Voted To Resume Strike And Boy
colt Today.
Claim President Didn't
Keep Faith.
He Protests He Did But Vote
Was Unanimous.

ST. Louis, July 9.-Two thousand five
hundred members of the Amalgamated
association. Of street railway employees of
America, met in the West End Coliseum
today to discuss the advisabiIity of re-
Stunning the strike on the lines of the ST.
Louis Transit company. Chairman Ed
wards of the grievance committee pre-
sented a list Of specific cases in which the
committee alleged that the company had
violated the agreement of July 2 by em-
ploying new men since that time. Harry
Bryan, national organizer of the order,
addressed the meeting. Finally after
some time had been spent by the men
listening to speeches motion was made
to declare the strike on again. Before the
motion could be put, j. P. Wilson in
formed the meeting that he understood
President Whitaker was preparing a
communication to the men and it was
decided I'd take a recess pending the re-
ceipt of the letter.
President Whitaker letter to the
members of the union was read this af-
ternoon. 1t declared that a number of
the men had already been reinstated and
that others will be as rapidly as possible
The letter denies that the company has
broken it's agreement with the men or
has any intention of doing so, and says
that the company proposes to keep abso-
lutte faith.
At the conclusion of the reading of Mr..
Whittaker's letter, Chairman Edwards
said it was not satisfactory to him and he
was willing to take a, vote on the ques-
ton of the renewal of the strike at once.
Attorney Frederick w. Lehman of the
Transit company, was then invited to the
platform and protested:
"The agreement of July 2 was entered
into in good faith by those whom I repre-
sent and with the purpose of carrying it
out to the letter. 1 propose to use every
influence 1 possess to see that it is carried
out.
Asvote was then ia ken andft was unani-
mousIy decided to resume the strike and
boycott against the St. Louis Transit
company. It was ordered by the union
that the strike go into effect Immediately
and that the boycott be renewed at five

anti-German attitude of the Russian
press, is considered unexplainable here,
as official assurances have been given
both by the9sRussian ambassador tosGer-
many, Count Oster-Sacken and the Ger
man ambassador at ST. Petersburg;
Prince Ra1olin, that the emperor did not
mean by his recent speeches a separate
declaration OF war against China but did
mean that he would proceed Jointly with
the other powers. a note has appeared
in the st. Petersburg Herald stating that
there has existed Russo-German agree
ment since last autumn regarding ques-
tions relating to far Asia, according to
the terms of which each nation is obliged
to warn the other in advance if serious
separate steps are Intended. At the for
eign office, tonight, the representative of
the Associated Press could neither OBJ
tain an affirmation nor denial of the
report.
The Tageblatt and Loakal Anzeiger to
day publish the text Of the speeches
which Emperor William made yesterday
to the crews of the. battleship division
about to leave for China. Both accounts
agree that the Emperor used the phrase
would not rest until he has forced
China upon her knees. -
The official version Of the speeches is
not obtainable.
The German government fears the
spread Of the trouble in Shan Tung and
distrus5s the Shan Tung governor Yuan
Shi Ka1 and this feeling is confirmed by
Luh-Hai-houan, who oharaeterizes Yuan
Shi-Kai as "a devil, known for his
righteousness.
1t is believed here that the destruction
of the missions in Shang Tung which
were under the charge of French and Ger
man Catholics and Americans woul6
not have occurred if Yuan Shi Kai ha6
been sincere in his professions because h,
has 5000 provincial troops under his con

armed in China, These he claimed to b.

BOERS WANT FREEDOM.
Olive schreiner Says without 1t Pence
Is Impossible.

Cape Town, July 9.-At meeting of
Afrikander women here, today, called to
protest against the annexation of the re-.
publics to the British empire and the
punishment of the rebels, Mrs. Olive
Schriener Cronweight denounced the
British policy. She said she was ashamed
of her English descent and added:
eff the republics are annexed,
peace is impossible. Every trench Of
Boer dead is a grave Of England's honor.
Every bullet making a wound also
finds billet in the hearts of the empire. -
1t is reported here that President
Kruger's retention of large amounts Of
gold at Machadodorp has created the ut
most discomfort among the mercenaries,
officers and men. They expected substan-
tial rewards for championing the Boer
interests, but have nothing. 1t is added
that visiting foreigners who have subse-
quently advocated intervention are be-
Eeved to have received substantial sums.
Proofs, it is further asserted, have been
discovered in Pretoria which promise
startling developments.
