End of the Teamstors' Strike.

Chicago, June 6.-The packing
teamsters' strike. which has dis
turbed the city for nearly two weeks,
and which caused the most serious
rioting that has occurred since the
American Railway union strike in
1894. came to an end Thursday as the
result of a conference between repre-
sentatives of the packers and the
teamsters. The agreement reached
is a partial victory for the teamsters
in that the packers declare that they
will not discriminate against mem
bers of the union. The scale agreed
upon is two cents lower than that de-
manded by the men.

Another Eruption of Mont Pelee.

Castries, Island of st. Lucia, June
7.-The steamer Eden arrived here
Friday. Capt. Down reports that
while leaving Fort de France, Friday
morning, Mont Pelee erupted and
threw out an enormous cloud of
smoke, which passed to the eastward.
The passengers on the Eden were
much alarmed. Almost entire dark
ness prevailed. While three miles
from the island of st. Lucia, clouds
of volcanic dust obscured the coast
and made it difficult for the vessel to
enter the harbor. At ? o'clock Friday
afternoon the darkness was intense
over St Lucia.

the results are given to the public.
Official information does not make it's
appearance until the question has be-
come obsolete or enough light has been
shed on it through the medium of a
more energetic press.
The delay, says the Chicago Chron-
icle is caused by the difficulty in get
ting the reports printed. In many
cases the manuscripts prepared under
the direction of the bureaus do not see
the light of publication for three years.
Pressure, it is claimed, is frequently
required to rescue the fruits of labori-
Gus research, and the author of time
ly and well-designed paper is met by
most persistent and disheartening dila-
toriness.

HIS LIFE IN DANGER.
County Attorney Says He was Threat.
ened with Death Because of HIS
Prosecution of Alleged BOOdlers.

Minneapolis, June There was
sensational interruption of the trial
of Irwin 4. Gardner in Judge Harr-
sons court Friday afternoon, when
County Attorney Smith submitted an
affidavit setting forth that his life
had been threatened because OF his
participation in the prosecution. The
affidavit includes the mention of the
name of Mayor Ames as one OF those
anxious to stop pressure of the case
against Gardner, who is accused or
having accepted bribe as special Of
ficer to protect shark gambling
establishments from police interfer-
ence. Chief of Police Ames is also
under indictment. Mr.. Smith says
this is the second time he has been
approached.
Mavor Ames was on the stand for
the defense in the Gardner case. lie
remembered perfectly that he had
never received the $500 which Edwards
and Crossman. the confidence men,
had sworn they had paid Gardner to
give him for protection, but his mind
was a blank on many points OF vital
Importance. He could not explain
why he had appointed Gardner a spe-
cial officer without pay, but he re-
voked the appointment two months
after it was made. He could not eN-
plain why there was no alluslon to
this step in the records kept by his
secretary. III Gardner's commission
was revoked before the commission
of the alleged crime, he cannot be
convicted of having received bribe
as an official of the police depart
ment. This would make technical

WISCONSIN SENATOR HAS AN
ISTHMIAN CANAL MEASURE.

Nicaraguan Routes-Ditch to be
Dug Under Supervision of the Sec
rotary of War-Se Nator Nelson's De-
partmcnt of Commerce Bill Passes.

Washington, Jan. 29-Just before

provision authorizing the president to
proceed with the construction of the
Nicaraguan canal in case he fails to
secure the necessary concessions from
Colombia or a satisfactory title from
the Panama company. An immediate
appropriation of $10,000,000 is made
in either event. The limit of the cost
is 100000, in case the Panama
route is chosen, while $180,000,O00 is
allowed in case the choice falls on
Nicaragua.
