MELBOURNE STRIKERS.

Associated Press, Morning Service.
MELBOURNE, Victoria, Australia,
May 1.-THE Victorian Railway strik-
ers' committee has acceeded to the de-
mand of the government that the men
return and operate the trains before
any settlement of their differences be
arranged. Now the strikers have re-
rudiated the committee and probably
viii continue the strike.
1t is very probable the men think
they will be able to win because of the
fact that the Federal Parliament is
now in session at Melbourne, and that
the latter will force the Victorian Off
Gals to arbitrate the strike difficulties.
Business in Melbourne has been at a
standstill for some time, and vessels
there to load or discharge cargoes are
idle owing to the fact goods cannot be
moved to or from the wharves. The
depression isc serious.

Carroll, Stuyvesant Fish and Penn
broke Jones have captured Roman So

sets. Mrs. Carroll owing to her being
a Carroll of CarrolltUh and the wife of
member of the family of Archbishop
Carroll, the first prelate appointed in
the United States, is having numerous
Cardinals at her dinners. Mrs. Fish
has the powerful influence of the Di
Rudini family working in her behalf,
socially. The guests at her dinners are
drawn from the fashionable circles of
Roman society.
Socially Mrs. Jones apparently needs
no influence for fashionable society is
eager to attend her func lions. The
luxurious Jones yacht, anchored in the
bay of Naples, serves as a golden key,
opening every door of aristocratic Ro-
man society, which is naughty but not
rich. The Romans are bewildered by
the examples of American luxury
shown them by the distinguished trio
of American women.

FELL INTO A
FATAL POOL
CHINESE WAS DROWNED AT
OPEA WHILE FGSHING-COULD
NOT SWIM.

Kong Yet, a Chinese, was drowned
at Opea, Hawaii, May 8, while fishing
for oopu. High Sheriff Brown received
notice of the death from Deputy Sher-
lift Swain.
1T appears that the Chinese went in
company with a ten.year-old daughter
to a pool to catch the fish. The pool
was quite deep. The Chinese, in his
eagerness to get the fish, fell into the
deep part of the water and was drown
ed. His daughter stood helpless on the
side of the water, crying for aid.
No one heard her cries. Not until
re had gone some distance to the resi-
dence of some natives did any one go
to the pool. The body was recovered.
The circumstances were such that an
inquest was not deemed necessary.
