CONSIDERS STRIKE AT END
French Government Fears No Further
Spread of Trouble.

Paris, May 17.-The government re-
CARDS the strike of the government
employees, particularly the postmen,
as virtually ended. The bombastic
speeches and resolutions delivered at
the strikers meetings have had no
sequel and the threat of a railroad
strike is considered as a pure bluff.
More strikers have returned to work.
They entered the movement from pro-
fessional motives, but they are now
alarmed by the revolutionary designs
Of the leaders. Moreover, the Cen
eral Federation of Labor, perceiving
that the psychological moment has
passed and that the movement Is
doomed to failure, is no longer anx-
ious to associate itself with a lost
cause.
The cabinet considered the strike
Of the postmen and approved the dis
missal Of 313 additional employees ac-
cused of inciting to revolt.
The text of a new bill definitely reg
ulating the right Of state employees to
form associations, but specifically ex-
Guiding the right to strike, will at
once be submitted to parliament.
Moreover, the cabinet has agreed to
ask the senate to proceed to the con-
sideration of the workmen's pension
bill early in June.

Washington, May 17-As soon as

ate sMf. Gore, the blind senator from
Oklahoma, precipitated a lively de
bate by asking Immediate considera-
tfon Of resolution instructing the
committee on finance to obtain by In

Gus articles of general and ordinary

the resolution is to determine whether
the retailers of the country are prao-

In moving the resolution be re-
ferred to the committee on finance
Mr.. Hale said it conferred no new
authority upon that committee and
could only embarrass it.
Mr.. Johnstone of Alabama treated
the tariff humorously. He congratu-
lated the majority that it had placed
"spunk" on the free list and said if
there was more of that article the Re-
publicans would make a better tariff

When the steel schedule was taken
up Mr.. Aldrich withdrew the amend
ment of the committee on finance in
creasing the duty on structural steel.
from three-tenths to four-tenths of l
cent a pound and the house provision
of three-tenths of / cent per pound
was adopted.
Referring to an amendment to this
paragraph not permitting structural
steel to be assembled when imported
Mr.. Aldrich said:
AIdrich Is Apprehensive.
'The rates of duty in this industry
have been cut nearly one-half and
desire to place on record the great ap-
prehension that we may be commit

! He said the manufacturers of Bel

these rates to send in their structural
iron and steel when they have sur
plus or the conditions warrant such
action.
Senators Cummins, Newlands and

Some Doubt as to Availability Of Ma.

Washington, Dec. 15.--Thc Near
aguan situation has caused navy off,
Gals some perplexity over the avail
ability of marines on the battleships
for service in the country.
The difficulty is due to the provision
tackled to the naval appropriation bill
of the last session of Congress by
which the money was to be available
only on coodition that the marines
were restored to the duties hitherto as
signed to them. The question now
arises as to the availability of the
marines on the vessels of the navy
for duty on shore. There is said to be
no doubt in the minds of naval OFF,
Gals that the marines might be landed
for temporary duty, but if the demand
for service continued the naval off,
Gals are not so sure as to how long
they would be justified in keeping the
marines ashore.

tions to postpone the suggested inves-
tigation of the Nicaraguan situation until
