last "a years of her life: Hoping to
better their fortunes Mr.. Right went

short time before her death she spoke
calmly, cheerfully of her departure,
saying she was ready when God called
for her. and was garnered into Gods
great garner.
On the 10th inst after a brief funeral

They had a tradition that a long
time ago a months rain came upon

were divided into eight clans. Each

made such progress toward civilised
life that they gave up their tribal

FOUR MEN CAUSE STRIKE
Walkout in Chicago Opposed by Union
Ohicials-Rig Work Impeded

CHICAGO, May 6.-The Chronicle today
says: AS a result of the actions of the
four laborers fully 1900 workmen have
been thrown out Unemployment at the new
plant of Sears, Roebuck & Co. at Kedzie
avenue and Taylor street where a model
cooperative industrial establishment, COW
ering large area, is being built at a cost
of several million dollars. Work on the
buildings is practically at a standstill
remarkable feature of the strike is
the fact that the officials of the unions to
which the men belong are strongly against
the walkout and most of them will demand
that the entire force return to work or face
trial boards. Warrants were sworn out
for the four men accused of causing the
trouble. One of them, John Duffy has
duct.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable four men for two days mingled
with other laborers ordering them to quit
work. The reason assigned was that the
well diggers or caisson workers were being
paid but 40 cents an hour, whereas II was
said the price should be 80 cents
The management refused to pay the extra
five cents and the quartet Is said to have
urged a general walkout on the part of the
laborers the other union workmen having
to quit of necessity.
The contract with the laborers is for
As cents an hour and not So and the
leaders in the strike were not authorized
by their unions to call out the men
The 200 well diggers quit work through
intimidation it is claimed, and the grounds
were emptied speedily of all workmen,
numbering something more than 1900.

Comment Aroused Again Over French
Newspaper's Publication.

PARIS, May 6.-Owing to renewed reports
that Foreign Minister Delcasse intends to
resign as a result of differences with Pre-
mier Rouvier over foreign affairs, the for
eign office today made specific statement
to the effect that the best relations exist
between MN. Rouvier and Delcasse and
that the latter has not any present purpose
of retiring. This was called out by
rather sensational and explicit assertion in
the Figaro, as follows:
Owing to disagreements existing between
the premier and minister for foreign af-
fairs the latters resignation is expected be-
fore the reassembling of the chamber some
weeks hence. NJ. Rouvier, desiring to take
an active part in the conduct of foreign af-
fairs, has not received the cooperation OF
NJ. Delcasse in learning the status of past
negotia tions nor the character of future ne
gotiations. If NJ. Delcasses resignation oc-
ours NJ. Rouvier will call as his successor
a functionary having distinguished career
for whom he holds the highest personal
esteem"
