anty to New Granada the isthmus, or
at least as much Of 1t as was required

Bidlack in transmitting a draft of

the following to say regarding the
transit across the isthmus. With re-
gard to the right oi transit and free
passage over the isthmus, which ap-
peared 30 me to be becoming of more
and more Importance every day, have
only to remark that / have procured
the largest liberty and the very best
terms thct could be obtained
II could not obtain these terms with
out consenting to guaranty the integ-
rity and neutrality Of the territory,
and in fact it seemed to me. upon re-
nection, that In order to preserve the
rights and privileges thus ceded 1t
would be both the policy, the interest,
and the duty Of the United States thus
to enter into an obligation to protect
them. The guaranty extends only to
the isthmus, and anything like gen

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDS
City Railway Company Running
Its Lines Once More With
Out Mob Opposition.
WAS A FAILURE FOR THE MEN
They Got Nothing They Originally
Demanded, but Are Conceded
One Later Point.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The strike Of the
employees of the Chicago City railway
was settled at an early hour this morn
ing at conference between the may
or. the aldermanic peace committee.
President Hamilton and E. r. Bliss,
counsel for the company, and the ex-
ecutive board of the local union of the
strikers. The basis ON which the set
tlement was reached is a complete vic
tory for the company as far as the orig
inal demands of the men are concerned.
The agreement will be ratified at
meeting Of the men, and it is expected
that traffic on all the lines of the COM
pany will be resumed today.
One Point the Company Comedies.
The only important concession made
by the company was an agreement to
reinstate all the strikers, including the
outside unions who went out in sympa-
thy with the trainmen, with the excep-
tion of those who resorted to violence
during the trouble. The arbitration of
the wage scale is to be according to the
wages pai, outside of Chicago. and not
on the basisof the local street railways
The company has insisted chat it pays
higher wages than any similar corpor-
alton in the country, and the men were
fearful thatthe arbitration on the scale
paid mother cities would decrease their
wages.
What the Strike Was For.
The original demands of the union
were as follows: First-An increase
of wages amounting to cents an
hour for ali men employed on the cleo
trio lines; both sides were at all times
willing TO arbitrate this, the basis Of
arbitration being the sole point at is
sue. Second-The employment of none
but union men. Third-That the off,
Gals OF the local union be given the
right to say what men shall be dis
charged and the union to have q veto
on discharges. Fourth-The right by
the union TO regulate the routing OF
cars. On all these four points the COM
pany wins.
As to Reinstating the Men.
The dffh demand was made by the
union after sympathetic strikes had
been started by fremen, engineers.
electrical workers and teamsters with
In two days after signing contracts.
and was that all men should be taken
back and given their former positions
The agreement Is that all men not
guilty Of violence toward the company
during the strike are to be taken back.
Others will remain out This is the
only advantage obtained by the strik.
ern.
Company Slowly Gaining.
Ever since the Inauguration of the
strike. thirteen days ago. the company
has been gradually gaining the upper
hand of the men. until traffic had been
opened on five lines and the rioters
had become much less aggressive. The
strike has not been chargeable with q
single homicide, which Is one thing to
be thankful for.
