CHILDREN DETAINED.

The Eleven Cuban Children Bound
for Universal Brotherhood EARN"
still Held at Ellis IsIand-May Be
Deported.
New York, Nov. 2.-The board of
special inquiry at Ellis Island ad-
journed to-day without taking up the
case of the eleven Cuban children who
came here Saturday on the Ward Line
steamer Orizaba, destined for Point
Iona, Cal, to be educated and cared
for at the farm of the Universal
Brotherhood" conducted under the di-
rection of Mrs. Katherine Tingley. The
children are detained on the island,
and DR.. Gertrude van Polt in whose
charge they came from Santiago, is
with them.
Commissioner Williams said to-day
that the case of the children opens up
an important and interesting question,
which probably will be used to estab-
lish precedent for the guidance of
the department in the matter of the
admission of Cuban children to this
country for the purpose of education.
The technir al point on which the chill
dren will be deported, if the board de-
cides to debar them, he says, will be
that they are liable to become a public
charge. The theory on which this is
based is that the children are brought
here as objects of charity, the insti-
tuition to which they are going being
in no way bound to support them, if
Tor any reason the managers thereof
should see fit at any time to turn them
loose OH the community.

STRIKE ENDED.
Hudson Valley Electric Railway
Tie-Up Is Dissolved.

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 2.-The
strike of the 1nortormen on the Hudson
Valley Electric Railway was ended at
8 o'clock, the company not recognizing
the union, but agreeing to the schedule of
wages presented by the men, who will
return to work at Z o'clock tomorrow.
The strike has been notable for con-
siderable rioting and the consequent
calling of several companies of the
State National Guard.
The terms upon which the strike is
settled are as follows: Men who had
been receiving is cents an hour will
receive II cents, and men who had
been receiving. 1S12 cents will hereafter
be paid is cents. Instead of having
inspectors on the Saltwater division
who are paid % and Is cents, that work
will be done at night by men from the
main offices. All the former employees
will be reinstated in their old positions
except those who are under indictment.
The company makes no contract
with the union and does not recognize
it in the settlement, the men returning
to work as individuals. They will
abandon their present utilization with
the union on the lines of the United
Traction Company, and a new union
will be formed to consist exclusively
of employees of the Hudson Valley
Company and having no connection
with any other union.

veteran. THE day after the President
was able to discard his crutches. he
visited the White House to make a
personal inspection of the existing con-
ditions there. and to insist that the
work of repair and alteration should
be expedited. It did not take him long
to discover that there was a large
amount of unnecessary pulling down
and building up going on. Finally the
President announced that he proposed
to eat his dinner and sleep in the
White House Thursday, Oct 80. The
men in charge of the work said thew
feared it would be impossible to make
the private part of the house habitable
by that date. They also protested that
it might be unhealthy for the Presi-
dent to sleep in the house until it was
thoroughly dried out. These obiec-
tions had no effect upon the President.
He stood by his original date and
finally declared, good-naturedly, but in
manner that could not be mistaken
for a jest:
y will take my dinner here next
Thursday, if I have to eat from the
floor and sleep in a blanket"

NEW STAMPS WILL
SOON BE USED
record Breaking Automobile Is TO Suppant the
Messenger Boy on the Special Delivery

Washington, Nov AT the Bureau
Oh Engraving and Printing the force is
working in day and night shifts. to
hurry along the new issue of postage
stamps under the recently awarded
contract. There are several new de-
signs, fashioned generally after the
prevailing style in stamps of the one.
two' five and ten-cent denomination.
For the first time in the history of
any nation, the United States propose
to issue "thirteen-cent stamp" 1t
Will be the same size as an ordinary
postage stamp, and will contain a por-
trait of the late President BENJAMIN
Harrison. The reason for issuing
stamp of this denomination (unlucky
thirteen) is a general request from bus
mess men in all parts of the country,
who claim that in the course of bust
ness they frequently send through the
mails packages which require thirteen
cents worth of postage. Just why
the picture of Benjamin Harrison
should be selected to adorn the first
thirteen-cent stamp ever issued may
attract some curious comment. No
detailed explanation of the circum-
stance is offered at the Treasury De-
partment.
There is to be an up-to-date change
in the design shown upon the Special
delivery stamp" The present design
is that of a messenger boy on the run
something almost impossible in every
day life. The new design is an auto
mobile of the record breaking class.
Ihis is perhaps the gSeatest novelty IN
the way of new designs.
