France Between Populace and Mil
itary.

Paris, June 2O.-Owing to the cen
sorship in the south, only brief items
of news Of the winegroWers' demon
strations have reached Paris up to
this afternoon. These, however
showed that the conflicts between the
troops and mobs were more sangui
nary than at first supposed.
At Narbonne three persons were
killed and fully a hundred soldiers
and civilians, including a score OF
women, are said to have been wound
ed, several fatally. The troops, who
were ordered to fire in the air, shot
straight at the mob hesieging them in
the court yard OF the sub-prefecture.
A whole army corps has been pul
in motion to deal with the rebellious
winegrowers, but the government
claims that the forces are now SO dis
tributed as to isolate the different
sections and render it practically i'm
possible to effect a genral mobiliza
tion of the dissatisfied people. Three

had been sent to "Jack" on December
81, 1905, and that he should have re-
ceived it. The state produced the
drafts sent by Haywood to Stmpkins
and among them was one for 800 senc
on some date in the twent1es of Deem
her, 1905, but the particular day could
not be made out because the second
figure had been cut out by the per-
forator used on the draft.
Detectives who were detailed to fur
ther trace the 500 draft and the tele-
gram from Denver today state that the
bank records show that December 81
was the date Oh purchase. The tes-
timony involved is of such Importance
that the state may not close It's case
until it can produce it or 1t may close
with the reservation that it be per
mitted to make later PROOF OF the
matter.

FRISCO OPERATORS WILL STRIKE
TOMORROW.
STATEMENT BY SMALL
Expect to Carry on Geurrilla Warfare
Throughout Country Which viii
ParaIyze Traffic of All kinds-Ask
for Temporary Advance in Salaries.

San Francisco, June 20-The Chron-
icle will say in substance tomorrow:
The crisis has been reached in the
fight between the telegraphers' union
and the Western Union and a strike
will be declared in this city tomorrow
unless the demands of the local union
are met by the company. Samuel
Small, president of the Telegraphers'
union is in the city and will have per-
sonal charge Of the fight.
A committee OF the union called on
Superintendent Jaynes Of the Western
Union this afternoon, but carrying out
the policy of the company, from the
very start, he refused to see them as
members of the union. although he was
willing to meet them as employees OF
the company. To this the committee
would not consent, as tlhe operators
are determined to make the fight on
the union question.
A meeting of the union was held in
Oakland tonight, it which the commit
tee represented it's authority to Sc
cure a hearing. A new committee of
five was named, which will again call
on Jaynes tomorrow and demand a
hearing. If this is refused, a strike
will be called, as soon as the leaders
can get in touch with the operators,
which will not take long.
The demand of the union as present
ed today and as it will be pressed
again tomorrow, is for an advance in
| wages of rs per cent, which is intend
ed to be temporary and that only dur
| ing the present period of high prices
following the fire. This demand is
purely local, affecting only the opera
tors of San Francisco and Oakland.
| The fight which will open here to-
morrow is merely the opening skirmish
in the greater battle which the opera
tors will wage throughout the country.
| President Small said tonight, after the
meeting of the union:
"Our plans are fully prepared, and
we will carry the fight to the halls
of congress before we are through. We
do not intend to declare a general
strike throughout the country, but we
will carry on geurrilla warfare which
will continue until we secure justice
and consideration. We will call a SER
| les of local strikes in the various ci-
| ties of the country which will para
llyze traffic. We intend to continue
this fight before congress and then we
propose to place the whole matter IN
| the hands Of the lawmakers"
There is some uncertainty whether
or not the Postal Telegraph company
will be involved in the controversy.
The local sentiment is that it will not

! 1t was announced tonight that Pres
lident Small stated that at 1 O'CLOCK
tomorrow the telegraph companies
must make definite announcement OF
their decision.

Four General Committees.
The Hague, June 20.-The various
delegations to the peace conference
met today and selected members to
be assigned to the four general com
mittees created yesterday. AS in
many instances, especially in the
case of the smaller delegations, the
same members will be assigned to
two or more committees, it will be
necessary for the committees to as
semble on different days.
The real work of the conference
will be done in the committees. A
month is expected to elapse before
the next plenary sitting, as the plan
is to have the committee work well
advanced before another full confer
ence. This was the procedure in
1899, when there was period of %
days between the appointment Of the
committees and the presentation Of
the first subject.
