to run today without interference, and
that the track officials would tomorrow
resort TO an injunction to prevent further
trouble.
Warrants Are Issued.
The warrants. however, were issued after
Mr.. Wilson made his statement and it may
be that his supposed arrangements were
not as complete as he imagined.
The feeling between the city and county
officials runs high and Chief of Police
Reynolds and County Attorney Breen were
both at the track early. Sheriff Fury him
self is out OF the city. Mr.. Breen is with
the race track as against the city authori-
ties and the police against the track as
against the county.
Sam Martin, whose pool-room the race
track people want to close, can resort to
injunction in the courts, in the same man
ner as the Jockey club. 4t
IF | am given the warrants to serve
on the race track people, said Chief of
Police Reynolds this afternoon, they will
be served You can say that 1t is foolisl,
for the sheriff to say that he will interfere
in the matter. What right has he to inter
fere? If the warrants are bona-fde on
their face, that is all the authority | need
to serve them and no one else can inter-
fere. The legality of such a warrant is
not for any petty officer to decide. Such
questions must be settled by the courts
and the sheriff goes too far when he says
he will decide that the city police have no
jurisdiction.

Did Colbert ever say to you what dis

He did. Once, in 1904, he said he

Cannon replied.
Lippincott Had the Will.
Mr.. Cannon said, under cross-examina-

Brotzki with fif- teen companions escaped, and together with the officer and his sweetheart came to New York. the officer having in his possession a bag containing gold dust, which. according to Brotzki, he was afraid to sell openly. as it might lead to his arrest as a deserter.

 Continued.

Washington. November 25.-The hearing of the case of the five labor leaders claiming to be accredited officers of the Knights of Labor, whose trial for alleged forcble entry into the national head quarters of the organization has been go- ing on for several days, was continued today, but without reaching a conclusion, the case being adjourned until Friday.
 Henry A. Hicks of New York, general worthy foreman of one of the factions. testified that he did not know the name of the man who claimed to be the leader and gained entrance to the building. He admitted that certain charges dated July 1T, 1900, filed against him when he was general master workman of the order, were still pending in November last, when he presided over the Niagara Falls con- vention.
 Counsel for the defendants produced evidence to show that the five men came to Washington with bonafide belief that as officers of the Knights of Labor they were entitled to take possession of the headquarters in the street building.

 FEELING HAPPY
SAY THEY HAVE WON THEIR POINT AND ARE READY TO SHOW PUBLIC THAT WAGES PAID ARE ENOUGH.

Scranton, Pa, November 25.-The inde- pendent operators committee on their return from New York tonight, were all gladness and smiles. We have won our point" said Dr. J. N. Rice of the River side Coal company. We are ready to show to the public that we are paying all the wages our business warrants and that an agreement with John Mitchells organization Is undesirable because of it's unAmerican ideas. The big companies have come to our way of thinking and a settlement out of court is no longer a possibility"

LETTER FROM MIR. WHITE.
Writes to Henry seIIgman of Treat
 ment of Hebrews In Roumana.
.oHN MITCHELL

Berlin, November 25.-A private letter written by Ambassador White to Henry Seigman of Frankfort-on-the-Ma Maine re- garding the treatment of Hebrews in Roumania appears in the F'rankfuerter Zeitung today. The letter, which was not intended for present publication, is in part as follows:
 "The Roumanian atrocities are simply monstrous and startle the civilized world have just received the Rouman- ian Bulletin. No document equals 1t in cruelty since the series of laws with which Louis XIV persecuted the Huge nots. But even these, which have hither- to been regarded as the acme of cruelty, are exceeded by those in the Bulletin. I cannot believe that rfght-thinking Rou- manians or the civilized powers can all low this condition of things to continue. It appears to be open defiance of law, justice and common decency."

PREMIUM ADVANCING.
Yesterday $2.s5 Mexican Silver Was
 Required to Buy $1 American.

Mexico City. November 25-The premium on New York exchange continues to ad- vance and is today 1S5-that is, $2.S5 in Mexican silver Is required to buy one American gold dollar. The large farmers fin the interior and planters throughout the country say they don't care if the dollar falls to 30 cents, as the importers want gold.
 They urge that the silver be kept in the country. The importers are refusing to make prices on machinery except in gold. Bankers realize that payments coming due will be made with dollars consider ably less in value than were rendered at the inception.
 The country is undeniably very prosper ous and there is natural hesitation in taking radical measures which might give business a decided setback.

 MT. Lloyd interposed the following:

Committee Appointed to Notify the Various Unions and
 Peace. is Near
GEN. GOMEZ GIVES THE
 STRIKERS CONDEMNATION
There May Be Some Little Difficulty, But the Backbone of the Strike
 Is Broken-WiIl Return to Work.

Havana. November 25.-The central la bor union tonight decided to call off the strike and committees were appointed to inform the various unions of this deci- sion. There probably will be complete resumption of work tomorrow.
 Much of the credit for the settlement of the strike is due to General Gomez. who headed the committee which consulted to- day the officials of the Havana Commer- cial company, against whom the strike was first directed. After the conference General Gomez and the majority of the committee expressed themselves as satis- fled at the stand the company had taken. The officials maintained that they had not discriminated against Cuban appren- tices, the fact being that the company's books showed that over 90 per cent of its apprentices were Cubans. The company would maintain and even increase this ratio, but it refused to treat with the central labor union in matters pertaining to it's employees. The officials said that they were always willing to meet com mittee made up of workers from their factories and they agreed to open the AdcholiSS dSdlh IL lHe ihSh ASeoAHON eO work.
 General Gomez and the committee af- forwards met the Central Labor union and the old warrior did not spare words in his condemnation of the action of the union in calling out the workmen. He said 1t was revolution and not a strike, that the war veterans stood ready to take up arms in support of the govern ment in order to maintain order. That ended the strike as far as the Central Labor union was concerned. It did not care to brave General Gomez's wrath and word was sent out as soon as possible to have the men return to work. There may be some difficulty with the local unions, but the backbone of the strike Is broken, and tomorrow will undoubtedly see most of fi4 a sal,dPf4e af xvf,rlk1 -a sst 't'
