4 FIGHT TO THE FINISH.
LATEST CHICAGO STRIK E NOT TO

 Funerals
 Chicago. Dec. 2s.-The struggle be- tween the Liverymen's and Undertak- CTS association and the Livery Drivers union, which for the past six days has seriously interfered with the burial of Chicago's dead, as no hearses or car- riages have been available, for funer- als. is to be fight to the finish, all ef- forts looking to settlement of the strike by conciliation having been abandoned tonight. For the past two days the prospects for a settlement by arbitration seemed bright, but to-day the contending parties drifted farther apart than ever and all peace negotia- tions have been declared off by the em- ployers.
 At meeting tonight of the employ CTS affected by the strike it was de- cided to open for business tomorrow morning on the "open shop principle and employ union or non-union men. Before this decision was reached ar arrangements were made to petition one of the circuit court judges the first thing tomorrow morning for an in- junction restraining the strikers from interfering with the business of the employers. The conservative element at the meeting worked hard to prevent the opening of the stables, but was de- feated. The conservatives proposed to make overtures to the strikers on an arbitration basis. This was not given heed by the more radical element. The union officials predict trouble when the "open shop plan is tried
 In anticipation of opposition by the union the employers tonight called up- |on Chief of Police O'Neil for further police protection against violence and picketing. In reply Chief OsNeil said
 The police have been ordered to ex- tend you the utmost protection in car rying on funerals. If you experience trouble, call up the nearest police sta tion and if that does not help, call me uD.'
 Chief O'Neills plan is to have police- men accompany all funerals in Chi Icago.
 Members of the association said to- night that should the police fail to maintain order the sheriff would be called upon for protection and sholud that measure fail the governor would be appealed to to supply nlilltiamen.

MARINES GAN DO THE WORK
SOLDIERS NOT NEEDED TO PRO-
 TECT PANAMA.

Present Force is sufiiciens-HeaIth of
 ths Men Misunderstanding Of Resu-
 lar Troops Might Cause Feeling of
 Unensinc eral Elliott to Go to \ the Isthmus.
 Washington, Dec. 2S.--Rear Admiral Walker informed the president to-day that in his opinion it would be expedi- ent to leave to the marines the protec- ton of the republic of Panama and that it was unnecessary to increase the force of marines already in Panama or in isthnlian waters. Regarding the health of the marines, Rear Admiral Walker told the president that it could scarcely be better He said that while the marines were welcomed and their presence realized to be for the best in terests of the republic. the sending of regular troops might cause a feeling of uneasiness.
 Despite the peaceful reports made by Rear Admiral Walker, the probability is that two more battalions of marines will sail next week on the Dixie from Philadelphia for Colon. It is felt at the navy department that it will be we'll to have sufficient force in isthmian waters to permit of frequent reliefs for the force ashore. Between now and Monday the question will be definitely decided. The official announcement is made that General Elliott, commandant of the marine corps, will go to the isth- mus as the administration wishes him to make a thorough Inspection of con- ditions there, both from military and a sanitary standpoint. The Dixie will also carry number of rapid fire guns Commanding the two battalions will be Lieutenant Colonel William P. Riddle and Lieutenant Colonel W. T. Walker Among other officers selected to go are Captain Cyrus s. Radford, as chief quarternraster; Captain H. L. Mat thems and Captain Eli K. Cole. Gen. eral Elliott will be accompanied by his two aides, Captain Frank E. Evans and Captain Harry Leonard. 1s=s,
 It is expected that the Dixie will sail from Philadelphia on Monday. A long cablegram was prepared for Rear Admiral Glass to-day under the per- sonal supervision of Secretary Moody. It was largely one of inquiry as to con- ditions on the isthmus and the probable need for more marines. On rear Ad- n1fral Glass reply will depend to some extent the departure of the two addi- tional battalions.

Creston. Aug. 12.-The crop condi-
tons are very hard factor to deter
mine at this time. There have been sew
eral hard wind and rain storms during
the past week that have materially loos-
ened the roots of the corn while on the
other hand there has been some extra
good growing weather. Reports from
different parts of the country are very
conflicting. Some report there will be
no corn at all while others say 1t will
be almost a full crop. The oats are run
ming very uneven and the hay is nearly
all up. Where the crops are on high
ground they seem to be doing all right
but the lowlands are producing almost
nothing. With late fall 1t Is reason
able to say there will be about half a
crop In Union county.

sesame for credit All he would have
TO do was to fash the stone and every
