situation we'll in hand and that the new
men who have taken strikers places are
working to good advantage. Sunday being
a day when little new freight is received
considerable work was accomplished in the
way Of clearing the yards of their con-
gested condition.
In spite of the good reports made by the
railroad officials the strikers officials are
claiming decided advantage gained to-day.
Their statement is that at last midnight
the 200 men employed by the Jones &
Laughlin connecting road struck on orders
from the strike committee. The comittee-
men claim that early in the day Superin-
tendent McCune agreed TO sign the scale
for one year, but when the time came for
signing papers in the evening Mr.. McCune
repudiated his former agreement and had
the committee escorted from the yards by
policemen. AS a consequence the men were
ordered out.
The McKeesport Connecting Railroad, the
terminal of the National Tube Company,
employing twenty-three day and twenty
night crews of three men each, is working
under a provisional scale contingent on the
signing by other roads. The strike COM
mittee now demands that the scale be
signed without a proviso and the company
is given until tomorrow noon to accept.

ings-No More Bows and Arrows.
PORT TOWNSEND, Dec According
to Oriental papers brought by the steam
ship Glenogle, high official of the Chinese
government has memorialized the throne to
publish an illustrated book showing the
sufferings the court sustained during it's
memorable flight from Peking. and that
the book be circulated throughout China,
so that the people Of the empire may see
what they were responsible for in coun-
tenancing the Boxer uprising, and that it
will serve as a warning to them not to
place the court in such a humiliating posi-
ton again.
AS a reactionary effect Of the Boxer
movement large numbers of Chinese at
kiao-Chow are becoming Christians. The
bow and arrow has ceased to be an Of
fetal army weapon in China According
to the Hong Kong press, an imperial edict
was issued on Oct. 26 abolishing the bow
and arrow and substituting the gun The
edict was read for the first time at an ex-
animation of a large number of candidates

events is primarily due 10 Belizario Porras,
who also is said TO be responsible ).or the
blow suffered by the Liberal cause last
year. Porras. it is generally known, caused
a split a few months ago in the Liberal
headquarters at Chorrera over a Question
of precedence and seniority of rank be-
tween himself and Gen. Domingo Diaz.
Porras refused to recognize the au :hority
of General Diaz as civil and military chief
of the Liberal army. He subsequently ef-
fected the withdrawal of many men with

supposed to be.

insurgent campaigns; as cattle and other
food requisites are there plentiful a few
dead bodies still remain along the railroad
line. These bodies are being burned.
