PUPILS STRIKE
SYMPATHY OF CHICAGO SCHOL-
 ARs FOR TRANSFERS.
Highly Probable That Next Twenty four Hours VIII See the End of the struggle-Team.ter Joint Council and Committee of the Employer. to Confer To-day.

Chicago, May 17. A thousand more school pupils went on strike today. Five hundred walked out of the Went worth school, Seventieth and Wood streets and 300 walked out of the Bass school, Seth and Mead streets. Alleged s.'unfair" coal delivered by the Peabody Coal company was given as the couse for the walkout at the Bass school The strike at the Wentworth school is "sympatheticp strike.
 It is highly probably that the next twenty-four hours will see the end of the strike in Chicago. Tomorrow morning a meeting will be held be- tween the teamsters' joint council and Ia committee representing the team owners association.
 It will then be agreed, it is said, by the team owners and the teamsters' joint council that the demand of the team owners to make deliveries to boy cotted houses with union drivers be submitted to arbitration. Pending the decision of this board of arbitration the strike is to be called off and such mem bers of the teamsters union as are able to obtain their old positions will return to work. This will end the strike with the exception of the strike against Montgomery Ward & O., and it is ex- pected that the trouble in this direction will die out gradually.
 President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, was ac- tive to-day in all efforts made towards settling the strike. He conferred with members of the teamsters' association, held conferences with the teamsters, and had an extended talk with Mayor Dunne. He expressed himself as confi- dent that the strike would be adjusted within short time. He added he was in favor of almost any plant that would bring about an honorable adjustment
 The authorities have taken hold of the strike fever in the public schools with a firm hand and this afternoon Judge Mack of the juvenile court sen fenced one boy to the John Worthy school. which is branch of the house l of correction and sent two to the pa rental school. while a fourth was re leased on probation.

MoMENTUoUs EVENTS AT HAND.
Fighting on Both Land and Sea Expect-,
 ed Soon.


 ed Soon.
 St. Petersburg May 1S-2:40 a. m.--- With suspicious stoppage of dispatch es from Manchuria and a strong possi- bility that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has cut his last communications with home and set forth on the final stage of his journey to his goal, either Togo or Vladivostok, keen interest is mani Tested in naval and military circles here in the twofold field of war. Though the admiralty, which. has been complete ly silent since the advent of Rojest- vensky in the Chinese sea, publishes no dispatches, the conviction is growing that the united squadrons, as indicated by the Associated Press on May 15 de- parted from the Annam coast immedi- ately after their juncture, and naval of- ficials are anxiously expecting news of of the hostile fleets. The Associated Press correspondent, on his visits to naval officers yesterday to investigate the runor that Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky's health had broken down, was repeatedly and eagerly questioned for the latest information through press dispatches, which, it was declared, is a better source than the admiralty
 Neither the admiralty nor individual officers have any information regarding the rumored request of Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky to be relieved, and all who were questioned regarding the re- port expressed doubts as to it's accura- < cy. It was pointed out that it would be entirely impracticable for the fleet to delay in the China Sea until the ar rival of Vice-Admiral Birileff, and 1t was declared that Rojestvensky will keep his flag flying as long as he is not utterly iilcapacitated for command, which then would naturally devolve on Vice-Admiral voelkersam, who is known as an officer with Teutonic thoroughness and attention to the fine details of his profession. He is also a notable strategist and theoretician.
 The Associated Press was informed late last night that Vice-Admiral Biri- Jeff will be sent to Vladivostok, which possibly accounts for the origin of the rumor of Rojestvensky's request to be relieved of his command.
 On the military side the indications are that events are rapidly shaping for the preliminary stage of another great battle. The Russian army has been re- fitted and is ready for action, and it is asserted that General Linevitch is not the man to waste days in inaction.

FUTILEEFF0RTs TO PULL GREAT
 GREYHOUND OFF.

 Many Distinguished People Aboard.
 New York, May 1.-The big cunard liner Caronia is tonight still fast on Stynn's knoll of Sandy Hook, where sne grounded while making her way out to sea in the thick weather on Tuesday afternoon. When high tide served th's afternoon, six powerful tugs and q steam pilot boat strained and pulled at many hawsers and the big ship turned her own screws in an effort to slide her down from the mud. When the tide was at its height the Caronia's stern was swung around quite 8 distance and the tug men saw she was also moved slightly under the channel, but all ef- orts to entirely free her failed, and with darkness and falling tide the helping vessels suspended operations,
 The Caronia has full cabin list, em- bracing many distinguished people, but practically no word has come from the stranded ship as to how they are pass ing the hours in the rain and fog. From where the vessel lies the glow of the city's lights can be seen, but the pas sengers have been as effectually cut off from shore as they would have been had they been thirty-six hours at sea in- stead of in the mud with New York so tantalizingly near.
 The Cunard agents express confis dence to be able to free the ship with high water tomorrow morning, but to- days tide was said by watermen to be unusually high. It is reported that if she does not float tomorrow a portion of the cargo in the foreward hold will be lightered.
 The marine observers at Sandy Hook report the weather as cloudy and foggy, with the wind blowing a fresh breeze from the northeast.
 New Britain, Say T.-It was stated here tonight that there are fourteen passengers from New Britain on the steamer Coronia on Stynn s reef, off Sandy Hook
 At 1 o'clock tonight, the Sandy Hook observers reported that the wind was light from the northeast and not much sea on. It was still foggy.

ROJESTVENSKY IS SAID
 10 HAVE BROKEN DOWN
VERY DISoUIETING REPORTS IN CIRCULATION IN RUSSIAN
 CAPITAL.

It is Reported That He Has Tele-
 graphed the Emperor That It is Im-
 possible for Him to Proceed and
 Wishes to be Relieved-Togo Taking
 Up Position south of Formosa
 Where He Has Planned to Fight.
 St. Petersburg, May 17.-Very dis ouieting reports are in circulation this evening about Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky's health. It is said that he has telegraphed to the emperor that 1t isl Impossible for him to proceed. An evening paper prints report that the admiral has suffered a nervous break down. No official confirmation of the report that Rojestvensky has requested to be relieved from duty is obtainable at the admiralty. Nevertheless the ad- niraPs health has been the cause of considerable anxiety here. It is well 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 a stretcher. But the Russian com. mander stuck to his post. If he is now compelled on the eve of battle to give up his command the admiralty would regard it as little short of national misfortune Rojestvensky has proved to be genius as an organizer, and con- fidence is felt that he will show equal ability as a fighter. Should Rojestven- sky be compelled to leave the fleet the command will devolve on Rear Admiral Voelkersan, who is now with Rojest- vensky.
 Annoy, China, May 17.-It is believed that part of the Japanese fleet is talk ing up position below Formosa and that Admiral Togo has planned to fight the Russians south of Formosa.
 The Japanese get orders from this vii. & cir.ity at night.
