STRIKERS ARE SANGUINE
OF FINAL SUCCESS,
They Claim That Places Filled Are
Occupied by Students, Who
Are Incompeteut.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 12-J NJ Newman
chairman of the Santa Fe grievance COM
mttee, arrived here today to confer with
the striking operators. Mr. Newman Is
very sanguine about the ultimate result
of the strike.
II have Just received a report from the
Chicago DIVISION" said Mr. Newman.
stating that we have had numerous ac
cessions to our ranks, and that the boys
there are jubilant over the good condi-
tion of things.
Repeated messages from trainmen on
the Chicago division assure me that most
Of the operators are out. Conductors say
they have great difficulty in running their
trains some of which are late.
''The company claims that all the places
are filed by new men. Some OF them
may be, but when the class OF men filing
them is taken into consideration, the sit
uation "a materially changed Most Of
the so-cnlled operators are students, who
never saw the inside OF a railroad office
before, and they are utterly incompetent
20 MI the positions"
This statement of Mr. Newman seems
to be suhstantiated by the difficulty at
tending the operations Of the new men
here. In the Topeka depot office three
men and one woman are at work None
OF these has had experience. The best
one In the number can send fifteen words
per minute and the others much less.
The officials have been in the depot all
day. with loads OF instruction books
blanks and the like. endeavoring to make
the amateur operators acquainted with
their duties. Before the strike two ordi-
narily competent operators could care for
all the business In the depot office. and
have time 10 spare.
In the general office here three new
men are working None OF these has had
experience. Positions In the general Of
nee have been very difficult 20 fl. even
BY men who have had years OF experience
on the road.
Mr. Newman has been on the road for
tive days. and has not been az any one
place long enough TO receive complete dis
patches from all parts of tho system. All
he has received however, indicate that
the strike conditions are decidedly favor
nble for the operators
Permanent headquarters for the strik-
crs have been established IN a Topeka
hotel. where messages can be constantly
received from all parts OF the system
The headquarters will be maintained as
long AS there is any occasion for them.
The operators here appear to be very
iuhIlant and claim they have something
being up their sleeve which will develop
soon.

the colonies under military rule, he said.
would fmperil the very existence Of the
empire. He thought the time had ar
rived for offering the Beers terms not
inconsistent with British dominion. All
ideas of unconditional surrender should
be discarded
James Bryce. Liberal followed on STINT
lar lines. He suggested granting gem
eral amnesty TO the Beers now in arms
as legitimate comhatants. The negotia-
tions. Mr.. Bryce also said, should not
be entrusted to Sir Alfred Milner. who
was the subject of almost universal dis
trust, including at least half of the
queens subjects in South Africa.
Mr., Broderick. the secretary for war,
hotly challenged Mr.. Bryce's statements
regarding Sir Alfred Miner.
Sir Robert Reid's speech, Mr.. Broder-
lex. asserted, was impracticable unwise
and mischievous. The government was
perfectly willing to offer terms for sur
render, so long as II could not be inter-
preted as proof Of weakness and thereby
cause a prolongation of the guerrilla
warfare.
After further recriminations the report
or the supply was agreed to.

The small increase in the worlds visible supply last night, 105,921, against 1761a last year and 2921 153 in 1898, is accounted for by large quantity of the recently ex- ported cotton reaching European mills, and while adding to the invisible surplus, Is, nevertheless, lost sight of in the make up of the visible statement. There was no marked improvement in the finished cotton circles this week on this side of the At lantic, but in iron and steel issues, and they are the barometers of trade, sharp advance has taken place, influenced by the victory of the sound money ticket last Tuesday Now that killing frost has made it's appearance in most all sections of the cotton belt except in the southern part of Texas, the future of prices will be gov erned by the size of the movement and the attitude assumed by the spinner both at home and abroad
