Great TeamsterS' Strike In
Chicago Finished.
STRIKERS SURRENDER
First Break in Ranks Came Yesterday
When Lumber Teamsters Returned
to wOrk-vote This
Morning.

Chicago, July 81 The teamsters
strike, that has so greatly disturbed
business conditions in Chicago for the
last 105 days, was, at 1890 o'clock
this morning officially declared of by
the teamsters' joint council
The men have been ordered to seek
their old positions and it is estimated
that less than one-half of them viii be
re-employed The strikers have made
a complete surrender and will apply for
work as individuals and without an
agreement Of any kind with their em-
ployers.
The first break came yesterday when
the lumber teamsters voted to return
TO work regardless of what action might
be taken BY any other union. Last
night the department store drivers and
the railway express drivers voted to
call oil the strike. 1t is expected that
about 60 per cent Of the department
store drivers win be reinstated
The employers say that only such
men viii Be taken back as are needed
after the non-union men have been pro-
vided for and that the question Of wear
ing union buttons must be left to the
individual employer.

AS PROTECTIVE MEASURE.
Was the Placing Of Rutland Street Rail
way in Receivers Hands.

Rutland. July 2t.-David Fox, general
manager OF the Rutland Street Railway
company, stated yesterday that the ap-
plication of Douglas Robinson, receiver
for the Merchants Trust Co., of New
York, for a receiver for the Rutland
street railway made at Burlington We'd
nesday was made chiefly to protect the
interests of the company which he re-
presented. The street railway property,
Fox said, is proving profitable and it
has been understood investors have been
giving it some attention with a view
Of possible purchase To prevent such
transfer which might not be for the
advantage of the trust company, Robin
son decided to ask for receiver.
In further explanation Mr.. Fox, mo-
tice Of whose appointment as receiver
came from Burlington during the fore
noon, said the Peoples Gas Light company
and the Chittenden Power company al.
though allied with the street railway
company were in no wise involved in
the Feceiyership Fox was of the opin-
ion the reeeivership would continue until
the Merchants Trust eompany's inter
ests had been satisfied through disposal
OF such assets as might be necessary
It was not improbable, in FoE's opinion
that a reorganization Of the street rail
way company might take place. Fox
stated also that Robinson was the only
one claiming authority TO give out q
statement of the financial condition Of
the street railway company.

over Boston yesterday, Pitcher Ed. Ruel-
bach of the Chicago National league
team, known as Sheldon, the "boy won

took the congratulations OF his admirers
in his usual modest way.
President Greene of the local team said
this afternoon that Ruelbach will be at
the game this afternoon and that he
will appear in uniform. However, it Is
not likely that he will go into the box

q little ia practice and give the fans a
chance to see how he has kept his wing.

reputation for himself in the two

a major portion Of the games in which
he has pitched, against the strong and
weak teams Of the National league. He
has not been babied as the cub pitcher
Of the Chicago team, being put against

China Sends Message to the
Powers.
ASKS TO BE CONSULTED
When japan and Russia Get Together
to Settle Upon Peace Terms
Identical Notes
Sent.

Washington, July 21.--China's official
notification to the powers that she will
not recognize any arrangement regard
ing Alanchuria concerning which she has
not been consulted beforehand has now
reached Washington and will be forth
with forwarded to the President at 0y-
ster Bay. Before addressing this note
to the neutral powers China sent to st.
Petersburg and Toxic an identical note
containing this notification. The Chin
ese communication is briefly worded and
is so expressed that it calls for no
reply
Tie arrival Of the text Of the note
disposes OF the unofficial report reaching
Washington recently from Europe that
China had requested that she be allowed
To participate in the conference.
Chinas motive in addressing to Rus
sia and Japan such a notification was
10 remind them that she had never ac-
quiesced in the alienation of Manehuria
from Chinese sovereignty and that she
expected as the first result Of the war
tie full restoration to Chinese control
Of that province. That this position
might receive the continued support Of
the neutral powers, copies of the note
were forwarded to the other capitals
for presentation by the respective Chin
ese representatives.
Chinese viceroys, governors and Dip
lomatic representatives generally are
unanimous in the belief that this res.
toration should be made uncondition-
ally. They also believe that additional
Manchnrian ports should be opened to
the worlds commerce for a limited per-
iod and that the powers be asked to
waive extra territorial rights in Man
churia in favor Of China. Ii this were
done it was recommended that the re-
mainder Of Manchuria be declared open
to foreign commerce.
Adyices reaching Washington indicate
that the insistance upon the uneondi.

condition finds favor In the Chinese capi.
