San Francisco. June 22-The tele-
graph operators employed by the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies left their keys at 1880
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and
walked out of the offices. Three
short blasts from a police whistle
gave the signal, and at the sound the
GENERATORS arose from the tables, put
on their coats and quit their jobs.
Both the Postal and Western
Union main San Francisco offices are
located close together in the Ferry
building. Since the fire the main
relay office of the Western Union mas
been at West Oakland, where, until
yesterday afternoon, about lou men
and women were employed. In lhe
San Francisco offices about 20 oper-
ators were employed, and at OUTSIDE
branches about 20 more.
The Postal company had 60 oper-
ators in it's main San Francisco OIL
flee. Employees of both companies
with the exception of one in each OIL
flee. stopped work at the signal.
The operators in San Francisco
and Oakland were dissatisfied with
the letter from President Clowry, OF
the Western Union, published Thurs
day, and insisted that their demands
for a 25 per cent increase In wages
should be granted.
President Small. of the CONNER,
.cial Telegraphers' union, arrived
here Thursday, and after considering
the situation, ordered the strike un-
less the increase was granted. Both
the Western Union and the Postal OF
ficials decline to grant the increase
or to consult with the union. Ihev
expressed their willingness to con-
slider and act upon any grievances
presented by their employees as maj
viduals, but this has not satlsfied the
men, and the walkout resulted.

Metcaif to Visit Coast.

Washington, June 20. Secretary
Metcalf will leave Washington June 20
for San Francisco, where he intends to
study conditions in shipyards with spe-
cial reference to naval construction.
The fact that existing labor conditions
on the Pacific coast and the high price
of material make it impossible for ship
builders there to compete for govern
ment contracts with Eastern shipyards
has given serious concern to the naval
general board.

CHANGE OF POSTS.
General Moving of Foreign Repre-
sentatives of Uncle Sam.

Washington, June 22.-Feeling that
his usefulness as American consul at
San Salvador has been impaired, the
State department has decided to find
another post for John Jenkins. This
office became embroiled in the quarrel
between Nicaragua and Salvador.
Samuel E. Magill, at present Ameri-
can consul and Tampico, Mexico, will
be trasferred to San Salvador, where
Mr.. Jenkins has been stationed since
1899. The appointment of Percival
Dodge, at present secretary of the Amer
lean embassy at Toxic, Japan, to fill
the new post of minister to Guatemala,
leaves vacancy at Toxic, which will
probably be filled by the transfer OF
Peter Augustus Jay from the American
embassy at Constantinople.
This change in turn will afford an
opportunity for the State department to
reward Philip M. Brown, at present
secretary of the American legation at
Guatemala and Honduras, for services
rendered in bringing about the termin-
alton of the war between Salvador and
Nicara qua,

VOTE CANAL LEVY.
Assessment to Dig Lake Washington
Waterway Carries.

Seattle, Wash. June 19.-The King
county board OF commissioners this
afternoon granted the petition of the
Lake Washington canal enthusiasts to
form 81 ,075, 900 assessment district
to construct the waterway between
Puget sound and Lakes Union and
Washington. A petition will immedi-
ately be filed in the Federal court for
the appointment of board of assessors
to levy an assessment upon benefited
property.
This board will number IL persons
and tenative district extending from
the Snohomish county line to point
three miles south of Kent has been ap-
proved. This would include the entire
city of Seattle and half of the valley
between Seattle and Tacoma in the area
adjudged to be benefited by the canal.
The valley benefit consists largely in a
removal of danger from damage by
foods, with the improvement in real
estate values from the opening of the
canal as secondary consideration.
By the action of the county commits
sioners approval is given to the plan OF
raising $!,O00,0O0 by special assess
ment up to 10 mills for the construc-
ton of a canal. The extra $500 is
needed for Office work and the expenses
of the commission.
The canal will be a temporary affair,
the single lock in Shilshole bay being
the only piece of concrete work. 1t is
believed by the property owners in the
Lakes Union and Washington district
that the opening of waterway between
the sound and the lakes will be fol-
lowed by government control and inn

HUNGATE THE WINNER.
Takes First Prize for Pointers Al

are getting away with more than their
share of prizes. The judging COM
menced this morning at 10 O'Clock and
up until press time but a small por-
ton of the CANNES had been judged.
BY far the greatest surprise in the

veloped is the awarding of first place
in the pointer class to Otis Hungate OF
Topeka. His pointer, Mint Julep,
which is but a little over a year old,
was given first place in the judging
ever several other dogs which have
won high places in other events or this

Julep' was a five hundred dollar dog.
Charles Samson won first and second
places In the wolf hound class with
his hound Gear" Mrs. c. E. Jewell $

class.
For winning first place in the pointer
class Otis Hungate wins a cup which

A GENERAL WAR.
Indications That All Central America
VIII Be Involved.

Washington, March Mexico and
the United States are using their kind
ly offices in an attempt to effect a set
Element of the trouble which threatens
to involve all five of the Central Ameri-
can republics in war. Mr.. Creel, the
Mexican ambassador, had a long con-
ference with Secretary Root today and
Mr.. Core, the Nicaraguan minister and
Mr.. Calve, the Costa Rican minister,
also called at the state department, but
there were no late advices and none
would even comment on the situation
today. The impression is general in
diplomatic circles that Salvador, Guate-
mala and costa Rica are about to
throw their support to Honduras in an
attempt to crush Nicaragua and to
humble President Zelaya. 1t can be
stated positively that there is no thought
of intervention on the part of the Unit
ed States and Mexico is believed to be
unwilling to intervene. Although stron5
efforts are being made for an arbitra-
ton of the grievances which threaten
to result so disastrously the opinion pre-
walls in Washington that the five re-
publics will all become involved in act
ual war.

CLOCK TURNED BACK.
House Didn't Have Time Enough to
Consider Its Own Bills.

According to, the concurrent resolu-
ton adopted this morning the house
ceased consideration of all house bills
at noon today by the big clock back OF
the speakers desk which has stared
the members of the house in the face
during the session and will cease the
consideration of senate bills at
O'Clock Thursday. For the first time in
the history of the present session OF
the house the clock failed to keep cor
rect time and it was 81 minutes past
the noon hour when the hands indi-
Gated the hour for adjournment and
sounded the death knell to So house
bills which yet retain their place on
the calendar.
Acting under the instructions of the
house the sergeant at arms stopped
the clock al 81 minutes past IL and
the hands did not move for nearly hair
an hour when some member discov-
cred that the clock had been stopped
and objected to the proceedings. The
sergeant at arms was called to task
by Speaker Simons and instructed to
keep the clock going which he did by
occasionally pushing the hands a
notch or so forward.
The last bill considered by the house
and the one which blocked the passage
of further bills was substitute for
house bill No. 642, an act to establish
of Illuminating oil, gasoline, fuel oil.
and crude petroleum and its products.
to prohibit rebates. and to provide PEN
alties for the violation of the provis
ions of this act, and repeating chapter
S53 of the session laws of 1905 and ell
acts or parts of acts in conflict here
with.
A fight was waged on this bill from
the time the clerk commenced reading
until its death knen was sounded when
the speaker ruled that the hour for the
consideration of bills in the house had
passed. A call of the house was made
and an attempt made to force the pas
sage of the bill in this manner but the
enemies of the bill profited by the pro-
cedure and when the end came the
vote stood 81 for the bill and 80 against
