CHICAGO--The teamstors' strike
has reached the point where its fur
Their progress aud its further increase
Is dependent upon the action taken by
the members Of the Chicago Team
Owners association. This organiza-
ton has from the first declined to
make deliveries to the boycotted
houses and has constantly urged the
Transfers to arbitrate the question OF
making such deliveries.
The teamsters have positively re-
fused 10 deliver or receive goods, and
now the last chance of securing any
concessions from the teamsters having
faded away the members of the Team
Owners association must either de-
eide to deliver goods or allow the
teamsters to have their own way in
the matter. Opinion among the mem
bers of the Team Owners association
Is strongly divided and the result may
be a split in its ranks. Many Of the
largest team owners in the city have
announced that they are going to
make deliveries. while other are I'M
decided as to their course of action.
meeting Of the organization will be
held tomorrow night and the action
taken at that time will largely deter
mine the future scope of the strike.
If the Team Owners association de-
cides TO make deliveries and dis
charge all OF its men who refuse to
obey orders, the ranks of the strikers
will be increased by about 5000 men.
The strikers made another attempt
to force a break in the ranks of the
Employers association. A committee
called on Edward Hillman. proprietor
of a large dry goods store, and asked
him to arrange another conference be-
tween the teamsters and the employ
ers. Mr.. IIillman positively refused,
saying that unless the strikers had
some new proposition to offer it was
useless to attempt to reach any agree
ment, Their present attitude he said
was such as there could be no pos
sible middle ground upon which the
| employers could meet them. This was
the only attempt at adjusting the
strike made and it is not probable that
more efforts will be made for some
| time to come.

NO SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
Adjustment of Trouble Appears to Be
AS Far Off AS Ever.

AS Far OFF AS Ever.
CHICAGO-An adjustment of the
teamsters' strike by mediation seems
as remote now as it did two months
ago. Peace negotiations begun last
week, which promised to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the diff
Guilty, have been abandoned for the
present, at least, and the strike will
be allowed to take it's natural course,
according to President Shea of the
Transfers organization. A natural
course means one of two things, either
spread of the strike or defeat for
the union, as all business firms now
involved in the trouble absolutely re
fuse to concede anything further in
the controversy or to bring about a
settlement.
Peace negotiations are off for all
time" said Levy Mayer, chief counsel
for the employers 1--WE absolutely are
finished with all conferences with
strikers. The only thing that prevent
ed a settlement of the whole trouble
was pique on the part of President
Shea because he had been sighted in
the conferences and was angered on
account of his arrest in connection
with libel charges filed by Mr. Thorne
of the Montgomery Ward company.
The only way that a settlement can
be reached now is for the strikers to
acknowledge defeat"

offered the Russian ships the neces-
sary coal in lieu of fourteen days

whether the Russians will be able to
carry such quantity of coal on account
Of their damaged hulls.

were introduced, of which many have

MISUNDERSTANDING peace
negotiations between Russia and Jap
an are generally believed to be under
way, and it is conceded that President
Roosevelt will in all probability act
not as a mediator, but as the friendly
channel of communication" There is
as yet no official admission that Rus
STA has accepted what Count Cassini
in his cablegram to Count Lamsdroff
last week described as the "offer Of
good will Of the president" although
instructions to the ambassador are
believed to have reached here We'd
nesday night in long cablegram
which was received at the Russian
embassy quite late and was laid be-
fore the ambassador just before he re-
tired.
All that can be authoritatively said
regarding this cablegram is that it
concerned Count. Cassini's cablegram
of last week. No appointment has
yet been made for the ambassador
to see the president, but by one close
to Count Cassini it was said that it
is expected that some appointment
might be made within the next day or
two.
Immediately upon his return to his
legation Wednesday night after a
long conference with the president,
Mr.. Takahra the Japanese minister,
began the preparation of dispatch
to his government upon which he was
occupied until quite late. For the
first time since the humiliation of the
Russian fleet, the minister did not
feel at liberty to comment upon any
phase of the situation.
"The situation is too delicate at this
moment for me to say anything" he
remarked. when there is some
thing definite, perhaps | may have
something to say. But | do not eX-
pect anything definite for some days"
1t can be stated that the president,
through Mr. Takahra is endeavoring
to get some definite idea regarding
Japans peace terms. Mr.. Takahira is
giving him all the assistance that he
can, but the most that he can do is
to inform his government of the pres
ident's wishes and to emphasize his
personal conviction that the president
can be trusted absolutely to guard
Japan's legitimate interests. Indeed,
fortunate phase of the present stu
alton is that both Mr.. Takahira and
Count Cassini are personally convinc-
ed of the presidents impartiality and
sincerity of purpose in the delicate

partly is caused by encouragement
from Russia. Norway knows we'll
enough that what Russia needs of
Scandinavia is the Norwegian harbors.
But she knows, too, that the Norwegian
harbors in Russian possession will con-
siderably reduce the value of the Brit

that can be of any practical use to
Russia, and that may probably be the
reason why Sweden has been so care
less about the union. 1t really looks
as if Sweden purposely has forced
Norway to the break. For that reason
we do not expect any further trouble
except dynastical. Not long time
ago, / think, there was majority in
Norway for offering the Norwegian
crown to one of the princes, but after
the dynasty in the latest struggle plain
ly has shown great sympathy for
Sweden against Norway, settlement
in that way hardly can be considered.
The ideal principle in Norway at
present seems to be to form defensive
union between the three Scandinavian
countries, if the great powers will al
low it. Joined, they may count some
in the European concerns; separated,
