 York. < New York. July 12---All the neck tie industries of the city are still tied up in a hard knot, for conferences held last night between the strikers and the contractors failed to smooth out the situation.
 One thousand of the girl tie makers were in and out of Jefferson Hall all day. Among them there walked as heroine Miss Fannie Pepper. for slar alleged to have been bestowed upo1 her by one Of the bosses caused all the trouble.

Commerce Communication Listens to
 Further Testimony. <. washington. July 1z.--The interstate commerce commission today heard fur ther testimony In its investigation of oil industry and practices of the alleged monopoly. The procAedings were had under the Gillespie Tillman resolution adopted by, the last session of con- eress.
 John T. Marchand for the commis- sion and c. D. Chamberlain, secreta- ry of the National Petroleum associa- tion directed thhe inquiry R. ". Culft of Baltimore, represented the Standard of Pittsburg the Pennsylvania raii- road.
 The first witness was George I. Peck. general manager of the Penn- sylyania lines west of Pittsburg, who was examined concerning the contract that the road had with the Galena oil Company of Franklin, Pa, for the lu- brication of rolling stock.
 It was brought out that the Western lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad by contract pay 8 1-3 cents per thousand miles for passenger coaches and b.9 cents for freight cars per thousand miles This was said to amount to only about one-third of the invoice price for lubricating oil. which Is 2I B cents per Edfiuug WuAClL OtAACh AoAAtN0 were said to pay. The cost to his lines. MT. Peck said. was about ten cents per gallon and the cost in the open market would have been about 12.9s cents per gallon. The saving to his road therefore was shown to be little more than two cents gallon. Under the contract s1.s0 per thousand miles is paid for the fabrication of To- comotives which Mir Peck said is only about one half the amount 1t cost to Iubricate engines before the contract was made.
 MT. Peck testified that the terms of the contract are now in operation though the contract is expired March 1, 1908, and could not be renewed be- cause vitiated by the Pennsyivania Railroad rule against issuing free transportation. Passes to limited number of employees of the Galena OH Company had formed a portion of the compension under the contract. The

 There would be no reductions in In dia under the proposed new arrange r1ents. Fifty-two battallions will be maintained there as at present but the colonies hereafter will have twenty Ave instead of thirty-two battaiions and Great Britain eeventy-oue fn- etead of tho present eeventy-two.
 Mir. Haldane said tho expeditionary force would be so arranged that 1t could be expanded or reduced so that If other nations reduced their forces Great Britain would be in a position to do the same without impairing the ehlciency of the army He wished he could see the day when the curse of war would no longer exist but until that came the only thing to be done was to see that every penny on the army was spent in obtaining fighting eff1ciency.
 The governments principle was to terrftorialise the militia. make closer its connection with It's regular army, place 1t in better position as to train- ing, raise It's strength and make 1t more efficient. Several experiments as to the framing of the militia artil- lery must disappear. giving place to regular artillery.
 The volunteers would be required to defend the naval bases and repel raid If hostile forces up to 10000 men and would be second reserve or an expansion of the regular army in time of need.
 { As to .he expansion of the regular forces 1t was needed and should be provided but the war secretary did not believe compulsory service would be of the slightest avail for that pur- pose. The governments plan of prep aration was for defense and not for aggression. It must take years to fuf- i'll 1t. This was mere beginning and he hoped to set about 1t immediately

The City Council at it's meeting last
 night approved the contract entered into
 by the Bond Trustees with R. c. Cur

 ton of the sewerage system for $5V.-
 GOO, and also the contract with T :.
 Chalkley Hatton as chief engineer of
 the improvement work, his competasa- tion to be per cent. of the amount of
 money expended.
 It was expected that the work of laying the sewers would commence at once, but the Council decided that 1t shall rot commence before october l, as 1t is feared the digging tip of the streets will cause sickness. There was much discussion over the matter, the Mayor taking the position that it would not affSst the health. and that to wait until October for the commencement would greatly delay the work. The Council. however. ccnsidered the health Of the popuiace first. and ordered that no excavations be made before tne above date. though the contractor IS at liberty to commence work on the surface drainage in tile outskirts and get material on hand.
 Mayor Bliss also submitted his an- nual report to the Council. It showed that the total revenues derived were s17o.sf5, of which $t4S.S0 had been ap- propriatsd. He stated that improve rnerlts had been made in every depart ment of the city, especially the Are de- partmsnt, which Is now fully equipped | and that from reports of the health officer the city is now in healthy and sanitary condition.

Pensacola. Fla, July 12.-(spectaL) --Another inspection of the cold stor- age plants of the Swift.

 Before taking any steps they tele- phoned to City Health otfieer Fierponi and he visited the place, and after viewing the meat ordered 1t confscated and afidavfts made against the mana ger. It Is asainst the city ordinances for the packing houses to have tainted or sp0iIed meats in cold storage. but they are required to dispose of 1t as room as they find It is unit to be mar keted.
 Carroll was one of the managers ar rested q month since. He was fined sloO and costs by Recorder Laney, and rt that time all packing houses were warned by the court not to again vio- late the law.

A communication recently published
in the Advertiser was referred to by
the president, public drinking foun-
tains being the subject matter. She
explained that for twenty years the
Union had been trying to establish sucn
fountains in Honolulu but insurmount-
able obstacles had been met with and
the plan abandoned. A fountain with
out any cup had been proposed two
years ago but had to be given up.
A discussion of the matter resulted
in the meeting expressing themselves
in favor of making another try and
Mrs. Carleton was appointed a commit
tee of one to interview the members of
the Board of Health in the matter.
Mrs. Carleton wanted to know If
there was not some way of checking
the restaurant annex saloon business
She knew that the political pot was
boiling and thought that now was the
time for the ladies to exert themselves
and work for temperance candidates
for this years election. The work of
the w. c. 7. U. must in the end be
given over to the men if it was to be-
come crystallized into law and this
meant the cooperation of the ladies
with the politicians who could and
would help them.
The president thought that the first
thing the ladies should do was to be-
come familiar with the existing liquor
laws so as to be able to handle the mat
ter intelligently and then to work for
the legislation they wanted.
Mrs. Whitney said she regretted to
see that the Advertiser devoted so
much space to the accounts of prize

The Advertiser was the leading paper
in the city, the one taken by all the
people into their homes and she did not
think that the mothers and daughters
liked to see the half-naked fighters pic
tured. nor to read about their disgust
ing doings. The w. c. T. u. had al
ways found the Advertiser willing to
help them and publish their reports and
communications, but as the leading pa

Miss Blunt moved that the atten-
ton of the publishers should be drawn

ment made of the appreciation of the

| This was carried.
| The enrolment of 1900 children in
! the Loyal Temperance Legion was re-
ported by Miss Blunt, who asked for
; badges for others. She asked that the
! ladies watch for and encourage the boys
with the blue ribbons. She asked for
| the authority of the Union to organize
! Legions during the next month and
suggested that when the next Legisla-

! of all the blue ribbon children to show

and impress them with the necessity of
