PEA CE IN SIGHT IN CHICAGO
BIG RAILROAD STRIKE LIKELY TO BE
SETTLED TO-DAY.

Chicago July S-Through the efforts of Chair
man Job of the State Arbitration Committee
series of meetings have been arranged for 10
o'clock tomorrow morning between the gen.
eral managers of each Of the railroads and
committee of five of the striking freight handlers
from the same lines These committees will
not themselves be empowered TO settle the
strike. but will report to the officials of the
union at o'clock. Chairman Job said tonight
that he thought he had inserted the entering
wedge for the settlement of the strike. The
committees to be received as representa-
tives of the men and not of the union.
President Curran Of the Freight Handlers
Union said tonight: 'T feel assured that the
difficulty will be amcably adjusted before to-
morrow night"
Two hard blows given the strike to-day,
when the teamsters and railway clerks unions
decided not to aid the movement in any way.
The teamsters announced that the freight ham
dlers, having gone into the strike their own
responsibility and without consulting affiliated
labor organizations, could fight 1t out unaided.
Not a vote OF sympathy would the clerks
union give the strikers. The freight handlers
had been depending on the teamsters striking to
make the te-up of the railway yards complete,
and the action of the latter a dsap
pointment
The jobbng interests of the city are seriously
fled up in their shipping departments as
suit of the strike, which involves nine thousand
men. Heavily laden trucks which left ware
houses for the freight yards yesterday are in
many instances still waiting to he unloaded.
The roads far have had little chance OF
handling anything save perishable freight In
quiries from officials Of the various railroads,
however ELECTED the invariable statement that
freight of all kinds being handled with
scarcely any delay.
Investigations by reporters OF the statements
that full crews were working and the inter
views with members OF wholesale firms seemed
to indicate that the reports Of the railroad off,
Cials were somewhat optimistic At the Wa
bash station only ten men were found at work,
and at the Michigan Central and Wisconsin
Central. where hundreds of went out,
scarcely any were found at work.
About 40 per cent OF the wholesalers reported
a Curtailment or almost complete stOppage OF
business with outside points Some firms laid
off number of men pending a settlement Of
the strike. A big grocery house said II had
shipped goods for two days. Another house
Franklin MacVeagh & Co, was practically
closed to-day. and a member of the firm said
that no attempt was being made to ship goods
by freight, express or water.
Prices in South Water-st., where poultry veg
etables, fruit. etc, are handled were somewhat
higher to-day a result Of the strike. The
local business interests affected are said to be
exerting a powerful pressure the railroads
TO bring about a settlement It was stated
that among the men laid off to-day were five
hundred from Montgomery Ward & Co.

CANAL NEGOTIATIONS.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT WILL PRESS
THE TREATY WITH COLOMBIA
TO COMPLETION.

Washington July S-The State Department
has decided to press forward toward completion
the Colombian treaty looking to the acquisition
of right Of way for the Panama Canal. This is
a slight change in the original programme.
which contemplated the complete adjustment of
the question of title before concluding the
treaty. So Secretary Hay who already has ac-
complished the best portion of the work to be
done in treaty making. and has it before him
in the shape of a protocol submitted to the last
session of Congress. has taken steps to give this
the form of treaty and to have it signed for
mally by accredited representatives of the gov
ernment of Colombia and OF the United States.
so that the convention may be laid before the
Senate as soon as 1t meets in December. BY
adopting this course the State Department, IL
is expected. will remove any chance of having
the agreement already reached with Colombia
disturbed by anything that may a re-
suit OF political changes. for II is the purpose
to hold that such agreements once duly COM
pleted not subject to repudation. even in
the event Of a change OF government.
The protocol with Colombia was so definitely
drawn that few changes are required in order
to adapt the instrument for use as a treaty
The Senate, however. did find two points
of objection. and. while these not material
in the opinion Of the department officials, in
accordance with their usual practice they will
seek to secure such notifications as will meet
these objections.
No difficulty is expected in securing an abate-
ment Of the old provision in the canal franchise
requiring the of French material only in
the construction OF the canal, and the State De-
partment has already received assurance
meeting the objection that has been made on
that score.

FOR USING HOSE.

A well known Wall Street broker whose name
Deputy Commissioner De Long of the Water De-
partment refuses divulge, has paid three fines OF
IS each for using hose on his lawns without per-
nit from the department. The singular thing
about IT is that the broker paid the fines sue

paying regular fee charged by the city for the
privilege of using q hose His butler was caught
spraying the lawn by of the department in
spectors.
notice was sent TO the broker, and he called
at the water Office the following day and hand
ed the notice with five dollar bill pinned to it, to
the cashier. The notice was receipted and handed
back the broker On the following day he was
in again with another notice. and paid the fine
without asking questions. On the third day, how
ever, after paying his fine. he turned, as he was
about to walk out OF the office. and asked:
lis this the regular charge for using hose?"
why no." said the cashier; this is not fee.
It's fine You have been using the hose without
a permit from the department or a meter in your
house"
"O-o-o-h" said the broker in surprise. rs that
so? I'm a chump. I'll have meter put in to-
day."
The clerk gave him a plumbers permit. and the
meter was put in within few hours.
