TO SETTLE
Chicago Team Owners As.

diate Action.

Chicago, June 1.-Action calculated
to bring quick ending to the team
sters' strike has been taken at a meet
ing OF the Chicago Team Owners as
sociation, new committee being ap-
pointed to demand of the teamsters
that the right Of team owners to make
deliveries to strike bound houses be
submitted at once to arbitration.
Should the drivers refuse to agree to
this proposition meeting Of the team
owners will be called, it Is understood.
and vote taken on the question of
making deliveries to strike bound
firms. Should an affirmative vote be
taken-and there are many team
this step, the main support OF the
teamsters' union would be taken away
and more than 1900 drivers added to
the idle army that has been created
since the strike against Montgomery.
Ward & Co. was called April 6. The
effect Of the teamsters' strike is seen
in the building transfers for May.
which fell far short Of maintaining
the same increase over year ago as
was shown in April. There were 794
building permits issued during April
for structures to cost SC, 100. 40, while
in May the permits numbered, 633 fo-
structures to tsost 81, $3.50. =
Chicago. June Efforts toward n
settlement of the strike were made to-
day by the teamsters opening negotia-
tions with the individual members of
the employers association. The terms
appeared to be practically those pre-
viously rejected by the merchants as
a body, namely. that in event Of the
raising OF the boycott with reference
to the members Of the employers as
sociation, the teamsters should not be
required to deliver to or receive goods
from the express companies.

OF freight handlers in Delaware x
Hudson and the Boston & Maine rail

places. Only five of the 80 men who
struck were given work to-day. The

UNDQUALLED IN HISTORY.

the Russian defeat a staggering disas-
ter unequalled in naval history. Prac-
tically every fighting ship OF once

tured, representing loss of tonnage
exceeding 10000 tons. The remaining

Rojestvensky, gravely wounded, occu-
pies cot in a japanese hospital, q
prisoner OF war.
Toxic. astounded and elated at the
first measure OF victory, seems to be
unable to clearly grasp the still greater
triumph that Admiral Togo brings to
the nation.
Before the combat partial victory
with operations around VladfvOstOk
during the summer was generally ex-
pected. No one dreamed of annihila-
ton at the first meeting.
Later reports indicate that the fight
ing was of the most desperate nature.
On Saturday and Sunday there were
persistent torpedo attacks following
heavy gun fighting. Admiral Rojest-
vensky appears to have been hopelessly
outchssed in gunnery. 1t is reported
that 1t was necessary for Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky to change his flagship five
times during the battle. He finally
took refuge on the torpedo boat de
stroyer where he was captured.
Admiral Togo's later dispatches given
to the public early this evening created
the highest enthusiasm. High officers
Of the army and prominent officials
hurried to the navy department. and Of
fered congratulations.
The entire stan Of the Bank Of
Japan. headed by band, marched to
the navy department and cheered in
honor Of the victory.

H LOVE LETTER.

Before it's sealed and sent away
Sit down and calmly read it;
Your case is desperate today,
And f%eryently you plead it,
But ere the letter meets the glance
OF your enchanting houri
Think how 'twould sound if it by
chance
Were read before a jury.
You call yourself her turtle dove,
And her your priceless jewel;
You say your bosom flames, and love
You tell her is the fuel;
Your lines are filled with adjectives
And in an ardent fashion
You swear that nothing. while she
lives,
Can ever quench your passion.
But look it over while the ink
Upon the sheet is drying
Then send it to her If you think
That, having done with signing,
You might sit calmly by and smile,
Unmoved by shame or fury,
In case you had to listen while
Twas read before a jury.
S. E. Kiser..
