the successful bidders for the work have held

some reasonable understanding, but the pro-
ceedings have not yet been mad public.

union the members of the local union claim
that they can do nothing until they are noti-
fed to do so by the head officers in Baltl-
more, They have been notified of the con-
ference, and their decision on the matter is
expected Saturday.

claims that it is not obliged to pay this sum
or reduce the hours of labor to correspond, i,
and as a result 400 man are not at work.

accede to the demand of the labor union they

rived al Addison from China, had sad
tale to relate concerning her voyage.
Last September she sailed from New York
for Shanghai with her husband, Capt.
Henry Lancaster. in the bark Sachsm.
While on the passage her husband, who
had been a victim of Brght's disease for
some time, began to fail and continued to
grow worse until his condition was such
that it was considered advisable to change
the ships course and make for Hong Kong,
with the hope Of securing medical aid in
season to save his life. On Feb. II,
however, when within four days sail of
port, he died and the next day his body
was committed to the sea, and on Mrs.
Lancaster and the second officer deyolved
the task of preparing the remains for
burial. Mrs. Lancaster states that during
the last stages of her husbands S sickness
his suffering became so intense that his
hair changed to white in one night. She
also states that the conduct of the first
officer after her husband was obliged to
keep his stateroom was brutal in the
extreme. Ms. Lancaster is the daughter
of Capt. W. S. Nickels, of Addison, who
upon the receipt of the news of the death
of his son-in- law left for San Francisco,
where he embarked on the steamer City
of Peking for Shanghai to bring the yes
sci home, she having sailed from Hong
Kong in command of the first officer and
pilot.
