New York. Dec. 17.-Justice jerks
of the appellate division of the New
York State Supreme Court, handed
down decision yesterday that an in
junction against ordering strike can
not stand.
He modified an Injunction to prevent

tice Dickey of the Supreme Court in
a suit brought by William F. Mills.
William Kissam and other employees
against the United States Printing
Company of Ohio. the International
Stereotpyers and Electrotypers' Union
and the New York Stereotypers' Union,
in which the plaintiffs asked the court
TO prevent the union men from strik-
ing to force the printing company to
discharge non-union men.
The court held that it could not
enioin the strike and. that 'picketing,"
which consisted only of stationing men
for observation without molestation
would be lawful.

San Francisco. Dec. 17.-Captain
Peyton C. March Of the general staff
Of the United States army, one of the
officers selected by the department to
accompany the Japanese army in the
field for the purpose Of taking mill
tary observations. returned yesterday
and brings absolute refutation of the
report that General Kuroh Was killed
by Russian shell.
'In several Of the reports 1 have
seen." said Captain March. General
Kuroki is said to have been killed Oc-
tober 5th. All reports agree as to the
date, SO / suppose they are all chill
dren of the same original and, l am
glad to say, mistaken rumor.
II was with General Kuroki on that
day and every day, until left the
front, November 30th, when started
for home Although exposed on nu-
merous occasions, he sustained no
hurt and is one of the healthiest men

Educating Negro Preachers.

Clergymen and elders interested in
the work OF educating the Southern
negro preacher recently gave q dinner
in New York city to the Rev. s. G..
Miller. superintendent of the John c.
Martin fund work. This fund, which
approximates $4,000 900, is to be used
for educating negro clergymen sf all
denominations. 1t is the ultimate in
tention to bring the work to focus
in a chautauqua for Southern negroes.
The Rev. Mr.. Miller has been or
ganizing Bible Institutes for year He
has completed the work in Arkansas
and made a beginning in Georgia,
South Carolina and Tennessee.
I'VE have 1000 students now" he
said, land hope to have 10000 before
we are through. The clergymen are
eager to learn, and they will pass the
knowledge straight on to their congre-
cations. The people OF the South are
with us: they approve of this method
of uplifting the negro.
I'VE have had some difficulty with
interdenominational prejudice. but we
are getting around that. 1t is the
greatest work for the negro under
taken since emancipation"

Port Arthur Holding Out.

Che Foo, Dec. 1S.-Commander Miz-
zenehoff, who was executive officer of the
Russian battleship Poltava until that
vessel was disarmed, and who Decem-
ber 18th headed the party of seven
Russians who left Port Arthur in a
sailboat and arrived here with dis
patches, said tonight that Port Arthur
is a desolate, and, excepting the firing
of the guns, a silent place.
"The Russians" said he, "are hus-
banding their artillery ammunition, fir
ing only when the effect will be GER
tain. There are 10000 men in the line
of forts, and their periods of rest are
few. All the generals except General
Stoessel live in the forts.
Every building in the whole town is
more or less injured.
General Stoessel has put the entire
population on regular rations sufficient
to last three months.
"The ammunition is sufficient to last
much longer.
'I believe the japanese will never
take the fortress under present condi-
tions."

REPORTED SALE
OF CRIPPLE CREEK SHORT LINE
Said to Have Been Bought by Colo
RADIO 4 Southern-President How
bert Said to Be In New York Clos
inu the Deal,

Denver, Dec. 1.-THE Republican
this morning says: The Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek District rail-
road, 1t is reported, has been sold to
the Colorado & Southern. The rumor
has been current in railroad circles for
several days that the Cripple Creek
road was to soon change hands, but
only on yesterday was 1t generally be-
neved that the Colorado & Southern
was the purchaser.
The Colorado & Southern now
handles its Cripple Creek business
through traffic agreement with the
Colorado Midland Terminal lines, and
II is said that 1t is the desire of the
company to secure firm grip on the
Cripple Creek district business, hence
its purchase of the Colorado Springs &
Cripple Creek,
1t is believed that the purchase, If
1t has been made, is not for immediate
results, but for the future, as business
is steadily increasing in the Cripple
Creek district, and there is every indi-
cation that the district has never
reached the limit OF its prosperity.
Denials are made that the Colorado
& Southern has bought the Short Line,
as the Colorado Springs & Cripple
Creek road is commonly known, but 1t
ID asserted that the deal was put
through recently in New York. Presi-
dent Howbert of the Short Line is now
in New York, 1t is said, and that there
he negotiated with Edwin Hawley, the
principal owner of the Colorado Il
Southern for the sale of the road. 1t
cost approximately $3,500.000 to build
the Cripple Creek road, but it is not
believed that the property sold for
that amount.
The Cripple Creek road was built
by mine owners OF the Cripple Creek
district so as to have an independent
road. Prior to its construction they
were at the mercy OF the Midland Ter
minal and Florence &c Cripple Creek,
both roads being owned by the same
company. The charges for ore were
deemed exorbitant and In order to get
out of the meshes they built the Grip
pie Creek road. The road was built
practically in an air line from Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek. 1t has forty
six miles of main line and several
miles of switches to mines in the dis
trict. 1t operates through trains be-
tween Cripple Creek and Denver in
conjunction with the Rio Grande.

When Mr.. Moore consented to take the
