NO SIGN OF SETTLEMENT
ST. LOUIS STREET RAILWAY
STRIKE TO CONTINUE.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-Developments in
the strike situation today caused hope
to bound high in the public breast, and
in many quarters confidence was ex-
pressed that the curtain was about to be
rung down OF the prolonged struggle be-
tween capital and labor. But tonight
the word has passed around that the citi-
zens' committee, which has Iabored so
zealously to bring about an amicable ad-
justment of affairs, had failed to con-
sUmmate its object, and again hope gave
way to bitter disappointment.
Early in the day the citizens commit
tee submitted a proposition for a settle
ment of the strike to Edward Whitaker,
president of the Transit union, the salient
point of which is that the railway COM
pany shall agree TO restore to it's en-
plOyment not less than 1000 of it's for
mer employees Immediately and not less
than 500 additional of them within nine
ty days after the proposition is ac-
cepted. The proposition further provided
that as soon as the first thousand men
have been provided for the company shall
re-emplOy as many more of it's former
employees as there shall be places for
them, either by reasons of vacancies
that shall occur or the future extension
OF the company's business.
This proposition met with the entire ap-
probation of Mr. Whitaker, and he ap-
proved it forthwith Gov. Stone called
the members of the strikers grievance
committee together and they went into
secret session to consider the proposition
The conference was lengthy one, con-
tinung until o'clock. After the ad-
journment none of the members of the
grievance committee would divulge what
had transpired. At the conclusion OF
the conference Mr.. Stone stated that the
committee had made no progress. He
said
we have discussed this proposition
eXhaustively, and l want to say right
mere, members of the union committee
atism and breadth of view in Their dis
cuss1on of the proposition. We reached
no conclusion. because l desired some in
formation that is absolutely necessary
before We act. 1 have asked these gen
uemen to furnish me this Information
and they will do SO some time tomorrow
l cannot state the nature of this infOr-
nation at this time.
In the meantime [ hope to be able to
arrange for conference between myself
and the attorneys of the Transit COM
pany. 1 think the situation has reached
point now where we may negotiate df-
rectly with them.
Il may say, however, that the PROPOSE
ton as submitted cannot be accepted by
the union: do not care to specify the
points that prevent acceptance, but
speaking generally, the proposition will
have to be changed before we can ac-
cept it.
81 desire to say that the citizens com
mlttee did not succeed in securing from
the company the concessions that they
led US to believe they would secure The
proposition as submitted does not go to
the length promised by the committee"

SAD FATE OF DELLA FOX
STORY OF THE WRECK OF a ONCE
BRIGHT INTELLECT.

NEW YORK, June 2-Della Fox, the
bright little actress, has lost her reason
and has been committed to an asylum.
There Is no hope that she will recover,
although 1t is said that possibly she may
not become as pitiably insane as did that
sweet singer, Billy Scanlan whose case
closely resembles that Of Miss Fox
Fast living, cocaine, morphine and
brandy are taxed with causing the col
lapse of the young woman, who for years
was such prime favorite on the comic
opera stage. For some time her friends
have seen the inevitable end coming and
nave done all in power to postpone It,
but to no avail
Miss Fox was taken to a country resi-
dence, and, apparently surrounded by OBJ
stacles that she could not overcome to
prevent her indulgence in the drugs that
were Wrecking her brain, but to no pur-
pose. In ways unknown to her friends
she managed to get all she wanted, and
recently her state became so serious that
there was nothing left to do but to place
her under restraint.
Mr. Hummel submitted To Justice Nc
Adam certificates made by Drs. Austin
Flint, Jr., and Edward D. Fisher, in
which they set forth that Miss Fox was
suffering from delusons caused by the
use Of stimulants It was learned that
Miss Fox has been for the last ten days
HNlnS at the Parker house on Broadway,
and that for several days she has been
laboring under the delusion that someone
has been trying to rob her.
The attorney said she had I'm her rooms
about $4,000 worth of diamonds and a
large sum Of money and kept insisting
that some persons were constantly trying
to steal them. Until recently Miss Fox
has been appearing In vaudeville at
PrOctor's theaters. Mr.. Hummel said she
had been receiving from Mr.. Proctor
81 900 a week.
Della Fox is a St Louis girl by birth
and rearing. She appeared both in anna
teur and professional work there and she
always claimed St Louis as her home.
Ser family lives there now She was
born October 13, 1872.
About ten years ago managers who
were starring De Wolf Hopper were look
ing for a sOubrette, when Miss Fox was
called to their notice and was selected,
opening with Mr.. Hopper at the Br Away
theater, New York, in the opera, Castles
in the Air" In May, 1880.
1t was in the summer of 1891 that she
made her big hit. The production Of
Wang" not only made fame and fortune
for Mr.. Hopper, but it gave Miss Fox
an opportunity in the part Of Mataya.
Miss Fox, the following season. created
the principal soubrette role in Mr. Hop
per's opera 'Panjandrum."
The next season she accepted an offer
to star under the management of Nat
Roth. She opened In THE Little Troop
err and followed this with "Fleur-de-
Lis Later Miss Fox apperaed in THE
Little Host" This was her last opera,
and her season in it was interrupted By

BILLIARD TOURNEY.
Chicago Experts to Try the Three
Cushion Game.

Cushion Game.
Special Correspondence of the Globe.
CHICAGO. June During the week and
next week a 3-cushion carom tournament
is in progress at Green's Dearborn Street
Academy of Billiards. The contestants
are Jacob Schaefer, Eugene Carter, Will
lam H. Cation, George Sutton and Joseph
Capron.
Thus far the tournament has been
sensational one for the remarkable aver
ages made by three Of the players. The
leader of these has been Joseph Capron,
who on Tuesday night ran his thirty
point game out in twenty innings, thus
averaging one and one-quarter and break
ing the previous worlds record held by
Cation Of one and one-ninth. This is a
most remarkable feat and was performed
with apparent ease.
On Monday night, May 28, Cation and
Schaefer opened the tournament and
both players started away at a record
breaking pace. Cation led by several
lengths until the stretch and then Schaef
er came fast, but Cation, who had made
twenty-five points in nine innings, won
out in the thirtieth inning by a score OF
80 to q. The second nights play brought
together Joseph Capron and George Sut-
ton, and while Sutton played a good game
Capron played a remarkable one and
succeeded in doing what no man has ever
done before-aVeraged one and one-quar-
ter
The third nights play brought together
Champion Eugene Carter and George
Sutton, and the result was a victory for
Carter, 80 to II, in thirty-one innings.
This game, it will be seen, was also a
remarkable one, and demonstrates that
it is hard to conceive of a game the eX-
perts cannot master. This tournament
will continue during next week, and the
next important event that will follow it
will be the match game between Cham
piOn Eugene Carter and Lloyd Jevne for
$3.50 a side and the diamond emblem Of
the three-cushion championship. This
game is attracting any amount of atten-
ton in sporting circles here, as both
men are very popular, and the most bit
ter rivalry exists between them. The
match was originally set for June s, but
on account of Carter's recent attack of
eryspelas it was postponed until June 15.
On June 20 d grand testimonial benefit
will be rendered the widow and child of
writer, by the biliiardists at Greene s
academy, 1853 Dearborn street. The
sporting editors of the different Chicago
dailies and the roomkeepers generally
have interested themselves in the move
ment, and The affair promises to be an
unprecedented success, benetitting the
memory OF undoubtedly the greatest bill
lard writer and authority on things bill
liardisuc in America.

NOT READY TO ADJOURN
CONGRESS HAS MUCH IMPORTANT
WORK TO DISPOSE OF.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-As the ses-
sion of congress draws to a close five
important appropriation bills remain to
be finally acted upon, although there IS
no apprehension that any of them will
cause serious delay. These are the mill
tary academy bill, with the important
amendments added by the senate giving
Gen. Miles the rank of lieutenant-gen-
eral, and Adjt. Cen Curbn the rank of
major general; the sundry civil bill with
senate amendments including provision
for the st. Louis exposition, 81, $50 900 fol
the Mississippi river and the extension of
|. the life of the industrial commission.
the naval bill with armor and an armof
factory the chief item of contest: the
District of Columbia bill, on which a pro-
longed contest is going on over a local
hospital, and the deficiency bill 1t is
expected that the military academy will
with the Miles-Corbin amendment, come
up In the house Monday, probably on a
motion to concur without going to con-
ference.
The naval cOnferees have vainly sought
to get together on the contested items,
and another meeting has been arranged
for Monday. Both sides are holding out
firmly. The sundry civil conference
covers many big items, and it is probab b!e
this Will be the last bill completed The
st. Louis fair exposition amendment On
which much interest is centered will he
brought TO an issue in the houses by
motion to concur, as soon as a disagree
ment is reported. No exact program is
i'll view on the other Items, and it will
be largely a matter of conference action
during the closing hours.
The District of Columbia bill presents
no serious obstacles, as an agreement on
the hospital item will clear the way for
the entire Dill. The deficiency bill covers
the fag ends which can be readily al,
justed. The emergency river and harbor
bill, which is not strictly an appropria-
ton hill, has passed the senate The
condition of the appropriation bills war
rants the leaders of both houses and OF
all parties IN expressing the belief that

such illustrations of the folly of declar-
ing a boxer victor because the other fell
low is bleeding a bit. but it is scarcely
necessary. Those interested in the game
will see the point made-that 1t is inim-
ical to the sport to have decisions in the
hands of referees who are, perhaps, ca
pable men, but who imagine that it is
necessary to award a battle to a boxer
because he is the prettier display man Of
the pair.
CHANCE FOR TRICK WORK.
And then the fact must not be lost
sight of that where there is to be a de-
cision at the termination of brief box
ing bout, crafty boxer can play upon
the referee. He can lay back until the
final few rounds, permitting his antagon-
list to do all the leading and all the
execution. Then, when the crowd is all
worked up, and the referee himself is all
at sea, the crafty boxer can sail in and
make a showing that will bring to him
the verdict-because he does all the work
in a few rounds that his adversary has
been cutting out in many. Make the
limited round bout a draw when both
men are on their feet at the termination
of 1t. Decide championships on decisive
results, and the game Of boxing wiz
flourish, where otherwise it will die at
the hands of it's friends.
M'COY AND BONNER.
Friday night Kid Mccoy added another
victory to his long string. He met Jack
Bonner, of Philadelphia, in what was to
have been twenty-five round contest
and forced the big miner to throw up the
sponge in the thirteenth round Bon
ner made an exceptionally good showing.
He forced the fighting and had the Kid
distressed at various stages. But Nc
Coy was never in real danger, and the
end came as expected, in a decisive vic
tory for the Hoosier boxer
Willie Green.
