Union Demands Turned Down by the
 Street Car Compauies,


 New Orleans. March 25.-The street car strike may start any time after tomor- row nights meeting of the Street Car Mems Union. Even Mr. Mahon Presi- dent of the carmen's union. now says that it looks like strike, and both sides are preparing The union will run coaches as was done in St. Louis, and will bring the weight of all the other unions to bear on the situation The ranging to secure men, depending on the city for protection.
 Volunteer police is already being formed by the citizens. on the line of the or- ganizati0n which suppressed the Charles riots. and the militia will be called out if necessary. ~e The developments of the day were the rejection of the latest union demands by all the companies. There were two spe- cial features of these demands. One called for the employment of none but union men. candidates for positions. after proving satisfactory, being called upon to join the union at the end of sixty days. The companies answer that they do not interfere with the actions of their men as long as they perform good service and refuse to employ coercion in order to build up any organization in which the companies have no interest. The second clause is for nine hours day at 70 cents an hour. 4
 The companies reply that eight months ago they raised wages over 30 per cent. and the employees expressed gratitude and said their loyal service would amply repay their employers. If they had sush- marily cut wages they would have been charged with bad faith. They think that the charge lies equally against the men. and refuse to consider the matter.

 Indianapolis, Ind. March 25-A special to The News from Hamilton, O., says:
 Hamilton was shocked at the severity of the sentence imposed in Havana on Estes G. hathb0ne. It was felt here that Rathbone was culpable only through the love of luxury and social display. which lost him fortunes here. but nobody feels that he is wilfully criminal or that he would embezzle.

 The postal service is one important branch whose transition into absolute control of the Cuhans will occasion no difficulty. The chain of postoffices now in operation are in public buildings belong ing to Cuba and the postal service or this Government has no property worth mentioning on the island.
