|THE STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Their Places Are FIIIedj Changes
viii Not Be Made.
MUST GET NEW OFFICERS.

Topeka Dec. 2i.- President Dolphin
OF tho Order OF Railroad Telegraphers,
has declared the strike OF the operators
on the Santa Fe off, All the striking
operators have received orders from
President Dolphin that tho strike
would continue no longer.
The operators are beginning to spec
ulate as 10 whether they will be rein
stated in the employ OF the company
They now have permission Of the or
ganization to work II they can get
work.
General Manager Nudge would not
express an opinion as to whether the
men would be rc.employed or not He
said however, that the Order Of Rail-
road Telegraphers would not be reoog'
piEed under the present management.
LET the operators get new officers" "
he said, "and then We will talk To
them"
Chicago, Dec. 2A--Third Vice Presi-
dent Barr Of the Santa Fe system, said
upon being informed that the tele-
grnphers' strike had been declared Off;
"As far as we are concerned, IL has
been of long time. We have all the
men we need at present, and we will
discharge none Of them to make room
for any striker who wishes to come
back, These men broke their contract
with us In a manner entirely unjusti-
fable, and we are done forever with
the telegraphers as an organization,
The strike naturally caused us annoy
ancs at first, but this lasted only for n
few days, and then we were in FIRST
class shape again"

HAGUE LEAGUE APPEALEDTO.
Mr. Kruger will Not Partake In
Popular Demonstrations.
WANTS THE WORLDS VERDICT.

London, Dec. 2i.--WilliAm Il. Stead
has returned from The Hague whore
he had a long conference with hr
Kruger and has ascertained the views
Of Mr.. Kruger and his councillors as
TO The present situation and future
proRpects Mr.. Stead has written the
folloRipg for the Associated Press;
"Flrst OF all, nothing Is decided
about his visit TO America at present.
President Kruger has not abandon I'd
all hope of securing the support of the
governments Of the civilized world in
his demand for arbitration. Until the
last government refuses absolutely to
say word In support Of the principles
which they selemnly laid down at The
Hague conference, Mr., Kruger will not
partake IN popular demonstrations.
"Mr. Kruger is emphatic in dlsclaim'
ing any desire to involve other nations
in war in behalf of the Beers. What he
asks Is that the governments which at
The Hague declared their determine
tion TO use their efforts TO secure
Gmicable settlement Of disputes by
means Of mediation and arbitration
should make Au united effort TO bring
the5Serdict Of civilized world to bear
on Great Britain.
"Mr, Kruger AYERS that the provi-
sions of The Hague convention and the
laws and usages Of war are trampled
under foot and he wants to know
whether the Signatures Of The Hague
convention have anything to say on
the subject"
