QUIET AT WATERBURY.
No Indication for IA Settlement of
the Strike.

Ihe Strlke.
Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb. 5.-Water-
bury has a less warlike aspect to-
night than at any time since the mill
tia took a hand in the control of af-
fairs. The late afternoon was marked
by the beginning of the withdrawal of
the troops, the First Regiment of the
c. N. G., consisting of nine companies,
commanded by Col Schulze, leaving
for Hartford at sos p. m. The depar-
ture, together with the fact that a
committee was at work trying to bring
about a settlement, increased in the
minds of many citizens the hopeful
feeling which had prevailed ever since
last nights peaceful conditions seem
ed to indicate that the unruly spirits
of the mob had been subdued.
After a session lasting one hour
and a half, however, the conferees
parted, with settlement of the difficult
ty as far away apparently as ever
The representatives of the strikers
and of the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company found themselves
entirely at variance, and when the
conference ended, the Executive Com
mittee of the Trolley Mems Union an
nounced that they would recommend
III their report to the union tomorrow
that the strike be continued.
During the conference Col. Burpee,
attorney for the railway, said the conn
pany would take back about twenty
five of the eighty men on strike if they
desired to return to work, but could
not promise places for more, in fair
ness to the men who are now running
the cars. The strikers declined fatty
to return under these conditions.
Mayor Kilduff and the two executive
committees of the union men said that
the trolley men would agree to drop
the demand for the reinstatement of
Kelley and Barrett, two of the men
discharged by the company, provided
that all the other strikers could have
their old places, at the increased rate
of wages and the hours of labor ask
ed for in their original demands. To
this request Col Burpee replied that
he could not accede.
Late tonight reports from all the
car lines showed that everything was
quiet and that there had been no dis
turbances during the evening. There
was a decided drop in temperature
about sunset, and this, by keeping
idlers indoors, assisted the work of the
militia.

RUMORS OF A RISING.
Austrian Minister, However, Says
Macedonia fs Peaceful

MnceNOn1n Is Pencefuh.
London, Feb. 5.-There has been no
new development in the Kalkan sit
uation since the publication on Jan 20
of the French yellow book, detailing
the Franco-Russian efforts during the
past year to induce Turkey to institute
Macedonian reforms, which gave a
gloomy account of the situation in
Macedonia. In Vienna it is stated that
the Powers have not yet presented
Count Lamsdorff's reform proposals to
Turkey.
The supposition is that the Russian
and American ministers, being agreed
in principle, left the elaboration Of the
reform details to the ambassadors in
Constantinople, who found 1t difficult
to agree upon the course to pursue,
and at Italy's instigation suggested a
modification of the demands of which
the publication is daily expected.
Numerous unconhrmed sensational
rumors are current with regard to the
expected rising in Macedonia in the
spring, and some serious Austrian and
Russian papers assume that the ques-
ton must soon be forced to a solution.
Count Welsersheimb, the Austrian
minister of national defense however,
in addressing the committee on the
Austrian military bill to-day, reiter
ated that the situation was peaceful
and that no ground existed for a mob
ilization of the army or any other ex-
traordinary measure.

ASKED FOR MOLINEUX'S
RABBIT FOOT.
StiH Trying to Get n Jury for the
Young Murder Trial.


New York, Feb. 5.-The trial of Will
liam Hooper Young, the grandson of
Brigham Young, accused of the murder
of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer, was continued
to-day. Three jurors were sworn yes
terday. Young looked better than yes
terday and walked into court, although
he had to be supported by two deputies.
He sank heavily into a chair and let
his head fall on the table in front of
him, but nevertheless took an interest
in the examination of the talesmen.
Four talesmen were examined and
excused for cause before the session
had been in progress ten minutes. Jus
tice Herrick included among his ques-
tions to the talesmen, Have you any
prejudice against any religious sect?"
During hull in the proceedings
Young said audibly to one of his coun-
sci. Cant you get me the Molineux
rabbit foot?"
AS the work of filing the jury box
went on, Young fell asleep, and for fif-
teen minutes slept peacefully, and then
relapsed into an appearance of semi
consciousness.
From one of the talesmen, Simon
Gieger, news was received of Joseph
Pulitzer, husband of the murdered
woman. Geiger said he heard that
Pulitzer was in Michigan two weeks
ago.
When recess was called there were
six jurymen in the box and Judge Her
rick ordered an extra panel of 100 tales
men.
During recess Young was under the
observance of medical experts, and
they reported that as yet they had
| found no evidence of insanity. He ate
his lunch with a good appetite and was
| able to walk to his seat in the court
room.
When the first panel of talesmen had
been exhausted, there were ten jury
men in the box, and Justice Herrick
adjourned court until tomorrow, when
it is expected the new panel of 100
talesmen will be present
