TELEGRAPHER's STRIKE.
Attempt to Tie Up Great Northern
and Northern Pacific,

ST. Paul, Aug. with the tele-
graphers almost to man remaining
loyal to thir union chiefs and the rail-
way officials making every effort to
maintain traffic, the telegraphers'
strike on the trans-continental lines
of the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads has taken on the aspect
of a war to the finish. Hundreds of
men have gone out on both lines, nee
essitatfng the closing of scores of sta.
lions, and an immense hindrance has
been caused in the moving of trains.
Through passenger trains and time
freights by great effort has been kept
almost on schedules. but attempts
have been practically abandoned to
maintain local freight and passenger
service. The greatest interference in
schedules has been on the Idaho d.
vision, some of the fast trains being
delayed five hours, where the striking
operators had turned the signal boards
or opened the circuits.
Freight matter in less than car load
lots for intermediate points was re-
fused at the freight offices in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis during the day.
Large quantities of perishable
freight were handled by the express
traffic was almost invariably demand.
ed, and toward evening guarantees
of delivery were refused, signed no
tees being required.
The railway officials say tonight
that they are well satisfied with the
situation and that in ten days they
viii have enough men to I'LL the places
Of the strikers. Bureaus have been
established in The principal cities OF
the west where men are hired. The
officials say that the greatest care is
being taken in the selection of men,
and that only thoroughly competent
operators will be employed. Mean
while trains are run ON t1me-card rules
and in sections, and in this manner
satisfactory progress is made.
No accidents have occurred thus
far. RumOrs were circulated that
there had been one OF two collisions
at points in North Dakota. but these
are denied.
President Perham OF the telegraph
ers declares that 81 per cent of the
union members are out and that they
will stay out until they receive what
the union officials have decided will
be square deal
Mr.. Perham says that 80 per cent
of the men are both station agents
and telegraphers and where these
went out the stations are closed in
almost every instance. He states that
a number of train dispatchers. while
not members of the union, went out
in sympathy.

kaw, editor Of the Hachi Shimbun of
Toxic, one of the men officially &C.
companying Baron Komura, the ia
panese peace envoy. has given out an
interview in which he outlines what
he declares to be the popular feeling
in Japan regarding peace terms.
my people feel that this is no time
for peace; that it is too early" he
declares. First, we must get Har-
bin and vladivostok, for unless we
get them we fear that bye and bye
we shall have to fight again. We
must stop Russian ambition now
once for all. We do not wish to fight
the Russians again, once peace has
been concluded"
On the question of indemnity, MIR.
Ishikaw said that the very smallest
sum his people would be willing to
consider was $750,000,O0O the actual
cost of the war SO far, but that some
demanded as high as two and half
billion dollars. He himself thought
the people would be satisfied with
100000. Then Sakhalien must be
ceded for two reasons. he continued.
"In the first place, it was exchanged
by Russia thirty years ago for the
Chishima archipelago. but these 9th.
er islands really belonged all the time
to Japan, and it was only because
Japan was at that time afraid of Rus
STA that the deal was assented to-"
