TIE BOSTON STRIKE.


Boston, March 17.-Saturday's con-
fercnces cleared the atmosphere OF
20 many Of the perplexing questions
arising out Of the great industrial
strike Of the past week and appar-
emily rendered peaceful termina-
ti0n so certain that labor men and
oil who have figured in the movement
were able yesterday to secure the
relaxation which II has been impos-
aible for them to obtain since the
strike was inauglrated. Last night,
however, there were clouds on the
horizon and Indications were not
lacking that matters arc by no means
running smoothly Practically all
the strikers outside the 'longshore-
men and team drivers are satisfied
with the present outlook for u set

are concerned, but those two classes

GEN. NILES REQUEST.
The Commanding General Of the Army
Asked to Ne Sent to the Phil
ipp:hes.

Washington, March 1.-THE Post
says. Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, OF
the army, made a specific request to
the war department to be sent to the
Philippine islands and in connection
Herewith submitted plan by
which, in his opinion, the war could
be brought to an end without further
loss of life to either side. He pro-
posed to employ methods similar to
those used by him so successfully in
his Indian campaigns. Secretary
Root, after due consideration, de-
MED Gen. Miles request and disap-
proved the plan submitted. The pa
pers, SO Endorsed by the secretary,
were sent to the white house and the
president subsequently concurred in
the secretary's action. The final in
dorsement, disposing of the matter,
is said to bear date of March 5, 1902.
In effect, President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root hold that the war in
the Philippines is already at an end,
or virtually so, and that the adoption
of Gen. Miles plan, involving change
of policy in dealing with the inhabit-
ants of the archipelago, would be
unfair to those officials, military and
civil, whose work has brought about
almost complete pacifcation.

Mr. Kaiser favored the provisions
of the Hepburn bill DR.. Woodward
directed his statement to pointing
out impractical features of the Cor

Hepburn measure. The hearings will
continue for several days.

Many BEG PENSIONS.
The Number Of Private Pension
Bills Increasing Daily.
CLAIM ATTORNEYS MUCH TOO ACTIVE.


Washington, March 17.-Senators
and members Of congress are very
much interested in the fact that the
pension appropriation bill soon will
become a law, because they hope to
obtain from it some relief from the
pressure on them to secure private
pension legislation. The bill con-
tains provision making 1t "a crimi-
nal offense for attorneys, claim
agents or other persons to receive
compensation for services rendered
in connection with the passage
through congress Of private pension
bills. They say there are now many
times as many bills before congress
as possibly can receive attention
during the congress and tho number
il increasing daily. They recognize
that many Of the bills represent just
claims, but they also feel that claim
attorneys have been more active than
they were called upon to be. 1t is
also declared that claimants have
been imposed on in many cases and
persuaded to pay money for the in

By Flames.


Chicago, March 1s.-Twenty-foul
families occupying the St. Catherine
fats at Fortieth street and Grand
boulevard were driven from the
building by fire early yesterday. A
frigid wind was blowing and the
fremen had to work vigorously to
confine the flames to st. GATHERINGS.
The tenants had barely time to es-
cape and shiveFed in their night
clothes till neighbors were aroused
and gave them shelter. William
Scanlon, a policeman, fell from a
third-story window and broke one Of
his legs. George Patton, one of the
tenants, proved himself hero.
Three women were penned in on the
third floor. Patton had reached
them before the fire blocked the
stairway. He made rope Of bed
sheets and let the women down the
elevator shaft by means of it. He
then fastened 1t and attempted to
slide down after them. The make
shift rope gave way, however, and
he sustained broken ankle.

subject. The decision expressed the
hope that the United States supreme
court may find way to afford ,

SpOuaoo.

New York, March 1.-THE young
women of st. Joseph's church, Ho'
boken, have attracted attention OF
parishioners lately because of their
devoutness. 1t was learned yestsr-
day that the girls are making .
novena for husbands. The percent
age of marriages has decreased con-
siderably during the past two years,
and the fact has been the subject OF
frequent discussion among the young
women, who are, as rule, more than
ordinarily attractive. From these
discussions grew the suggestion that
concentrated and persistent prayer
might remedy the situation. The
idea was taken up with enthusiasm
and spread until it embraced about
all the eligible young women in the
parish.

Muscogee. |. T., March 1.-THE
eight full-blood Cherokee Indians,
members Of the Ketoowah society,
who were arrested and placed in Jail
Saturday for refusing to enroll, late
yesterday evening signed the rolls
and were released. II all came about
through the Jail order that male
prisoners hair must be cut. The In
dians were lined up and lnir cutting
commenced. but when the first had
been finished the others signlfied
their willingness to enroll rather
than submit to the shears. The
Picture of hatred exhibited on the
faces of the Indians was one long
to be remembered by those who wit
messed the signing. Each man was a
perfect type Of the North American
indian and they showed by their sui
len faces that they were Inundated.

THE BANKERS Plan.
4 Universal Money Order System
to Be Started.
IoRE CONVENIENT THAN TIE POSTAL
- VIII Be Made Payable In Any Place II
tAs Country without Idsntinostien or
Osnuinsness Of Signature and II To
Be Much Cheaper.

indianapolis, Ind, March 17.-Of the
movement by the bankers Of the
country for q universal money order
system which was decided upon in
detail at the meeting Of the repre-
sentatives Of the bankers associa-
tons Of the different states in New
York, Saturday, President Medford
h Wilson, Of the Capitol National
hank, said last night:
1.-THE object Of the money order
association is TO come in competi-
lion with the express companies in
carrying small money orders which
tend to take the business away from
the banks, where it properly be-
longs, instead Of giving it to them.
Ghe associations plan will restore to
the bankers much of the business in
this line which is now being done by
the government through the post Of
flee.
"The general scheme is to have a
universal money order issued by
bankers which will be honored at any
hank where the order may be pre-
seated. For instance, II you want to
carry or send money, all you have to
do is to get bankers money order,
take 1t with you or send 1t in the
mail and it will be honored any place
ia the country without cost or incon-
venience.
"Ihe idea Is to charge one-tenth Of
enc per cent. for the money order on
ANAL amounts, which Is about one
third the charge Of the express com
panies and much less than the charge
made by the government. The uni
versal bankers money order system
will also be much simpler and much
more convenient than the govern
ment money order system. In fact,
the idea OF the universal money or
der is to make II payable any place
In the United States without trouble
o. to identification, genuineness of
signature, signing papers, etc.

HOW CAN He GET MARRIED.


St. Paul, MIMI, March 14.-Jim
Younger wants to get married. He
cannot because he is legally dead;
hence is unable to enter into any
contract. Younger submitted the
question of whether or not he could
wed to Gov. vanSant, who has looked
into the matter with some surpris-
ing results. In Minnesota q man
who is life prisoner is civilly dead.
The only way he can make any bind
ing contract, in the eyes Of the law,
is through the board which paroles
him, in this case the state board Of
control, which board is empowered to
enter into a contract for him. II Is
not probable, however, that tho
three members of the board Of con-
troll, separately or as whole, will
agree to enter into a marriage con-
tract with any woman for the bene-
fit Of the paroled life convict.
The only way for jim Younger to
become a married man in Minnesota
IS to get pardon, which will restore
him TO the rights Of living citizen.
Another phase Of the law is that
neither Jim Younger nor his brother
Cole, if they establish any business
of their own, as has been contem-
plated, can be held for any debts
which they may incur. In his appli-
cation to the governor requesting in
formation as to his rights to marry
Younger said nothing regarding the
proposed bride.
