THE READING STRIKE.
Hen Vote to Rejest Company's ProI
 OsitiOn.

Aeh vote 10 AeJeSt COmpaAy,B ExOQ-
 ositiOn.
 READING, Pa, July 9.-Indications are that the strike of Reading railroad shop hands will continue for an indefinite period. The vote by which the second proposition of Acting President Welsh was rejected at the afternoons meeting was unanimous, though 1000 men were present MT. Welsh proposed that the shop hands go back this morning, the trouble to be settled under the terms agreed to by President Baer, and the men to receive three additional days pay. The freight handlers, he proposed, should return at the same time, with the assur- ance that their grievance would be fully considered. These propositions the meet ing rejected, and the men say that they will hold out for definite terms as to wages and the recognition of the union.
 It was rumored that Mr. Welsh had made a third proposition to the men, but this proved incorrect when inquiry was made at the executive committee's head quarters. The members of the committee, it is said, expect ta hear from the com pany again. If they do Iot receive fur ther propositions from the company, the committee believe they will receive re-en- forcements from a quarter which will help their cause The efforts of the com pany officials to get the men to come back has given the latter courage to remain firm in their stand.
 In accordance with the vote not a man, either shop hand or freight handler, went back this morning. All the meetings are secret, no one being admitted unless he can show union card.

CUBAN SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Connecticut Expected to Train Some
 at Normal Schools.


 at Normal Schools.
 At the last session of the general as sembly the United States governments bureau of education transmitted to the Connecticut state board of educa- tion a communication from the educa- tional authorities of the island of Cuba asking that scholars of the island might be given opportunities for educa- tion as teachers. General George NJ. Darlington of Winsted, member of the state board of education, became interested in the matter and under his efforts this resolution was adopted by the legislature during the closing days of the session:
 Resolved, That the state board of education be authorized to receive as pupils in the state normal schools of the state not more than fifty students from Cuba, recommended by the de- partment of education of Cuba and ap- proved by the United States govern ment; said students to be received un- der such conditions as said board of education may prescribe.'
 Secretary Hine of the state board of education said yesterday that soon after the passage of the resolution he wrote to the authorities in Cuba, and he has since been expecting to hear from them as to their plans for send ing pupils to this country for training as teachers, but that he had heard nothing as yet.

The Plague In China.

WASHINGTON, July 9. Consul Johnson at Annoy, China, to the secretary of state reports the appearance of plague at that place two weeks earlier than usual this year. His statement is dated May IA. He says he has refused to permit Chinese steerage passengers to depart for Manila and adds: "The spread of plague during the past ten days has been rapid and the fatalities most appalling. It is impossible to give approximately accurate data, as no statistics are kept by the officials, and no amount of inquiry can result in accurate figures. It is my opinion, based upon the most reliable data from native sources, that during the week just closed there were as many as 100 deaths per day in Annoy and it's suburbs. The same condi- ton of affairs exists in surrounding cities within 30 miles of Amoy'

 Their Demand.

Their Demand.
 The Central Labor union of Hart ford, acting for the Sorters' and Pack CTS union, which consists of girls em- ployed in that kind of work at the Capewell Horse Nail Co.'S factory, have made demand on the company that the girls receive an increase of pay equal to p per cent additional to pres ent rates. There are POO girls in the Packers and Sorters' union. The ma chine department of the factory was shut down July 1 for two weeks to clean up, etc, but the girls have been regularly employed sorting and pack ing the nails already made up, of which the company has a large stock on hand. On the girls side of the case it is alleged that letters have been received from girls employed in other nail factories i'll the country that a higher rate of pay is received there than at the Hartford factory for sim liar class of work. The girls employed in Hartford make about SC a. week, and it is said that girls in other fac tories are paid as high as $9 a week. The Central Labor union has taken hold of the matter and, it is said, ex- poets that the matter will be settled without 8 strike.

AIR COUPLING BROKE.
Topsy Turyy Toss About of Cars on
 Shore Line.

Clinton, July 9-At about 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning train No 93, out of New Haven, on the Shore Line division, met with a mishap about 114 miles west of the station here An air brake coupling near the front of the train broke and suddenly stopped the train by the application of the brakes. Twelve cars were derailed and seven of them were smashed up. Among them were two oil tanks, one of which was broken open, the oil spilling over the tracks. One car was thrown on top of a flat car better than it could have been done with a. derrick. The wrecking train came out from New Haven, and after about three hours work had both tracks clear.
 Three tramps were in one of she cars asleep and were thrown out into the meadows. but were not hurt. One brakeman was on top of car, but he jumped to the meadows and escaped without any injury except a few srcatches.
