tire cotton belt region of West Missis-
sippi and Arkansas was enveloped in

Der are burning and the fires have spread

taw railroad, the woods are on fire on
both sides of the railway line, while the
timbered section north Of Little Rock

Grafton of cable trains in State street
Monday since the City railway strike
began serious riot took place at State
and Forty-first streets shortly after ten
o'clock. Forty shots or more were fired
by the police. One man, who was not
captured, is believed to have been hit
by the police. The State street cars en-
countered obstacles all along the line.
Peace negotiations continued with
indefinite developments and general
doubt as to the result. At noon Clarence
S. Darrow, counsel for the striking
trainmen, met for few minutes Col.
E. R. Bliss, counsel for the City Rail-
way company. Col. Bliss was in confer
ence with the directors at the general
offices of the company during the fore
noon. 1t was believed that the COM:
pany had refused to accept the PROPOSE
ton of the strikers, but no direct con-
firmation of this cothd be secured. Fur
Their counter-propositions by the COM
pany were reported in it's answer to the
men. ! .
About $4,000 union labor leaders
and sympathizers crowded Tattersalls
and held overflow meetings in adj
3acent streets on Sunday. The
cause of the strikers was upheldt
and municipal ownership of street rail-
roads was put forward as a prevention
of labor difficulties. Five thousand
union labor representatives formed at
the headquarters of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor and with waving banners
marched through the streets to latter
sails, where the mass meeting was held.
Rioting and violence resulted Sunday
from the company's attempt to run cars.

attacked the crew and passengers of
Halsted street car Strike sympathizera
mobbed the home of Andrew Stader,
Chicago City railway gripman, who de-
Tended himself with a shotgun, wound
ing several of the attacking body.
The ''open shop" was conceded by th4
strikers in an ultimatum to the City
railway. Traction directors agree not
to discriminate against unionists, but
are unwilling to make the Chicago scale
the basis for arbitration of the wage
issue. Transfers refuse to rescind the
boycott order against the Chicago City
railway and men delivering provisions

aside from proposition for Panama tc

advance the suggestion that the cap

City of Panama. This is equivalent tc
the annexation of Colombia by Pan,

No News at WashfngtOn.

Washington, Nov. rs. 49, Dispatches
from Toxic received at the Japanese le-
cation here as late as Tuesday make
no mention of Japanese warships being
dispatched to prevent Russian war ves
sells reaching Port Arthur. On the con-
trary, the advices are to the effect that
there is favorable outlook regarding
settlement of the questions at issue be-
tween Japan and Russia.
Nothing is known here regarding the
reported occupation of Wiju by Japan
surprised to have the report confirmed
in view of the fact that this is the port
which United States Minister Miller
has just gone to Chemulpo to en-
deavOr to have opened to the worlds
trade. If the report is true, officials say,
there can be but one conclusion drawn
from the fact, namely, that the move is
a war measure on Japan's part, and is
made in full recognition Of the
fact that it is no longer possible to
avoid hostile clash with Russia.
War May Have Begun.
London, Nov. 25.-A series of dis
quieting rumors in reference to the far
east are published from various
sources this morning These reports
seem to gather certain significance
from the absence of any reliable au-
thOritative statement concerning the
actual situation.
In addition to the St. Petersburg ru-
NOR that Japanese warships have been
sent to intercept the two Russian bat
tleships bound for Port Arthur there is
one report from Moscow which says
the belief is growing there that hostili-
ties between Russia and Japan in some
form or another have actually begun.
Far East Ii Silent.
Little information from the far east
can be obtained from Russian sources.
The Toxic correspondent of the Daily
satisfactory light, and says it is re-
ported that Baron de Rosen, the Rus
sian minister, received on Sunday a
long and urgent telegram from St. Pc
tersburg. whereupon he sent for Baron
Komura, the Japanese minister of for
eign affairs.
Points to Conf rm ton.
1t is possible that the report of the
sailing of the Japanese fleet is connect
ed with the statement of the Japanese
journal, the Nagasaki Shimpo, to the
effect that a Japanese squadron of II
vessels had left Jasebo for an unknown
destination.
The Russian newspaper Svet few
days ago expressed the belief that
communication between Port Arthur
and Japan had been already inter-
rupted

Yokohama, Nov 25.-No reply has
been received from st. Petersburg on
the subject of the Japanese overtures

Senate.
Immediately after the converting OF
the senate Tuesday President Pro Tem
Frye presented an invitation from the
governor of Louisiana inviting the SEN
ate to attend the ceremonies incident
20 the celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the transfer of Louisiana
territory to the United States. He also
required to question raised Monday as
to whether concurrent resolutions of
congress require the approval of the
president in order to render them op-
erative. He said that it had never been
the practice to send such resolutions to
the president, but he read the provision
of the constitution bearing on the sub
ject. which makes 10 distinction be-
tween concurrent resolutions and joint
resolutions, and remarked that he did
not know how, congress had been able
to escape from the constitutional re-
quirement.
Without disposing of the subject, the
senate passed to routine business, after
which Senator. Carmack's resolution
for the investigation of the conduct OF
the post Office department was laid be-
fore the senate, and, upon motion of Sen
ator Penrose, was referred to the com
mittee on post Offices and post roads.
