GREAT STRIKE ON.
Machinists Demand Nine Hour
Working Day.

Washington, May 19.-The strike or
der issued by the executive board of
the International Order of Machinists
goes into effect at 7 o'clock tomorrow
morning. President Connell said to-
night that about 80 will be affect
ed.
The officers of the association expect
that in many cases settlement will be
reached during tomorrow and that the
men will return to work during the day
or Tuesday morning. Word came to-
day that all the firms in St. Louis, and
also all those in New Orleans had
granted the demands of the men.
Scattered reports from other cities
favorable to the men also were receiv-
ed. The estimate now is that s. per
cent. of the employing firms have
signed. At least 25, 600 union nachin-
lists were working nine hours or less
when the question was taken up by
the association.
The $4,000 men who will suspend
work are scattered all over the coun-
try. The national officers are hopeful
that speedy settlements will be reach
ed in most of the eastern cities, but
they fear more prolonged struggle on
the Pacific coast. The Union Iron
Works at San Francisco, where the
battleship Ohio is building and other
large concerns are preparing to resist
the demand.

and Rested Well.

up a short time. This welcome news

Gen. Shaftar called on. President
Mckinley and while they were talking
word came down stairs that Mrs. Nc
Kinley was sitting up. The president
at once asked to be excused and hur-
ried to the sick room. The anxiety
caused by last nights bulletin stating
that Mrs. Mckinley temperature was
higher was dispelled at 10 o'clock this
morning when Secretary Cortelyou an
nounced that she had passed COM
Portable night and that the slight
fever noted last night had subsidized.
The president did not attend church,
but remained at home nearly all day,
going out for short walk just before
noon. There were many callers at the
Scott residence today. There was "a
general feeling that the crisis had
been passed and that Mrs. Mckinley
would continue to gain strength. No
definite date has get been decided
upon when the president will start for
the national capital, but it is hoped
that Mrs KeKinley will be able to
travel within few days.
Secretary Long left this morning for
Colorado Springs, to visit his daughter
who is i'll.
President Mckinley is in receipt of
cablegrams from the king and queen
of England, President Loubet Of
France and many other potentates en-
quiring as to Mrs. McKinley's condi
ton.

ENGLIsH.AND GERMANY CLASH

London, May 1S.-The Ewo incident
at Tien Tsin May +. when some Ger
man soldiers guarding a German
bridge across the Pei Ho at the south
end of the British concession there.
fred on the British tug Ewo, wound
ing two of her crew. after the vessel
had touched the bridge, which I'M
peded river traffic, is assuming graver
character. Owing to the unsatisfac-
tory nature OF the German COM
mander's explanations the matter has
been referred to the British minister
at Pekin, Sir Ernest Satow, with
view to diplomatic action being taken.
According to dispatch from Pekln
to the London Times, published to-
dav. after two of the Chinese crew
had been wounded (they have since
died the remainder were arrested,
taken to a German prison and lhog-
ged. Gen. Lorne-C Campbell asked Gen.
Won Lessei for an explanation for the
unwarrantable act of brutality" "
Won Lessel's reply, which has just
been received, promising that the Incl
dent shall not be repeated, at least so
far as the use of arms is concerned, is
regarded as quite inadequate.
The Times in an editorial says:
apart from the question of the flag
which the tug flew, we have no hesi-
tation in declaring that such punish
ments are out of ali proportion to the
alleged offense. We would have con-
demned them if they had been in
Aicted on Coolies, sailing under the
German flag at Kiao Chau. The
aogging proves that the German
authorities deemed that something
more than two lives was necessary to
atone for the heincus offense Of run
ming against a German bridge. We
will want to know who the authorities
were who took the law into their
own hands and executed it in this
brutal fashion. The fact that the
crew dealt with in this high-handed
stvle were under the British flag intro
duces serious factor. Won Lessel,s S
apology is an aggravation of the origi-
nal wrong done Us. 1t is not the sort
of satisfaction we are likely to accept.
Tien Tsin is not the only place where
Germans are disposed to forget that
we are their allies and not their sub
ordtnates.
The Times concludes with condem-
nation of the various German expedl-
tions.

Mr.. W. K. Morrison, the bee expert
attached to the imperial department Of
the West Indies, has recently discover
ed several colonies of stingless bees in
the island of Montserrat. He is now
irving what can be done by the use of
modern hives to improve their honey
producing capabilities. Modern apiar-
lists are of opinion that they can make
the honey bee conform to almost any
conditions, so that Mr.. Morrison's ex-
periments will be watched with some
interest. The honey of the stingless
bee is clearer and thinner than that OF

PLANS
-.f ----
For a Franchise
Fight.

Chicago, Dec. 17-Mayor Harrison
has now perfected his plan of cam
paign in the struggle ih the city coun.
ell which began last hight for the ex-
tension of the franchises Of the Chi
cago Traction Company. The Mayor
announces his views on the entire
traction question in an interview to-
day, the vital points being:
1. Franchises should not be extend
ed until the legislature has passed an
enabling act permitting municipalities
to own and operate traction lines and
other public utilities.
q All traction franchises should be
submitted to vote of the people, II
10 per cent. of the voters ask 1t by
petition, before becoming operative.
3. Traction companies should be COM
PEELED to pay adequate compensation
to the people, possibly one half of this
compensation to he in the form of re-
duced fares, the other half. cash paid
into the city treasury. The whole
question should be decided by vote
of the people.
H. Franchise extensions should pro-
vide for improvement in service as fol-
lows:
More cars. should be operated to pro-
vide seats forsas many persons as pos
slblc.
The underground trolley should be
used in downtown district.
Reasonable transfers should be COM
pulsOry.
All ghost lines unnecessary or un-
usedJ should he wiped out.
! The Traction companies books
should always be open to inspection
by the city comptroller.
