A Multitude at Deport Gives Him a
 Royal Welcome.

Tacoma, Wash, May 22.-Under a favorable blue sky, the presidents train rolled into the Northern Pacific depot promptly on time this afternoon. A multitude thronged the streets about the station and rent the air with cheers.
 Little time was spent in the official reception. While the introductions to the reception committee were made, the guns of the revenue cutter McCul- loch lying in the harbor, fired salute of 21 guns.
 As the president emerged from the canopy of flags at the station and en- tered the carriage, accompanied by Gov. Mcbride, Mayor Campbell and Secretary Loeb, the crowd broke into cheers which the president promptly acknowledged. Fifteen carriages swung into line while an escort of mounted police and cavalry fromed a guard.
 At Division avenue, the escort of c. A. R. and Spanish-American veterans dropped out of the parade and the president was taken through the resi- dence section, passing many of the public school buildings where the children grouped and gave. him an en- thusiastic reception. All the business and residence streets were profusely decorated with flags and festoons. Pictures of the president were to be seen on all sides. The streets were packed with people and the demonstra- tions kept the president busy lowing his acknowledgements. Aside from the presidential party, the distinguished guests in carriages included among others, Senators Foster and Ankeny, of Washington; Mitchell, of Oregon; Congressman Cushman, Jones and Humphrey of Washington; Brig. Gen. Funston, Captain Blocker, commandant of the naval station at Bremerton; Supt. c. S.

Passes Second Readtng-Checrs nnd
 Irony for Chamberlain.
 London, May 22.-In the course of a discussion in the House of Commons to-day of, the Old Age pension bill, which ultimately passed it's second reading, and was referred to select committee for further consideration, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain spoke favorably of the general question of pensions for the deserving poor. He said it was largely a financial question. The secretary thought it mikht not be impossible to get the necessary funds, though no doubt, there would have to be that review of the British fiscal system" which he had indicated as necessary and desirable at an early date.''%

CRANK LETTERS,
Appearing tn Matt for Russian Am-
 bassaIor and Secretary Hay.

Washington, May 22.-Crank letters are now appearing in the mail of the Russian ambassador, Count Cassini. They criticise his utterances and attack his arguments concerning the character of the Russian Jews. Secretary Hay is also getting his share of such communi- cations. These letters, however, give no serious concern to either the secre- tary or the ambassador.
 Count Cassini had intended to leave the United States next Tuesday for a vacation in Russia. but he now finds himself obliged to remain until June g.. Secretary Hay and the ambassador had long conference to-day, presumably with reference to the status of the Jews in Russia aud the utterances of the American newspapers in that connec- tion.

ACTION OF BRIDGEPORT LINE MEN AS TO SYMPATHETIC MOVE

Vote to Leavo the Matter of Going Ont
 i'm the Hands of the Executive Conn
 mitteo of Their National Orgauiza-
 tion-Crews of Four Express Cars
 Called Ont.
 Bridgeport. May 22.-The only deveI- opment in the trolley strike tonight is the reliability that all the linemen em- plcyed in this city will go out on sym pathetic strike. At a meeting of the linemen held. tonight it was voted to leave the matter in the hands of the ex- ecutive committee of the National Elec- trical Workers union. two members of which are in this city. It is not prob able that the strike will in any way cripple the company.
 The crews of the four express cars running between New Haven and Nor walk were called out to-day by the union. The crews of these cars have been allowed to run heretofore. but in view of the fact that MT. Cole, the man. ager of the line, has been riding on the cars in Bridgeport, the union officials decided that they would discontinue further courtesies.

BREAK IN BAKERS STRIKE.
SEVERAL MASTER BAKERS HAVE
 SIGNED AGREEMENTS.
More Are Likely to Sign This Morning Concessions Have Been Made by Both Good Fridny-Cut in Ovcr.time Fay.

Good Friday-- Cut in Ovef.tine Fay.
 The situation regarding the bakers strike was changed yesterday by the signing of quite number more of the master bakers of the Bakers Union proposition. In all twelve master ba- kers signed yesterday, .acceding to the union demands, as was stated by the journeymen bakers last night. Among these are Copperthwate the pie baker, who bought the Olds pie bakery, Otto Winzen of State street, corner of Law renee street, Olof Laurin of 430 State street. Win. R. Bertram, 774 Grand avenue, and John M. Mueller, S3 Put nam street. The journeymen bakers made concession on their part by agreeing to work nights for the pres ent, giving their employers reasonable time in which to enlarge their plants say several weeks. They say that the charge of unreasonableness against the journeymen bakers is disposed of be- cause of their willingness to work nights for the present.
 Most of the leading bakers such as S. s. Thompson. Michael Hessler and others have not acceded to the unions demands,
 . A meeting of the Master Bakers as- sociation will be held at S. S. Thomp- ons, at o'clock this morning. At this meeting, it is stated the master bakers, who have not signed as yet, will attach their names to the articles of agree ment if certain concessions are made.
 The journeymen bakers, in gaining their point for day work, thus far have conceded two important points to the master bakers. The journeymen will work on Good Friday and will receive but twenty-five cents instead of fifty cents per hour for overtime work.
 One of the master bakers stated last evening that the entire trouble would probably be settled by noon, to-day, and that the journeymen will be at work on Sunday.

DEF TO LABOR UNIONS.
ULTTMATUM ISSUED TO NEW
 YORK STRTK FRS.

Building Trades Employers' Associa- tion Fires the First shot-cannos con-
 sidsr Any Advance in wagss-Gsve
 Men Until June 1 to Apply for Their
 Old Positions.
 New York. May 22.-The first shot in the fight of the Building Trades Elm ployers' association. since its organiza- tion, was fired tonight, when the Iron League, the Employers Association of Architectural Iron Workers and the As- sociation of Wire Work Manufacturers of New York, issued this def to the la- bor organizations:
 "The undersigned, on investigation, find that the wages paid to ornamental iron workers, in greater New York, are from ten to twenty per cent higher than are paid in other cities, whose manu- lecturers compete with us in this city. We, therefore, cannot consider any ad- vance in wages. and have decided to post the following notice at the various plants:
 This shop will be open May 25. Men desiring to return to work must apply for their old positions before June l., or other men will be employed to take their places
 Additions are being made to the em- ployers' association. the Master Truck men being the latest to enter. Their ac- tion is likely to have vital significance because the demands of the newly or ganized Material Drivers union made the starting point of the whole agitation by reason Of the lockout of those driv- CTS by the proprietors of lumber yards.
 Figures differ as to the number of men now affected. The masters say that by the ultimatum of the Iron League and associated concerns. ten thousand men of the iron workers will be affected. The carpenters, they estimate at 10000; the teamsters at 4500: the bricklayers at 7,500: the plasterers at $500, and the plasterers helpers at about 15,000. John J. Donovan. chairman of the United Board of Building Trades, however, said to-day that the number of men affected by the building trades difficulty would not amount to more than 15,000.

DEFALCATION IS DOUBLED
WESTPORT BANK IN WORSE THAN FIRST THOUGHT.
Reliable Information Now That Form or Cashier Oliver sherwood's Shortage win Reach Close to $2OO, O0-Notes of of S62,000, Already Redeemed, Sold Co Others.

Others.
 Westport, May 22-It was learned to- night from a source that is absolutely reliable that the amount of the defelca- tion of Oliver Sherwood, the former cashier of the Westport National bank, first thought to be about $100,000. will reach very close to $200,0G0. The off, cials of the bank will not confirm this, in so far as it relates to exact figures, but they admit that the loss to the bank is much more serious that was at first supposed.
 In addition to the money taken from the bank, Sherwood, it is confidently believed, has disposed of notes issued by the town of Westfield. These notes had already been redeemed by the town, so that the present holders of the notes will be the losers. There is just $62,000 Involved in this deal.
 The operations of the missing cashier are now known to have been much deeper than was originally supposed could have been the case. Not the least disturbing feature of the case, so far as Sherwood's relatives are concerned, is the fact that the young man has been leading double life for some time past. Mrs. Sherwood is prostrated with grief because of her husbands actions.
 Although the Westport National bank is officially closed, numerous farmers are coming to town daily from sur- rounding suburbs in an effort to draw their money.
