O'Connell. of the International Machinists'
Union, arrived here from Chicago to-day,
and subsequently held long conference
with the officials Of the local machinists'
union in regard to the proposed strike In
this city. In an interview Mr.. OConnell
said: mo national strike has yet been
called, but arrangements are being made
for one. In Cleveland the men want so
little that 1 cannot understand why the en-
ployers should prefer to have strike on
their hands.
1t is said that $500 machinists will go out
in this city If a strike is ordered. One hun
dred and fifty men, the majority being ma
chinists, employed at the Hill clutch works,
struck to-day for a nine-hour day with ten
hours pay. The men state they went out
prior to the proposed general strike In this
city and before it was ordered by the union
because they had number Of minor griev-
ances which they desired to have adjusted.

charter for a state federation of labor. with
headquarters at Louisville, and efforts Will
be made for the consolidation OF this body
with one at Covington. which also made

charter of the American Agents Associa-
ton was revoked, after a thorough investi-
CATION, it being held that the organiza-
ton does not possess the required number
of bona fide local unions to retain char
ter as a national trade union. 1t was de-
cided that any legitimate local union of
agents may become directly affiliated by
charter with the American Federation of
Labor, one being authorized to be for
warded to the Indianapolis local union
upon application.
James Duncan, of Boston, secretary of
the Granite Cutters National Union, made

eight-hour day. He stated that the organi-
zation was in good financial condition to
maintain the strike for a considerable peri
cd Of time, and believed that absolute sue
cess would be achieved before the exhaus-
ton of the funds. He. however, requested
the financial assistance Of organized labor.

tive council thereupon adopted a resolution
to enforce an assessment upon the mem
bers of all organizations affiliated Of five
consecutive weeks. should it be necessary
for the granite cutters union to make the
application.
Bottlers' International Union was rejected.

day and also appear tomorrow before the

vocacy of the anti-injunction bill. The bill
pending in Congress for the restoration of

PLACES FOR COLONIALS.
Australians Will Be Given Commits
sions i'm the British Army.

LONDON, March 22.-The Melbourne cor
respondent of the Times says: 1.-The Gov
ernor of South Australia has received from
Mr.. Chamberlain a telegram to the effect
that the British War Office will offer Ia
commissions to Australians in the infantry
and royal artillery"
The Times, commenting upon the Mel
bourne dispatch. says: This important
and wise decision to give commissions in
the army to Australians will naturally be
extended to the other colonies which have
so nobly and generously helped us In the
war. 1t cannot be doubted that the gov
ernment's action will be highly appre-
ciated. 1t is a graceful recognition of splen-
did services freely done TO the common
cause under the common flag. The offer
of commissions is only step, and not a
very great one, to a confirmation which all
loyal British subjects ardently desire, but 1t
is significant step. which may be preg-
nant with consequences Of the utmost mo-
ment to us ALL"

TREkKING TO THE NORTHWEST.


LONDON, March "a dispatch to the
Standard from Bloemfontein, dated Tues
day. says: -Four thousand Transvaalers
from Colesburg trekked on Saturday and
Sunday to the northwest going by way of
the Basutoland border. They will probably
be caught at one of the passes.
"a striking feature OF the advance on
Bloemfontein was the abandonment of our
communications with Poplar Grove. Lord
Roberts. confident in the ability OF his
transports to meet all the immediate needs
CT the army. deliberately left the enemy at
Abrahams kraal to do what they liked.
The result fully justified him. The enemy
TO the south were paralyzed by the bold
ness and rapidity of the stroke, and Gen
erals Clements and Gatacre were enabled
to cross the Orange river almost without
opposition"

ranged for the amalgamation Of the Trans
vaal and the Free State. Kruger will be-
come President OF the federated states and
Steyn commandant general of the BOer
army. The flag will be the same as that of
the Transvaal, with an additional orange
color.
Although this story is not confirmed. it
is not improbable. IL is notorious fact
that General Joubert has lost the conf
dence of the burghers simply because from
the first he refused to shut his eyes to the
inevitable result of the war. With all the
burghers in the field it might not be diff
ficult TO secure a formal Endorsement of
this rumored scheme"

PIETERMARITZBUR March 21.-A
temporary bridge across the Tugela at CO.
lenso is now open for traffic, and there is
at last a direct railway service between
Durham and Elandslaagte. The first train
to cross the bridge was the Princess Chris
tians hospital train. This magnificent
train has been badly wanted in Natal since
the beginning of the war. Major Brazier
Creagh's improved hospital train has re-
moved about 1900 wounded, but though
every care was taken the narrow doors of
the carriages and the humping has caused
much pain, which, with appliances now at
hand, may be evaded. There are still over
1900 patients in the Ladysmith hospital, so
the train is not too late.

of the Army Service Corps, sails for the
island of St. Helena tomorrow. in order
to make the necessary arrangements for
the accommodation there of General Cronje
and the other banished Beers. 1t is still
doubtful whether all the prisoners will be

the Beers are sent to st. Helena a consid-
