SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, June 90
Information received here indicates
that the boilermakers' strike that has
been in force against the Santa Fe
system for the past four years has been
declared off by the national organiZa-
ton of boilermakers. This is not ex-
pected, however, to change materially
the status of the conditions on the
Santa Fe, as union boilermakers will
be permitted to work for the Santa Fe
only under the shop rules promulgated
by the railroad.
1t is understood the railroad COM
pany has made no concessions what
ever nor has it taken any cognizance
of the action of the boilermakers. The
shops will in the future be open, as
in the past.

A GUARANTEE SYSTEM
Would Destroy Incentive for Sound
Banking, Says Henry CLOVIS.

Baltimore, Md, Oct AT am most
strenuousy opposed to the govern
ment guarantee of bank deposits, as
it is q measure unsound in principle
and fraught with great danger both
to the government and the business of
the country"
SO said Henry Clews of New York,
in opening an address delivered last
night before the Baltimore chapter of
the American Institute of Banking.
Continuing he criticized adversely the
suggestion relative to the guarantee
of bank deposits
"A guarantee system he said,
would destroy the incentive for sound
banking and place a premium upon
unsound banking, so that the reckless
and inefficient banker would be on the
same footing with the prudent and ex-
perenced banker all of which is I'M
thinkable. 1t is Socialistic in it's tend
ency and far-away cry from true
Democratic principles, which oppose
excessive Capitalization Of power"
He declared that the idea was pro-
mulgated for the purpose OF creating
antagonism between bank stockholders
and depositors whose interests. he said.
are one. He combatted the idea that
the depOsitors make banks prosperous
or the reverse.

Bangor. Me. Oct. 14.-Open time on
moose in Maine begins at midnight
tonight Fewer hunters than usual are
in the woods. owing to continued warm
weather and to various other causes.
among them the national campaign,

ing conditions are now favorable,
enough rain having fallen to relieve
the drouth. while most of the leaves
have fallen.
The season is from Oct. Is to Dec. l.
Last year 255 moose were shipped
through Bangor. The average for the
last 10 years is 217 According to wa,
oens and hunters, there has been no
noticeable decrease in the number of
moose in Maine since last year. The

UNDER new CONTROL.
Increased to Is and Nine Are
Named by J. |. Billiard, Who Rep

Alexander Cochrane of Boston, and

old board died during ire past year.
The vote on the change in the board
of directors was unanimous, a2o. 1875

Speaking with reference to the four
Connecticut directors elected today,
Mr.. Billiard said that he believed a

Whether the new blood has been in

about Il technical merger of the Bos-

not disclosed today either in the per-
sonnet of the board or BY the guarded
words of some of the new directors.

far as they were aware, everything
was in the hands of MIR Billiard, That
gentleman attended the meeting in
company with President futile and
was very willing to discuss the per-
sonality Of the men for whom he had
secured places on the board. but as
to whom they represented he would
only say that as holder Of a large
block of the stock he thought that it
was only right that his interests should
be considered. President futile. in
commenting on the change said that
the board was made up entirely of
business men. He added: "And not one
of them is identified with either the

Now Begun in the New
York Taxicab Strike
One Thrown Wednesday Into
Large Number II Cabs.
Little Damage Done...no One Hurt
...Both Sides Rspudlate Act.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE death-dealing
bomb made its first appearance today in
the struggle between the New York Tax
jcab Co. and its striking chauffeurs
While no one was injured and no serious
damage was done, still the controversy,
which from the first has been marked
with. violent disorders. has by this act
reached a stage where 1t is likely that
the sternest repressive measures will be
required.
Both the company and the strikers re-
pudiate the outrage, the company declar-
ing that a deliberate attempt was made
by the strikers to destroy the property
Of their former employers. and the strik-
ers maintaining that the deadly missile
was hurled in an attempt to turn public
sympathy against them or by some mis-
guided sympathizers.
. The bomb was thrown early today into
the big enclosure on Eighth avenue. be-
tween 56th and 57th streets. where $50
taXicabs belonging to the New York Tax
icab Co. were stored for the night. rho
explosion shook buildings for blocks and
hundreds of persons in the neighborhood
were thrown into excitement Police de-
tails from many stations were rushed to
the seen" and for time all their efforts
were taxed to the limit in controlling the
great crowd.
The explosion though doing small dam
age to the taxicabs stored in the big en-
closure tore a great hole in the ground
and stampeded a number of special po-
lcemen and trike-breakers who were in
the vicinity. One of the special police
men declares that he saw the bomb
thrown over a high fence around the en-
closure. 1t struck near q big tank Of
gasoline, but fortunately the tank was
not injured and no fire followed thee x
plosion.
Some of the strike leaders expressed a
belief that 1t was not a bomb at all but
an explosion of gasoline due to the mex
pe,ience of some of the men who have
taken the places of .he strikers.
There was continuation tonight OF
the trouble incident to the 1aXicab
strike. Many arrests were made and
many incipient riots were nippaG by
the army Of policemen that has been
especially detailed to watch the situa-
ton.
George A. Levitt, a strike-breaker,
was brutally assaulted in 72nd street
His skull, it is believed. was fractured.
1t is thought he will die. The taXicab
he was driving was ruined
