struction at the plant Of the Harlan

OPERATORS STRIKE
CRIPPLES HILL LINES
Movement of Trains in the
West Is Seriously Inter
fered With

ST. Paul. Mimi. Aug. 3.--The strike
Of telegraphers on the Northern Paci-
fc and Great Northern has assumed
a serious aspect.
Freight traffic is almost suspended
on both the systems. No freight trains
are moving. Trainmen are willing to
run them during daylight, but not at
night, and orders are out for all
lfreights to sidetrack and wait until
morning before moving. It is doubtful
/ if more than a dozen Of the 1000 will
move today.
OF the 1900 operators on the two
systems, 1475 men are out, many tram
dispatchers among them. At Minot,
n. D., the most important point be-
tween St. Paul and the Pacific Coast.
100 operators quit work, leaving half
a hundred non-union men to care tor
the business.
Only three operators are at their
posts between st. Paul and Bismarck,
on the Northern Pacific. a distance of
600 miles. Not more than a dozen sta
tion agents, who were not also the op-
orators, are at their posts, and pas
Isengers have been obliged TO pay their
fares on trains and load their own bag
gage.
Advices by telephone and letter and
by telegraph from a few points show
that the situation cannot be improved
at once. It has been reported that the
railroads have imported several hun
dred telegraphers from the East and
South, but none have thus far arrived

RECORD OF DEATHS is GROWING

/ New Orleans, Aug. S.-The bitter
ness between Governor Blanchard, Of
Louisiana, and Governor Nardaman, of
mississippi, growing out of the quar-
lantines has nearly produced a clash
between the authorities Of the two
States and the danger is not yet pass

almost came to interstate war yester-
day on the Gulf coast, where since the
beginning of the fever there has been
much bitterness.
Most Of the coast towns were op-
posed to quarantining against New Or
leans. as they are more hurt by it than
the city. and they petitioned Governor
iVardaman to be excluded from his
State quarantine against New Orleans.
The Governor refused their request,
and not trusting the local authorities
to put an effective quarantine into OPP
Grafton, turned the matter over to the
militia and placed General Fridge, Ad-
jutant General Of the State. in charge.
The quarantine army under General
Fridge was re-enforced by a quaran-
tine navy of six vessels employed TO
patrol the coast and run down and
lcapture all Louisiana vessels in Mis-
lsissippi waters and to send the crews
and passengers to the United States
quarantine station at Ship Island. This
was done in several cases and in other
the Louisiana vessels were fired on
and driven of.
The situation was complicated by
the fact that there is already a dis
