Washington, May 22.-President
O'Connen says advices received up to
o'clock last night at headquarters
here indicated an early settlement OF
the trouble between maChinists and
EMPLOYERS will be effected. Informa-
ton at hand showed that during the
day over 12O firms settled by granting
the nine-hour day O'Connell said so
far as he knew about 5000 men were
out in San Francisco and about 5,Ooo
in Cincinnati. In Chicago nearly all
important shops have settled with the
men. REPORTS from the south, he said,
show that all through that section
settling is being effected, Half Of the
firms in Philadelphia, he said, have
come TO terms and others are expected
to follow suit. There has been no
news of a clash.
The storm centers of the general
strike of machinists throughout the
country are in the vicinity OF Clncln-
natl and on the Pacific coast. the
numbers of firms that have signed
agreemnts was augmented yesterda!
by about 10O which brings the aggre-
gate of the establishments making the
concessions to 900 in round numbers
during the past three or four days.
Save in one or two instances, as at
Scranton, Pa, the allied trades have
not vet been affected. 1t is claimed at
the general headquarters of the ma
chinists. however, that where agree
meuts are not affected today many of
the men in the allied trades Will go
out in the individual shops where the
machinists already are out.
The situation, according to reports
received yesterday at headquarters
is summarized as follows:
Practically all the trouble between
Kansas City and the Pacific coast has
been adjusted. At Kansas City about
600 men are out, but a few small firms
have signed the agreements. San
Francisco reports an almost complete
tie-up. About 5000 men have struck.
Agreements have been reached there,
however, with eleven firms outside of
the Union and Dresden iron plants
and the Fulton Ship company. At Sc
attic 700 men have struck. There
are 500 strikers at Tacoma, Wash.
Cincinnati, May 22.-The strike sit
uation here remains favorable to the
strikers, six more firms having signed
agreements with the union yesterday
and as a result about 100 more men
will be at work this morning. This
makes in all twenty shops that have
signed the agreement. 1t is said
others are negotiating to the same
end. There are still $500 machinists
out. all of whom belong to big shops.
Large firms have settled down to a
fight and have opened headquarters in
odd Fellows temple where daily
meetings are held. 1t is learned from
semi-oflfcial source they are contem'
plating bringing in outside non-unton
help.
Strikers have planned a big parade
for this afternoon. President Samuel
Crompers, Vice President Kidd and
Treasurer Lennon of the American
Federation of Labor who have been
here since Monday as a committee
from the executive board Of the organ
ization left for Chicago last night
where they will hold a session.

reaching places of safety on top of the
cars. The flood was caused by a
cloudbmst in the mountains.

AS TO philosophical conservatism, !
will only express a wish that the great
numbers of those who have only a
vague idea that Confucianism and Bud
hism are but two forms of heathenism
would make some effort to learn what
those two great philosophers taught.
And ] wonder, in this connection,
whether Chinese children might not
suggest to American children some
points on filial duty which the former
have learned In their heathenism; and
how about the purity of their social
laws which have been observed through
thousands of years of history, and this
because of their conservatism. Every
one who has been on the field OF
activity durng the Boxer war knows
how many Chinese women have COM
mitted suicide rather than risk the pos
sibilty of dishonor by troops from cer-
tain civilized countries.
