ALL UNION HEN EXPECTED TO
 QUIT WORK.

Men Ordered Out in Sympathy with
 New York Freight HandIers-Another
 Phase of the Consolidated Railroad
 TroubIe--steamship Men Say They
 VIII Have No Trouble in Filling
 Places.
 Boston, June S.-A general strike of the marine f1remen has been declared, and all the firemen employed on steam ships in this harbor. who belong to the union, are expected to quit work within the next three days.
 A telegram from New York was re- ceived this afternoon by Business Agent Maloney, of the Boston organization, which stated that strike of the ma rine firemen on all lines had been de- cided upon by the general executive board in that city. In the Jurisdiction of the Boston union are Portland East port and other places along the New England coast. The strike was ordered in sympathy with the New York freight handlers
 Steamship agents here say that should the order become effective they would have no trouble in finding men~to take the places of the present employees.
 Boston. June S.-At meeting of the local branch of the Atlantic Coast Fire mems union here tonight strike was declared against three steamship lines having terminals here, with the pros pect of the strike being extended to a fourth line immediately. The lines against which the strike was declared are the Merchants and Miners Trans tportation company, to Baltimore. the Joy line to New York, and the Clyde line to Jacksonville.
 1 Unless the Metropolitan Steamship company agrees to the demands of the union the leaders state that strike will be declared against that line. It i is nota probable, however, that there will be any difficulty on the vessels of 1 the Boston and Philadelphia and United Fruit companies or the eleven steamers 1 of the Eastern Steamship company | At the present time it is impossible to tell how many men will be ordered out but it is not believed that more than 150 will quit work tomorrow. The only step taken tonight was the calling out of all firemen on the steamer Howard of Merchants and Marines

CRIMSON PRACTICE ON THAMES.
Fast Time Made Over the cOurse-The
 Actual Time.

Harvard Crew Quarters. Gales Ferry.
 June s.-Better time was made tonight
 by the Harvard varsity crew, which
 went over the course of four miles in p
 minutes and 30 seconds. almost a
 minute and half faster than the time
 for the row last night The varsity
 crew started about o'clock and rowed
 down rather easily but fast. At the line up were the. second crew and the
 freshmen, the sormer going two miles and the latter three miles down the
 river. The pace was pretty fast and soon the second crew began to drop
 behind. but the first pear men hung
 on well and when they dropped out of the race at the three mile post their shell was about two lengths behind that of the varsity. A tWenty-eight
 stroke was used over almost the en- tire course by the varsity. the drive
 was better and the boat travelled along
 with little hitch between strokes, yet there was unsteadiness. In the last half mile the stroke was hit up to a good thirty-four. The conditions for lto-night's trials were better than yes- terday, there being more tide with the wind at the quarter.
 After the four miles were finished,
 the boat was headed up stream and the crew padded back to their quarters in one stretch. The varsity .our-oared crew rowed to the bridge in two stretches and back the same way, the form being good.
 This morning there seemed to be, little life in the crews on account of the hard row of last evening and they were not worked hard. On a mile row down the river the boat was unsteady land Coach Colsen seemed dis couraged,
 but was more pleased with the worx of the men tonight.
 The new .Davy shell of the four pared Icrew was used this morning for the first time and proved satisfactory.

THE ELIAS CASE.
Expected to Reveal Interesting Facts Renardfnc Extorti0n.

|
 l New York, June S.-When Hannah
 Elias, the negress under arrest for ex- ltortion, goes on the stand in her own defense on Friday she will tell, it is 1 expected, a story of how she was black mailed for years, and how threats of exposure of the relations between her. self and John R. Platt drew thousands from her, great part of which money Platt furnished knowing for what it was to be used. Following her testi-
 mony two warrants will probably be is- Isued for persons who rendered profess lsional services to the negress, one of them physician, the other lawyer.
 Augustus c. Nanz, who was Mrs
 Elias lawyer for a time, said tonight that Mir. Platt consulted him about the latters threatening exposure if money was not paid to the writers.
 The full extent of this bleeding" process, it is believed amounted to a lround $10,000. It will probably be easy to prove the procedure, because part of the money was paid by checks. The scheme began, it is declared, by bill from the physician out of all proportion to the services rendered. This, being |paid, paved the way for other demands.
 In turn, these were met and others suc- iceeded them.
 Mrs. Elias will testify that she com
 piled with the demands upon her until,
 in desperation, she refused to pay more. Then a suit against her was threatened.
 She told Platt of the demands, of the
 impending suit, which would in all pro-
 bability disclose more than he or she
 desired, and he yielded to the black
 mailers demands. The names of "other prominent men," it is said. will be dragged into the case, because, accord ing to Mrs Elias, Platt was the only man that was ''bled." The Platt law yers served their injunction papers
 upon Mrs. Elias in her cell in the Tobs late this afternoon, thereby tying up every dollar she possessed.

THE ATWOOD SUITS.
No Conference at Capitol Owing to Gov.
 ChamberIain's Absence.

Hartford, June S.-As Governor
 Chamberlain was not at the capitol to-
 day no conference with Attorney Gen. eral King in reference to the D. Pres ton Atwood suits was held. MT. King
 said to-day that according to a notice received from the clerk of the court of
 common pleas at Bridgeport to-day,
 papers have been returned in every
 one of the eighty-eight cases brought there and that in each instance the defendant is represented by counsel. He says that this disposes of the first batch of cases until the September
 term of the court. Tn the 300 or 400
 additional cases brought in the same court the returns will be to the Sep
 tember term Of the court. This makes
 the situation clear, in his opinion, as in the interval of time remedy can
 be sought to meet these actions.
