Asked Permission On Flimsy Ground
 To See Carnegie.
 Pittsburg. Pa., April 11.-Carrying . pen knife which was open and con- cealed partly in his cuff, Frederick Slagel, aged thirty-three years, was ar rested in front of the Hotel 6chenley today.
 Slagel was trying to gain access to the main lobby of the hotel when seized by Policeman John Kennedy. He begged the officer to let him enter the hotel, saying that he wished to speak with Andrew Carnegie. in reference to the sale of patent device for milking cows.
 He was hurried to the Oakland po- lice station. When searched he had $261 on his person. He gave his ad- dress as Los Angeles, Cal. Mir. Carne- gie was not in the hotel at the time of the arrest. A.
 Slagel was locked up charged with being a suspicious person. The arrest has caused a very close watch to be kept on every person to guard against possible assassination or injury to any of the notable guests who are today participating in the founders day ex- ercises at the Carnegie Institute.
 Uniformed policemen and detectives by the score lowered about all the prominent people and tse possibility of any unauthorized person reaching them was very remote. MT. Carnegie was not informed of the arrest of the man and was unaware of the unusual precaution to guard him against harm.

BAKERS STRIKE BROKEN.
Paris Resumes its Normal Aspect, Sol- diers Being Withdrawn.

Paris. April 1.-Everything indi- cates that the strike of the bakers is to all intents and purposes over. The city tonight wears Its usual aspect No soldiers are to be seen. only the reg- ular patrolmen being out.
 The bakers held a second meeting in the labor exchange at 10 o'clock, but there were fewer men present than at the morning meeting. This would seem to indicate a general resumption of work which is confirmed by a state ment issued from the Prefecture of Police at II o'clock tonight that only 500 defections has been recorded in Paris and the district.
 This number is incopsiderable, as there are 2,500 bakers in Paris alone. Nevertheless, as a measure of precau- tion the bakeries will be guarded to- night for fear that attempts may be made to modest the workers.
 The bakers of Toulon have voted to go on a general strike tomorrow un- less their demands are granted.

the throne.
A crowd of 5000 Koreans had to

when the emperor acquiesced to the
demand for abdication, a number of
students attempted to present a petit

ing them back east of the palace.

of transferring the imperial seal to
the crown prince was elaborate.

emperor and the streets around the
palace were filled with people.

some sensational rumors, but there is
no indication of revolt. The Korean

streets, gave the first official an
nouncement of the abdication which
was signed by the emperor and the
ministers in favor of the crown
