NEcTloN WITH TRANSFERS
STRIKE AT CHICAGO.
FEVERISH LABOR CONDITIONS PREVAIL
WALkOUT OF EMPLOYEES OF THE
UNION TRACTION COMPANY
AGAIN THREATENED.

Chicago, May 26.-Troops were not
called during the day to control the
strike situation and may not be for
some days yet. With $500 deputy
sheriffs on duty and 2,7GO city police
energetic in furnishing protection for
teaming the city authorities were a
unit with Sheriff Barrett in making
the positive statement that soldiers
were not needed yet.
Responses to the mayors call for
1000 citizens to volunteer for special
police service were few, but the city's
executive did not become discouraged
The absence OF any serious form of
strike violence in all strike affected
portions OF the city did much to keep
up the spirits of the authorities.
Spread of the strike in the lumber
district was confined chiefly to the
hardwood lumber yards and did not
affect as many firms as some Of the
members OF the LUmbermen's associa
ton feared. Although President Shea
Of the teamsters made light Of fears Of
employers that the lumber tieup would
soon affect 100000 men in the city's
building trades the impression pre-
vailed that the action Of the carpen-
ters and other artisans in openly boy
cotting supplies from .'struck" firms
would eventually lead to an industrial
paralysis that would make the situa-
tion too serious for the civil authori-
ties to cope with.
Feverish labor conditions are ap-
parent. Not the least sensational of
the days developments was re-entry

Louis and Memphis.

Thebes. ILL.,, May 26.-There was
opened here during the day to the
North and Central West a new gate
way for commerce and traffic and hu-
man intercourse with the South and
the great Southwest. The only bridge
crossing the Mississippi river between
st. Louis and Memphis, attended by
ceremon- rs in which the governors of
Illinois and Missouri and prominent
railroad officials representing the pro-
prietary roads participated, was for
maliy opened to traffic and dedicated
to the uses of Ave great railroad sys-
tens and the business of two great
sections of the nation. There were
present also as invited guests a num-
Der of we'll known railroad and busi-
ness men from diTtS@nt parts Of the
country, who had come to Thebes in
special trains from Chicago and st.
Louis.
The dedication exercises took place
upon platform at the east approach
of the bridge. Governor Folk of Mis-
souri,, who made the dedicatory ad
dress, said the Thebes bridge had
placed in direct communication two
vast sections, the North and Central
West and the South and Southwest.

Governor La Toilette Sends Special
Message to Legislature.

Madison, Wis, May 26.-Governor
La Toilette has sent to the legislature
a message urging legislation that
would destroy secret lobbying. He
strongly denounces "the impudent
railway lobby which, he says, has
cost the state millions Of dollars in
the last six years and has been a
nuisance and disgrace on the legis-
latiVe halls Of the state. The railroad
lobbyists are described as usually a
set Of incompetent men, 'best fitted
for private argument" but whom the
railroads would not trust with petty
damage suit in justice court" The
governor declares members of the leg
islature were dogged to their hotels
and their lives made miserable the
past winter by agents of railroads, the
book trust and the telephone trust.
The governor declares the practice of
secret lobbying is wrong in principle
and absolutely certain to be vicious in
practice" The senate recently killed
the Johnson bill, drawn along the lines
of the governors recommendations
but new measure will now be pre-
sented.

MEANS IDLENEss FOR MANY.
Tieup of Lumber Business Will Affect
100000 Men.

Chicago, May 26.-C. S. Wicke, Sec
retary Of the Hines Lumber company,
said during the day that inside of a
week 100000 men who work in wood
will be Out of employment if the tieup
of the lumber district continues. The
woodworking mills are already af-
fected.
+. p. Smith of the hardwood lumber
firm of F. Ryan & Co. asserted that
already 5000 lumber yard workers
have been laid off on account of lack
of business. Fifty mills will be forced
to shut down within week. Lumber
and saw mills in the Northwest are
beginning to curtail operations. All
orders for delivery of lumber to Chi
cago have been cancelled.
President Shea of the Teamsters
union held a different view of the
prospect for a complete tieup of the
wood and building industries. He did
not agree with the prophecies of the
lumber dealers. He said:
All this talk Of tying up the build
ing industry is idiocy."

probable.
St. Petersburg, May 26.-The ad-
niralty has no information cOnfirma-
tory of the Manila report of the defeat
OF Admiral Togo south of Formosa.
While it is considered possible that
there may have been brush between
scouts the idea of an open battle with
Togo is not credited in the best in
formed naval circles, where the opin-
ion is expressed that Admiral Togo
would not dare to risk bringing his
battleship division so far south to meet
Admiral Rojestvenslly. 1t is believed
that Togo will try to keep in touch
with the Russians by means Of fast
cruisers and await Rojestvensky's ap-
proach off the japanese coast. Accord
ing to the admiralty's calculations Ro-
jestvensky should now be far out in
the Pacific, almost 1000 miles north
east of the place where the battle is
reported to have occurred.

PRlSED AT NEWS OF NAVAL
ENGAGEMENT.
SAY TO6O CANNOT AVOID BATTLE
WOULD HARDLY ALLOW RELIEF
OF VLADlVOSTok WITHOUT
RESISTANCE.

st. Petersburg, May 26.-Admiral
Avellan, head of the Russian admiralty
department, confirms the Associated
Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral
RoJestVensky is steaming north to
give battle to Admiral Togo. He con
s1ders it possible that news that the
two feets have met may be received
any day.
In an interesting interview Admiral
AVellan reaffrms the official denial of
the report that Rojestvensky has
broken down and asked to be relieved.
AVellan says RojestVenslly sent de-
tailed reports Of the condition of his
own health and OF. the health Of the
crews OF his ships. The constant ten
sion and hard work Of the past months
nave been a great strain on the adj
mirals health.
Even before he left said Avellan,
"Rojestvenslly was a sufferer from
kidney trouble, but his health is no
worse. His reports breathe a spirit Of
strength, resoluteness and confidence,
and other reports show he has in
spired his crews with the confidence
OF their commander"
DO you anticipate sea fight soon?"
the admiral was asked. He replied:
Japs Cannot Avoid Battle.
certainly. The japanese cannot
afford to allow Rojestvenslzy to relieve
al NTr+
] personally expect it to take place III
the near future, though l admit the ad-
miralty knows nothing of ROjestven-
Sky's strategy or plans, the emperor
having accorded him complete free
dom Of action. Possibly it is his pres
ent purpose to seek Admiral Togo and
force a light, but it is more probable
that RojestEensky is bound for his
base at Vladivo6toE However, I can
say nothing definite on this point.
In response to a suggestion that
Togo might Intentionally allow Rojest-
vensky to get to Vladivostok, content
ing himself with torpedo attacks while
the Russians are on their way there
and then try to bottle Rojestvensky
up in Vladivostok, Admiral Avellan
smiled and said:
The story of Port Arthur will not
be repeated. Rojestvensky is not the
kind of man to allow himself to be
locked up in a port. If he gets to
Vladivostok he will not rest on his
laurels, but will seek an engagement.
He will try to wrest the mastery Of the
sea from Togo. There are many ways
Of compelling Togo to accept battle.
Rojestvensky will only have to bonn
bard one OF the coast cities to force
Togo to appear in it's Defense"
