New York, April 1.-About 10000
carpenters, plumbers, masons and
other mechanics employed in the build
ing trades between the New York
City line and Hartford, Conn.,, are to
go on a strike for 20 per cent ad-
vance in wages. The contractors and
builders have an organization of 500
to resist the demand. They have in
cluded in their organization all the
lumber yards and dealers in building
supplies, who are under a bond each
not to sell building material to any
contractor who comedies to the de-
mands CT union men. The members
OF the labor unions have declined a
10 per cent advance offered them in
several places. They declare that they
will stand together throughout the en-
tire territory, which includes the
whole of Westchester county and the
western part of Connecticut.

Great Damage in Several Sections of
California.
Stockton. CAL, April 1.-Unusually
heavy rains of the past three DAYS
have caused the rivers to overflow and
in some places the lowlands have been

shortly the flood will be of serious

nell Now Alive.
Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-The verdict
in the Burdick inquest handed down
by Judge Murphy, while stating that
the identity of the murderer of Edwin
l.. Burdick has not been proven. prac-
tically charges Arthur R. Pencil, the
dead lawyer, with the crime.
Pencil had stronger motive than
anyone else for putting Burdick out
of the way, Judge Murphy says, and
all the facts brought out by the inquest
constitute just grounds for the is
suance OF warrant against Pencil if
he were alive. The verdict is soften
ed somewhat so far as it relates to
Pencil by the statement that if Pen
nell were alive he would be given the
presumption OF innocence until proven
guilty.
In the opinion of Judge Murphy.
Burdick had no woman guest in his
den on the night of the murder and
the crime was not the work OF a
burglar. He exonerates Mrs. Gertrude
;. Paine and Miss Hutchinson from
any connection with the crime and in
conclusion crltlclses Mrs. Maria A,
Hull and censures Mrs. Burdick, the
former for her attitude toward the au-
thOrltles and the inconsistency of her
actions with the theory that she had
no knowledge of the murder.
Judge Murphy stated that he will
hold the Inquest into the death of Ar
thur R. Pencil the latter part of this
week or the first of next week.
THE Burdick inquest has taught US
one thing, said Judge Murphy, land
that is to hold such investigations
promptly. The police court inquest
IS the most natural machinery under
the law for investigating such matters.
Under it persons under suspicion can
be brought before a magistrate and
compelled to tell what they know while
there is no chance for sensational per-
sons to shout out against third de-

CHAFFEE'S CHINESE VIEWS
Says No Intelligent Chinaman De-
sires to Embrace Christianity.

Says No Intelligent Chinaman De-
sires to Embrace Christianity.
Major General A. r. Chaffee told the
| members of the Methodist Social un-
ion, at the regular monthly meeting
held in the grand ballroom OF the Ho-
tel Savoy, that he had never met an
intelligent Chinese who expressed any
desire to embrace the Christian relig-
ion.
This announcement fell with telling
force upon the 200 men and women
| members Of the church organization
who were at the meeting. There was
restless movement and an exchange
OF chances among those present.
General Chaffee spoke of the relig-
ious field in China, praising the work
Of the missionaries in the Orient
"They are all in earnest and hope
full" he declared, 'but the results OF
their work are not proportionate to the
great labor of love. They have done
all that is possible, but the burden is
too great for them.
Il took occasion to meet MANY OF
the most prominent Cinnamon while
in Pekin, and ] talked to many of the
better class. These included officials.
| must say that | did not meet a single
intelligent Chinaman who expressed a
desire to embrace the Christian relig-
ion. The masses are against Chris
tianity."
General Chaffee commented upon the
fact that missionaries did not for the
most part speak the language Of the
natives, and declared the missionary
work could not be perfectly effective
unless the missionaries spoke the Ian
guage Of the people they sought to en-
tighten.
The general declared that he believed
there was better field for naissionar-
les in the Philippines, but said that in
view OF the fact that few missionaries
spoke panlsh, to say nothing Of the cor
rupt patrols Of the provinces. the task
would be hard one.-New York Her

Some of the "chiffonniers' in uues-

tunes. M. Paulmeier, who is known as
the "roi des chiffonniers," has worked
for nearly GO years and is still hale and
hearty. He has been the father of a
score of children, seven of whom are
living and following the parental voca-
ton. His integrity is proved by the
fact that he once picked up $4,000
francs in bank notes and immediately
handed them over to the police. He
declares that ragpickers are healthier
than any other workmen, and ridicules
the prevailing microbomania. He con-
siders that the introduction of the
motor system will not only increase
pauperism, but that it is a cruel and
undeserved affront from the city of

the services of humble citizens who

GARDEN OF THE YUKON
The Moving Of Moss Uncovers the
Most Fertile Soil in World.

Remove the moss from the ground
in the Yukon district and you have the
most fertile soil in the world" said
Fred T. CongdOn, the new Yukon COM
missioner.
"The moss is all that stands in the
way Of it's being the garden spot Of the
world. 1t will be removed in time and
then that cold and bleak country will
prove valuable

Gently received his appointment. He
believes in the future Of the new coun-
try, that the void which has been taken
from the earth is the least of it's riches.
Cali grains thrive there" he contin-
ued. THAT is, they thrive where the
moss has been removed. At present the
top of the frost line is just beneath the
surface. The frost goes down about
200 or 300 feet. OF course il is impossi-
BILE to raise anything where you strike
ice few inches beneath the surface.
When the moss is removed and the sun
has chance the frost line recedes. In
some places it has already gone down
several feet. This is proved by the con-,
dition of most of the houses. The
builders did not go down deep for a;
foundation. They struck almost solid
ice and thought that it would support
the houses. Instead what they thought
foundations have sunk and their homesa
are tumbling down." Then Mr.. Cong
don turned his attention to the
minerals.
The day of the picturesque placer
miner has gone," he said. occasional
ly a miner of that kind will unearth a
fortune somewhere and then there will
be rush for that district. But the for
tunes that the single miners now get
are few. There is a great chance, how
ever, for organizations with large CAPT.
tai. They can afford to develop the
mines that do not yield great amount
of gold to the ton. Then they do not
have to depend upon the gold alone.
Copper and other minerals are to be
found in abundance"
"Eut want to impress upon the peo-
pie that the future of the Yukon does
not depend upon minerals of any kind.
1t Will come to be known as the great
est agricultural country in the world"
Speaking of politics, the commissioner
saids ''In the Yukon the people have
representation in the Canadian parlia-
meme and that will eventually lead to
dissatisfaction among your people in
Alaska. They will want representation
