THE CHICAGO STRIKE
MAYOR UNsuccEssFuL IN TRYING FOR c1sACE.
Employes Decline to Meet Labor Lead CTS and Duane Was Compelled. to See the Factions
 separate1v.>

"
 Chicago. April ls.--Mayor Edward F. Dufine today again endeavored to effect peace between the contending sides in the present labor trouble in Chicago but at the end of the day. after several conferences with the labor leaders and representatives of the employers, the situation was unchanged. Mayor Dunne tonight, however, was more hopeful of peace as the result of his efforts and the peace negotiations will be continued tomorrow. The labor leaders declared today that they were willing to meet the employers but the latter declined the proposed confer ence and Mayor Dunne was forced to meet the opposing elements separate ly.
 While the peace negotiations were in progress today Montgomery Ward and Company continued to make their de- liveries with non-union teamsters. The service was interrupted however. by the strikers and their sympathizers who blocked the streets, making it al- most an fmpossibility for the caravans under the protection of platoons of po- lice to pass through the streets. In several instances the crowds became so demonstrative that 1t was necessary for the police to use their clubs and sev- eral of the disturbers were nurt in the clashes with the bluecoats. Dur ing one of the attacks on the strike breakers three of the union men were seriously hurt and 1t was necessary for the police to make several arrests before the crowd could be dispersed Should the efforts of Mayor Dunne to bring about an amicable settlement of the difficulty fail, 1t Is said tonight that the employers will form team ing company of their own In order to carry on their business should the strike spread.
 The new concern, 1t is asserted, will include most of the business firms which are threatened by spread of the strike.

 rs1aeed fin Fo1a.


 Philadelphia, April 13.-The Aheri- can Philosophical Society held two sessions today during which eighteen papers of scientific nature were read. pr. Henry W. Vile of Washington, presented a paper, the subject of which was "the effects upon metabolism of preservatives added to food"
 years he had studied the various effects produced on health and digestion by tue addition of preservatives to food products. The substances studied were boric acid. borax, salicylio acid, sui- phuric acid, pulphrite, benzoic acid, benzoates and copper sulphate. The general effect of borax and boric acid was first to diminish the body's weight and. second, to diminish the avidity of the appetite.

Selma, Apfll t3.
 The City Council of the present ad- ministration has held its last regular monthly meeting. Last night 1t paved the way for the new Council which will begin its administration of Sel- ma affairs next month.
 Last nights meeting of what may now be called "the old CounciI' will go down on pages of Selma history. It went on record for the future vel fare and prosperity of Selma. It laid the way for one of the greatest ac- complishments yet known to Selma In the way of civic, economic and neces- sary improvement. It paved the way for the establishment of paid lire department.
 In the eye of the scrutinizing outer world city Is not city until It mas a paid fire department-until 1t be- comes able in more than one sense of the word to say something in the mat ter of the command of its own insu- rance rates. Nor does the scrutiniz- ing outer world regard city any thing like adequately protected from disaster when 1t has only a volunteer fire department.
 Hereafter the scrutinizing outer world will call Selma a city, because Seln1a's "old Council has created pala fire department which will go into effect May 1, when the new Coun- cil becomes the governing body of the city. The "old Council' and Mayor Atkins have created the paid ire de- partment. The new Council and May or Atkins will see that the paid fire department is success. The "old Council" and Mayor Atkins should get the credit for one of the greatest strides ever taken by selma Tn the way of improvement.
 The citizens had much to do with 1t. They co-operatcd with Mayor Atkins and the, "old Council' and when the efforts of the latter met with adver- sity and it appeared that after all Selma would have to wait awhile Ter it's paid fire department the business men came to the rescue. They said they would meet what the city proper would have a hard time In meeting in the way of guarantee, and on the strength of their contribution or 3D. 900 when necessary the paid fire de- partment for 1905, beginning May l, was made possibility.
 Then the "old Council took further steps. After sending Mayor Atkins and Councilman Norris to Atlanta, Ga, to study methods of paid fire 6e- partments and investigate insurance rates of the Southeastern TarlH AsSo- citation. the "oId Council appointed a committee to frame an ordinance which would create the paid hre de- partment. The committee went to work, and it worked after hours
 Last night the ordinance was sup mitted to the Council and when d few alterations and improvement are made in it it will be put before the present Council again for ratification. A special meeting will be called for that purpose, and that special meeting will be the last the present CounciI will hold Some of 1t will then retire to private life.

DoWIE LEADERS STRICKEN.
Strange MaIady Affects People Of Zion
City.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Sickness has
stricken the leaders of elijah" Dow.
les Zion, the prophet himself being a
victim of stomach trouble which has
become practically chronic and which
prevents the untiring expenditure of
energy which it was his won't to make
in addressing his audience. Among
the afflicted are Or. Dowie, Mrs.
Dowis, Carl Stern, Chief of police, and
Mrs. Speicher, wife of the overseer.
Besides these one fifth of the residents
Of Zion are said to be suffering from
strange malady which shows symp-
toms similar to grip. It is strange to
the sufferers at least, and there is not
a physician there to make diagnosis.
Chief of Police Setrn is so desperate
ly ill that he was carried on cot to
the station at Zion City and there put
in q special car and started for a life
and death trip to Nassau, Bahama is
lands. While the police chief lay in
the car, the under shepherds of Dowie
stood by the cot and offered prayer.
Regarding the reports of a revolt
against the Dowie, good authority
says Dowie has shocked many of his
older followers. His "apostleship" is
too much for them. Many of them are
keeping up their membership only until
they can dispose of their holdings in
Zion.
