CAUSES MO INCONVENIENCE.

LOS ANGELES, Gala, December 10.
From General Manager Nevins the fol-
lowing statement was obtained to-day
in regard to the strike situation on the
Santa Fe:
The trouble on our Southern Cali
fornia division has never reached pro-
portions to cause Us inconvenience. In
this city all vacancies have been filled.
On the Valley road six men quit last
night. The places have all been filled
or will be filled before night. On Supt.
DeNair's division from Seligman TO
Mojave, fourteen men quit and on Supt.
Hibbard's division, from Seligman to
Albuquerque, there were four vacancies
yesterday. Practically all these have
been supplied, many of the old men
having returned to work and in other
cases new men are being employed We
are handling our through Geographic
business from the coast to Chicago
with no delay whatever, and all freight
and passenger traffic is being handled
without the slightest delay or Interrupt
ton. So far as the lines west OF Albu-
querque are concerned the strike is
practically ended

PRESIDENT DoLPHIN's CLAIM

GALVESTON, Tex, December 10
President Dolphin, of the Order of Rail
way Tetasraphers, issued a circular
to-day on the strike situation, which
he telegraphed to all operators, assur-
ing them that success would crown
their efforts He claims to have heard
from operators as far west as Califor-
mia and as far east as Chicago, and
that at least 95 per cent of the opera
tors on the Santa Fe system are out
He emphatically denies the truth OF
the alleged statement from Chairman
Newman to the effect that Newman in
structed all the men to return to work
and that the company had agreed to
arbitrate. Mr.. Dolphin says that New
man never made such a statement and
declares that afficers Of the railroad
company are authority for the stat
ment. He says the operators on the
western division in California and
New Mexico did not g. out until six
o'clock Sunday Afternoon.

Henry Mason, PardOned From the
MoundsviIle Pcnitentiary, Chnrg-
ed with Murder.
NEW YORK, December 10.-Henry
Mason, alias George Christian, a col
ored man, about 80 years old, is under
arrest in this city. Detective Captain
McCluskey says Mason was wanted for
murder in Pittsburg, Pa, September
% last. Peter Hoben and some other
white men, while on their way home.
saw some colored men at Short Alley
and Forbes street, Pittsburg. They
made some remark about the colored
men and Mason, it is alleged, pulled
a revolver and fired, killing Hoben.
Mason then fed.
When arrested Mason denied he was
the man wanted. Detective White
house, of Pitt5burg, reached here to-
day with one of the men in the crowd
with Hoben, and this man identified
Mason as the man who had shot Ho-
ben.
Mason, it is declared was sentenced
in 1889 to the Moundsville, W. Va,
prison for life for arson and murder
and was pardoned out by Governor At
kinson after he had served ten years.

An Officer wounded in the Pursuit
Made His Escape.

LCGANSPORT, Ind, December TO-.
Cnlet OF Police James Foley and Patrol
men Barney BuTch, Dick Costello, Ben
Dean and George Graham pursued a
desperate for six miles this evening,
shooting at him at every opportunity.
The man, who is believed to be Marvin
Kuhrs, am escaped convict, returned

the fugitive turned, and, walking to-
ward Dean, who had no more ammuni-
ton, warned him that he would kill
him. The officer advanced, sprang at
the man and caught him by the wrist,
wihereupcn the fugitive placed a wea-
pom against Deans breast and fired.
The wounded officer fell, and while his
brother officers were caring for him the
desperate escaped. Later a posse of
officers and citizens armed with e'hot-
guns and revolvers started out to find
the fugitive 1t is Thought he cannot
escape, as l9he towns and country have
been warned for miles around. Kuhns
escaped from the penitentiary at Co.
lumbus, Chic, Thanksgiving day. He

|hRFE SYSTEM.
OF THE RAILROAD
FRO BE HANDLING ALL
TRAFFIC ON TINE.
ZLEGRAPHERs CLAIM VICTORY
OFFICIALS OF ORDER OF RAILWAY
TELEGRAPHERS CLAIM S5
PER CENT. ARE OUT.

CHICAGO, December 10.-Oficials
of the Santa Fe system claim that the
telegraphers' strike on their lines is
practically over and point to the fact
that almost without exception their
passenger trains were Oh time to-day
and that freight was being handled in
volume as great as before the strike
was inaugurated.
Third Vice President Barr, of TIE
Santa Fe system made the following
statement tonight:
1--WE have all the men We want west
of Albuquerque, but are short from
250 to 300 men on the lines east Of
that point We have been hiring men
all day and at the present rate will
have a full complement within three
days. The train due here at $50 a.
N. to-day, was the only train that was
late and that but twenty minutes.
ION the average, our passenger
trains have reached Chicago as nearly
on time as though there were not a
strike. We are accepting all freight
offered and are moving most of it.
Fruit shippers have been notified of
our ability to handle shipments up TO
the capacity OF our equipment. All
of the important Offices have been fill
ed and all through business has been
handled by orders from these points.
1--WE have no quarrel with the organ
ization known as the Order Of Rail-
way Photographers. Our fight is with
the individuals who went out. Seventy
five per cent of the men who refused
to strike were members of the order
and these will be retaind and promot-
ed. Those who struck will not be
re-engaged. although some who went
back Immediately will be retained"

GALVESTON, Texas. December TO-
Dolphin, of the o. R. T.. made the fol-
lowing statement this afternoon:
mo trains arrived at Purcell to-day.
The south-bound limited was made up at
Purcell with three day coaches. The
through train from Chicago has been lost
somewhere in the Indian Territory. There
are now about 200 men out on the Atchi-
son system, comprising 9e per cent. of the
telegraph employees on six separate rail-
way lines. All ticket and freight agents
at large stations south of the Gulf lines
walked out to-day, totally exhausted, and
is settled

ANOTHER HOLD UP.
Daring Robbery Perpetrated in
the Heart of DelIaire Last Night.

the Heart of BelIaire Last Night.
Bellaire had another 'hold-up last
night, which makes two in one week,
and a record that has not been equaled
en- this side OF the river, and smacks of
Cae western frontier. The store visit
ed last night was that of Mr.. Lidhtig. of
Union street. At about seven O'Clock
two men entered the store. and after
hooking over some goods one of the men
drew revolver en- Mr.. LiChtig and the
other picked up a bundle of pants and
started cut with them but both got
scared and the man with the bundle
dropped Dit and the other put his gun in
his pocket and both run from the store.
Mr. Lich'tig called the police, but the
men had made their escape, and I'D to
a late hour this morning no clue as to
their identity had been discovered. Mi.
Llchitig said both men were tall and
well dressed, and that he thought he
could identify the parties II he saw
Them. The police made a careful search
over the city, but failed to find the
parties. Five well looking buns were
seen in the city yesterday and it IS
supposed that these men are the people
connected with this attempted robbery.
The police of the different cities were
all notified, but up to a late hour last
night no arrests had been made and it
is doubtful if they can be caught
Bellaire seems to have become a CEN
tire Of these acts, and the buns are
working it for all 1T is worth, and gem
orally escape the officials, The police
are not able to cope with this mob OF
thieves owing 20 the large amount OF
territory they have to cover.

Fe system, division of o. R. T., made
the following statement for the Asso-
ciated Press tonight:
THE situation on the Santa Fe so
far as the telegraphers are concerned,
is excellent A forged telegram sent
over the line by the officials to-day in
a vain effort to get the men back, has
done us very little or no damage. The
statement sent out by the officials
that no strikers would be re-employed
is of no force or consequence, for there
are not enough idle telegraphers in
the country to fill our places and the
company will be compelled to take
them all back, win or lose

MIR. Hay, the American
Estate, has secured an out
diplomatic victory in obliging
ers, Germany included, to yield
parguments in favor OF more mod

tariers. This clearly defined defeat is
especially bitter here, because Emperor
William had set his heart ON imposing
the most humiliating conditions upon
the Chinese and thus emphasizing Ger
many's power in their eyes.
The German government has not

The French have abandoned Their
operations to remove astrcnimical In
strumer,-s from the wall Of Pekin, pre-
sumably in order to impress the Chi
nese with their comparative clemency;

strumerts under the protection OF a
company of engineers.
