Mallerlnot foreign secretary of New Qranatla. -pointing, out the advantage ' of the treaty to the United States in View of the attitude of Great Britain, which, 'declares, "unveils a preconceived and long meditated intention of grasplnr the most valuable mercantile spots of America, putting the competition of the United States out of the question, and declaring her will as a law in all : matters concerning the consumption of ; fertig comraodltiesJ ' V . f . In a communication to Secretary' ttt State. Buchanan Benjamin BidUck, United States charge d'affaires at Bo gota, discusses the control of the lath. aus, in which be tiys that Cecretary Mallarlno had said that If New Granada "ceded to too United States the right-of-way across the isthmus he presumed the United States would guaranty to ,New Granada the isthmus, or at least as much of it as was required for the construction of a canal or a railroad upon the most favorable route." Bidlack in transmitting a draft of the treaty to Secretary Buchanan had de following to say regarding the .transit across the isthmus. With re gard to the rifeht of transit and free passage, over the Isthmus, which appeared to me to be becoming of more and more importance every day, I have only to remark that I have procured the largest liberty and the very best terms that could be obtained."' J "I could not obtain these terms without consenting to guaranty the integrity and neutrality of the territory, and in fact it seemed to me, upon re flection, that in order to preserve the rights and privileges thus ceded it vrculd be both the policy, the Interest, end the duty of the United States thus to enter Into an obligation to protect ttem. The guaranty extends only to tia Isthmus, and anything like a gcacrsl slilrce is carefully avalded. J HAHnONY Iii YCSIX .-," Coheres of Action. .- . VTfiLlrjtca, Not. 25. CenatcrTtcs. ,C.

CHICAGO STRIKE EtlDS

City Railway Company Running Its Lines Once More Without Mob Opposition. XT A3 A FAILURE FOE THE HEU They Got Nothing They Originally Deaianded, but Are Conceded One Later Point, Chicago, Nov. 23. The strike of the employes of the Chicago City railway was settled at an early hour this morning at a conference between the mayor,, the aldernianic? .peace committee. President Hamilton and E. R. Bliss, counsel for the company, and the executive board of the local union of the striker j. The basis on which the settlement was reached is a complete victory for the company as far as the original demands of the men are concerned. The agreement will be ratified at a meeting of the meu, and it is expected that traffic on all the lines of the company will be resumed today. One Point the Company Concedes. The only important concession made by the company was an agreement to reinstate all the strikers, including the outside unions who went out in sympathy with the trainmen, with the exception of thoe who resorted to violence during the trouble. The arbitration of the wage scale is to be according to the wages paiu outside of Chicago, and not on the basis of the local street railways The company has insisted that it pays higher wags than any similar corporation in the country, and the men were fearful thatthe arbitration on the scale paid in other cities would decrease their wages. What the Strike Was For. The original demands of the unton were as follows: First An Increase of wages amounting to 4 cents an hour for all men employed on the electric lines); both sides were at all times willing to arbitrate this, the basis of arbitration being the sole point at issue. Second The employment of none but union men. Third That the officials of the local union be given the right to say what men shall be discharged and the union to have a veto on discharges. Fourth The right by the union to regulate the routing of cars. On all these four points the company wins. - As to Reinstating the Men. ..The fifth demand was made by the union, after sympathetic strikes had been Started by firemen, engineers, electrical workers and teamsters within two days after signing contracts, and was that all men should be taken back and given their former positions. The agreement is that ail men not guilty of violence toward the company during the strike are to be taken back. Others will remain out. This Is the only advantage obtained by the strik. era. Company Slowly Gaining. Ever since the inauguration of the strike, thirteen dr.ys ago, the company has been gradually gaining the upper hand of the men, until traffic had been opened on five lines and the rioters bad become much less aggressive. The strike has not been chargeable with a single homjclde, which is one thing to be thankful for. ' LAST DAT OF THE STRIKE - ... Noted for Obstructions on the Traek-Coäl . Delivered fader Ooard. T ""; ." ' : Chicago, Nor. 23. President Hamll too, of the Chicago City Hallway com pany, notified Mayor Harrison that he would like to meet the council media tlon committee at the mayor's office at 220 p. m. In response to this re quest. Mayor Harrison summoned the members of the committee, Hamilton, Bliss and Joseph Leiter appeared on time, but It was stated that no reprä sentatives of the strikers had been in vlted to the conference. The meaning of this latest move Is not apparent. No information was given, out. The positive refusal of the Chicago City IU 11 way company to take back all Its striking employes Is ths one point that now stands between peace and a continuation of the strikt. - This refusal applies to trainmen, as well as men who have broken agreements by gob; on a sympathetic strike. The company has evidence against many of the strikers under which the official say they would be faithless to their trust If they took these men back. In stances of slugging - non-union .em ploy es, intimidation and threats, not only against workers, but against the best Interests of the rallv.ay, have multiplied since the strike. The police were ordered to report to the yard of the Harder & Hafer Coal Mining company at Twenty-fourth street and Stewart avenue, whence the coal was to be taken by non-union teamsters In the employ of A be City railway to such power houses as General Manager McCuIIoch will desig nate. Inspector Lavln made no secret of his apprehension of trouble when the loaded wagons were started from the yards. Escorted by Captain Schüt tler and the police the cavalcade of 3ven loaded coal wagons proceeded to the Twentieth and State streets power house. ' . All day the mobs raided the street cr lines and the order of the day .was obstruction any kind, so it obstruct ed. The most serious was encountered at the start, when Et es I rails were slipped through the spekes of the bis raderground turn-wheel around Which the Ctate street cable winds in the vault at the southern terminus. . These

rails were not discovered before the machinery was started. When the wheel revolved once the rails -wer twisted and the spokes of the big wheel were nearly wrenched from their sockets. The sudden stopping of this wheel threatened to put Ihe cable line out of service for a whole day. The rails had to be sawed in two to get them out. : A large crowd followed the State street cars southivard from the business center. An average of twenty minutes was required to each block, owing to the obstacles placed In the way.
