NEW ORLEANS STRIKE IS OFF.
Street Railway Employees Get an In
crease in Wages.

crease in Wages.
New Orleans, Oct. l3.-The strike of
the street railway employees, which has
etfectually block AIDED traffic on all city
lines for two weeks, has been settled by
the union agreeing almost unanimously
with the governors ultimatum. The
general basis of the agreement is that
they will go back to work at 20 cents
and 10 hours, with minimum Of
seven hours day mo discrimination to
be made against any of the men under
charges and as many to be taken as are
needed for the operation of the COM
pany's lines. The hitch was on the
taking back Of the men under charges,
but the railway company finally con-
ceded this, allowing the courts to de-
eide the guilt of the men.
The credit for the settlement is large
ly due to w. s. ParL in son, who took
up the cause of the strikers and labored
indefatigably all night and day con-
vincing them that they could hope for
nothing better and that they could not
prevail against the military sent here.
United States Senator Foster, Gov
renor Heard and Mayor Capdeville
were all instrumental in some degree
in bring about the final result.
There is wide spread rejoicing over
the settlement of the strike. The strike
began two weeks ago, and since then
not a single passenger has been carried
and no passenger car has been run more
than five blocks from the barn.

Strike situation.

Scranton, Pa. Oct. l4.-This is the
beginning of "A week which it is gem
orally believed will put to a test the
claim of the operators that they will
be enabled to start up thier. .collieries if
given protection and the counter asser-
ton of the United Mineworkers' organ
ization as expressed in Wednesdays
resolutions that the strikers will not
return 10 work without concessions,
even though the entire military force
of the United States should be sent here
to protect them.
The operators have been for the past
week making Il supreme effort to secure
men. They have succeeded to some ex-
tent and mike the announcement with
some positiveness that various collieries
will resume operations in course of a
few days.
The Delaware & Hudson company
will make start at the Bellevue.
The Green Ridge Coal company will
open up its colliery probably soon.
Other companies say they are figuring
ona resumption at certain collieries,
but decline to give their location.
Claim is also made on the operators
side that the forces at collieries already
working are TO be largely increased
during the week.
The UNITED Mineworkers' leaders
continue to assert that the military
men can do nothing towards inducing
men to return to work and that all the
men who could be induced to go back
to work without concessions are already
back.
Strike disorder is now almost wholly
wanting. During the past two days
the soldiers have had nothing TO do
further han patrol duty.

FREN NCH:-.BALOONIsTs KILLED
For Some Reason the Rope Broke and
They Dropped.

Paris, Oct. Is. - Debradski, the
aeroanut, and a companion, were killed
by falling from dirigible balloon. The
balloon started from the aero station at
Vaugiraird, a suburb Of this city, on a
trial trip. After preliminary maneu-
vers with rope attachment, Debradski
released the balloon and proceeded south
ward at height of 800 or 400 feet.
The propellers of the machine appeared
to work well; the rudder, however, was
not quite successful. Soon the balloon
had returned to above the ground of
departure, and then it gradually
mounted higher and higher, until it
disappeared in the clouds When the
balloon was above st. Aims, near st.
Dennis, about miles from thescenter
of the city, the ropes attaching the car
to the balloon broke fom some unknown
cause and the car with its occupants,
Debradski and Norm, was dashed to
the ground and the aeronauts met in
stant death. The balloon disappeared
in the clouds.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR PRESENT
Presented Credentials at Temporary
White House.

White House.
Washington, Oct 4.-According to
an appointment Sir Michael Herbert,
the new British ambassador, was pre-
sented to the president by Secretary
Hay. The presetation took place at
the temporary White House on jackson
square, and this was probably the first
occasion since the White House has
been occupied as tn presidential man
sion that the credentials of an am
bassador or minister have been received
outside its doors.
= Instead of calling at the state de-
partment first, which is the usual course
the ambassador proceeded directly to
the TEMPORARY White House, with the
full staff of the ambassy in their
diplomatic uniforms. Secretary Hay,
meeting him this point, presented
him to the president in the parlor of
th second floor of the house.
The presentation was made in the
usual form, with the important excep-
ton that the president, though,progress-
ing rapidly toward recovery, heed his
physicians warning and remained seat
ed, not attempting to stand on his
wounded leg.
The ceremony was brief, consisting
in the presentation of the new ambass-
ador by Secretary Hay, the delivery by
the ambassador of his credentials and
a felicious address by the ambassador
expressive of the pleasure it gave him
to return to Washington, and appro-
pirate response by the president. That
was all of the ceremony and when it
was over, Sir Michael, who is long
time friend of the president, their
acquaintance dating back more than 10
years, accepted Mr.. Roosevelt's in
vitation to be seated, and the two had
long personal talk. The new am
bassador will take next rank after
Signor Mayor des Planches, the Italian
ambassador. The foreign embassies
here now rank in this order:
Germany, Russia, Mexico, Italy and
Great Britain, with Austria-H Hungary
next as Mr.. Henglemuller probably
will present his credentials as ambassa-
dor before the new representative from
France arrives and is presented. A
few short speeches We're exchanged.
