BOSTON s BREAD SHY.
Bakers Quit Work Supply is Cut
 on.

BOSTON, May 2.--A strike of mora than 1,4O0 bakers in this city, Cam bridge and Chelsea went into effect at 6 o'clock last night. Every bakery in the three cities is affected, with the exception of the Hebrew bakeries. The men quit work at 6 o'clock, and the night shifts failed to appear. The daily output of bread in Boston is from 100000 to S50,O00 loaves, and this supply will be practically cut off. In all of the bakeries the employers were making feeble attempts to keep their shops in operation, but all ad- mitted that the outlook for a produc- ton of any size was poor.
 The large hotels and restaurants will not be affected, as the employees of these places that bake their own bread and pastry are members of the Cooks and Walters union and will not be called out. The smaller hotels and restaurants that depended on the bak- cries for their supply of bread, cake and pastry will be seriously incon- venienced.
 The proprietors of the bakeries, banded together in the Master Bakers association, have refused absolutely to grant the demands of the men and have declared that in the future they will operate "open shops"
 The employees demands were em- bodied in a new working agreement which provides for an increase of wages union shops and the use of the union label on every loaf of bread made.
 The master bakers were willing at first to renew the working agreement in force during the past year, but now declare that they will not sign any agreement nor recognize the union in any way.
 The strike of the bakers is not con- fined to Boston, Chelsea and Cam bridge. Strikes have been ordered in the districts centering in Lynn, Salem and Brockton. At Fall River and Walt ham the unions have deferred action for one week in the hope that the mas- ter bakers will concede their demands.

THEATRES TO CLOSE.
A Number of New York Houses Have
 Not Asked for Licenses.

New York, May 2.-At least six theaters have failed to put in applica- ton for renewal of their licenses by the commissioner of police in whose hands the matter rests. These houses will not be open tonight and three more will not be allowed to open unless they make such alterations as the com mittee of safety shall recommend. It is declared by the authorities that if any house under the ban shall attempt to open 1t will be closed at once by the police. It Is understood, however, that the three playhouses mentioned are not among the important ones on Broadway and that tn aothers merely deleyed asking for their licenses in order to carry out changes ordered i'm mediately after the Iroquois fire.

Prof. w. H. Burr, a New Commits
sioner, Is Heard by the House
Committee.
MORTALITY ON ISTHMUS

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE House
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce to-day further heard Prof. w. II.
Burr on the question of sanitation of the
Panama canal route. The isthman canal
commission had. he said, regarded the sub
ject as one of the greatest Importance The
works of sanitation would be chiefly the
construction of water works and a sewer
age system for the cities of Panama and
Colon and the drainage of districts be-
tween those cities. II would, however. he
said, require the cooperation of the police,
as the people on the isthmus have no idea
of sanitary principles. He estimated the
cost at $2000,O00. The completion of the
canal. he said, could be accomplished in
eight or nine years.
Answering Mr.. Hepburn Professor Burr
said that where men are careless in their
habits on the isthmus the mortality is high.
He had not, he said, ever heard that a
thousand men lost their lives for every mile
so far work had been done upon il, nor
had he ever heard of a graveyard contain
ing 5000 graves or laborers, or of the fact
that out of 500 Chinese laborers 500 had died
In three months. Professor Burr was SUBJ
jected to many questions mostly bearing on
the amount of excavations made by the two
French companies and said that they had
excavated about 1900. 900 yards, two thirds
of which useful, leaving 1000, 600
cubic yards yet to be excavated.

E|GHT-HOUR BILL MAY
NOT Be REPORTED SOON
Congressional Committees Will
Continue Hearings Throughout
: the Present Month.
GREAT INTEREST TAKEN

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-If the present
plan of the House committee is carried into
effect the eight-hour bill will not be passed
al this session. In fact. the indications are
that the measure will not even be reported
The hearings in this connection have been
more extensive than ever before. They
were started several weeks ago. and will not
be finished until the 18th inst. 1t was
thought some time ago that ID. NJ. Parry
of Indianapolis, president of the National
Manufacturers Association. would be sum-
moned before the committee, but he will
probably not be called upon. Secretary
Marshall Cushing has appeared for the as
ISOLATION, and he is in constant attendance
at the hearings. The fate of the anti-in-
junction bill is also in doubt. These two
bills. of so much Importance to labor or
CARNATIONS and manufacturing interests.
are among the most important now pending
in Congress. Great public interest is CEN
tered in them. They are being considered
with great care and the committees do not
them. For this reason there is a strong
probability that neither will be reported,
and certainly they will not be called up
Tor passage until next winter.
Oliver Crosby, president and engineer OF
a hoist and derrick company of St. Paul,

York Metal Trades Association, were heard
to-day by the Senate committee on edu-
cation and labor. Both spoke in opposition

gun for the congressional campaign this

the Republicans will hold their caucus for
the organization OF the Republican congress
sional committee. Representative Hep

resent Indiana on the committee. There is
no opposition to his selection. Babcock. of
Wisconsin, will succeed himself as chair
man. and Mr.. Overstreet will continue as
secretary IL he so desires. Both gentlemen
have made good records at the head of the
committee The Indiana delegation will
meet tomorrow or Saturday to formally
select Mr.. Overstreet
The Republicans now have about thirty
majority In the House and every effort will
be made to hold. and. II possible, increase
ing q presidential year, the Republicans be-
heve the chances favor them far as the
House IS concerned but the Democrats
have 80 much advantage In the Southern
States and there are so many close districts
that the Democrats have hope of CARRYING
the House, even IL the presidency should go
strongly against them.

MISSIONARIES REFUSE
PROFFER OF SUCCOR
Americans Near Ping-Yang Must
Now Take Consequences of
Their Actions.
GOOD ADVICE IGNORED

WASHINGTON, March 16-United States
Minister Allen has cabled the State De-
partment from Seoul under to-day's date
that the Cincinnati arrived yesterday at
Chemulpo with twenty-three Americans
from Chinampo.
The minister announced that the mis-
sionaries in the neighborhood of Ping-Yang
had refused to send their women and chill
dren abroad the Cincinnati, where they
could be taken to a place of safety. He
also reported that the Marquis Ito was ex-
pected to arrive at Seoul tomorrow. The
marquis brings an autograph letter from
the Japanese Emperor to the King of
Korea and it is believed here that he will
be an adviser to the King and in that
capacity will shape Korea's relations with
the powers.
The attitude of the missionaries is one
familiar to the State Department in con-
nection with Oriental troubles 1t has used
every effort by counsel and advice, and by
extending the. use of naval vessels TO in
duce these Jealous people to temporarily
repair to some place or safety, but often In
vain, as in this case. The department has
made it clear to the missionary representa-
tives in this country that in the case of
actual war like this it cannot undertake
to employ the United States army and navy
in expeditions into the interior of coun-
try which is the scene of war. If the mis-
the United States government cannot re-
move them and they must take their
chances with other civilians.
Commander Mason, of the Cincinnati,
notified the Navy Department to-day that
he had taken the twenty-three American
refugees to Che-Foo, China.

Battleship and Cruiser
Squadrons.

Admiral Evans in which he invites atten-
ton to the record made on the recent trip

Cavite. covering a distance of practically
$500 miles in mdwinter. The admiral
says:
During the run from Yokohama to Homo
lulu the seas were the worst L have ever
experienced and continued practically
throughout the entire run. The weather
conditions from Honolulu to Cavite were
better and on the whole the trip was an
easy and comfortable one. During this
run of practically $500 miles TO Cavite no
repairs or overhauling were done on the
engines OF any of the vessels by any out
side force, and only such was done by the
force board each vessel as could be
taken in hand during the short time OF the
stay of the vessels at Honolulu when not
occupied in coaling. The speed maintained
by the battleship squadron from Yokohama
TO Honolulu was twelve and one-half knots
The battleship squadron arrived in Cavite
over this run of $500 miles in as good con-
dition as when IL started out from Yoko-
hama, and was ready for any service that
it might be called on 10 perform. The same
could be said of the cruiser squadron
with the exception of the Cincinnati which
needed new air-pump rod.
