Hope for a Settlement.

New York. Sept. 6-The World tomor- row Saturday, morning will say that there is strong hope for a settlement of the strike. It adds:
 "The hope for a favorable outcome was increased when early this afternoon President Schwab received a telephone call from MT. Shaffer who said that he desired to speak with him personally. It was reported that MT. shaffer had asked for another conference between the steel trust officers and the Amalgamated Board, and that the board would come here today for this purpose.
 Immediately after MT. Shafrer's tele- nhone call, MT Schwab went to MT. Mor- gan's office, and remained closeted with him for some time. The nature of the news he carried seemed to be highly satisfactory to both him and Mr. Mor- pan"

There was a crowd of rooters here from Columbus and a lot of Georgia money now belongs to Alabama. The two teams are playing for the championship of the two States and will play another game tomorrow. The features of todays game was the battery work of Sorrel and Moses.

GAINS MEMBERS
Monster Initiation Is
Held in Odd Eel
lows Hall.
Two Hundred Strangers Are
Inducted Into the
Mysteries.

Yesterday was a red-letter day in the
history of Druidism in San Francisco, for
in Odd Fellows Hall nearly 200 strangers
were initiated into the mysteries of the
order in the presence of many of the grand
officers and nearly 1000 Druids from the
various groves of this city and those
across the bay. The groves that had the
greatest number of candidates initiated
were Manzanita, with Is; Perseverance,
SO; Hesperian, II; Mckinley, IL; Calico, Z,
and the other groves furnished from two
to five each.
The main hall had been arranged in the
form of a grove and on either side of the
hall chairs were set out in sections for
the candidates of each grove. The stage
was occupied by Noble Grand Arch Ju-
Illus s. Godeau. Past Supreme Arch L. G.

and George H. Bahrs, Grand Secretary

team, comparatively new one, did it's
work in a very satisfactory manner, CIV

who had placed their membership in Per-
severance, the French grove. The team
did some pretty hoorwork, particularly III
the formation of the initials Of the gen.

livered and the members of the team were
loudly applauded.
Then followed the French team, which
In many respects was the equal of the
other and in dramatic effect it surpassed
1t. The judges of the competition found
that each team had outclassed the other
in certain parts of the work, and that,
taken as a whole, each had done equally
well. so they recommended that each be
awarded prize of equal value.
After the initiation Noble Grand Arch

LOCATE DEBTORS
THROUGH MAILS
Scheme Is Worked by
Bill Collectors in
This City.

A shrewd scheme Is being worked
through the United States mails by some
Of the bill collectors in the city. With the
approach Of the holiday season 1t is not
unusual for persons to be notified by ex-
press companies that prepaid packages
are awaiting them at their offices and
the receivers of the information have
visions of presents from old Santa Claus.
Hundreds of postal cards are being
mailed by an express company" that
exists only in the minds of It's promoters.
The postal card sent to the last known
address tells the recipient that a prepaid
package awaits him at the Office and will
postal card giving his correct address -
Uncle Sam delivers the postal to a new
address when known.
The bait is a. tempting one and is swal-
lowed. The express company" has all
replies sent to a post office box at the
main postoff1ce, and the location of the
company" is of course unknown
Persons who take the bait, instead of
receiving a package of goodies are
furnishing their correct addresses for bill
collectors, who use the above means to
secure the desired information.
The persistent bill collector will then
haunt the abode or Office of the debtor
who wonders how his creditors found out
his new address.
The postoffice authorities state that
there Is no way to stop the use of the
mails by the bill collectors in the manner
indicated. They have carefully gone over
the proposition, but the postal laws are
not broad enough to prevent Uncle Sam s
postoff1ce service being utilized for the
purpose named.

MEADE DEPARTS
FOR THE ORIENT
Trouble Of the Engineers
Settled to Suit Those
on Board.

The Tinted States transport Meade
sailed Yesterday morning at o'clock, the
trouble in the engineers department nav
ing been adjusted to the satisfaction OF
the engine room crew. The adjustment
enabled the vessel to get away and means
peace for the present voyage, but the
Marine Engineers Association will prob
ably take hand In effecting a permanent
understanding in the case of other trans
ports.
The action of those of the Meade's en-
gineers who resigned their positions rath-
er than proceed on the voyage short
handed Is heartily indorsed by members
of the association, and while the organ
ization has so far declined to take any
official cognizance of the trouble tnere IS
a strong feeling of disapproval at the
action of the men who replaced the re-
signing officers.
hard on the engineers department., SAID
one member of the association yesterday,
land cutting down the engine room crew
is not only unfair to the engineer officers,
but Is inviting unnecessary danger ana
imperiling the safety OF valuable Govern
tain steam on transports from the time
they leave here until their return. This
makes 1t difficult and In some cases al
most impossible to attend to necessary
oyerhauling of the boilers and other parts.
With a full complement every precaution
necessary for safety can be taken, but
short-handed a great deal must be left
to luck.
"A Government transport" he con-
tinued, engaged in tropical waters should
have an even larger crew in the engine
room than would be necessary, on a
steamship engaged on regular CONNER
cial run. The Government Will soon see
the folly of attempting economy In this
direction. The matter Will be fully ex-
planned by the association to the proper
authorities, and I do not believe there
will be much more heard of reducing en-
CINE room crews on United States trans
ports.
The Marine Engineers Association is
probably the most conservative organiZa-
tion of its kind in the world. 1t has the
respect of the shipping community and is
not likely to do anything which will in
any way hamper the Government. The
association is not through with the Meade
affair, however, and before the next
transport sails there will be definite un-
derstanding between the Government and
the association as to the amount of as
sistance required in transport engine
There is no blame attached to Captain
Matthews, the experimenting engineer
Of the transport service at this port. In
reducing the crew of the Meade he was
simply following orders from Washington.
He understands the situation as well as
any member Of the Marine Engineers AS
sociation, and will probably be an import
ant factor in restoring the old order Of

LOSES A PROPELLER
IN A STORMY SEA
Collier Victoria, From This Port, Is
Towed Into Esquimalt by
the San Mateo

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov 1.-THE collier
Victoria; in ballast from San Francisco
for Ladysmith, was towed into Esquimalt
to- right by the collier San Mateo. The
Victoria lost her propeller while 300 miles
off Cape Flattery and was drifting in a
helpless condition when her signals of
distress were noticed by the San Mateo,
which was also bound north. It was at
first reported that the disabled steamer
was the Northern Pacific liner Olympia
which left here last Monday for the
Orient.
The Victoria was in a heavy sea, and
her propeller clearing the water, her tail
shaft broke and her propeller dropped
off. The machinery was considerably
damaged. The Victoria is owned by a
British company and the San Mateo by
