where the last positive evidence ou the
subject left it. A. NJ. Dollar, the act
ing treasurer of the company. through
whose hands all moneys either received
or paid out must pass, was, perhaps, the
most important witness of the day, since
he showed that this large sum had not
been handled in the ordinary course of
business, or, In fact, passed through his
office at all, From this statement and
the previous testimony Of other wit
Dcsses as TO the visits of Rucf 10 Ford s
office, somewhere around the time the
money was conveyed there by Ford and
Abbot, il is the hope of the prosecu-
tion TO convince the jury that no other
deduction is possible but that the money
was paid to Ruef and by him disburscd
to the supervisors. Evidence taken to-
day was all along the line of climina-
tlon of other possible explanations for
the withdrawal from the mint in cash

FRENCH STRIKERS FAIL
TO GAIN PUBLIC SYMPATHY

PARIS. May Both public sympa-
ply and tho. law seem today to be
clearly against the posts, tclegraphs
and telephones employees association,
which yesterday threw down the gage
Of battle to the government by trans
forming itself into a syndicate or union,
under the laws of 1884. This action
ing rs the workmen' 5 unions, and was
calculated to give it the right to strike
against its employer, the state.
The newspapers this morning with
The exception OF the extreme Soc laiisJ
organis are unsparing III their denun-
citation of the stand taken by the asso-
citation as an. act of rebellion and they
urge the government TO proceed with
energy and crush the insurreriion be-
fore the movement cngulfS the other
categorieS Of state employees.
Evidence accumulated today that the
formation of this union yesterday was
only the first step in Il far reaching plan
of the general federation of labor TO
place the entire machinery of the gov
ernment at Its mercy.
The law of 1854 limits unions 10 pro-
fessions and trades engaged in "com-
pctitivc industry and the attorney
general of the republic is expected to
decide summariIy that the syndicate is
illegal and order its dissolution.
As soon as this is done the organizers
of The movement will be subject to
heavy fines and imprisonment if they
persist in meeting.
