The strike I'm Chicago.

Chicago, Ills, Dec. 2i.-Re-
spect for the city's dead combined
with the additional impulse of discretion
has prompted undertakes and livery
employees to observe truce in the strike
of hearse and carriage drivers. Many of
the suburban undertakers we're allowed
to conduct funerals with hearses this
morning, without interference by union
pickets. Most of the funerals were of
modest proportions. In the small num-
Der of carriages ordered and an absence
of the customary expensive provisions
for the obsequies despite assurances of
the undertakers that all the carriages
required might be had, the under
takers think they foresee a shrink
age in their future business. They
say the labor unions are responsible for
educating the public into the belief that
elaborate funerals are not necessary. In
such cases, the loss will fall upon both
undertakes and strikers and the saving
be to the benefit of relatives of the dead.
Meetings will be held this afternoon to
provide for arbitration.

Berlin, Dec. 22.-Prince Loewenberg,

association, has secured the support of
Car Nicholas OF Russia to his campaign.
The Gar expressed the warmestsympathy
with movement to abolish "the bloody
and barbarous custom, which l regret to
say prevails among the officers of my
own army" This declaration by the
Russian ruler is likely to offend the
Austrian and German emperors, both of
whom are adherents of dueling. The
attitude Of their ruler has already aroused
the greatest indignation among the Rus
sian army officers.

TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. %, 1898.

REpREsENArIyE RIxEY of this Con
eressioual district. as stated in yesterday $
Gazette has written letter in answer
to the Confederate Camps which have
criticised his bill for the admission of Con-
federate veterans into union soldiers
home and says
While the matter seems to be pre-
Judged, | am willing to meet, before
your camp, any representative OF the
camp in Joint discussion of the merits
and dement's of the proposed bill. Being
fully satisfied of the wisdom and justice
of the proposed measure, l am willing
to state my reasons therefore.
DIR. Rixey is perfectly honest in his
opinion, but he is wrong. BE is not old
enough to have been in the war and being
of most friendly and kindly disposition
does not appreciate the aversion which
those who fought and lost have to being
The benifciaries of their conquerors.
the old soldiers of the two opposing
armies will not mix and the old Con-
federates no more want to 60 to the
homes of the union soldiers than do
the latter want them, so Mr.. Rixey should
withdraw his bill at once. Probably he
will do so when be reads the following !;
Gen. Martin IT. Mcmahon, as presi-
dent of the board of managers OF the
national homes for disabled soldiers, has
filed with the War Department protest
against the bill proposing to admit Con-
federate veterans to the homes Gen.
McMahon says that the bill should be
defeated, if for no other reason than on
the ground that its provisions contem-
plate a reward of one of the greatest
crimes that can be perpetrated against
government. Aside from that he thinks
the Confederate veterans would be too
proud to accept this bounty, and if they
were to enter the homes the battles OF
the civil wa would be fought over again
with such vigor that the police would
have to interfere.
