Chicago Strike Continues.

Chicago, May 2S.-Nothing devel-
oped to-day that would indicate an i'm
mediate settlement of the teamsters'
strike, which has been in progress
nearly two months. That the labor un-
ions are of the belief that the fight
will be a long one was demonstrated
at the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor to-day when arrange.
ments were made for holding a strike
demonstration on July 4.
According to the present plans 1t is
the intention to hold a monster parade
of the strikers and the affiliated unions
unless the controversy has been ended
before that date. At the meeting to-
day each union affiliated with the cen
tral body was represented by three
delegates at the request of President
Dold.
The strike situation was discussed
in all its details and the sentiment OF
the meeting was that the teamsters
should continue the fight until the
seven express companies should offer
some sort of compromise. The Off
cials of the express companies are still
obdurate in their declaration that no
concessions need be looked for from
their side, so the matter of settlement
through this channel seems as remote
as ever.
With over 1000 policemen and depu-
ties of the sheriff detailed on strike
Luty, the employers declare that dur
ing the present week they will be able
to demonstrate to the strikers that any
further continuation of the fight will
be suicidal to the teamsters' union.

SENTENCED To DEATH
FIVE MEN AWAITING EXECUTION
Warden of Colorado Penitentiary Has
Already Executed Eight Men-Sec-
retary Favors Habitual Criminal
Act.

Denver, May 27.-With the convic
tion of Joseph Johnson at Trinidad on
the charge of killing join Fox there
are now five men in the state OF Colo
ital punishment act. The are Fred
Arnold and Newton Aulrews. CON
demned to die in the wee beginning
June 11th; Patrick BrennCA convicted
of killing his sweetheart Leadville,
to hang the week beginnins July 21st;
Charles o. Peters. to han the week
beginning November 10Th and Joseph
johnson, date not yet set.
All Of these men are under thirty
years of age, except johnson. War
den Cleghorn has ALREADY executed
eight men for the state, and if he re
mains in Office and there is no inter
ference with the cases, he will have
hanged thirteen by the end Of the pres
ent year. There is the possibility, of
course, that there may be others added
to the list in the meantime.
In discussing the capital punishment
act recently, Secretary C. L. Hagar of
the opinion that there was a bill be
fore the last Legislature which, if it
had become a law, would have done
more to lessen crime than did the law
of 1903. He referred to the habitual
criminal act. Under this act it is pro
posed that when Il man is committed
to the penitentiary of state for the
third time, he is to be declared an in
durable and incarceratec for the re
mainder of his life.
The theory of this law is that if n
man has demonstrated that imprison-
ment does not cure him of criminal ten
dencies, then there is nothing left for
society to do but protect itself by put
ting him out of the way. Humanity
rebels at executing him, and, therefore,
he must be left in prison, that he may
no longer prey upon society or repro
duce his kind. Many criminologists
declare that executions aud imprison
ment do not have a deterrent effect
thus. the fear of life Imprisonment
might not actually lessen the proper
tion of crime, but with The habitual
criminals gradually becoming incarcer
ated there would be a perceptible de
crease in the number OF crimes com
mitted.
Mr.. Hagar says that study of the
records at the prisons is very interest
ing. showing that a majority of those
who commit crime are extremely Is
norant and unlettered.

President Talks Live Stock.

Washington, May 2S.-For the pur-
pose Of enlisting the sympathies of
President Roosevelt in a larger export
market for meriCan meats, +. j. Hag-
enbarth of Denver, president of the
National Live Stock Association, called
at the White House yesterday. So
great was the Presidents interest that
h has promised TO deal with the sub
ject in his next annual message to
Congress. and will take up other mat
ters of vital Importance to live stock
men.
Nothing can compensate for the
loss of market, except to get that
market back" said Mr.. Hagenbarth to
the President. I'VE have lost more

900 annually
The President encouraged Mr.. Hag-
enbarth to continue his explanation.
and then asked him what he proposed
as a solution.
Reciprocity preferably, and I: we
can't get that, retaliation replied Mr..
Hagenbarth. The President agreed as
to the remedy. although he thought
that reciprocity and retaliation could
both be adopted by the United States
"a reciprocal arrangement with coun-
tries that were disposed to be friendly
commercially, and saving the retalia-
tory methods for countries that were
inclined to treat the United States
with unfairness. He agreed with Mr..
Hagenbarth that the subject was one
that should go before Congress and
the people. and asked the president of
the live stock association to present a
brief that woul1 inform him of the
associations position. Mr.. Hagen
barth promised to put the brief in the
Presidents hands by July 1st.

Anxiety in Russia.

St. Peters burg, May 20, 2:l5 a. M
In this momentous hour the emperor,
the admiralty and the Russian public
are waiting breathlessly for the Japa-
nese to furnish authentic news of the
fate of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky and
his fleet. in which the hopes of the
Russians are centered. The official
disposition is to construe Tokio's ST
lence favorably, but at the same time
the strategic reason for such silence is
recognized.
The public after the premature jubi-
lation of Saturday night, is inclined to
reverse its attitude and to become pes
simistic.
The report sent to Washington by
the American consul at Nagasaki of
the sinking of five Russian warships,
including battleship and repair ship,
was accepted as the most definite and
the most authentic piece of news re-
ceived up to midnight, and undoubtedly
produced a bad impression. The fear
was expressed that the battleship sunk
might have been Rojestvensky's flag
ship, the Kniaz Souvaroff, on which
the Japanese undoubtedly would con-
centrate their fire.
The sinking of the repair ship Kam-
chatka, which was filled with the most
modern machinery, might, it was
thought, prove later to be more Sc
we're loss than that of warship. but
at the admiralty where crowds congre-
gated Sunday afternoon and evening,
the opinion was expressed that if Ro-
jestvensky had cleared the gateway to
the sea of Japan with no greater loss
than that reported by the American
consul, the passage had not been
dearly purchased, and especially if
later reports should prove that the
Japanese losse were proportionate.
Probably no one in Russia displayed
such intense anxiety as the Emperor.
Early Sunday morning he summoned
Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral; Ad-
miral Avellan, head of the Russian ad-
miralty department, and Admiral Wir-
enus, chief of the general staff of the
navy, to Tsarskoe-Selo, and remained
closeted with them up to late hour
last night, impatiently awaiting infor
nation, and poring over charts.
The only news received by his ma
jesty from Russian sources were dis
patches from Russian agents and con
suls at Chinese ports, which contained
nothing but current rumors. The only
time the Emperor left the members of
the chapel in the Alexander palace,
when the chaplain prayed for Rojest-
vensky's success.
The Emperor was greatly distressed
when the Washington dispatch con
tanning the information sent by the
consul at Nagasah arrived.
