CAME AS A SURPRISE.
New York Strike Had Not Been Es
pected Just Yet.

New York, Aug. 13.--At p. m. the
operators In the main Office OF the
Western Union here went out. There
had been rumors that such move
was in contemplation, but up to few
minutes before l o'clock there were
no signs OF the intended action. At
exactly / o'clock q shrill whistle was
sounded through the big operating
room and practically every man left
his key.
AS the men left the building they
were cheered by other operators who
had gathered in the street. The
cheering soon attracted the passersby
on Broadway and in few minutes a
large crowd had gathered. There was
no disorder, however, and the police
of the traffic squad soon put the sight
seers in motion.
Secretary Treasurer Mclnerney OF
the local Telegraphers' union said
that the local men had walked out
without any order from the union of
ficers and that they took the matter
IN their own hands In going out. He
said the officers of the union. though,
would stand by the strikers in their
action.
Four hundreI men and thirty WON
en- quit work in the main office OF the
Postal Telegraph company. A few
employees remained at their keys.

tive commission which has been in
vestigating the charges OF fraud In
connection with the furnishing OF
Pennsylvania new $13,Us1.000 cap
itol will present its report 10 Governor

the attorney general of Pennsylvania
will institute both criminal and civil
suits against those who have been
shown to have shared in the illegal
profits. The report it is understood,
contains no specific recommendations
but evidence of criminal intent Is so
plainly pointed out by the commission

TO COMPEL ANSWERS
Department Of Justice will Pro.
ceed Against Hartman.
NO OTHER SUITS PROPOSED
Authoritatively Stated That Aside
From Action Mentioned Government
Has Not Decided to Proceed Against
Head Of Union Pacific.

Washington, Aug 13.-Inquiry at
the department of justice elected the
authoritative information that there
will be a proceeding to compel Z. IL.
Hartman to answer certain questions
he refused to answer when before the
interstate commerce commission at
New York last winter; also that no
other proceedings against him and no
proceedings against the Union Pacific
have either been determined upon or
are now under consideration.
Attorney General Bonaparte has re.
turned from his vacation at Lenox,
Mass, and took up at once many i'm.
portant matters pending in the de-
partment of justice. He was unwili.
ing to discuss the reports that he had
returned to begin criminal prosecution
in the Hartman and Standard OH
cases, but speaking generally he said
the department stands ready to bring
criminal action when there seems q
good chance to convict He expressed
no opinion concerning the possibility
of conviction in case action Is brought
in either of the cases mentioned.
Discussing the existing statutes he
said the Elkins law has been proven
strong enough to put an end to rebat-
ing, but that some more active en-
forcement might be beneficial. While
he had no criticism to offer OF the
Elkins law he thought that the Hep
burn act passed by the last congress
may strengthen 1t materially. Mr..
Bonaparte had a telegram from r. b.
Kellogg of ST. Paul, who has been act
ing for the government as special at
torney in both the Hartman and the
Standard Oil cases, stating that the
taking of testimony in the st. Louis
case against the Standard Oil COM
pany, which is for the dissolution of
the concern, will begin In New York
on Sept. 8.

MARKET CONTINUES WILD
Violent Fluctuations on the New
York Stock Exchange.

New York, Aug. 13.-Prices OF prac-
tically all active stocks crumbled away
Immediately upon the opening OF the
stock market under the pressure OF
the selling movement which began
last week. A violent decline OF from
2 to points per share on these stocks
was shown by the first quotations.
The Pacific group of stocks were the
greatest sufferers, Northern Pacific
selling OF points within few min
utes after the opening, while losses
Of or more points were scored In
Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and
Missouri Pacific. Other heavy losers
were Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville
and Nashville and Southern Pacific.
Some of the Industrial stocks also
felt the selling movement severely,
and losses of 2 to 4 points per share
were shown early by Anaconda. Con
solidated Gas, American Smelling and
Colorado Fuel.
The chief feature of the first trad
ing was Reading, which opened with
q sale of 10000 shares at 80 to SO, or
q maximum loss of 2h points.
At the end OF the first half hour the
market became more steady and some
OF the stocks which had shown the
heaviest declines recovered ! to )
points. The market, however. contin-
ued feverishly active.
After considerable reverses in the
first hour, in which declines for North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Ana.
conda Copper regained large part o!
the early loss, prices fell back under
selling by spectators who had bought
during the morning decline and were
taking profits on the subsequent re-
covery. Trading, however was not
active and the market became quiet
and steady. The decentralization Of
the opening was generally attributed
to weakness OF American stocks In
London.
In the final hour there was another
violent hear attack which carried
prices to the lowest level of the day
Especial points OF weakness were
Union Pacific, Reading, Smelling
Amalgamated and the local traction
stocks. On short covering the mar
ket rallied and the closing, though
feyerish, was fairly well maintained

SITUATION IN CHICAGO.
Telegraph Companies Claim to Be II
Fair Shape.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-Both the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies claim to be in better condition
than at any time since the commence
ment of the strike Of Its operators.
Otficers Of the Western Union said
that the company had more than 200
men at work and was able to care
for business in fair shape. The Postal
company claimed to have about 100
men and officials also asserted that
the delay In handling messages was
not great. Both companies, however,
had posted In conspicuous places the
notices that messages would only be
accepted subject to delay In transmits
sion.
TIE officers of the union said the
companies had but one-third OF the
number Of men at wo.k that they
claimed and declared that many OF
them were telegraph students who are
not yet capable of doing good work.
The decision of the operators In
New York, Washington and Boston
not to strike Immediately did not dis
concert the officers of the union. Sec.
retary Wesley Russell said:
1T makes no difference what the
men East vote to do. When the time
comes they will be ordered out and
that will be all there is to it. They
will come out when we want them"
Superintendent Cooke of the West
ern Union in this city has issued a
statement saying that there will not
be any arbitration Of the strike.
Il will receive no deputations OF the
strikers" said Mr.. Cooke, "and will
hold no communication with them ex
cepting in a circular letter which
will send out. This will be brief and
will read: Having left the employ
of the company you will apply at once
for your pay"

WIDE VARIANCE IN PRICES
Report Says Oil Trust Discrimlnates
Among Localities.

Washington, Aug. 13.-"The Stand
ard Oil company is most conspic-
nous example of a combination which
maintains substantial monopoly, not
by superiority of service and by
charging reasonable prices, but by un-
fair methods of destroying competi-
ton; a combination which then uses
the power thus unfairly gained to op-
press the public through wholly extor-
tionate prices. 1t has raised prices
instead of lowering them. II has pock-
eted all the advantages OF its econo-
mics instead of sharing them with
the public and has added still further
monopoly profits by charging more
than smaller and less economical con-
Germs could sell for II the Standard
allowed the chance"
This is the Characterization OF the
Standard Oil company by Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner OF corpora
tions, in the third installment of his
report on the petroleum industry.
The report deals mainly with the
marketing system of the Standard Oil
company. The commissioner charges
that the Standard Oil company, being
a monopoly in the United States. has
raised the price Of oil In this country
so as to enable 1t to sell oil cheaper
in foreign countries. He points out
wide differences In the price OF oil In
various parts of the country, contend
ing that it discriminates among local.

competition and raising 1t where II
has driven competition from the field

ise. Season after season passed by, but
the young man did not make his appear
ance. In the meantime many young mon
sought her hand but she firmly refused
all their advances. When her parents
tried to persuade her to accept the at
tention of some acceptable party she
feigned madness, tore her own garments
and the garments of those who touched
her and she was given up as demrlted.
The young man who gave his pledge
to her went home, pursued his daily a7o-
cations in his usual way, forgetful of his
pledge to her. In the course Of time he
paid his attention to another damsel and
married her. After some time she gave
birth to child, and in the space Of
three months the child was strangled by
a weasel. A second child was born and
sometime afterwards it fell in well and
was drowned. Then the bereavcd mother
began sadly to reflect that there must be
some cause for this double misfortune.
She said to her spouse, eff our children
had died natural death 1 would not
murmur. would accept the providen-
tial visitation and say God has given and
God has taken away. But this unusual
dire decree stirs my soul to its very
DEPTH There must be reason and
cause. Tell me what have you done?"
He then told her the remarkable story
of his pledge. Without any hesitation
she told him that they must be divorced
and that he must seek out the damsel of
his former choice and be united to her
in marriage He set out on his journey
and went to the town where the maiden
lived. When he began to make inquiries
about her he was told that she was in
sane and whosoever proposes to her she
madly repels. He, however approached
her father and revealed to him the whole
story and said that he would accept her
as his bride with all her faults. The
father accepted the proposal in the pres
ence Of witnesses.
Then the man was ushered in to the
young woman s apartment, but she be-
gan to be furious in the old usual way
until he told her the story of the weasel
and the WELL At once she regained her
right senses and cheerfully became re-
united to him and told him that she also
kept her promise. Their marriage was
soon afterwards celebrated with great
eclat and they were happy and prosper
