ON STRIKE.
SANTA FE TELEGRAPHERS
HAVE GRIEVANCES.
TRAFFIC BADLY IMPEDED
Every Key Between Galveston and
Purcell Silent Other De-
partments Affected.

Houston, Tex, Dec. 6-The teleg-
raphers belonging to the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers on the Gulf &
Colorado and Santa Fe road, extend
ing from Galveston to Purcell, I. T.,
left their desks at / O'Clock today.
Passenger trains are being operated
on running orders from junction
points and through freights are also
being handled, although there is con-
siderable delay.
The strike has been expected for
some time. A committee of the
order of Railroad Telegraphers went
to Galveston for a conference with
General Manager Polk, to whom they
presented their grievances. The lat
ter was in communication with Presi-
dent Ripley and it is said by the men
that the latter official refused to yield
on every point except that of 10 con-
secutive hours Of rest for operators.
The operators say they expect to gain
the active cooperation of other rail
road organizations.
Affects Others.
Cleburne, Tex, Dec. 6-The Santa
Fe shops here were closed down today
by order Of the company Oh account Of
the telegraphers strike.
The men were notified at quitting
time this evening not to 'show up"
until sent for. This throws 500 to
600 men out of employment.
1t is rumored here that unless the
Santa l0e management acquiesces in
the demands of the strikers there will
be similar strike Of other employees.
A conference of the leading organiza-
tion today discussed this point but
their decision is kept secret

FEELING CONTINUES.
Germans Still Disapprove Kaiser's Snub
Of Kruger.

Berlin, Dec. 6-The German press
continues to disapprove strongly En-
peror Williams refusal to receive
Kruger. Even the pro- British Ber-
liner Tageblatt regrets the ''loss to
Germany's prestige" and calls the
Kaiser's refusal grave political mis-
take.
The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says
there is no other explanation for Ger
many doing England this favor than
political prapayments made by Eng
land.' There have been pro-Boer
demonstrations in Berlin since Mon
day, especially at several variety thea
tres. At the Spollo theatre where an
actor representing Kruger appeared
the entire audience arose and shouted
"Hoch brave Beers, and Down with
the English" There was similar
demonstration at the ReichshalleD.
Count Won Buelow, it is said in au-
thoritative quarters, will soon tell the
reichstag why Kruger has not been
received.

B1xBY A CANDIDATE.
Jim Hill Also Credited with Senatorial
Aspirations.

St. Paul, Dec. -6-Tams Bixby,
chairman Of the Dawes Indian COM
mission, and who has been the man
ager of nearly. every campaign in the
state for. eight or ten years, is the
latest announced candidate. It was
stated this afternoon that Bixby had
positive pledge of four members
from his home county, which is more
tangible strength than any of the
others have as yet been credited with.
It is also announced, but apparently
without the authority of the man him
self, that J. j. Hill would not be out
of sight when the votes were counted.
Hill, however, has been heretofore
classed as democrat, although very
pronounced in his opposition to the
money plank in the national platform
and the legislature has on joint ballot
a plurality Of over 80 for the republi-
cans.
The candidacy of Bixby, is also
looked on as being possibly in the in-
terest of form Governor Merriam, or
some other candidate, although
Bixby's personal strength is very great
and no reason is given why he should
not be considered as decidedly SER
ious candidate.

Increased Wages.

st. Paul, Dec. "a committee from
the Northern Pacific Telegraphers
union today interviewed General Man
ager Kendrick. The operators believe
that they are entitled to higher wages
than they are receiving and that they
should share in the general prosperity
of the company, which has been ad-
vertised SO frequently Of late.
\ It is stated that the operators are
not only dissatisfied with their pres
ent wages, but that they are protesting
against introduction by the Northern
Pacific of the telephone system be-
tween St. Paul and the coast for the
transmission Of train orders. This
scheme, when introduced, will dis

KRUGER IN HOLLAND.
Enthusiastically Received by People of
Netherlands.


The Hague, Dec. 6-Kruger met
with a wonderful reception on his ar
rival here. He reached the frontier at
Zevenar. Immense crowds gathered
at all the stations, which were dec
grated with flags. The burgomasters
made speeches and the school children
sang. Kruger made many replies in
most of which he represented the
Transvaal as little child whom bad
man wished to kill. In one case he
illustrated his point by drawing atten-
tion to fair haired girl in the
crowd. ''If that child was outraged,
said he, everybody would run to her
rescue, but in my country children
and women are being outraged daily
by an enemy ten times stronger than
the Transvaal.'

CHICAGO BECOMING MORAL.
Follows New York in War Against
Vice.


Chicago, Dee. 6-Mayor Harrison
tonight issued an order revoking the
licenses of ID notorious saloons in the
business portion Of the city. The
places were not closed, but their right
to sell Intoxicating liquors was taken
away. All of them were open tonight,
but habitues of the places were forced
to be content with cider, sarsaparilla
and kindred beverages. It was said
unoficially that liquor licenses of AZ
places would be revoked within the
next "a hours.
The action of the mayor is due to
the crusade against vice which has
been waged by a committee Of citi-
zens against the saloons conducted as
resorts for courtesans.
