cided to strike on next Monday morning

On last Tuesday a committee was ap-
pointed by the machinists to wait upon
Superintendent Post of the yard. Today
they met Mr. Post in conference, and he
fatty refused to grant any of the demands
made by them. He also warned them that
any drastic action on their part from
which suffering arose would have TO be
borne by them.
meeting of the machinists' union was
called when the result OF the conference
was known at which it was decided to
obey the order of President O'Connen de-
manding nine hours work and ten hours
pay. Before the meeting of the union
men the non-uniOn machinists employed
in the yard held a mass meeting and de-
cIarcd their sympathy and allegiance with
the union men.
A strike at this time will cripple the
yard seriously, as they are now unable to
complete in contract time the work they
have under construction.

the machnists upon the blacksmiths en-
poyed by the shipbuilding company to

REFORM IN ARIZONA.
An Earnest Attempt to stamp Out
Gambling in Phoenix.

PHOENIX. Ariz., May 3i.-A great
wave of moral reform is sweeping over
Arizona. Territory once famed for law
lessness and the forms Of wickedness
usually found in a sparsely settled region.
The forming Of a company Of rangers
threatens the safety Of desperadoes, the
vigorous policy OF the United States au-
thoritics is crushing polygamy and un-
lawful cohabitation. and now there is talk
Of squeezing the gambling houses cat Of
existence. The Initial step is being taken
in this city, the capital OF Arizona A
good government league is taking steps
to compel Sunday closing of saloons ana
to force gamblers 20 conduct their games
in secluded places. The first blow was an
ordinance by the city coancil. prohibiting
women from singing and lettering about
saloons.
OF course there are strong protests
against reform. The schools of Phoenix
for years have been virtually supported
from the taxes on gambling houses. and
the imposition Of restrictions viii cut the
revenues. There is little gambling by local
residents, but the games are so literally
patronized by Eastern and Western vis-
itors that Phoenix has been famed as
the Monte Carlo OF America"
An Eastern element which Is now set
Ting in Phoenix is strongly opposed to
gambling. One of the strongest argu-

FLOOD DAMAGES SERIOUS.

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May %.-The
restoration of this fiood-washed town is
now the problem before the Watauga
Land Company. of which John G. Car

other men of national prominence are di-
rectors.
In response to an enquiry from Col c.

the relief Of the sufferers that we have
power to do under our deed of trust"
! The situation at Elizabethton this week
is quite as serious as has been reported,
barring some gross inaccuracies. At least
100 acres of the island on which the town
it situated has been washed out. render
ing that portion of the island unfit to be
devoted TO further town building. Many
persons whose homes are left on the ISL

on a level but little above the surface
of the Doe River and al the mercy OF
eny food that may come.
About siXty-seven residences were
washed entirely away or wrecked by
drifts, and more than 100 people caught on
the island had narrow escapes, their lives
having been spared only by the breaking
away of a row of houses on East Street,
which drew the force of the tide awa5
from the occupied buildings, causing the
water to recede suddenly at that point
carrying heavy drifts off in another di-
rection. This fortunate change in the
course of the tide. which saved so many
lives, caused the destruction OF a portion
of the plant OF the Tennessee Line and
Twine Company, entailiug loss to that
company OF $1,000.
Thus far the Relief Committee has re-
ceived about 5000 from outside points.
nearly one-half of which contributed
by the citizens of Bristol, through the
relief movement iuaugurated by the Bris-
tol Board of Trade.
The sanitary conditions in EliZabethton
are threatening, but the Relief Committee,
has ordered the clearing away OF all
drifts and has ordered fifty barrels OF
lime for distribution.
The Doe River nnw runs in three cham

breeding for AN Object.

Thousands Of horses are brought in
to existence without any definite idea
on the part of the breeder as to the
market requirements they are to meet.
This conviction is based upon three
considerations: First, the very evident
fact that an inordinate proportion are
fitted for no special market class, indi.
eating that large number of farmers
are not acquainted with the market
classes that have been established by
the trade. Second. the glaring defects
that are passed unnoticed by the own
ers. Third, the fact that the average
horseman is vastly better acquainted
with the blemishes Of horses than he
is with the proper type and character
istics that go with the different use to
which the horse is put. These three
reasons are sufficient to account for
the production of mass of inferior
animals which do not meet the eye Of
the critic until they are offered for
sale.
Dealers by long, experience and con-
stand observation have learned to q
nicely all the requirements of a horse,
and in their minds clear-cut ideas ex-
ist as to what he should or should not
be. If these ideas could be clearly es-
