RAILROAD MEN
FEAR STRIKE
All Western Organizations
Demanding More Pay

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE labor situa-
ton here is causing western railroad
men great uneasiness. During the
present week the executive committees
/ general managers of this associa-
tion have held several conferences in
re-lI~. to labor conditions. All over the
west labor organizations are demand
ing higher wages and a switchmen's
strike is imminent on one road. AT
the last session of the committee of
presidents of nearly all the western
roads it was decided that there would
be no more Increases. The wage limit
has been reached for the present. Ger
eral managers have decided to fight
out the strike rather than to grant any
more demands.

After getting subscriptions for more
than 10000 of the city warrants with
which the work on the city hall was
to be continued. it was decided last
night that the warrants would be lille
gal, the city having already passed the
limit of its Indebtedness if the asser-
tions of the trust companies who
turned down the bonds are right The
committee selling the warrants has
quit work and asked to be relieved. In

which $4,000 will be necessary.
Friendly suit will be brought to test
the validity of the bonds.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The wheat pit
was the scene of another clash today,
between the bulls and bears, involving
millions of dollars in wheat. The fight
was between James Patton, for the
bulls and j. Ogden Armour, for the

wills.
In the great battle today he forced

WHITMAN PLAYS
GREAT FOOTBALL
MISSIONARIES DEFEAT SPOKANE
HIGH SCHOOL BY LARGE
SCORE-SLOW GAME.

In two twenty minute halves, the
Whitman eleven yesterday, admins
tered a merciless drubbing to the
much touted Spokane high school
team, wiping them up by the score of
20 to 0.
At no time in the game was the
Whitman goal in danger. The high
school team was simply outclaSsed ard
outplayed, and despite the fact that the
team has nearly the weight of the Mis-
siOnaries, Whitman ran up a larger
score than she has ever before been
able to do against the Spokane school.
The Spokane team is heavy bunch,
they We're but little under the weight
of their opponents, but their defeat
was not because they did not play ball,
it was because Whitman played bet
ter Spokane has fighting team and
they fought just as hard when the
game was hOpeleSsly lost as they did
at first, but they could not hold the
local collegians, who made their gains
almost at will

consistent gains than anyone else. He

game at half but was hurt and had to
be taken out. Speedy and gritty, his
work at half was great. But he was
no better than Borleske who ploughed
through the Spokane line for big gains
repeatedly. His spectacular return of
the ball for 55 yards through almost
kickoff, was the most brilliant bit
of work of the whole game. At end

HARTMAN WILL
DISMISS MANY
IRETRENcAiNG ORDER WILL MEAN
LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT TO
$1,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1.-THE
far-reaching effect Of Harriman's re-
trenching order is just beginning to be
appreciated. 1t probably means a loss
of employment to at least $4,000 men
and will be international in character,
affecting Mexico as well as thirteen
states.
The order also was applied to steam
ship lines such as the Pacific Mail
and Galveston New Orleans lines. The
company officials refuse to estimate
the exact number who will go, but say
every man that can be dispensed with
will lose his position This means high
as well as low employees.

OPERATION IS OVER
Presidents Daughter, Mrs. Longworth, Rallies and Lit
 tie Fear is Felt.

Washington, Dec. 12.--Dr, Rixey announces that the operation on Mrs. Longworth, daughter of the president, was successful in every way and that Mrs. Longworth is gradually recover ing.
 At the conclusion of the operation Mrs Longworth emerged from the in- fluence of the anaesthetic in very short time, and after exchanging a few words with Mrs Cowles, her aunt, and with her husband, she fell asleep naturally and enjoyed a nap lasting two hours. Her condition was such that President Roosevelt felt little ap- prehension and in fact did not hesi- tate to engage in his afternoon tennis game with Ambassador Jusserand, Clifford Plnchot and Assistant Attor- ney General Cooley.
 The preparations have been making for the operation for nearly month, it being known during that time that Mrs. Longworth was suffering from incipient inflammation of the vermi- form appendix About week ago preparations were begun for the oper- ation, which it was deemed expedient to undertake before she had suffered a loss of strength that would be sure to ensue from severe attack of ap- pendicitis.

Washington, Dec. 12-The first for nal outcome of the Central Amerl- can Peace conference, now in progress in this city and probably the most inn portant one, was made public to-day in the form of an abstract of the general treaty agreed upon last night by the delegates, providing for the establish ment of permanent court to settle all disputes which may arise in future be- tween the countries of Central Ameri- ca. The work of the conference in this respect acquires an importance quite apart from that which attaches to the conservation of peace in Central Amer ica, because the arrangement announce ed to-day if it should work satisfactor- fly will probably be adopted as the bas- is for the creation of the general in- ternational court contemplated in the declaration of the recent Hague con- ference.
