IT MAY INVOLVE GENERAL STRIFE
 5E Question Among Iron MouIderS at Chattanooga.
NEGROES TO BE EMPLOYED
Foundry Company Proposes to Keep the Blacks Separate, But the Union Men Object Confer
 ence in Progress.

Chattanooga, Tenn, February 1S.-Vice President Valentine of California, of the National Inon Moulders' union, has been here conferring with the local union of ficers with reference to a question now presented to the union that may involve a general strike of white mouders in all the foundries and shops in this city. The Ross Meehan Foundry company recently built an enormous new foundry building as an addition to their plant but separate from the other buildings. Superintendent Her ron announced that the company would employ negro moulders in this building, as they did not think it proper to work the two races in the same building together. The negro moulders are non-union men, and do only the plafneSt work. The ques- tion now is, will the union men work with the same company that employs large body of non-union moulders? The new foundry will give employment to about 15O moulders to start with. The price to be paid to the negroes is less than the union scale, because, as the officers explain, the work does not require the amount of skill required in the other foundries operated by the company in which union moulders are employed. The Ross+Meehan company be- longs to the Local Foundrymens associa- tion, and the men state that if there Is a strike 1t will affect all the members of that association. The matter will reach con clusion tomorrow or Tuesday. Between 800 and 1000 moulders are involved if the strike is general.

SENSATIONAL STORY,
 IN A PARIS. JOURNAL
Official in the Marine Service Said 10 Have Offered Information for Sale-Re-' -;t
 calls the Dreyfus Case

Paris, February 1S.-The sensational newspapers of Paris published a story with regard to a sub-chief of one of the bu- reaus of the ministry of marine named Phil ip, wha Is said to have been discovered in an offer to furnish Great Britain informa- tion relating, to the freightingi of vessels for the Transvaal in French ports, It Is alleged that in the letter containing his proposal he asked 25,00O traces in return for the information. It is also alleged, that the letter was seized on the strength of in- formation given through Dr. Leyds where upon M. Phillip absconded The National ist journals insinuate that he received time- ly warning from the French government and was thus enabled to escape to England.
 Dr. Leyds, however, denies the part at- tributed to him In the affair, and the Brit ish embassy has issued formal repudfa- tion of any relations direct or indirect with Phillip. According to the Journal Des de Bats, Phillip has gone to the United States, where he formerly lived, and where, it is said, he became a bankrupt as the result of his unfortunate management of his bus- mess as a picture dealer.
 The method by which he was trapped re- calls the Dreyfus affair. He received let- ter inviting him to meet yelled lady as in the notorious case of Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty de Clam at a well known cafe. Here, according to this story, he indiscrete- ly revealed his designs to the yelled lady, who Immediately informed the departmental commission, which promptly proceeded to investigate. Before action could be taken, however. the bird had flown.

purse and the man with an idea" He then went on to say that the man with a hoe had been dmmortalized by Millet. Without the labor of the man with the hoe, all the other labor of the world would cease, and t. list that lonely toiler is to list the world
 The man with a pen, the speaker said, was likewise toiling in the service of the world. Without him all the great thoughts and inspirations of the world die almost as soon as spoken. The man with purse IS a type, Dr. Fauncee said, whom we can readily discern. The question is what is he doing with it. If he is using 1t as the mere minister of luxury and personal gratifca- tion, then he is man without conscience, and so a foe to the society which has made his purse possible. If he is using it as trustee, believing that God and men have called him to take charge of what he must soon surrender, then he may be another Peter Cooper.

SPENCER WILKINSON
Reviews the Situation-Says Much De-
 '- pends on Butler

z London, February 19.-Spencer Wilkinson, reviewing the situation, in the Morning Post today, says:
 Lord Methuen's army can now be used to assist the operations of Lord Roberts. Probably the march from Jacobsdal to Bloemfontein will occupy six days. The British right wing is acting on the de fensive in the country south of the Orange river and is now holding it's own, which is all it is required to do for the moment.
 '"The army of Lord Roberts, in pushing through the Free State. will probably have the effect of disturbing the Boer army in Natal, because if the enemy remains there he will run the risk of being caught be- tween the armies of Lord Roberts and General Butler.
 While the two British armies are sev- eral days marching apart, it is possible for the Boers to throw the bulk of their forces against one while acting on the de- fensive with the smaller body against the other. The Boer commander-in-chief must therefore now desire to strengthen Gen. eral Cronje ito the point where he might hope to check or delay Lord Roberts. How far he can detach troops for this purpose depends largely upon General Buffers ac- tion.
 Dispatches from Ladysmith indicate a movement among the besiegers. This may mean that they are sending endorsements to Cronje or that they are preparing a new assault upon Ladysmith.
 Tt is satisfactory, therefore, to hear that General Butler has occupied Huzzar HILL"
