Archie Fired the Girl.

(San Francisco News Letter.
1t is the proud boast of Archie Bruce
that he is a lineal descendant of the
great Scottish hero, and, as becomes a
man of his blood, he prides himself on
his courage. For several months there
has been in his family a servant who
has completely terroriZed his wife, the
latter being the victim and not the
commander of her nerves. There was
a terrible row between mistress and
maid last Saturday, and on Monday
morning Mrs. Bruce said to her hus-
band:
Archie, 1 can not stand Mary Jane
any longer. Won't you please dis
charge her before you go to business
this morning? You know how AFRAID
of her 1 am"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Bruce with
suave courage, certainly. The crossest
creature that ever cracked cup or
cleaned a kettle can not COW me-.
The valiant Archibald sometimes
surprises himself and his friends by
floating along on a stream of allitera-
ton. Procuring his hat and coat. he
descended to the basement kitchen,
and in stentorian tones bravely ad-
dressed the servant.
Mary Jane, ahem. 1 must hurry off
now. but, ahemt-Mrs. Bruce asked me
to tell you that she wants, ahem!-to
speak to you after 1 have gone TO the
Office

daily sent out. Today only eight were
manipulated and most OF these did not
cover the entire route. TompkinS ave-
nue. was very much neglected. only two
cars passing over the entire lines dur
ing the day.
There was a riotous demonstration
by the strikers and their sympathiZers
at Flatbush late this afternoon. when
President Rossiter of the Rapid Transit
company, addressed a meeting of the
men who had gone out on the Flatbush
and Nostrand avenue lines. President
Rossiter drove to the hall in a car
riage in company with Seth L. Z>eeney,
director of the road. and another Off
cial. There was a crowd of more than
1000 people around the hall when he
arrived. and he was received with
shouts, Kisses and jeers.
After 1t was over the president said
ne had come to the meeting to restore
harmony. He declared he would take
the men back and not hold their action
against them. He gave them until 6
O'Clock TO return, and said if they did
not come back to work then they would
be discharged.
We'll never come back" was the re-
ply. in shouting voice. Drag him
down: kill him. The speaker smiled
While the babble reigned. and finally
he was escorted down stairs and
through the mob outside that shouted
for his life. He entered a carriage
with his party and was driven to the
barns around the corner. where the
party boarded the car "Ampere." The
crowd made rush for the car, but was
driven away
Then, with Mr.. Rossiter on the front
platform. the coolest man about, tn
car went to Church street, in Flat
bush, and was switched off toward the
Thirtyninth street ferry.
When asked for his opinion of the
strike and its probable outcome, Chief
of Police Devery said:
This strike should never have &C.
CURED. The men will surely lose. They
are not organized, and | think the
whole matter will be adjusted inside of
twenty-four hours
Police Commissioners Hess and York
were at the municipal building shortly
after noon and were soon Joined by
Commissioner Sexton, Chief Devery,
Deputy Chief Mclaughlin and Presi-
dent Rossiter.
Commissioner Hess, in speaking to
Mr.. Rossiter, was very plain spoken in
his remarks. and reiterated his state
ment OF yesterday as to the advisable
ity of considering the strikers claims.
The state board of mediation, to
which the grievance of the strikers
was presented last week by the eXecu-
tive committee of the Knights of La
Dor. held conference with President
Vreeland today After the conference
the board issued a statement in which
it says:
Mr.. Vreeland's position makes it
clear to the board that it will not be
possible, in the present status of af-
fairs. to have recourse to arbitration
and the board does not, therefore, deem
it advisable to take further action at
this time

BOTH SIDES STUBBORN.
No Change In the Streetcar Strike In
New York.

New York, July 1.-THE strike situa-
ton in Brooklyn tonight remains I'M
changed. The striking employees are
even more determined than they were
yesterday and the management of the
RAPID Transit lines are obdurate and
unflinching.
! Cars were run on most of the lines
governed by the Traction company
from early morning until o'clock-this
| evening, but after shutdown there was
considerable falling off in the service
and by 9 o'clock not car was moving
on any of the lines affected by the
striking motormen and conductors. The
roads comprising the Nassau line was
most effectively crippled. None of the
striking employees returned to work
and most of them were busy during
the day influencing union and nom
union men on the other lines to quit
work. In this respect the strikers were
partially successful, but they made no
inroads on the running of the Putnam
road. This line is practically intact,
not more than half dozen of its en-
ployeeS being affiliated with the strik-
erS.
The Coney Island Railroad company
reaped a rich harvest on all of it's lines
during the day. The Franklin avenue,
Smith and Jay streets, Hamilton ave-
nue. and De Kalb avenue lines were
running on full time and carried a
great number of passengers throughout
the day and night. The Coney Island
company lived up to its agreement with
the employees and consequently its
business was not interfered with in the
slightest. In fact. the business of these
roads was considerably augmented, as
many travellers patronized the cars al
though in many cases going blocks out
of their way to do so.
OF all the lines in the Traction sys-
TEN, Flatbush avenue and newly
opened Brighton Beach route were the
most seriously affected lines during the
day. The regular schedule on the Flat
bush and Brighton Beach roads calls
for ninety-four cars, but only six of
these were successfully worked. On the
Nostrand avenue line, which runs from
the Twenty-third street ferry landing
in Williamsburg, to Flatbish avenue
and Bergen street, seventy-fiye cars are

NEW SPARS FOR COLUMBIA.
Yacht to Have Steel Mast Instead of
Present One of Pine.

Bristol, r. L, July 17.-Captain
Rhodes of the Columbia received or
ders Saturday to sail for Newport as
soon as possible, and he viii not delay
his departure beyond Tuesday. The
new topmast of Washington pine.
which was sent UP last Thursday, is
slightly taller than the old spar. and
the better fitting sails are expected to
make their influence felt in the coming
races off Newport.
The Columbias new 107-foot steel
mast cannot be completed before Tues
day and may not be ready in time for
the first Newport contest. II is taller,
thicker and stronger than Defenders
steel cylinder, which has withstood the
most severe strains and weighs 1,600
pounds less than the big pine spar it
will supplant. When this mast is
stepped the Columbia is not expected
to heel so much in a stiff breeze, as the
present weight above the deck line will
be materially decreased.

General Merritt Disagrees.

1.-THE troops designated in the above
communication numbered 15,42o men,
which was over 10000 more than Ad-
miraI Dewey had asked for. but not
withstanding it was General Miles
opinion, that in view of the admiral S
statement that the Spanish force was
estimated at 10000 men, it would be ad-
viSable for us 10 nave preponueIdtifiS
force.
I'm the meantime, General Merritt
had been selected to command the ex-
petition for the Philippines, and, in a
letter to the president, dated May IL.
1898 he submitted an estimate of troops
necessary to constitute such an expe-
dition, comprising 14.400 men, of which
number 5000 were regulars. On May
Is he supplemented this by an esti-
mate for siege battery and a small
ordnance detachment.
General Miles had not seen General
Merritt's estimate when he wrote the
letter of May 16, given above This let
ter was referred to General Merritt for
remark, and was received back with the
following endorsement:
