TOday's Telegraphic News
Situation in Chicago.

Chicago, May S.-Pickles were never
more thoroughly mixed than the Chi
cago strike situation today-the thiI
tenth day of the teamsters' trouble.
The Chicago Federation of Labor at
their regular Sunday meeting, instead Of
making some anticipated peace moves,
adopted resolutions that will not add
balm to the wounded feelings OF the en-
ployers. First the federation declared
against those banks that contribute to
the $50, 900 funds in aid of the employ
ers. withdrawing labor union funds,
official and private, said to aggregate
5000, 900. Then the indictment of the
president and members of the Employ
ers' Teaming Company was asked for,
seeking to intimidate Arthur Dixon and
others and threatening to injure the
business of other established transfer
companies. These companies, five N
number, have been endeavOring to steer
clear of the rocks on both sides Of the
strike channel. Efforts on the part of
the employers have failed to enlist
them and the allegation is made that
the employers are eudeavOring to ruin
their business by abrogating contracts.
A second peace move, that in behalf OF
labor, when it appealed to Governor
Deneen to appoint committee OF three,
headed by the Governor himself, to arbi-
trate the strike difficulties, is not likely
to be productive. The Governor diplo-
maticaIly acknowledged receipt of the
communication. He is not inclined to
make a motion in this direction unless a
request comes from both sides. The
only request from the employers has
been suggestion that State troops be
held in readiness
There was lull in strike news yes
.erday, but the PROBABILITIES became APP
parent this morning. when it was declared
that the big companies were preparing
to resume their regular operations. They
have asked the police for protection for
I 200 wagons which they expect to send
out. The Employers leaning Company
anticipated the use of 700 wagons. As
sistant Chief of Police Schuettler will
take personal command of the police
today. He intimates that further DIAL
lance by the "innOcent bystander' will
not be tolerated.
Greatly reduced guarded wagons were
sent out this morning with little or no
interference in the early hours. Two
officers were only assigned to each
wagon.

lutely that he knew Mrs. Gray or that
he was connected with her case in any
way.

Mr.. Stoneham. He expressed ignorance
of the suicide and declared that reporters
brought him the first news he had re-
ceiyed of the tragedy.
''She may have been customer Of
our firm and in that way may have ac-
quired my address," Mr. Stoneham said.
1.-THE name is not at all familiar to me,
however, and | do not think we had
such person in New Orleans as Gus,
toner"

held quietly yesterday at Kensico Gene
terry. The coffin was followed to the
grave by Mrs. Grace Sanford and Mr..
Maxwell, manager Of the Standard

al OF japanese irritation against France,
together with the pessimistic political
article to the Times and the uncertainties
regarding the impending iortnightly set

situation is the Paris selling of japanese
bonds which are down about all around.

eign Minister Delcasse and DR.. Montono,
the japanese Minister to France. 1t is

thence which the japanese feel with
France over the alleged breaches of neu-
trality in Chinese waters. There is n
feeling here that crisis is rapidly aP-
preaching.

IL vetoing the bill deprlving Alder
men of the power TO grant franchises
Mayor Mcclellan, of New York, last
week made the direct charge that rep
resentatives of the Pennsylvania Rail
rad had threatened him if he did not
LET the bill pass. Later he mentioned
Edward NJ. Shepard and Franklin Bart
lett as the spokesmen of the great cor
poration. saying that they had told him
that the legislature would be held in
session until the bill was repassed II
vetoed. The MayOrsaid that the time
had come when the corporation when
has 50 long dominated the States OF
PENNSYLVANIA and New Jersey should be
shown that it could not control the state
of New York. He regarded 1t as a
dutv to resist such insOlence, while DIS
claiming any desire to stir up ieelngs
against corporations as such. Later,
the Assembly passed this measure over
the MAYORS veto by large majority
Now Mayor Mcclellan knows the power
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and he
should have known it before, for IN
large measure it controls the Congress OF
the United States and he was but few
wears ago a member of that body.

THE DANGER to European peace IN

10 the governments of all the great
movers The questions which the dlpfo-
matte world is considering are Is the
Kaiser deliberately seeking quarrel, or
has he definite object in view which he
- determined to accomplish even at the

cute in regard to Morocco a mere pre-
text. or is Germany seriously determined
70 nrevent the execution of the real
nnrnose of the Morocco agreement
War if il should come, would almost
certainly see France and England to the
same camp. Germany might easily prove
"a no more than a military match Tor
France even with such help as Great
Rritain would be able TO give, but the
German navy could moi stand against
,be combined British and French Heels
II is generally recognized that the Ger
man Emperor is playing deePgame Tor
some great stake. Nobody can say as
vet with confidence what that stake IS
The next development will perhaps be
disclosed in Chancellor Won Buelow
spcech in the Rechstag next wednesday
or by the Kaiser himself at Graveio'le
on the following day. There was acute
alarm Saturday, due chiefly to renewed
reports that NJ. Delcasse, the french
Ministers of Foreign Affairs, would soon
retire. These are emphatIcally dehieu
Yesterday. The financial world continues
to be seriously affected by the political
crisis. The fall of consOls below 30
when business conditions were most
favorable is Of serious significance.

Situation in the Caucasus.

st. Petersburg, May 8.-RepOrts from
the Caucasus state that the soldiers in
that region are becoming unruly and the
cause oftheir almost open rebellion is said
to be the work of reyolulionist agitatOrs.
Literature of an incendiary nature has
been circulated among the troops by the
reyolutionists, and this has melted the
soldiers to rebel against the authority of
their officers. Many instances are report
ed where men have refused to obey com
mands and have openly insulted their
superiors. Reports received from Man
churia show that there is trouble in the
army at the front. The officers are the
ones affected there, however. Report
has ii that General Linevitch has dis
covered that officers have volunteered to
assist the revolutionary movement at
home for the purpose of setting up
representative government All these Of
fcers who are accused of having offered
their assistance will be court martialled.
