The case involves the question of ex-

mony to a divorced wife. The courts Of
the District of Columbia held the salary

Many Thousand Men Are Out All Over
the Country, But Most Of Them Are
Assured That Their Demands
Will Be Settled Satisfac-
torily to Both Sides
What They Ask.
(By Associated Press.)

\By Associated PreSS.)
Washington, May 21-The storm GEN.
ters of the general strike of machinists
throughout the country today are in
the vicinity of Cincinnati, O., and on the
Pacific coast. The number Of firms that
have signed agreements was augmented
today by about hundred, which brings
the aggregate Of the establishments
making the concessions to 1000 in round
numbers during the past three or four
days. Save in one or two instances, as
at Scranton, the allied trades have not
yet been affected.
It Is claimed at the general head
quarters Of the machinists, however,
that where agreements are not effected
by this afternoon or tomorrow morn
ing many men in the allied tra6Is will
go out in the individual shops where the
machinists are already out.
The estimate of President O'Connell OF
the National Association of Machinists
as to the number of strikers today, re-
ports approximately the same figures as
given yesterday. The executive board
of the association is in session here
watching the progress Of the strike
President OConnell said this morn
ing:
THE reports from all sections are very
favorable. The indications are that the
great majority of firms will have reached
agreements with the men today or to-
morrow. The dispatches coming in from
various cities indicate that conferences
will be held today with a large number
OF firms. Many men who were working
yesterday went out today. The addi-
tions made last night and this morning
to the list of strikers and the number
that will return to work this morning
with their demands granted will balance
each other.
Today's reports show that only three
railroads in the United States are now
affected by the strike, namely, the Cen
tral Vermont, the Lehigh Valley, and
the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western.
The situation, according to reports re-
ceived today at headquarters is summar-
lied 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 few small firms
have signed the agreements.
San Francisco reports an almost COM
plete tie-up. About 5000 men have
struck. Agreements have been reached
of the Union and Dresden Iron plants
and the Fulton Ship Building company.
At Seattle 700 men have struck. There
are 500 strikers at Tacoma. The trouble
has been adjusted at most of the other
Pacific coast points
At New York about $500 men have
struck. A settlement has been reached
with the remainder, which invilves about
80 per cent of the strikers.

In spite of the fact that the gypsies

One of the objections to admitting the

MIcHIGAN's UNIQUE TOWN.
Everybody Has n Home and Eats the
Same Kind OF Meat at Com
stantine.

Constantine, Mich, is one of the
oueerest towns in the country. 1t
has a population of 1900. 4 rensed
house is so rare as to be conspicuous.
Nearly everybody owns his home.
At noon the merchants lock their
doors and go TO dinner. The men
folks on their way to business in the
morning stop ct the market and leave
an order for meat for the noon meal.
They do not say how much, for the
butcher has come to know the
amount each customer wants.
The order is simply for meat. The
butcher seldom has more than one
kind at time. Thus it happens that
on some days the whole town eats
ham, on others mutton or steak.
Few canned goods are sold in the
town and everybody has a garden.
Several years ago, when a factory
was established there, il put in an
electric plant. The town board err
ranged for lighting the streets from
this power. and there is one incan-
descent light in the middle of each
block. This is the only public i'm
provement the town has had for
years. The people have money and
are a contented lot. When they want
anything extra for their table they
send to Detroit for il, or 90 there
and stay few days. Sometimes they
go to Chicago. The people as a whole
are intelligent and hospitable. When
a travelling man goes to Constantine
for orders he is usually the guest of
a merchant. One of this class was
there for a week not long ago, and Il
is from him that the foregoing in
formation was obtained. All things
considered. he prefers Constantine to
some Of the larger towns on his
route, and he is authority for the
statement that there isn't another
town in the country like Constantine.

DEWEY'S REBUKE.

Though Admiral Dewey is a model

mander of the Pensacola of the Eu-
ropean squadron, says the Philadel-
phia Post His vessel visited a
Mediterranean port which has seen
few American war ships since the
war with Tripoli. As the Pensacola
needed sprucing up, Commodore
Dewey gave orders that no visitors
be allowed on board until noon of
the next day.

nabob was in the harbor with his
yacht. In his launch he made for the
