STRIKE AT CHICAGO.
ALI the Companies Except Swift &
Co. Grant the Demands.

CHICAGO, June 22-Sixty men en-
ployed by Swift & Co. to-day joined the
400 strikers who yesterday quit the en-
ploy of various stock yards firms
Thirty colored men. who went to the
yards to-day expecting to be employed
were frightened away by the angry
strikers The men who quit work are
butchers and platform men, who de-
mand $1.15, instead of $15O as at pres
ent. To this demand the Chicago Pack
ing and Provision Company to-day
agreed and the strikers from that house
resumed work. 1t was reported that Ar
mour & Co. would also grant the in
crease. Effects of the strike reached the
stock exchange to-day and shares of
the Union Stock Yards and Junction
Railroad dropped 2 points.
All Of the packers. except Swift &
Co., met the demands of the strikers
this afternoon and the men went back
to work. About twenty of Swift & Cos
men are still out. but there is no pos
sibility of a general strike.

uncivilized foe.
The conference finally resolved in
favor Of prohibiting the use of bullets
which spread and fiatten out in the hui
man body, such as explosive bullets,
bullets in a hardened case which does
not entirely cover the point, or bullets
with an incision.
The British and American delegates
alone voted in the negative.
The use of any new explosives in pro-
jectiles from balloons was prohibited
for five years The question in re-
straining the introduction Of new types
of rifles was referred
Count Soltyk's report was then taken
up. 1t declared that the sub commit
tee, though unable to agree regarding
the proposed abolition Of naval rams,
submarine torpedo boats and the use of
explosives, had declared against the use
Of asphyxiating gases, which the first
committee also approved.

Concludes Germany Must Assert
Only Such Claims as Are Well
Founded and for Which the OBJ
legation for Compensation is
Clearly Established by Interna-
tional Law-P1ans for Naval
Militia's Drill Perfected.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-In connec-
tion with Baron Won Buelow's state
ment to the Reichstag as to indemnity
claims for Germany for losses in Sa-
moa, the June issue OF the "Prussian
Annual" just received in official quar-
ters here, contains discussion of how
far it will be possible to assert claims
for losses, suffered by German trade
and capital in conequence of the war
like events of the last year in the West
Indies, the Philippines and Samoa. A
distinction is made between such losses
as were brought about directly by the
war and such as We're the indirect re-
suit of the conditions of war; as for in
stance, the ruin or long storage Of
goods in consequence of the impossible
ity of shipping them by reason of the
blockade, increased insurance prem
iums, double freights. increased expen-
diture for the suspension of business as
well as losses of interest. The report
continues:
The compensation for the more in
direct damage will be, according to the
ruling principles of International law,
matter of greatest difficulty, yet it is
evident that the Germans will have
to be considered at least to the same ex-
tent as subjects of other neutral na-
tions are compensated for such losses.
AS regards the losses caused directly
by the war, the subjects of neutral
states living within the boundary of
state engaged in war have no claim to
privileged treatment through the
belligerent parties; they are considered
to belong to the population of the coun-
try and to share their fate. Claims for
compensation may, therefore, as far as
the war in the Philippines is concerned,
be settled by way of arbitration or
agreement. Thus. according to inter
national law, foreign states are not La
bic for losses by domestic troubles, if
a responsibility Of the respective for
eign governments cannot be conclusive
ly made out on the account that it
had been unable TO prevent damage.
'sOn the other hand there is no doubt
that full compensat ton must be granted
for all such cases where Spanish or
American authorities or troops have
seized the property of neutrals for their
own use or where these authorities and
troops have Illegally caused losses.
AS regards the compensation for the
damage done to Germans in Samoa, a
state of war has existed. contrary to the
clear provision of the Samoan act, be-
tween the Anglo-American troops ard
the majority of the inhabitants Of Sa-
moa, during which these troops have
violated a custom recognized by inter-
national law by not notifying the Ger
mans on March 10th of the impending
bombardment of Apia- Here a sense
of fairness certainly ought to demand
compensation to the Germans for losses
occasioned by England and America"
The author comes finally to the con-
c1usion that the government must as
sert only such claims as are we'll
founded and for which the obligation
for compensation is clearly established
by international law

OLYMPIA AT COLOMBO.
Dewey Presented With a Casket
and Address Of Welcome.

COLOMBO (Ceylon), June %. - The
United States cruiser Olympia, with
Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here
at q O'Clock a. m. from Singapore, June
10Th, saluted the forts ashore and was
saluted by the latter in return.
An aide de camp, representing the
Governor of Ceylon, Hon. Sir Joseph
Westridgeway, boarded the Olympia at
Z o'clock this morning in order to well
come Admiral Dewey, and Colonel Saw
age, commanding the troops. made
visit at 10 o'clock. The visits were re-
turned at II o'clock He was met at
the jetties by guard of honor, and
amidst cheering drove in the Cow
erno1's carriage to breakfast with Coli
onel Savage. The Admiral afterward
booked rooms at the Galloface Hotel,
and returned on board the Olympia at
1 O'Clock. There he received a depu-
tation representing the Planters Assoc
citation and the Chamber of Commerce,
and was presented with a silver casket
and an address as a memento of his
visit
The Admiral will remain in Ceylon
about week. He says he had a good
voyage from Singapore, and that his
health is fairly good. ~
$50 p. m.-The presentation of this
casket to Admiral Dewey was made ON
board of the Olympia, instead of in the
Council Chamber, because his doctor
had forbidden him to participate in any
function. The delegates also presented
a thousand pounds of tea to the crew
of the Olympia The Admiral, replying
to the address of welcome, said he
rv;o1, ~,
terms, reciprocating the sentiments ex-
pressed. But, he added, he spoke from
his heart when he said he deeply APP
preciated the welcome.
Admiral Dewey said that he would
have the very acceptable present of tea
distributed as desired, incidentally men,
tioning that he was lifelong tea
drinker himself, ard assuring the conn
mittee that the address would be read
at muster" and afterward framed and
preserved. The casket, he remarked,
he would always keep on his table, and
he told the delegates that he would re-
port the matter to his Government and
describe the cordiality of his reception.
Continuing, Admiral Dewey remarked:
That cheer raised on the jetty when
landed went to the hearts OF all or
us. We are 14.O0O miles from home.
but that cheer will be heard in Amer
lea, although the way in which 1t has
touched me / shall never be able 70
fully express. The two nations were
never so closely allied by mutual SYM
pathy and appreciation as now. The
American people realized this during
the late war, and you can imagine how
all those who were at Manila and met
Sir Chichester Commander of the Brit
ish cruiser Immortality and his gallant
comrades hold that feeling very deep-
ly."
A general conversation followed and
after toasting the "Anglo-Saxon
Union and the prosperity Of the two
countries, the delegation departed.
Admiral Dewey now says It is Inn
probable that he win go to Handy, and
that he Intends staying in Colombo

Example Of the Effect Of the
Dreyfus Case-American De-
mand for Protection Of Private
Property at Sea Opposed by the
Representatives Of the Great
Powers.

PARIS, June Ex-senator Waldeck-
RoSseau was recalled to the Elysee Pal
ace this morning where President Lou
bet requested that he form a Cabinet
Immediately. Later it was announced
that Senator Waldeck- Rosseau had re-
ported that he hoped to be able to COM
plete a Cabinet at o'clock this even
ing. He intends to ignore NM Gull
liam, Krantz and Poincare, in view of
their attitude during the previous ne
gotiations.
Still later this afternoon the an
nouncement was made that Senator
Waldeck- Rosseau had completed the
formation Of the Cabinet
The Senator, accompanied by the new
Cabinet Ministers, proceeded to the
Elysee Palace at 6:10 p. M, to present
his colleagues to President Loubet The
new Cabinet is organized as follows:
Senator Waldeck- -Rosseau, President
of the Council of Ministers and Minis
ter of the Interior.
NJ Del Casse, Minister of Foreign
Affairs
General Marquis de Gallifet, Minister
of War.
M. De Lanessan, Minister of Marine.

M. Caillaux Minister of Finance.
M. Millerand, Minister of Commerce.
M. Leygues, Minister of Public In
struction.
M. De Crais, Minister of the Colonies.
M. Jean Dupuy, Minister of Agricul-
ture.
M. Pierre Daudin, Minister of Public
Works.
On leaving the Elysee Palace, M.
Waldeck- Rosseau visited M. Dupuy, the
retiring Premier, to whom he present
ed the Presidents decree naming him
the new Premier. The new Cabinet
will meet tomorrow.
The appointment of General, the Mar
quis de Gailffet, as Minister of War, is
an extraordinary example of the way
in which the Dreyfus case has revolu-
tionized political conditions For years
past the General has been the bugaboo
OF the extremists, not only because of
his monarchial services, but on account
of the rigorous manner in which he took
part in repressing the commune His
entry into the Cabinet is undoubtedly
due to his attitude toward the Drey-
fus case, which has been throughout
favorable to Dreyfus, although he holds
that the proclamation of the prisoners
innocence should not place the respon-
sibility for the apparent judicial blum
ders upon the part of the general staff
Senator Waldeck- Rosseau entered Par
lament from Rennes. where he once
practiced law.

terview this evening with General, the
Marquis de Gallifet, the new Minister
of War, who is represented as saying:

rival of Captain Alfred Dreyfus. The
town is quiet Workmen have COM
pleted placing additional bars across
the window of the cell intended for the

protesting against this indignity, as
serting that Dreyfus ought to be treat

CHAMBERS DID RIGHT.
The Commissioners Sustained His
Decision.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-'rhe Secre-
tary of State has received a dispatch
from the Hon. Bartlett Tripp, United
that peace had been restored in the
island; the Commission had sustained
the decision of Chief Justice Chambers
in the contested case of the election of
the King; that Malietoa Tanu has re-
signed; the kingship was to be abol-
ished and a provisional government es-
tablished.
So far as the state of affairs in Sa-
moa and the program for the future
proposed by the Commission, as dis
closed in Mr.. Tripp's brief cablegram,
they are satisfactory to the State De-
partment. In the view of the State De-
partment most of this program is not
final, but is subject to the approval of
the three governments party to the
treaty of Berlin. This is true of the
projected abolition of the kingship, an
office especially provided for in the
treaty.
There is little doubt that our Govern
ment will consent at once to this pro-
vision as soon as it is made apparent
that the Governor of Samoa, who IS to
succeed to the control OF affairs in Sa :
moa, will be selected in such a man
ner as to- insure impartia;ity towards
the residents. The fact thar the Com
mission has unanimously sustained
Chief Justice Chambers in ,lisqualifving
Mataafa and seating Maliatoa Tanu on
the throne is particularly gratifying to
the authorities here. Admiral Kautz s
first action on arriving at Apia was to
decide that Chief Justice Chambers
must be maintained. The Commission
having found that Mr. Chambers de-
cision was right it followed that the
Admiral's action also was correct and
so the talk of preference of claims
against the United States for damage
resulting from his action will come to
nothing.
The British Foreign Office has for
warded to Mr.. Tower the British
charge here, a statement of the conclu-
sions reached by the Samoan Commits
sion, including in part the text of the
proclamation abolishing tn king ship
and establishing the provisional gov
ernment. 1t states:

nation on June 10th, reciting whereas,

drew D. White, head of the American
delegation on Tuesday, requested the
President of the conference, M. De
Staal, to submit the question to the

that the proper way to bring the mat
ter up for discussion would be to as

It is the general opinion that the del

lutely opposed to raising the question.

ference to do SO under the terms of

conference, with the approval of the
delegates, that under no circumstances

ject not contained in the circulars. Sew
eral delegates declare there is little
chance of the question being discussed.
