tspecial from United Press,

SS.t
 Philadelphia, Feb. 25-This afternoon the Rapid Transit Company announc- ed that it had resumed practically it's usual car service; that it had 4,0OO men at work and that the strike, so far as the company is concerned. is broken.
 The company declared the 4,000 men at work are not pl lofessional strike breakers, but competent street car men who would, under no circum- stances. be dismissed to make way for returning strikers.
 Cars are being natronized freely and no disorder is feared.
 Mayor Reyturn said to the United Press this afternoon:
 sI am sure the trouble is over and that things will soon be on a normal basis. When you see that women shoppers are using the cars free.y, has been restored"
 The probability of q general strike of the 100000 union men in Phila- eelphia in sympathy for the street car men grows more remote 1aily.
 At meeting of the representatives of the Central I abo1 union and other unions held last night action on the pcned until next Saturday when there is proposed to be held great mass meeting in Philadelphia It was de. cided that if a general strike should he called no terms would be made with the street car company until il had resumed the sale of six street ear tickets for a quarter. The uninr men believe this will be popular move and gain sympathy for them.
 As soon as the strike leaders We're notified of this action they sent a set of resolutions signed by Peter Dris- coll and Secretary Barron Of the street car mems union, to the Centra1 Labor Union and the Building Trades Council, declaring that the car mer had the strike situation we'll Tn hand and did not believe a general strike would be necessary.
 Only a few disorders resulted last night from the resumption of the night service, and they were easily checked by the authorities. The state police refused to permit any gather irgs and brooked no resistance. The most serious affray of las night occurred in Germantown ave nue when a crowd of strikers stopped g. car. Policemen on the front plat form fired into the crowd, bullet striking Michael Kenney, IS, in the arm. When the crowd had been dls. persed, Police Lieutenant Johnson discovered that the first brick thrown had broken his collarbone.

London. Feb. 25.-Under the hea viest pressure Premier AsQuith surrendered today to the newly-created alliance, made up of the Radicals in his own party and the Irish National'sts and Laborites. and agreed to introduce the measure for the limitation of the Lords veto and the budget simultan- eously.
 The plan is to force vote on the veto ahead of the budget. It is con- ceded that the House of Lords will reject the measure when the Premier will make his demand upon the King for the Crowns appointment of enough Liberal peers to insure the passage of the veto measure.
 If the King accedes the crisis will be passed in safety. but if he refuses. the cabinet will resign immediately, without even passing the budget or providing for the Royal salary list.
 This will force a new election on the issue of the Lords veto. Today'S ar ransement is unofficial but it bears the approval of all the Liberal. Labor ite and Nationalist leaders and is be- iieved to be as binding as a formal compact.
 The climax of the situation will come in about three days. Asquith's offic- ial head depends on his fealty to the new program. Should he show the slightest hesitancy. his leadership will

The murder trial of Clara Sprague and Fred Raynor took on something of the aspect of a clinic for the con- sideration of kidney disease and it's eff feet on the human organism today. Counsel for the defense entered into lengthy cross examination of the medical witnesses Dr. F. B. Downs and pr. David M. Trecartin. One line of questioning was directed to showing that the dead teamster. Mullen, might have sustained his fatal wound by a fall. Another line of questioning was as to whether the kidney disease with which Mullen suffered might not have produced convulsions, or hastened his death by lowering his resistance.
 The doctors adhered firmly to their belief that death was caused by blow on the side of the head They both declared that Mullen, despite his kid ney trouble and his 'wet brain, might have continued to live for years.
 The third states witness called was Emil Nelson, janitor of the Staples building on State and Court streets. Ills evidence was intended to show that the Sprague woman was seen der, and that she lured him to her apartments. The cross examination of pr. Downs begun yesterday was con- tinued.
 Isn't the part of the skull where th.. blow was struck thicker tran aay tler part" asked Attorney Phclan.
 Yes, there are thinner places re- piled pr. Downs.
 'tWas it possible, the way the body lay, to have the confused condition of the scalp happen by the blood rnshing to that spot?'
 Impossible"
 Tt could happen by a fall?"
 Ut could have happened by a sand bag or fst?''
 Would the congestion you found ever the left ear have anything to do with the congestion on the spine?''

 ''He might have had.''
 What was the cause of death in this case?''
 ''Concussion of the brain" You are sure of that?" Quite sure.'' ''Was the concussion you saw, a symptom of something else? ?'' ''I cannot answer that" "Can you tell me the percentage of cases that die from concussion? "I cannot tell.''

 New York, Feb. 25.-While Jacob Greenthal lies at the point of death in the French hospital the police are today making every effort to locate the five men who trailed him all yes terday afternoon in a taxi-cab and then, when they found him, stabbed him eight times and tried to cut his tongue out. Greenthal positively re- fuses to state who his assailants were.
 The police theory is that the at tempted murder is a part of a political feud. They believe that the attempt to kill him resulted from his inclination to divulge political secrets.
 The five men had searched a number of saloons before they finally located Greenthal. While three men held him and another stood by to prevent in- terference, a fifth man cut and slash ed him and then cut his tongue fear- fully in an attempt to cut it out.

INSULT TO JAPANESE.

The superior" Caucasian Ameri-
cans in Pasadena, California, decided
that they are too good to attend a
function in honor of the officers of
the Japanese squadron now at Los
Angeles, so the hotel proprietor called
the reception off.
This action was regarded by the
Japanese admiral as a direct insult to
his nation and Cancelled his invitation
for return dance on his ship. The
Japanese officers have been treated
with the greatest consideration by all
of European nations and it remained
for the silly Caucasian Americans to
insult people who are in every respect
their equal and in many ways supe-
rior. Evidently they don't seem to
realize how small such actions make
them appear in the eyes of the civiliz-
ed world.
THE APPEAL hopes that the fool
Caucasian Americans. will some days
acquire some good common sense.

BENEFACT0R OF THE CATS
New York Man Who Goes About
Spreading catnip for Their
Dedication.

"A black cat lay sleeping on a Sun
day afternoon downtown behind q
grating protecting the steps leading
to an Office building. Along the street
came a man, who spied the cat and
stopped with glistening eye.
He drew from his coat pocket a
small pasteboard box and from it he
sprinkled some stuff on the lower
step. He Kissed and called to the cat,
which lazily opened one eye, but went
back to sleep again.
"A cat poisoner," thought one on
locker. Then he asked: what is
that stuff?'
"Catnip," replied the man with the
pasteboard box, in accents that made
it unmistakable that he was German.
Il always carry it around and when
ever see cat l sprinkle some on it.
The cats like it and like cats, so I
give them what enjoyment 1 can"
He went on his way and the other
stayed to see what would happen. OF
a sudden the sleeping cat started up,
it's nose twitching like rabbits, and
began to crawl slowly toward the cat
nip. Then it made a jump for the
stuff and fairly rolled in it. 1t came
pretty near being a catnip jag for
pussy.-New York Sun.
