THE UNBURIED DEAD
 IN NEW YORK MORGUES
4 Strike Holds the Undertaking Inc
 dustry at StandStiIL.

New York. May 1.-The strike of 1,5OO funeral drivers, ordered last night, tied up the undertaking busi- ness in New York city today so com pleteIy that no bodies remained un- buried.
 Hearses and carriages were driven away from churches; mourners were ,kept waiting all day in the homes of the dead, and in several instances non union drivers of hearses and carriages were attacked in the streets and police protection had to be called. In many cases, undertakers appealed to the board of health for permits to post pone burial, while others asked for permission to convey bodies to the cemetery on trucks or street cars under police protection.
 In every case, permission to use street cars for funeral vehicles was denied, but in cases where death had occurred from contagious diseases and immediate burial was required, under takers were forced to make use of their coffin wagons or such wagons as they were able to procure with drivers. The strikers declared tonight that their fight for S14 a week instead of SIP is on in earnest. Their employers the Coach Owners association, de- cided not to grant the increase.

That San Francisco Gan Get Along With
 Fewer Saloons
At Present There None and it is the Opinion of the Authorities Tbat There Should Never be Very Many.

San Francisco, May 11.-That the authorities here have no intention of loosening the tight grip on the reins which have held the liquor dealers in check since the city suffered its great disaster was made plain today by the emphatic declarations of Mayor Schmitz. When asked as to the likeli- hood of the saloons being allowed to open in the near future, the mayor not only denied that there was a possibil- ity of such action being taken, but added that all drinking places should be closed for an indefinite period. He attributed the remarkable absence of crime and the unexceptional order which has prevailed in the city since the confiagration to the fact that the edict against liquor selling had been rigidly enforced
 This stand of the mayor was empha- sized this afternoon. when the board of police commissioners met and unani- mously endorsed a suggestion made by the mayor that all saloon licenses now in existence be revoked. San Fran cisco is today a city without saloons. In discussing his sweeping order, the ! commissioners were a unit in voting the sentiment that the future welfare | of the city would be enhanced by a 1 fewer number of drinking places. 4 number of saloon proprietOrs have ] in the course of construction temporary i buildings in which they hope soon to be permitted to dispense liquors. The | commissioners have issued a warning i advising them that the number of sa- ! loon licenses to be issued in the future
 would be greatly curtailed, and that it
 was premature for them to incur any | expense in the way of temporary build l ing operations.
 ! Sheriff Mansfield of San Mateo coun- 1 ty will call upon Governor Pardee to i declare martial law in the county just
 across the line from this city.
 Despite the fact that the San Mated i supervisors have granted permits tC the divekeepers along the San Bruno
 road to open up their joints, the sher- if is resolved to permit nothing that will interfere with the reconstruction of greater San Francisco. Immedi- ateIy following the saloon closing order 1 of Mayor Schmitz, Sheriff Mansfield took action in his section, and the dis orderly houses were closed until the

THE PORTE
 GIVING WAY
The EgyptiOn EnCrOaChment
 Coming to an End
Pending an Actual Arrangement the British Naval Demonstrations Growing More henacing.

London, May 11.-DipIOmatic activ- ity seems to foreshadow an amicable settlement of the Labah difficulty. Both at London and COnstantinOple, Turkey is seeking to make an arrange ment.
 The grand Yizier was to have had an interview with Sir Nicholas O'Con- nor. British ambassador at Constantf- nople at II o'clock last night. The latest dispatches from COnstantinople state that Foreign Minister Tewhk Pasha, the grand vizier and other of the sultan's advisers, are yielding to the British demands. It is understood that the decision now rests with the sultan who is said to have ordered all documents on the subject translated into Arabic to enable him to pass upon them.
 Meanwhile, the British naval prep arations are maturing. A dispatch from Athens announces that the Med iterranean fleet, under Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, is ready for immediate departure. Prince Henry of Battenbergs cruiser squadron left Phalerum bay last night for an un- known destination. The great size of l the British fleet in Turkish waters is due to the probable necessity of pro- V1dlng landing parties should turkey continue obdurate.
 The nature of Lord Beresford's in structions is kept secret, but it is prac- tically certain that there will be no at tempt to force the Dardanelles or to make a demonstration before Con- stantinople. Rear Admiral Lambton's squadron at Port Said is in readiness to protect the Suez canal should the Turks attempt an advance along the
 Elarish route. He has several light l cruisers and torpedo boats.
 Wilfrid Blunt, who has thirty years intimate Knowledge of the Sinai penin-
 sula, has written to Foreign Minister
 Grey protesting against the dispatch oi
 the ultimatum to Turkey, on the ! ground that the case is much less
 strong than has been supposed and that
 an attempt to press the matter to a
 violent issue would be at the risk of g
 religious quarrel of indefinite magni- --ttoe-vith the whole body-ef che Mo-

 WITH THE DRAW
His Stand-Of with Herman at Los
 Angeles.

Los Angeles. May 11.-Kid Hermann of Chicago and Abe Attell of San Fran cisco fought twenty rounds to a draw tonight before the Pacific Athletic club. The fight was one of the cleverest and fastest ever seen in Los Angeles, At tell using all his cleverness and speed to avoid the sturdy rushing of Her mann. The cleverness and speed of AtteI was marvellous and was ali that saved him from defeat. Hermann forced the fighting from start to finish, but not until the last four or five rounds was he able to land on Attell effectively.
 In the fifteenth, sixteenth and sev- enteenth rounds Hermann had a big advantage and it seemed for a time that Attell would go down to defeat. He rallied in the nineteenth and twen- tieth, however, and Referee Eyton promptly called the battle a draw.
 The betting was 10 to on Hermann. There were about 15,OOO people present. Hermann was much dissatisfied with the decision, but Attell seemed entirely satisfied.

Baley'S Amendment for NOn-SuspeRsiOn of
 Commissions Rates Defeated
The Thing Happened by Practically Party Vote to all the Provisions Which Have Been Opposed by Senator Aldrich.

Washington. May 11.-SenatOI Bai- ley's non-suspension amendment, ap- plying to orders of the interstate com merce commission as covered by the railroad rate bill. which has occupied so much of the attention of the senate in connection with that bill, was today adversely disposed of by the decisive vote of 2S to 54, practically a party vote. The debate on the provision was limited to brief political speech by it's author, in which he said the president had changed his attitude on the ques- tion of maintaining rates fixed by the commission until the courts had reached a final decision.
 An amendment offered by Senator Rayner, confining the court review to constitutional questions, was also voted down, but not until after speeches had been made by Messrs. Rayner and Bai- ley in advocacy and Messrs. Allison, Fulton. Long and Cullom in opposition. The debate was in anticipation or the discussion that is expected to occur upon the Allison court review provis- ion tomorrow. Messrs. Rayner and Bailey contended that the Allison amendment authorizes the broadest possible court review and the Mary land senator urged that in it Senator Aldrich had achieved a signal victory Senator Fulton stated that he had frs suggested the language of the Allison provision.
 A number of other amendments. of fered in the main by democrats and by Senator LaFollette. were rejected. The votes were generally along party lines during the entire day, but the Wiscon-
