BLOW TO TELEGRAPHERS
THERE WILL BE NO SYMPATHETIC
STRIKE ON THE SANTA FEE.
Statement Issued by Representatives
of Engineers, Firemen, Con-
ductOrs and Trainmen.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19-The committee rep
resenting the engineers, firemen, conduc-
tors and trainmen of the Santa Fe Rail-
way system declared tonight that they
would not advise strike in sympathy with
the telegraphers. The committee, consist
ing of ]. f. Roddy and Irving wellman, rep
resetttifrg eGslneers; Thomas Burke.
representing the firemen r. c. Scott, rep
resenting the trainmen, and w. w. Hut
ton, the conductors, issued the following
statement:
"As members of the committee repre-
senting the engineers, fremen and train
men on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway. we wish TO say that at the request
of the telegraphers we have endeavored
to bring about a satisfactory settlement
of the difficulties between the railroad COM
pany and the telegraphers. After care
full and thorough investigation of the
causes that led to the controversy and
after listening to the statements of the
telegraphers and also statements from Mr..
Barr, third vice president of the road, we
wish to say to the public as well as to
the members of the different organiza-
tions which we represent, that, while We
regret that We were not able TO bring
about q settlement between the telegraph
ers and the railroad company, we also
wish to advise the members of the organ
izations represented by us that the laborS
of the committee are completed and the
attitude of our members Will be neutral
curing the existence of the present con-
troversy.
''Our meeting with Mr.. Barr was pleas
ant one he expressing a desire to main
tain friendly relations with labor organi-
zations as long as they were conducted on
business principles"
The Tribune tomorrow will say: 1.-The
request made by the committee to Mr..
Barr was that he now renstate as many
of the striking telegraphers as possible
and take back the others as rapidly as
possible. This request was made in the
face of the fact that the telegraphers had
told the committee that they would not
go back until their demands were complied
with. Mr. Barr refused the request, saying
he had promised permanent employment
to the men engaged to take the places Of
the strikers.
Following the conference with Mr.. Barr,
the committee held a conference with Pres
ident Dolphin, of the telegraphers, who
arrived in the city i'm the morning. Mr..
Dolphin sought to persuade the commit
tee it was the duty of their organization
to stand by the telegraphers, but he was
unable to do so. Later the members Of
the committee stated they considered the
strike of the telegraphers i'll advised. The
strike was called without consulting with
the other organizations and under the cir
cumstances the latter did not feel called
on to take aggressive action in behalf OF
the telegraphers. They declared, too, that
the service of the road was but slightly
crippled at present"

MR.. STRAUS RESIGNED.
Leishman's Appointment as Minister
Not n Victory for the Porte.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - Oscar s..
Straus, in an interview in the Mail
and Express, to-day, said that Presi-
dent McKinley's nomination of John G. A.
Leishman, to be minister to Turkey, is not
diplomatic victory for the Sultan. 1.-THE
report that the Presidents delay in sending
a minister to Constantinople was directly
due to Turkeys failure to pay the mission
ary claims is not true said Mr.. Straus.
For some time the President has desired
very much that should return to Con-
stantinople. 1t was after 1 had told him
1 should most certainly resign that he
selected Mr.. Leishman as my successor.
All the unsettled matters pending at the
time of my appointment have been brought
to a satisfactory stage, and l believe the
Armenian indemnity matter will be ami
cably settled and friendly relations be-
tween Turkey and the United States con-
tinue firmly established"

HER PITCHERS NUMBER 1000
California Woman's Collection Largest
 in This Country

From the San Francisco Examiner.
 Undoubtedly the most remarkable and costly assortment of pitchers in private possession in America is that owned by Mrs. T. Lynn of Sacramento.
 Mrs Lynn has very nearly 1000 pitchers, big and little. One entire room in ger home is required for appropriate display of her treasures.
 She may be said to have been pitcher gathering ever since she was a year old. On her first birthday she was presented with d small pitched which was destined to form the nucleus of her present coliec- tion-an odd little pitcher that had long been in the possession of her sister, Mary Davis, and which Mrs Lynn values most highly.
 One of her pitchers has been in Mrs. Lynn's family for 1S0 years. It is rather large-slzed creamer. made in England and brought to Virginia before that common wealth was divided.
 An interesting relic of early days in the Golden State is a large, plain white pitcher used in boarding house in 1852, on the present site of the State House Hotel, Sac Iamento
 Another relic of local interest is a water pitcher of Rockingham ware, given to Mrs. Lynn by the first white woman settler in Monterey County
 Some of her pitchers represent famous manufacturers whost names and works survive, while the secret of their process
 is lost-buried with them.
 specimen of peculiar make is a creamer of belleck, the manufacture of which arti- cle ceased many years ago. It was made in Fermanagh, Ireland
 Quaint and rare is the small clay pitcher of Indian manufacture.
 A white milk pitcher brought from Ger many thirty-eight years ago attracts by reason of it's oddly old-fashioned shape. And equally interesting in their different ways are the pitchers that come from Ja- pan China, Australia, Nova Scotia, Swe- den, Frdnce-but if one were to enumerate the geographical origin of all this account would read like a tourists guild book. Of special value, however, and therefore en- titled to honorable mention," are the creamers from Hungary and Ceylon. Some of the water pitchers are painted by well-known artists in ceramics, and are of exquisite workmanship. One case alone contains thirty-nine of varying shapes and sizes.
 Mrs. Lynn is now collecting specimens from the various States in the Union, and hopes before long to have this portion of her pitchered possessions complete. She has not cataogued the collection, her memory serving well enough to enable her to relate the individual history of each specimen. She will probably compile the data in catalogue form before this won derfully well chosen collection passes on to other hands.
 Her fad has practically occupied the leisure hours of a lifetime and involved the expenditure of sum that easily reaches the 5000 mark. To clean the collection a task requiring three days time.
