A BIG STRIKE NOW PENDING
Half a Million Machinists and Metal
 Workers Will be Affected
Employers Not Wiling to Arbitrate Wage Question Except With Employes -l2 1.2 Per Cent Increase Wanted

WASHINGTON.-A general strike, involving directly 150,000 machinists, and indirectly 5OOOOO men in the metal working trades, is expected to take place on May 20, unless some arrange ment is effected in the meantime.
 This is the statement made by Pres ident James O'Connell, of the Inter- national Association of Machinists, who has his headquarters in this city. The demands of the men, the refusal of which threatens to precipitate the strike, MT. O'Connell said, are for a working day of nine hours and an increase of 121s per cent. in wages, or, in other words, ten hours pay for nine hours work. The matter, he said, has been under consideration for some time, and every effort has been made by the machinists' association to avoid resorting to strike, but such action, he says, is now necessary if the work ingmen hope to attain the end for which they are striving.
 Some time ago, through the efforts of the International Association and the National Trades Association, the employers of about 25 per cent. of the men who would be affected by the strike made concessions by a general work day of nine hours, to become operative on May 20 of this year. The question of an increase of wages, how ever, or it's equivalent, the granting of ten hours pay for nine hours, re- mained unsettled.
 MT. O'Connell, however, says that the employers refused to arbitrate the question of wages nationally, but that they expressed willingness that this matter would be settled by employers locally, each individual case to be treated as such. This method is un- satisfactory to the representatives of the machinists' association, who ex- press the opinion that they would pro- long indefinitely the settlement of the question. Upon his return to the city MT. O'Connell promptly prepared the order for the strike, and it was sent out by mail today.
 MT. O'Connell says that about 200 firms, whose employees represent prob ably twenty per cent. of the 5OOOOO men who will be affected by the pro- posed strike, have signed agreements for the reduction in hours of labor and the increase of pay, so that the agitation on the subject already has benefited them materially.
 Fer prudential reasons the execu- tive committee has determined not, at this time, to apply the strike order to the railroads. Whether it will be done in the future will depend altogether on developments.

YELLOW FEVER SUBDU[D.
Triumph of the Army Medical De- partment Over Yellow
 Fever in Cuba.
HAVANA IS FREED FROM THE DISEASE.
The Benef1cent Results of the War on Mosquitoes. ns the Transmit ters of the ContngiOn. Have Sur prised Even Those Who Were Most SaDpuine of Success.

Washington, Dee. 25.-Yellow fever has been conquered as a result of discoveries made by the medical de- partment of the United States army that mosquitoes are the sole trans hitting agency of this pest. Acting upon this discovery measures were put into effect in the city of Havana last February, for the killing of in- feeted mosquitoes in the neighbor- hood of each point of infection as it developed. The results have surprised even those who were most sanguine as to the good that might be accom- plished.
 A single case of yellow fever has occurred i'll Havana since September 2S. although October and November i'll past years have been the months in which the disease was most rife in that city. Since yellow fever sta tisties began to be kept, the average number of deaths in Havana during November have been As. The mini- mum was 13 in 1893; the maximum 244 in 1889. During November of last year there were 214 cases and 54 deaths. Between the months of April and December during past years the average number of deaths from yellow fever in Havana alone has been 410. This year during the same period there were only five These statistics are taken as the basis for an official statement issued this morning by the department of lnsular affairs of the war depart ment, that the capital of Cuba has at last been freed from the infection of | yellow fever.
 For the past century" says this statement, there has never been a | lay during October and November when there were not many cases in tIarana and very few years can be the record for each day during these months does not show several l deaths.
 The general sanitary condition of Havana is vastly better to-day than | 1t has ever been before. owing to the | energetic work of those who have | this matter in charge. During the past II years the maximum number of deaths for November from all causes, occurred in 1898 when there were 2.054; the minimum in 1900 when there were Al, average 902. In | November this year there were AS | Taking the November death rate for the same period, the maximum was in 1897, with a rate of 106 per thou sand. the minimum in 1900 when it was 21 per thousand, average 4S. For November, this year. the death ate was lo.5S, which compared favorably with cities of the same size in the most civilized countries of the l world"

 Three Little Nieces

St. Paul. Minn.. Dec. 25.-Eight- year-old Maude Peterson, Monday night. at the risk of her own life. saved her sisters home from being destroyed by fire and probably saved the lives of her three little nicces. aged six, four and two years.

Two slender lines, hung with cloth ing, suspended over lamp on the table, caught fire. The flames mount ed to the ceiling. Maude, with rare presence of mind, climbed on the ta- ble, grabbed the burning mass and ran to the door. Fortunately the flames did not communicate to the little heroine's clothing.

IN AN 0[D FRENCH CLOCK.
Discovery of an Old Parchment Man. uscript By a Gallipolis,
 Ohio, Matchmaker.
SECRET OF FRENCH COURT REVEALED.
auon. the Substance of Which Is that Adele Was the Daughter of the Duke of Orleans, Louis PhiI- Iipe of France.

Cincinnati, Dec. 25.-The Enquirer's Gallipolis special says the discovery of a manuscript in secret drawer of an old clock in the city reveals secret of the French court, and shows the reason of the visit to that city, in 1879, of the duke of Orleans. afterward Louis Phillipe of France. The discovery was made by Claude M. Wall. while taking apart an old French clock which had been long standing in the storage room of his store. He found secret drawer in the clock which contained an old parchment manuscript in French. wrapped with a chid's flannel skirt. richly embroidered and bearing a monogram. A piece of fine lace was also with the manuscript Upon translation the manuscript purport- ed to be True History of Adele de Alonquon." It bore the signature of Louis de Alonquon, and was dated De- tober 15, 17S9. It was addressed to Adele, apparently to be given to her when she grew to maturity. The substance of it was that Adele was the daughter of the duke of Or leans. The mother died at the child's birth. ignorant of the rank of it's ia ther. The writer was then placed in charge of the child and sent with it to Gallipolis, where there was a French colony. The story ran that he became her preceptor and finally after the visit of the duke of Or leans to Gallipolis it was determined to send Adele to Catholic school in France. The mother of Adele na. being ef royal blood tke marriage was kept secret.
 Mr. Wall has sent the manuscript to the French ambassador at Washing ton. Some portions of the papers giv- ing names and lineage have not been made public.
