A Strike Settled.

HALIFAX, n. S., January THE
GOLFERS strike which was renewed on
Friday at Pictou, owing to a misun-
Outstanding, was finally settled last
night and all hands go to work to-mor-
row. The settlement gives twelve per
cent. increase of wages to actual min
ers, fifty cents per day increase to
mechanics and twenty-five cents per
day to miners helpers. Every demand
of the men is conceded and nothing
is said in the agreement about future
wages. The price of coal is higher in
Nova Scotia than ever before and deal
ers are negotiating for American coal.

will present, the inaugural committee
has the honor to extend through you an
invitation to the student body of your
institution to participate in the inaug-
ural parade Of March 4th, 1901.
"a similar invitation has been sent
to all the leading American colleges
and universities, with the hope of hav-
ing as many of them as possible,
whether large or small, represented on
the above occasion. 1t is earnestly re-
quested that you give this movement
your hearty approval, and either in
person or through a committee of your
selection, present this matter for the
students consideration is mass meet
ing assembled.
1t is desired for obvious reason
that.the committee be in formed at the
earliest date practicable of the repre-
sentation, If any, it may expect from
your institution.
(Signed) Respectfully,
WALLACE DONALD MLEAN,
Chairman intercollegiate Commit
tee"
In order that the movement may be
successful, the suggestion is made that
mass meetings (be held by the various
alumni and university clubs through
out the country for the purpose of in
teresting college men in the project.
The first mass meeting of this kind
will be held in Washington, next Sat
urday, the Columbian University, when
graduates from leading universities
are expected to speak to an assemblage
which all resident college men are in
vited.
1t is stated by the intercollegiate
committee that the different college
clubs and societies are expected to
come as delegations. Their participa-
ton will be strictly non-partisan.
There will be no maximum or mini
mum limit to the size of each delega-
tlon, the only requirement being that
each body shall be uniformed or dec
Grated so as to display it's college col
ors. Freedom is given to introduce
unique features characteristic of col
lege life. Delegations it is suggested.
should perfect themselves in marching
either by column, figures or changing
their formation while in line of march.
One large banner should be carried in
front of each delegation.
Cheering will be confined exclusively
to the time when the respective COL
leges are passing the Presidents re-
viewing stand. Each delegation will
be permitted to give only one cheer, so
as to prevent any interruption to the
cheer from the college following. Instru-
ments merely for the purpose of max
ing a noise will not be allowed in the
parade. 1t is requested, however, that
bands he brought from as many col
leges as possible. The local committee
will make all arrangements necessary
for accommodation of institutions sig
nifying a purpose to be represented.
The railroads will give a special rate
to college delegations.

A GREAT STRIKE
Of Workers Predicted for

the Next Two Weeks.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, January 6.-President
Henry Fisher, of the international To-
bacco Company Workers Union. has an
nounced that within the next two weeks
all the in the employ of the
Continental Tobacco Company. which
makes the plug tobacco made by the
American Tobacco Company, probably
will be called out. This, he says. will af-
feet the factories of the company in all
parts of the country, including St. Louis.
According to Mr., Fisher, the grievances
of the worker consist of dissatisfaction
with the amount of pay received and
the system of docking said to be in
vogue in the factories. II is estimated
that the Continental Tobacco Company
in all its factories throughout the coun-
try, employs not less than 1900 persons,
who would be affected by a general strike.

CHICAGO, January 6.-Philip Dan
forth Observation-Disclosures, inan-
cier and multi-millionaire, head of the
vast commercial establishment that
bears his name, died at his home, 2115
Prairie avenue at 5.45 O'Clock this aft
ernoon.
A muscular affection of the heart,
known to the medical profession as
myocarditis, was the immediate cause
of death. He had been slowly recov-
erlng from pneumonia that for three
weeks had threatened his life. At 9
O'Clock this morning, his heart gave
way under the strain of his recent ill
ness, his pulse running up to 103. That
was the beginning of the end.
Mr.. Armour was surrounded by his
family when he died. Those at his
bedside besides his physicians and
nurses, were his wife, Mrs. Philip D..
Armour, Jr., and Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Og-
den Armour, and Rev. Frank w. Gun
saulus. The millionaire retained con-
seriousness until within an hour of his
death. During the day he had realized
hat death was near. To those around
his he had said:
Il know / am very sick, and am
ready for death when it comes"
Soon after luncheon, and just before
the physician forebade his talking
more, Mr.. Armour in feeble tones said
that he would like to hear the Lords
prayer read. One of the trained nurses
who had been attending him, drew a
chair to the bedside and slowly read
from the Bible the prayer for which
the dying man had asked. 1t was read
sentence for sentence, and each was
repeated by Mr.. Armour.
When the "Amen" had been repeat
ed by him, he sank back on the pillow
and closed his eyes restfully. 1t was
the last word the great financier
spoke, except feeble farewells to his
family a little later.

LONDON, January This morn
ing's news from Cape Town is again
unsatisfactory. Martial law has peel
proclaimed at Malmesbury, and would
ave been proclaimed in other dis
tricts but that the cabinet meeting CALI
ed Saturday was unable TO agree as to
its advisability. The vagueness of the
information concerning the movements
and position of the invaders has sent
a fresh cod fit over the colonists. and
Cape Town calls loudly for strong re-
Inducements from England on the
ground that the greater part of Lord
Kitchener's available force is employed
in protecting the lines of communica-
ton and the Rand mines. the latter ex-
tending for a distance of fifty miles.
1t is asserted by one Cape Town cor
respondent that unless the forces in
Cape Colony are increased, a most I'M
desirable state of affairs may result, as
the success in arms of the invaders,
however slight, might be the signal
for
A Dutch Rising.
AS it is, many British residents have
had to leave the Dutch villages heal
Cape Town, their lives being unbeara-
BILE.
According to a native report, a hun
dred men, either Beers or local farm
ers, have just passed through Clan
William district in the direction Of
Malmesbury.
A Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail calls for forty thousand
fresh troops, saying:
Prominent Afrikander loyalists de-
clare that the rebellious Colonists will
construe the Colonial call to arms as
a challenge and that the ominous ST.
lence of the pro-rebels, combined with
the fact that members of the proBoer
junta in Cape Town have been touring
in the disaffected districts, empha-
sizes the necessity for martial law.
The necessity
Was Never More Acute
for despatching reinforcements. AL
ready there is proof that Colonials are
leading one commando"
The military movements reported are
quite unimportant, though Portugal is
sending achievements to Lourenzo
Marques. DIR. Leyds, according to The
Hague correspondent of the Daily Mail,
is recruiting in Holland, Belgium.

LONDON, January I'm a letter tc
the Times this morning the Earl OF
Dunraven, emphasizing the very grave
situation in South Africa" warns the
country to distrust the opinions of ex-
perts on the spot and to be ready for
the unexpected. He complains of the
inertia Of the authorities" and urges
the necessity of large ,reinforcements.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Times who confirms the report of the
multiplicity of the Boer commanders,
says:
Nearly five-sixths of the British
troops are employed to guard the lines
of communications and to garrison
towns. leaving a very small number,
partly u%nmounted. to pursue the enc
my. Large reinforcements are advis-
able and these would be cheaper in the
end.

ness, during which time Mr.. Armour
visited German baths, passed the cold
months in Southern California and de-
voted himself largely to an attempt to
restore his health, which, however, had
been broken never to be regained.
For several weeks the dead million
~aire had been living at the old family
home in Prairie avenue, the usual trip
10 Southern California not having been
taken this winter. He came down to
the Office in the Home Insurance build
ing but seldom, and as the cold in
creased he did not come at all. 1t was
understood in the office that he had
bad an incipient attack Of pneumonia,
but it was given out no later than a
week ago that he was on the road to
recovery. 1t was noted, however, that
the constant attendance of DR.. Frank
Billings, the family physician, at the
Aedside of the sick man did not cor
Poborate the favorable reports at the
Gown town office.
For several days death had been
feared as the outcome by the close
associates of the great captain of in
Gustry. They realized hat the decline
from day to day did not cease and that
tkere could be but one end. When
death came, his grandchildren, who
had SO close a place in his heart, were
at the family residence, as was j..
Ogden Armour, the surviving son.
Mr.. Armour had lost strength stead
lily from day to day since the COM
mencement of the winter. The pneu-
monia was checked, but strength was
not regained. The firm grip he had
SO long maintained upon the business
of Armour & Co., whether at the office
or thousands of miles away, slowly re-
Taxed. Reports nc longer interested
him as they were wont to do during
the. first months of his declining health.
The sudden death of his son and name
sake, nearly a y tar ago, hung heavily
on him during the closing months of
his life. In fact, he never recovered
from the shock he experienced from
that event. 1t stopped his progress to-
wards recovery in his winter home at
Pasadena, and its sorrow remained
fresh until the end.
His treadmill of work and his firm
grip on affairs were maintained until
the spring of 1899, then the machine
began to show signs of breaking.
The death of his son, Philip D. Ar
mour, Jr., in Southern California, on
January 20, 1900, was a great shock to
the health-broken man. The son had
gone on a visit to his father and was
taken suddenly with pneumonia. His
death followed with scarcely a days
warning.
After the death of Philip d. Ar
