NATIONAL UNIONS
Refuse TO Indorse the New York
Subway Strike.

New York, March 1.-THE most
interesting development in the sub
way and elevated railway strike sit
uation in New York was the stand
taken by some of the national labo-
leaders in repudiating the action of
the local leaders,. who ordered and
are conducting the strike.
The first intimation the public had
that the strike was not Endorsed by
the national union came in a state
ment from Grand Chief Stone of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, to which the motormen be-
long. Mr., Stone stated that the strike
was a violation of the laws of the ma
tional union, the men having broken
their contract with the interborough
company. He ordered the men to re-
port for duty, falling which expul-
sion from the organization is threat
ened.

s ,ys They Must Not Sell Any
Liquor Tomorrow.
VIII Revoke the License of Any Drug
store That Violates the
Law.
TOMORROW TO BE DRY SUNDAY

Mayor Yeiser says that his deter
mination to enforce the Sunday clos
ing law is just as effective in the mat
ter of drug stores as saloons, and he
will treat all alike.
You may say for me, that | in
tend TO revoke the license of any
drug store found guilty of selling liq-
uor on Sunday as / will the saloons,
because they have no more right to
sell liquor on the Sabbath and VIC
late the law than the saloons"
Mayor Yeiser stated that as long
as there was a law governing this
matter he intended enforcing II and
would play no favorites. Drug
stores carry a retail liquor license
and come under the provision of the
law the same as saloons.
b 1t has been reported to the mayor
that some of the drug stores have
been taking advantage of the ''dry
Sundays" and have done a land-of-
flee business in booze. The mayor
says they have no right to sell whis-
key except by prescription. and he
will see that they do not.
Tomorrow promises to be one of
the highest Sundays on record. II
will be impossible to buy a drop of
liquor, and as a result there is al
ready a big rush in jug and bottles.
The police expect more DRINKS to-
morrow than for many months, be-
cause when the people have to buy it
in big lots they are not careful about
how much they drink.

More Talk of Peace,

London, Mar. 1i.-"According to
the Graphic overtures for peace have
already been practically commenced.
The cars readiness to negotiate
having been intimated to the French
government and communications
having passed between the British
and French governments with a view
to Great Britain opening commune
cations with Japan. II is impossible
at the present to confirm or verify
the Graphic's statement which de-
clares the decision is due not only to
the defeat of Kuropatkin nut also to
almost insurmountable difficulties
Russia met in the last attempt to ne
gotiatc in Paris.

London. Mar. 1.-THE fate of the
Russian army OF quarter of a mill
lion men and the 1000 pieces of ar
tillery. with which IL was expected
confidently Gen. Kuropatkin and his
lieutenants could prevent the ad-
vance of the Japanese beyond the
Shakhe and the Hun river position,
still Is in the balance. The Russians
have been driven from their posi-
tlons and now are rushing northward
toward Tie Pass, around which are
high hills which were prepared for
defense after the battle of Lao
Yang in September.
The result of Oyama's great turn
ing movement Is said to depend on
Gen. Kamamuras army, which is
supposed to be moving from the east
toward Kuropatkin's line of retreat.
Should he reach the military road
which runs almost In direct line
from Fushun to Tie Pass, before the
passage of the Russian army, the cir
Gle will be complete, as Nogi's guns
already command the railway and
should soon control the Mandarin
road, which Is a short distance east
of the railway and runs parallel with
II. The army of Gen. Kaulbars,
which has been pressed back across
the western plain, hghting every
inch of ground, Is moving northward
TO protect the Zine of retreat from
The westward attacks. while Gen
Bilderling is protecting the rear
against Gems. 0ku and Nodzu, and
Lineyitch is doing his best to hold
the military road against Kuroki.
They have numbers against them,
but have succeeded against odds. in
similar retreat before, The appear
ance of Gen Kamamura might rem
der futil all their efforts.
The army which Gen. Grlpenburg
turned over to Gen, Kaulbars when
he left Manohuria, and portion of
which Gen. Bilderling commanded,
consisted OF Gregoff's cavalry, Mist
chensko's mobile division and tho
Firth, Sixth, Eighth, Tenth and Sew
enteenth Army Corps, extending from
the Lao river to the Mandarin road,
Gen. Lineyitch's army, which held i'm
Lineyiteh's army, which held the i'm
portant positions at the bend of the
Shakhe, including Erdagon Hill,
comprised the First European and
the First, Second, Third and Fourth
Siberian Corps, Rennenkampff's mo-
bile division aud samsonoff's cavalry
The troops which arrived in-January
aud February, probably two corps,
are not included in this list
Even SHOULD Kuropatkin extricate
his army. II is believed in some Eu-
ropean capitals that peace soon will
follow this latest Japanese victory.

follows:
Confidence has become more gen.

and expectation that the war will
soon terminate. Weather conditions
are favorable in most sections of the
country, and there is little inter-
ruption because of labor controver-
sizes.
The most gratifying news of the
week emanates from the iron and
steel industry, where unprecedented
output of pig iron is not productive
OF accumulated stocks. Other leading
manufacturing operations are max
