RAISING TAELS
Germans Think One Chinese PrOpO-
sittOn VIII Be Accepted.

Berlin, May 15.-ORcials here, discuss
ing the answer of the Chinese peace com
missioners, say the fact Of prime signifi-
canoe therein is that the commissioners
agree to the indemnities as demanded and
the withdrawal Of the troops can now
proceed forthwith, but that not all the
foreign forces will be withdrawn at once.
The Chinese proposition to raise the i'm
port and export duties will probably be
accepted, since the only other possibility
of increasing China's revenues is the re-
form of the liken duties, which the pow
ers particularly wish to avoid, because it
would require too much mixing in the
internal affairs of China. Further inter
national control over the customs will
be unnecessary, beyond Sir Robert Hart's.

ERIN UP AGAIN
DisfavOrs Amending Le-
gal Procedure in Ireland.


gal Procedure in Ireland.
London, May 15.-The house of COM
mons to-day, by 226 to 102 votes, rejected
the second reading of the bill amending
legal procedure in Ireland. Timothy
Healy and other nationalists vigorously
denounced the system of packing juries,
by which Catholics were placed outside
the pale of the law. They advocated the
abolition of grand juries and the coercion
act declaring they would prefer open,
honest tyranny and the abolition of the
right of trial by jury to the present pro-
cedure.
The attorney general for Ireland, Mr..
Atkinson, replying, strongly condemned
the bill. He said that so long as the
nationalist members of the house of COM
mons preached defiance of the law and
approved of manning and numbering
jurors, 1t was absolutely necessary to use
the power OF jury selections. Contempt
of court was growing in Ireland daily, and
the law required strengthening, rather
than weakening.

STRANGE CAUSE FOR STRIKE
Six Thousand Cigarmakers Wanted
the Bridge Repaired.

Tampa, Fla, May 15.-A strike of 5000
cigarmakers was inaugurated here to-day
for the most unique cause on record For
two days past q bridge connecting Tampa
with the western suburbs has been broken
and the men had to wait for ferry boats.
This was slow and unsatisfactory. Those
employed on the west side got together
this morning and decided to compel the
manufacturers to bring influence to bear
for the purpose of having the bridge re-
paired Immediately. To this end they de-
cided to strike.
Two thousand in number, they then
marched to the factories In the city
proper and demanded that the employees
come out. They were highly successful
and by noon 5000 men had withdrawn.
The cigar manufacturers will, it is said,
lose many thousand dollars, on the tobacco
already prepared for the days work.

California Man UndergOes a Not

VesO York Sts, Special Sevr1cs
Santa Ana, Cal, May 15.-Perry Taylor
of this place enjoys the rare distinction
Of being one of the few human beings

fully removed an entire lung.
The patient, who is 26 years of age, was
stricken about four years ago with what
he believed was tuberculosis or gallop-

ingly by physicians he consulted.
Fully 240 cysts were removed in one
operation; then it was decided that the
whole lung would have to come out. The
operation was speedily performed, the pa
tient sewed up again with the great void
within and nature allowed to take it's
kindly course. Taylor seems to have re-
covered his strength and is in the best Of
spirits.

Wreckers in Albany.
STRIKE FIGHTERS WOES
Military Men Assaulted and HOoted
by DisOrderly Ones.
NO GENERAL OUTBREAK OCCURS
National Guardsmen Being Distrib-
uted at Places Where They
Are Most Needed.

Albany, n. Y, May 15.-The traction
Strike was productive of no serious dis
order during the night. The company
made no further effort to operate cars or
repair its lines and will probably remain
inactive until the military force called by
the state is in a position to afford the full
est protection. A strong effort was made
during the night to bring the eontending
interests into conference, but it failed and
at this time the breach is as wide as ever.
The establishment of the militia patrol
began shortly before midnight when three
companies of the Tenth battalion were
quietly and quickly dispatched from the
Washington avenue armory. One COM
pany was ordered TO the traction power
house, another to the upper town barn and
the third to the northern barn. When
D company, which was ordered to the up
town barn, swung into Quail street, a
jeering crowd fell in on its hanks and rear
and followed it down to the barn. AS it
halted in front OF the barn a shower Of
stones and other missiles fell among the
men. 1t was thought for a time that
there would be a clash, but the police
drove the crowd back and the soldiers
made no menacing move. The police with
drew as soon as the National Guard picket
line was established around the traction
companys plant and as the night wore
on the crowd melted away.
AS the new day came the crowd reas-
sembled and at daylight it numbered
about 500. The sentries kept the street
clear. The women were particularly vim
dictive and howled out their choicest
epithets at the non-union men who
showed themselves at the upper windows
of the barn.
The first detachment of the Twenty
third infantry arrived here at 7:45 o'clock
this morning and its opening part in this
great industrial struggle came near being
a tragedy. Just after their train had
crossed the New York Central bridge
spanning the Hudson it struck mis-
placed switch. The powerful mogul en-
gine drawing it jumped the track and
went tumbling over on it's side. None of
the cars left the track, but they were
given jolt that shook every man in the
train. There were 400 men in the detach-
ment under Litutenant Colonel Brady.
The entire second regiment under COM
mand of Colonel Lloyd of Troy and in
Guiding 1000 men from Troy, Cohoes,
Hoosic Falls, Schenectady and Saratoga,
have been ordered to report in this city
this afternoon. This will make the total
military strength about 2,2O0
The first active step of the military
forces was taken shortly after 10 o'clock,
when the Third signal corps, mounted, and
a detachment of mounted police cleared
the streets around the Quail street barn.
A zone of four blocks was cleared and a
new picket line established at its outer
edge. This movement it is said, is pre-
liminary to the repairing of the lines in
that vicinity and the clearing away of the
wrecked cars and obstruction on the
tracks.

unable to go, sent Clerk Crawford with
the girl to Denver to find Arthur Swift
and rectify the error. Weaver paid the
expenses of the trip. Crawford pro-
