STRIKE OF TELEeRAPHERs.

Twelve cable operators at Havana
Cuba, obeyed President Smalls strike
order and quit. Small asked the Chi
cago Federation for money to help the
strike. Both sides were confident OF
ultimate success.
President S. j. Smalls order for
general strike of commercial teleg'
raphers did not seem to meet with the
response the union officials had eX'
pected In Chicago the additions 10
the strikers forces were few, and IN
New York the order had little appar'
ent effect on the situation. me
strikers said nearly all union men
were out already. President Small
said a fund of 100000 would be
raised within two months. After he
and Samuel Gompers had conferred
the talk of arbitration was revived
President S. j. Small, of the Com
mercial Photographers union, arrived
in Chicago, conferred with Samuel
Gompers and other leaders and then
issued a general strike order calling
out all commercial operators not
working under union contracts. IL
was decided That the railway teleg-
raphers should not strike.
Commercial photographers union sent
a warning to all boards of trade ana
commercial bodies to adjust their al
fairs in preparation for a general walk
out President Roosevelt would not
interfere in the strike, referring num-
erous appeals to Labor Commissioner
Neill. The operators employed by Ar
mour & Co. at Chicago and in the
Union Stock yards at East st. Louis
quit their keys.

The TeIegraphers' Strike.

The long awaited general strike or
der to telegraph operators was issued
at 1870 Friday morning by President
Samuel J. Small who arrived in Chi
cago from San Francisco. BY Small's
order all telegraphers are now on
strike are compelled to quit work
wherever contracts at union terms
have not been signed.
The issue is now clearly drawn for
the first time since the locals began to
go out. No operator who continues to
work will be considered a union man,
whether he holds membership in the
union or not.
President Small was welcomed at
the station there on his arrival by an
enthusiastic crowd of 1000 operators
who carried him on their shoulders to
an automobile which awaited him.
Cries of I'VE win" and mo arbitra-
ton" greeted him.
The Postal Telegraph Co. has in
stalled a number of printing tele-
graph" machines, each one of which.
it is said, does work equal to that Of
two men. Girls can take off the mes
sages received and the company de-
clares that it will keep the machines
in preference to the men when the
strike is over. Despite the optimism
OF the companies, however, business is
moving slowly in the board of trade,
where IL operators are doing their
best to do the work formerly handled
by 300.
There was no noticeable increase
In the number of strikers and the
companies renewed their assertion
that business is being handled without
any great trouble.
The efforts at peace-making have so
far had no effect. The companies still
declare positively that under no cir.
cumstances will they consent to arbi-
trate and the men still insist that they
do not desire any mediation. President
Gompers, Of the American Federation
of Labor, declared this morning he
was still working for peace, but admit
ted that present prospects are not
bright.

EMPRESS ISL HSU.
To AbdIcate the Chinese Throne on
the New Year.

the New Year
Dispatches from Shanghai contain
the interesting news that Isl Hsu, the
empress dowager of China, has an
nounced her determination to abdi-
cate at the next Chinese new year.
She desires to hand over the cares of
state to the emperor and, it is stated,
secret decree has been issued call
ing a meeting of the Grand council
to make the change.
The dowager empress, now 73 years
old. has been supreme in Chinese af-
fairs for many years. Her career is a
remarkable one. The daughter OF
Manchu, sold in infancy by a brother
who ran into financial difficulties, she
became at an early age, one of the
secondary wives of the Emperor Hen
Fung. She won his admiration and
son she placed on the throne, but his
career was brief, poison, 1t has been
thought, causing his death.
AS there was no heir to the throne
the infant son of Prince Chung be-
came emperor under the name OF
Kwang Su and under the regency of
Isl Hsu, the dowager empress. In 1889
the emperor nominally assumed full
control of the government, but nine
years later, when he issued some re-
form DEGREES, the regency Of the en-
press dowager was restored and she
has since vigorously kept him in the
background
