RIVAL PICKETS ON DUTY
Walters Try to Stop Hotel Supplies, While
Transfers Insure Delivery,
CHICAGO HOTELS WINNING VICTORY
Bartenders and some other Break
Away from Strikers, While other
Help f. Imported from
Outside cities.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The second day in
the strike Of the hotel and restaurant en-
ployes in twenty-six Chicago hotels brought
assertions from the ranks of the unions
and increased determination on the part of
the hotel owners to ignore what they term
the arbitrariness Of the striking employees.
Vigorous efforts of the strike pickets to
prevent the delivery of coal, meats and
grocery supplies created some excitement
around many of the hotels, but every such
effort was baked by business agents of the
various unions involved in the attacks. and
even the milk wagon drivers, who had
declared in favor of the strike, were forced
by officials Of the National Teamsters'
union to obey the general laws of the
organization and refrain from a sympa-
thetic strike.
Rival Pickets ON Duty.
The strike directors sought first to enlist
the sympathy of the National Teamsters
union, and falling put pickets Of their own
on duty and tried to stop the delivery OF
coal and other supplies. AS soon as these
tactics were made known to the Transfers
union 100 rival pickets were scattered
through the downtown districts to combat
the efforts of the strikers and to assure
the delivery of hotel supplies. Before the
end of the day the cooks and walters
abandoned hope Of support from other
unions.
A canvass OF the hotels where. strikes
have taken place shows that most OF, them
are in fair working condition. Against a
total of 2,517 employees who have gone out
the hotels IN the aggregate have a working
torce3 Qf! 1,75&f The Hyde. Park hotels are
in the worst condition, blu all the down
town places are. fairly well equipped n
are confident that. by Monday they will
have a full working force.
Three hundred men arrived in Chicago
during the day from outside cities, sent
here by agents of the hotel men. These
men were taken from the trains to various
hotels In busses, in order to lull the sus-
picions of the pickets. Every hotel owner
has arranged with hotels in other cities for
all the help that can be spared. These men
will come here with the UNDERSTANDING
from local proprietors that they may re-
main II they wish and assured by old en-
ployers that their old positions will be
given them when they. return. Bartenders
who went out yesterday in many instances
returned to work today and tore up their
union cards.
Walters who struck on Friday at the
Union restaurant returned in groups Of
four and five today ar were disappointed
when they found the doors closed and no
one there to advise them whether they
might return to work.
The hotel owners are remaining solid and
declare their policy from now on will be to
get all the help that is possible from sur
rounding cities and to ignore the strikers
altogether as long as they continue to
insist on their demands for exclusive con-
tracts and refuse to submit differences to
arbitration or to incorporate arbitration
provisions in their proposed contracts.

GENERAL REYES'S SCHEME.
He Virtually Would Annex Colombia
to Panama-Beaupre still Safe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Rear Admiral
Coghlan, commander of the Caribbean
squadron, cables the Navy Department,
from Colon. under date of Nov. q, that Gen.
Reyes, the special commissioner Of the b.
gotta government, tenders his sincere thanks
to President Roosevelt and Secretary of the
Navy Moody for his gracious treatment at
Colon by naval force. Admiral Coghlan
confirms the press dispatches that General
Reyes has departed for Washington via
Port Limon, Costa Rica, for conference
with DR.. Amador, a member of the Panama
commission, and others in the United States.
Before ais departure he informed Admiral
Coghlan that the Panama government had
cabled DIR. Amador to await his (Reyes) ar
rival. Admiral Coghlan further states that
General Reyes expects to make amicable
relations with the special commissioners
from Panama now in WASHINGTON
The Navy Department also has received
a cabegram from Rear Admiral Glass,
commander in chief of the Pacific squadron,
from Panama, under date of the 2lst, stat
ing that the conference of General Reyes
and the authorities of Panama was without
result. and that General Reyes had sailed
for the United States.
1t is believed here that, aside from
proposition for Panama to assume part of
the Colombian foreign debt General Reyess
main purpose is TO advance the suggestion
that the capital of Colombia be transferred
to the city of Panama. The opinion in Off
cial circles here is that, though fiattering,
the proposition will be rejected by the Pana-
ma commissioners If for no other reason
than because, through sheer weight OF num-
bers, the C0lombians soon would control the
administration of the reunited republic and
the situation to Panama would be as it
was before the revolution and separation.
Mr.. Beaupre's status remains unchanged
far the officials here know and not
withstanding the menacing tone Of the notes
addressed to him by the Colombian minister
for foreign affairs as set out in the press
dispatches from Bogota, the State Depart
ment does not consider that there has been
a breach in the relations between the United
States and Colombia. The fact that the CO.
lombian legation here is still open for bust
ness, under instructions from Bogota is
confirmatory evidence of the fact that there
has been no rupture of relations. Mr.. Beau
pre- has informed the minister for foreign
affairs that the United States has recog-
nized Panama and has extended the good
offices of our government to patch up peace.
The Colombian answer to this last PROPOSE
ton has not yet been received.

De Observed by Panama.

De Observed by Panama.
PARIS, Nov 23-Foreign Minister Del
casse addressed the Chamber of Deputies
eign affairs. He opened with a statement
with reference to the Panama question, and
said: 81 am asked for Information concern
ing the action of France. Here is what has
been done: Having received notification
that Panama had constituted herself an in
dependent republic, FASTENED to con-
slider, once she had fulfilled the necessary
what guarantees she offered. From the
French point of view have not been
without apprehension for some time. 1t
has been said in Bogota for several months
that the decision of the Colombian govern
ment prolonging the canal concession was
open to dispute, and that in 1904 the conces-
sion might be declared to have lapsed. Il
this theory had never been put forward off,
cially We would not have accepted it. II
was our strict duty to demand from the
Republic of Panama assurances that all
French interests, including the canal con-
ceSSion, be respected. This assurance has
been given us in decisive form, the follow
ing being the textual form of the promise:
THE Republic of Panama solemnly, ex-
plicitly and definitely pledges itself to vigil
tain and interpret in their widest sense the
contracts made Nov. 3, which, referring 20
the isthmus. follow the transmission of SOW
ereignty and bind the Republic of Panama.
All these contracts are maintained, notably
the contract prolonging the concession until
1910.' "
NJ Delcasse continued: Under these con-
ditions we had only to follow the example
set by the United States and permit our
agents to enter into relations with all the
ton of the foreign minister was received
