THE STRIKE rs ON
FIFTY THOUSAND MAcHlNlSTs
QUIT WORK YESTERDAY.
Machine Shops Are Tied Up From Atlantic to
Paciie-Striks Does Not Include Men In
Employ OF GOVernmsRt-A Allied Trades In
Sympathy. and Some Have Already Gone
Out With Machinists.

Washington. May 21.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 machinists through
out the country struck yesterday for
a nine-hour day, scale of wages
equal to the present l0-hour day
scale, and other demands. This is a
rough estimate of President O'Con-
nell, of the national association of
machinists, based on telegraphic adj
vices that have reached him today
from the machinists headquarters in
the various cities. The strike thus
far has not extended to the allied
trades, save in one or two instances,
as at Scranton, Pa, where men in a
part OF the allied trades are out No
machinists engaged in government
work are affected. This is due to the
fact that ON such work an eight-hour
day schedule already prevails:
Railroad machinists, as a rule, are
not engaged in the strike, though the
men on several roads are out.
Mr.. O'Connell said last night that
up to 8 o'clock reports show that 904
firms, employing approximately 3d.
600 men, had signed agreements for
the nine hour day or made satisfactory
arrangements with the local organize
tiOns.

SMALLPOX AT sKAowAY.
No Doubt About Il, Syas Physician Who Made
the Investigation.

Seattle, May 20 -1Fgilowing are
private advices received by mail from
Sitka, Alaska, dated may IL:
Doctors Moore of Sl@gway, and
Linhart, of Juneau, have been inyes-
tigating the small pox epidemic at
this place, and the former says there
is no doubt of the prevalence of the
disease, despite reports to the CON
trary. The doctors visited all the in
fected districts, and the Indian ranch,
Russian town and the Indian mis-
sion. DR.. Moore was outspoken re-
garding existing conditions. He said
there can be no question of the seri-
business of the situation. Small pox,
generally in a mild form, is prevail
ent, and owing to the uncleanly con-
dition of the ranch, combating the
sickness will be difficult matter.
In Russion town there were but two
cases, one serious. At the mission
there were found over 30 children suf-
fering from small pox. They have
been treated in the hospital which is
located considerable distance from the
dormatories Up to the present time
there have been seven fatalities, all
confined to the Indians A rigid
quarantine has been placed on the
ranch, Indian policemen guarding all
entrances to the infected quarters.
Guards have kept visitors from the
homes of the two Russians who are

THE TURKISH APOLOGY.

Constantinople, May 21.-Ahmed
Tewtik Pasha, Ottoman minister of

bassadors today and notified them of
Turkeys desire to re-establish the
status quo ante in the postal ques-
tion and the intention to send high
functionary to apologize for the yio-
lations of the foreign mail bags. The
ambassadors met yesterday at the
residence of the German ambassador
to determine what attitude to adopt
in view of the complete submission
of the sublime porte 1t is under
stood that the German ambassador
considers the incident closed. The
other powers, however decline to
regard return to the status quo
ante as an adequate settlement; and
the British, French and Austrian en-
bassies have even declined to transmit
the explanations of Tewfik Pasha to
their governments.

RICH HAY DISTRICT.
Meadow Lands in Idaho Which Produce Heavy
Yields

Washington, May 2l.-A report
has been received by the department
of agriculture from a special statis-
tical agent who has recently traversed
the great hay district of Northern
Idaho. Along the st. Joseph and
the st. Mary's rivers, and subject to
overflow during the spring, are thous-
ands of acres of rich meadow lands
which produce heavy yields of wild
hay. Timothy, where sown, will
yield from two to three tons per acre.
In the Indian reservation the land is
practically given over to wild hay,
but elsewhere timothy is usually
cultivated. Farmers near the navi-
gable parts of the rivers bale their
hay and ship it down the stream to
the markets of the river or lake
towns. The larger part, however,
of the hay raised in the district is de-
voted to stock feeding, thriving
industry.
Much of this district is heavily
timbered, the principal varieties be-
ing white pine, red fir, cedar, yellow
pine and tamarac. Timber cutting
is carried on extensively and the
cleared lands converted into farms.
Strawberries are a profitable crop.
High prices are obtainable because
berries from this district come upon
the market a week after those from
other sections are spent.

ernment will be asked to send out
one of the small gunboats to hunt
for and destroy the derelicts.

Leasalty of the Blacklist.

Chicago, May 20.-Judge Baker
has decided that it is legal for en-
ployers to maintain blacklist. The
plaintiff was labeler and can painter
in the employ of the Libby Packing
company and in February, in company
with a number of other young women,
went on strike because of repeated re-
ducrtions in wages Later the women
tried to obtain work with other firms,
but their applications were rejected
on account OF their having been strik-
ers. Miss Condor brought suit as a
test, and the court ruled that the var
ious firms had right to take protect
i've measures against persons who had
quit the employment OF other firms
without valid reasons.

Alaska Packers Association Will Stay Out Ol
the Salmon Trust.

San Francisco, May 20.-The big
salmon combine is off, so far as the
Alaska Packers Association is con.
cerned. After days of negotiations
between the promoters Of the Pacific
Packing & Navigation Company and
the associations officers, halt was
called. President Fortman and Vice
President Hirsch OF the Alaska Pack
ers Association, say that they have
refused to sell to the promoters except
for cash, and that not being offered
they terminated the negotiations. T..
b. McGovern, one Of the promoters,
in an interview, said
"We shall put this combine through
without the Alaska Packers Associa-
tion. We had figured that with the
options we have, if we could secure
the association, we would control
practically all the salmon in the
world. There are, roughly speaking,
3, 10000 cases of salmon packed
every year. OF this total the Alaska
people put out about / 900, 600 cases. !"

A Struggle at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, o., May 21.-At a
meeting late yesterday afternoon Of
the employing machinists, they de-
cided to close down their plants in
definitely as a result of the strike. A
number of the larger firms declare

hand to tide them over a strike with
out inconvenience.

night, Business Agent Schilling, of
the combined machinists unions, of
this city, announced that the tie up
in Cincinnati is the most complete in
the country. He said there were but

VICTIMS OF CANIBALs.
Particulars Of the Murder Of Missionaries in
New Guinea.

Vancouver, b. c. May 20.-Details
have been brought by the steamer
Moana from Sydney of the massacre
of the missionary party in New
Guiena. The report to the govern
ment resident of Thursday island is
as follows:
"The crew of the Dido report the
murder of the Rev. James Chalmers
and Rev. Oliver Tomkins, of the
London Missionary Society, by New
Guiena natives at Debe, near the
mouth of the Fly river. 1t seems
they went ashore after friendly ma
tives had warned them that tribal
war was in progress, and that their
lives would be endangered. Despite
this warning the missionaries, with
six native converts, went ashore and
attempted to hold a religious service.
The natives blamed the missionaries
for a reverse in battle, and killed the
two white men and all their school
boys. Part of their bodies were
afterwards deyoured by the cannibal
natives. The captain of the mission
airy schooner Niue, from his vessel saw
the bodies lying on the beach with
their heads cut off, but he was afraid
to land. This report of the Dido's
crew has been confirmed by a well
known native missionary named Isai.

San Francisco, May pa cable
gram received from Padang, Sumatra,
from Professor CD. Perirne, in charge
of the Crocker eclipse expedition from
the Lick observatory, stated that the
sky was partially clouded at the time
of the eclipse. The programme was
considerably interferred with, but 1T

been secured on a part of the pro
gramme. The form OF the corona
was similar to that observed at the
eclipses of 1898 and 1900 in that the
equatorial extensions of the corona
were prominent. The sky was CON
siderable darker than on the occasion
of the eclipse last year, but still was
hardly so dark as expected De
tailed results of the expedition will
be cabled as far as possible in two or
three days after the Photographic
plates have been developed. The
