IPub1ishers. Press.1

New York, Dec. 23.-All of the ocean
liners which arrived at this port to-
day tell of experiencing most severe
weather on the way across. The
Cunard liner Umbria encountered the
worst weather of any of the big lin
ers. She ran into a heavy seas and
several gales, but the steamer suf-
fered damages. The Umbria brought
$3.50 sacks of mail and lis packages
of parcels post
The worst experience on the way
over was that of the British tramp
steamer Birkhall. The BirkhalI left
Hamburg on November Is, calling at
Shields on the 21st for coal. When
off the coast of Scotland the steamer
experienced heavy weather and was
obliged to stop at Stornoway for re
pairs to machinery. Across the North
Atlantic the steamer encountered fur
ious west and southwest gales with
tremendous seas, which constantly
flooded the decks, causing much dam
age. The supply of coal running short
the Birkhall was obliged to run for
st. John, n. F., in order to replenish
her bunkers. On December IL, Bern

suddenly of heart disease. His body
was buried at set.

As yet the Board of Works and the
City School Board have not met to
discuss the opening of the proposed
public play grounds near the Doran

of the West Side Improvement Asso-

1t has been stated that both the
boards are highly in favor of build

the same will not embarrasS the
city's finances TO a great extent. The
matter of establishing another school

The members of the West Side I'M

ious to secure the play grounds as
they are of beautifying the west river

the Doran bridge to the Main street
bridge, making beautiful park of
it.

THREATS OF A STRIKE.
Publishers 2ress.1

Chicago, Dec. 23.-Repr>sentative
of a majority of the "Privates" in the
Chicago fire department formulated a
demand of the city today for 10 per
cent increase in salaries, recognition
Of their union and twenty-four hours
off weekly for all members of the or
ganiZation.
The demand will be laid before the
city council at it's extra meeting, a
committee of two men from each of
the seventeen battallions having been
chosen as the unions spokesman.
The council regards the unioniza-
ton of the fire department as mimi
cal to discipline and the presentation
of the demand promises to precipi-
tate a bitter fight. There have been
no threats of a strike by the men be-
yond significant hints that fire de-
partment walkout would be attended
by serious consequences for the
city.
