RArLRoAD s7RIME IMMINENT.
The New Jersey Central May Yet be
Tied Up.

New York, April Tn the opinion Of
a good many people a strike is immi-
nent on the Central Railroad of New
Jersey system. This opinion is based
on the fact that Chief P. M. Arthur, of
the brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, left the city tonight for his
home In Cleveland, and Chief Frank
P. Sargent, Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen, was preparing to-
night to leave the city also. Added to
this was a statement made by E., e.
Clark, chief Of the Brotherhood Of Con-
ductors, who said that he certainly
would sanction any action of his men,
meaning the conductors of the road
might see fit to make. He added that
he knew Of only one time In the history
Of railroad strikes where the sanction
Of the executive chiefs had been with
drawn.

RUSSO O-CHINESE RELATIONS
Il PROBABILITY THAT THEY MAY
RE BROKEN OFF.
Russian Minister at PeIsin Said to Have
cations from the Chinese Com M mission-
ers-Washingt0n Perplexed Over the
News Which is Believed to be Com
tained in a Cable Dispatch from Pektn

Washington, April THE admins
tration is perplexed over a cable dis
patch received yesterday from Mr..
Squiers now in charge of the American
legation in Pekin. This despatch, ac1
cording to publication to-day, said
that the Russian minister refuses to
receive official communications from
Chinese commissioners, which carried
the inference that diplomatic relations
between the two countries interested
would be broken off. The officials are
very reticent about the matter and de-
cline to affirm or deny whether it Is
correctly stated. They will go only SO
far as to admit the receipt of a dis
patch whose purport was not clearly
understood, for which reason it was not
given to the press for publication.
Another cablegram which reached
here to-day from Mr.. Rockhill, the spe-
cial commissioner of the United States
engaged in conducting the peace nego-
tiations, made no reference to the al
legged refusal Of the Russians to- receive
official communica tions from the Chi
nese commissioners.
At the Russian embassy no informa-
tion on the subject was obtainable to-
night The impression of the officials at
the embassy was that no special sig
nificance attached to the Squiers dis
patch. According to them it simply
meant that the Russians had discon-
tinued further negotiations at this time
on the Manchurian question alone,
which for the time is held in allegiance.
This was in accord with the spirit of
the official publications of the govern
mef1t on this matter, which asserted
that remaining faithful to it's original
and oft repeated political programme
regarding Manchuria ut will quietly
await further course of events"

ALL bur ONE OF GREY LOST.
Schooner Wendail Burpec Wrecked ON
tho Maine Consf.

Portland, Me-, April. 27. The two
masted schooner wendall Burpee of St.
John, N. b., went ashore off Cape Eliz-
abeth shortly before IL o'clock this
noon, the captain, cook. and one sailor
being drowned, while the mate only
was saved The lost are: Captain Louis
Mersebury, George Foster, the cook, of
St John: a sailor known as English
Charlie"
The mate John Swensen, of st. John,
managed to reach the shore. more dead
than alive.
The schooner Wendell Burpee, which
was coal laden from New York to st.
John, was owned by N. C. Scott of the
latter city, and was valued at about
$4,000 The vessel will undoubtedly be
total loss, as 1t IS expected she will
have her bottom pounded out before
morning. The sea is running heavy,
breaking high above the schooner.
A furious gale swept along the coast
during the day and according to the
story of John Swensen, the mate, the
captain thought he was off Matiniicus.
Me-, when the fog suddenly lifted and
he found that he was near the rocks Of
Cape Elizabeth. 1t was then too late
to change the course and the schooner
was carried high UP in Board Cove,
about mile from the Cape Elizabeth
life saving station Seeing that wreck
was unavoidable the men decided to
take their yawl, and had proceeded but
short distance when the craft was
swamped by a heavy sea. AS they
were heavily dressed, the men, except
ing the mate, went to their doom. The
mate, after an awful struggle in the
raging surf managed to nearly reach
shore, but sank back exhausted and un-
conscious short distance away. He
was rescued by two fishermen who, at
the risk of their lives, seized the mate
before he could be washed back into
deep water.

EPIDEMIC STILL GROWING
ESTIMATED OVER 15O TYPHOID
CASES NOW IN THE CITY.

Officer Wright Admits 100 Cases Up to
Saturday Night and Says New Gases
Question as to Displacement of Infect
cd Water In the Pipes--State Health
Board Working with city officials.
The report published yesterday that
the present typhoid epidemic Is subsid-
ing Is mistaken. Health officer Wright
was seen last night and admitted that
new cases are being reported to him at
the same daily rate as heretofore. He
said that there is no reason why the
new cases should diminish In numbers
during the coming week or even until
later These admissions he made re-
luctantly, and he could not be persuad-
ed to give the exact number OF cases
that were reported up to Sunday. He
sets the figure at approximately one
hundred, which, he said, was about cor
rect. Except for the six cases reported
Wednesday night these one hundred
cases cover period Of three days, with
the maximum rate could not have been
reached until Saturday, when at least
forty cases were reported. Judging by
these figures the reports at the health
office this morning of cases accumulated
over Sunday must bring the number
well up above $50.
In cooperation with the city authori-
ties, members Of the state board OF
health have started an inquiry into the
causes of the infection. DR.. G. A.
Lindsey, secretary of the board, went
out to Bethany yesterday to make an
examination of the polluted reservoir.
DR.. Lindsley's investigation is planned
carefully and systematically, and is too
extensive in Its nature to admit of
report at this time A map is in prep
aration of the water system in the in
fected part Of the city that connects
with the Bethany reservoir, and it will

The Taft Com mission's Recommends
tions to Secretary Root.

Cayagan, Mindanao, p. l., April T.
Root, United States secretary of war,
the Philippine commission has prepared
recommendations as to the form of gen.
eral civil government to be established
for the Philippines July 1 and to con-
tinue until congress shall have organ
lied permanent government for the
archipelago.
This temporary civil government is
expected to consist Of a governor, q
cabinet and legislative council and it
Is believed that the members Of the
present commission will act as the
principal advisors of Governor General
Taft, although there will probably be
a few Filipinos in the council The
members Of the provisional Legislature
will all be appointed.
The commission will reach Manila
May /, after establishing provisional
governments in all the large central
islands excepting Samar and Mindor.
AS soon as routine business has been
disposed of, the commission will pro-
ceed to the organization Of every re-
naming province in the islands Of Lu-
zon and will also deal with the matter
of city government for Manila.
Conferences last week with many
Morros, Mindanao tribesmen and others
confirmed the members Of the commits
sion in their intention not to substitute
provincial for departmental government
in Mindanao and the Sulu group ex-
cent by the organization Of the prov
ipoa IF northern Mindanao
Judge Taft says the matter of abol-
ishing slavery can and will be handled
deliberately and tactfully, but that no
legislation affecting polygamy among
the savages is probable.

THE CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS.
A Speedy Settlement Looked For-Court
Anxious to Return.

Anxious to Return.
Pekin April 7.-Mr. Rockhill United
States special commissioner in Pekin,
had a long interview yesterday with Ii
Hung Chang, who satisfied him that
there Is not likely to be any further
important hitch In the negotiations for
settlement between China and the
powers china has agreed to the list Of
punishments submitted by the minis
ters Of the powers, asking only one
concession, namely deprivation of office
instead Of Punishment, in the case of
man who is seventy years of age. To
this the ministers have agreed. LII Hung
Chang says the court is extremely anx-
ious to return to Pekin as soon as the
foreign troops evacuate the capital.
Some Of the ministers of the powers
begin to think that SO large force as
1000 troops acting as legation guards
in the city proper would be great
mistake Such a body would have to
remain in a space of one square mile.
The troops could not be allowed outside
the legation quarter armed and it would
probably not be safe for them to 60 un-
armed. 1t is thought by some Of the
made from twelve to fifteen miles away,
with the necessary stores this arrange
ment would be much preferable, as
telegram could bring the troops into the
city Immediately.
Moreover several ministers have been
insulted by troops Of other nationa1i-
ties. Mr.. Rockhill and Sir Ernest Ma
son Satow (the British minister) were
returning from dinner in Sedan chairs
when the chairs were stopped by Ger
man soldiers who proceeded to act the
bearers. The ladies Of the party were
greatly frightened. The ministers gem
orally fear that the presence in Pekin
of considerable force of troops of va
rious nationalities might be a source of
international friction. They are not en-
tirely pleased with the military propo-
sails Of the generals, as they fail to see
the necessity for the demolition of all
forts.
