Patrolmen James Saul and stephen
Dyer do not propose to resign" without
u struggle. Both of them reported
for duty last night and went out on
their respective beats, although the
lieutenants of their squads did not read
their names at roll call.
After taking counsel with their
friends yesterday they decided that Il
would not be just to themselves tc
hand in their designations.
I'VE do not want to leave the force"
one IF them said to Tribune reporter
Hcsterdaj, land it could hardly be ex-
peCted that we would resign for The
mere purpose of suiting somebody's
COuvCn cnce. Then, again, IL We re-
signed without a protest the public
would have reason to think we are un-
der some cloud and that we would pre-
fer to meekly submit to dismissal than
court the preferring charges and an
investigation. If the mayor wants to
get rid of us he will have to take some
other methods. If he has any charges
to prefer against us we want to know
1t. If we are to be discharged for
political reasons we want the public
to know it,"
III Elt Il ELL IN LINE.
When the night force assembled at
headquarters last evening at 7.15 o'clock
Patrolman Dyer was present in full
uniform and with badge, club and din
Cer bucket. Lieutenant Davis called
the roll and as each mans name was
announced he took his place in the
line. Patrolman Dyers name was not
read, Eut he took his place with the
others, nevertheless, and when thrv
formed to march to their several beats

the adjacent territory. Lieutenant
Davis took no notice of him. whateve~.
and the other officers only looked at
him through the corners of their eye,
At the West Side station house a sim
liar scene was enacted with Pat !olman
Saul doing the leading role. He re-
Ported at the usual time and when the
other officers started out on their beats
he proceeded to West Lackawanna ave-
ME, where he had been doing duty
previously, and at late hour last nigh:
was still patrolling there.
The mayor will likely send to select
council tonight notice of their having
been removed for cause and nomina-
tions of two men to succeed them.
What the outcome will be cannot be
safely guessed. The recent decision
in the Harrisburg case seems to give
the mayor power to remove officers
without consulting select council. He
cannot, however, appoint successors
without the advice and consent of the
council, but there is a proviso in the
law permitting him to make tempor
airy appointments for a period not eX-
ceeding thirty days without the ap-
pToval of council.

SERIOUS CHARGE

Victim.
Frank P, Blair Charges Otis
With Perjury and Has
Filed Affidavits.

Chicago, September 3.--The Chron
icle says that the publication of the
proceedings of the Captain Oberlin

dict is in the hands of President
Mckinley for approval or rejection,
has been the cause Of a number Of
sensational statements during the
past week, the widest of which is
hat of Frank p. Blair, counsel for
Carter, has charged General Ellwell
5. Otis, now commanding the army
III the Philippines, with perjury and
suborration of perjury and has filed
affidavits with the president.

MIR. Blair intimates that Carter

wrath of the men who have been
promoting the Nicarauga canal
scheme.
Garter was named member of
the canal commission to investigate

added Mr.. Blair "He was selected
because of his known engineering

They did not cry for blood They
shriily demanded five cents instead
OF four for peelIng bncketful OF

Bnt as their knives CLEAN ed
In tie sunlight they loudly asserted
their demands. and their conduct was
80 riotous that the mayor and chief
of police were called to restrain them.
On Friday the gi,ls at tho factory
of Jones & Ayars asked for an in
crease in wages, which was granted
to them.
On Satur day the table girls at
Fenwick factory, operated by Starr
Bros, made a similar demand, winch
was refused
The packers have had to pay IA
higher price for their tomatoes this
= year than last, tin has advanced liz
price, so they did not feel able to
grant the table girls demands. The
girls went-on strike. Every girl in
the Fenwick factory followed them
out.
The strikers walked out in BODY
and went to Lambert's factory. The
women and girls there dropped their
work and joined the others, who now
number 200.
A line of procession was formed,
and the female brigade started on a
march for the factory of Jones a.

Arriving there, they were denied

their knives and it is said ;hat ina nv
threats were made.
The wo nen employees at Jones &

No Analogy.

the patriotic war of protection to
American sailors in 1912, and the
war OF protect IN to- American citi-
zens in lS4S, and the present war of

None whatever. The hesitation of
the South to enlist for the conquest
of the Philippines is not from a want
of patriotism but from an adherence
