%Swadener, pastor of the First Methodist

pie make up the church, and the people
of Marion are very much on an equality so

Washington, Oct. 15.-ofhcial news
of the result of the arbitration in the
Plus fund case was received here to-
day from Mr.. Ralston, the agent for
the United States before the Hague
tribunal. He simply stated that the
United States contention has been ac-
cepted as to res adjudicata, and the
full amount of the claim allowed, to be
paid in Mexican silver. The first state
ment is understood to mean that the
tribunal took the view that the deci-
sion of the first court, which awarded
the claim of the church for accrued
interest, did not prevent the accumu-
lation of interest since that award.

STREET CAR STRIKE ENDED.
After Tie-Up Of Tive Weeks in New
Orleans, q Satisfactory Settle
Alent Is Reached.

New Orleans. Oct. 13.-The strike
of the street railway employees
which has effectually blocked traffic
on all city lines for two weeks, was
settled Sunday night at six o'clock
by the union almost unanimously &C.
cepting the governors ultimatum on
secret ballot. Negotiations which
began Saturday night continued until
seven o'clock Sunday morning, when
the executive board finally decided
to submit the matter to a general
meeting of the union in the after
noon. The basis of settlement is
that the men will go back to work
this morning at 20 cents and ten
hours, with a minimum of 71s hours
day, no discrimination to be made
against any of the men under
charges, and as many to be taken
back as are needed for the operation
of the company's lines.
There is widespread rejoicing in
the city over the settlement of the
strike. 1t began Sunday morning
two weeks ago, and has been effec-
tive. Not a single passenger has
been carried on 4 car since it began,
and no passenger car has gotten
more than five blocks from barn.
