FIGHT TO A FINISH.
st. Louis Transit Company Rejects
Strikers Offer.

st. Louis Transit Company Rejects
Strikers Offer.
st. Louis, June 20.-War to the
knife was the slogan adopted by the
striking employees of the st. Louis
Transit Company today. This extreme
action was decided upon this afternoon
when the proposition adopted by the
striking street.car men yesterday look
ing to a settlement of the strike was
turned down by the Transit Company.
President Gompers, of the Fedora
tion of Labor, called on President
Whitaker, of the transit company, to-
day in the interests of the strikers and
remained in conference with him and
the board of directors for some time.
The conference broke up'at 1:l5 p. M,
and Gompers announced that all nego.
tiations between the strikers and the
transit company were again off. Whit.
taker refused to submit the question Of
reinstatement OF the striking employees
to arbitration. Whitaker said the
best he could do il the strike were de.
clared on would be To place the strlk'
ers at the bottom OF the list, and give
them work as they are needed.
President Mahon, of the Interna.
tional Association of Amalgamated
Street Railway Employees, made this
statement this afternoon:
"This is now fight to q finish.
President Gompers told me this after
noon that he proposed to turn the en-
tire power Of the American Federation
Of Labor, with its membership of o.
600, 900, against the transit company
and fight the issue out ii it takes five
years to do it. The boycott to be dc.
clared will apply not only to the tran.
sit company, but to every person, every
business man, every corporation or in
dividual favoring them in any way

POLICE WE'RE WITHDRAWN.
st. Louis Street Cars Now Run Unmo
lested-Au Quiet.

st. Louis, June l6.-The predictions
that yesterday witnessed the beginning
of the end of the great street railway
strike were corroborated today when
the police department withdrew its
officers from all the cars and power
houses of the st. Louis Transit Com
pany and returned them to their regu-
lar beats. The Transit Company con-
tinues to augment its force of non'
union men and its transportation facili-
ties at ratio that promises to see the
system in full swing before many more
days have passed.
Much interest is being shown by the
general public in the coroners' inquest
at present in progress over the bodies
of strikers and a citizen killed last Sum
day by members of the sheriff's posse
oomitatus. The testimony adduced at
today's hearing does not deny that
Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick
Bohne, the citizen in question, but the
witnesses disagreed as to the deputy &
provocation for shooting. There was
testimony from about 85 witnesses,
consuming three hours, after which the
jury returned verdict of homicide.
A sensational feature of the inquest
was the conflicting statements made by
witnesses as to whether Police Lieu
tenant Stack ordered the deputy sher-
ifs to fire on the crowd. Several OF
the deputies testified that he ordered
the posse guard to shoot, while Stack
declared he did all in his power to pre-
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was a startling development AT
the inquest. 1t is believed that Marsh
has left the city. No further search
will be made for him probably, unless
friends of the dead man seek to prose-
cute him. the verdict of the coroner's
jury being practically an exoneration.

TRIP OF THE ELDER.
Account OF the Journey From Portland
to Dutch Harbor.

Account OF the Journey From Portland
to Dutch Harbor.
Dutch Harbor, June THUS far
has the good ship Elder, with her en-
thusistio collection Of goldseekers, pro
gressed ON her way to the land Of
promise. Under lair auspices has the
journey been thus far, and the light of
hope kindles each eye has the future is
contemplated. Many have suffered
from the trials which the capricious
mood of cold Briny" has inflicted on
them, but not severely; for, to give
Old Briny credit, thus far he has been
very lenient with US. Our time has
been passed in visiting the sick and
needy, who, like the poor, are always
in evidence on sea trip, and various
social diversions, consisting of enter
tainments in the afternoon and song
services in the evening. Our worthy
leader has been Judge Galbraith, and
to him we are deeply indebted for his
many kindnesses in helping out the
programme. We are also honored by
having in our midst poet, John L. M.
Shea, who has been inspired to write
a poem aboard, entitled, "The Voyage
of the Elder" Among the faces ia
miliar to Portland people are: W. 7.
Hume. w. S. Chapman, Captain. Wat
son, George w. Hazen, Joe Ben Lane.
Silvey Stuart, j. d. McKinnon, Cap
tain Lyons. We have but few ladies
aboard. Among them are Mrs. CAL
braith, Mrs. Hume, Mrs. Tuttle, Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Jewell.
Captain Randall is quite popular,
and has won much praise by his gen.
tlemanly and considerate department.
Mr.. Haywood, the purser, and Mr..
Owens, the freight clerk, also deserve
special mention for their courtesies.
AS the days go by and the trials of sea-
sickness are over, the jollity at meals
increases, revealing many original char
acters. and there is much by-play OF
talk. At our entertainments, too,
much Of originality is brought out In
the remarks made, creating no little
merriment. And so, day by day. in
our lonely floating home on the track
less ocean, we have our simple pleas
ures, each hoping in his heart. that
Dame Fortune may smile upon his ven
ture and that he may return to his
friends in dear old Portland success
full and happy man.

TRAIN IN A HAIL STORM.
All Windows on One Side Were Broken
and Much Damage Done.

Kansas City, June 20.-The Burling-
ton passenger train from Denver reach
ed the Union depot late last night in
sadly wrecked condition, having passed
through one OF the severest hail and
wind storms which railroad men say
they ever encountered. The train ran
into the storm between Falls City and
Rulo, Neb., 40 miles west of st. Jo-
seph, Mo. The railroad men say that at
times it seemed as if the cars would be
lifted from the tracks.
The storm struck the train in an
open piece of country, and the engineer
threw open the throttle in the hope OF
running away from it. The train was
filled with people, and in the cars there
was great excitement. With all the
wind and RAIN came hail. Hail stones
fell as large as baseballs. Every win
dow in the north side Of the sleeper.
three coaches and one mail-car was
samshed. Glass flew all over the cars,
and many of the passengers were cut
by flying fragments. Water poured in
through the windows, and fairly food
ed the cars. The mail clerks in the
mail-car climbed up near the yoof OF
the car to keep dry. Much of the mail
matter was damaged by water. The
damage done the cars and sleeper will
amount to about $500. Every window
in the engine cab was smashed by the
hail
