FOR A STRIKE
MACHINIsTs WILL GO OUT MONDAY
UNLESS DEMANDS ARE MET.
Ia Railroad Companies VIII Be
Affected by the Order-One
Hundred New Members.

All machinists employed in the city will
be ordered to lay down their tools and
quit work Monday morning unless the
firms they work for have signed the agree
ment granting them a nine-hour day and
121a per cent. increase, or negotiations pend
ing A settlement are in progress. This was
the decision of the meeting of the Machin-
lists Union held in Germania Hall last
night You can say" said Business Agent
Collins, that the machinists will be or
dered out Monday morning unless our de-
mands are granted by the firms with which
we have had negotiations. We are standing
firm in our demands. and the nearer the
time approaches for the last day of settle
ment the frmer our stand. 1t is TO be
hoped that the firms will sign the scale
and avert a strike. but otherwise the union
will carry out the order of President O'Con-
nell.'
The meeting last night was one of the
largest the machinists of this city ever
held. and about 100 new members were
taken in. This brings the total membership
up 10 between 500 and 800. Business Agent
Collins says 20 per CEN. of the machinists
OF the city are now in the union, and that
by Monday the city will be solidly organ
lied. The Atlas engine works, r.. g. ATKINS
q Co., Dukes * Berry and the nj. II.
i1oWdru hldcnlne Company, al eHhPioSihS
about 300 men, have signed the scale, and
a strike will not affect them. Negotiations
are pending between the union and other
firms, and 1t IS believed some of them at
least will sign the scale before Monday.
The strike order may be held in allegiance
with firms that have shown a disposition
to meet the union in negotiations.
The railroad shops also will be affected,
the Big -Four being the first on the list
where the union will attempt to enforce its
order. The demands were presented to the
Big Four. but nothing in the way of a
settlement has been accomplished. The
shops of the L., ID. a. w. have been organ
lied and a committee will demand the new
scale OF the company to-day. Negotiations
are pending between the union and the
Pennsylvania Company. The three shops
employ about $50 men.
A mass meeting, open to all machinists,
will be held i'm Germania Hall tomorrow
night, when IL is said final action Will be
taken regarding the order of President
OConnell TO strike Monday unless the de-
mands of the union are granted.

DEPEW, JR., DISPLEASED.
Badly Broken Up Over His Fathers
Marriage.

New York, Dec. 3o.-The World says:
Though many news dispatches were re-
ceived in New York announcing the civil
marriage of Senator Chauncey NJ De-
pew and Miss May Palmer, at Nice,
France his family and friends here re-
cefved nc word by cable.
Chauncey NJ Depew, Jr.. better known
as Buster" very frankly said that he
hadn't heard from his father. He added
that both he and his cousins. Miss Anne
Hageman, the senator's nieces, were en-
tirely dependent upon the newspaper for
information about the wedding.
1t is an open secret that Senator De-
pew's second matrimonial venture is
viewed with dissatisfaction by the Depew
household. This has consisted of BUS
ter" Depew, the son; Miss Hageman and
Miss Paulding. These two young nieces
of the senator. his sisters children, have
been brought up as if his own daughte
Senator Depew superintendent their
debuts in society, gave dances for them,
and when he went to Washington as Uni
ted States senator he took them along to
Corcoran house. his mansion, on La
fayette square.
But they will not be there this winter:
neither will Buster Depew.
Heretofore Buster has nearly always
gone with his father on his European
trips. He did not accompany the senator
on this latest journey He did not pick
any wedding present himself; his father
left that to the brides selection, and the
stepson does not even know 1t is.
The boy is all broken up about it,

friends, summing UP the situation

Dissolution of Chinese Empire Finally
to Be Accomplished.


New York, Dec. 3o.-Charles F. Gam
mon, superintendent of Colporteurs for
the American Bible society in Northern
China, writes to the society concern
ing the present situation in the Chinese
empire. as follows:
while at Shanghai, I observed that
the Chinese government was openly vio-
lating the provisions of the protocol.
The great empire would shake off Eu-
ropean Thousands of boat
were passing weekly up the Yangt6e
Kiang and the a~rsenals were being en-
larged and worked day and night.
Cargoes of explosives were being re-
ceived and the dowager empress had
ssued instructions to all officials to re-
cruit the army and also to inform her
as to the fighting strength OF each d.
trate the forces at a given point. There
were and are many other unpromising
features which weighed heavily upon
the minds of those interested. / must
believe that the end is not yet and that
within ten years and possibly within
five q war will ensue, the like of which
the world has never known. Fol CEN
attempts to expel the foreigner, each
time profting by past experience, each
time with more power n success,
each time better equipped and better
planned. h is now preparing as
never before. buying vast quantities of
superior weapons and reorganfzing her
armies on a correct basis. Therefore
the next atteHpt will begin with in
creased force. 1t will result in a uni
versal upheaval and the NJ dismem-
berment of this empire at a terrible
cost"

GIVE IT UP.
Washington People Don't Ex-
pect Wilson to &c.
That Means Coburn Will Not Be
Appointed.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 30.-It was
here on Friday upon infor-
nation from Omaha that f. d. Coburn
was soon to enter President Rooseveits
cabinet as secretary of agriculture, but
it is now vigorously denied. The Star
says: Mr.. Wilson himself is not known
to have any i~nclinations to leave the
cabinet circle. The Kansas friends or
Mr.. Coburn are therefore believed to be
decidedly premature. The Coburn story
has several times before come out of the
west, as far back as a year or more
ago, and at a time when there was not
the slightest likelihood of Mr.. Wilson
withdrawing himself from official hfe."
Mr.. Bowersock, asked concerning
the matter, said that he had no kncwl-
edge of Mr.. Coburn's probable connec--
ton with the cabiAet, but the people of
Kansas would undoubtedly be for Mr..
Coburn in the department of agricui-
ture. The Star further says that the
president announced to his cabinet a
most positive denial of the report
