STRIKE MOVEMENT IN FRANCE
GIVING MUCH CONCERN TO
THE GOVERNMENTS OF
CHIEF CITIES.
Government to Take Every Measure of
~Precaution, and Sixty Thousand
Troops Will Surround City by
Next Monday-lntention of Labor
Leaders to Cause Entire Suspen-
sion of All Industries for Fortnight

Paris, April 25.-The strike move
ment has assumed alarming proper
tons throughout all of France, and
fears are prevalent in the city. and
especially in commercial and official
circles, that a gigantic demonstration
will be made next Tuesday, May l,
and that the revolutionists will be in
control.
Paris MODS Something Fearful.
The government will take every
measure to prevent violence ant
~bloodshed, but a Paris mob is some
thing fearful to contemplate.
Troops Surround City.
The people are wrought up to 6
state of apprehension today. The gar
rison of Paris is being strengthened
and 10000 troops will surround the
city by next Monday.
Will Make Supreme Effort.
The labor organizations do not con-
ceal the fact that it is their intention
to make a supreme effort. Unfortun-
ately, their leaders are revolutionists,
although the responsible men of their
organizations insist that the coming
movement has a pacific object.
Public Has Fears.

a feeling of terror. Some of the re-

Salt Lake Tribune. These people will
be cared for, he states, until employ

all be put to work. The Japanese col

of her brother, William Plowman, at
Portland, Ore, and that the body
would be taken through this city on
train No. G tonight, en- route to
Lesuer, Mimi, for interment, the old
home of the family. Mr.. Plowman

Secretary MetcaIf on Ground.
This motning a member of the presi-
dents cabinet, Secretary Metcalf, took
charge of affairs here, superseding
Generals Funston and Greeley. He
comes as President R~oosevelt's person,

will be distributed the two and a half
millions voted by the government.
Free Transportation to End.
E~ighty-nine trainloads of refugees
had departed up to Sunday night over
the Southern Pacific. General free
transportation will be discontinued to-
morrow, an effort being made to keep
able-bodied men here. The friction
with the callow youths in the militia
continues, and the demand that they
be withdrawn quickly amounts almost
to a clamor.
Relief Fund Nineteen Millions.
The San Francisco relief fund up to
noon today makes a grand total of s19,-
000,0 900 and a little over. 1t is quite ev-
ident the contributions will go over the

of San Francisco have received only

SAN FRANCISCO CORONER DE.
CLARES GENERAL GREELEY'S
ESTIMATE OF YESTERDAY
FOREIGN TO FACT.
Number Given by Greeley Have
Been Buried and That Tenement
Districts Will Greatly swell List
Ruins of Buildings Being Dynamit-
ed and New Work Started.

San Francisco, Cal, April 25.-This
morning the coroner makes the al
nouncement that the number of dead in
the earthquake and fire must reach a
thousand, at least. The statement OF
General Greeley, made yesterday, that
the death list is under three hundred
is not borne out by the facts, the coro-
ner says.
Sorry to Dispute Greeley.
He officially announces that more
than that number have been buried,
and he feels sure that a thousand dead
will be found in the ruins of the tene-
ment district, where the congestion
was great and the list of known fatal
tiles long. The coroner regrets that he
cannot confirm General Greeley's state
ment, which he thinks probably COM
prised the list of names furnished thus
far of the known dead.
Ruins Mostly Blown Down.
More buildings were dynamited this
morning, and now the ruins left stand
ing in the business section of the city
are few. By night they will be all
down. All the men that can be found
are given work at advanced wages
clearing the debris, n next week ma
sans will begin the rebuilding of the
city.

The bridge and building department
is expected with a force of men in a

shut down for a day or two, as the
unloading of coal cannot be carried on

WEST OF THIS CITY.

taries Visit RucoIic Scene Today.

A wagonload of people were taken
to the Stickney ranch this morning to
watch the progress of the steam pillow,
and the load embraced more heavy
weights than most loads. There were
three presidents, a vice president, Mr..
Stickney himself, two druggists, a
mems furnisher, a reporter for The
Republican and the driver. Among the
guests of Mr.. Stickney to watch the
pillow were President w. H. Holiday
of the w. H. Holiday company, Pres
ident Frank Eggleston of the Eggle-
ston Drug company, President James
Christensen of the Gem City Grocery
company, Vice President Eli CrumrIue
of the Albany County National bank,
C. S. Greenbaum, Harry Cordiner and
Mr.. Stickney.
At One Operation.
The pillow is now working on the
Stickney ranch, about a mile and a
half from the city, near the experiment
station. The field comprises eighty
acre. and is being sown to field pease,
Mr.. Stickney having the seed sown by
hand, the pillow following, turning the
land over and covering the seed, a
heavy harrow following the plows and
putting the land in excellent shape.
All the seeds are covered. About sew
enty pounds Of pease are used TO the
acre, the plows turning from twenty
five to thirty acres a day and doing it
well. The plows are running about
four inches deep, the harrows being
dragged by the huge engine right after
the plows.
Conditions Are Favorable.
The land is a nice loan, looks yer!
fertile, plows as well as the best lane
in any country, and gives promise of {
! good return in fodder, the conditions
up to the present time being yer!
favorable.
The engine is drawing nine plows
and turning about fifteen feet of soil
travelling at a greater rate of speed
than a good team would go, and seem
ingly doing thorough work at. every
point.
Land Under Irrigation.
The land plowed will be irrigated
from the Pioneer canal, and Mr.. Stick,
ney can see no reason why be should
not harvest a larger return than the
outlay. The engine is consuming
about two tons of coal a day, keeps
four or five men busy, besides the mar
on the water wagon, and gives the
sewers all they can do. These worl

team and the other sits in the hin,

Plans for Next Year.
This fall the intention of Mr.. Stick
ney is to pillow the land the other way

deeper. This viii produce excellen
results, and bring the land to a higl
state of cultivation. AS it is. many

ship in Systematic Way-Train
Hurried Through State.

A special train of refugees from the
Pacific coast passed through the city
this morning, en- route to eastern
points, being helped by the railroad
company in the way of transportation
and the people along the line in the
way of provisions and supplies. The
train arrived here at S:45, and there
were a large number of citizens on the
platform. The passengers were told to
remain in the cars, and the generous
supply of stuff collected yesterday was
taken aboard, being distributed through
the cars, seemingly everybody being
supplied with enough to stay hunger
now and make a luncheon for the long
ride eastward.
Was Little Murmuring.
The people occupying the train ate
ravenously, showing the need of the
generous act of the people of Laramie,
and with hardly IN exception there
were grateful acknowledgements of
the provisions. One case came to the
attention of some Of the workers, a
woman refusing any assistance what
ever, claiming that she was able to buy,
and railing that she was not permitted
to leave the train. She was told that
there were no strings tied across the
aisle of the car, and anyway, she could
break the string if she chose"
Many Families Stricken.
That was only one case. Against
this there were scores who showed
their gratitude in thanks and tears
came to their eyes as they detailed the
horrors of the experience through
which they had gone in San Francisco.
Il am glad to get out" said n little
lady, evidently an actress, "even with
what little l did. l was alone in the
city and perhaps had not a dozen ac-
quaintances there, but the scenes of
sorrow were touching. Families were
broken up and many loved ones lie in
silent graves in the cemeteries in San
Francisco, thousands of miles from
their homes"
Train Taken Through.
The train remained here long enough
to give everyone a chance to be seen
by the executive committee of Laramie,
consisting of several scores of persons
whose hearts were filed with sympa-
thy. There were few murmurings and
the passengers seemed as happy as
possible under the circumstances.
