San Francisco. July 1S.--It was a
day of activity in the ranks OF the
striking telegraphers at Oakland.
There were committee meetings ana
many impromptu consultations held,
and during the afternoon several oper-
ators waited on the three members or
the executive committee, M. J. Reidy,
s. j. Kokenkamp and j. M. Sullivan,
but absolute silence was maintained
as to the meeting or trend Of the dts
cussions.
II was evident from the bearing Of
the conferees that the situation was
considered serious and there were
hints Of increasing friction among the
leaders of the strikers. The executive
committee came in for severe criticism
on account of its reported remarks
Ideprecating the calling of the strike
and its apparent lack of sympathy for
the local operators.
1t has been rumored persistently for
the past few days that there was Sc
rious split between President Small
and his executive committeeman.
The telegraphers, after their meet
ing this morning, reported that they
refused to accept the concessions as
framed by their national executive
committed These concessions. they
stated, included an offer OF 20 pen
cent increase in pay on the part Of the
Western Union and the acceptance oi
all but three OF the strikers In their
old places.
The Postal, they said, had offered tt
take back 80 per cent. Superintendent
! Miller today denied that his company
had offered any concessions or that y
had changed its position In any way
President Small wired the result d
the meeting to Chicago, but would no
say what its effect would be ant
whether he would go east.
There Is nothing new given out b,
the managers of either company today
and the situation from their side ap
pears unchanged. Labor Commissions

Philadelphia, July 1S-The parade
OF the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks today was marked during
its progress by the prostration from
heat Of an army Of persons estimated
BY the police and hospital authorities
at $500.
The number would have been great
er had it not been for the eventual
downpour Of a heavy rain, Never has
there been such a wholesale prostsar-
ing Of people in the city. For six
hours the police, ambulances, sur
geons and the Red Cross nurses We're
kept on the run looking after persons
who collapsed under the scorching
rays of the sun and largely because Of
their excellent service. but one case
resulted fatally.
James Rowiey, aged forty-four
years, Of this city. died in a hospital
after being stricken in the street. The
other stricken persons are said to be
in good condition, with no prospects
Of fatal results.
The parade ground was on Broad
street for a distance of three miles
north and the same distance south cf
the city hail. The paraders counter
marched the last three miles back 20
the city hall, so that they traversad
upward Of nine miles yet few of those
overcome by the heat were in the line
Of march.
Those who succumbed were among
the spectators jammed along the
street in a solid mass from one end
OF the line to the other. The tenn
perature hovered around 80 degrees
and the humidity was excessive, and
as consequence people sweltered.
Every attention was given u the
spectators to see that they were pro-
/ tected, but It required four hours for
the marchers to pass given point,
and the eager people, stood in the hot
sun for two hours or more before the
parade started. The total number N
the line of march Is conservatively es-
timated at 10000 men, with about
i125 Floats.
About one hundred lodges from
