NEW ORLEANS STRIKE ENDS.
settlement Reached Between Rail.

Settlement Reached Between Rail-
ways Company and Employees.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 13.-Tbe
street car strike was settled Saturday
night by the union almost unanimous
ly accepting the governors ultima
tum on a secret ballot. Negotiations
went on until o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when the executive board anal.
ly decided to submit the matter to
general meeting of the union, which
began at A o'clock and ended ait 9
o'clock.
The basis of settlement Is that the
men will go back to work today at
20 cents and 10 hours, with a MINI
mum of seven and one-half hours a
day, no discrimination to be made
against any of tine men under charges,
and SO many to be taken back ais are
needed for the operation of the COM
pany's lines. The hitch was on the
taking back of the men under charges,
but the railways company finally con-
ceded this, allowing the courts to de-
eide the guilt of the men,
There is widespread rejoicing in the
city over the settlement of the strike.
1t began Sunday morning two weeks
ago and has been the most effective
tie-up ever attempted in this city.

tackled While at Dinner.
MUTINEERs FINALLY QUELLED

It Is Said Their Object Was to Kill
Officers, Run Away With Vessel and
Secure $4,000 which Whey Knew
Was Aboard.
New York Oct. 13-The little
steamer Dos Hermanos was sent out
on a cruise among some of the south
ern islands by a trading firm few
days before the transport Sherman
left Manila, says a Herald dispatch
from San Francisco. The steamer
reached Virac and anchored in the
harbor there. Officers and the few
passengers on board were at dinner
in the cabin when about 80 of the
crew, led by the boatswain, rushed
down the gangway armed with knives
hatchets and clubs and demanded tbs
money that was on the vessel.
The officers were caught unarmed
The two women passengers fed 10
their rooms. The captain and men
passengers gave the mutineers battle.
The Dos Hermanos was anchored
close to the shore, and not far away
from the constabulary barracks The
noise of the fight was heard at the
barracks, and officers put out to the
vessel. They succeeded in boarding
after a desperate struggle with the
mutineers, several of whom were shot
and killed. The others, numbering
"a, were arrested, charged with mu-
tiny and piracy.
1t is supposed the plan of the mu-
tineers was to kill all the officers,
run away with the steamer take the
$4,000 aboard and then wreck the
ship and declare all were lost except
themselves.

NEW CABLE PROPOSED.
Line Will Be Run From Honolulu to
Tanning Island.


San Francisco, Oct. 13.-Special dis
patches from Honolulu, Oct. 7, say it
is now proposed to run a line of cable
from Honolulu to Tanning Island by
a working agreement between the
British government and the Pacific
Commercial Cable company. Such a
connection would be of benefit to each
line in case Of an accident disabling
either.
The proposal for this was made in
the house of commons in the New
Zealand parliament by Senator j.
Ward, who pointed out the safeguard
it would be.
The cost of the line from Honolulu
to Tanning Island is estimated at
$1,000000. The reports of the Pa
cifc Commercial Cable company here
say that the plan proposed by the
New Zealand government practically
has been agreed to between the two
cable lines.

The city dispensary ambulance was
called and the bodies we're sent to

body sitting on the dry goods box he
realized that the sacks in the rear OF
the college probably contained bodies.
Officers hurried to the Central col.

bodies lying in the alley. Each was
tied securely in a sack. When the
sacks We're cut open it was found that
they contained the bodies of Miss
Gates and Wallace Johnson.
The finding of the bodies is thought
to be due to the efforts of detectives,
who, for several days, have been talk

DEAR SIR:-SOme years ago operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was ther called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,

THE PHILIPPINE FRIAR LANDS.

This is one of the most perpleXing
questions connected with the Philippines
with which our government has to deal.
The friars. of whom there were about
1000 in those islands when they passed,
into the possession Of the United States
own large tracts of land from which
they derive their means of support. The
Filipinos are very hostile to these friars
and want them driven out of the is
lands, and in fact have driven about
800 Of them from their parishes and in
sist that u government shall expatri-
ate all of them. Under the treaty of
Paris our government is bound to pro-
tect them in the enjoyment Of their
rights as citizens and in the possession
and occupation of their lands. Our
government cannot, therefore, force
them to leave the island or to sell their
lands. but it has declined to use force
to restore those who have been driven
from their parishes by the natives, for
this. it says, would cause a revolt
against American authority.
In the mean time the government,
as an amicable and fair way of settling
the vexed question has offered to buy
these friar lands and add them to the
public domain. The friars refuse to
sell, n it was for the purpose of nego-
tiating this matter with he pope that
Governor Taft. of the Philippines, went
to Rome. The proposition was to buy
the lands if the pope would cause the
removal from the islands of tho friarS
The negotiations have been carried
on with very friendly spirit on both
sides. The pope was in favor of regard
ing it entirely as a business transaction
and coming to a speedy conclusion of
the matter. He considered the propo-
sition of our government as very fair;
but the committee of cardinals to whom
he referred the matter opposed him in
this n objected to what they consid-
cred under haste in making a settle
ment. They claim that it would be a
violation of the treaty to force the
friars to leave the island even after
payment to them of the full value of
their lands.
This ends the negotiations at Rome
anu Tie IldllcI HdS DSSl dISlSIiSu W
Manila where it will be again taken up
beween Governor Taft and his cabinet
with the papal apostolic representative
in those islands who will be sent there
by the pope.
In this matter our government is
acting solely in the interest of the Fill
pinos. The friars own the larger part
of the most productive lands of the is
lands and their revenues are a heavy
tax on the natives. These lands our
government wishes to throw open to
settlement by the natives. In addition
to this there is great desire to get rid of
these friars. for they are a constant
cause of Irritation to the natives who
have great dislike for them and are
kept in constant turmoil so long as they
remain among them.
Though the matter was by no means
settled by Governor Taft while in Rome.
the state department declares itself
we'll pleased with the progress made and
is convinced that a satisfactory settle
ment will be soon reached.

A GOOD SIGN.

In Georgia at least the idea will Don
be abandoned that wealth and family
Influence will keep a murderer from be-
ing hanged if the courts and the exec
utive of that state hold tt the record
they have established of late. On last
Monday a white man was hanged for
murder in Atlanta. He had been a mer-
chant and bore a good reputation, but
his business and social standing did not
save his neck when the jury had declar-
ed him guilty Of murder, n he paid
the penalty of his crime. Another
white man. in a fit of jealous rage shot
and killed a young lady in a church.
He, too, has found that neither the col
or Of his skin nor his standing in society
has exempted him from the hangman's
services. He is to hang in the same
city shortly.
In Mississippi, also the same quality
of justice is being meted out to white
Coke and Lauderdale, who were hanged
in GreenviIle for the brutal murder of
a railroad conductor, were said to be
"welr connected" Strenuous efforts
were made to ave their lives but to no
.effe t.
This, we say, is a good sign; it shows
that in these localities a higher value
is being placed Upon human life and
there is a greater determination to
protect it and punish those who wan
tonly destroy it, without regard to the
social or financial standing of h gull
ty persons. Such disposition manifest
ed by the people, the courts and the
state officials will nave more effect in
putting down lynchings and preventing
murders han anything else that can
be done Let It be we'll understood that
a life shall be legally forfeited for a
life unlawfully taken and the number
of murders will rapidly decrease. e.

rules Of courtesy OF that body the
nomination would be held up for a long
time and perhaps not acted on during
the short session of the senate. Such
course by the senate on the nomina-
ton of a former senator would be. very
notifying to the appointee and al
most tantamount to a rejection of the
nomination.
Before this office was rendered the
senator it was predicted that the
president would give him an appoint
ment which did not require confirma-
ton by the senate; but that is not
President Roosevelts style. If he
wanted to reward Senator McLaurin
for past services he would go at 1t in
the most direct way. Now that he has
been foiled in this instance he may
select the other and more certain
means to get his friend into Office. 1t
will be interesting to watch develop
ments. If Nj. Roosevelt wants Sena-
tor McLaurin to hold a federal office
he will be mighty apt to get him into
one. The next move, in all probability,
will be an appointment to an office
which does not require confirmation
by the senate. Then we will see If the
senator is so sensitive to public opinion.
