STRIKE TROUBLE is
NEARING THE END.

Greenwich. Conn. April 7.---After one
OF the most exciting days in the his
tory of Greenwich and vicinity, the in
dications this morning were that the
trouble arising out of the strike situa-
tion was nearing an end.
Today everything is quiet and with
the exception of Deputy Sheriff Fitz-
roy and about a score of deputies. all
the county officers who were summoned
here yesterday have returned to their
homes These men are stationed at
various points in the town, ready TO
suppress any demonstration which may
occur and prevent any possibility of n
general uprising. The townspeople,
however, are confident that the crisis
"a past and that the prompt action ~
the town officials in calling upon Sher-
III Hawley prevented what might have
developed into most serious situa-
tion.

Isaac r.. Nottage was today
granted avdivorce from his wife, Hattie
A. Nottage. by Judge Rogers, on the
ground of desert.on. The testimony in
the case was somewhat unique because
OF the frankness the wife displayed in
regard to the termination of her mat
rimonial relations and her abandon
ment of her infant son.
The deposition Of an expressman was
read to the effect that he bad carried
Mrs. Nottage's trunk from her hus-
bands home to the railway station and
that he was met on\the way by a man
who asked IL that was Mrs. Nottage's
trunk. Receiving an affirmative
answer he got on the express wagon
and rode to the station. The trunk was
checked to Willimantc.
Mrs. Nottage, mother of the petit
tioner, in the deposition testified that
the defendant packed up her trunk
one day and said TO the deponent, Ma
ma. you be good to my little boy. There
is no fault to find with Ike; he is too
good for me, but / am tired of being
a Kitchen mechanic and want to, see
more Of life" This was on July sth.

New York, April 7.-There may yet
be a race between the commanding
general OF the army and the Admiral OF
the navy for the Democratic norfiina-
tion for the presidency. According to tho
New York World Gen. Nelson A. Miles
IS willing to be the Democratic nominee.
He has so stated to his friends. and
ten days ago he visited William G.
Whitney to talk with him about the
possibility of his being nominated.
Mr.. Whitney told the General that all
of the leading gold Democrats were as
much opposed to the nomination. or
Bryan now as they were when he was
named four years ago. but ne did not
commit himself TO the support or the
general. He merely took the matter
under Amusement and said he would
consult with his friends.
This sudden announcement or Al
miral Dewey that he would be a can
didate Is looked upon In some quar-
ters as a plan to head on the Miles
hoom IL is said that arrangements
were made some time ago by promi-
nent Gold Democrats to name Dewey
in order to kill off Bryan. The scheme.
IL is said, was arranged at dinner
given by Mr Whitney, at which Ar
thur Pue German, Richard Olney. Au-
gustus Van Wyck and Admiral Dewey

TO obtain his acceptance.

been effected between the contractors

real disturbers. The men have been
granted a nine-hour day with $50 pay.
They asked for an eight-hour day with
the same wages. II was thought that
similar settlement might be made here.

was the receipt of letter by John O.
Merritt. one OF the largest contractors
involved in the trouble. alleged to have
been sent by a representative OF the
Malta society and bearing what is pur-
ported to be the official seal of that
organization. This letter threatened
Mr.. Merritt with death unless he inn

the striking Italians. 1t was said to-
day that Mr.. Merritt was one OF the

Do You Want q Changer

Do the people want a change
and do present conditions justify
change that will bring back the
democratic times that prevailed in
1893 o6? This is the only issue
before the American people today,
and the sober minded business men
Of the country will figure out what
they want and cast their ballots &C.
cordingly. In doing so they will
have before them the experience Of
two campaigns in the last decade
when the people voted for a change

Lewiston evening teller. (Lewiston, Idaho) 1900-1900, 1900-10-05

About the hardest things Bryan
has to face in this campaign are
his speeches Of the campaign four
years ago. His prophesies Of dire
calamity and utterances Of eternal
warfare upon the gold standard are
facing him now in every turn in
the political road. The prophesies
that failed make embarrassing
reading in the light Of four years
OF experience. Mr.. Bryan can best
explain them by talking about
something else and he is following
this plan exclusively.
