When asked as 10 the condition of

Berlin March 24-The strike of the Reichstag journalists, which began on Thursday last, was settled this even
 ing. Under pressure from the various party leaders, Herr Groeber, the Gen. ter leader. who had called the jour nalists swine" because they jeered at statement used by member to the effect that negroes also had im- mortal souls, read a statement at the end of the days sitting expressing apologies for the language he had used in referring to the journalists.

RELIEF WORK IS ENDED
Poor Committee to Wind Up it's Work
 This Week.

At meeting of the special com
 mittee of five from the city poor re-
 lief committee. held in Mayor Mar
 tins office yesterday afternoon, it
 was decided that the work of the
 committee be closed with the end of this week. The vote was passed by the committee in the belief that the
 work so far as 1t was concerned had
 been fulfilled and that further effort on the part of this city committee would not be necessary, It was an- nounced that the contribution re- ceived as the receipts of the entertain ment given on Sunday evening by the Eagles would be sufficient for the completion of the work the commit tee has in hand and that no further subscriptions be received. Besides this sum turned over by the Eagles committee which was received yester- day there was an addition of $25 in cash, making a total of Sa50 receiv- ed yesterday and this brings the fund up to $4,05620. which will be the final total. Of this sum MT Warden secretary of the committee, reported yesterday that s2,605.S0 had been ex- pended up through yesterday and that there were seventy-one men at work In the city parks who are employed by the committee and that when these men had finished the work for which they had been hired it would exhaust total of s3,500. The committee passed vote that no more men be employed on the park work by the committee. The idea of the commit tee Is that with the approach ot spring the men can find work fol themselves and that the hardest part nf the conditions has heen tidnd over
