CHICAGO. Feb. 5. To-day Is the anniversary of the calling of the big strike in the Chicago building trades, and the trouble if not settled. It has been one of the most remarkable struggles in the annals of labor. The great interests and the large number of men Involved, and the fact that nearly the entire building operations of so large a city were kept at a standstill for a year, show the magnitude of the strike. The terrorizing of the city by riots and assaults for a time watf' another feature which has left a vivid Impression. It is believed by contractors, architects and owners that, although final settlement agreements have not been reached with a number of the trades, the blight of the pnst year will be raised at the opening of the coming building season. By the strike 30,000 men In the building Industry were kept out of employment and 60,000 In the trades manufacturing building material. Most of these were able to keep their families from suffering by doing odd Jobs at anything which offered. It Is estimated that J5O.0ciO.00O In contracts for buildings and in plans Jn the architects' offices were held up for a year by the trouble. San Boycott Lifted. NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Typographical Union No. 6 has decided by formal vote to withdraw the boycott against the New York Sun and to take no further hostile etepa against that newspaper. Official notice that the strike has been called off and tha boycott lifted was delivered to the Sun to-day. This action of the union was unsolicited by the Sun and was unattended by any conditions.

IT'S ALL GREEK TO HIM

FIGHT MA.N'AGCIl LAWS OX KXOWS .NOTHING AltOtT FIGHTS. Ills Examination at Cincinnati Makes Plenty of Fuu llultlin und Jeffries Busy Training. CINCINNATI. Feb. 5.-Arguments and testimony were heard to-day before Judge Holllster, of the Common Fleas Court, on an application for an Injunction against the Jeffrles-Ruhlln prize fight in this city, on Feb. 13. There was first an attempt by the defense to dismiss all members of the Saengerfest board who were not members of the Athletic Association.- There are eleven of the thirty-three Included in this list. Attorney General Sheets, who represents Governor Nash and the State, protected, and asked for a temporary injunction against the eleven who have not filed an answer. Court decided that an injunction later could go out to these eleven. After considerable sparring among the attorneys it was then decided that the case would proceed 'cn Its merits for a permanent injunction rather than for a temporary restraining order, but the defense reserved the right of appeal to higher courts. Judging from th slow progress made to-day and the long list of witnesses. It is believed now that the hearing will not be completed this week, and that the decision of Judge Holllster may not he had before next week. After submitting the contracts and other documents only four witnesses were examined to-day, as follows: Herman Witte, an attorney, who was the middleman between the pugilists and the Saengerfest Athletic Association; E. G. Cook, the personal representative of Manager William A. Brady; I. N. Miller, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and Fenton Lawson, who is a director and secretary 0 both the Saengerfest Musical Association and the Saengerfest Athletic Association. Mayor Fleischmann and other important witnesses were on hand to testify, but they were not called, owing to the long examination of Lawson. The feature of the day was the examination of Fenton Lawson. The members of the Saengerfest Athletic Association are all prominent business men and none of them is what is known as an athlete, although they reorganized their musical as sociation Into an athletic assoclaton. after Attorney Witte succeeded in his negotia tions with Manager Brady for Jeffries and Ruhlin to meet here on Feb. 15. Lawson was closely examined as to what he knew about music and the manly art. lie was an expert witness In the former and caused much laughter in his replies to qiestlons regarding boxing exhibitions. II-. could not repeat any of the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry or any of the theory and practice of the ring. All the other members of the Saengerfest Athletic Association were present and heard tho ordeal through which Mr. Lawson passed, and it is understood that they will all be called on to. pass through a similar examination. As Mr. Lawson is a leader in musical circles he was questioned closely as to the rates charged at operas, concerts and theaters as compared to the rates the Saengerfest Athletic Association was gettine for seats for the Jeffrles-Ruhlin performance. Lawson was also closely questioned regarding the repeated interviews of himself and his associates with . Mayor FleiMchmann, who gave them .1 permit for the contest, and Lawson said the mayor die? not think the Governor would interfere. Lawson insfsted that the Saengerfest Athletic Association intended to proceed within the bounds of the law, as its permit from Mayor Fleischmann was for a boxing contest and not for a prize fight. The attorneys for the injunction questioned him regarding all the fights that both Jeffries and Ruhlin had participated in. and then called special attention to the recent statement of Ruhlin that there wouW be a new champion of the world on the morning of Feb. 16. When asked whether the world championship would be rettled or determined in a boxing contest that would come within the provisions of tho Ohio statutes, the witness stated he did not know anything about that line 0 work. There is an unusually brilliant array of attorneys on both sides, and the witnesses, who are members for the most part of the Saengerfest Athletic Association, ans prominent business men, so that the hearing brings out very many amusing Incidents. The attorneys to-day Insisted to Mr. Lawson that he was a very queer director of an athletic association when he knew nothing of the records of Jeffries or Ruhlin or of men who had preceded Jeffries as the holder ot the belt. Th; promoters of the fight to-night insist that they are more confident than ever that the fight will be pulled oft here. Jeffries never let up on his training to attend tho trial, and Ruhlin resumed his training in the afternoon. The sale of tickets to-day was unusually large, and all the preparations for the event are going ahead the same as it there was no opposition.Governor Yates Outwitted. ELGIN, 111., Feb. 5. The Croake-Jackson prize fight, which last night was prohibited at Bclvldere by Governor Yates, was pulled off at Gilberts, Kane county, early to-day. A special train with 500 on board reached that village soon after midnight. A hall was immediately secured and the fight took place. There are no police, save the village marshal, and there was no Interference. The men fought twelve rounds. Croake did the heaviest work during the first seven rounds, but then showed weakness and was knocked out in the twelfth. He was counted out, but soon revived. Young Wolcott Knocked Out. GALENA, Kan. Feb. 5. Eddie K. Morris, of San Francisco, last night knocked out young Wolcott, of New York, in the seventeenth round of what 'was to have been a twenty-flve-round glove contest. Both fought hard and" Wolcott was the favorite up to the fourteenth round, when after a lively mix-up and a breakaway the New Yorker fell from the stage to the floor and Injured his right arm. Colored Pnstllst May Dir. CINCINNATI, Feb. 5. Fred Hllson, the colored pugilist, who was knocked out in a glove contest by John Kramer Monday n:ght. Is In a very serious condition, and the physicians at the hospital to-nlcrht have little hope for his recovery. The contest took place at Uhrlg's Hall at Reading, O.. about eleven miles north of thi. city. None of the participants have been arrested as yet. SSSSSBBSSBSBSSBBBBSÄBBSSBSBSSBBSBSBBSBM H0YTS WILL CONTESTED. Formal Notice Filed ly Two Cousins of the Lnte Playwright. NEW YORK, Feb. 5. Formal notice of contest of the will of the late Charles II. Hoyt, tho playwright, was filed with the surrogate. The contestants are Joseph B. Hoyt, of Nashua, N. II.. and Ella M. Green, of Concord, N. II., cousins of Mr. Hoyt. Mr. Hoyt, who died recently, left a will bearing date Oct. 15, 1S0S. The will was subsequently offered for probate by Frank McKN burineM partner of Mr. Hoyt and one of the executor? of the will. The question of Jurisdiction is made one of the principal points of contention under the objections filed. It is probable an effort will be made to have the legal proceedings transferred to New Hampshire. The petition alleged undue influence on the part of Mr. McKee. It is also asserted that the will Is not the last will of the testator. By the terms of the will offered by Mr. McKee, Mr. Hoyt disinherited all his relatives. The Lambs' Club and the Actors' Fund were the principal beneficiaries under the will. Mr. McKee also came in for a share of the estate. Klntr Edward's Heir Com In sr. NEW YORK. Feb. 5.

A requisition for him was procured through the State Department. POISONED HER CHILDREN. Mother Gave Carbolic Acid to Two and Tried to Kill Herself. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5. Mrs. Bertha Fox, aged twenty-six years, residing near Fox Chase, a suburb of this city, was found in her home to-night writhing In agony from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid, while In a crib near by lay the body of her two-year-old child, killed by the poison, and on the lloor beside her was her boy John, aged four years, unconscious from the same cause. The woman's husband, John Fox, was discovered In bed In a drunken sleep.' He was arrested, but was vnable to give the coroner or police officials any information concerning the affair. Mrs. Fox and her son were conveyed to a hospital in this city, where their condition is regarded as critical. The woman said she was sorry she was alive. It is believed that Mrs. Fox administered the poison. STOLE A MARCH. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Hadley is a small man. lie is quick and wiry, however, and was punishing the negro badly when a policeman arrested both for fighting. Numerous fights took place over the same topic. Kansas avenue, the principal street of this city, has been lined all day with excited little groups discussing the situation. Mrs. Nation addressed her recruits and sympathizers at the Christian Church here to-night. The church was crowded to the doors and the saloon destroyer was given an ovation. Mrs. Nation to-day Issued the following proclamation to the school children of Topeka: "My Precious Little Children I .send you greeting and ask you to help me destroy that which is In the streets and protected by the police and city officials to destroy you, my darlings. I want every one of you little ones to grab up a rock and smash up the glass doors and windows of these hell holes. You will do your duty and enroll your names on the pages of undying fame and place yourself on the side of God and humanity. Your loving friend. "UAUlllH IMAT1UXM." John r? Nicholson, a lawver from New ton, is here with a bill he has prepared to legalize Joint smashing. He claims that a legislator has promised to introduce the bill for the consideration of the Legislature, Mr. Nicholson says that Mrs. Nation violates no law when she smashes property that is being used for unlawful purposes, and by legalizing her methods by passing nis Dili tne worK 01 unving out mt? jwuw would be greatly facilitated. , NOT WANTED IX CHICAGO. John G. Woolley Opposed o Mrs. Na tion' Proposed Visit. CHICAGO, Feb. 5. John G. Woolley. candidate for President of the United States on the Prohibition ticket in 1900, while commending the course of Mrs. Nation In Kansas, deprecates her proposed visit to Chicago. Mr. Woolley takes the position that the saloons of Chicago are licensed by the law and that no one has a right to interfere with them except the State Legislature. Speaking of Mrs. Nation's proposed visit Mr. Woolley said: "I think it is no wonder that Mrs. Nation and those with her have felt driven to so violent a course In opposing the saloons of Kansas and showing their resentment at the betrayal ot the law by the officials of that State, especially the Governor, who has at all times the power to enforce the law with a good measure of success, and I feel a great deal of sympathy for these unpopular crusaders. I have heard that Mrs. Na tion and her followers are planning a crusade in Chicago. It seems to me that such action would deprive them of much of the sympathy they have aroused and In a great measure destroy their further usefulness. The saloon is perfectly lawful in Chicago and entitled to the protection of the law under which it exists, and I should be surprised if even our strong temperance people in Chicago did not resent the removal of the Kansas fight, which has in It at least some measure of righteousness, to this city, where, as the law stands, it would certainly be wrong. The saloons of Chicago, it Is true, habitually and perf latently defy the Sunday law and other estrlctive provisions; but the appropriate remedy for that. It seems to me, would not be the interference of citizens of another State, however well disposed." God Asked to Bless Her. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 5. At the monthly meeting of the Federation of Unions of the W. C. T. U., held to-day, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That as American women are taxed without representation, and having no power to protect their homes from the liquor curse, therefore we have no unkind words for Mrs. Nation, who, armed with her hatchet, is a terror to the evildoers of the State of Kansas." Mrs. Perkins, president of the federation, in conducting devotional exercises, asked the blesslii: of God on Mrs. Nation and "her honorable works of attempting to destroy the liquor traffic of this country," and prayed that the minds of other women might be filled with the honorable example set by her. Mnst Keep Away from Sioux City. SIOUX CITY, la., Feb. 5.-The City Council to-night unanimouslj passed a strong resolution declaring that If Mrs. Nation comes to Sioux City, as it has been announced is her Intention, none of her saloon-smashing work will be tolerated, but that she will be arrested and punished. The resolution Is worded in dignified language, and throughout refers to Mrs. Nation's alleged intended acts as "illegal." The W. C. T. U. of Sioux City is divided in opinion ns to the reception she should receive here, some members declaring In emphatic language that her work would be encouraged. Saloon Kerpen "Warned. IIARPhrt, Kan., Feb. 5. A committee of the leading women of Harper visited the "joints" this morning and insisted that they be closed at once. It is expected that Mrs.. Nation's tactics will be resorted to if the request of the women Is not granteU. Favors Carrie Nation's Methods. BURLINGTON, la.. Feb. 5. Mrs. Marlon II.

Five Thousand Signatures Obtained ly Buencnmlno Itepresentntlves Editors Under the Dan. MANILA, FeD. 5. A representative of the Federal party, who has returned here after organizing branches in the Island of Marindique, brought rolls containing five thousand signatures of membership. He says this will result in the termination of the Insurrection in Marindique. The new camp of General Trias, commanding the insurgents in the southern district, which was occupied by 250 men with 130 rifles, under General Gomez, was captured and destroyed Sunday by the Forty-sixth Regiment. A number of houses, large barracks and quantities of supplies were destroyed. The occupants escaped, except one man, who was killed, and two men who were wounded. The enemy's losses in the department of Vlsayas, for January, deaths, captures and surrendered are 54 officers, 560 men and 240 stands of arms. The editors of three of the dozen Spanish papers in Manila are liable to be deported to the Island of Guam. Salas, the editor of the Diarlo. whose paper was suspended Friday last by the provost marshal, has been in custody since then. He shows no indication of penitence. His paper has twice been suppressed and he only resumed pub llcation a few months ago. Provost General Dell said, to-day, that the true reason for Salas s action was that he was on the verge of financial dissolution, and after having been warned, he published denunci ations of the Federal party s peace ef forts, on purpose to be suppressed and then pose as a marjyr. Two Spanish papers, which are ostentatiously sympathetic with Salas's course, are being closely watched for seditious utterances. Buencamlno Is endeavoring, by letters and circulators, to spread his ideas in the provinces. Friars Seeking: the Tope's Aid. MADRID. Feb. 5.

I place that stu pendous bonded debt which Spain fastened cn the revenues of Cuba Just before bpan:sh sovereignty was destroyed in tho island by this country's armed intervention. That debt. . as I recollect it, .was between JÖ00.000.000 and $700.000.000. and noz $100.000,000, as is so generally stated by the newspapers. I recall distinctly the efforts that were made, while we were negotiat ing the peace treaty at Paris, to have U3 make provisions for the payment of mat debt. This we had neither the desire nor the power to do. I do not hesitate to say that ve now owe it to Cuba to get Into tho Constitution by some means a clause plainly, positively and unequivocally repudiating that debt. If this is not done Cuba will start with a burden that will crush her. Cuba never can pay the stupendous sum which was assessed against her revenues, though I feel certain that Spain and France, whose citizens own nearly all ths bonds, which they purchased for the most part at very low figures, will demand full payment Just as soon as Cuba is declared an independent sovereignty. By what method we can get an outright repudia tion of this enormous debt in the Cuban Constitution I am not now prepared to say. That will have to be determined by fu ture events. I am certain hat Congress cannot approve, reject or in any way amend or modify the Cuban Constitution. pi events that. But 1 see nothing In the v ay of Congress discussing the Cuban Constitution at the proper time, and advising tho Cubans what to do with that instrument for their own food." Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, Is quoted, after some comment by him on the Teller , resolution, as follows: "Wtj freed Cuba and therefore are responsible for her welfare. But the Cubans have not had the grciousness or gratitude to put into their Constitution a single word indicating that they owe anything to this country.- At the same time, if Cuba should bo attacked the Cubans would look to us to save them, and who doubts that wi wculd do this with our money and blood, if necessary? Suppose, for example, that Frarce or Spain, one or both, whose citizens own that snormous bonded debt put upon Cuba, should send warships into the harbor of Havana, the capital of free, Independent and sovereign Cuba, to enforce the payment of those bonds. Would. not Cuba serd up to us a pitiful wall for help, and would we not have to go to her rescue with our warships and our armies? This is in no sense an impossibility, as long as there is nothing In the Constitution the organic law of Cuba recognizing the right of the United States to exercise general supervision over Cuban affiairs and destiny. "But this is too big a question to be discussed off-hand It involves some very serious and extremely delicate matters, nd calls for caution, calm Judgment and farsightedness. I do not know what th outcome will be, but I do know that thi.. government should not be hurried into a final determination of the status of Cuba." PAINTINGS SEIZED. Valuable Pictures Appraised Too Low In the Invoice. NEW YORK. Feb. 5. For several days the customs authorities have maintained an air of mystery about a consignment Of valuable paintings received here from Paris. They acknowledged to-night that a rormal seizure or the pictures had been made on the ground of undervaluation in the invoice. The paintings, twelve in numter, arrived here more than a week ago. They were consigned to Michail Van Gelder, an artist, and were sent to the appraiser's stores for examination. Appraiser Wakeman. Influenced largely by the names of the artists who had executed the paintings, formed the opinion that tho valuation of $4,000 placed upon them in the Invoice was ridiculously low. Among the pictures are two by Rubens, one of which represents the Holy family. This painting alone is said to be worth more than the Invoiced value of the entire col lection. Other artists represented include Bcticelli, Velasques and Constable. Ex perts declare that 518,000 Is a modest esti mate of the value of the pictures.
