Houston, Tex, Dec, 10.--The tele-

from Galveston to Purcell, |. T., left
their desks at II O'Clock today. Pas.
senger trains are being operated on

and through freights are also being
handled, althou yh there Is considerable
delay. The strike has been expected
for soms time. A committee of the

conference with General Manager
Polk, to whom they represented their
grievances. The latter was in COM

consecutive hours OF rest for the oper-
ators. The operators say they expect
to gain the active cooperation OF other

CHIRlQUl COALlNG STATION.

Washington, Dec. 12.--The gunboat
Bancroft sailed today from Colon for
Almirante bay. 1t is understood that
her mission is to look into the advant-
ages offered by the portsof Chiriqui as
a coaling station. The harbor is capa-
BILE Of floating the entire fleet OF ma
tion, and the water is deep enough for
the heaviest battle-ship. Approaches
were made to the Colombian govern
ment, with view to learning whether
it would entertain q proposition to
grant Chiriqui as coaling station.
Az that time, Colombia WAS not in q
position to make definite answer, as
the territory, including this harbor,
had been in dispute between Colombia
and Costa Rica. The answer, there.
fore, was to the effect that the grant
could not be made while the question
OF sovereignty remained open between
the two countries. Since then, how.
ever, Colombia and Costa Rica have ar
ranged to arbitrate the differences, and

ment OF sovereignty. With this point
removed, 1t Is believed that there will
DO no serious objections from Colombia
or Costa Rica to granting coaling sta

tion Bill, Carrying Over $4,000. 1000.
Went Through UnChalIsnssd

Washington, Dec. 12.--The first of
the great supply bills, the legislative,
executive and ju1iciaI appropriation
bill. was passed by the house in record
time. The bill cares $24. .496. SOs.
and has lSl pages, but there was less
than 10 minutes debate upon it. 1t
required about three hours for the
clerk to read the bill. No other busi-
ness was transacted.
Today under the rules belonged to
the District of Columbia COMMITTEES,
but, owing to the desire OF the leaders
to proceed with the appropriation bill,
district day was postponed until week
from tomorrow. Bingham (Rep. Pal J,
who was in charge Of the measure,
made preliminary statement Of its
contents. Both parties in the recent
campaign, Bingham said, pledged them
selves to economy and retrenohment.
The pending bill-the first Of the big
money bills--was step in that direc-
tion.
Robinson (Dem. Ind.) expressed the
opinion that II retrenchment were de-
sired, provision be inserted in the
bill to cut off the 80 days sick leave
in addition to the 30 days leave now
allowed to clerks in the executive de-
partments.
Bingham explained that such legisla'
tion did not come within the purview
of the pending bill. The law left the
question OF leave within the discretion
of the various heads OF departments.
Robinson protested that clerks ii
the government service outside o.
Washington did not receive the same
leave privileges received by those here,
and he thought the unjust disorimina'
tion against the former should cease.
An amendment providing for IL ad'
ditonal temporary clerks to dispose o.
the accumulated business in the office
of the controller OF the treasury was
adopted. AT the conclusion Of the read
ing of the bill, Bingham thanked the
house for the confidence shown in the
appropriation committee in allowing
the bill to go through unchallenged
and the bill was then passed.

peace conference would not have per-
mitted that in South Africa the right
OF nations, the right OF war and civil
law should be trampled under foot. or

equal combat in defense of its exist
ence."
The address, after long eulogy OF
the heroism of the Beers. proceeded to
liken Mr.. Kruger to William the ST.

welfare of his people. and concluded;
"May your reliance on the Almighty,
similar to that of the Prince OF Orange.

arduous fight for right and liberty. and
may the liberty ,f your nation crown
your courage. Then will Great Brit.
