HIS CONFIRMATION RESCINDED.
II. N. Smith VIII Not he Commissioner Or
Corporation Until GARFIELD Netires.

, WAsHINoTo Dec. 10. The Senate has
rescinded its action last week in confirming
the nomination OF Herbert KNOX Smith
to be Commissioners Of Corporations in
the Department OF Commerce and Labor,
and it has been restored to the Executive
calendar. His nomination was subject 70
the same objection az those of Mr.. Cortelyou
to be Secretary Of the Treasury, George
Won l.. Myer to be Postmaster General
and James r. Garfield to be Secretary
of the Interior-namely, that no vacancies
exist in those offices, and no time was men
toned when they would occur. The Presi-
dent met these objections by resu5mitting
the names Of the Cabinet members, to take
effect on March 4, when Secretaries Shaw
and Hitchcock will retire, and these NOM
nations will be confirmed after the holiday
recess.
Mr.. Smiths nomination slipped through
unnoticed, and it therefore became neces-
sary to recall it, 40 that another nomination
can be sent in, to take effect on the day
Mr.. Garfield vacates the Office OF Com
missioner Of Corporations.

Unless the railroads now in controversy

crease Of 5 cents an hour q general strikes

This ultimatum was sent last evening 10 ]

Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, who's
arrived here yesterday from Cleveland. I
He vent into conference at once with the =
local committees Of the men and then de-
cided on the strike unless the demands
were granted by Saturday. The ultimaturn !
was sent to the general managers OF these
roads: Central Railroad OF New Jersey. I
Erie. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
Lehigh Valley, Long Island, Baltimore and
Ohio and Staten Island. Il says:
Again referring to the negotiations between
yourself and the committee representa- g \
your employees, yardmen in the New York ?
Harbor district, we respectfully beg to advise
you that the 4 cents an hour increase offered
by your company is not acceptable. as . settle

tral for s cents an hour increase. Your yard-
men employed in the New York Harbor dis
trict and those employed by the New Yort
Central have heretofore been on an equal
basis as regards the rate OF pay per hour.
We believe this equality should still continue
TO exist.
We beg to advise you that unless ths in
crease granted by the New York Central
namely, 8 cents per hour. effective December
|. 1905. is conceded by your company on or be-
fore December %, 1908. all members OF the
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen employed
in your yards in the harbor district will con-
slider your failEe to concede the rate az q
ref usal to deal as fairly with your men a. the
road mentioned above. and will at once WITH
draw from your service.
The strike vote was taken a week ago.
but the ultimatum was unexpected, especi-
ally in view OF the action of the engineers.
| iremen and conductors in deciding not to
strike in sympathy. The men in these
three branches made agreements with
the railroads several weeks g by which
their wages were increased.
A strike will cause endless confusion at
| the yards, which are choked up with cars
piled with merchandise owing TO the Christ
mas trade.
Grand Master Morrisey Of the trainmen
is a member Of the national executive CON-
mittee of the Civic Federation which has
been the Intermediary in a number OF
strikes which were settled n In cases
where strikes were averted. +. D. Under
wood. president of the Erie Railroad, IL
also a member Of the same COMMITTEES, and
when the firemen on that system threatened
to go on strike there was a movement to
enlist the services Of the federation as
an Intermediary. A settlement was ef-
feoted in that case, however. II was
thought last evening that Grand Master
Morrisey deputed the fourth grand master
to act in his place because he himself is in
the Civic Federation.

CHIN4MAN SHOT MORTALITY.
Wounded by One OF a Sang OF Thieves Who
Tried a HOldup on Him.

Yee Lee. a Chinese la~undryman at 4I2
West Fifty-second street, was told by a
tall white man to give up the contents of
his cash drawer last night. zee yelled,
and his yellow partner, Lok Wing, ran'out
from the boiler room with a tatiron. The
stranger showed fight and pulled a gun,
but the two laundrymen handled him with
out trouble, though the struggle spoiled
the laundry packages that were stacked
about. They rushed the stranger out upon
the sidewalk where there was more room
and started to beat him.
The Cinnamon did not notice two friends
OF the intruder. who ran across from the
other side Of the street, where they had
been keeping watch for the police. The
two attacked the Cinnamon. In the mixup
hat followed the robber with the gun got
his hand free and fired n shot. IL hit
Yee Lee in the breast. The three white
men ran with a crowd following them east
ward to Ninth avenue. They turned up
town for a block and ran down Fifty-third
street toward Eighth avenue, where they
got away.
An ambulance from Roosevelt Hospital,
with DIR. Barker in charge, attended the
wounded Chinaman. Seeing that the
wound was serious the surgeon hurried
him 10 the hospital, and he was operated
on As soon a. he reached there. It was said
his recovery was doubtful.
The case il one of several attempts to rob
Cinnamon in this part OF the city. Only a
few hours before Charley Fling, whose
laundry is at 4O3 West Fifty-third street,
ran into the West Forty-seventh street
police station holding up a badly cut hand.
He said that a man came into his shop and
asked for all his money. When Fling re-
fused to deliver IL the intruder slashed at
him with a knife, which he drew out OF
his pocket.
The police Of the West Forty-seventh
street station believe that the same gang
are working these holdups. The descrip-
ton of the man who attacked Charley
Fling tallies with hat of the man who shot
zee Lee. He also had a confederate, a
shorter man, who may have been one OF
the two companions who helped in the
later holdup.
