PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
BREAKS CAR BLOCKADE

Pittsburg, Nov. 23.-After thirty-six
hours of the most strenuous activity on
the part of greatly augmented forces
of men and locomotives, the PennSyl-
vania railroad system has made a
comparative cleaning up of its con-
gested terminals. The car movement
breaks all records of a similar type 1t
is estimated that 30, 600 cars were moved
in and out of Pittsburg. In five hours
ninety-five trains were started for
Altoona by the Pennsylvania, 20 per
cent heavier than the record
Tonight the Pennsylvania railroad
yards at Twenty-eighth street and at
Pitcairn are freer from Instructions
than at any time within five months,
but the receipts of cars destined for
Pittsburg shippers will fill them up
before tomorrow is passed. The cars
will be moved in from the outlying
sidetracks, which for thirty miles along
every approach to the city have been
stagnated with cars laden with all
manner of crude products.
In the yards of the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie and Baltimore & Ohio also good
work was accomplished, and tonight
their terminals are comparatively close
to normal conditions. Before 6 o'clock
eight trainmen had been taken to the
hospital, injured at various points.

AN AMIcABLE ADJUSTMENT.
Miners and Operators May Agree
Among Themselves.

Philadelphia. Nov. 23.-The Public
Ledger tomorrow will publish a state
ment by Wayne MacVeagh covering the
efforts that have been made to bring
about an amicable adjustment of the dis
pute between the anthracite coal COM
panies and their mine workers Mr. Mac
Veagh says:
The parties on both sides were contest
ing every inch OF ground when the great
railway corporations volunteered an ad-
vance of 10 per cent in the wages or their
employees.
''As soon as such an advance was an
nounced, it seemed to be taken Tor
granted notwithstanding the advance
made two years ago, Ike increase
would now be granted the miners, and
the question being out of the way, there
was a general feeling in favor Of trying
to adjust the other differences.
''While / was still cross-eXamining MI
Mitchell l was asked to meet him and nus
counsel in conference to make an EFFORT
to reach some adjustment of an annie
BILE nature We discussed the matters
in dispute on different occasions, and az
great length, and at last, by the 1nValu-
able assistance of Z. 3. Thomas, the
president of the two companies / repre-
sent, the basis, as he thought, OF pos
sible adjustment was reached, and When
it was submitted to the other gentlemen,
who. with Mr., Thomas, has signed the
letter requesting the appointment OF the
commission. they all cOncurred with MT.
Thomas in approving 1t as basis OF ne
gotiatiOns."

NABS ALLEGED BURGLAR.
Waterman Catches Man With Bur
glars Tools on His Person.

In John r. Masters, now a prisoner
in the city Jail, it is believed that Spe-
cial officer MallOy has made an impor-
tant capture.
The Waterman, in the discharge Of
his duty last night, noticed Masters
proving around the rear of several
buildings on Market row. Believing
that he could be there for no good pur-
pose, the special officer halted him and
asked him his reason for lettering
around the buildings at late hour of
night. The mans answer was eVaSive
and unsatisfactory, so the Waterman
escorted him to the police station.
When searched there, the police found
on him a short iron bar with chisel
end, known to the criminal profession
as a Jimmy"
The prisoner asserted that it was a
tool used by him in his trade, which he
stated was that of a worker in an iron
foundry. The police refused to credit
him. They believe that Masters is one
of the gang of burglars which has been
terrorizing the city for some time. They
will thoroughly investigate his story
1t is probable that Masters will be
prosecuted on the charge of having
burglars tools in his possession, which
is in itself felony in the state of Utah.

STRIKE WILL TIE UP
CLOTHING INDUSTRY

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Strife that will para
lyZe the clothing industry of Chicago is
expected to break out tomorrow as a re-
suit of the decision on Saturday of the
American Federation of Labor on the
controversy between the United Garment
Workers of America and the special order
of clothing makers.
The fight for supremacy, which tied up
the clothing business in Chicago few
weeks ago, will be renewed with more
vigor than ever, according to members
of the Special Order union. When a
truce was declared after the latest
trouble, it was to allow the National
Federation to pass upon the merits of the
controversy. BY the decision Of the con-
Yention in New Orleans. the charter
granted the Special Order Clothing
Makers Union must be revoked and the
United Garment Workers OF America be
given complete jurisdiction. The Special
Order workers say they will not accept
the decision. A strike will be declared
tomorrow, it is said. The union is com
posed entirely OF girls and is the largest

ELEPHANT GOES CRAZY
AND KILLS HER KEEPER

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 23.-Gypsy. the big
elephant belonging to a circus, and which
injured it's keeper in winter quarters in
Chicago several years ago, went crazy
six miles from ValdOsta today, and killed
her keeper, James O'Rourke. The circus
train had been in a wreck early in the
day, when several of the animal cars
were wrecked and two or three horses
killed Gypsy was in a highly nervous
Valdosta, the next show point. Six miles
out from that town Gypsy became so
noisy and restless that she was tied and
the train stopped to try to quiet her. I'M
mediately the mad brute attacked the
man and crushed his life out against the
side of the car. O'Rourke, for some
reason, did not close the door of the car
after him, so after killing her keeper
Gypsy escaped to the woods The big
beast was shot number of times before
she succumbed to rifle bullets in the

ROBBERS SECURED
VALUABLE PAPERS

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Chicago's mail
wagon robbery of last night win cause
several New York stock brokers con-
siderable inconvenience, as it was dis
covered today that one of the stolen
mail pouches contained several pack
ages of stocks, bonds and some Sc
curities, which it was intended should
reach New York in time to be used
when the stock exchange opens MOI
day. One man. a member of the Chi
cagO stock exchange, whose name IS
not made public by the postoffice au-
thorities, is said to have mailed paper
of the face value of 100000, which was
in one of the missing sacks. This paper
is not negotiable, but its loss may
cause a great amount of annoyance.
AS near as can be estimated by the
postal authorities, the robbers secured
between $4,000 and $4,000 in cash, GER
tilted checks and other negotiable pa
per. OF this amount, 81 300 belonged to
the postoffice, the receipts of one of the
sub-stations during the day. No trace
of the robbers has yet been found.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN
CINCINNATI FACTORY

Cincinnati, Nov. 23.-Edward Saat-
kamp, accountant and acting Superin-
tendent of the Ross Meyer Machine
Tool company, was killed today at the
factory here. His body was found to-
night in a pool of blood in the count
ing room, and every indication points
to a struggle. but no clue to the perpe-
traitor of the deed can be found. The
only other person known to be about
the building was the colOred janitOr
and the most vigorous sweating has
failed to connect him with the crime
Last June John Siefert, another en-
ploye, was found murdered in the en-
CINE room of the same factory, and
the mysterious author of that deed
has never been caught. Both victims
were robbed

mission
Another act which has provoked
establishment was the hosting of the
British flag on the island of Patos.
Venezuela's right to this island can
not be questioned Geographically, his
torically and politically it is Venezuelan
territory. With the island OF Trini-
dad it is recognized as forming part
Of the old Spanish colony by the treaty
of Aniens. Trinidad was ceded to
Great Britain, but Patos island re-
NAMED and was recognized as an in
tegral part of Venezuela. The English
claim to Patos island was based on
the act of a former Spanish governo.
which was not recognized by Spain.
If further evidences of VenezueIa's
rights We're needed, the fact that the
island is situated scarcely three miles
from the Venezuelan. mainland, while
it is ten miles from Trinidad, is suf-
ficient- The impregnabiiity of Vene-
zuela's position is shown by the IA
cility with which we have replied to
every argument in support of the Brit
ish contention, advanced by the min
lister of that country Patos island
is Venezuelan and must remain So"
Regarding the relations between
Venezuela and Germany, the minister
said:
Germany has never given vene-
ruela any intimation of its purpose
to enforce the collection of pending
claims. President Castro has no in
tention of evading a just obligation
contracted by the government. but, on
the contrary, will meet it loyalty. At
the same time, he cannot be expected
to permit any action infringing upon
the rights and dignity of the govern
ment."

BRILLIANT CAREER CLOSED.
Death of Major Reed, a Noted Army
Surgeon.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Najor Walter
Reed. an officer of the surgeon generals
department Of the army, died here today.
Major Reed was sent to Havana to in
vestigate the yellow fever question. and il
was largely through his researches that
the determination was reached that the
disease was communicable through the
mosquito. Major Reeds death was due
to appendicitis. for which an operation
was performed on Monday, the 18th inst.
Major Reed was born in Gloucester
county, Virginia, in 1851 and was a gradu-
ate of the medical department of the
University of Virginia and of Bellevue
hospital, New York City. He was ap-
pointed an assistant surgeon in the army
in 1875, and at the time of his death was
first on the list of majors and surgeons
in the medical department of the army.
He had been known for years as one OF
the foremost bacteriologist in the country.
In 1898 he was appointed curator of the
army medical museum in Washington,
and gave his time to the science which
he loved. Combining in an unusual de-
gree scientific accuracy with calm judg-
ment he was invaluable in his ability to
search out the causes of epidemic dis
eases and trace their progress.
During the Spanish-American war ne
was member of the board TO investigate
typhoid fever in the army. Afterwards
he made several voyages to Cuba. and
was on duty IN Havana, studying the
diseases of the island, more particularly
as a member of the board to investigate
yellow fever. After series of brilliant
experiments which cost the life of one
member of the board in 1901, IL was an
iounced as a proved fact that yellow fever
conveyed by a certain variety of
mosquito, and introduced into the blood
IF non-immunes by its bite.
Sanitary measures tending toward the
destruction of this insect and the screen
ng OF infected persons were put into eff
ect Immediately in Havana by order of
Seneral Wood with the result that for
)ver a year no case of yellow fever has
developed. though the disease had existed
permanently in Havana for three centur-
es Major Reed leaves a widow and
laughter residing in this city, and son.
Lieutenant w. L. Reed, Tenth infantry,
low in the Philippines The funeral will
AXE place Tuesday afternoon at st.
Thomas Episcopal church.

MAKING RIGID INQUIRY

magistrate for the examination of wit
nesses and the formality of the re-

should any put in an appearance.
Meanwhile. il is evident that strong
efforts are being made to influence
public opinion in favor of De Rydzew-
ski. The newspapers, with hardly an
exception, adopt the view of a pure
accident, and manifest much sympathy
for De RydZewsk. Interviews with his
Russian friends are published. in
which they speak of him in the high
est terms and dwell upon the gentle
ness of his character. Thus, the coun-
cilor of the Russian embassy, who
alone has been admitted to see De
Rydzewski in the infirmary of the
prison, to which he was transferred
on account of a throat trouble, is
quoted as saying:
DE RydZeWski is much more af-
fected by the frightful death of his
friend than by what has happened to
himself. His attitude is that of an
innocent man who does not doubt
that the truth soon will be proclaimed"

gated. such as poor sanitary conditions
in factories, an unreasonable number Of
hours of work, child labor and the
company store.
The oligarehy of capital had com
bined effectively, and the corresponding
combination of laboring men was
wholesome check upon that oligarchy-
There was no question that the labor
union had come TO stay. On the other
hand, its cause was injured by certain
evils which were subversive of funda-
mental doctrines of American liberty.
One of these ives the limit put upon
the number Of apprentices in the
learned professions where encourage
ment was given 10 the training Of nov
ices.
Uniform Wages
Another condition was the limiting
of the output. which destroys the self
respect of the efficient workman, and
the uniform wage, which has a cruel
reaction on the less capable workmen,
because with a uniform wage he loses
his job at every slack in business
whereas If he were paid according 10
his earning capacity, his employer
could afford to keep him the year
round. a fourth evil was the violence
which was an inevitable feature Of
every strike in industries employing
unskilled labor. The unskilled laborer
on strike had no other weapon unless
it were the boycott. which was a cruel.
cowardly interference with the rights
of all the people.
President Eliot declared that he saw
grounds for hoping that the relation Of
capital and labor would be improved in
spite of their present unintelligent an
tagonism, partly by frank public dis
cussiOn of abuses, partly by pre-
arranged agreements for Cancellation or
arbitration, and partly by the service
which labor unions would render TO
capital through their constant COM
mand of the labor resources of which
capital comes in need.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC
CAUSES SPLIT IN CHURCH

Lexington, KY, Nov 2-The with
drawal of Rev. James w McGarvey,
president of the Bible college of Ken
lucky university, from the Broadway
Christian church became final today
when that church by a vote of 3e1 to 2O2
adopted the organ for use in worship.
Rev. McGarvey opposed the instrument
on scr1ptural grounds, and was noted
throughout the denomination for his ut
terances against it. For hirty years the
church which ne organized, and of which
he was first pastor. observed his wish,
but several weeks ago those favOring in
Strumental music demanded vote
President McGdrVey Immediately de-
manded a letter transferring mis- member
ship to another church where there is no
organ, conditional on the vote. TWO fac
tons developed in the church and the
agitation was intense.
Rev. j. w Seachery, late Prohibition
candidate for congress, also has with
drawn, and Professor Henry H White,
former president of Kentucky university,
and others say they will leave the church
when the organ is installed.
