and Throw Out the Life Line" with ex-
cellent effect In addition to Francis Muir
phys remarks there were short speeches
by several others.
Rev. ]. A. Milburn. pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, made an imprisoned
appeal to the men of the audience to prac-
tice total abstinence. There was one young
woman in the audience who was evidently
impressed with the minister's remarks AT
least she indicated her admiration for the
speaker she left the house. She was a
pretty, stylshly dressed girl of about sew
enteen "Oh," said she to her companion,
a matronly appearing woman, 81 could just
hug Mr.. Milburn to death. / think he is
just the sweetest man"
Among others who spoke were Rev.
Alexander Urquhart pastor of the East
Washington-stre Presbyterian Church,
and Rev. Mr.. Jones, pastor of the Black
ford-street NJ. E. Church. Francis Murphy
gave his usual entertaining talk. AS the
meeting was about closing a babe in the
audience began crying and its father arose
with it in his arms and started to take II
from the room. Don't, dear; don't take
the child out said Mr.. Murphy. Bring
it to me; let me hold it, I'm great fell

Several people signed the pledge last
night and there was general rejoicing.

ALL BEHAVED WELL.
Clements Says His Men Retired In an
 Orderly Manner.

London December 15.-Lord Kitchener, under date of December 15, reports to the war office from Pretoria as follows:
 "Clements has come to see us. He says the four companies of the Nortnumberlands held out on the hill as long as their ammu- nition lasted. The Boer force attacking the hill was 2000 strong, while another force of 1000 attacked Clements camp. By 6:20 Q. m. the hill was carried. disbursements of one company of the Yorkshires failed to reach the top. Clements settlement was carried out with regularity, but as many native drivers bolted, a considerable amount of transportation was lost All their ammu- hilton not taken away woi destroyed. He reports that all hebaved well.
 "Broadwood has gone 10 Rustenburg and supports Oliphants Nek, which has been re- inforced. A flag of truce which has come into Commando Nek from the Boers says Joubert's son was killed and further reports their losses very heavy"

OFFICIALS OF SANTA F ROAD
 HAVE BEGUN ID GROW NERVOUS

Topeka Kan, December 15.-Opinions concerning the telegraphers' strike have materially changed today. Instead of the indifference which has ben manifested by some of the railroad officials during the past few days, a disposition to be constant ly on the alert has shown itself.
 The officials of the Santa Fe have at last become convinced that the strike means something. The cause of this is the unrest prevalent among the engineers, conductors a..d brakemer. It is regarded as almost a certainty that some of these workers will go on a sympathetic strike within two days unless the differences between the com pany and operators are speedily adjusted
 The reason of the trainmen for taking this step Is not thought to comprise so much sympathy for the operators as it does for their own interests. Said a prominent engineer today:
 If we suffer this thing to go on un- questioned, the right of the company to do as 1t pleases will be permanently estab- lished and in spite of anything we can do. the rights and privileges of organized labor

POLICE SHAkE-UP.
New York Officials Have Been Changed
 - tS Other Districts.

New York, December 15.-A big shake-up of police offie efals was announced at police headquarters today. The transfers include number of deputy chief inspectors and fifteen captains, including Captain Me Cluskey of the detective bureau, who is re- placed by Captain Titus of the Eldridge street station. Captain McCluskey goes to the Grand Genti' Railroad station. Cap Stephen O'Brien, whom the commissioners under Major Strong had in the detective bureau, and who has since been stationed in the Bronx, is sent to take captain Titus place in the "Redlight District"
 Captain Thomas of the Tenderloin was not disturbed.
 Chief Devery made the changes without orders from the commissioners, or consul tation with them. Every one at headquar- ters was astonished by the shake-up.

will be hopelessly lost It is the principle we are striving for and come what may. the principle must and will be maintained that organized labor must have its rights"
 President Dolphin when asked by an As sociated Press correspondent what was in the wind, said:
 We will have something to spring soon that will curl your hair,i so to speak. What is it? Well, I cannot give that out to- night. However, you may say this with per- feet confidence: The telegraphers never felt so good at any time during the progress of the strike they do right now. We recog- nized from the start that we had hard fight, and we did not go in it unadvised and without a knowledge of what we could ex- pect in the way of support from the other organizations.
 The Santa Fe officials deny representa- tons have been made to them by the of- ficers of the trainmen's organizations.
 According to the best information that can be had, however, representations will be made to the officials of the road for an agreement. Rumor has 1t that something important will result from visits of active railroad men.
