A dispatch from Chicago says:
The finest car in the world is nearing
completion in the shops of the Pull
man Palace Car Company at Pullman.
The owner is Charles M. Schwab,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation. The cost of this mag
nificent coach will be $4,000. Beside
| the Schwab coach the private car Of
William c.. Whitney, which was sent
out a fortnight ago, seems plain. 1t
cost barely half as much as the steel
magnate's. The Schwab travelling
home is seventy feet of elegance. The
whole is in Louis XIV style. Every
piece Of furniture is of special and
steads-one in Mr.. Schwab's private
room, the other in his wife's-cost
nearly $1,000 each and are hand-chas-
| ed. The tapestries, damasks and vol
ours used in the upholstering cover
the finest curled white hair. Mr..
Schwab's room is finished in red, his
wife's in blue. The dining room tone
! is green. Mahogany is the wood
chiefly used, but there is much inlaid
work, which calls for maple, holly and
birch. Tiffany art glass is in the ven
haTting windows at the top OF the car.
An artist was imported from Boston
to do the elaborate ceiling and panel
! hand painting decoration This artist
is woman, Mannette Frisbie. Over
the ceiling and the side and the panels
above the windows, garlands of roses
and lilies Irvine. Architect j. Frank
Jobson is satisfied that no private car
as handsome ever rolled over rails.
The beautiful dining room will seat 16.
The kitchen and refrigeratlng plant
place every facility ait the service of
the chef. The observation end in
this Louis XIV home is 20 feet long,
and the window area is so great that
| the occupants will feel almost as il
they were riding out of doors.

barrel in the house. Both had been
sleeping on an improvised bed made OF
six chairs drawn together.
Thousands of dollars worth of valu-
able laoes, tapestries, linens and silks
were found in eight large trunks. The
women had sawed a hole through the
kitchen floor, into which they threw
rich carpets, silverware and other
goods worth more than $1,000. They told
the sheriff they had intended to hide
there.
When the officers went to the house
they found the door barricaded n the
organ was piled against it. When the
men demanded admittance one Of the
women began to play an air on the or

not be captured.
Mrs. Walker owns real estate in this

Boston, March 16.-The labor situa-
ton in Boston is extremely perplexing.
To give weight to statements Of labor
men who spoke without authority that
harmony is not restored is to make the
outlook far more critical than at any
time since the allied freight t~ransporta-
ton council began its fight against the
r. S. Brine Transportation company.
On the other hand, Gov. Crane and the
state beard of arbitration believe that
the problem is being solved quite rapid
~ considering the immensely Of the
strike, and only ask for time and pa
thence from both laboring and business
men to remove all obstacles for a re-
sumption of freight traffic under ordt-
nary conditions. AS a matter OF fact
the strike was completely broken yes
terday. Although troubles cropped out
in many quarters, some were arranged
without delay and others dragged along
In Uncertain State
so that they came in for consideration
by the various labor bodies last light.
During these meetings, judging by
what was argued by the men. independ-
ent strikes of bodies seem impending
but the leaders in the strike just ended
are sanguine that they still hold control
of the entire organized labor body and
would not again be obliged to order a
strike of the freight handlers. or Its
more serious accompaniment, q SYM
pathetic strike Of affiliated bodies.
The special side of the strike-break-
ing Yesterday presented an army OF
workirgmen rushing h~elter-skelter to
get to their old positions. There had
been more than 10000 places vacated.
but fully 10 per cent of the men found
their places filled. This was the reason
for friction all day, affecting only the
men themselves, for the concerns were
too busy
Raising the Embargo
en- goods in their keeping to give heed
to talk of u%nfa,rness. Freight began to
move at docks, freight sheds, from n
10 wholesale houses and factories and
upon the streets, and by night great
inroads had been made on the our
DAYS accumulation of goods. With n
breaking Of the strike, employers OK
freight handlers, team drivers or lump
ers rushed into print with calis ZOE
more help. Even concerns which mere
tofore have been bound to
seem to have grasred the opportunity
Of hiring whom they liked. 1t is on
this point Of all others that the crltlcaA
phase Of the situation hangs.
The real battle yesterday was be-
tween the men who control the strike
and the representatives Of great inter-
ests who had been prevailed upon to
consider certain propositions as a way
to a settlement Of the. trouble, as LOT
three days past it was Gov. Crane at,
his office at the state house who STOOD
the parties at issue. T.
