to complain Of pain in his throat, a
terrible anxiety seized the empress
and her children. She summoned DR..
Won Cuthold and asked him to ex-
anime her husband without, however,
exciting his anxiety. The first. ex-
animation only showed the existence
of a number of granulations. The
emperor, nevertheless, became more
and more taciturn. He spoke less and
had fewer Of those accesses Of charm
ing, frank gayety which render his
company so agreeable
The discordance Of his voice accen-
|uated, and in the morning and eve
ming especially he was extremely
husky. Professor Moritz Schmidt then
made an examination and diagnosed
the case as "geschwuelst," or tumor
of the vocal cords. He saw from the
horror-stricken face Of the empress
that, far from reassuring her, this
medical expression had been employed
in the first bulletin published regard
ing the malady of the Emperor Fred
erick. It is for this reason that in
the bulletins issued by Drs. Schmidt
Ilberg and Won Leuthord, the WORD
"stimmliphen' was used instead OF
| "stimmbaender,'' or vocal cords, and
"gutartige polyp, or benignant poly
lpus. instead Of "geschWuelst," Or tu-
NOR. These synonyms were chosen in
order not to further alarm the en-
press.
The imperial family fought the idea
of making the fact of the operation
public, but the emperor opposed Sc

and refused to examine the gripman's
injuries.
1t soon became apparent that a de-
termined effort was being made by the
company to break the strike at It's IN
ception. The passenger cars on the
Cottage Grove and Wentworth avenue
lines came along quickly as soon as
the mail cars were safely out OF sight.
No policemen rode in the cars which
irons apparently preferred to walk or
make long detours to steam and ele-
waited lines rather than risk injury.
Only -Four Dissented.
The strike was ordered at an early
morning mass meeting OF conductors,
motor1nen and gripmen, which acted
| with only four dissenting votes. The

ognition Of the union. About 5000
employees are involved and gao miles

To Guard Mail Cars.
Officials of the union, fearing inter-
ference with the mail service would
result in calling in of troops from Fort
| Sheridan, instructed motormen on
mail cars to report for duty as usual.
Union men who reported at the va
rious barns to take out the mail cars
were told by the barn bosses, 1t is
said. that they must take off their
union buttons If they intended to
work. This a number OF the met re-
/ fused to do.
The strikers distributed buttons to
would-be passengers bearing a picture

The railway company refused the
services of a union crew for mail
car sent out on Sixty-third street. The
union crew reported for work and
were not needed. The car was
& manned by non-union crew and the
q strikers said that the company had
played one Of its strongest cards for
8 federal interference. The mail car
that was stopped by the blockade in
81 Cottage Grove avenue was manned by
Junior men.

s The worst disorder Of the early
3 shours was at Clark and Van Buren,

{. bIockaded. On the rear passenger
train, q man believed to be Boss
Farrell, the strike breaker, rode be-
s side the motorman hourishing a re-
volver. A brick thrown struck the
, arm holding the weapon but did not
disable it.
The crowd yelled: Just like st.
Louis The first trains out on the
i Cottage Grove line finally succeeded
in making round trip, but the crews
are said to have deserted when the
barns were reached. A crowd Of 200
or more mostly boys, stopped a north
!. bound Cottage Grove avenue cable
train between Forty-seventh and For
/. ty-eighth streets by blocking the cable
slot. Bricks and stones were hurled
: at the crew and William Whitson, the
gripman, and H. S. Norton, the con-
! ductor, were injured. A riot call was
sent in but the crowd disappeared be-
2 fore the arrival Of the police.

his resumed negotiations with the
Italian government which, it is be-
lieved, will end the pope's long strug-
gle for temporal power. The pope, it
is claimed, will recognize the Italian
sovereignty In Rome, by accepting
the laws of guarantees of 1871, as q
partial compensation to the holy see
for the losses sustained because Of the
invasion of the papal states.
Piux x. it is believed, will consent
to take the annual compensation of
$640,O00 which the Italian govern
ment first offered to Plus TX. and
which, if accepted, would have made
the vatican richer by more than $15,-
600, 900 in the last thirty years. The
Italian government is willing to ac-
cept these conditions as they are the
ones offered to Plus TX. in 1870, and
now that the anti-clerical Zanarde-
nelli has resigned from office and the
more moderate Giolotti is premier
there is every probability that the ne
gotiations will have a happy ternlin-

Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12.-At 4 o'clock
this morning the long expected strug-s
gle between union employees of the
Chicago city railway and the COM
pany, began and when the residents
OF the south and southwest side
started for business they were without
the usual transportation facilities. Be-
ginning at midnight the trainmen
gradually took their cars to the seven
barns and power houses, the union
workers quit, declaring that they
would remain idle until the company
consents to arbitrate.
A few passenger cars were started
this morning early on various lines.
The result was trouble almost in
stanter, the first instance reported be-
ing the intimidation and fight Of q
non-union crew on the Cottage Grove
avenue line. The cars were without
passengers.
The Mayors Proclamation.
That disturbance might be expected
was indicated by the wide distribu-
ton of a proclamation by Mayor Car
off the streets along lines of the city
railway. With general orders to re-
main in reserve and take no part in
the strike unless ordered and then
only to protect property, details of po-
lice were sent to the various barns.
The first car started was a mail car,
leaving the barn at Thirty-ninth
street and Cottage Grove avenue. 1t
was not harmed during it's entire trip.
In all EOS policemen were detailed to
the different cars barns. Efforts were
next made to move passenger cars
with non-uniOn crews. Four trains
were started on the Cottage Grove
avenue cable line. At Fortieth street,
an obstruction upon the rails blocked
the trains. A crowd of strikers had
assembled and shouts and jeers
greeted the train crews. A shower of
stones followed and car windows were

MAY QUESTION
Mr.. HITCHCOCK
Certain Congressman Want to Know
Why Gov. Burke Was Forced
to Resign.
He Says He Made Charges Against
secretary's Friends, but to
No Avail.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Nov. 12.-There is no
friction between the president and
Senator Nelson growing out OF the
resignation of Former Governor A. H.
Burke, Of North Dakota, and Duluth,
as land office Inspector. In fact, the
president knows nothing about the
resignation and has not at any time,
been advised regarding the friction
which had grown up between Burke
and the interior department officials.
Burke was originally appointed on the
recommendation of Senator Nelson.
He was asked to resign by Secretary
Hitchcock and did SO yesterday. Sem
ator Nelson is not interested in the
case and has. not and will not have
anything to say about it under the
circumstances.
Burke could not longer consent to
remain in his old position. He says
that some Of his official reports,
which are on file in the department,
have reflected severely upon certain
officers of the department., who are
the especial friends of Secretary
Hitchcock, and yet, that Hitchcock
after reading these reports has reap
The charges were Of the most serious
character, and If what Burke says is
true, 1t would seem that Secretary
Hitchcock ought to be investigated by
congress.
Mr.. Hitchcock, on the other hand
says that Burke's reports have not
been satisfactory, and have not giver
any information to the department.
which has no confidence In his ability
to fill the inspectorship properly
There is no charge of corruption
against Burke, and he quits without
any loss Of reputation.
Certain members Of congress pur.
pose to follow the matter further
They will insist on seeing the Burke
reports and if they are found to con
tain charges of dishonesty against
men afterward reappointed by Mr.
Hitchcock there. will likely be some
fun.
