Bangor, Me, Jan. 23.-1t became
known, tonight, that strike of the

rived in Bangor. this morning. Mr..
Murdoch said, when asked if strike
is contemplated:
These two organizations. acting
jointly several weeks ago presented
to the Bangor & Aroostook manage
ment a formal request for shorter
hours and increased pay, the manage
ment being given until next Monday.
Jan. 2, to make reply. Thus far. no
reply has been received. If, on or be-
fore Jan. y, the request is granted.
then of course, the matter will be
ended If no reply should be received

sion for further consideration.
The matter would rest with the
men, not with the national officers of
the order This matter has nothing to
do with the strike of the engineers
and tiremen-There is no thought of a
sympathetic strike, the case of the
conductors and trainmen standing on
its own merits
President Todd of the Bangor &,

quest of the conductors and trainmen
had been received by the general
manager Of the company. and that a

American charge at London, by the
fiat statement that he cannot agree
with the British Interpretation of the
canal treaties so far as they limit
the freedom of action of America or
infringe British treaty rights. Point
ing out that the Grey note was issued
without consideration of the Presi-
dents toll proclamation the Secretary
states that Sir Edward deals chiefly
with the possibilities of what the
President might do under the canal
act, whereas the proclamation has en-
tirely changed the situation.
Regarding Three Objections.
Taking up the three objections made
by the British government, Secretary
Knox first discusses that which ap-
plies to the exemption from tolls of
the government vessels of Panama.
This he declares to be a great and
complete surprise to the United States.
which always had asserted without
challenge that the status of the coun-
tries Immediately concerned by reason
of their political relation to the terri
tory in which the canal was to be
of all other countries. He does not
believe therefore that the British gov
eminent intended to propose arbitra
ton of this question. In regard to a
second British objection. that the
Panama canal act might he thought to
confer upon the President the power
to discriminate in the use of the canal
in favor of all ships belonging TO the
United States and its citizens, even in
the foreign trade By granting them
reduced tolls. the note quotes from
the memorandum attached to the
canal act by the President, when it
was signed.
1T is not therefore necessary to dis
cuss the policy of such discrimination
until the question may arise in the
exercise of the Presidents discretion. 3"
AS no question has yet arisen on this
point which, in the words of the
existing arbitration treaty lit may not
have been possible TO settle by diplo-
macy" the note holds that the sug-
gestion of arbitration is premature.

''Barbary Coast Passes in
Final Night of Revelry

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The
Barbary Coast of San Francisco,
known to tourists the world over, cell
brated it's final passing last night.
with a revel that packed its resorts
to suffocation and thronged its streets
with thousands of lockers on.
Promptly at midnight the police
commissions ruling preventing the
further sale of liquor by women went
into effect, and in a last effort to
prolong the night life there was a
sudden switch from cocktails to
grape juice. The police permitted
this subterfuge last night, bur the
word went forth hereafter that only
straight saloons, from which women
will be barred either as entertainers
or as visitors. are to be permitted,
regardless OF the nature Of the drinks
served.
Between five and eight hundred
women and girls suddenly thrown
upon their own resources affords n
problem that the reform forces that
forced the closing of Barbary Coast
are striving to meet.

Riotous scenes, almost eliminating in
the lynching of the actors who repre-
scented Turks, marked the first per-
Torrance last night of King Nicho-
lass play, THE Siege of Scutari."
When the actor who played the role
of Essad Pasha came on the stage the
tumult became deafening. A youth
sprang on the platform. revolver in
hand, and with difficulty was re-
strained from shooting the actor.
When the third act showed the Turks
in full retreat the audience made a
rush for the stage with the intention
of lynching the wearers of the fez.
The police were compelled to use
faxie TO restrain the frantic people.
