NEW YORK, March s.-No serious dis
order has vet occurred in the strike OF
5000 employees of the elevated and sub
way lines of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company. but manifestations OF
discomfort on the mart OF gathering
crowds of strikers are regarded as orni-
nous.
A south bound elevated train. bear
ing United States mail, came to sud
den halt at 125th steet and Third avenue
this morning, and was quickly surround
ed by several hundred yelling and 1eer-
ing men. The guards, fearing for their
lives. deserted their posts Some SAID
that the train was halted by the ineom-
petence of the motorman, while others
intir1ated that the strikers could clearly
explain how the train was stopped. The
postof1ice inspector on board asked sew
eral policemen to act as guards. which
they did. and the train moved away,
while the crowd yelled itself hoarse.

a crowd of 100 men. He said that the

MANY CALL At WHITE HOUSE

IA steady stream of conglomerate hu-
manity poured in and out at the White
House all morning. Hundreds of callers
were turned away IN their attempt to
see the President.
In the mob were big chiefs from the
Sioux tribe, prominent German univers-
ty graduates. headed by DR.. Wiley,
Mormons from Utah and Idaho, a dele

States. boarding school girls from every

Many callers were received by the
President. More were turned away at
the doors
Among the disappointed were the
Sioux chieftains, who said that Sena-
tor Lodge had told them to go to the
White House before 12 o'clock 1t was
not quite II O'Clock when they showed
up a round dozen, elaborately befeath-
cred and otherwise adorned, carrying
pipes of peace and dignified eounte-
, nances, and followed by q curious crowd
of sightseers. The Interpreter who ac-
companied them told their errand to
! Policeman Kemp, who stood at the
| doorway.
| Throwing few cultural chunks of
conversation at the biggest chief in the
party, the interpreter received from the
solemn-looking brave a much-soiled let
| ter which the latter drew from a secret
! ing~place under his gaudy blanket.
| This was sent to Major I.oeffier the
| Presidents doorkeeper. The reply came
| back that the aboriginal Americans
would first hav@ to see Indian Commits

Red Men File Out.
whereupon the Interpreter got rid of
more tongue-twisting syllabIes, which
being translated. meant:
| Back to the Indian office and loop the
Leupp.'
Gravely the chiefs turned They tuck

| or elsewhere out OF sight, gave an extra
shake to their feathered bonnets, and
staIked solemnly out of the White House

that trailed behind them when they

Good Advice.

The attempts of clerks to make their
own present business superior to the
wishes and the business OF possible
customers is sometimes laughable
sometimes exasperating and too otter
damaging to teh interests of the stores
In which they work. II Is perfectly
proper that clerks should make them
selves think that they are awfully busy
and can hardly find the time to do all
the work that is spread before them
but when the said clerks carry theit
activity to the point where It is made
paramount to the business of custom
ers. II Is time for them to quit off short
and begin to see business from din
erent standpoint, There are a good
many very busy clerks who have been
offenders In this matter and there are
a good many others who have tend
ency in that direction,-The Trades

Dick Meyer, the professional diver,

Effort to be Made 10 Induce Con-
sress TO Dig Channel.
ARE NEEDED
The Cost Of Building Through the Dry
Straits Will Be Considerable Less,
Safer TO Navigation and Of
Greater Benefit.

An effort will be made by persons In.
terested In the Alaska fisheries TO In
duce the governemnt OF the United
States to make some needed improve
ments that win be OF benefit TO the
fishing industry, An investigation dis.
closes the fact that the most beneficial
improvement that can be made and
that vii benefit the largest number OF
persons interested. viii be the digging
OF channel through the Dry straight.
There are many reasons why this
improvement should be made, II is a
sand channel and will require no blast
ing, hence can be done at less expense,
A jetty should be built and all the ma
terlals necessary are close at hand. II
will shorten the distance between Seat
tie and Skagway ut least Is miles. II
will be OF great benefit TO Wrangel by
giving It better steamboat service and
will build up the great Stiekeen river,
one OF the most important in the terri
tory.
II has been suggested that 2O-foot
channel be built through the wrange
narrows. but an examination shows the
project not feasible and very expensive
and II would always be dangerous to
shipping. while channel through the
Dry straights will at all times and
under al conditions be absolutely safe
by being almost straight and nothing
but sand to contend with. The channel
can be deepened at any time at very
little expense. Not only will the build
ing of channel at the other place sug-
gested be expensive. but the benefit de-
rived would not be commensurate with
the cost. A large majority Of the peo-
pie interested In Alaska are In favor
OF the proposed channel through the
Dry strait, more particularly on account
OF the cheapness and the natural bene-
fits to be derived.

and remote from the place where she
was last seen and not in the direction
of the store room where she would
have been supposed to be going.
In the event that Mrs, Saylor did go

the body did not sink. Al high water

wharf. and the pressure is 1855 pounds

CURED at Asa a. m, The depth at low
water was only ~ feet. Search for the
body has been made at the point where
'fioaters" usually come ashore. but
there is no trace of the body as yet.
Several people have hazarded the
opinion that Mrs. Saylor is not drowned
but that she left Skamokawa with the
idea of conveying the accidental death
theory. It is pointed out that to have
drowned she must have made the gross
est mistake as to direction, and must
have been very careless. She wore
diamonds to the amount of several
hundred dollars, and II is known that
woman took the morning boat down
from Skamockawa. So little attention
however. was paid to her appearance,
that the boat crew cannot say whethrr
it was Mrs. Saylor not.
A reward of s1OO has been offered for
the recovery of the body II she was
drowned.
Mrs. Saylor was only married last
July. and is not known to have had
any differences with her husband, NJ
P. Saylor nor is she known to have
had any male connections who would
have induced her to run away from
home. The case is, therefore, a mys-
terry.
