LONG FIGHT AHEAD.
Determined Struggle Between
Labor and Capital at Frisco.

San Francisco. Cal, July 81.-The
great strike ordered by the City Front
federation shows no signs of a speedy
settlement. Employers predict its ulti-
mate collapse. though they admit that
the struggle may be prolonged. The
labor leaders express themselves as
confident of victory, and say that if
necessary the strike will be extended
to include every port on the Pacific
coast. The resolution calling out the
members of the federation has already
been extended so as to cover the entire
bay of San Francisco.
The marine flremen will call out their
full membership of 1900 with the ex-
ception Of those employed on tow
boats. The sand teamsters will go out
this morning in sympathy with the
teamsters- This involves directly $50
mem bers of this union and indirectly
affects 5000 men in the building trades
whose supplies will be cut off, and who
will of necessity be thrown out of
work when they run short of brick,
sand, cement, rock and gravel
The strike of the packers has forced
the American Can company to close
down, throwing 400 persons out of en-
plOyment. CanneTies who depend upon
it for their supplies of cans, employ
5000 men, women and children, and I'M
less the factory can start up again with
in few days they viii all be thrown
out of employment.
Arrangements have been made by
the ship owners association to meet
the strike of the sailors, marine fire
men and longshoremen's unions. Non
union men are to be employed if pos
sible, and an effort made to handle
the freight at the wharves.
The Pacific Steamship company's
firemen did not go out. The men have
signed individual contracts with the
company, and they did not violate the
agreement. The sailors, however, have
struck, and the company is looking for
new men.
Tt is reported that the Pacific Coast
Steamship company would, if neces-
sary, furnish Il vessel on which the
non-union help employed by the ship
owners might live until the trouble is
over.
The coal situation of San Francisco
is not considered serious by the job
bling coal men, According to the pres
ent estimates they have enough coal
on hand to serve the city for weeks.
Two golfers arrived yesterday, and
several more are due within a week.
The police commissioners have granted
about 100 permits to non-union men to
carry concealed weapons for the pur-
pose of self-defense. Mayor Phelan
still hopes that a compromise of the
trouble may be effected.

ACKERLAND HAS A FORTUNE.
Kansas City, July S1.-Charles ".
Akerland, the head porter of the Savoy,
Matte Beals, the young woman who
drew the second choice of all the claims
in the LawtOn district. received both
bad and good news yesterday. Within
a few minutes after he heard that his
former sweetheart had repudiated the
betrothal vows, he heard that he was
heir to a fortune
The second chapter in the romantic
story IS even more interesting than the
first chapter. Akerland received word
yesterday that his former sweetheart
denied that she is engaged to marry
him and by a strange coincidence the
Fates decreed that the Tilted porter
should hear the news on the same day
that he had inherited part of an estate
in Lincoln county, Kansas, valued at
S33 900.
Akerland left last night at GAO on
the Union Pacific for Lincoln Center,
Kan, where he expects to appear in
the probate court today to claim his
part of an estate left by his stepfather,
John Anderson, a wealthy farmer who
died recently in Lincoln county
Akerland received a letter yesterday
from the authorities in Lincoln county
stating that the value of the estate has
been fixed at $33, 900. Ackerland and
two sisters of the deceased are the sole
heirs The apportionment win be made
by Probate Judge M. r. King in Lin
coin, Kan. today.
LAS soon as the estate Is divided and
get my share am going direct to
Wichita to see Miss Beals,' he said. Il
hope to learn from her that her re-
ported statement about our engage
ment being broken was without foun-
dation''
A dispatch from Wichita says Miss
Beals left last night for Arkansas City,
where she will be joined by her brother
and together they viii set out for the
new country to select her claim. The
dispatch proceeds: She emphaticany
denies that she is engaged to marry
the Savoy hotel porter, but stated that
last June.
Mr.. Ackerland is certainly very pre-
sumptuous to talk as he has, when he
knows very well that our engagement
IS at an end" said the young woman
Why, have not written to him since
I came to Wichita in June. He will
wait a long time if he waits until he
hears from me- said Miss Beals.
Miss Beals stated that if she 1narries
at all 1t will be Conductor Ernest Dill,
of Wichita, but for the next fourteen
months she will not consider matri-
mony, since by doing SO she would for
felt her right to her claim. She re-
ceived q proposal by wire this morn
as we'll as several others received by
mail she refused to consider.
