IS WITHOUT EFFECT
No Change in Situation by Gen.
eral Strike Order.
NELL GOES TO WASHINGTON
Commissioner Of Labor Declares That
Differences Between Operators and
Telegraph Companies Cannot Be
Adjusted in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1 Despite the issu-
ance Of the general strike order by
President Small Of the Photographers
union the situation in this city has
not materially changed. All of the
men who were disposed to strike and
who might have been affected by the
general order were already out. It
was believed by the officials Of the
union that the order would paralyze
. number OF brokerage and commits
sion houses, but up to late hour In
the morning no additional strikes In
this direction had been reported.
Both the Postal and Western Union
companies increased their forces on
the board OF trade. They both report
ed the strike situation as steadily Inn
proving. with occasional applications
from strikers for their old positions.
It was said at the offices of both COM
panies that they were every day han
ding matter with more dispatch.
The improvement In the Associated
Press service was marked, number
OF towns on each of the west, north
and south circuits, which did not re-
port the previous day, were receiving
q full report and the volume of news
handled was much greater than at
any time since the walkout Monday
night.
The efforts at peacemaking have so
far produced no effect. The companies
still declare positively that under no
circumstances whatever will they CON
sent to arbitrate and the men still in
sist that they do not desire any media
ton. President Gompers Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor declared
that he was still working for peace,
but admitted that present prospects
were not bright.
United. States Labor Commissioner
Neill has left for Washington. Just
before taking his train he said that
the telegraphers' strike could not be
settled in Chicago and that the only
place where an adjustment could be
reached was In New York.
The officials of the Photographers
union here have changed front on the
proposition to arbitrate and announced
that they would accept the Offices Of
the general board of arbitrators Of the
American Federation of Labor In set
Ting the differences. This board con.
sists Of John Mitchell of the Mine
Workers, Daniel J. Keefe of the Long,
shoremen and Samuel Gompers. It
was Mr. Gompers who made the above
announcement. r

Much Grain Passes Through.

Cass Lake Times: The state
grain inspectors at this village are
making ample preparations to take
care Of the enormous wheat crop
which now threatens to soon be
thrust upon the markets. Before
another month has passed great
trains with hundred forty ton
cars will be moving and during no
hour of the day or night shall we
fail to hear the laundering of the
wheat trains as they pass down the
grade into the Cass Lake yards,
where they will be inspected and
pass on to the head waters of the
Great Lakes.
Did you ever attempt an estimate
of the thousands of bushels of wheat
that pass by our doors during just
one day in the early fall? It is no
over statement to say that a train
will move one hundred thousands
bushels; ten trains one million and
when twice that numbsr of trains
pass by every day you may easily
estimate the mountain piles of wheat
which our inspectors are called upon
to sample from the beginning of the
season until all is in the elevators
at Duluth. - -.--1.

GIRL IN NIGHTDRESS.
Policeman Solves Mystery Of Ghostly
Bicycle Rider.

roilceman solves Mystery OF Ghostiy
Bicycle Rider.
Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug 1.-THE
ghostlike apparition of girl astride
a bicycle fitting about the streets
after midnight will not startle resi-
dents in the East End any longer.
For weeks pedestrians abroad late at
night have been scared.
Thursday night a policeman, at
tracted by crash and q scream, ran
around a corner and solved the mys-
terry. He found a young and PRETTY
girl clad In thin nightdress which
had suffered severely when the wheel
she was riding struck a brick. The
girl was dazed, but told the policeman
where she lived. He escorted her
home and startled her father, a we'll
known merchant, who thought his
daughter was safe in bed.
The girl said she had no recollection
Of her night rides.

Music by the Band Tornor-
row Night
has been created by the fact tina

has been created by the fact that
many of the mining companies have
armed some of their own men to act
as guards. These men are not special
officers in any way. They are merely
guarding the property of their en-
ployers as they have perfect right.
1t is not to be denied that some of
these men have gone too far, but
their intersections should not be
charged up to the sheriff. My men
are all selected from the best timber
available and are doing good work. -

HAS GREAT AMBITIONS.
Hartman Would Own All Railroads
IL He Could.

Hartman Would Own All Railroads
I. II He Could.
Reno, New, Aug. 1I.-"All the rail-
roads of the country would be mine
Il ! could get control Of them," said
Edward II. Hartman to q reporter for
the State Journal on his arrival at
Sparks, New, the division terminal,
In the course Of an interview during
which he discussed his work and his
ambitions.
II have been quoted seriously for
an expression made jocularly to the
effect that I would manage the rail-
roads for the federal government;
that would turn my holdings over to
the United States for fair compensa-
ton and act then as q commissioner"
Mr.. Hartman, continued. "But am
misunderstood. The time has not
come for federal ownership. Person
ally, with all the lines In my posses
sion, would be better suited.
What Is your policy concerning the
management of the railroads that we
are told you own?''
1T Is to pay dividends" came the
decisive answer.
Since 1898 we have spent $780,
100000 for improvements. We want
some returns. Don't you think we are
entitled to returns from such an ex-
penditure? Mine, then, is a financial
policy; I watch that end of the game.
Other matters are left to the officials
concerned with them.
Agitation of the abuses on the rail-
roads make harder the accomplish
ment Of local improvements. Facts
that In themselves are insignificant
are magnified and distorted by the
public mind until they become harm
full to the interests Of the public and
to us. It is the spirit of the age-and
the newspapers-sO what can we do?"

Daughter.
New York, Aug. 1i.-Lewis Wilding,
eleven years old, an inmate of an or
phanage, has by his bravery won for
himself a home and probably good
future. He jumped into the river and
saved the life of Rose MCGOWAN, lthir-
teen years old, the daughter of a con-
tractor, who had fallen into the water
while gathering moss along the riv-
er's bank. VI zig s
Wilding, who happened to be pic
nicking in the vicinity with the chill
dren from the orphanage, went to the
rescue, while several men stood by
apparently afraid to make the venture.
Hugh MCGOWAN, the girls father,
says he will care for the orphan lad
In the future and will also bring his
act to the attention Of those in charge
Of the Carnegie hero medal fund.

SITUATION IMPROVING.
General Strike Order Has No Effect

General Strike Order Has No Effect
In New York.
New York, Aug. Up to noon
the order for general strike of all
commercial telegraphers had met with
no response from the men at work in
either the Western Union or the Post
al Telegraph companies or those Of
the Associated Press. The officials Of
the two big companies said that they
had failed to discover that the strike
order had had any effect on the situa-
ton. The extension Of communication
to the more remote and smaller towns
was proceeding rapidly and business
was being moved expeditiously. The
Associated Press resumed local serv-
Ice to number Of minor points and
the main circuits were working as
usual.
