a street Car struck Katie Fridsh
and She May Die.

Miss Katie Fridsh, daughter of Martin
Fridsh. 2502 East Tenth street. was proba-
bly, fatally injured last night by being
knocked down by a street car. The acci-
dent took place at the corner Of Tacoma
avenue and Tenth street. Miss Fridsh,
who is nineteen years old, was returning
from an entertainment on an East Tenth
street car. At the corner Of Tacoma ave-
nue. she got off the car. but in going
around the rear of the car to gain the side
walk she was struck by a car going west
at full speed. AS she got OFF the car an
other street car passed and she thought
this was the last. Another car was a few
yards behind, however, and when Miss
Fridsh was in the middle of the track it
struck her. n large cash was cut on the
pack of the head near the base of the brain,
and II Is thought by the attending physi-
clans that this wound will probably cause
Miss Fridsh's death. The left collar bone
was broken and her left hip was badly
bruised. Her face and neck showed several
small cuts.

Killed by a Crazy Elephant.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 23.-Gypsy, a
big elephant belonging to Harris
Nickel Plate Shows, went crazy SIX
miles from Valdosta yesterday afternoon
and killed her keeper, James O'Rourke.
The circus train had been in wreck
at Tifton earlier in the day, when sew
eral of the animal cars were wrecked
and two or three trained horses killed.
The elephant Gypsy was in highly
nervous state when the train pulled
out for Valdosta, the next show point.
Six miles out from that town Gypsy
became so noisy and restless that
OsRourke entered her car, as the train
stopped at small station, to try to
quiet her. Immediately the mad brute
attacked the man and crushed his life
out against the side of the car.
O'Rourke for some reason did not close
the door of the Car after him, SO, af-
ter killing her keeper, Gypsy escaped
to the woods. Her absence was noted
before the train left the station and a
hunt was organized. The big beast
was shot a number of times before she
succumbed to rife bullets in the brain.
O'Rourke's body was taken to VAL
dosta, where it was given spectacu-
lar burial this afternoon being taken
to the cemetery in circus wagon
drawn by six white horses. His home
was in New Orleans, where he has a
wife and family. The skin and bones Of
the elephant have been saved. Twelve
men buried the mountain of flesh this
afternoon in the woods where Gypsy
was killed.

Anti-American Iunta Exists in
Washington.

Washington, D. c., November 22.-
High officials of this government have
the best of reasons for believing that
representatives Of foreign nations are
busy with propaganda in Cuba, the
object o. which is to create dlscord
between this country and its protege.
The most dangerous foreign represent
alton to Cuba is that it would be to
her advantage 60 deal with free trade
countries, such as Great Britain, and
that her least advantage would be to
deal with the United States, with It's
high protective tariff laws.
It is said that there is in Washington
what might be called an anti-American
Junta, which is sending all kinds OF
literature to Cuba, including carica-
lures of President Roosevelt, which
show him as the personifcation OF the
unwelfshness of the United States
in its tariff agreement with Cuba: -
It is unlikely that certain unofficial
elements which opposed reciprocity last
session have something to do with this
attack on the integrity of the motives
of the President.

Big Mail Robbery.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-The Chicago
postofice was the victim tonight of
one of the most daring robberies that
has ever been perpetrated in this city.
Ten thousand dollars is the amount
believed to have been secured by the
robber, vino made his escape without
leaving any clew to his identity. Two
mail sacks containing the money which
had Just been picked up from two
of the down town sub-stations, were
left in an unprotected wagon, in front
of the Masonic temple, while the mail
carrier went into the building to
gather mail that had accumulated
there. The carrier was gone but a
moment and when he returned his
horse and wagon had disappeared.
While the carrier was in the building
the robber, who evidently had been
waiting his opportunity, jumped into
the rig and drove away.
The street was full of people at the
time, but no one seems to have noticed
the thief. No trace Of the robber has
been secured. Both the mail bags
were full Of registered letters.

The MURDER IN GUATEMALA.
Conflicting Reports Sent to Wash
ington by U. S. Officials.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The State de-
partment today received reports from
DR.. Hunter, minister at Guatemala
City and Consul General McNally at
the same place, regarding the case of
Godfrey Hunter, Jr., and Secretary
Bailey of the American legation there
who were parties to the shooting ARRAY
resulting in the death of VIM. Fitz-
gerald yesterday. Mr.. McNally's lat
est advice gives the affair the aspect
o. shocking and cold blooded murde :.
making it appear that Secretary Bailey
was party to the crime, holding up
Fitzgerald with revolver in front
while Hunter shot the man from be-
hind.
Minister Hunters statement is fat
contradiction Of this report. He says
that his son Godfrey and Secretary
Bailey while sitting on a bench in a
public park were attacked by Fitzger
aid who struck young Hunter and
snapped a pistol which failed to ex-
plode. Hunter thereupon shot and
killed him. The existence of con-
spiracy between members Of the
American colony, including Consul
General McNally, is charged by DR..
Hunter. It is known here that a
bitter personal feud has existed for
several years between Mr.. Hunter and
Mr.. McNally. The state department
will wait to hear from the Guatemalan
government before taking action In
the matter.

The STRIKE SETTLEMENT.
Best Probable Foreeast of Terms
of Agreement.

Scranton, Pa, November 23.-There
has as yet been no definite time set
for the holding Of conferences between
the representatives of the large compa-
nies and the mine workers. The at
torneys and other persons representing
the big companies have gone to New
York and Philadelphia for instruc-
tions and authority to act. Nothing
will be done here until they return
clothed with the power to negotiate a
settlement.
While nothing has been agreed upon,
the best forecast that can be made at
this time is that the men will receive
in the neighborhood of 10@ per cent
increase, nine-hour day, the weigh
ing of coal to be adjusted as best it
can and agreements between the men
and the companies by whom they are
employed. The agreements, it is ex-
pected, will run for term Of two
years from November l. The four prin-
cipal demands of the miners are for a
20 per cent increase, an eight-hour
day, weighing of coal wherever practi-
cable by the ton and yearly trade
agreements.
A representative of the miners said
today that it is possible that the men
employed by each company will have
a committee or organization to deal
with the company officials, the men
to have the privilege of calling into
the conference for advice the national
president of the union in case of dis
putes. If this scheme is not adopted,
then another, which will have the
collective bargain idea, it is believed,
will be agreed upon.
The report that the commission was
the first to suggest that the opposing
forces get together on the outside is
true. The suggestion was made to
leading counsel on each side and Mr..
Macyeigh went to New York and re-
ceiYed the consent Of the officials there.
The commission saw that the proceed
ings would be interminable, and, ii
possible, it would be better to have
them make another effort to settle
their differences without having the
commission compel them to take
something which would not satisfy
either party. In the meantime the
commissioners will go ahead and study
the situation from facts and figures
to be presented, Ejust as they.have been
doing.
