The Fulton and Mccormack Iron Works
Are Virtually Closed.
Associated Press DISPATCHES by Special Wires.
San Francisco, CAL, May 90. -Abso
lutte order has SO far obtained IN the
strike of maohipists here. Thirteen
shops have granted the workmen g de-
manGs. The Fulton and Mccormack
Iron Works have been virtually closed
by the strike Of the monldsrs employer
in those places. Moulders in other
shops did not strike, because they say
the movement has not yet received the
sanction of their national body, in
Cincinnati.
Bishop Nichols of the Episcopal
Church, at the request of the labor
lenders, called on President Scott of the
Union Iron Works, Capt. W. II. Taylor,
president of the Risdon Iron Works, and
one or two more of the employers, with
a view to arbitration, but his mission
was unsuccessful. Secretary Wisler,
who represents the International asso-
citation, expressed the belief. however,
that peaceful solution of the difficulty
is in sight.
Works declared that the employers are
ready and willing TO hold a conference
with the men who are employed by the
Union lion Works, or other places
effected. but added this significant
statement: 1--WE are not bound to
build the armored cruiser California
and the South Dakota at our yards. 1t
is possible for us to have both ships
built at the Bath, Cramps', Newport
News or dozen other shipyards where
the men have not struck. The strike
may result in the government with
holding contracts for ships.

Levy Court to Have Attorneys Opinion
silver Run Road.
William Michael Byrne appeared be.
fore the Levy Court Tuesday afternoon
and made an appeal for the exemption
Of. the Ursuline Academy on Delaware
avenue from taxation. He claimed that
under the law property OF religious and
educational Institutions are exempt.
The court decided to refer the question
concerning such institutions as were
taxed to the courts attorney, Horace
@. Knowles, to report at the next meet
ing. There ia S59,66 of assessment
against such property.
The matter of Silver Run Road re-
pairs was discussed 1t was decided
that the couts should visit the road ON
Friday. Mr.. Willis thought 1t would
be well to I'LL break in the sea wall,
thus preventing an enoroachment of the
tides This might cost more but be
believed would prevent damage to the
road in the future. the court is to meet
on Saturday, when Mr.. Armstrong is
to open bids for repairing the road.
The court decided not to refund $40
tax on the Jane Simpson estate at Della
ware City.
At the meeting of the Levy Court
Its reported an error list of S2l5, 1888;
also. that the sum Of S19, $50 was owing
this, as properties tho owners of which
were unknown; 1853, $50, properties of
churches and charitable institutions.
Mr.. Lynn contested that it would be
better to have the courts attorney
render au opinion on the ACCESSIBILITY
of collecting from the Ursuline and
other academies as he deemed them
properties of the church.
= After much discussion resolution
was offered by Mr.. Willis that Dol.
lectof Rettew should go ahead and
collect the taxes as the law directs.
The resolution was carried BY a vote of
four to two, Messrs. Mealey and Arm
strong voting against the collection OF
taxes on church property and obarita-
BILE institutions.
This question was raised relative to
the refunding of the money collected
under the Adams tax law and which
has been decided to he unconstitutional.
Tha court decided to turn the matter
over to the attorney for his opinion.

She Ran on Calves leland While Picking
Her Way Through the Fog.
Lyme. Conn, May %. The steamer
Hartford of the Hartford & New York
transportation Co., ran aground on
Calves Island, at the mouth of the
Connecticut River, this morning, while
slowly picking her way through the
dense fog.
At present. she is stuck fast. and it
is impossible to tell what damage bias
Eeen done. There is little danger,
however, to the passengers, all OF
whom have remained on board. A
tug has been sent for, and an effort
will be made to free the steamer from
her position.
1920 a. m.--Two tugs from New
London have been working for an
hour IN an effort to release ths stranded
steamer Hartford, but without success,
and it is now thought that the vessel
cannot BIZ pulled off before 80 or
O'Clock. when the tide will be at flood.
Such inspection as has been mado in
dicates that she is not much damaged.
The passengers have not been landed,
as il is hoped the steamer can proceed
on her way to New York She Is sup
posed to be resting on sunKen pier,
which projects from the end of Calves
Island.
11.30 a. m.-The steamer Hartford
was fioated at ii O'Clock, and will pro-
coed at once on her way to New York.
She suffered only slight damage.

Joined the strikers this morning.
Eighty men quit work at Scott & Will

at Moore & Whites and 80 at the Ken

trades committee, which last night
gave assurances OF assistance to the
machinists, has caused considerable
uneasiness at Cramps shipysrd, as
this will probably draw the boiler

KING EDWARD WITNESSED DISASTER

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires
Southampton, Eng, May 22.-The
interest shown in the event by King
Edward added special zest to today's
trial OF the Shamrooks.
His Majesty, who was accompanied
only by his personal attendants, was
met at the Eier by Sir Thomas Upton
and W. j.. Jameson. They entered a
launch and proceeded to the Eriu. The
visit was quite informal, a few addi-
tional policemen on the pier being the
only evidence of anything unusual.
Although it was originally intended
that the King should sail on board the
challenger, it was pointed out that
there was considerable element of
danger when lightly built racer was
hard driven; SO the programme was
changed, and it was decided that His
Majesty should witness the race from
the Erin.
Immediately after the King boarded
the. Erin, she started in the wake OF
the yachts, which we're already en-
route for the starting line.
