CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLES.
Efforts For a Settlement Continue.
Muchinists Enlisting In Navy.


Chicago, March 20.-President James
O'Connell and his assistants, represent
ing the International Association of Ma
chinists, after lengthy conference pre-
pared two general circulars to be sent to
the organization at large. One reviews
the situation at Chicago, and the other
relates to the financial resources of the
machinists' organizations and their abil-
ity to carry on a strike.
President O'Connell's assistants have
left for various cities where the indus
trial conditions are unsettled. He will go
to Cleveland at once, intending to return
on Friday.
I'VE have not given up hope for a set
tlement," said Mr. O'Connell, ''and shall
continue our efforts in that direction"
The Morgan Gardner electrical works
have resumed operation under an agree
ment with the machinists' union, which
settled all of the difficulties.
1t is probable that several hundred Chi
cago mechanics, out of employment on
account of the prevailing strikes in all
branches of the building trades, will soon
be drawing wages as employees of the
United States. Captain Blocklinger of
the naval recruiting station here has re-
Gently received so many applications for
enlistment from mechanics that he ad-
vised the navy department of this fact
and has received orders to enlist an un-
limited number of first and second class
machinists for the battleships now being
built. Lieutenant Commander r. G. Reed
of the Norfolk navy yard has been order
ed to Chicago to examine the recruits.
The pay of machinists in the navy ranges
from $40 to $40 month, including ra-
tions.

in this county this avocation offers special

public land that can be made into produce

the choicest has long been taken, yet the
foothills have many acres here and there
open to location under the public land
laws. Then there are always good
ranches to be had at more or less reason

increasing development of the county
there comes also more openings for bust

Hawks After Game.
From the London Spectator.

One female bird in her first season took
80 rabbits, 5 hares and magpies, and in
the next year 210 rabbits, ? leverets, IL
partridges, 1 magpies and , squirrels.
One owned by the late Mr.. T. J. Mann,
of straightforward, caught in one season
100 rabbits, 8 pheasants, | hare, par
fridge, 3 squirrels and - water hens.
Another which belonged to Sir Henry
Boynton, 364 head \ goshawk will go
on catching rabbit after rabbit, or take FIVE
or six birds in succession, for they do not
tire ike falcons. Nothing comes amiss to
them Hares, landrails, pheasants, rab
bits, water fowl, ducks, rats, stoats, wea
sells, mice, even a hedgehog is not despised.
Their headlong courage is simply astonish-
inc. They will charge into quickest
hedge till they have to be cut out, or dive
among rocks and boulders. Capt. Bland,
of Draycott, near Stoke on Trent, had a
goshawk which stuck to a hare till it twice
rolled head over heels. Then the hawk
flew after it again and was shaken of,
while the hare escaped into a flock of sheep.
The same bird, pursuing rabbit, flew
right down large hole in the side Of 4
quarry aud dragged the rabbit out of it.
The .'smash with which biz hen gos
hawk goes into an evergreen tree after a
pigeon sounds as if a football had been
violently kicked into the branches.
