ON COTTAeE GROVE AVENUE
The Scene Of Activity In the Chi
cago Street Railway Strike
-a Shifted.
CaTS Started On the Cottage Grove
Avenue IAne-Excitement Caused
by Several Pistol Shots. L.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-The Cottage
Grove avenue division of the Chicago
City railway was the scene of much OF
Tuesdays strike activity This line,
which parallels the Wentworth avenue
line mile to the eastward. has been
entirely tied up since the inception of
the strike of carmen, except for the
operating Of mail cars. The line trav-
erses the business district by way Of
Wabash avenue, entering Cottage
Grove avenue at Twenty-second
street.
Ihe Wentworth avenue service was
continued on practically the same
schedule as obtained Monday. r
"A number of pistol shots near the
barns at Thirty-ninth street and
Cottage Grove avenue started the
non-union employees housed within. For
a short time the strike breakers be-
lieved an attack was being made on
their stronghold. The shots proved to
have been fred by men who brought
two wagon loads c. supplies into the
barns and who had been molested by
pickets in an attempt to block the de-
livery. When the two wagons were
within half a block of the barns, pick
cts halted the drivers and demanded
that the teams turn around and drive
back. The drivers Immediately opened
fire when threats were made, and
drove quickly to the barn. After un-
loading the provisions, they returned
to the company's headquarters followed
by bicycle brigade of union pickets. .
~
strikers and the street crowds marked
the resumption of service on Cottagt
Grove avenue. Supt. Weatherwax an
| nounced that five trains would be con.
tinued on this street throughout the
day and that regular service would be
! instituted Wednesday.

of song, came family from the street
below
AS Carolyn knew that the lodger who
occupied the top floor front had gone
out, she stole to one of his windows.
1t was IL o'clock, and the mounted po-
lice, as is their wont, had cleared
f1c vehicles. to make ready for the
carriages that later on throng this
boulevard. Carolyn had risen late.
The demands of the stomach are not
as peremptory when one is quiet, and
she haC faced the fact, the night be-
fore, that she stood possessed of ex-
actly 18 cents.
It was still early for pleasure dr;v-
ing, so that the boulevard, for the mo-
ment, was given over to companies OF
gayly garbed maskers, who were ring
ing door-bells, and, in merry imperti-
nence, accosting passers by. Through
the silvery, silken mist they went
caracoling, a broken tangle of bright
color, as far as Carolyn could see,
and she wondered, as many another
newcomer to New York has done,
as to this odd Thanksgiving day Gus
not the purpose of this narrative to re-
late.
The SAVIOR of the Thanksgiving din
ner, in course of preparation below
stairs, which was exclusive to the keep
er of the house and her family, float
ed upward. AS Carolyn stood looking
out, the appetizing odors beat at the
door of her demanding young stomach
with tantalizing insistence.
The carriages were now beginning
to pass, and, from one of them, she saw
a shower Of coin flung to a group of
singing maskers. With quick resolve.
she turned. went to her room, took the
paints with which she eked out the
little allowance her old uncle was able
to send her, and in few minutes had
finished a dainty masque. She was a
fragile little thing, and when she had
donned q costume which she had worn
at q fancy dress affair one neyer-to-be-
forgotten evening when Dick had told
her of his love. and tied about the
loosened curls Of her dark hair fillet
az xold-colored ribbon, she Looked nc
more than child.
She slipped softly down the stairs
and reached the outer door Of the
ground floor unobserved. A company
of maskers went scurrying down the
street like bright. wind-swept autumn
leaves. Quickly she stepped IN among
them. and, seized with the abandon ol
! the moment, she began to- sing thal
rolljcksnx little bird song. The Robin.

A Dull Statehouse.

There was very little doing
around the statehouse last week, the
various departments being barren of
events Of public interest. Even Di-

any ideas bearing the semblance of
news. A few sheriffs made their
monthly settlements with the treas

STEAMFITTERS OUT.
Repudiated by Federation Of Labor for
Disobedience.

CHICAGO, June 16-After a prosperous
existence of over ten years the National
Association of Steamfitters lost Its stand
ing in the American Federation Of Labor
list night because 1t refused to amalgamate
with the United Association of Plumbers.
The question as to which organization
should live came up before the annual
convention of the American Federation at
New Orleans. which in turn left 1t to ar
bitration.
Early this spring both unions submitted
their case to Frank L. Rist who recon-
mended that there be an amalgamation.
President Gompers ordered the two
unions to amalgamate by June Is. At their
recent convention the steamfitters refused
to do as ordered. asking that they be given
a hearing before the American Federation
of Labor at Its next convention They de-
cided, further to maintain their organiza-
ton and refuse to give 1t up unless abso-
lutely necessary.
The headquarters Of both unions are in
Chicago. Jointly the two organizations
control over 1000 workers throughout the
country.

MISSION OF GOV. HUNT
COMES no SETTLE ALLOTMENT OF
PORTO RICAN LANDS.
Has Been Consulting Members of the
Cabinet as to Needs of Their
Departments.

Gov. Hunt of Porto Rico. who has just
come from that island. has been consult
ing different members of the cabinet rela-
tive to the division of the public lands in
the island. By an act of Congress the
President was directed to set aside such
public property as was necessary for the
government and to turn over the remain
der to the local government. The differ
ent heads of departments have been in
forming Gov. Hunt as to their needs.
There are about 10000 acres of public
lands in Porto Rico which passed, for the
most part, to the United States under the
terms Of the treaty of Paris. Some of
these are valuable for agricultural and tim
Der purposes, while others are close to
cities and towns, and will be available for
the extension Of the growth of the larger
cities.
It has been claimed since the institution
of civil government that Spain recognized
an ownership in the province of Porto Rico
as contradistinguished from the ownership
of the crown of Spain. and that, therefore,
there was separate ownership of certain
tracts of those lands In the island as sepa-
rate from the United States This conten-
ton was never admitted by those represent
ing federal authority exclusively.
The matter was brought before the last
Congress and effort was made to obtain
legislation which would authorize diStri-
button of the lands in the island between
the federal and insular governments with
out resort to the courts and without un-
necessary delay.
Congress took the matter up. and by an
act approved July l. 1902. entitled IAN act
authorizing the President to reserve public
lands and buildings in the Island of Porto
Rico. and for other purposes" the Presi-
dent was authorized. within one year after
July l. 1902. to make such reservations of
lands in the island for military. naval,
lighthouse marine hospital post office, GUS
tom house. United States court and other
public purposes as he might deem neces-
sary and all lands not so reserved were
granted by the terms of the act to the gov
posed of for the use and benefit of the peo-
pie of the island. The needs of the War
and Navy Departments, respectively, have
been put before the President, and distri-
button will soon be had which will forever
settle titles in most satisfactory way.

OFFICIALS IN DARK.
Conflicting Advices Received From Co.
- lorubia.


Additional adyices coming to the State
Department from various sources respect
ing the prospects of ratification of the Pan
anna canal treaty by the Colombian con-
gress continue to be so conflicting as to
plunge the officials here into a stare of
doubt as to the outcome 1t is believed,
however. that the weight OF opinion in
Colombia is adverse to ratification. The
fact is that the sentiment favoring ratifica-
ton is confined principally to the three
provinces of Panama, Cauca and Antioquia
which make up the Isthmus of Panama
proper with the adjacent neck of the MAIN
land. From their geographical location
these provinces are naturally deeply inter-
ested in the construction of the canal, while
the remaining states in the interior of the
country. which do not promise to be so d.
rectly benefited by tls development of 18TH
milan trade. show signs of increasing oppo-
sition.
