NO PEACE IN SIGHT
IN EXPRESS STRIKE.
New Jersey Drivers Nu||ify Agreement
That Others Had Reached -Gaynor
Tells Them a Few Plain Facts
Chauffeurs Making a Fight.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE striking
express drivers and helpers of Jersey
City nullified today the agreement
reached early this morning between the
New York strikers and the five trans
continental companies. That agree
ment was conditioned on the consent
of the Jersey men to return to work
and they have refused.
The situation now reverts to pre-
cisely the position it occupied before
Mayor Gaynor took hand in the ne
gotiationS-With this exception, that
the mayor is angry and resolved to

York drivers and helpers who believed
the Jersey men would also ratify the
agreement We're on their wagons to-
day, but if the International Brother
hood Of Transfers makes good its word
they will all be called out again. The
chauffeurs are fighting their own bat
tie and it promises to be Il bitter one
Five hundred cab drivers went out to
aid them today and they all VOW that
they will never go back until the union
is recognized

became known to the brotherhood Off

TO annex MAINE!
This Is The Idea Of a
Canadian Newspaper.
Cites The Advantages 70 Be
Gained BY Such Union.
Thinks Status Of Our citizenship
Would Be Elevated"

Charlottetown, P. E. L., Nov. H.
The political union OF the State OF
Maine with Canada is advocated by
the Charlottetown Daily Guardian.
The Guardian says:
1T is high time that the statesmen
of Canada gave serious consideration
to the possibility, to use no stronger
term. of admitting the adjoining State
of Maine into the Dominion. No doubt
the fact that we have already so vast q
territorial area has shut out for the
time from the minds Of our public men
the desirability of securing any addi-
tiona! land. But now that we have
opened up and developed our great
western heritage and are in sight of
the completion of our second and third
trans-continental railways. it is natur-
al that due attention should be turned
to other matters including the ,rectifi-
cation OF our frontier in the East.
"A glance at the map Is sufficient to
show that the State of Maine belongs
geographically to Canada rather than
to the United States. Being now a for
elgn country, it is to some extent also
an obstacle to the right development
of our great transportation system.
while at the sarne time the State Is
smut out from the great and obvious
advantages which must result from
tie union with Canada, already far
too long delayed. As
I'VE may here set down a few of the
many great gains that would result 70
the people of Maine were they in the
near future to cast in their lot with
u3. 1t is obvious in the first place that
the status OF their citizenship would
at orce be greatly elevated and en-
larged by the change.
Again. instead of an insignificant
representation of two senators and
four congressman at Washington, the
province of Maine would be assured
at least 10 senators and 20 representa-
tives in the House of Commons at OF
tawa, while still retaining her local
Legislature and full powers of local
self-gOvernment as at present.
I'VE have, of course. no desire to Sc
duce our Maine cousins from their
present allegiance to Uncle Sam and
the Stars and Stripes. Any movement
III the direction of union with Canada
must come from them and with Uncle
Sans consent. But the good Uncle
ought to leave Maine free to choose her
own future. and if he will but do 80
Canada will at no very distant date
hope to welcome another province in
the East to our great and growing
Northern dominion

American Flag Burned Thursday
Night at Guadalajaro.

Washington, Nov 11.-American
citizens i'm Mexico have been cautioned
by United States Ambassador H. L.
Wilson to refrain from acts of violence,
because he is convinced that the Mexi-
can government is exerting its best
efforts to suppress the anti American
riots. Mr. Wilson telegraphed the state
department today that he anticipa ted
no further violence and that the
American embassy was being carefully
protected. He reported the arrest OF
81 men for acts of disorder.
Several interviews have been held
between Secretary of State Knox and
Senior De La Barra, The Mexican am
bassadOr, in regard 10 the situation
which has arisen from the lynching of
the Mexican, Rodriguez, at Rock
Springs, Texas, Nov. 8. There is no
doubt that both governments keenly
regret the trouble.
Every effort is being made to pro-
tect Mexican citizens in Texas, Gov
Campbell reported to the state depart
ment today He said that he antici-
pated no further trouble and that the
lynching of Rodriguez was being thor
oughly investigated. All possible as
sistance is being given the Mexican
consul at Eagle Pass, who is endeavor-
ing to identify those responsible for
the lynchng.
