BY the Company.
Three Thousand Men Participate in

the Day Ten to One.
National President of the Street Car
Men Uses His Influence to Avert
a Strike.

:, Chicago, Aug. 27.-Grave possible
tiles of strike that may tie up all the
street railway lines Of the West and
North Sides Of this city confront the
officials of the Union Traction COM
pany. BY an overwhelming vote the
local union of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Car Employees refused
to accept the proposition made by
President Roach several days ago.
The overture of the company, which
includes an increase of l cent an hour
in wages, the dissolution of rival
employees association and the employ
ment of none but union men, was bal
lotted on by nearly 3,000s men. The
votes were counted later and although
no public statement of the vote was
made it was understood that the rad
ical men carried the referendum
against the company by nearly ten to
one. An agreement between the union
and the railway company exists where
by disagreements shall be settled by ar
bitration. William Mahon,, interna-
tional president of the street car men,
tried to exert his influence to avert
any strike action and to urge that the,
union live up to its laws. A rupture,
however, occurred between the local
officials and President Mahon and he
left their meeting with a statement
that if the men struck without trying
arbitration the general union would not
+ support them in the issue.

ANOTHER DEATH FROM SHOOTING

ANOTHER DEATH FROM SHOOTING
Harold Sweet, a young fellow who
came out to Fargo to work in the har-
vest field, died in the Darrow hospital
at Moorhead as the result of a gunshot
wound ..
The three brothers. Raymon, Harold
and w. G. Sweet, came to Fargo and
were on their way from their home at
White Earth, Mimi, to Courtenay,
where they were to work during the
threshing season, one of the brothers
having worked there for several years.
They went west to the Milwaukee
crossing where they were waiting for
a west bound train which they hoped
to board for Valley City. They had
banked their camp fire and were just
about to crawl into their blankets when
three masked men attacked them with
clubbed revolvers. Two of the broth
ers ran and shots were fired at them
70 make them stand. The eldest
brother stood his ground and fought
with one of the robbers while the other
two robbers went through and robbed
the other brothers, securing $3.50 and
two watches. The elder brother was
giving the robber his "needin's' and
the rcbber shouted Justify for help. One
of the mans pals came up and shot
young Sweet and then a fight between
the other brothers ensued. but the rob-
bers escaped, with the exception of the
man the first brother was fighting with.
They managed to get him to the police
station. He gave his name as John
Rooney and is not only tough looking
but is tough in reality. He had upon
his person a loaded revolver, 3S cal
iber. and a bowie knife. Sweet was
shot through the lung and died after
an operation.

OF the Attempted Holdup of a North
ern Pacific Train on the Pacific
Coast Recently.
Seven Men in the Gang and They
Make an Attempt to Blow up
the Car With Dynamite.
Passengers Closely Guarded and Com
pelled to Remain in Coaches
but no Booty Secured.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 27.-The west
bound Northern Pacific train was held
UP at Sand Point, Ida, sixty-five miles
east of here, at II p. IN. The robbers.
Of whom there were seven, forced the
engineer to stop the train, after which
they uncoupled the express car Then
they compelled the engineer, at the
point Of a revolver, to pull up the track
about three miles further, where they
tried to wreck the car with dynamite.
The explosives. failed to work for some
unknown cause and after spending fif-
teen minutes with the car the robbers
decamped, allowing the engineer to go
back to the train with the engine.
Two other thugs had guarded the
train, keeping the passengers inside
by firing revolvers along the sides.
No attempt was made to molest the
passengers and, after the engine came
back, the other robbers left and the
train came on to Spokane. The train
was heavily loaded.

HAS SENT UP PRICES.
American Demand for British Iron and
3 Steel

New York, Aug. 27.-Increased de-
mand for British iron from Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia has sent
up prices here, says a London dis
patch to the Tribune. A report that
orders have been received for $4,000
tons has not been confirmed with au-
thority, but the American demand for
manufactured, iron and steel has suf-
feed to stiffen prices and compensate
for declining trade from India and
Australia and the stagnant condition
of South Africa. When the Amer
ican steel combination was formed
there was a general conviction among
British iron masters that there must
be a defensive movement among the
manufacturers here and in Germany
and Belgium. Exports Of iron and
steel from these countries have been
increasing steadily since December
and the effect of the American combi-
nation is not dreaded as it was last
year. The British market has not been
converted into a dumping ground for
American iron and steel and prices
have risen with the increased demand
for export to the United States.

NDESPlTE THE INJUNCTION.
Striking Linemen Continue to Cut TEL
ephone Wires.

New Orleans, Aug. Pas a result
of the linemen's strike, which has now
been on for several weeks, the Cum
berland company is meeting with great
difficulty in operating its service here
in spite of the blanket Injunction re-
Gently issued by Judge Parlange in the
federal court. Tuesday the police re-
ported that forty-eight wires belong
ing to the company at Pitt and Joseph
streets had been cut during the night
and the ends found lying on the
ground at daylight. The effect was to
put many of the telephones in the up
per residence district of the city out
of service.
The company is still bringing men
here from other points but has had to
appeal to the police to protect them.
Monday three of the men who came
from Nashville were badly beaten.
Later in the day the Cumberland
company, through Manager Powell, ap-
piled to the mayor for permission to
arm their men.

ON TOUR OF INSPECTION.
President Grants the Request of Gen
eral Miles to Make Tour Of
the Philippines.
Is Instructed to Give Particular At
tention to Condition Of the
Army Over There. "'
Not to interfere in Any Way With
General Chaffee or His Successor
s9r General Davis.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Ihe war Ce-
partment has given out the order is.
sued to Lieutenant General Miles to
60 to the Philippines. 1t is signed by
William Sanger, acting secretary OF
war, and is as follows: H.. ss..
Sir: have the honor to state that
your application for authority to in
spect that portion of the army serving
in the Philippines is approved by the
president. You will sail about the
18th of September, and in inspecting
the conditions of the army will give
particular attention to it's instruction,
discipline and to supplies of all kinds
It is the understanding that, in that
capacity, though of superior rank,
General Miles will not interfere in any
way with either General Chaffee or his
successor, General Davis, in the direc-
tion of the army in the Philippines.
He will critically examine the, condi-
tions as he finds them, devoting his
attention entirely to matters of army
administration and not to political af
fairs, and the results of his work will
be embodied in a set of reports. Some
such work as this was undertaken a
few months ago by Inspector General
Breckenridge, who has prepared a
voluminous set of reports, which have
not yet been published, making sug.
gestions for the betterment of the mil.
itary service at every point from
transportation down to discipline, &C.
coutrements and supplies. r..
In the absence from Washington OF
General Miles no one at army head
quarters is fully authorized to discuss
the details of his projected trip. But
it is believed here that he will be ac
>companied by at least two members Of
his staff, namely Lieutenant Colonel
Whitney and Colonel Reber, the latte,
his son-in-law. Colonel Maus, who is
the inspecting officer of the staff, also
may accompany General Miles if his
health, which is somewhat impaired at
present, permits. s,...
Leaving about Sept. Is, and allowing
month for a tour of inspection of the
principal islands of the archipelago
General Miles should return to Wash.
ington early in January next.

Account Of the HoIdup as Wired to
Headquarters.
eg st. Paul, Aug. PA telegram has
been received by the general manager
of the Northern Pacific railway from
a division superintendent, stating that
train No. of that road, in charge Of
Conductor William Gilbert. and Engi-
neer G. H. Wilson, had been stopped
four miles west of Sand Point, Ida, by
q gang of seven or eight men. ~
The engineer was ordered to call out
the express messenger and went back
to the express car for that purpose,
but the messenger refused to come
out. There was considerable shouting,
and the bandits shot their guns re-
peatedly in the air, but evidently be-
came frightened, for they ordered the
fireman to- cut off the engine and the
engineer to run it two miles west. On
stopping the engine, the engineer was
ordered to walk back to his train.
About twenty shots were fired, but
no one hurt and no one robbed.
Officers were notified of the attempt
ed robbery as soon as possible. ,
A tramp named William Pearson,
who was stealing a ride on the. bag.
gage car, said that he saw. two Of the
mems faces and could identify them.
He was held at Spokane.
