REFUSE TO RATIFY TERMS.
Employees of Montreal Street Railway
Reject CompanYs Overtures.

hGJSSb SSHlPdfJ . SNCEhuIGS
Montreal, Feb. 1.-THE employees of
the Montreal street railway at a meet
ing today refused to ratify the terms
agreed upon by their committee, and
President Forget, of the Railway com
pany, for settlement of the strike
which began Thursday night.
President Forget announced last
night that the company was ready to
grant the men an advance of 10 per
cent, recognize the union and rein
state men recently discharged unless
their dismissal had been for just cause.
The committee seemed satisfied, and
1t was generally believed that the end
of the strike was in sight A meet
ing of the employees was called at /: 80
a. m. to ratify the terms of settle
ment.
1t soon became apparent that ma
Jority of the men would be satisfied
with nothing short of complete ca.
pitulation on the part Of the railway
company. Speeches were made urg-
ing the men to refuse the terms un.
less they included certain articles of
the mems demands.
Conservative leaders urged the
strikers to accept the concessions,
but they were cried down and when
a vote was taken the proposed basis
Of settlement was defeated. The
company has asked the city for police
protection and the Duke of Connaught
Hussars and the Rifles have been un.
officially Informed to be IN readiness
to respond at moments notice.

LONDON OFFICIAL
CIRCLES CONFIDENT 7
Venezuelan Settlement Seems

ANXIOUS TO RAISE BLOCKADE
Preparation of the Venezuelan Proto.
ooIs Confirming Hopeful View of
Affairs as Expressed In London
Creates Great Satisfaction.

London, Feb THE announce
ment from Washington that Venezue.
las protocols are in course of prepa,
ration confirming the hopeful views
of the situation expressed here, has
created great satisfaction. During
the latter part of the week official cir
cles here evinced quiet confidence that
IN spite of alarming reports settle
ment was in sight.
There have been private expressions
OF intense irritation at Minister Bow
ems alleged breach of etiquette, but
these have never been allowed to in
terfere with the determination voiced
by both the British and German diplo-
mats to secure a termination of the
difficulty through any feasible chan
mel. Ambassador HerbertiS structures
found sympathetic support in Down
ing street and apparently formed the
subject of exchanges of messages be-
tween Berlin and Rome whence the
representatives of those powers at
Washington were instructed to present
a united front and prevent the recur-
renee of the publication of news of
the nature of which he had complain
ed.
The refusal of President Roosevelt
to arbitrate the question as to Wether
the powers shall receive preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela is regretted,
but cabled yesterday, it was antici-
pated.
The strong dfsinclination of the
British foreign office to have recourse
to The Hague court of arbitration was
founded chiefly on the fear that be-
tween now and the rendering of the
courts decision, new complications
may arise and the decision to refer
the matter to The Hague was only
arrived at as a last resort when the
negotiations threatened to drag on in
definitely The officials here are con
fdent that The Hague court will give
the allies at least some measure of
different treatment in the settlement
of the claims from that accorded to
the oher nations who did not take ag-
gressive steps to secure their alleged
rights.
Beyond some comparatively slight
deliberations over the wording of the
protocols no further trouble Is expect
ed here, where the raising of the
blockade will be regarded with almost
as much relief as 1t will be In Vene-

Atlanta, Feb. IA story of hidden
shame and crime, the full details OF
which will never be known, develop
ed yesterday on Tenth street, near
the Exposition park, when the body
Of a new born white babe was found
In a small stream by a crowd Of play
ing youths.
Jack Donaldson, white youth. and
Ed Smith, negro boy, were naying
together near little stream that

going to the spot held an inquest over
the body A verdict Of death from

person was returned by the jury.
It is not known how long the child
had been dead, but it was evident
from the firm condition of the flesh
that 1t had not been dead very long
time.

stria May Result, and Another Sc.
ries of Massacres May Follow.
Paris, Feb. 7.-Of1cial advices have
been received here confirming the re-
port that the sultan of Turkey has or
dered the immediate mobilization of
100000 troops for a military demon
stration in Macedonia
The step taken Is regarded with ap-
prehension by the French officials as
being likely to involve complications
between Trxkey and Russia and Au-
stria. 1t is said that the Russian
and Austrian governments have
agreed on a firm note to the sultan,
which will be presented in the next few
days, insisting on administrative and
official reforms in Macedonia. AL
though France will not be a party to
the note, she will approve of it.
1t is considered that the sultan's
mobilization of such an army is clear
ly an effort to forestall the representa-
ton of this note. The mobilization
of so many troops is regarded here
as unwise and dangerous, and especial
ly as it is said that the soldiers who
are to be brought into Macedonia from
Asiatic Turkey are semi-barbarous,
and are hostile to Christians and will
inaugurate another series of massa-
cres. 1t is understood the powers
are exchanging views as to the course
to be pursued toward the mobilization
of Turkish troops

FINLAND'S DISTRESS
is BEING RELIEVED
Distribution of Funds Care

AMERICA CONTRIBUTES $4,000.
General Surprise and Gratitude Is Ex-
pressed at the Large Contributions
Being Received by the Committees.
Car and czarina's Liberal Re-

e SPOnSeSs
4 st. Peresburg, Feb. THE CORE
tspondent of The Associated Press re-
turned yesterday from Helsingfer. He
found the measures for the relief of
the distress in Finland apparently
we4- organized. The distribution of
funds is carefully supervised. The
Finnish National Relife committee
has received up to the present $4,000
from American relief organizations.
The general surprise and gratitude
is expressed at the large contributions
which the committee has received
Other foreign countries have contrib
uted $4,000, and in Russia $4,000 has
been collected, including $4,000 from
the Russian Red Cross society. of
which the dOwager czarina is the pro-
tectoress; $4,000 from the czar and
1000 from the czareWitch.
The Fins were agreeably astonished
at the fact that the imperial gifts and
the Russian contribution through the
officials at st. Petersburg organized
by Interior Minister Won P1shwe, with
Admiral Craemer as chairman, were
sent to the Finnish committee in
stead of Governor General Bobricl1off.
The governor, however, is receiving
the funds collected by the Novoe Vry-
emya. All this is regarded as signi-
fcent since General Robrickoff in his
official organ declared that justice de-
manded that in the distribution of
the governmental funds dcided pref
erence must be given to the communes
whose inhabitants obeyed the military
service decree. The FinIanders re-
gard this as tantamount to an admis-
sion that the money passing through
General Bobrickoff's hands is used
against the Finnish committee includ-
ing $4,000, which remained from the
previous famine funds, amounting to
$181, 600.
Owing to the decentralization caused
by the money distribution at the time
of the last famine, the committee now
restricts help, excepting in extreme
cases, to the distribution of foodstuffs.
seed and materials for cottage indus
tries, as loans or in return for work.
In some cases, on the advice Of the
agricultural experts who have been
throughout the country, small sums
of money for farming improvements
are granted on the condition that II
the improvements are actually made,
the committee will cancel so per cent
of the debt; if it repaid by 1908.

hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences I employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-

account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnse NJ Chill

medicine trial | procured It, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty and from that time
on | used nothing else but Johnsons Tonic and
never had another case of fever.
