been posted in the vicinity of the Christian
chapeis. The placards protest against the
imposition of the house tax, saying 1t Is
only exacted in order to meet the fndem-
nifty to be paid to the powers, and proceeds:
IF money can be obtained why not
make war on the foreigners? China Is not
yet defeated. 1t is only the governments s
eyes which are blinded by disloya1 minis
ters. If we refuse to fight, then it is a
case Of being greedy to live, yet fearing
death. How can the carefully studied mill
tary arts be used, except against foreign
ers? How can we otherwise employ our
regiments? During 1900 much money was
collected through lotteries, gambling and
general taxes. But they were never salts
fled. Therefore should the house tax be
collected we will dernolish the chapels and
drive out the Christians. If the emperor
is unable to pay, we, Boxers, have an ex-
cellent plan to gain victory over the
foreigners. Unless this policy is adopted a
great rebellion is certain"

GREATER EFFICIENCY EXPECTED.
FlOrida's Quarantine Work Trans
ferred to Marine Hospital Service.

FIOriia's Quarantine Work Trans
ferred to Marine Hospital Service.
A transfer took place today Of all the
quarantine work hitherto conducted by the
state of Florida to the marine hospital SER
vice. which will greatly increase the power
of the federal government in keeping con-
tagious diseases from the country. Under
the old method the ports OF Florida have
been under the direction Of that state so
far as quarantine regulations have been
concerned, and although the state cooper
ated with the marine hospital service In
times Of danger. yet 1t is expected greater
efficiency will be secured now that the
work is directly under the guidance Of the
central quarantine service. This transfer
was made in accordance with an act of
Congress and the willingness Of Florida to
transfer places the entire quarantine force
under the marine hospital service. This
force consists of nine acting assistant sur
geons. two sanitary guards and twenty
four employees. There are in all eleven
quarantine stations involved in the trans
fer. The Muliet Key station is purchased
outright by special act of Congress- all
other stations being leased from the state
for three years. In addition to Mullet Key
station the other principal stations are Key
West. Pensacola, Miami and Fernandino
all of which are equipped for disinfection.
The other six stations are chiefly boarding
and inspection stations.

CHANCE FOR A PEACE
Strikers and Employers at Frisco
Considering Propositions.
MAYOR PHELAN Is HOPEFUL
He Has Conducted the Negotia-
tions Between the Parties.
SAND TRANSFERS AT WORK

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-The third
day of the great strike opened with no de-
cisfve change In the situation, although
the outlook for settlement has improved.
The City Front Federation. which controls
the men now out. has submitted as basis
for the re-est ablishment of peace the fol-
lowing propositions:
THE employers association agrees that
Its members will not discriminate against
any employer of labor because such en-
ployer chooses to employ union men only.
The employers association agrees that
It's members will not discriminate against
any employe because he chooses for rea-
sons sufficient to himself to be a member
of a labor organization.
THE employers association agrees that
all employees who are locked out who
have quit work on account of the existing
difficulty shall be reinstated. Labor or
ganizations agree that any member who
Is employed shall, while in such employ,
obey any orders gwen to him concerning
the work to be performed Whenever any
difficulties arise between employers and
employees. no strike or lockout shall pc in
stitutel until the parties in int shall
have done all in their power to adjust
their difficulties"
Reply of the Employers.
The reply Of the employers association
Is that they will not discriminate against
Il MONS and that the men can resume work
SHhen they on their part agree, In addi-
tion to obeying orders and submitting
grievances to their employers. to promise
not to attempt TO coerce employees to join
unions or employers to unionize their
places of business"
Mayor Phelan. who has conducted the
negotiations looking to a compromise. is
-
labor leaders express the belief that tho
trouble may soon be terminated. Others.
however, are less optimistic and predict a
protracted tie-up.
Dispatches from various cities show that
the strike is affecting cities along the
coast. The steamer Columbia. which was
to have sailed this morning for Portland
with a full cargo and two hundred Ep-
worth LeaguerS, has been held on tele-
graphic orders from Portland. The vessel
was loaded by non-union men. and 1t Is
feared her arrival at the Oregon port will
precipitate strike there.
The machinlsts are hopeful that they will
be able to return to work In a few days
on better terms than have yet been offered.
The painters have presented a demand for
higher wages and IT 1t is not granted they
will go out.
Packing Company Closes.
The Cutting Packing Company has tenn
porariy closed its cannery, throwing two
hundred men and women out OF work. Off

Contrary to their previously announced
intentions, the sand teamsters and stable
men have decided not to go out as the fed
Grafton thinks 1t can win without their
aid. The fact of the sand teamsters re-
naming at work is expected to prevent
tie strike extending to the building trades.
