A GREAT STRIKE
On the New York Central System
May Take Place This Afternoon.
The Company Has Until One O'Clock
to Accede to Certain Demands-If
Not Complied With Thirty hou
and Men May Go Out.

BUFFALO, N. Y. April 29.-The
striking employees of the New York
Central have given the company until
l o'clock tomorrow afternoon to grant
their demands. If the concessions are
not made. by that time it is the inten-
ton of the strike leaders to extend
the strike, and they predict it will be
the largest in the history Of the rail-
roads of the East. They claim that
all they have to do is to remove the
restraint under which they have been
holding railroad men and that 1t will
then run through the entire New York
Central system in the State and Grip
Pile nearly every road entering Buff
falo. A strike leader said tonight that
he and his fellows had arranged their
plans so nicely that within twenty
four hours after / o'clock tomorrow
afternoon 10000 men would join the
ranks of the strikers if the situation
seemed to demand it.
The members of the board of media
ton and arbitration conceded to-day
that the situation was grave, and they
did not disguise their belief that a
great railroad strike is imminent.
An important conference was held
tonight between Commissioners Del
ehanty and Webster, of the State
board of mediation and arbitration,
and the committee of the strikers.
headed by Chairman A. NJ. Fish. At
the request of the arbitrators the rock
bottom terms which the men are will
ing to accept from the New York Cen
trail were presented. They are identi-
cal with the original demand, includ-
ing a general increase in wges and
the unemployment of the old Union
men who were discharged.
In response to the question as to
whether a suggestion to compromise
would be acceptable, the reply was a
prompt negative, and that there would
be no settlement until the road agreed
to a universal scale of wages.
Commissioner Delehanty urged that
this plan be abandoned until after an
effort had been made to adjust diff
culties with the New York Central. To
this the executive committee agreed.
and it was arranged that Commission
er Delehanty should start for New
York Immediately in order to confer
with Superintendent of Motive Power
Waite, of the New York Central, the
first thing tomorrow. Commissioner
Delehanty is to telegraph Mr.. Waite's
reply to Chairman Fish of the strikers
executive committee.
The commissioners were given the
unreserved promise of the executive
that no move would be made
by them to extend the strike or to eff
feet the general situation in any way
pending the receipt of his dispatch
from New York, providing that it was
not forthcoming later than 1 o'clock
p. M. tomorrow.
CLEVELAND, O., April 29.-Chief P.
NJ. Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers said tonight that
the engineers on the New York Central
would not be affected by the threat
ened tie-up of that railroad.
The engineers have no grievance"
he said. @and they cannot strike ex-
cept in obedience to the laws OF the

THE HAGUE, April 29.-The men,
bers of the Boer peace commission will
sail from Rotterdam for the United
States next Thursday evening by the
Holland-American line steamship
Maasdam.
DR.. Leyds and DR.. Mueller will not

ALIWAL NORTH. April 29.-It is
reported here that Commandant Oliver
was wounded at Wepener last Mon
day. Six New Zealanders, while scout
ing, fought six Beers, killing three and
wounding three. One New Zealand
er was wounded. The inhabitants of
Rockville do not know to which gov
eminent they belong, as there is no
civil administration there.
LONDON, April 29.-According to a
special dispatch from Thaba N'Chu,
dated Sunday, the British troops, now
that the adjacent country is cleared of
the Beers who trekked hurriedly in
the direction of Ladybrand, will re-
cuperate for a short period.
BLOEMFONTEIN. April 2s.-The re-
cent operations have tended to clear
the military air. Gen. Pole-Carew's
progress through the country has
brought home to the Free Staters the
fact that the policy of leniency has
been abandoned. Besides Selling the
stock of farmers who, after having
given their submission, were found
fighting, he cpmmandeered all the
available forage, giving receipts for
the same, and this will prevent the
Beers using the resources of the coun-
try.
The Beers are now evidently re-
turning in order to concentrate for op-
posing the British advance. Now that
Thaba N'Chu as well as the approaches
are strongly held. Ladybrand, with the
u%nfriendly Basutos lining the border,
is rendered a position of extreme dan
ger for the Beers, the gravity of which
will be accentuated from the moment
the British advance begins.

BLOEMFONTEIN, April 29.-It is I'M
derstood that the British will continue
to hold Thaba N'Chu, owing to it's
strategic Importance and especially
with a view of checking future raids.
The commanders that had recently
been operating in the direction of
Thaba NChu are melting away, the
Beers quietly returning to their farms
and many of them taking the oath of
allegiance. Experience has shown,
however, in many cases that this is
only a pretence to enable the Beers to
create disturbances on the real of the
British and vigorous methods will
probably be necessary to force real
disarmament.

REV. s. B. SHINES TO RETIRE,
For Thirty Years He Has Been Rector Of
Old Swedes Church, Philadelphia.

For Thirty Years He Has Been Rector Of
Old swedes Church, Philadelphia.
After 80 years OF continuous service
as rector of Gloria Del, or, as II is
more familiarly called, Old Swedes
Church, Philadelphia, the Rev. Snyder
b. Shines has Informed the vestry that
as soon ms young man can be found
to whom bis work may be committed
he is ready and willing to resign. A
few of the more prominent parishioners
claim that Rev. Shines will feeder his
resignation Immediately following the
bi-oentennial of the church, which will
lie observed with appropriate exercises
on June 18th. He Is a Philadelphian
by birth. He spent portion Of his
early life in this State. His ministry
has been wonderfully successful. !.
Old Swedes Church is on Swanson
street below Christian, and is eur
rounded by factories, steamships, and
grain elevators. 1t was dedicated 200
years ago next month. In the quaint
old graveyard in the rear are Iomh-
stones legible from l70S This was not
the first church that stood on this site.
AS early as 1877, some five years before
the arrival of William Penn, an old
block house was transformed into /.
place of worship. and had Rev. Jacob
Fabritius for their preacher, who,
though entirely blind for nine years
before his death, remained with them
to the end. For many years they were
without pastor, and were dependent
upon the services of lay readers, and 1T
was not until 1887 that the King Of
Sweden, through the Archbishop Of
Upsala, sent over three elergymen to
look after the spiritual welfare of the
Swedish colonists of district then
known as Weccacoe. "a.
For more than century the Worship
OF the church has been that Of the
Protestant Episcopal faith. There have
peen only four 1eotors of Gloria Del
since legally and economically CON-
nected with the Protestant Episcopal
Church, as both the first rector, Rev.
DR.. Jehu O. Clay, and the present
rector, Rev. Oh. Snyder b. Shines have
severally been in charge for over 80
years. Although the neighborhood
whore Gloria Del stands has changed
wonderfully within the last aew years,
the church is in more prosperous con-
dition than ever. It's sittings are nearly
all taken, while its Sunday schools and
Bible classes are full to oeerfowing, so
that no place can be found large
enough to accommodate them when
combined and only by meeting in
separate parish buildings can they be
instructed properly. .~&t
The church is about year younger
than Old Swedes Church, this city. N

THE ELKS' CARNIVAL,
Programme of the Various Par,des SAN
f. suE Interesting Variety.

Programme of the Various Paratles -, An
Interesting Variety.
Ibe parade committee of the E]ks'
carnival has made its arrangements,
The carnival will be opened on Monday
afternoon, June 18th, at | O'Clock.
There will be q monster parade. The
industrial features of the town will be
represented An industrial parade
under ordinary conditions is always
somewhat tiresome and to obviate this
the show people included in the Bostocls
aggregation will he sandwiched in be-
tween the industrial floats. II is the
desire of the committee 10 make this in
dustrial parade larger than anything
previously seen here and all informa-
tion can be had by seeing Or. Swithin
Chandler, the chairman Of the commit
tee, or General Secretary Hunter
Grubb, at the headquarters. Gov.
Tunpell has been invited to be present
on the opening day. He and Mayor
Fahey, " is expected, will take part in
the opening exercises.
Tuesday will be tremen's day and il
is definitely settled that the flremen
will parade. An effort will also be
made to have the firemen and Whining
ton police force parade on the same
day. 1t is more than likely that the
Reading policemen will be invited to
be present.
On Wednesday there will be a chill
dren's floral parade The details for
this have not yet been arranged
Thursday will be Elks' day, and the
other fraterual societies In the city will
be asked 10 Join with the Elks in max
ing 1t gala occasion. In the evening
there will be parade starting at 7.3O
o'clock, and this will be ore Of the
greatest nights of the carnival.
Friday will be military day and it is
proposed to have Gov Tunnel and his
staff head the procession. On Friday
night there will be a masked carnival.
Every club In the city will be asked to
join with the Elks in making the scene
of the fair an immense masked carnival.
Every une will he asked to wear fancy
costumes, and the more startling the
effect the better. Nothing like this has
ever Eeep seen in Wilmington. On
Saturday evening there will be grand
battle with confetti. These battles
have been features In Paris and at an
nual. carnivals held in New Orleans.
The confetti, brilliantly colored paper,
is thrown every way and over every
one, producing queer effects.
1t is expected that tie carnival will
attract large crowds. Persons attend
ing the National Republican, Convention
in Philadelphia may also take in the
carnival.
