London Strike
Situation is
Improving
Grievances of Carriers Satisfied and
Settlement with Other Unions is
Expected in Few Hours.

LONDON, Aug. n.-Improvemeat In the
strike situation was evident this morning
and orders for troops to come into the
city were countermanded. Some cavalry
had already gone aboard the special trains
at Aldershot when their officers received
word they were not needed in London.
The trains, however remained on the sid
ings, their locomotives with steam up, so
that they could be moved at a moments
notice.
The settlement of the grievances of the
carriers, who, with the dock laborers whose
demands were satisfied some days ago,
formed the bulk of the strikers, had a
good effect and an adjustment of the diff
ferences Of the water men and lighter
men with their employers was hourly ex-
pected.
AS some Of the dock men returned to
work. the barge men prepared to resume
operations. The streets, however were
still without their usual streams of carts
and residents on the outskirts of the town
felt the shortage Of provisions more
keenly
A considerable amount Of meat reached
Smtthfield market early today. There was
some rioting, but the police had less
trouble than before.
Even should a settlement be reached dur
ing the day with the lighter men and
water men, the business OF London will
not be normal before Monday.

Mayor Bollinger pardoned the woman at
noon today. Mrs. Reese will be released

for four days standing between the judge,
the street commissioners, the police and
the public of lola and some of the public
outside as to whether 1t was indelicate to
compel a woman to don bloomers ahd
break rock.
The pardon was the result of the sudden
determination by the mayor that he had
power to issue 1t. The city attorney, Travis
Morse, has been deluged with letters ask
ing the woman's parole or pardon, and
many contributions of money have been
received to pay her fine.
Today Morse informed the mayor he be-
lieved the official had the power to par
don Mrs. Reese. Mayor Bollinger called
a meeting Of the city commissioners. In
solemn session the commissioners agreed
the mayor right. Chief of Police Coffield
was then ordered to bring about the

kidnapped Boy is
Returned on Payment
of Ransom of $500
Nine Arrests Made by Chicago Police
in Connection with Case-Father
Receives Letter.

CHICAGO, Aug 11.-Angelo Mareno' 3
years old. who was returned last evening
after a ransom of 500 in marked bills had
been paid the kidnapers, was closely
guarded by his parents today
II will never let my darling out Of my
sight again until he is old enough to take
care of himself" sobbed the mother as
she wept with JOY at the child's return
after being held prisoner by kidnapers for
los hours.
The boy sat on his mothers lap this
morning, greeting his playmates and
neighbors who called, and seemed unable
to realize the grief his absence had caused
his parents. He said he was we'll treated
by his kidnapers. They bought new clothes
and gave him candy and cake.
There was rejoicing in the North Side
Italian colony over the boys safe return
and hundreds of neighbors and friends
called at the Mareno home TO congratulate
the parents.
Nine men and three women are under
arrest for the kidnapping and the police ex-
pect to make additional arrests before
night Search is being made for the women
who gurded and cared for the boy in the
West Division street house. An effort
will also be made by the police to recover
the $500 paid as a ransom.
The father Of the boy received a mys-
terious special delivery letter early this
morning and. after reading it, turned 1t
over to the police. He declined to reveal
the contents of the letter. 1t is believed to
have threatened him with death for having
co-operated with the police for the return
OF his child.
Mass was celebrated at st. Philips
Roman Catholic church in Thanksgiving
for the childs safe return, the special
services being attended by several hundred
Italians
Later the text of the letter Antonio Ma
reno, the father, received today became
known. 1t was as follows:
We have kept our agreement with you
now see that you keep your promise Tell
nothing. Your boy has been returned.
You have all you bdrgained for. We have
not harmed him; we have not harmed any
body. We warn you, dirty pig, that II you
break your word vengeance will claim you
and all you hold dear Let the seal OF
silence be on your lips or no torture will
be horrible enough for you.
The police expect to make further ar
rests. They are trying to recover the S50(

bedchamber which he has occupied so long.
