war began had not been long out from
England, where parents, guardians,
and schoolmasters had found him

lists, these hard cases, and their pre-
vious, histories mostly followed one
rule. They had started in life fairly
well-t do, and with a genuine horror
of work. They wouldn't work at
school or when they left it. They
wouldn't go to older colonies. where
newcomers must work for their foot
hold. And they wouldn't enlist as reg
ulars because there was work and
restraint in barracks.
A dozen years ago parents and
guardians seemed to see a new career
open out before all their hard cases.

FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE.
Teamsters' Union at Boston Making
Trouble for Railroads.

Boston. March 10.-A strike of the
freight handlers of this city, which
threatens to involve 10000 men. was
begun today. The Team Drivers Union,
embracing about 5000, led off. Other
unions followed. The strike grows out
of the Brine Transportation Company's S
trouble with it's teamsers, which began
several weeks ago, but was precipitated
by the refusal on Saturday of members
CT the freight handlers unions to take
care of merchandise carted by nom
union teamsters employed by the Brine
company. A large force of police is on
DUTY to prevent disturbances. The New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad,
the Boston and Albany branch of the
New York Central road, is the most di-
rectly involved today.
In view of the threatening aspect of
the strike the state board of arbitra-
ton today placed itself in touch with
all concerned. Newspapers, supplies to
hospitals and public institutions are
exempt from the embargo of teamsters
and will be delivered as usual. At the
freight houses of the roads involved
gangs of Italians are at work. Two
propositions from the strikers We're
presented to the New York, New Haven
6. Hartford this morning and rejected
by the officials.

SEAL STRIKE IN A DEADLOCK.
Crews Cling to Demands While the
Merchants Stand Firm.


Merchants Stand Firm.
ST. Johns. N F., March 10.-In the
matter of the strike of the crews of
the sealing fleet, numbering about 5000
men. who demanded S4 per 100 pounds
for the catch, instead of $500, the pre-
vious rate the sealing merchants Sat
urday night declined to accede to any
of the terms submitted by the men. The
merchants intimated that the price for
seals would be at least s320 per 100
pounds, the same as last year, but de-
clined to indicate whether any advance
was likely. The authorities say that
the condition of the foreign markets
renders an advance improbable.
Regarding the other claims presented
by the men for better accommodations
and other minor concessions, it is un-
derstood that the merchants are willing
to make reforms next year, but decline
to alter existing conditions under
threat of strike. The matter is now at
a deadlock The owners and captains
claim that the strike has virtually coll
lapsed, and that all the men are ready
to sail today, being satisfied that GER
tain notifications will follow, but the
leaders of the strike assert that the
ships will be powerless. In the mean
while the owners are arran nging to Sc
cure other crews for the ships should
this be necessary. The sealers held a
mass meeting Saturday night to dis
cuss the matter. They suffer from lack
of organization.

Since 1t was suggested that wireless

the department of physics and chem
istry, has been supplied with a small
outfit which he uses in instructing the
cadets. Experiments have been made

Iowa congressman Anxious to Have
Matter Of Their Successors Settled.
Washington, March 10.-There seems
to be growing demand among the
Iowa congressman for early congress
sional conventions, following probably
the lead of Indiana and Michigan.
Congressman Cousins and Hedge said
that they would both prefer early con-
ventions because 1t would permit them
to get thru with their business in con-
gress and then take up an active can
vass providing of course that they
shall be renominated.
Representative Hedge said he read
every now and then of candidates in
the First district, but placed no cred
ence in such reports
Saturday afternoon a number of the
Iowa delegation sent congratulatory
telegram to Congressman Hull over his
victory in Polk county. Capt. Hull will
lie chosen by the delegation to succeed

Detectives Locking for the Woman in
the Case.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March 10.-The
mystery surrounding the death of Mrs.
William klump of Lowell, who received
poison sent thru the mail in the guise
of headache powders, which she took
with fatal effect is still unsolved. Her
husband, who was arrested on the the
ory that he might have guilty know
ledge of the crime, remains in Jail, but
so far as known no evidence has been
adduced to show his completely.
The police now believe that the dead
ly package was sent by a woman who
anxious to marry Klump, and are
-. rking along that line, but so far
without result. 1t was at first thought
that Miss Hattie Whitfield of Chicago,
to whom Klump was at one time en-
gagged, might be able to throw some
light on the mystery, but the hope was
dissipated when it was found that she
had not been away from Chicago since
September.
klump was here two weeks ago, and
registered at cheap hotel under an
assumed name. He had S166 when ar
rested, which makes the police think he
was planning to disappear. He stoutly
insists that he knows nothing of the
crime or motive.
Mrs. Klump was about % years old,
had been married five years, and was
Humps second wife. His first wife
secured a divorce and still lives in
Lowell 1t is said before Klump was
divorced that he was infatuated with

their excellent musical ability. He said

other music in this country which has
given me great delight. and 1T has

song concert, arranged at his request, a

days stay in the country and his de-
parture for home.

religious services on the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern in the morning, but the
case of scarlet fever which developed
there several days ago altered that
plan. Instead he remained at the hotel
arising late and breakfasting at his
leisure.

winner of the kaiser's prize at the sing
ing festival in Brooklyn in 1900, that
furnished the morning concert for the
prince at the Waldorf-Astoria. 1t had
been originally arranged that the sing
ers should serenade the prince aboard
the HohenZollern yesterday, but in the
change of plan the serenade was aban-
doned. The prince met DIR. w. John
