FEDERATION OF LABOR PREsI-
DENT ARRIVES IN STRIKE
STRICKEN CITY.
END OF THE TROUBLE SEEMS NEAR
NATIONAL CIVIC FEDERATION
MAY INTERVENE TO SECURE
A SETTLEMENT.

Chicago, May 1S.-The presence of
President Gonpers of the American
Federation of Labor in Chicago is an
indication to some that a settlement
of the strike is a. aeQuestion Of few
days. He had a talk swith Mayor
Dunno, also with the chairman of the
aldermanic peace committee and the
strike leaders. He said ne was gath
ering information When asked
whether he was to settle the strike he
said he was here merely to give adj
vice--that he would not act unless au-
thoriZed by President Shea.
Mayor Dunno is understood to have
told Mr.. Gompers that if the strike
spreads the militia will De called out.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made to get the National Civic
Federation to intervene to procure a
settlement.
The livery cab drivers have decided
to deliver their "fares" at the boy
cotted stores.
No more coal Is to be delivered at
school buildings by nonunion drivers.
This, it is believed, will prevent fur
ther strikes of the school children.
There was an increase Of deliveries
during the day in all parts of the city,
the department stores claiming that
their deliveries are about normal
There was little interference with the
nonunion drivers and few disturbances
of minor character.

ADMIRAL RoRJEsTvENskY SAID
TO RE DANGEROUSLY ILL
ON BOARD SHIP.
SUFFERING FROM KIDNEY TROUBLE
VERY DlsoulETlNe REPORTS IN
CIRCULATION AT THE RUS
SIAN CAPITAL.

st. Petersburg, May 1S.-Very dis.
quieting reports are in circulation
about Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
health. It is said that he has tele-
graphed to the emperor that it is i'm
possible for him to proceed. An even
ing paper prints a report that the adj
miral suffers from a nervous break
down. No official confirmation of the
report that RojestvenslSy has requested
to be relieved from duty is obtainable
at the admiralty. Nevertheless, the
admiral's health has been the cause
Of considerable anxiety here. It IS we'll
known that he suffered from kidney
trouble before leaving Cronstadt and
throughout the long voyage to the Far
East he suffered at times to such an
extent that he had to be carried about
on stretcher. But the Russian COM
mander stuck braveiy to his post. If
he is now compelled on the eve OF bat
tie to give up his command the ad-
miralty would regard it as little short
of national misfortune. RojestVen-
sky has proved to be a genius as an
organizer and confidence is felt that
he will show equal ability as a fighter.
Should RojestVensky be compelled to
leave the fleet the. command will de-
volve on Rear Admiral Yoelkersam,
who is now with r. Rojestvensky.

CHICAGO Mayor.


Chicago, May 1s.-President Com
pers of the Federation Of Labor called
upon Mayor Dunno during the day, the
meeting having been arranged by Will
lam BoWes, a Chicago merchant and
q personal friend of Mr. Gompers.
President Gompers assured Mayor
Dunno that he would use every hon
settlement of the strike to the best
interests of all concerned, although
admitting that he was without author
ity to act Immediately after leaving
Mayor Dunno Mr.. Gompers conferred
with Alderman Dever, chairman. of the
mayors peace committee.
Mr.. Gompers gave the head of the
peace committee similar assurances
OF willingness to aid in bringing
about settlement of the strike.
That President Gompers came to
Chicago at the solicitation of both the
business men and the teamsters' Off
cials to act in the capacity of peace
maker was the statement of the ma
tional labor chief himself.
During the afternoon it became
known that President Gompers had set
in motion the peace machinery OF the
National Civic Federation in an effort
to bring about an adjustment of the
trouble. Before the national labor chief
left Washington he was in communi-
cation with August Belmont and other
leaders of the Civic Federation.
Through them he has made arrange
ments to reach the prominent Chica-
goans who are in position to bring
great influence to bear on the Chicago
Employers association.

STATE INSTITUTION SHUT UP.
Northern Pacific Bank at Brainerd,
Minn., Closed.

Brainerd, Mimi, May 1S.-"Closed
by order of the public examiner for a
thorough examination was the notice
found posted on the door of the North
ern Pacific bank Of this city by as
tonished citizens during the afternoon.
Though no official statement giving
the cause of the states order that the
bank be closed can be secured the rea-
son may lie in the fact that the iabil-
tiles of the institution are scheduled at
s200,Q00, against deposits of $l65, GOO.
The bank is capitalized at $25,0OO and
has stated surplus of $4,000.
A still run on the bank that state
examiners noticed some days ago, it
is said, was in danger of draining the
institution of what cash it had and
that the lack of cash was responsible
for the examination.

NO INCREASE IN WAGES.
Governor Douglas Findings in Fall
River Strike Settlement.

Boston, May 18.-In statement is
sued during the day Governor Douglas,
as referee in the settlement of the
Fall River textile strike of 1904, finds
that a partial restoration Of wages is
not warranted. When the strike was
settled in January last through Gov
ernor Douglas intervention he was en-
powered to fix margin of profit at
which operatives would receive an in
crease of wages. The governor reports
that the conditions during the months
between January and April were not
such as to warrant an increase.
The strike, which affected about 50,-
900 persons, was begun in July, 1904,
to resist cut of 1917 per cent in
wages. The strike lasted nearly six
months, at the end of which ti~@ the.
operatives returned to work WIN the
reduction in effect. The strikers went
back in consequence of thel t.micable
Intervention of Governor Douglas and
the agreement was that the governor
should, after investigation, decide upon
what margin the mill owners could
grant an increase of 5 per cent up to
April 1 of this year.

IMPERIAL REscRIPT MoDIFIEs
DEGREES IN NINE GOVERN.
MENTs OF RUSSIA.
MORE FREEDOM IN ANCIENT POLAND
IN ONE SWEEP WHOLE BURDEN
OF VExATiCUS LAWS HAS
BEEN REMOVED.

st. Petersburg, May 1S.-There is
little room for skepticism as to the
genuineness Of the broad policy of i'm
perial reform after the remarkable
steps sanctioned by Emperor Nicholas
in the imperial rescriDt issued Tuesday
modifying the restrictive DEGREES in
nine OF the Western governments Of
Russia and giving the Poles greater
freedom for acquiring farming lands
and purchasing landed properties and
industrial premises and giving permis-
sion to introduce the Polish and Lith-
unian languages in the primary and
secondary schools, where the majority
OF the inhabitants are non-Russian.
Almost in one sweep the whole burden
OF the veXatiOus restrictive laws in PO.
land and the Baltic provinces have
been removed and the privileges for
which the natives have been fighting
for years are restored, the assemblies
of the Polish mobiles are re-established
and all the harsh administrative meas
ures introduced at the time Of the pol
Icy Of reaction and classification are
abolished, unless later for purposes of
state after the recommendation Of the
council Of state they receive imperial
sanction. AS natural sequence of
freedom Of religion the oppressive pro-
hibition of the purchase Of land by
Catholic peasants is abolished. In eff
feet the measures sanctioned amount
to an entire reversal of Russian policy
in ancient Poland and the Baltic prov
inces.
Lifts Burdens From Poland.
In Poland, by confning the land
holding to persons OF Polish extraction
not even by testament, it was designed
to force the Poles either to become
orthodox Russians Or drive them into
Poland proper The hardships thus en-
tailed we're innumerable. The prop
erty Of deceased Poles was sold to
Russians by forced sale and at ridic-
ulous prices.
These measures, it is understood,
will be followed by the Introduction of
LOCAL Sell-SONGluu6lL llTClSn lHe
zemstvo system. The steps taken will
undoubtedly have immense influence
upon the population of Poland and will
practically meet the demands of the
rational reformers, who really recog,
nize that the restoration of the king
dom of Poland is an idle and visionary
dream.
The committee OF ministers has gone
no further with the Jewish question
than to grant freedom Of residence to
the artisan class. The question in it's
entirety is of such great Importance
that it has been decided to refer it to
the coming general assembly. This
practically is a decision to defer it to
the will of the representatives of the
people, being the first public recogni-
tion that the government intends to,
be guided by it's action.
The emperor's action has produced
a splendid impression among the re-
form elements, which are expressing
the highest satisfaction.
