union men Saturday. The statement
from the general managers destroyed
the hope of n settlement of the strike
to-day on the basis of the terms sug-
gested by the general managers of
the railroads.
Even If the general managers had
not insisted upon maintaining their
position it is not probable that a set
Element could be effected The
freight handlers agreed to make an
other effort to reach another settle
ment with the railroads only to
please the teamsters, who previous
~ had Endorsed the amendment of
the board Of arbitration to settle the
strike.
There Is lack Of evidence Of their
attempt to make serious effort to
settle the controversy. President
Curran, of the Freight Handlers
union. stated last night that the COM
mittees this morning will insist on
the payment of IS cents an hour in
stead Of nv cents, which the rail-
roads are reported to have offered.
He also stated that the freight
handlers will make no more over
lures and hereafter will reject all
proposals which shall not stipulate
for the payment of the wage scale
as formulated by the union and the
recognition Of the organization.
With the general managers and the
unions both maintaining these re-
speotive positions, it is believed that
there is slight chance for settle
ment to-day and that when that OPP
pertunity shall have vanished it will
be fight to finish.
Every transfers union in Chicago

meet and overcome the water from Z

into the harbor of st. John through q
narrow gorge less than SUI rect vide.
There is q suspension bridge over the
gorge where this daily marvel occurs,
and hundreds of people go to see it.
At half-tide the water is smooth over

Vessels come into St. John harbor
and when the tide goes out the water
runs clear out from under them and
they settle down upon the gravel bot
tom of the slips. Wagons are then
driven alongside and cargo is trans
ferred direct. 1t is an odd spectacle
to see schooners sitting up high and
dry, with no water near them. look

to get to sea would be to fly. Some
writer has remarked that water makes
an astonishing difference in the ap-
pearance Of river, and it certainly
does make big change in the looks

Amount

Geo. Reed Admits Judgment To That
Amount
Des Moines. Nov. 26.-The case Of
the United States against George A.
Reed, former quartermaster of the
Fifty-hrst Iowa regiment. was settled
by stipulation in the district court
yesterday, the defendant agreeing to
admit judgment in the sum OF $24 1885,
IS.
The petition in the case was filed
April 20, 1901. and the suit at the time
created something of sensation.
Mr.. Reed was quartermaster of the
Fnty-hrst regiment during the Philip
pine war and went with 1t to San Fran
cisco. While there, 1t was claimed, he
gave out the supplies Of the regiment
promiscuously and failed to take
vouchers In return. When his time
came for settling with tie government
he had nothing to show for the sup
plies that had been entrusted to him
The original suit was commenced to
recover $22,442.14. A..er the COM
mencement of the action Mr.. Reed
made strenuous but unavailing eff
forts to secure his vouchers and the
trial of the action was postponed a
number Of times to enable him to get
them. He was finally unsuccessful
and the stipulation just filed is the
result. No allegation of dishonesty
was made in the case
