TERMS REFUSED.
Montreal Strikers Decline Offer
of Street Car Company.

Montreal, Feb. THE employees OF the
Montreal street railway at a meeting
today refused to ratify the terms agreed
upon by their committee and President
Forget of the railway company for d
settlement of the strike which begun
Thursday night.
President Forget met a committee OF
the strikers last night at the request
of Mayor Cochran. After some dis
cussion President Forget announced
that the company was ready to grant
the men an advance of 10 per cent,
recognize the union and reinstate men
recently discharged unless their dis
missaI had been for just cause.
The committee seemed well satisfied
with the terms and it was generally be
Ieved that the end of the strike was
IN sight. A meeting of the employees
was called at 10.30 a. IN. to ratify the
terms of settlement.
tt soon became apparent that a ma
jOrity of the men would be satisfied
with nothing short of a complete capitu-
3at1On on the part of the railway COM
pany. Speeches were made urging the
men to refuse the terms unless they in
cluded certain articles of the mems de-
mands, which required an increase in
/ the working force of the company and
provided that no suspensions whatever
were to be made permanent.
Conservative leaders among the men
urged the strikers to accept the con-
eessiOns but they were cried down and
when vote was taken the proposed
basis of settlement was defeated

Mr.. BRISTOW DENIES.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Won't Resign.

Washington, Feb. 7-Mr. J. i. Bris-
tow, fourth assistant postmaster gem
eraI, has returned from a two weeks
visit in Kansas. While out in his ma
tive state General Bristow purchased
a newspaper plant, and the announce
ment of the fact caused a renewal Of
the rumors that he is to retire from his
present position in the government
service. The general stated today that
he had no intention of resigning, and
further. that he was getting very weary
of hearing that resignation report
which had been circulated almost
weekly for the last three years.
It is known. however, that certain
influential political friends of Repre-
sentative Dave Mercer, who failed of
reelection in the Second Nebra ska
district are urging the administration
to find place for him, preferably one
in the postoffice department. Several
senators and representatives have
urged the Nerbaskan for General Bris-
tow's place and have used considerable
influence to effect the change.

coal consigned to the state Institu-
tons would be a good thing2"
7 can see no objection to such a
statute"
Mr. Nudge stated that as far as the
Santa Fe is concerned no more coal
consigned to state institutions will be
conf1scat ted
Attorney General Coleman was then
called to answer some legal questions
regarding cOnfiscation He said he did
not understand that the railroads claim
any legal right to take the coal, but they
plead the necessity which comes from
a lack of coal and their duty to the
public.
j. T. Moore, a newspaper man of
P1ttSburg, was put on the stand and
told of the conditions in the Crawford
county district. He attributed the fam
inc TO the greater demand for coal in
the industrial world and the anthracite
strike which not only cut off consid-
cradle supply which has come to Kansas
from the east. but has taken some of
the Kansas east to help make up
the deficiency there Mr.. Moore also
suggested that the farmers are using
more coal than formerly.
Three or four years ago." he said,
I'VE had a coal famine and according to
newspaper reports the farmers out in
western Kansas burned corn instead of
coal, because the price of corn was SO
low that they could afford to do it. Now
corn is high and they buy coal instead
Of burning corn"
Mr.. Moore said that the retail price
Of coal had increased 80 per cent in
Pittsburg, but that the wages paid the
miners have not been increased during
the past year.
The commission has adjourned pntn
next Monday afternoon. The senate has
passed a resolution giving it ten days
but it has not yet been passed by the
house

Paris, Feb. 7.-The correspondent OF

the sultan has ordered the mobilization
of 100000 men and has requisitioned all
the steamers Of Idarei Afassousieh COM
pany to transport these troops who are
to reinforce the second and third army

Commenting on this dispatch the
Figaro says this action on the part of
the sultan greatly complicates the situ-
alton in Macedonia.
A NOTE FOR THE SULTAN.
Paris. Feb. 7.-Oficial advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that the sultan of Turkey has or
dered the immediate mobilization of 240.
600 troops for a military demonstration
in Macedonia. The step taken is re-
garded with apprehension by the French
officials as being likely to involve COM
plications between Turkey and Russia
and Austria. 1t is said that the Russian
and Austrian governments have greed
on a firm note to the sultan which wilt
be presented within the next few days
insisting on administrative and official
reforms in Macedonia. Although Francs
viii not be a party to the note she will
approve of it.
1t is considered that the sultan's mob
ilizatiOn OF such an army is clearly an
effort to forestau the presentation Of
this note. The mobilization of so many
troops is regarded here as unWise and
dangerous, especially as it is said that
the soldiers who are to be brought into
Macedonia from Asiatic Turkey are
semi barbarOus leVieS and are hostile to
rate another series of massacres. It IS
understood the powers are exchanging
views as to the course to be pursued
towards the mobilization Of Turkish

IT MAY PISS.
Bill to Increase Governors Sal
airy FaVorably Received.

When house bill No. 410, by the ways
and means committee, calling for
raise in the salary of governor from So
600 to $1,000, came before the committee
of the whole. Representative Buckliu
opposed the passage of the bill on the
grounds that if any raise in salary was
accorded state employees 1t should begin
with the man who was working for a
salary Of $40 per month and boarding
himself Representative jerks came
back a him by declaring that the state
of Kansas could we'll afford to support
a chief executive without allowing him
to lose $1,000 a year IN an effort to keep
up appearances and perform the social
duties imposed on him by his position.
Representative jerks was followed by
Representative Bale Waggener, the
father of the bill. who said that a bill
was under consideration in congress to
raise the salary of president from $4,000
to 100000. Il think he should get $780,.
000," said Representative Waggener.
''and if a president is worth 100000, our
governor is surely worth $1,000 The
sentiment was applauded by the house,
and the bill referred back to the house
with the recommendation that it be
passed.
ternoon when Representative Tucker of
Greenwood was on the defensive and
his position was attacked by Represen-
tative Bun" Adams of Butler county.
l.
whole and fuckers bill, No. 239. which
had been referred to the committee or
the whole came up for discussion. The
bill provides for an amendment of the
general statutes. and makes a provision
that school boards. of cities OF the sec
ond class, can, with the sanction of the
state superintendent. and without con-
sultine the will of the people refund
any floating Indebtedness to an amount
not exceeding S5. 900 at any one time AS
soon as the bill was read it was hastily
attacked by Adams. who went after It
as vicious, extraordinary and paving
the way to corruption" He said that
his home town, EIDorado. was demand
ing that school expenses be lowered and
fiOatin Indebtedness wiped out
Representative Tucker came back at
him in defense of his bill, and let out q
few lines Of the Oratory for which he
was noted as a Washburn student sew
eraI years ago. He said that the only
! lowered by shortening the school term
or shOrt-changing the teacher, might
be the proper system for Missouri, Ar
kansas or Butler county. but that the
intelligent people Of Greenwood wanted
/ it otherwise
Representative Adams started again.
and to stop the trouble someone broka
I in and made a motion to rise and re-
/ port Is a committee of the whole.
Adams says fuckers bill is a bad one
and conducive to highway robbery ana
\ other crimes. and that he will fight it
to finish unless Tucker consents to
change it and give the people of the
school district involved a chance TO vote
on the measure instead of vesting all
J the power in the school board.
1t is rumored that If his bill is beaten
! Representative Tucker viii prepare n
similar one which shall apply only IL
get one of that kind through withou-
! opposition.
