GIGANTIC RAILROAD
 STRIKE THREATENED
Empioyes of New York Central Have Given the Company Until O'clock Today
 to Answer

Buffalo, N. Y., April 29.-The striking employees of the New York Central have given the company until 1 o'clock to- morrow afternoon to grant their demands If the concessions are not made by that time it. the intention of the strike lead CTS to extend the strike, and they predict that 1t will be the largest in the history of railroads of the east. They claim that all they have to do is to remove the re- straint under which they have been hold ing railroad men and that It then will run through the entire New York Central system.
 The members of the board of mediation and arbitration conceded today that the situation was grave and they did not dis guise their belief that a great railroad strike is imminent.
 After talking with some of the railroad officials, Superintendent of Police Bull con- suited with Mayor Diehl and Commissioner Cooper, and then promulgated an order, de- claring emergency and calling the whole police force on duty.
 An important conference was held today between Commissioners Delhanty and Webster of the state board of mediation and arbitration, and the committee of the strikers. At the request of the arbitrators thS iOSh pollOhi iSiiiiS HIGH are willing to accept from the New York Cen tral were presented. They are identical with the original demand, including gen eral increase in wages and the re-empley- ment of the old union men who were dis charged.
 In respone to the question as to whether a suggestion to compromise would be &C., ceptable, the reply was a prompt negative, and that there would be no settlement un- til the roads agreed to a uniform scale of wages.

WORST OF FLOOD
 IS ABOUT OYER
The NavaSota River is Flooding
 the LoWIandS.
BRAZOS IS RISING AT BRYAN
Reports Indicate That the Great Dan ger is Over Unless More Heavy Rains Fall-Railroade Have
 Not Suffered Greatly

Galveston, Tex, April 29-Tonight's re- ports indicate that the worst of the flood trouble in the Brazos river basin is over if more rains do not follow.
 Bryan, about 15o miles from the mouth of the river, reports the Brazos out of its banks and considerable bottom land over flowed and the river rising inches an hour. Navasota, a short distance from here, reports the river close to the top of the banks. The Navasota river is out of its banks and flooding the lowlands
 Richmond, about fifty miles from the mouth of the river, reports the stream 13 feet 10 inches below the big flood of last June Thompson, a few miles south of Richmond, reports the river running over the south bank and rising one inch an hour. 1t will have to rise. feet more to do much damage. Velasco, near the mouth of the river, reports the water feet below last une's high mark. The river is rising slow and lowlands are inundated.
 The Texas railroads have not suffered any great losses in the destruction of property, and those who have washouts are operating by making detours over other lines. The Southern Pacific bridge at Columbus which was washed out about three weeks ago and which was replaced by temporary structure, again washed out. The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe lost about 2,5o0 feet of track and some small culverts on it's San Angelo branch. About two miles of it's track on the Montgomery branch is under water and two three small trestles are gone The main line is intact. Thus far the in jury to crops from overflowing streams does not seem to be great, but reports in- dicate very considerable damage by a succession of excessive rains.

SITUATION IMPROVED
Sufferers at Waco Have Been Provided
 For

Waco, Tex, April 29.-The flood situation today is very much improved, the des- titute and suffering being nearly all pro- vided with wearing apparel and food stuffs. The citizens, especially the business men, gave out large quantities of clothing and food, which eliminated the suffering to great extent. The principal difficulty the committee of organized charity, who have the distribution of supplies in charge are meeting, is place to house the home- less. Many houses contain several families, while many are living in tents waiting too see if the predicted overflow of the Brazos materializes.
 The prospects of the Brazos not over flowing are exceedingly bright as the river has been steadily falling since yesterday, and is now only ten feet above the low water mark.
 The crop situation is considerably worse than the former deluge several weeks ago, and many of them will have to be re- planted. thus throwing the cotton crop, which is already late, backward about six weeks

WANTS POLICEMAN
 MADE TO MOVE ON
I. G. Hewlett Files Complaint
 With Police Commission
MAKES SPECIFIC CHARGES
Complains That Chief Austin and Off cer Cunningham Are Injuring His Business-To Come Up at
 Tomorrow Night Meeting

The continuous presence of a police off, Ger at the entrance to the stairway lead ing to the Alabama club in Nineteenth street near Second avenue has caused a complaint to be filed against Chief Austin and Officer Cunningham of the police de- partment.
 The complaint, which is addressed to the board of police commissioners, was filed by T. G. Hewlett, one of the proprietors of the Peerless saloon at the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street, and manager of the Queen City Exchange, which occupies the second floor of the same building.
 The complainant alleges that his business is being injured by the presence of Officer Cunningham, who acting under orders of Chief Austin, writes down the name of every person who enters the stairway, with the time of such entrance and also the time of exit. This practice, MT. Hew- lett alleges, prevents many persons who are desirous of patronizing him in his law ful business from so doing.
 The complainant further sets out that he is engaged in the retail liquor and stock and bond business, under license issued by the city, and requests that the commits sioners investigate the matter and order that same be discontinued.
 Chief Austin was regarding the complaint which will come up at the meet ing of the board tomorrow night, but re- fused to discuss the matter.
 When asked for what purpose Officer Cunningham had been stationed at the stairway entrance, he replied that he did not care to make known his plans but that it was in the discharge of his duty as the head of the police department, and that he had no desire to injure MT. Hew- let's business or to interfere with it so long as it was properly and legally con ducted.
 The Alabama club, which occupies the third floor of the Peerless building is reached by the stairway leading up from Nineteenth street and while Chief Austin would not discuss the matter he intimated that the officer had been placed at the particular point to watch persons going to and coming from the club rooms.
 It is understood that MT Hewlett will be represented by able counsel and that he will carry the matter into the courts if the commissioners fail to order the officer re- moved from his stationary beat at the rear entrance of the saloon.

BISHOP HARTSELL
 GREATLY PLEASED His Recent Return from Tour
 Through South Africa. PRAISES THE GREAT POWERS Referring to the Condition in South Africa He Says Much Progress
 Has Been Made Toward En-
 tightening the Country
PRAISES THE GREAT POWERS

New York, April 29.-Bishop Hartsell,
 the missionary of Africa of the Methodist
 Episcopal church in this country, preach
 ed this morning at St. Pauls M. E. church.
 He arrived in New York Saturday, having
 just returned from a tour through West
 and South Africa. Speaking of the situa-
 tion in Africa, Bishop Hartsell expressed
 satisfaction over the success of the three
 great powers, England, France and Ger
 many, in parcelling out the dark conti-
 nent without wars resulting among the
 nations of Europe. He said:
 "England-God bless her-the friend of
 missions everywhere, with Germany and
 France, and some of the smaller powers,
 is bringing the influence of strong, just
 government to bear in regions which never
 knew law before. Only recently a German official of high rank murdered his native girl servant. He was sentenced to some imprisonment. The sentence was submit ted to the kaiser and he refused to sanc- ton it, because the penalty was not suffi-
 ciently severe. A few years ago nothing
 would ever have been done about such a
 murder at all, but now the German en-
 peror feels that his standing as Chris
 tian monarch requires that justice be
 done"
 Bishop Harsell was also greatly pleased with the extension of railways. Some man whom the bishop described as one of the | greatest men of the times" had shown | him the plans for next years extensions | to be constructed the profits of this | year. The bishop told the gentlemen that l he would pray for him. The bishop did not CnU m fh txrac Rhodes, but those who listened to his re- marks seemed to think that Rhodes was the man meant In a few years, the bishop added, one would be able to take a palace car at Capetown and go right straight through 5000 miles to the Mediterranean The country has the richest diamond and
 the richest gold mines in the world, and the railroads would enable the missionaries to carry the gospel to millions of black
 men, who now in their dewilderment re- gard these arteries of trade merely as
 white mans foolishness."
 Speaking of the South African war, he
 said:
 > Don't be alarmed about that war It is
 simply one of the incidents in the history of the continent. The Boers as a people are not fighting the British. Only a small fringe at the north is disaffected Premier Schreiner takes pride in his loyalty to the | queen. Out of that war will come unity. | see clearly a unity based on grounds of 1 mutual respect. The Boers in Cape Colony are far better off when they are living un- l der a truly republican form of government, which they do not have now" It was announced that Bishop HartseIl | had received extensive concessions from l the British authorities In South Africa. He I said he believed that he had been awarded I the most extensive grant of land for mis- | sionary purposes ever made. He now
 wishes to secure s2OOeo or s25,o0o year to l carry on the work.

POKING FUN AT TROOP a.
Grand Junction Troop is Made to
do the Stool Pigeon Act for
the Denver Republican.

The following from the Denver Repub-
own tale. A misstatement is made whom
it says this is the second consignment Of
saddles received by Troop A.
"Anti- miliGarism has found it's place
under the present state administration
in the falling off Of membership in many
of the commands OF the National Guard
Of Colorado. Ia Grand Junction tho
troop numbers only 33 men, exclusive of
officers. The doctrine of anti mlitarism
apparently does not decrease the guam
tity of supplies sent out into the state on
the eve OF senatorial election and tho
possible re-appointment as adjutant gen.
sral OF that great soldier, John G. Over
nyer.
"Grand Junction troopers have just
received a consignment OF saddlss-apd
army saddles cost money. While there
are only 33 men in the troop, the con-
signment of saddles, according to the in
formation at the office of the sdjutant
general, mum bered so. The difference Of
II saddles is said to be trivial and not
worth talking about.
"This is one of the mysteries Of tho
military department Of the state. The
only plausible explanation is on the old
Now England theory that these troopers
ride to church with their guns and that
their families follow behind on their
steeds. These other steeds would need
saddles, and why not army saddlesi
"Other supplies sent at the same tine
were In like abundant proportions. 1t
was probably only an oversight, but tho
saddles are new and desirable The
troopers still have the saddles they have
been using, which are said to be in ex-
sellent condition. and it is thought tina.
new acquisitions to the troop will be
found, so that all the saddles on hand
may be used.
anybody about Grand Junction de-
string . saddle can have one for limited
use by becoming a member OF the troop.
The Grand Junction troopers are blamed
by no one for their luck, and the adju-
tant general is not blamed because it
would do no good to blame him. He
has already been investigated and white
washed"

GIVING GIFTS.
Grand Junction Schools Observe
an Annual Custom of Giving
Gifts for the City's Poor.

There were happy times at tho public
schools on Wednesday afternoon, tho
day before Thanksgiving. From every
direction on that afternoon, children,
their footsteps bent toward the public
schools, could have been sesn carrying
burdens, which they held with pleasure
their faces beaming with kindness, in
anticipation Of tho good which they
hoped to be factor in doing, toward
making glad the Thanksgiving day to the
poor OF the city.
For several years past an ann ual Gus
thank Offering on the part Of every child
in the public schools, who 80 desires, to
the poor Of the city. These thank offer.
ings, under the management of the su-
perintspdent of the schools, and the
corps of teachers, have been most sue
cessful. Quantities of food, good cloth
ing anu cash have been received each
year aud have been distributed with the
greatest care where they would DO the
most good.
On Wednesday the offerings were even
greater than ever before with less ap-
plications for assistance. Over twenty
four large boxes of goods were dlstribut-
ed among twelve worthy families. There
were all kinds of vegetables, canned
goods, jellies, comfortable and clean
second hand clothing, including small
stockings, gloves and underwear for tho
little ones, and numerous other articles
which are helpful in lifting the burden
Of the good housewife, struggling with
the odds against her. Besides the gifts
ten dollars in cash was contributed and
this was sufficient to purchase a nice
roast for all those who received help and
to pay the small necessary expense of
distribution.
Such bright eyes, happy smiles and
wholesome faces are rarely seen as were
those gathered around the place OF re-
ception on Wednesday afternoon and
watched the many good things coming
by the hands OF scholars and teachers.
1t made them feel good that they were
doing good. The custom is most OK
cellent one and should b. continued.
