Get Back.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The strike on
the south side elevated road was de-
clared to be practically at an end last
night. Believing that they would not
be able to force officials Of the com.
pany TO grant the concessions demand
ed when the strike was declared Sat
urday morning, members Of the en-
ployes' union began deserving the
ranks Of the strikers early yesterday
and asking TO be reinstated in their
old positions. In most cases they
were taken back and their names
placed on the extra list under those
of the men who stepped IN and took
their places when an attempt was
made TO tie up the road.
Although the strike leaders will not
admit that their forces are weakening,
the men who applied to be reinstated
took different view of the situation,
declaring tuat there was no chance for
the men to win and that the majority

EVERYBODY WRESTLING
For a Fair Wind for the Yacht Race
Today.

New York, Oct Everyone Is
whistling for a favoring wind today
when the Columbia and Shamrock ii.
meet in the second race tor the Amer
lca's cup.
Interest is tuned up to the highest
pitch as a result Of the grand contest
II Saturday, confidence is supreme om
board the Erin and the Shamrock, as>
II is with American yachtsmen. The
course is to be triangular, 10 miles TO
a leg, a beat to windward and two
reaches or a run and reach. this,
however, depending upon the wind.
The start may be expected by about
1880 o'clock. The official forecast
for Sandy Hook from Washington Is
as follows:
The winds will be light to fresh
northerly, but they probably Will de-
crease toward night and become vari-
able and light
A rafting wind, without too much
sea, were the conditions on the course
Monday while the two great yachts
lay at anchor in the horseshoe at
Sandy Hook 1t was such day as
made the sailors on both the chal-
lenger and defender envious. Sir
Thomas Upton called it Shamrock
weather and said that with such.
clinking breeze today he would sure
ly move the cup a little. On board
Columbia there was no Boosting but
a comfortable degree of confidence
and a certainty that il the defender
wins today there will be nothing In 1t
but three straight. Betting showed
the effect Of Saturdays wonderful
contest The talk of long adds was
silenced, and TO l on Columbia seems
to have been the best recorded on the
general result, while on today's race
these odds were shaded down, in one
instance to to 3. AS matter of fact,
however, the actual bets recorded are
at such varying figures as to odds that
no regular quotations can be given as

Echo of Steel Strike,

Milwaukee, Sept. 30-At a meeting
Sunday of the strikers at Bayview,.
who still remain out, it was voted TO
call out those of the radical element
who recently went TO work. 1t is said
that about 80 of the skilled workmen
will walk out today. The reason, for
the course taken is said to be that
Illinois Steel Co. is not paying the
Amalgamated scale, which was in
force when the men quit in a body sew
eral weeks ago. The result will be,
it is said, the shutting down of two
of the nine-inch mills. Employees who
returned to work when the first break
in the strike occurred and who belong
to the conservative element, will re-
main at work. The Illinois Steel Co.
will not listen to a committee of men
on the wage question.

SMALLPOX AMONG INDIANS.
Authorities Are PoWerIess-Indans
Resist Interference.

st. Paul, Oct. 2.-Sheriff Glaggett Of
Mile Laos county called on the state
board of health yesterday to report a
serious condition of affairs among the
Indians about Mile Laos lake. Small
pox is prevalent. At least 10 cases
exist now and there have been several
deaths. No attempt is made to regu-
late the disease, and the local health
authorities are powerless. There are
about 500 Chippewas squatting on the
shores of Mile Laos on land owned by
a syndicate, and they resent any in
reference.
The village authorities of Robins
tried to keep the Indians from circu-
lating among the farmers and set a
guard over them. The braves turned
out in force, armed, and made such a
demonstration that the guards went
home. A clash between settlers and
Indians is possible.

STREET CAR MEN STRIKE.
Pensacola Electric Company Tied Up
BY Employees.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 30.-All the
motormen and conductors Of the Pen
sacola Electric Terminal railway went
out on a strike at o'clock yesterday
morning. The cars are tied up in the
sheds and not wheel is turning. The
grievance is that the company put a
non-union man on one Of the cars and
instructed Motorman Alderman TO
break him in. He refused, and the
company discharged him. The union
met and demanded that Alderman be
reinstated The company refused to
comply with the demand, hence the
strike. Both sides are firm and the in
dications are that there will be no
street car traffic here for several days.

SAW A STEAMER BURNING.
A Duluth Policeman Says He Did
Also Others.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. AT 6 o'clock
Monday morning John Roberg, a po-
liceman, saw what he claims was a
large steamer burning on the lake.
The vessel was about three miles from
shore, he says, and finally burned to
the waters edge and disappeared. Ro-
berg was at his home at the time and
the members of his family and another
family living in the same house claim
to have seen the spectacle. So far
as can be learned, they are the only
people in either Duluth or Superior
who saw it, but they are absolutely
positive. Marine men can make moth
ing out of it and are skeptical. No
missing boats have been reported.

Hong Kong is fast becoming a manufac-

gard is an example of what might be done
in the Philippines with Chinese immigra-

to 10 cents a day, and skilled labor
ranges from IS to % cents per day. The
wages are higher than this at Hong Kong.

gin for manufacturing. There are already
three large sugar refineries here. They
use the raw sugar from the Philippines
and refine 1t for the markets of the far
east. There Is a big rope factory, which
consumes a quantity of Philippine hemp,
and there are Ice factories, cement works.
