DETROIT 'PEOPLE MAY WALK 'Street. ' HnllTviir Men Threaten to ' StrllieUnlcirtt Differences Arc Ailjnnedi ( DETROIT , Kov. 24. Representatives of the local Street Railway Employes' associa tion held a confcrenco this afternoon with the street railway company officials on the subject of the employes' ultimatum. The men demand reinstatement ot three dis charged employes and Insist that Mount Clemens' rapid railway cars be handled by Detroit men when within the city limits. The Citizens' Street Railway company In an agreement with the employes' association , which Is still In force , promised to employ only Detroit union man on the suburban cars when within the city. The street railway employes notified the company verbally of their ultimatum nnd unless It Is complied with all the men will quit next Sunday. The street railway people ple declined to consider the demand unless submitted In writing. The attorney for the Street Railway Em ployes' association advised the men that they have no proper basis for going out under the agreement with the companies. Consequently a strike Is very Improbable. HEARD ABOUT TOWN. : : Judge Frank Irvine Is In the city attend ing to some matters of business.

A split has oc curred In the organization of SpanlehiAmer- lean Veterans and a rival body as formeil today to be known as the Spanlfeh-American War Veterans. Last week the original or ganization held a protracted meeting In this city and prepared Us constitution and by laws , and at that tlmo there were Impending rumora of a split , but nothing wava made " public officially aboul It. "Today's meeting was held In response to an urgent 'call ot Adjutant Lllllcr , who gives the following 03 the reason for the split : "General dissatisfaction and nn attempt to place Ihe organization In the hands of the Ohio rcprcsentallvcs , making It appear as a move for political purposes , and the recent action of the committee , who were In the minority , assuming the privilege of remov ing nnd vacating offices declared by tbo na tional representative officers , and a move to control the association generally and remove the headquarters to Ohio. Those present today were men who have made .national reputations and arc here to make the or ganization a national SUCCORS and not use It for selfish motives. " The new organization makes all those who served In the regular or volunteer nrmy , naval or marine corps during the Spanish-American war and those now serv ing In the present Philippine war eligible to membership , provided they can show an honorable discharge. A constitution and by laws were adopted and local crimps and de partments are to be established.

CALL WOOD TO WASHINGTON AfTiiirH In Culm < o lie DlHcusseil Mny HiAiii Civil ( i < Mcriior. WASHINGTON , Nov. 24. The War de- lartmcnt lins been advised that the transport McPhcrson failed today from Santiago with General Leonard Wood aboard. The officials of the War department from the secretary down refuse to make any state ment ns to the meaning of the visit cf Gen eral Wood to Washington at this timeIt Is beyond question , however , that It la the pur pose ot the president to advise with the gen eral upon Cuban affairs In order to strengthen hit * hands In dealing with that' subject before congress. Also It Is not to bo doubted that the name of the general has been under consideration In connpctlon with the civil administration of affairs of the whole or part of Cuba , \then the change Is made from a military to a civil form of government. This Is not neces sarily an Indication that ho has been se lected for euch a. post , for It Is equally tiuo that the names of General Ludlow and of General V.'Ilscn have also been considered. General Ludlow preceded General'Wood t'o Washington , and now It appears likely thdt j 1 General Wilson will also be Invited to came I to the capital , eo that the president will b'o I personally acquainted with the qualifications of the three officers who have been looked upon as making up the limit of choice In the civil governorships.

PARIS , Nov. 24. In Iho Chamber of Dep uties today , during the discussion of the estimates , Count Montaigne ( conservative ) 1 asked for explanation as to the Incident of a Brltleh cruiser stopping nnd boarding a Kronen steamship , the Cordoba , In Delagoa bar. M. Dclcfisse. minister of foreign affairs , replied that It was not an Isolated | case. Bclllgoicnts during n war , ho ex plained , had the right to ascertain the na tionality of nny vessel nnd , ho added , It the British crtilecrs only did this they had acted within their rights , Turning to the situation In China nnd the recent events In Kvnng ChnuVnn province the minister reviewed the concessions ob tained by other nations and said Franco's ' I share had been Inferior to Oreat Urltatn's. Ho said : ' "Wo took what wo thought to bp the most convenient spot , but wo must husband our resources , for efforts In vital In terest may render It accessary. Our Immense empire and frontier In China ought to keep us from fmpatlcnt enterprises which might cost us dearly. The partition of China Is not Imminent Russia has reached Pe-Chl- Ll. because she hao not met with great re.- slstance. Our tc.no of Influence lies beyond Tonquln. The point In dispute Is In a poor province , but what Is Important to us Is thut China has undertaken not to yield the neigh boring provinces to the Influences of nny power. ( Cheers. ) Wo must ceek to main tain' the open door. " Referring to the Transvaal the foreign minister said ( he favored mediation and , arbitration , but did not deren It opportune to take the Initiative , as the powers had not yet signed The Hague protocol. tuftNlnn Alllmicc. The speaker denounced "those unsorupu- lous polltlplans who exploit the noble senti ments of the country In order to excite pub- lie opinion against the government. Up recalled the fact that Germany on the mor row ot her victories was obliged to seek an alliance , nnd said : "Tho Franco-Russian alliance , opposed to the Dretbund , has been drawn closer , and this alliance , which guarantees peace at present , admits of far-reaching projects In the future and ought to encourage us to persevere In the existing line of policy. " Alluding to the commercial agreement with the United States , M. Delcasso said : "Wd have concluded with the United States a commercial agreo'incnt , ' and whsn the matter Is discussed we will have little difficulty In showing that we. have ocrupu- lously safeguarded the Interests of our agrl- cujture. This agreement will give a freeU Impetus to the commerce of tho. two peoples ples , who are united by history and similar ity of political Institutions and can never cease to be so , save by a misunderstanding of Ihelr evident Interests. ' " "It Isby endeavoring to smooth diffi culties , by conciliating Interests and by sup pressing , ns far as possible , the sources of conflict that we have obtained the 'friend , ship of some and certainly the esteem of all. ' 'I am aware that some journals urge an apposite policy , the policy of shaking the flst at all the world , a policy , which ! m- " ' ' jyjc s ) ) e or the , shame- < ; ' ' Ices exploitation of' the hb'bles't sentiments.

" ( Cheers. ) The general opinion In the lobbies was that the speech of M. Delcaeee would pro duce an excellent Impression at home nnd abroad. The chamber , except the natlonnl- Ists'-and nntl-semltcs , applauded. The for eign minister was careful lo avoid speech calculated to wound the feeling of any coun try. An explanation of his allusion to the dual 'alliance Is found In his recent con ference with the Russian foreign minister , Count Muravleff , In Paris nnd St. Peters burg.
