STRIKE DELAYS BUSINESS
No Prospect of an Immediate settIe-
ment of Trouble at San
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-The outlook
in the labor situation here is not particu-
larly bright and no chance for an imme-
diate settlement of any OF the questions
now involved is at present apparent. The
telephone strike has crippled the service
and last night the whole system had prac-
tically come to stRndstili The oper-
Htors are now securing support from all
directions and It is feared that the line
men will go out in sympathy, which will
still further complicate the situation.
In the case of the emergency hospitals
II has been found necessary to dispatch
mounted police TO act as messengers and
general business has been seriously af-
fected. In the stock markets a decline
followed the suspension OF the service. Sc
far no disturbance to amount to anything
has accompanied the strike.
The iron workers are still firm in their
demands and the proposition for a settle
ment by arbitration has now been aban-
doned owing to the negative position taken
by the trades counsel.
The car men will meet tomorrow to vote
on the question OF the threatened strike.
The men are standing by their demand for
SS and an eight-hour day, while the COM
pany is stil firm in It's position that the
rate established by the board Of arbitra-
tion is the limit, beyond which # will not
go The outlook is generally considered
unfavorable for any specific settlement OF
the difficulties and the worse is feared.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-Mrs. Roosevelt

was aboard the yacht sylph, which mar
rowly escaped a serious accident as the boat
reached Washington yesterday on its re-
turn from trip down the Potomac river.

a crash, narrowly missing Mrs. Roosevelt
and those with her. among whom we're Mrs.
clifford Richardson Of New York and Mrs.
Bacon, the wife Of the assistant secretary
Of state None was hurt.
Mrs. Roosevelt was entertaining friends
on the yacht, having left the city at noon
and returning to the navy at 8 o'clock.
For a time following the accident there
was considerable excitement aboard. but
the ladies were assured there WIS no
danger and the vessel was backed to It's
dock where the party disembarKed without
further adventure. Both yacht and tug
boat were more or less damaged. The i'm
preston is that the engineer misunderstood
an order to reverse his engines as one to
go forward resulting in the collision. The
The racing launch OF the sylph was badly
damaged. The captain of the Sylph was
at the White House today, but for what
purpose could not be ascertained.

found was not ready 10 say whether the
body OF his child was placed where Il was
found OF whether he believed the child
wandered into the marsh and lost his life
The marsh was frozen over the day the
boy disappeared.
There is a theory that the child was
murdered and his body placed in the marsh,
the long grass where the body was
found was burned and cleared four weeks
ago IL is said the body lay under a pile
OF grass and that the clothing showed no
evidence OF having been touched by IRE

Imperial Trade IL Followed by OmcInI
Statement Satisfactory to
American Schools.

CoNsTANTINoPLE May 4-The power
OF Withholding its consent TO an increase
OF per cent in the Turkish customs dues
has given the American government the
leverage necessary TO secure the Porte's
assent to a settlement Of the long pending
questions between the United States and
Turkey In accordance with the wishes of
the Washington government.
The imperial trade issued yesterday, au-
thorizing the ministers to take action in
the matter was quickly followed by a
communication from the Porte to Am
bassador Leishman, in which the Porte
declared that the American schools and
other institutions for which oficial reoog-
milton was demanded will hereafter be
treated on the same footing as those OF
other nations. All other American de-
mands are conceded and all the obstacles
to a complete solution Of the dificulties
which have existed between the American
representatives here and the Porte for
three years seem TO have been removed.

picnic party decided to make trip into
the Basuto country, which they entered by
paas known as the Lahl Ingubo, on the
Natal frontier, and encamped for the night
in cave in the DTakenberg.
Proceeding on their journey the following
day, they asked a native to direct them
to cave in which they could take their
midday meal. The Basuto appears to
have given information of their presence,
for toward evening the party was inter
rupted by a number OF natives, the old
man who appeared to be IN charge carrying
gun. The Europeans were then arrested,
accused of being white mems spies" and
taken to n place which had the appearance
Of a mountain stronghold beneath an over
hanging cliff.
Here the visitors horses were turned
astray and the head man. telling them that
they would not be allowed to re-enter

continue without their horses and would
have to carry their saddles After a night
spent under surveillance in a cave, the
Basutors maintaining a close watch upon
their captives, the party finally made their

they were assisted by their Basuto guide.

led them back to the pass by which they

whose object, according TO the opposing
parties has been TO keep Australia not
only white, but empty.
Australia is now producing a good deal
more sugar than It can use itself, the ex-
cess last year being 1900 tons The total
production reached 2O46S4 tons, while the
consumption was 1s9,540 tons. This is the
first time that the commonwealth refners
have turned out more sugar than was re-
quired for Australian use, though for the
last three years there has been a gain over
the consumption figures. In 1904 the produc-
tion was l64.47O tons and the consumption
$4,000 tons in 1895. l722l2 tons were pro-
duced and $4,000 tons consumed. Last wear
