Strikers Offer.

st. Louis Transit Company Rejects
Strikers Offer.
St. Louis, June 20.-War to the
knife was the slogan adopted by the
striking employees of the St. Louis
Transit Company today. This extreme
action was decided upon this afternoon
when the proposition adopted by the
striking street.car men yesterday look
ing to settlement of the strike was
turned down by the Transit Company.
President Gompers, of the Fedora
tion of Labor, called on President
Whitaker, of the transit company, to-
day in the interests of the strikers and
remained in conference with him and
the board of directors for some time.
The conference broke up at 1:15 P. M,
and Gompers announced that all nego-
tiations between the strikers and the
transit company were again off. Whit.
taker refused to submit the question Of
reinstatement OF the striking employees
best he could do if the strike were de.
clared off would be to place the strik.
ers at the bottom of the list, and give
them work as they are needed.
President Mahon, of the Interna.
tional Association of Amalgamated
Street Railway Employees, made this
statement this afternoon:
''This is now fight to finish.
President Gompers told me this after
noon that he proposed to turn the en-
tire power of the American Federation
of Labor, with it's membership of g.
900, 900, against the transit company
and fight the issue out if it takes five
years to do it. The boycott to be de.
clared will apply not only to the tran.
sit company, but to every person, every
business man, every corporation or in
dividual favoring them in any way"

TRIP OF THE ELDER.

Account Of the Journey From Portland
to Dutch Harbor.
Dutch Harbor, June THUS far
has the good ship Elder, with her en-
thusistic collection of goldseekers, pro
gressed on her way to the land of
promise. Under iair auspices has the
journey been thus far, and the light of
hope kindles each eye has the future is
contemplated. Many have suffered
from the trials which the capricious
mood of "Old Briny' has inflicted on
them, but not severely; for, to give
Old Briny credit, thus far he has been
very lenient with us. Our time has
been passed in visiting the sick and
needy, who, like the poor, are always
in evidence on a sea trip, and various
social diversions, consisting of enter
tainments in the afternoon and song
services in the evening. Our worthy
leader has been Judge Galbraith, and
to him we are deeply indebted for his
many kindnesses in helping out the
programme. We are also honored by
having in our midst poet, John E. M.
Shea, who has been inspired to write
q poem aboard. entitled, '"The Voyage
of the Elder" Among the faces ia
miliar to Portland people are: W. T.
Hume. w. s. Chapman, Captain Wat
son, George w. Hazen, Joe Ben Lane.
Silvey Stuart, ]. D. McKinnon, Cap
tain Lyons. We have but few ladies
aboard. Among them are Mrs. Gal.
braith, Mrs. Hume, Mrs. Tuttle, Mrs.
Wilson and Miss Jewell.
Captain Randall is quite popular,
and has won much praise by his gen.
and considerate department..
Mr.. Haywood, the purser. and Mr..
Owens, the freight clerk, also deserve
special mention for their courtesies.
As the days 60 by and the trials of sea-
sickness are over, the jollity at meals
increases, revealing many original char
acters. and there is much by-play of
talk. At our entertainments, too,
much of originality is brought out in
the remarks made, creating no little
merriment. And so, day by day. in
our lonely floating home on the track

ures, each hoping in his heart. that
Dame Fortune may smile upon his ven
ture and that he may return to his
friends in dear old Portland success

London, June 18.-This is the situa-
tion in China as it appears to the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express, cabling last evening:
''It is really state of veiled war.
The members of the foreign legations
in Pekin are virtually prisoners, ana
the Chinese troops are only restrained
from attacking them by fear of the le-
CATION guards. Meanwhile, the minis
ters are altogether unable to communi-
cate with the commanders of the relief
column, which is making an enforced
and isolated halt between Tien Tsin
and Pekin. The walls of the capital
are guarded by 100, 900 imperial troops.
The gates are heavily defended with
modern guns. General Tung, acting
under orders from the empress dowager,
says that no more foreign troops shall
enter the sacred city.
monday the ministers sent de-
mand to the Tsung Ii Yamun that the
gates be opened, declaring that other
wise the foreign troops would enter
forcibly. To this no reply was given.
A second message was unanswered, or
had not been answered when the latest
news left Pekin. Sir Claude MacDon-
AIDS latest message says that the lega-
itons are capable of sustaining an effect

The Colombian Rebellion.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 19.-The
Royal mail steamer Don, Captain
Davis, which arrived here today from
Colon, brings news of an important
battle fought on Friday last about 10
miles outside of Panama. According
to this information the insurgents
forces were victorious and some 200 of
the government troops were killed. 1t
is inferred that Panama may already be
in possession of the rebels. The latter
are strongly entrenched at San Joaquin,
near Santa Marta, and all the govern
ment troops at Baranquilla had been
dispatched to Santa Marta, when the
Don left Colon.

st. Louis, June 16.-The predictions
that yesterday Witnessed the beginning
of the end of the great street railway
strike were oorroborated today when
the police department. withdrew its
officers from all the cars and power
houses of the st. Louis Transit Com
pany and returned them to their regu-
lar beats. The Transit Company con-
tinues to augment it's force of nom
union men and its transportation facili-
ties at ratio that promises to see the
system in full swing before many more
days have passed.
Much interest is being shown by the
general public in the coroners' inquest
at present in progress over the bodies
of strikers and citizen killed last Sum
day by mem bers of the sheriff's posse
oomitatus. The testimony adduced at
Deputy Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick
Bohne, the citizen in question, but the
witnesses disagreed as to the deputy's
provocation for shooting. There was
testimony from about 35 witnesses,
consuming three hours, after which the
jury returned a verdict of homicide.
A sensational feature of the inquest
was the conflicting statements made by
witnesses as to whether Police Lieu
4enant Stack ordered the deputy sher-
ifs to fire on the crowd. Several of
the deputies testified that he ordered
the posse guard to shoot, while Stack
declared he did all in his power to pre-
vent the deputies from firing.
The disappearance of Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was startling development at
the inquest. It is believed that Marsh
has left the city. No further search
will be made for him probably, unless
friends of the dead man seek to prose-
cute him. the verdict of the coroner's
jury being practically an exoneration.

to him the witticism which was a propt-
ecy of Voltaire has been absolutely faIsf--

parce qu'on ne Ira guere." During the.
present century his cult has. had a re-
vival unexampled in the annals of litera-

in all this that is fantastical, ridiculous

frothy surface flows the calm and steady
devotion of numberless silent worshipers
Nor is the DIVA Commedia' book only
for scholars and enthusiasts poetical and
religious. Dante was a man of the
world: he had presided over the destinies
of a state; he had studied profoundly the
motives that influence men in their pub

which they sometimes deliver. 1t is not
strange, then, that so few Members of
ither chamber are found in the reading
Ooms devoted ia them in the Congress-
onal Library. When they want books
from that or any other depository they
have them sent to their homes.
The roll of Industrious Senators is a
long one. There are very few who loaf
and invite their souls There are men
who apply themselves from morn till
night with diligence that is unremit-
ting. 1t would be hard to find a man
who can beat Senator Cock
rell in this matter Of industry. He
works like beaver. He keeps in close
touch weth his constituency. Senators
Allison, Hale and Cullom, of the Com :
mittee on Appropriations, are all hard
workers Senator Perkins is a terror
in this respect, although not terrible in
any other. He keeps three secretaries
jumping, the more because he has had
for large part of the session to do the
work for his own State unaided by a
colleague, and because from his long
connection with the commercial inter-
ests of Alaska he has many appeals
frem that district. No one keeps closer
track of the course of legislation in the
Senate than Senator Spooner on the
Republican side, or Tiilman on the
Democratic, and each of them is OBJ
liged to watch the other.
