HOUSTON, Tex. Dec. 2.--The strike Of
the telegraph operators of the Gulf, Colo
rado a Santa Fe railroad was called
on today. 1t is presumed that there will
be Issued at once an order calling OF
the strike on all branches of the Atchison
system. but the committee of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers on the Gulf line
has Jurisdiction over Texas alone
The strike was begun In Texas fifteen
days ago. No concessions were asked
by the men or offered by the company
as preliminary to calling off the strike.
Following is the circular issued tonight:

the history of our order you are familiar;
with the conduct of the campaign you
have been kept as fully advised as the

to keep you In full touch with the sys-

facilities, not negligence. We have done
our best and only regret that your efforts
and ours have not brought us the victory
which we feel was deserved.
The loss of a battle or of a campaign

we took. Let eno man look back with
regret. Our destiny lies before us not
behind us. and the men who for fifteen
days maze the gallant fight that you
have are the men that will wrest from
the future the success and prosperity
which the present has denied them. Some
OF your number will suffer loss. some
will seek and find better positions than
they had, for no railroad employe Ii more
capable and worthy than those who ans

''In conclusion your committee simply

The police and detectives who are work

the views of Mr.. Kruger and his coun-

future prospects. Mr.. Stead has written
the following for the Associated Press:
First of all. nothing is decided about
his visit TO America at present. Presi-
dent Kruger has not abandoned all none
ments of the civilized world in his de-
mand for arbitration. Until the last
government refuses absolutely to say q
word in support of the principles which
they solemnly laid down at The Hague
conferences, Mfr. Kruger will not parti-
cfpate in popular demonstrations. II is
recognized that IL he cared to do so, he
could shake the continent. The popular
enthusiasm for him is unparalleled since

AMERICA WILL YIELD.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.--Instructions
were sent today to Mr.. Conger at Peking
to sign the agreement which. according
to Picking advices. already has been sign
ed by all of the other ministers at the
Chinese capital.
This instruction II sent with some re-
luctance, because the agreement as II now
stands does not completely represent the
view Of the United States government, but
II is believed to be the most favorable
compromise that could be reached unless
the negotiations are TO be drawn out to
a dangerous length. for all reports indi-
cate growing spirit of unrest in China.

thing as 'irreyocable."
