GENERAL STRIKE PROBABLE.
Situation at Denver Rapidly Becoming
Worse

Denver, May 15.-The strike situa-
tion here has reached critical stage.
The Citizens Alliance committee has
decided to adhere to it's original propo-
sition for the creation of one general
arbitration board to which all dis
putes shall be referred. The proposal
of the labor unions executive commit
tee to refer each difference to O. com
mittee of the employers and employees
directly interested for arbitration was
rejected and resolution was adopted
declaring that plan to be "unreason-
able, unnecessary and unduly cumber-
some"
Unless the labor committee recedes
from the position heretofore taken q
general strike will be ordered within
tWenty-four hours.
The number of union men now on
strike is 2,490, the majority being
butchers and meat cutters, cooks and
walters and bakers. Thousands OF
people are very much inconvenienced
by the closing of restaurants, bakeries
and butcher shops. If a general strike
occurs $4,000 to 10000 men will be
involved. The trouble originated in
the refusal of employers, who organ
lied the Citizens Alliance, to sign
contracts with the unions.

NO RIGHT TO SEARCH,
Decision Affecting Wisconsin Fish and
Game Law.

Oshkosh, Wis, May 15-That por,
tion of the state fish and game law
which purported to give wardens the
right to search cars and boats for sus
pected contraband fish and game is
unconstitutional. That is the ruling
of the Winnebago county court, and
that by Induction is the ruling of the
state supreme court. Last fall Le-
fever, captain of the steamer of the
same name, was arrested for forcibly
ejecting two game wardens who at
tempted to search his steamer for
contraband. Lefever was discharged
in the lower court on the ruling above
noted. The case was appealed to the
supreme court and the appeal was
dismissed on the application of the at.
torney general. This was the decision
of the Oshkosh judge as the law in
the case.

THE FOOLS PRAYER.

The royal feast was done: the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And to his jester cried: "Slr Fool,
Kneel now. and make for us prayer!"
The Jester doffed his cap and bells.
And stood the hooking court before:
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarchs silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord.
BE mcrciful to me, fool
''No pity, Lord. could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but, Lord,
BE mercifpl to me. n fool!
"Tis no. by guilt the onward sweep
or truth and right. o Lord, we stay;
IT'S by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from Heaven away.
-'Thcse clumsy feet still In the miro,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we
thrust
Among the heart-strings of friend.
"The ill-timed truth we might have kept
Who knows how sharp 1t pierced ana
stung!
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly it had rung!
rOur faults no tenderness should ask.
The Christening stripes must cleanse
them all;
But for our blunders-O. in shame
Before the eyes of Heaven We fall.
earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the iSnave and scourge the
tool
That did his will; but thou. o Lord,
Be mercifui to me- fool!'
The room was hushed: in silence rose
The king. and sought his gardens cool,
and walked apart, and murmured low:
BE merciful to me. fool"
