DIDN'T SEE IT THE SAME WAY
Father Of Young Missionary Disagreed
Violently with Popular Chinese
Custom.

The young missionary relighted his
cigar.

no trouble in selecting present for
you"
Nor" queried the old man.
No" said the missionary, with a
hearty laugh. The most desirable
present to give old folks is coffin, in
China. Ha. ha. ha! And old folks
like yourself don't mind 1t at all. They
welcome coffin as heartily as you'd
welcome box of Havana regalias."
"Humph!" said the father, grimly.
And if an old Chinaman is ailing,"
said the young missionary he has
your rheumatic complaint, for instance
then he regards a coffin as an espe.
cially thoughtful gift. In fact"
But the missionary's father had sud.

MANAGERS AND SWiTCHMEN

POSSIBILITY OF GENERAL STRIKE
OF ALLIED BRANCHES OF
LABOR UNIONS.

St Paul.-Contrary to expectations,
developments Monday in the contro-
versy between the railroads of the
Northwest and the striking switch
men, instead of resulting in an am
icable settlement Of the strike, result
ed in a wider breach than has here
tofore existed.
Not only have the switchmen de-
clared all negotiations with the rail-
roads off, but the labor leaders say
there is strong possibility of gen
eral strike by the allied orders be-

Several other members of the rail-
way council besides Mr.. Perham have
left for their headquarters to make

Mr.. Perham, in speaking of Mon
days developments. said:

"As the Intervention of the state
authorities have failed, l shall seek
an end to controversy that is caus-
ing bankruptcy and suffering among
innocent people who have no voice in
the matter"
Mr.. Perham would not state to
which department at Washington he
would appeal. He said he may seek
to interest the Interstate Commerce
commission and he may take the mat
tel up directly with President Taft.
In the conference between the rail
roads and the labor leaders the rail
road officers refused to take back all
the switchmen at once, but agreed
to re-employ all those they have places
for. They gave the switchmen until
12 o'clock Wednesday to accept this
offer. The offer was Immediately re-
jected by the labor leaders.
Asked as to how long it would take
to call general strike, if such action
is decided upon, Mr.. Perham said:
Some of the orders can be called
out Immediately. There would be
some delay in calling out others, be.
cause of difference in the method
of procedure in such cases.

MORE FIGHTING IN VIEW

# Washington, December 2S.-General Es- trada, the revolutionary leader in Nioa- .ragua, will not accept the extraordinary Terms proposed by the new president, :Aiadriz. as basis for peace
 A telegram from Bluefields received late Mast night states that on the 22d inst. Madrtz had proposed in a telegram to fEstrada a suspension of hosrilities pend ing the arrival of commission which he was sending to Estrada to discuss an am- icable settlement of the war. Madriz begged the revolutionary leader not to obstruct him in peace terms.
 Estrada in his reply expressed his will ingness to meet the Madriz commission .ers, but said the revolutionary party zwould not recognize the action Of the leg }1slative assembly in placing power Tn the thands of Madriz. He denied most en- sphatically the assembly's right to deal with the election of a president, and stated he saw in Msdfiz the usuroer of the rights of the Nicaraguaff people. 2
 The terms upon which Madriz is willing to make peace, 1t is believed, are shown in letter which purports to have been signed by him and addressed to friend. In it he expressed his desire for peace without further bloodshcd and stated that whatever might he proposed co,npat- ible with his dignity md with the public interests he was willing to accept. He says further that the revolutionists should recognize his government and that after such recognition, both armies should be disbanded, all arms and ammunition being turned over to him. He st ates that he would recognize the debts and con-
