tain Their Strike.

At a largely attended meeting of Local
Union, No ~, Carriage and Wagon Work
ers. held last evening at 11O8 E street north
west. the members OF the organization

crease in the minimum scale of wages, and
the organization of Journeymen has done
all in its power to bring the strike to a
close by inviting the manufacturers to a
conference with that object In view. and.
Notwithstanding the bosses laid their invi-
tation upon the table at their meeting last
night indicating that the employers asso-
citation has reso we'd to enforce the open
shop principle In the District of Columbia
I'VE therefore pledge ourselves to stand by
the organization until the Manufacturers
Association shows a disposition or willing
ness to meet our chosen representatives In
conference for the purpose of settling the
controversy now pending"

Advices Received Of the Progress OF
the Dewey.

The Navy Department is Informed that
the dry dock Dewey, in tow Of the Glacier.
Caesar and Brutus, passed Sabang Island
Of Pulo Web, OF the western end of Su-
matra the 18th instant. making good
progress to her destination in the Philip
pines. When sighted. the expedition was
about 700 miles from Singapore and under
ordinary conditions should make that port
on the 10th instant. The big naval tug
Wompatuck, sent from Manila for the pur-
pose. awaits her there and will assist in
towing her the remainder of the distance to
the Philippines about 1920 miles,
1t is expected that the expedition will re-
main at Singapore about two weeks for the
benefit of the crews and to make needed
repairs. and start on the last leg Of the
long voyage from Baltimore. on the 18th or
9Th of July. with the idea of reaching
Manila about the 10Th of that month. II
that plan is safely executed, of which
there Is no longer any reasonable doubt
the cruise will have lasted about seven
months and will take rank as one OF the
most remarkable achievements in marine
history.

SECRETARY SHAW RETURNS
Admits Privately That the Iowa Sit
uation Does Not Look Well.

Secretary Shaw got back from Iowa to-
day and was at the cabinet meeting, which
listed much longer than usual. He had no
further explanation to make as to the tele-
grams that had passed between him and
others. He did not see fit to discuss the
Iowa situation. but 1t is said that he has
admitted to friends that 1t does not look
well for the republicans There Is such in
tense factional bitterness as to threaten
two state tickets. The factions have elected
nearly the same number of delegates to
the state convention which meets In Au-
gust and two conventions are by no means
impossible. Altogether the outlook is not
a good one.

Down With the Machine"

The Philadelphia Ledger this morning ad-
vises Pennsylvania democrats as follows:
"Unless the honest democratic citizens o.
this state devote themselves to some reso-
lutte machine smashing operations on
thclr own account. there Is small hope that
they can be arrayed to the best effect for
reform in November. Col. Guffey and his
Iieutenants may find that there Is a loose
cog in the machine which they are so
siduousIy oiling In preparation for the COM
iEg state convention: but aside from this
their determination to insert a plank de-
nouncing the state constabulary law and
demanding It's repeal would be index
of imbeclIity and an instance OF the blum
