in Chicago.

Philadelphia, March 6.-The Public
Ledger to-day says: Never in the his
tory of the window glass industry in this
country, it is said, have manufacturers
and jobbers been confronted with such a
serious situation as at present. If the
plans Of number of leading producers
to close down their factories temporarily
are successful, it is said, higher prices
are assured, while if it fails, it is pre-
dicted here that the most ruinous price
war which has ever been inaugurated
will be a certainty.
There is only one safe way out of the
difficulty said a leading local jobber,
land that is by closing the factories. IL
suspension of operations takes place, a
better demand for glass will naturally fol-
low, and all are assured profitable prices
on their present holdings and the output
of factories between now and the time
when a shut down is decided upon by a
majority Of producers.
IF, however, sufficient number OF
manufacturers persist in working their
factories, prices are sure to be cut SO
deep that every box Of glass made dur
ing the coming season will have to be
sold at loss. In the event of the fac
tories failing to go out of blast cut of
40 per cent would not surprise us, and
those familiar with the business, the cost
of material and high wages, know what
that means" s,r T. -.
It has been estimated by those in a po-
sition to know, that there are now in the
hands of the manufacturers about 2,000,-
900 boxes of glass, half of which is in the
warehouse of the American Window Glass
| company. " ~

COAL STRIKE FINDINGS
The New York Herald Makes q
Shrewd Guess as to What
They Will Be.

New York March 6.-The Herald prints
the following summary of the find
ings Of the coal strike commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt which it 10
expected will be handed to the president
within a week.
There will undoubtedly be at least g. 10
per cent advance in the pay for mining,
to take effect from the time the miners
returned to work last October. The per
diem employees will not have their wages
increased but will be recommended for
the same pay for day of nine hours.
The system Of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable, the operators will
be required to pay by weight, instead OF
by the car, and elsewhere by the IneaI
yard The miners will have check dock
ing representatives at their own expense.
This will practically amount to a second
increase in wages.
There will be indirect recognition OF the
union, which will come when the findings

union.
The causes of the strike as found by the
commission will not be comfortable to the
coal mining companies
The boycott will be condemned and the
principle will be laid down that miner
has right to work without molestation.
even though he does not belong to the
union.
The terms of the verdict are to hold
good for three years and recommendation
are to be made for settlement OF wage
and other questions at the end OF that
period.
In local disputes the operators will be
advised to treat with committees of the
miners and there may be a suggestion for
local boards OF arbitration.

Chicago, March 6.--Thes American
Smelling and Refining company has made
important concessions to its $50 employees
at the Chicago plant. Engineers are to
receive the same wages for an eight-hour
day they have been paid for twelve hours;
firemen will receive 10 cents more for the
shorter day. and other employees are simi-f
larly affected. = --z -, q
The $500 machinists of Chicago have
agreed to make demands on May for a
IS per cent increase in wages, a regular
nine hour day and seven hour day dur
ing slack seasons. On referendum vote
these demands were Endorsed by ma
iority ranging from 70 to IS per cent.
Many of the shops are granting the con-
ditions asked and all are expected to do
so before the date set.
Building contractors have succeeded in
getting the carpenters to waive their
demands for the reinstatement of the
sympathetic strike clause in the new
working agreements. The carpenters

entail unions in the building trades, and

gagged in controversy with their employees

Philadelphia, March 6.-The Philadel-

WHAT'S HIS MISSION
Leung Kai Chew Said to Be Here to
Accumulate Funds for the
Rebel Movement. -
Chinese Empire Reform Associations
in Canada and q. S. to Be
Touched" .u=

Victoria, B. c., March s.-The report is
current among the local Chinese mer-
chants that the object of the coming Of
Leung Kai Chew, first lieutenant of Kang
You Wei, to this continent is to accumu-
late funds for the rebel movement now
going on in southern China and to arrange
for the shipment Of arms and war NUM-
lions for the rebels. Leung Kai Chew
says he has come to make arrangements
for the establishment Of a mercantile COM
pany.
Native papers just received by local
Chinese, report that the leader Of the rebel
movement in southern China in Canton
is Leung Kwong. Local Chinese point out
that it Is interesting to note that his fam
lily name is the same as of Leung Kai
Chew, who arrived with his party by the
Empress of India. They also point out
the fact that, like Kang Yu Wei, Leung
Kai Chew is a Cantonese.
Inc Chinese papers report that Leung
Kali Chew has circulated pamphlet in
South China in which he advances the
opinion that the people of Kwang ST and
Kwang Tung, the seat Of the instruction
now prevailing, should secede from China
and establish q kingdom made up of the
two kwangs. To further this scheme, so
the reports go, Leung Kai Chew has come
to this continent to accumulate funds by
subscription at all the numerous branches
of the Chinese Empire Reform associa-
lions in Canada and in the United States.
1t is also reported that the program in
cludes the arrangement for the shipment
of arms from this coast to China.

POLICE LACK
The EVIDENCE
But They Still "Feel Sure That
They Know Who Killed
Mr.. Burdick.
A Woman Whose Name Has APP
peared in the Case Makes
Stout Denial.

Buffalo, N. Y, March 6.--Despite the
fact that the police and officials Of the
district attorneys office have declared re-
peatedly and continue to assert that they
were morally certain of the identity of
the person who murdered Edwin L. Bur
dick and that that person was a woman,
they still hesitate to make a decisive move.
Suggestions that might give clue to the
motive for the murder have been eagerly
sought and sifted. Innumerable clues have
been followed. The police say many of
these have strengthened their suspicious
until they are almost positive Of the iden-
tity of the murderer, but material evil
dence is lacking. Other clues have either
led to nothing or resulted in more mys-
terry. ~. ...-.. ,.. - -.
The police are less communicative to-
day, and there is a widespread feeling
that they are at standstill for the pres
ent, at least. In theory, the police are in
a position to lay their hands upon the
murderer at any moment, but have no di-
rect evidence that would warrant an ar
rest, and they are no nearer the solution
Of the mystery than they were one week
ago, when the murder was discovered. An
official in a position to know the exact sit
uation said:
I'm actual evidence which would sup
port an arrest we are as badly off as we

The State Will Have to Give the
Battleship Minnesota the :.

Public Subscriptions and Legisla-
tive Appropriation Will Be
Expected.


From The Journal Bureau, Room 49, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington March 6.--The fact that
the government is to name one of its ne"
battleships after the north star state
means that by hook crook there must
be collected in the state some $4,000 or
$4,000 with which to purchase a suitable
silver service for the vessel. There is TO
great hurry. because the ship cannot he
built under about four years
In other states which have been thus
honored, the method Of raising the money
for the silver service mas, varied. In some
instances the legislatures nave voted the
money out Of the state treasury. In others
the money has come partly from Pc state
treasury and partly from private st:nr'rip-
ton.
The latest ship to be put into cornI'l'S-
sion is the Illinois at the mouth OF The
Chesapeake bay about a year ago. me
silver service was purchased Jointly by
the legislature and by private subscription
and was an elaborate affair. Governor
Yates, his staff, the state officers. a
number of prominent citizens not in pub
lie life. the delegation in both houses of
congress and many ladies went down the
bay and took part in the presentation on
board the ship. There was dance and a
reception and the event was long re-
membered for it's social features. In the
case of the Illinois the legislature agreed
! to set apart certain portion Of the sill
yer service fund provided the public
| would do the rest something after the
manner of the gifts of rich men to i'll
! situations of learning.
In addition to furnishing a silver service

christening of the battleship by some
young lady born in the state, to be Sc
lected probably by the governor, who viii

to the mills and loaded out with flour.
This piratical action was regarded by
the company as absolutely necessary
Every effort to get relief from the roads
had failed. At the big flour-mak1ng
plant the situation was desperate. The
mills were choked with flour. There were
no cars. None could be obtained. The
railroads simply replied that the company
had received its allotment from the cars
available, and they could do no more for
the time being. 1t was case of get cars
at once or close the mills. 1t was the time
for genius to assert itself. f.. .. ..@..- sz
One of the milling company's shipping
men said if he had the power to move the
cars he would get them, or know the rea-
son why. H. ~ . ~ .-s
A hint was enough for the man in
charge. Fifty dollars was nothing to the
company if it could get an engine. Imme-
diately there began some lively skirnish-
ing, and after an hour of inquiry and an
other hour of diplomatic fine work, an en-
CINE was secured. One man says it was
| a regular Chicago Great Western engine,
| another that it was Minneapolis & ST.
| Louis engine of ancient type, that had
been abandoned by the road. But it was
! an engine all right. a..
| A crew went, aboard, the pirate chief
who knew where the empties lay took
command, and quietly as possible the
| locomotive slid away into the "stilly
night" and the raid was on
One by one the cars were run down and
hauled away. The yards In and around
! the mills were secured, and at a cost OF
$50, or about $2.77 car, the box-car buc-
| cancers landed eighteen cars and saved the
! day.
Mills VIII Ignore Embargo
| Yesterday afternoon the mi!lers at a
short conference decided to ignore the
= order of the roads respecting east-bound
| shipments The Milwaukee and Omaha
roads instructed their men not to receipt
for cars loaded out for eastern points con
l trary to orders. The n1tlers on the other
hand directed their men to load every
empty car they could lay hold of regard
i less of what the roads may order. SO fal
the roads have backed down and have
j taken the flour under protest. The mills
really have the roads on the hip, since the
roads must avoid congestion at all haZ-
ards. The roads cannot refuse to take
i cars of wheat to the milsl as they must
u empty the cars They therefore send
them to the mills but tell the millers they
must turn them back empty, unless they
load them for local points on the road

At a meeting tomorrow the question or
