receipt OF the follow
ing advice from Admiral Harris, dated
Capetown, November 2G:
Il deeply regret to report the following
casualties at Gras Pan yesterday;
KILLED:
CAPTAIN GUY SENIOR of the Royal
Marines, Of the Monarch,

Queen REGRETS the Losses.
The commander-in-c chief at the cape has
sent the admiralty an additional list of cas-
ualties among the British naval brigade en-
gagged at the battle OF Gras Pan, as follows:
