FORMALLY DISCHARGED
Striking Telegraphers Paid or in
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. August 15-Au the tele-
graph operators who struck work In this
city Monday were paid their two weeks
salary yesterday by the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies and formally
discharged" from the service.
The long-expected order to prepare the
grievances of the Baltimore men came from
the union leaders in Chicago. They will af-
feet both companies. Hitherto It was ex-
pected that only men Of the Western Union
would complain. but the feeling has sprung
up In the ranks Of the Postal men since
they walked out that now is the time to
make their demands.
With the conditions at the two offices
about the same as the day before and tele-
graphic communication uncertain. the lat
ter continuing to work great hardships upon
business, both the arrangements of the local
companies and the strikers started to pre-
pare for long and bitter conflict.
From today on. when a general strike
order from Chicago is expected to be Is
sued by President Small of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union, OF which Baltimore
men are members. there will be hardly any
perceptible change In the Baltimore situa-
ton. and until final settlement Is secured
by the national organization 1t Is believed
to be waiting game"

The Postal and Western Union Telegraph

increase still further their facilities to-
morrow.
1t was declared last night that strikes
would be called today in all brokerage
houses, but up to a late hour In the morn

ROOSEVELT STAYS OUT.
Apparently Not Interfering In the
Telepraphers' Strike.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. August 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not concern himself
personally with the telegraphers' strike.
according to the best information obtain
able here.
Appeals to the President to take some ac-
tion looking to a settlement Of the strike
were received at the executive offlce here
yesterday from boards Of trade and COM
mercial bodies Of a large number Of cities.
The applications were similar in character
to those formulated Tuesday by the Chicago
board Of trade Each emphasized the inn
portance of direct action by the President.
The communications. have been referred
to Commissioner OF Labor Charles Z. Nell.
1t Is understood that no instructions or
recommendations have been forwarded to
Mr. Nell From the first Mr.. Nell has
been active in an endeavor to effect a set
tlement of the trouble. 1t is stated here
that he has yet made no report to tho
President. nor has he received any mes
sages from Mr.. Roosevelt touching upon
the matter in hand
Mr.. Neirs movements. however, have
been closely followed. and. while the direct
statement is not made. the impression Is
given that In Mr.. Neils enorts the au
ministration considers that the limit or lt5
functions and authority in the matter Is
being exercised.

MAKES FOR PEACE.
French View Of the Meeting Of King
Edward and Emperor Wilhelm.

PARIS, August 15-French opinion gen.
orally regards the meeting between King
Edward and Emperor William at Will
he!mshohe yesterday as marking another
stage In the relaxation Of European ten
sions. Like the Swinemunde meeting and
the approaching interview between King
Edward and Emperor Francis Joseph at
1schl. the papers think 1t may principally
be important in calming the senslbilties of
Germany concerning the series of agree
ments Great Britain has been completing
and that from this standpoint it will
strengthen the peace of Europe.
Moreover yesterdays meeting Is con-
trasted with the handshake between the
king and the German emperor last year at
Kronbers. and there Is disposition to con-
slider the Wilhelmhohe meeting as being
something in the nature Of a genuine recon-
clliation between the two sovereigns, whose
relations heretofore have been notoriously
cool. So far as French interests are con-
cerned. the impression prevails that they
cannot be prejudiced by what occurred at
Wilhelmshohe. and that they may be ad-
vanced especially should circumstances
later necessitate broadening OF the man.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, August 15.-There was little
change in the telegraph situation here to-
day. The companies claim that they are
able to handle all of the business that Is
being offered, while the strikers claim that
they are daily adding recruits to their
numbers. While there seems not the re-
hottest possibility that the railroad men of
New England will become involved there is
a great deal of uncertainty.
General Chairman e. ]. Manion of the O.

GENERAL OLIVER BACK
HE GOES OVER BUREAU ESTI-
MATES WITH sEC'Y TAFT.

Gen. Oliver, assistant secretary of war
after a short vacation near Murray Bay,
Canada, has returned to this city for the
purpose of assisting Secretary Taft to dis
pose of the mass Of business that has ac-
cumulated during the temporary absence Of
both of them. The two officials were clos
eted in the Secretary's office for several
hours today making a final review Of the
estimates prepared by the various bureau
chiefs for the support of the military estab-
lishment for the fiscal year 1909. Gen. Bell.
chief of staff. ard Mr. Scofeld chief clerk
of the War Department. Were present dur
ing the consideration of the various esti-
mates.
Among the estimates considered were
those submitted by Gen. Mackenzie. chief
of engineers: Gen. CroZier, chief of ord
nance. Gen. Aleshire. chief of the quarter
masters department; Gen. Sniffin, pay
master general; Gen. Allen, chief of the
Signal Corps, and Gen. Murray, chief of
artillery.
AS a rule these estimates were trimmed
down to the lowest possible margin COM
mensurate with the great interests in
yOlved in the maintenance of the growing
military establishment. Except in few
instances. the estimates practically
about the same as the appropriations for
the current fiscal year, whatever changes
there were being in the nature of increases
Secretary TAFT was much ensrossed
with the consideration of the military esti-
mates today that he had scarcely any time
a all for the disposal OF other business or
the reception OF the many callers who de-
sired to see him before his trip to the
Philippines.
If Secretary Taft felt disappointed at the
meagerness OF the vote cast in the Phil
ippines recently on the occasion of the first
election for members of the Legislature he
did not betray that fact Indeed. he de-
Clared that he had rather expected from
tn experience gained during American in
tervent!on in Cuba that the Filipinos would
not avail to the utmost at the outset of the
newly conferred privilege of voting Tn
doubtedly many of the F.lipinos were timid
and disliked to arouse the ill-feelng of that
element in the population which had resist

American governor general to be excluded

necessity or making the issue with their
neighbors. However this feeling changes

the right of suffrage In after elections The
Secretary felt that that would be the "a se
in the Philippines. and in the course or a
year or two the registration would larpa,v
