This report comes in private ad-
vices from DublitZa, the Bulgarian
frontier town, which is the represen-
tative headquarters of some of the Sc
cret agents through whom Mr.. Dick
inson has been communicating with
the briSands. The message is said to

senaing) Offering as ransom 1900
Turkish lire or pounds (S52,S00) and
no more, and giving them until next

WILL VOTE ON STRIKE
NEW JERSEY CENTRAL TROUBLE
REFERRED BACK TO EMPLOYEES.
Vice President Warrcn's Statement,
and Grand Chief Arthur's Com
ment on the Matter.

NEW YORK, April S.-Neither employers
nor employed have made decisive moves
in the wage dispute that may terminate
with a strike on the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey. 1t is expected that the men
will confer within the next twenty-four
hours and by vote agree on a plan of ac-
ton. 1t is difficult to take the measure of
the sentiment of the moving army of men
that a railway system employs, but far
as it can be sounded on the Central the
men seem moved by a spirit of conservatism
and to be inclined to refrain from striking
until every resource OF conference and ar
bitration has been exhausted. The with
drawal from the city of the chiefs of the
brotherhoods of railway men after an un-
successful attempt to secure a conference
with the officials of the railroad restores
the dispute to one directly between the
company and its men. Charles II. Warren,
vice president of the company. speaking
for the railroad, made this statement to-
day:
THE brotherhood chiefs evidently do not
know that il is a custom of railroads to
close their general offices Saturday
afternoon We were closed, in usual Gus
tom, on Saturday afternoon. and, in addi-
ton to that, 1 was called away by other
business. L think under these circum-
stances 1t was somewhat unusual for them
to expect me to meet them at the time
named by them. We prepared to be
entirely reasonable about the matter. We
want no dispute with our employees and are
prepared to pay them the wages paid by
other railways in the vicinity. We have
told them that We will take any seven
railroads they may designate. and, with a
joint committee or a committee which We
and they shall name, outside men, make
an investigation of the pay of the men
employed by them. and abide by the results
of the showing made. We have also asked
our men to point out any specific case of
treatment that is unfair, and will agree
10 right any injustice that may be shown

panies on the great lakes. J. a. Smith,
of the Smith Dredging Company of Cleve-
land. is ostensibly the protector. but IL Is
said he is acting simply as the agent of a
group OF capitalists. Smith has already
secured options for the purchase of the
three principal dredging companies of Chi
Cago-the Lydon AZ Drew Company, the
FitzsimmOns & Cornell Company and the
Haush a Lutz Company. He is also, said
to have made propositions TO purchase
twenty-five or thirty other companies doing
business in the principal lake ports. The
object of the proposed consolidation is I'M

competition which for several years has.

CANADIAN HOTEL BURNED.


OTTAWA, Ont. April "a serious fire
started i'm the Russell House block at l
o'clock this morning IL is believed all
the guests succeeded IN getting out of the
hotel. The flames are making rapid head
way and it now looks if the whole
square. which includes. besides the hotel,
the Russell House Theater and several
stores, would be destroyed.
The Russell House is one of the principal
hotels in the city, and there were about
200 guests in the building when the fire
broke out. Many of them were forced To
leave all their belongings behind them and
escape i'm their night clothing.
The Russell Theater is one of the finest
playhouses in Canada and is a total loss.
The Belle of New York Opera Com

lost everything in the way of scenery and
costumes that had been left in the build
