Will Be Affected by Trouble
ON Santa Fe.
STRENGTH TEST TO-DAY
Railway Official Declares the
Strike VIII Be of No Con-
siderable Magnitude.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Over 500 machin-
lists and large number of allied workers
on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road were reported out on strike up to 6
o'clock this afternoon. When the whole
striking strength is brought out, embracing
not only the machinists. but the Allied
Metal Mechanics Association, boiler MAX
ers. blacksmiths, copper workers. helpers.
etc, as WELL the total number involved,
according to President O'Connell, of the
Machinists' Union. may approximate be-
tween 10000 and 1900 men.

from headquarters here. after the men
along the line had voted unanimously in

CHICAGO, May 2.-Third Vice President
Kendrick. of the santa Fe system, said
relative to the machnists' strike which
was declared on the Santa Fe to-day:
THE shops of the company were not
opened to-day because we had received in
formation from three independent sources
to the effect that a strike had been ordered
TO occur this morning. When they are re-
opened, as they probably will be to-mor-
row morning. the magnitude of the strike
can be definitely ascertained. Within a
week or ten days the company will have
a full force in all shops.
THE number of men directly controlled
by the Machinists' Union is not large and
the labor market is i'm such condition just
now to make it perfectly practicable to
obtain plenty of skilled labor in any de-
partment."

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
IN INDIANA TO-DAY TO
DECIDE LOCAL ISSUES
Remarkable Campaigns Close at

Other Places.
PARTY LINES NOT DRAWN
Sharp Contests Expected Where
Citizens Are Dissatisfied with
Present Administration.

Municipal elections will be held in nearly
all of the principal cities of Indiana to-
day, and, while the campaign has been
waged in most cases on local issues. con-
tests in many of the cities will be close and
spirited. Republicans at Terre Haute ex

its reputation as a city where not DEM

Republicans at Logansport have hopes
of electing Mckee over Vaughn, the Dem
ocratic candidate, despite the fact that
the city normally is Democratic by a small
majority.
At Huntington one of the bitterest fights
in the history of the town ended in nasty
mudslingng affair and several personal
encounters between prominent men were

Washington expects to redeem the city

publicans expect to vindicate the policy OF
the New Albany Republican Council which
reduced the water rates.
Municipal ownership is the issue at Rich

capital out of the fact that the electric

Zimmerman's supporters are confident he
will be elected.
Dissatisfied Democrats, il is believed will
aid in the election of William Cox at Cow

troll the Council at Shelbyville, and have
strong hopes of electing the entire city

made by the Republicans at Connersville

Russian Admiral Wants Every Boat
He Can Get.
St. Petersburg, Sept 23.-Capt.
Cladot, Vice Admiral SkrydlOf's chief
of staff, has arrived from Vladivostok
with important dispatches for the en-
peror. In an interview Capt. Cladot
informed the Associated Press that the
repairs to the protected cruiser Boga-
tyr had been completed and that the
damages to the armored cruisers Grom-
oboi and Rossia did not necessitate
their going into drydock and that both
were fit to resume active service. He
admits that the chief mission of these
vessels is to prey upon commerce, but
says they had hard fight with Vice
Admiral Kamimura's ships when the
latter attempted to cut off their retreat.
Cladot says the Russians will be una
BILE to recapture Port Arthur in the
event of its fall, without having the
mastery of the sea, and he urges the
dispatch of every available ship to
the far East, including the Black Sea
fleet.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press is informed on good authority
that Grand Duke Alexis, the high ad.
miral, favors sending out the Baltic
fleet to the far East by way of Cape
Horn, but it is still undecided whether
the fleet will start this year.

THEY NEED COAL
RUSSIAN AGENTS BUY AT HIGH
PRICES.
They Also Offer a Big Bonus for
Delivery at Port Arthur---Be-
Has Not Enough for Ships
to Get Away.

London, Sept. 23.-The unusual and
open activity Of Russian agents to Sc
cure large shipments of coal to be
shipped into Port Arthur and to be
taken to other points in Oriental wat
ers, including an uninhabited island
of the Philippine group, presages big
naval movement and another attempt
of the Russian warships now at Port
Arthur to escape before the fall of the
stronghold.
Unusually high prices are being Of
fered by the Russian agents for the
coal, and big bonus is being offered
shippers if they will run the blockade
and get it into Port Arthur, which
from all accounts is now on the verge
of coal famine. 1t is stated the war
ships in the harbor must receive a
large amount of fuel Immediately or
their engines will have to be stopped
and they will become absolutely useless
The report that the Russians are ne.
gotiating for the delivery of coal on
one of the Philippine group, which is
American territory, comes from Vlad.
ivostok. Another report from that
city also states that the Russian cruis-
ers have already left on cruise, the
scope of which is not known.
In naval circles this activity of the
Russian agents is believed to be the
first step in big naval movement
during the winter, and after the arriv-
al of the Baltic fleet now en- route to
the far Fest.
Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Sept.
23.-The British cruisers st. George
and Brilliant, arrived here this morn
ing. They are supposed to have come
for the purpose of watching the Rus
sian cruisers which, it is reported, will
coal here.
Vladivostok, Sept. 23.-Overtures
are being made through German chan
nnels with Larrang for the dispatching
of coal to uninhabited islands of the
Philippines, to be taken therefrom by
Russian ships.
Liverpool, Sept. 23.-Russian agents
are Offering 30 shillinsg ton for coal
for the far East. An additional offer
of 10 shillings ton is added to the 30
if the blockade is successfully run and
the coal delivered at Port Arthur.

Paris, Sept. 21.-A friend of your
correspondent thoroughly in touch
with high finance in Paris states that
he is in position to assert that the
chances of raising new Russian
loan in Berlin have diminished, and
adds:
"Our financial authorities are afraid
that failure to obtain more money in
Berlin will cause Russia to once more
knock at our door,"

Shortage in Worlds Supply Will

Portland, Or, Sept. 2l.-According
to the Oregonian, shortage in the
worlds supply of hops, which it cal
culates to be lis, 200 bales, is respon-
sible for the active market that now
exists although the picking is not yet
completed. 1t is said in some quarters
that one half of the Oregon crop and
five.sixths of that of California is al
ready out of the growers hands.
Growers are very firm in their views,
many of them expecting prices much
higher thana re now offered
Several orders have come to Port
land in the last few days from Eastern
houses at 26 cents, but the dealers re.
port that they have difficulty in filling
them at his figure. Several small sales
have been made above this figure.
