AS Yet on Account of the Turkish In
demnity.
WASHINGTON, December 2S.-The
State Department has receive no money
as yet on account of the Turkish in
demnity claims. Nor has it had any
connection whatever with the deal
which has been made by the Cramps
with the Turkish government for the
inclusion of the amount of the indem-
nifty in the price to be paid for a war
ship by the Turkish government. But
it does know that such contract has
been made and it also has had for its
own part promises from the Turkish
government that the claims shall be
paid. So, if the money comes through
the Cramps it will be accepted, as the
State Department recognizes the right
of the Porte to select any messenger it
may choose to transmit the money.
All that is necessary to make the trans
action proper is that the fact shall
clearly appear on the records that the
money is paid by the Turkish govern
ment to the government Of the United
States, which will distribute it among
the claimants adjudged to be entitled
to compensation.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, December 2S.
The threatened strike of the employees
of the Wilkesbarre and Wyoming Val
ley electric railway will not take place,
as the company and the men, after sew
eral conferences, have succeeded in
effecting an amicable arrangement in
which each side made concession.
The conductors and motormen on the
road are paid at the rate of fifteen
cents and hour, and work on Swing
ing shifts" five hours on and then a
LAY off, of five hours before complet-
ing the days work of ten or twelve
hours. About a month ago the en-
ployes formed a union and made a de-
mand on the company for an increase
of wages and shorter hours. Twenty
cents an hour and a straight shift Of
nine hours for a days work was asked.
The company refused to grant the de-
mands. Then several conferences were
held but without result, and last night
it was thought a strike would surely
be ordered within twenty-four hours.
But d final effort to avert the trouble
was made. and at a conference which
lasted until our ClOCh JnlS IuOIulhS
a compromise was agreed upon. Pres
ident Rigg agreed to pay I8 1-3 cents
an hour or $1.65 for a days work of
nine hours. The offer was accepted
and the conference was turned into a
jollifcation meeting. Employer and
employe congratulated each other on
the peaceful settlement of their differ
ences.
The new wage order holds good for
one wear.

tons for the sale of coal to the French
government. The order, he says, may

tons. Mr.. McIllwaine says he believes
a substantial coal TRACE between this

lished. He asserts hat the coal sup
ply of France is 10000, 900 tons short
OF the demand. Formerly this def
cheney was made up almost entirely by
England. The great industrial estab-
lishments are becoming alarmed, Mr..
McIllwaine said, at the possibility of
this supply being cut AFT owing to the
scarcity of coal in England.

dependent upon English coal, and it
will readily be seen that the French
navy would be at a serious disadvan-

here for the purpose Of seeing whether
American companies could, within the
next six months. deliver upon the or

WHY WAS COL. HARRISON FIRED.

WHY WAS COL. HARRISON FIRED:
Russell Harrison, son OF the former
President, and lately colonel of volun-
teers in Porto Rico, is still in the dark
as to why he was suddenly and sum-
marily dismissed from the army and
no explanation given. The latter the
young soldier is seeking at Washing
ton.
His dismissal came as a bolt out of
a clear sky. So little indeed did he
think of leaving the army that the very
vessel that brought his discharge
also brought his wife, who had intend
ed to spend the winter with him on
the island. Col. Harrison was provost
marshal in Cuba with Fitzhugh Lee,
and was entrusted with a highly i'm
portant commission in Havana, where
he acquitted himself in the trying time
at the close of the wal with credit.
He was also known as n of the ablest
and most careful officers in Porto Rico,
where he was sent later, and was pop
ular not only in the army but with the
Porto Ricans. But Notwithstanding
these facts he was conspicuOusly ig-
nored by the administration at Wash
ington, and while other volunteer Off
GERS were rewarded for faithful ser
vice by transfer to the regular army,
Col. Harrison was passed by. And on
top of it all now comes his curt and I'M
explained dismissal.
No wonder the young soldier wants
to know the reason. In some quar-
tiers it is whispered that j. is petty re-
venge on the son for the attitude OF
his father, ex-President Harrison, on
account of the latter's opposition to the
administration during the late cam
paign. Maybe the truth will be made
known after a few calls among the
powers that be at the national capital
by Col. Harrison, who is determined
to know the why and wherefore of his
treatment, which he has a right tt
know.

ord says:
Chicago saw the birth OF a new ma
tional labor organization last night
whose headquarters will be in this
city. The new body is to be the Gas

ton of America,
The object OF the organization is to
effect an ~amalgamation OF the lighting
trades, so that internal Discussions
over trade jurisdiction may cease and
the better interests of all be conserved.
The gas filters unions In Cincinnati,
st. Louis, Boston and New York have
been in communication with the local
union here and have applied for char
ters OF afflliation.
The idea of amlgamation is in line
with the policy laid down by the
American Federation OF Labor as q
means of settling disputes which come
before that body at every convention
relative TO the classification Of work.

A sHREWD YANKEE TRICK

Government ownership has not
proven a success in the case of the
Guatemalan railroad, which has been
the subject of a deal by which the Gen.
trail American Improvement Company,
composed of Massachusetts capitalists,
will for a modest sum, about $4,000
600, gain control of said railroad,
thereby outwitting the English,
French, German and Austrian capital
lists, who were after the road, which
the Guatemalan government found its
treasury too lean to properly finance.
Necessary extensions will be built and
the Americans interested in the enter
prise expect to realize on their invest
ment a modest amount ranging any
where from 500 0 600 to 500 600, 900.
The road is two hundred miles long
and was a steady drain On the govern
ment treasury, which was unable to
make the extensions necessary to
make it a paying venture. The gov
eminent, however, would not part with
the road without there being included
in the terms of the transfer a clause
enabling the government to regain con-
troll Of the road in the future. So the
sharp witted Americans offered to
build the extension for nothing" pro-
vided the government would turn the
road over to them for ten years. After
that the government will have the
privilege of buying back the entire
road for the sun expended by the
Americans-about $4,000, 000-in MAX
ing the extension from El Rancho to
Guatemala. City. Meanwhile during
these ten years the American company
will operate the road for it's own profit.
and at the end of that time will re-
ceive back the sum expended in the
extension needed to make the road
profitable. 1t was a neat deal by which
the Yankees have practically nothing
to lose and probably millions to win.

ceive for building a warship for the
Sultan, who is afraid to make this pay
ment openly. His highness doesn't
want to establish a precedent of pay
ing his debts which might be incon-
venient in future. His other numerous
creditors, however, may take it int
their heads to demand that he buy
ships from them on the same terms.
This would at least give Turkey a ire
