NO UNION LABOR
FOR THE AMERICAN BRIDGE
COMPANY
Claim They Are Paying More Now
Than the Union Scale to the
Present Force.

Cleveland, o.. Dee. 26.-'The Amer
lean Bridge company Is through with
union labor for all time" said Man
ager u. M. Sprague today, I'VE are
paying even more than the union scale
to our present force of workers on ev-
cry building the American Bridge COM
pany is erecting throughout the United
States, and besides we are getting bet
ter results at less cost than obtained
under union labor bosses before tue
strike began. AS l said before, the
American Bridge company will hire
men as individuals. but not as union
lists. In New York the union men
have repudiated their organization and
are working for our concern at good
wages"

. THE WALSH BANKS
ARE NOW ABSOLUTELY OWNED
BY CHICAGO INSTITUTIONS
All the Stockholders VIII Lose the
Entire Amount of Their Invest
nents. 1t Is Said.

Chicago, Dec. 26-Chicago's associat-
ed banks are the absolute owners OF
all the assets OF the three Walsh in
stitutions whose failure was announc-
ed one week ago yesterday. They have
agreed in the selection of the First
Trust & Savings bank as the agent
and trustee in the sale of assets and
dissolution of the business of the
: Walsh institutions. All the stockhold-
ers in the Walsh banks will lose ev-
erything they had invested.
1t was stated today on the highest
authority that the stockholdings OF
all Walsh's followers are absolutely
worthless,
Two agreements were signed by the
interests at the big meeting of bank
ers. In one, carefully concealed from
the public, the associated banks agreed
to by all the assets OF the Walsh banks
In the other the directors and big
stockholders under John r. Walsh
agreed to indemnity the banks from
any loss In closing the insolyent in
stitutions. The latter agreement was
most extensive and binding IN its
character.
by agreement of all the banks con-
cerned the First Trust &avipgs bank
of which President j. b. Forgan. OF
the First National bank is president
has been chosen as the agent through
which the last work of closingy the
: Walsh banks will be DONE" said one OF
, the men working ,ons the Walsh fail
ure. ,'Affairs have progressed TO a
1 point. that makes it absolutely clear
that none of the stock In the Walsh
banks will be worth a penny after the
dissolution. The banks are working
hard TO make ends meet in closing the
institutions, but they anticipate de-
ficit."
Before disposing of the Chicago Ma
tional bank building or other assets OF
the Walsh banks the new directors
of the Chicago National and allied
concerns have decided to inspect
Walsh's railroad properties In indi-
lana. Tonight they left for Terre
Haute and tomorrow morning will
make trip over the Southern Indi-
ana. John r. Walsh VIII be one OF
the party.

REVOLUTION IN -SANTO DOMINGO
President Morales Has Suddenly Disappeared and
a Successor is Named for the Governor.
American Cruisers and Gunboats in Domini !
can Waters.

the Morales government is oyerthrown
q situation will arise in Santo Domingo
which will be decidedly embarrassing
to the United States
AT present Col. Cotton, the collector
of customs and his assistants are act
ing under the direction of the Morales
government OF the collections 45 per
cent is being turned over to the gov
ernment there for current expenses,
and 55 per cent is being deposited
with the National City bank of New
York, pending the ratification Of the
treaty between Santo Domingo and
this country.
This money deposited In New York
is intended for the payment of the
bankrupt republics foreign debts.
Representatives of the administration
are careful to point out that the pres
ent 'modus yivendi," in Santo Do
mingo is in no way an agreement be-
tween Santo Domingo and this coun-
try. 1t is an arrangement made by
the Dominicans themselves, for the
disposition of the customs, as an
nounCed.
1t is a fact however. that Col Col
tons name was suggested to President
Morales, and his cabinet, by this gov
ernment. Col. Cotton is working for
the Morales government, by whom he
has been paid, but he has also made
monthly statements OF collections to
the war department.
Should the Morales government, as
1t is called, which established the mo
dus yiyendi" be eliminated, the ques-
ton asked here is, what would be-
come Of the collection system headed
by Col. Cotton, and would this gov
ernment interfere to maintain him and
his assistants in the custom houses,
in the absence of the treaty upon
which the senate has not yet passed?
The United States warships which
are lowering about Santo Domingo,
would surely protect Col Cotton and
his assistants as American citizens,
out in case the Horacistas, as the rev.
olutionary party is termed, should
overcome President Morales and his
Jiminezests there Is grave question az
to Col Colton's status. This govern
ment would maintain that the senate
be called upon to determine as to the
death of Morales regime, and to pass
upon host of most embarrassing
| propositions of law and diplomacy.

Washington. D. c., Dec 26.--Santo
Domingo's Compromised revolution
has begun. The disturbances, which
had been checked off on the calendar
to take place November 20, but failed
to materialize, passed safely over and
well through December. II began to
look as il trouble really would be
averted.
According to the dispatches received
at the state and navy departments
President Morales has suddenly dis
appeared, the captain of the port OF
tuerta Plata has been shot at, wound
ed and captured by the revolutionists,
the governor Of the province. of when
Monte Christi is the capital seat, has
been pursued and found It necessary
to barricade himself. The governors
successor has been named by the gov
ernment which acts with great cau-
tion, Much unrest and excitement pre-
walls.
Although American interests and
customs and other officials on the is
land are considered by the state de-
partment to be safe, there Is evidence
that this. government does not intend
to take any chances. as indicated by
the rapid movement of cruisers and
gunboats back into Dominican waters.
Several weeks ago a number of the
warships that had been lying in the
neighboring waters of Monte Christi
were called northward. presumably on
account of the action desired of the
senate and the Santo Domingo treaty
Last Friday and Saturday. however
the few vessels of Rear Admiral Brad
ford's cruiser and gunboat squadron
were reinforced by other vessels TIL
now there are nearly a dozen cruisers
and gunboats within easy reach OF the
| ports of San Domingo.
Besides the warships now of the
/ coast of Santo Domingo, a number OF
others are close by, among which are
the cruisers Tacoma, Chattanooga anC
Newport, which arrived at San Juan
yesterday, and the Denver, DesMoines
and Cleveland, which reached st
| Thomas yesterday from Culebra.

At FULL SPEED
THE CARS DASHED THROUGH
THE LEAPiNG FLAMES
Heroic Efforts Alone Saved Passer
gers from Injury as They Passed
Over the Burning Viaduet.

Cleveland, o.. Dec, 26.-Dashing at
full speed through flames leaping 100
feet into the air. street cars loaded
with people crossed the Superior street
viaduct tonight in safety, although tn ;
glass in the cars was broken by the
heat and the passengers were thrown
into a panic.
But for the speed Of the cars and
the efforts of the conductors and the
men on the rear platforms, many per-
sons would have been injured. When
the flames shot up along the cars the
passengers inside started for the door
but those on the platform held them
in until all danger was passed.
The fire finally destroyed one sec
ton of the Norcross Brothers marble
works under the viaduct and on the
west side of the river. Prompt work
on the part of the firemen kept the
loss down to about $4,000,
The origin of the fire Is a mys-
