PRESIDENT RIPLEY TALKS.
Discipline Requisite Among Large Bod
les OF Men.

Los Angeles, Nay 6.-The Express
President E. P. Ripley of the Santa Fe
system, on the subject of the strike of
the machinists on the Santa Fe lines:
1.-The company will have no difficulty
in filling the places of the men who
quit work. We have no quarrel with
unionism among our men. We deal
with unionism in the case of conduc-
tors, engineers, firemen and trainmen,
but these unions have never made out
rageous demands to which we were
asked to submit by the machinists,
and which would have transferred to
the Machinists' union the management
of our shops. OF the men who left our
employ, probably at least one-half did
not want to strike, and were not in
sympathy with the demands made on
us by the union. but felt obliged to go
out with the others; for this class 1 am
very sorry and realize the difficult po-
sition in which they were placed. 1t
may as well be understood, however,
that no semi-public corporation, owing
duties to the public as the railroad and
street cars, the telegraph, telephone,
etc, can for one instant accept the
principle % the closed up or surrender
its power to maintain order by dis
cipline. There never was order among
large bodies of men without discipline,
and there never will be :"

Commission Approves Contract Plan.

Washington, May 6.-Under the law
the Panama canal commission may do
the construction work itself or it may
be let out by contract. The probable
ity now is that the great bulk of the
work will be done by contract. 1t has
been suggested that a construction
committee be appointed to do the work
under the commission. The organiza-
ton of several COMMITTEES, each to do a
specified portion of the work, also has
been suggested. Members of the COM
mission point out that if the canal be
dug by contract the construction COM

GARRISON REDUCED TO 1000 MEN
Japanese Have Landed at Both Pirsewo
And Port Adams-RaiIroad Connect
ing Port Arthur With Mukden And
Hardin Probably Already Cut.

Rome, May According to tele-
gram received here from Che Foo the
garrison at Port Arthur has been re-
duced to 1000 men and all the impor-
tant documents, money and field guns
have been removed to Mukden.
London.-A dispatch to the Central
News from st. Petersburg says the
japanese have landed at Port Adams,
on the west coast of the Lao Tung
peninsula as well as at Pitsewo.
Port Adams is situated about fifty
miles from Port Arthur at the head of
Society bay and on the railroad con-
Meeting Port Arthur with Muxden and
Hardin. Consequently it may be in
ferred that if the report of japanese
landing there is correct, communica-
ton with Port Arthur has been cut
off. Pitsewo, on the east coast where
the japanese have landed, is less than
twenty miles from Port Adams.)
Che Foo.-The expected landing of
the Japanese on the peninsula of Lao
Tung commenced Thursday according
to reports received here from a reliable
Japanese source. 1t is stated that the
landing is being made on the eastern
coast of the peninsula opposite the
Elliott islands. After reconnaissance
from Takushan south by naval de-
tachments the Japanese concluded that
comparatively small force of Russian
cavalry guarded the eastern coast.
st. Petersburg. landing of the
japanese at Pitsewo, northeast of Port
Arthur is officially confirmed. is ex-
pected that the railroad connecting
Port Arthur with Mukden and Hardin
will soon be cut.
The department of Viceroy Alexieff
and Grand Duke Boris from Port Ar
thur was hurried owing to the posi-
bility of interruption of railroad COM
munication. The Japanese landed in
sufficient force to discourage the few
hundred Russians watching at Pitsewo
from offering any resistance.
Paris. - A dispatch to the Havas
agency from st. Petersburg says the
japanese troops who land at Pitsewo
have cut the land communications with
Fort Arthur.

Topeka, May Santa Fe officials
announce resumption of shop work
all along the line from Topeka to the
Pacific coast. They state that in most
cases the shops are running with full
complement of men.
In many cases union machinists hare
gone out but their positions will all be
filed, intimate the officials.
Third Vice President Buckalew of
machinists' union, says that the
trouble has just begun and that not
another union man would return to
work. He further says many will go
out in sympathy.
Here in Topeka the shops seem to be
running up to their old capacity, but
n the machine shops the force is I'M
doubtedly smaller. Neither the rail

ing for concessions and no reports of
violence are made.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is a
