he took charge two hundred miles Of

blocked with snow and Baltimore had
a worse blizzard than any one in the

the road about sixty thousand dollars

in condition to resume traffic, but the

that they beat all competitors in get

CLEVELAND, O.. June 2l.-The et-
fort to settle the strike OF the street
railway men Is likely to be successful,
and 1t is now believed that settlement
may be reached tomorrow. Through
the efforts Of the special committee OF
the city council, the officers OF the
company md committee OF the strikers
were brought together to-day to dis
cuss the ultimatum presented by the
company yesterday. The only question
at issue Is how many OF the old men
shall be reinstatcd II tho strike is de-
clared off.
Yesterday the company received q
proposition from the men to the effect
that all the men be reinstated save
those who might be convicted OF de-
stroyins property. The company said It
could not discharge the new men 1t had
employed.
At the conference to-day, which last
ed almost continuously from o'clock in
the afternoon until 10 o'clock tonight,
these propositions were discussed. At
first the company offered 10 take back
60 per cent of the old men ct once and
relnstate the others who were accept
able as soon as opportunity offered.
The strikers committee would not con-
sent to that. Subsequently the COM
puny agreed to reinstate all but hun
dred OF the old men. and with that Of
fer under consideration, the conference
was adjourned until o'clock to-mor-
row afternoon. The members OF the
council committee think settlement
Will be reached.
A special meeting Of the council was
held this evening, but 1t took no action
bearing upon the strike.
The serious riot on the south side last
evening was the prelude to series Of
minor disturbances carried on nll
through the night. In every part Of
the city switches were destroyed, rails
torn up and tracks piled high with OBJ
structioEs. These were removed by
the police this morning without dim-
Guilty.
