TIE-UP SERIOUS
All the Biz Steamship Companies Are Affected by the Labor
 Trouble in New York
STEAMERS ARE TIED UP

New York, May IA serious tie- up of transatlantic shipping now appears imminent as result of the strike of longshoremen. Practically every one of the companies which operate big passenger and mail steamers between New York and Flu ropean ports are affected. These in clude the North German Lloyd, Ham burg-American, Scandinavian-Amer- can, Cunard, White Star. American. Red Star, French, Atlantic Trans port, Holland American and Phoenix lines. Many southern and coastwise steamship lines and large number of docks used by tramp steamers also are seriously inconvenienced.
 These conditions are particularly annoying to the companies operating the big passenger steamers just at this time as the spring travel to Eu- rope is just getting under full head way. All the steamers due to sail within the next few weeks are booked to their capacity and any disarrangement or delay in sailings would cause much inconvenience both to the travellers and the steam ship companies. The big steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. which was due to sail at 10 o'clock this forenoon, had full list of passen- gers. The Kaiser Wilhelm did not leave her pier at the usual sailing hour, but a representative of the company declared that she would be delayed only few hours and that she would get away later in the day. The other big steamers due to sail to-day are the Hamburg of the Ham, burg-American line and the Caronia of the Cunard line.
 According to the strike leaders 10000 men have quit work.
 There was little change in the con- ditions on the various docks to-day. At the Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd piers in Hoboken about 400 men in all reported for work to-day. This is only small employed by these companies. It was said that about 75 per cent of those who reported to the Hamburg American are new men, but that all the workers who went to the North German Lloyd piers are old hands who have deserted the strikers. On the New York side of the river the Cunard line had 150 regular men and a few recruits at work. The other piers. however. were practical ly deserted, as were the docks in South Brooklyn, where scores of tramp steamers discharge and load their cargoes. Strenuous efforts were being made early to-day to re- lieve the conditions in South Brook lyn and the companies asserted that at least 1000 new men would be on duty during the day. The new men were sent across to the Brooklyn shores in tugboats.
 When the steamer Vaderland came in from Antwerp to-day fourteen non-union longshoremen were wait ing for her. Under ordinary condi- tions from 100 to 150 men await the arrival of the Vaderland.

INJUNCTION PROCEEDINGS.
Mrs Greeman Claims Strip With
 Twenty Feet Frontage.

The injunction proceedings of Mrs Edith G. Greenman against At tillio Menichino of Meadow street promises to be the most entertaining that has been heard in the superior court in a long time. The suit in wolves the ownership of strip of land of frontage of twenty feet and depth of 12O. The late Chauncey B. Webster. thinking the property be- longed to him, deeded 1t to his then neighbor, the late George w. Beach. Tn the course of time MT Beach deed ed 1t to some one else and this some one else deeded 1t to J. Richard Smith, president of the Waterbury Button Co. and Ralph H. Smith, treasurer and secretary of the Smith & Griggs concern in Slmonsville. Another party took deed from them for the property and this latter person transferred 1t to Menchino. Menchino. 1t seems. bought the prop erty to the east of this land in dis pute. which was formerly passway which everybody used.
 The mistake that Mir Webster made did not come to light until his estate was distributed. Then 1t was found he had only a life interest in the property. Menchino wonders where he Is at in the matter. The burden of the proceedings will fall upon his shoulders. but it is said that in the end he will bring suit against the estate of MT Webster and make the intervening transferees of the estate co-defendants.

AFTER CURRENCY SAFE

Butte, Mont, May 7.-The north coast limited, the crack train on the Northern Pacific railroad has just been held up at Welch's spur, about 15 miles east of here and the engineer killed.

 The object of the robbers, it is presumed, was to secure the contents of the through safe carrying eonsign- ments of currency from Seattle, Poit- land and Spokane to eastern points, The bloodhounds of the penitentlary will be wired for.
 This is the fourth time the North Coast east-bound bas been held up in three years. The other three times this train was robbed near Bearmouth, about 80 miles west of here. This mornings hold-up is near the scene of the robbery of the Burlington fly CT two years ago in rough, noun tainous section. ts-
 St Paul, Minn, May 7.-General Manager Horn of the Northern Paci- fic railroad gave out the following statement about the attempt to rob the North Coast limited near Butte, Mont, early today:
 Number 2, east-bound north coast limited, engineer Frank Glow and Conductor Culver, was held up on the east side of Butte mountain about 1G miles east of Butte, Mont, by two or more men, who shot and killed the engineer and shot the fire man through the arm. They did some more shooting, but evidently be- came alarmed and left. Sheriff Webb of Billings, was on the train, and started on the trail of the hold-up men. Bloodhounds from the Deer Lodge penitentiary have been put on their trial also, and we expect to get the men. Engineer Glow had been running the train for eight years. The robbers did not get any money. While this road has had several hold-ups In that vicinity in the past ten years. we have captured the robbers in ev- cry instance and they are all doing time in the penitentiary and in all that time our money loss has not been to exceed 5000"

PARTY PLEDGES OF TARIFF.
What Viii the Coming National Cor

When a Republican politician has
been mixed up with the trusts. rail

as Gen Charles III Crosvenor has. he
can see but little on the popular side
OF those questions His defeat by hiS
own party for a denomination fer con-

more narrow view Of political affairs.

Cd 10 have said: The Democratic
party itself is inclined 10 leave the
tariff alone don't mean that the
rank and file Of the party are stand
patters. but AT heart they are protec-
ronists and the tariff plank in the
next Democratic platform will be
prutectionist plank How extraor-
binary this statement Is can be best
understood when il is known that not
one OF the Democratic members Of
the next congress was elected on
protectionist PLATFORM and every one
OF them would vote for a tariff reform
bill. II the Republicans would allow
such a measure to be- considered.
There are two or three Democratic
members Of congress who represent
districts in Louisiana and Texas.

duty paid on raw sugar
Now. with Democrats everywhere
demanding tariff reform and especial
~ asking that protection TO those
trusts that sell cheaper abroad than
here he abolished. with what evidence
can Gen Grosvenor predicate his as
sertion that Democrats at heart are
protectionists? As everyone with a
small income is feeling The burden OF
high trust prices and the consequent
large increase in the cost OF living.
even those Republicans who do not
participate in trust profits are de-
