Determined Not to Grant Demand
for Higher Wages.

About fifteen members of the Master
Plasterers' Association attended a meet
ing OF that organization in the Office OF
President Thomas E. Landon. I419 G
Street northwest. yesterday. At the
meeting. it is said. the masters talked
over the strike which the journeymen
plasterers are waging at the present
time The members OF the association
are determined to reject the demands for
an Increase OF wages from - to $3.50.
Yesterday. II is said. they came to the
conclusion that the journeymen's demand
was unreasonable. and resolved to main,
the matter.
The strikers will hold their regular
weekly meeting Monday night in their
hall at ur-and-a-haIf Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue. 1t is believed the
masters. who submitted one proposition
TO the plasterers, which the latter
promptly rejected. Will make another at
tempt to arbitrate the difficulties on
Monday evening. Even il the masters
make no further advances at that meet
ing. IL is believed strikers will accept
the proposition which the masters sub
mitted several days ago. and return to
work Immediately on condition that the
increase for which they now ask shall go
into effect on November l.
At meeting OF the Steam and Hot
Water Filters Helpers Union, held last
evening at 922 Pennsylvania Avenue
northwest, 1t was announced that two
other firms had decided to grant .he
increase in wages from $1.6O to 81 per
day. This makes eight firms which have
acceded to the demand, and the officials
of the Helpers Union say that only
sixty-f men are out Of work at the
present time. The two latest firms to
agree to the new scale OF wages are the
contractors doing work at the New Will
lard Hotel and the Government Hos
pital for the Insane.
The Master Steamftters' Association
will maintain the stand taken at the
first intimation Of a strike. None OF
the members OF the association have
weakened as yet, and they aver they
will not grant the increase. Those firms
which have agreed to the new scale OF
wages are not IA the association. and.
according to the members OF the asso-
citation, have their Offices under their
hats"

SLIGHT HOPES HELD OUT.

Former Crown Princess Not Ex-
 pected to Recover.
 Vienna, Nov 1O.-The doctors give slight hopes of the Countess Lonyay formerly the Grown Princess Stephanie of Austria, widow of Archduke Rudolph, ever re- gaining her good health, though her symptoms are not so alarming as some reports make out.
 Her private secretary. in an interview, says the Countess Is suffering from an illness dating from her first marriage He denies the reports that she is in finan- cial trouble and says Emperor Francis Joseph is exceedingly generous and while she also receives a large allowance from Belgium, the relations between the Count ess and her father, King Leopold, are in no sense those of father and dughter.
 This estrangement was reflected at the recent meeting of Emperor Francis Jo- seph and King Leopold when there was not the slightest evidence of real friend ship between them.
 Referring to the family law suits bear. ing on the late Queen Marie Henrietta { estate, the Secretary declared the Count ess was too noble-hearted to sue her father and she had returned all the cita- uons of the Brussels Court calling upon her to declare her rights to the inherit anaa
