CLEVELAND, March 90. - Tn accord

meeting of machinists which lasted
practically throug ghout the night, the
machinists employed ia more than so
estabi bishnents laid down their tools at
I s o'clock am d 1t is stated that about
y, 300 men are out, including union and
non union men. Should the strike con-
tinue for a few days, several Thousand
additional men in other trades depend
ent upon the maehinists, will become
idle. The strikers declare they viii re-
main out until their demand for a g.
hour day with 10 hours pay is granted
by the employers.
Some Granted the Demands.
AT four estabh shine it's, the machinists
were notified early in the day that their
demands had been granted. In these
shops the men continued at work.
President O'Connell Of the Interna-
tional Machinists union has issued the.
following statement:
IF the 9-hour day is not granted by
the employers of machinists through
out the country by April 4, there Will
be a general strike involving 20o, 600
machinists and not wheel will be
turned until that concession is made. q
The strikes now in operation in Chi
cago, Cleveland, Columbus and other
cities, have SO far encouraged the ma
chinists of the United States to make a
general demand for 9-hour day, and

adjusted, it viii be very hard to prevent

I National Trades association can be In
duced to meet us in spirit of fairness,

q a meeting of the manufac acturers in

and take action on the question. A

Secretary Root Says Permits VIII Be
Granted tp All who Ask.
WASHINGTON, March %. Secretary
Root made a brief statement to the press
at the war depart in regard to the
action Of the department in granting
licenses to prospectors to dredgeE the
water front of Cape Nome, Alaska, in
their search for gold He admitted that
one br two such Licenses had been issued,
but to whom he did not remember, as It
was in the regular routine of the de
partment. There were about a.dozen
more mo- applications of the kind on file
and and they will be granted. The secre-
tary explained that his authority in the
matter was based upon the statutes Civ
ing the war department. jurisdiction
over the nayigable waters of the United
States. d
Under the law no one could have done
any dredging on the water front of
Cape Nome. within a three-1nile limit
without y the authority Of the war depart
ment. me This authority, the secretary
said, had been granted in several IN
stances because it was shown the pro.
posed dredging Of sand would not inter.
fere with navigation or the riparian
rights Of owners Of adjacent territory.
The particular character of the sand to
be dredged did not enter into the con-
sideration OF the case at all. The
secretary said further that any one was
privileged to dig for gold IN
the open sea, and the only question
considered by the war department
was whether such operations conducted
within the three mile limit were an in
reference with navigation or an in
fringement on the right of others.
4 When these conditions were complied
with, the department. was prepared to
grant permission to any one to dig in
the beach at Cape Nome or elsewhere at
any points lying within three miles Of
low water mark.
Although he did not 60 into detail,
Secretary Root made it clear that the
privileges in questions were free to all
responsible persons and no discrimina-
ton had been intended in the cases that
had been acted upon.

REPORTS NC OT CREDITED.

London Believes the Reports OF d Boer
5Ss victory Are Not True.
LONDON, March 2s % The report from
Kroons nstadt i, Orange Free State, via Pre-
toria, that the Beers, under the com
mand Of General olivier, had defeated
the British troops under General Cat
acre, in the vicinity Of Bethulie, is not
believed here. A dispatch to the Daily
News from fon tein, dated Tues
day, March 40, says General Gatacre
was ssall vel /, II and adds that he and
General Brabant had not lost a dozen
men ii a fortnig ght. The last adyices
also placed General Gatacre about 80
miles north Of Bethulie, where the Boer
report says the defeat was inflicted.
This, comb mbined with the fact that no
mention Of the ffffa fair was made by Lord
Roberts in his dispatch of March 2i,
confirms the belief that the Kroonstadt
advices are erroneous. ssI
The reports of skirmishing near L.o-
batsi while apparently not inflicting

columns cause grave anxiety III regard

Friends of Porto Rican Tarif Confident,
But Opposition Is StiIl Firm. III
WASHINGTON. March 233 Renewed
efforts were made during the day to Sc
cure an agreement on the Porto Rican
bill. The friends of the bill are still
confident, but the opposition on the Re-
publican side stated positively that the
house tariff provision could not go
through. Several propositions for a
compromise have been made. One is to
place in the hands of the president the
authority to remit duties on goods going
into Porto Rico, and TO retain the l5.
per cent duty on goods coming to this
country till the Porto Rican Legislature
can convene and prepare d system of
raising revenue for the island. 1t is
said this proposition Will be accepted by
a n number Of opponents of the present
bill. #

Nothing In the Story of nm International
Demonstration Against China. 4 II
I33, WASHINGTON, March 23. The fact
that the state depart rtment has con-
sistently through the. many upris-
|ings in China, necessitating the pres
ence of foreign warships, adhered to its
policy Of acting alone, is quoted here as
sufficient to indicate the error in the
statement connecting the presence Of
the gunboat Wheeling with an interna-
tional dem onstration. Tt is pointed out
here that in the past the United States
Warships have und eftaken to protect all
Caucasians, Europeans and Americans,
at the point where they must lianearest
the place of distur rbance The little
sgunboat Petrol had been otecting all
foreigners. Similarly any United States
Tarship would protect all foreigners
.during the operations of any of the Chi
nese secret societies. But it can be
stated that this government acted on its
own motion, and thus it can be stated;
that the commando Of the Wheeling
will act on orders from this government
alone and not IN con- junction with other
powers.

DUE TO CARRY WISCONSIN.
Leading Men in the Wolverine STATE
Believe That Bryan VIII Cap
ture Their Commonwealth.

Democrats who have Travelled con
siderably throughout this section o
the country, says special from Ii
Crosse, Wis, bring in surprising re
ports that the people are angry at thu
republican administrations misdeeds
and will have no more Of it.
In fact, they say that 1t looks as II
Bryan will carry Wisconsin, which ha:
always been given to the republicans
and with a good-sized majority, too
Principal among the objections to
Mark Hanna's administration is the
attitude of the party in power on i'm
| perialism and trusts.
| The German-Americans are loud in
their denunciation of McKinley's atti-
tude toward the Philippines, and be-
| lieve that it is his intention to turn
the government into monarchy. Such
is the feeling through this COMPRESSION
al district, and reports from Minnesota,
on the other side of the Mississippi
river, are of the same nature.
Hon. James ]. Hogan, who gained
considerable notoriety in 1896 by fight
ing Bryan and the silver platform,
but who now is one of the most stanch
supporters of the next president, has
refused to allow the use of his name as
candidate for governor. His large
businessinterests will prevent him from
making the run, although he is ac.
knowledged to be one of the strongest
democrats in the state at the present
time.
Attorney C. L. Hood, who has been
suggested for the place, also refuses to
run, giving as his reason that he could
not give up his law practice.
This leaves only one person in this
section of the state who has been men
toned for the candidacy, Hon. Wen
dell A. Anderson, mayor of La Crosse,
and the best the city has ever had.
This is acknowledged by the majority
of citizens, republicans as well as dem
ocrats. Mayor Anderson has been
spoken of for the position several times,
but he refused to run. He has not yet
refused to be a candidate this year,
and it is thought that he can be in.
duced to do So.
Mayor Anderson served two terms
under Cleveland's administration as
consul to Montreal, Can, and &C.
quilted himself remarkably in this po-
sition.
In connection with Mr.. Hogan it
might be added that this change OF
opinion regarding Col. Bryan was
brought about by hunting trip with
him on Col. Wetmore's reserve in the
Ozark mountains. He also spent a
couple of weeks with him on fishing
expedition at Minocqua, Wis.
He has many interesting experiences
o tell of these outings and is always
ready to do so.
He says Mr.. Bryan is the most wol.
ierful man he ever knew, honest as
he day is long and the best possible
