In almost continuous' conference and

'every, effort "was put forth to effect an .amicable settlement. Both sides" displayed fairness and. both were anxious to reach a "final conclusion without radical "action. AH of to-day was occupied In conference, and at 6 o'clock to-night the matter was settled. By & o'clock the papers had been signed and the Wabash wage controversy was at an end.. Just prior to the dissolution of-the Injunction, the Issuance of which he was largely Instrumental in obtaining. President Ramsey -was called to Cairo, Egypt, by the illness of his daughter. He was scheduled to arrive there to-day. During his absence H. W. Ashley has been the acting head of the system. - , Mr. Ashley said to-night: "The settlement is entirely satisfactory to the Wabash Railroad Company, excepting in a few unimportant details,-but they were not of enough moment to cause a delay In coming to an agreement. There Is now no reason why the relations between the Wabash Company and its employes shall not be perfectly harmonious." Col. Wells II. Blodgett, chief counsel for the Wabash, said: "The controversy has at last been settled after considerable hard work by Attorney Judson for the employes, myself and the others interested. We have had a hard strug-gle on both sides, but all differences are now abrogated, and the Wabash Company is entirely satisfied with the result." Grand Master John J. Ilannahan, of the firemen, satd to-night: "The result of this controversy and settlement has unquestionably elevated labor to a higher plane in the business world than any other controversy that has ever taken place during the existence of railroad organizations. I fam glad we were able to adjust our diffi culties without resorting to forcible means." Vice Grand Master . W G. Lee, . of the trainmen, said: "This is unquestionably one of the greatest victories that labor has won, and while our committees have been compelled to stay here several months they feel fully repaid." . J. It. Courtney, ' chairman of the . trainmen's committee of the Wabash, said: "This controversy has had a tendency to bring the employers . and the employes closer together." , Attorney F. N. Judson, representing the employes, said: "This system of arbitration has brought satisfactory results. Since the dissolution of the Injunction we have been in almost constant conference with the Wabash officials and the differences have been squarely met by both sides." Grand Master Ilannahan will leave tomorrow for Chicago to meet the grievance committee of the Illinois Central firemen. Vice Grand Master Leo will leave to-morrow for Denver to confer with the grievance committees of trainmen of the Colorado Midland and the Colorado Southern railroads. ORDERED FROM NAVY YARD. Walktnir Delegate jvot Permitted to - Tamper with "Worklngmen. NEW YORK. April 4. Under orders of Rear Admiral Rodgers, commandant at the New York navy yard. C. S. Massey, walking delegate of the housesmlths' union, was yesterday escorted to the gate of the yard by a detachment of naval police and marines and warned not to return under penalty of arrest by the federal authorities. Massey gained entrance to the yard for the purpose ot Inducing the derrick men on the battleship Connecticut to stop werk, and it Is reported that as a result of his visit three-fourths of the men have left their places. . Commandant Rodgers, after an interview with Naval Constructor Capps, decided to adopt drastic measures, and his interview with Massey was sharp and to the point. When the delegate attempted to reply the commandant summoned Sergeant McDougall, his orderly,, and ordered him to call the naval police and-seö to it that Massey was escorted beyond the gate. WASHINGTON. April 4. Acting Secretary Darling received in the morning mail a report from RearAdrairal Rodgers, commandant at the New York navy yard, upon the ejectment from that yard yesterday of a walking delegate, one 0. S. Massey, representing the housesmlths union, of New York. Admiral. Itodgers's statement Is a tempernte" review of the conditions, which led up to his action. Seven or eight workmen, he says, were approached by Massey. They yielded to his demands and quit work. These men were employed by a contractor to install the big derrick which will handle the material for the battleship Connecticut, and' the extent of the admiral's activity was simply to prevent Interference with the workingmen while in the limits of the navy yard. - As the case now stands, In view of Admiral Rodgers's statement, the department does not feel called upon to take any action. INJUNCTION GRANTED. Striking:' Employes of the American Bridge Company Restrained. . . MARIETTA O., April 4. The American Bridge Company, through Its local attorneys, to-day applied before Probate Judge Nixon for an Injunction against the strikers who had been employed on the company's local contract. District Superintendent Webster signed the affidavit, which sets out the following: For the past several weeks there has been a sympathtlc strike on the structure being erected for the Ohio River Bridge and Ferry Company, to which the plaintiff Is under bond and contract for an early completion of the work. The plaintiff has suffered losses by delays which cannot be estimated, and. as the defendants have no property, the plaintiff SNAPPY STYLES the Hat you want.

has no recourse. Three different employes of the plaintiff have been assaulted by the strikers and but one of the assailants has been arrested. Ills fine was paid by the In-" ternatlonal Bridge Workers' Union. Under present conditions the company is compelled to keep a guard of fifteen men. entailing a heavy expense. It Is impossible, then, to secure a sufficient number of workmen to complete the contract on account Of intimidations offered by the - defendants. After careful consideration of the case the court granted a temporary restraining order enjoining the strikers from Interfering" In any, way with the employes or property of the American Bridge Company.

TROUBLE IS rEXNSYLVAXL.. Anthracite Miner Lr Down ' Their Tools After Working? Eight Honrs.' PHILADELPHIA, April 4. A disagreement between the mine operators and miners to-day regarding the strike commission's rullnff on the number of hours to 'constitute a day's work, , resulted ? In the closing of many collieries throughout the anthracite region. - The greatest dissatisfaction was expressed In the lower region and in Pottsville, Shamokln. Mahanoy City and contiguous towns, and most of the miners were Idle part of the day. At ome of the collieries the men laid down their tools after they had worked eight hours, and at others' they remained in the mines nine hours, but refused to work ten hours when requested to do bo by the superintendents. The operators assert that they will ray the men only for the time worked, and the miners assert that is a violation of the agreement. Meetings of the local unions were held and In most cases the miners decided to return to work on Monday and to submit the question to Joint conciliation committees of operators and mine workers,, as suggested by the commission. STRIlvU OVER PIE. Six-Cat Piece Cause Telephone Linemen to Wnlk Oat. BOSTON, April 4. The boarding house six-cut pie has been responsible for many ills and pains, but never before a cause for a genuine strike. But a strike this pie has: caused, and eighteen linemen working at Boylston for the American Telephone and Telegraph Company quit work because of it. According to the men who quit the gang was getting tired of what was dished to them at a boarding house. They claimed better food should be served for S5.25 per week and appointed Patrick Birmingham to have a talk with John Murphy, one of the bosses. It was thought a few words from him would bring back the four-cut piece. . Birmingham, the hero, was discharged on Thursday. His fellow-workmen thought their protector was being persecuted for acting as mouthpiece, so they all went to Worcester after being paid and said unkind things of the telegraph company. Bread and butter, with an occasional plate of hash, were the principal factors of the boarding house menu card according to the linemen. They said that the boarding mistress knew more ways of preparing and serving hash than any other woman in Worcester county. Glaaa "Workers Scale Not Fixed. CINCINNATI, April 4.-The International Glass Workers' Association, which has been in session here all week, adjourned to-day. The convention was not able to take action In the matter of fixing a uniform rate for glass workers, of the country and referred It to the general council. An effort is to be made to end the Cincinnati strike and until there is a settlement the National Association will support the local workers in the stand they have taken. The place for the next national convention Is to be selected by a referendum vote. General Labor Xevra. Cleveland plumbers have been granted their request for a raise, in wages. Hereafter they will receive 4 for an eight-hour day, an advance of 60 cents a day. The employers promise to employ only union labor. The United Brotherhood of Taper Makers has served a demand upon the manufacturers for a shorter work day, and It is said a strike Is probable. Three thousand men. in Wisconsin employed In fifteen mills will be affected. . .' - The strike of architectural Iron workers, which has been on at Cincinnati since last Tuesday. was ended Saturday by an agreement with the Architectural Iron League. The "outside men," for whom the strike was declared, will get 40,' 35 or SO cents an hour, according to the class of work. For-, merly 33 1-3 cents per hour was the highest. Five hundred men will return to work Mon day. The first serious hitch at and near Mahanoy City, Pa., over the finding of the anthracite strike commission occurred on Saturday when the employes at all the collieries In that region quit work after putting in eight hours. The coal companies will not pay them a full day and the mine workers organization threatens to declare future Saturday holidays. Four hundred laborers employed at the Bariton copper works at Perth Amboy, went on strike Saturday. They demanded J1.S0 per day, an increase of 30 cents. In the evening the strikers started a fight' in front of the works. The police were called out and finally succeeded in quelling the trouble. Four of the ringleaders were arrested and held on a charge of rioting. A struggle between union and nonunion workmen is delaying work on the new battleship Connecticut at the navy yard In Brooklyn and it Is reported that a number of nonunion men, through Intimidation, did not go to work to-day. The men said to have been Intimidated are engaged in the construction of a crane without which work on the warship cannot proceed, and three hundred or four hundred men are thus kept out of employment. The drivers and loaders at the Philadel phla & Reading Coal and Iron Company's Burnside. Bear valley and Sterling col lierles, in Pennsylvania, went on strike Saturday ' because the company refused to agree to give them nine hours work on Saturdays If they quit toll at 3 o'clock. Heretofore they received a full day's work by starting at 7 a. m. and quitting at 4 p m. Fifteen hundred men and boys were rendered idle. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS. ! NEW YORK. April 4.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-While Secre tary Cortelyou was connected with the White House he participated In fifty-eight Journeys similar to the present tour of the President. This statement was made by Mr. Cortelyou to-day' in answer to a query äs to whether he did not feel lonesome not to be one of the party accompanying the President. These fifty-eight trips include all the jour neys made by Mr. Cortelyou during the past seven years as secretary to the execu tive, and .go to prove In a striking manner that the Presidents of the United States are not so tied to the capital as would be Imagined. With this record Mr. Cortelyou says that it is a great relief to him not to be responsible for any of the details of -the present excursion of the President. Mr. Cortelyou accompanied President McKinley in all his tours and until now has always been with President Roosevelt. Among the notable presidential excur sions was the famous tour of President McKinley to the Pacific. ,coast, which was interrupted by the sudden collapse of Mrs. McKinley. "Tt devolved upon Mr. Cortelj-ou to perfect all the emergency arrangements for, her comfort on her return Journey to Washington.. lie -.was also the chief figure after, the Buffalo' tragedy, and he was the frlnclpal agent In persuading President toosevelt to .return to Washington and cancel all- his engagements in the West when the inflammation of his leg after the accident ; at Pittsfield, Mass., rendered absolute rest a necessity.' Under these circumstances Mr. Cortelyou feels- relieved that he is only compelled to attend to the duties of organizing his department of the government, rather than face the responsibilities of a presidential outing. The labor of perfecting the schedules and guarding against emergencies is an obsorbing task on such occasions, and the sympathy of the new secretary of commerce and labor is with the officials who have the management of the present tour. During his fifty-eight Journeys with Presidents Mr. Cortelyou has traveled more than 50,000 miles, or twice the circuit of the globe. RECENT ARMY ORDERS.

Name ' Given Political Assessments Levied by a Federal Official. WASHINGTON, April . 4. The United States Civil-service Commission to-day made public a statement claiming the recent supplanting of Surveyor General C. C. Goodale, of Colorado, by the appointment of J. F.

The clerks were also asked to do political work and some, of the women in the office were directed to go from door to door v.: and : ask persons who were strangers if they had registered, etc., a work which they found very disagreeable." In addition to the retirement of .Mr. Goodale, two clerks in' the office. Charles J. Christian and John G. Fleming, who were most active in collecting the assessments, have been dismissed.. . . .

this law the collector of Internal revenue collected 122,000 in taxes on the bequest. The attorney general asserts that the tax was on the estate and not on the city, and therefore constitutional.

There is no better remedy for obesity than the'Juico of the frosted pokebcrry," said a doctor. The value of this riant was discovered in an odd way. A Pennsylvania physician who was a great gunner noticed how ravenously, in the fall, the birds fed on pokeberrles, and how they consisted, at this season, of little more than skin ami bone. Therefore he asked himself why tho pokeberry shouldn't make human beinss thin, even as it did with birds. He gathered, a lot of the globules, squeezed their Juica on sugar, tablets, and tried them on several corpulent people. One man lost forty pounds in three months, feeling no Inconvenience, but actually gaining in health and strength while this change went on In lilm. A woman lost fifteen pounds In two months. An ased' clergyman reduced himself at the rate of four pounds a week. So the pokeberry is now an accepted remedy for obesity. But only berries that have been withered by frost are used; the frost destroys the poisonous quality that they have in the summer. Following the birds, we get along all right The birds don't go near the pokeberry in the warm weather, but after tha first cold they delight in It" Good Enough Egg-Tester. MA pall of water," said a farmer, "makes as good an egg tester as I know of. Tha action of an egg when it is dropped into water defines its freshness absolutely. A freh egg in these conditions conducts Itself like a stone; It plumps straight down to the bottom and lies there on its side horizontal. Such an egg Is fit to eat' soft boiled or poached on toast for breakfast. A week-old : egg sinks more slowly and doesn't He on the bottom so completely It only half reclines. This egg Is all right for cake and for general cooking purposes. Aa the egg gets older its buoyancy becomes greater and greater; It goes to the bottom with more and more reluctance, and, arrived there, It refuses to lie down. Finally we come to the egg that floats, that takes to the water like a boat and bobs gayly about. Its pointed end protruding as though for air. This egg Is to be -avoided. It is three months or more old." Her Moderate Desires. Philadelphia Ledger. Everybody who heard her say It Is wondering if she expects to die young or If she has learned the secret of living on next to nothing a year. The conversation had turned on the amount of money necessary to comfort and happiness, and she, being only twenty-two and from the country, where a little money goes a long way, contributed to the symposium in this wise: "Oh. if I only had J500," she' said. "I would never do another stroke of work as long as I live." She meant It, too. and everybody elsa present to whom 1000 seemed rather a small sum, wondered how she would manage It Red b the color of danger, whether on the seniaphoro or .oa the skin.
