Except the Street Cars There Is
Nothing Running in the
Capital of the "PearI."
STRIKE HAS A GRIP ON THE CITY
Summing Up of the Results ofYes-
terday's Fatal
Riots.

Havana, Nov. 25.-As the result of
conflicts of serious nature yesterday

control, but every precaution us being
taken to prevent a further outbreak
of disorder, and all the police and ru-
raj guards in the suburbs have been
summoned to concentrate in Havana.
The strike. which at first only con-
cerned the cigar workers, became gem
eral yesterday morning by the call
ing out of all trades in sympathy with
the cigarmakers. All the trades peo-
pie closed their doors yesterday morn
ing, clerks, cooks and every class of
wOrkmen having obeyed the command
OF the union, except the motOrmen and
conductors of the electric cars. who re-
fused to join in the general strike.
Trouble began early by the holding up
of the electric cars by the strikers,
whose wrath naturally was directed
against the street railroad employees.
Like 1t Might Have Been Chicago.
Several cars We're held up and stoned
in the outskirts of the city, and the
passengers We're compelled to walk
into Havana, among these being the
British and German ministers. Sew
eral cars We're wrecked, and some
mOtOrmen and conductors were injured
during these occurrences. The ca
men. however, continued running their
cars until 10 Il. IN. when Superin-
tendent Greenwood ordere Il suspension
of traffic. The employees We're willing
to remain at work. but the officers of
the company i'll order to protect the
property deemed it wise to suspend
the service.

Independent Operators Protest
New York. Nov. 25.-The independ-
ent coal operators protested today to
the coal carrying railroads against
the proposed plan to settle the differ
ences with the Mine Workers union.
One of the reasons advanced by the
independent operators is that such a
settlement upon the basis suggested
would forever establish the power
and perpetuate the injustice perpetra-
ted by the United Mine Workers.
Scranton. Pa. Nov. 2j.-The scenes
Of the strike sCtfi mert negotiations
have been suddenly shifted from this

Today the committee of nine of the
Independent operators expects to hold
conference with the presidents of the

attorneys representing the coal roads,
and President Mitchell and his attor-
neys will be Eeld at the national capi-
tai. Scranton and the entire coal re-
gions will, in the meantime. wait with
considerable interest TO hear what the
Thanksgiving Offering will be. The
outlook for settlement remains hope
ful-in fact more hopeful than ever.
Conversations with attorneys, coal op-
orators and mine workers show that
all are wearying of the strife and are
willing to waive n point here and there
in order to end the uncertainty of the
situation and restore peace and har-
mony.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The war de-

concerning the canteen question and
the effect of its abolition on the army.
Apropos of this the statement is made
at the war department that only such
information as has been contained in
the reports of army officers upon the
subject has been given to the public,
and it is deniedthatany effort has been
made to infiuencepublic opinion on the
matter. 1t is said at the department
that the recommendations of the adju-
tant general in his annual report were
based upon the information contained
in these reports.

It Has Done No Good.

While many post commanders are. in
consequence of frequent changes of
garrison and from the absence of cor
rect data upon which to base compari-
sons, unable to report as to the de-
gree of detriment created by the clos
ing of the canteen, it can be stated as
an absolute fact that in no single case
has IL post commander expressed an
opinion that the effect of the abolition
of the sale of beer in the army has
resulted in improved conditions.

Ehect of Closing the Canteen.

1t is pointed out that the existence
of something like 1.400 saloons i'll the
vicinity of army posts is shown by the
reports received Mt the department, go
to 800 of which are said to have been
opened since the closing of the can
teen. This further statement is made
at the department: The majority of
posts have reported that drunkenness
and court martials for drunkenness
have increased: that desertion and alb
sence without leave have increased,
and that the effect of the closing of
the canteen upon the marality, discipline
and health of the troops has been bad.

Had to Re-Enact the Scene.

The chamber was arranged as on the
night of the fatality, and the same
weapon was placed in De RydZewski's
hand to act out his version. As far as
known the prisoner went through the
ordeal without wavering from his first
story of the accidental fall of the re-
volver. De RydZewski re-enacted the
final scene. giving complete details as
to the positions of Mrs. Gore and him
self. He said that he was lying on the
bed, fully dressed. Mrs. Gore was
seated at the foot of the bed, her legs
hanging down on the side nearest the
wall and her head thrown backwards
on the feather quilt which had been
rolled to form a cushion.

It is not expected that the half bak-
ed oleomargarine bill which passed
the House, February II, will pass
muster in the Senate. It is not con
ceivabIe that men of mature states
manship would think of countenanc-
ing such an outrageous form of dis
elimination. A bill which contem-
plates the destruction by taxation of
an industry which furnishes its pa
irons with cheap, wholesome and
desirable commodity, and all at the
behest of another industry which is
able to stand on its own merits, ought
to be turned down without ceremony
in a body laying claim to the fair
Judgment and conservatism professed
by the Senate. It is not necessary to
enter into any discussion of the mer-
its of oleomargarine. These have
been fully attested by its extensive use
and sale. The plea that it should be
taxed out of existence to protect the
dairy interests is dishonest and so
phistical. That is the most abhorent
feature of the bill. This meddling
with the rights of the people to pur-
chase where they will, and on the
most attractive terms offered to them
strikes at the very basic principle of
free government. IF the dairy inter
est cannot maintain itself against the
competition of o1eomarga rine-which
it can-then it would be far better
that it should perish and go the wall
than that Congress should interpose
to compel the public to sustain it

Land values through the process of
changing ownership become greatly
enhanced. Change of ownership
establishes a confidence in its value.
We know of quarter section of land
which sold for $1,000, was Immediate

purchaser sold for $4,000, and now
the holder has fixed the price at
