THINKS CANADA WILL COME IN.
Senator Hale Predicts the Annexation
of Our Northern Neiuhbor.

Washington, Nov. 24.-During a
speech In the senate yesterday, in
which he was urging liberal treatment
of Cuba, Senator Hale of Maine pre-
dicted that men who were listening to
him would live to see Canada part of
the United States, as q result of the
ambitions of Joseph Chamberlain. His
language on this point was as follows:
Il have little doubt that men now
listening to me will see the time when
Canada will become an integral part
of the United States. If his plan is
carried out by the most adventurous
of British politicians. of colonial prefer
ence, tariff Will be inaugurated be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States. and this English politician will
seek to set Canada up as great rival
to u.s. an agricultural rival. Out OF
this will arise conditions. discussions
and considerations that will end in the
union of the two peoples. But we do
not invite Great Britain to send Can
ada to us and join the union. She Is
too large a power"

STRIKERS WRECK
THE GAR lines
More Damage Than on Any
Previous Day Since Strike
Was Begun
OFFICERS ORDERED TO SHOOT
Inspector Hunt Issued instructions to
Shoot to Hit in Case of Concerted
Attack on cars-confictins Reports
a. to the Peace Negotiations To-
day.

Chicago, Ncv. 24.-Conficting reports
on the probability of immediate peace
in the street car strike came from rep-
resentatives of the Chicago City Rail-
way Company, and the striking train
men today. 1t was learned definitely
that the company had offered to arbi-i
trate the contention which it considers
ed remained the sole issue between the
present situation and settlement. This
point, it Is said, is the taking back of
men employed by the company who
went out on sympathetic strikes. The
company asserted that these men vio.
lated agreements while the strikers say
the agreements were not properly
made.
During the past twelve hours the
strike sympathizers did more damage
to car lines than on any previous time
since the strike begun. Wires were cut
on many cross town lines and all man
ner of distractions put onSthe tracks
in huge piles, manholes filed with.
stones and debris so the grip could not
pass over. There is said to be short
age OF coal at the Twenty and
State street power house.
Another attempt was made today to
run the State street cars. Six trains
started, but their progress was slow.
In spite of the police patrol, spikes
were found driven in the cable slot. at
intervals, and the distractions cleared;
away early in the day were replaced by
the strikers in numerous instances.
When the first State street trains
reached Forty-third street crowd OF
1000 men was following them. The
trains kept as close together as possi-
BILE and were under heavier police
guard than yesterday. Police Inspector
Hunt issued orders to the police to
shoot to hit, in event concerted att
tack should be made upon the cars.
The starting OF the cable cars was
further delayed by damage to the big
underground turn wheel. on which the
cables reyolve. Steel rails had been
slipped between the four foot spokes.
and when the power was applied u
twisted the wheel out OF shape, ana
came near putting the line out OF SER
vice for the day. The rails could only
be extricated by saving them into
sections. Three wires supplying the
electric power to the Thirty y-ninth
street trolley cars were cut near Cot-i
tage Grove avenue. One OF these wires
supplied in addition the light for the
car barns at Thirty-eighth street and
Cottage Grove avenue, and the sudden
failure Of the light alarmed the non
unionists in the barns, who. believing
that an attack by the strikers ana
sympathizers was imminent, armed
themselves and prepared to resist
Splicers repaired the damage.

Iowa Man Proposes to Revo'utionize
River Traffic.

DUBUQUE. Nov. 24.-Boats will be
running with the same speed as pas
senper trains on the Mississippi and
other rivers and the seas IL the in
vention of William B. Motheral OF
North McGregor proves to be all he
claims for 1t. Mr.. Motheral was in
the city several days during the week
with a small boat which he construct
ed along the lines of his invention.
When the patent is perfected he de-
clares that boats can be made to run
forty or fifty miles an hour.
The secret of Mr.. Motherals inven-
ton Is half cone shaped hull. The
hull tapers to a point from the stern
to the bow. When the boat is started
lit raises on the water and decreases
the displacement. The faster the boa;
goes the less the displacement is.
In speaking Of his invention Mr.
Motheral said:
II have been working on this for
years and l believe l have 1t about

from the government and the next
thing TO do will be to construct the
proper kind of boat and install 4

built that can be sent over the water
