STRIKE IS ENDED.
Machinists and Manufacturers Agree
to Resort to Arbitration in
the Future.

Chicago, April 2.-The strike of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, affecting $500 workmen in Chi
cago alone, was ended officially Satur
day night with the signing by the rep
resentatives of the National Metal
Trades association and the machinists'
organization of the agreement to arbi-
trate all future difficulties. Strikers
who left their benches five weeks ago
will return to work this morning. Flu
ture relations of the 100000 machinists
in the United States. were involved in
the strike, which was one of the most
comprehensive ever conducted by the
association. Members in several other
cities were engaged in a sir,il&r strike.
BY the terms of the Chicago settlement
the machinists in Cleveland and Column
bus, o., and Paterson, N. j., also will
resume their labors. Both employers
and union leaders declare that the ar
bltratlon compact will prevent any
serious trouble between the two organ
izations for several years at least.
Nearly 1000 striking ,machinists met
Saturday afternoon in Waverly theater
TO vote on the agreement framed by
their national officers and the employ
ers. The: ballots were counted at six
o'clock and it was found that 3.O2S men
had voted to ratify the agreement,
only 1876 adverse ballots being cast. In
effect by the agreement the manufac-
turers recognize the unions, members
OF which will be employed in the fac
tories, and a minimum wage scale is
conceded, but other existing differ
ences will be settled by the permanent
board of arbitration. The 1876 men who
voted against the ratification insisted
that every nonunion man now employed
in the shops be discharged and objected
also to submitting to arbitration the
hour and wage question. These mat
tiers will be adjusted within 80 days.

the moor before being noticed. When an
alarm had been sounded and the fire
department responded to the call the

schoolhouse stood on hill and the
water pressure was too slight. In two
hours the building was heap of ruins.
"A tWo-story wing was saved.
When the fire seemed to be about out
Fred Ross, his brother, Will Ross, and
Charles Beatty, all firemen, were in
the corridor on the third floor of the
school building getting out the hose.
A fireman remarked that the west
main wall seemed secure. No sooner
had the words been spoken than down
came the wall with a crash. A rush
was made by firemen for the mass of
ruins. The Ross brothers and Beatty
could not be found. Those who were
injured were found pinioned among
ratters in the west wing of the build
ing, 40 feet from where they stood
when the crash came.
Fredand Will Ross and Charles Beatty
were carried through two floors into
the basement of the building. Fred
Ross was killed instantly. The other
two men were horribly mangled. Their
condition is serious tonight and their
death is expected before morning.

hurrying down the stairs with arms

the boys into "a corner between the

through a window into the basement

A County Line Fight.

County Auditor Minor, of Hennepin
county, has decided to include six Sec
lions of Ramsey county on the tax
rolls of Hennepin county, and if he
carries out his intentions, there will
be trouble for the people living in the
strip included in the three westerly
sections of the town of Rose and the
city of St. Paul.
The trouble over the strip is due to
an error in fixing. the boundaries be-
tween Hennepin and Ramsey counties.
The legislature tried to correct the
error, which was simply clerical one,
but inadvertently moved the line one
mile farther west than was originally
intended. It is claimed that the latter
act is illegal, because it was done by
resolution, when it should have been
done by law. Thus the original act
stands with an error of course, but it
is claimed that the mistake is clearly
a clerical one and does not affect title
to the land.

Especial Washington Letter.

lSpSSAoA w dSN1n&COn Letter.
Il NOLD, gold, gold! Its quest per-
Mt vades the minds of individuals,
corporations and nations. All
men are striving to lay up treasures
on earth, rather than in heaven; and
gold is the condensation and syncopa-
ZION OF earthly treasure.
Mythology has perpetuated the story
or the golden fleece; and the history of
That voyage embodies the first great Or
gained expedition in search of the yell
low metal. The full story discloses the
TACT that there were vast placer min
ings, and that the argonauts found the
precious stones In river beds, Just as
the modern gold seekers find it in the
beds of the creeks and along the coasts
of Alaska.
The Bible tells us that "Jehoshaphat
made ships of Tarshish to 60 to Ophir
for gold;" also that "the navy of Hiram
that brought gold from Ophir, brought
in from Ophir great plenty of algum
trees and precious stones;" also that
they came from Ophir and fetched
from thence gold, four hundred and
twenty talents, and brought it to King
Solomon" also it records that King
David set apart for the palace and
house of God, for his son Solomon,
three thousand talents of gold, Of the
gold of Ophir, and seven thousand tai
ents of refined silver, to overlay the
walls of the houses" also, "the weight
of the gold that came to King Solomon
in one year was six hundred and three
score talents of gold, besides that
which the chapmen and merchants
brought; and all of the governors of
the country, and the kings of Arabia,
brought gold and silver to Solomon,
and Solomon made two hundred tar
gets of beaten gold, six hundred shekels
of gold went into one target. Moreover.
the king made a great throne of ivory
and overlaid it with pure gold, and all
of the drinking vessels of King Solomon
were of gold, and all the vessels of the
mouse of the forest of Lebanon were of
pure gold; none were of silver; it was
not anything accounted of in the days
of Solomon"
But where was Ophir, whence came
all of this supply of gold? Nobody
can tell. The fact that it was brought
by 1.-The navy" indicates that it came
from afar, over the seas. People have
conjectured that it came from Califor-
MIA, although there is no record of the
decentralization of the globe prior
to that of the adventures of the six
teenth century. It has been con-
jectured that it came from the rich
mines of South Africa, where thou
sands of lives have recently been sacri-
feed on account of gold. But, mo mat
ter where it came from, the Bible story
shows that in the ancient times gold
was regarded as the basis of wealth,
the condensation of work and wages,
and that adventurous spirits sought
