CHICAOO. July 16. Renawed activity on
the part of Chicago business men followed
ths lettlomeot of the freight handlers' and
the teamsters' strike today and at the close
of business hours tonight thousands of
tons of freight had been sent to and from
the varloua freight depots. Every one of
the 24,000 strikers who could obtain employ
ment had returned to work by 1 o'clock
In the afternoon. The strike, It Is esti
mated, coat the business men of Chicago
(10,000,000 and In order to guard against a
contingency In the future tbey are prepar
ing to Inaugurate an educational campaign
In opposition to the sympathetic strike.
The labor unions will be asked to forego
the use of this Impotent weapon. Business
Interests which suffered during the strike
Will Join in pledging themselves. It ta said.
Sot to. sign union agreement which do not
' guard them against these strikes.
On the other band the labor uniona are
fighting to secure the right to abrogate
agreements for the purpose of ordering
sympathetic atrikea.
The freight handlers blame the national
effloers of the teamsters for the loss of
the strike. Tbey declare that' the strike
hows the necessity for incorporating In
11 agreements . a reservation which will
permit strikes.
Arbitration Canaes Settlement.
' Credit for the settlement rests with the
State Board of Arbitration. It was the adop
tlon of the suggestion of that board which
.led to the action of the freight handlers'
union in declaring the struggle with the
railroads at an end.
At the same time it is probable that even
sad the atate board not made Its sugges
tions, the fight would have been practically
over tomorrow, aa the majority of the
freight handlers had returned to their work
before the mass meeting at which the atrlke
was called off officially had convened. It
was a knowledge of this fact that had much
to do with the action taken by the union.
However, the proposition mad by the State
i Board of Arbitration enabled the'' freight
handlers to retire graoefully from the field.
i After ten day of strife the Chicago
freight handler' .atrlke -terminated today
In an unqualified victory for the railroad.
A meeting of the strikers, presided over by
.President Curran, resulted In aa almoat
unanimous vote to return to work, leaving
the wag scale and other questions tor
settlement between the men and their re
apectlvo roads.
At th conclusion Of the meeting the
strikers went by hundred to the ware
house to apply for their old positions, and
the teamsters who have remained out in
sympathy again took up their reins. By
soon immense quantities of freight which
had been held back for daya was being
rushed to the ratlroada or taken from ware
house and cars. Where stagnation had
ruled, oommercial activity again reigned.
Chicago merchant express unbounded re
lief at th termination of hostilities, but
they are scarcely less happy than the men
themselves, although the strike 1 est!
seated to have cost them 110,000,000, to say
rothlng of th trade that had been per
manently lost to them.
. Hall Crowded to Vocation.
Th little hall where the meeting of th
striker took place was Jammed to suffoca
tion and thousands were unable to effect
an entrance. It waa a brief mHn ni
long enough for an angry speech by Curran
nun me vote wnicn followed.
Mr. Curran, In th course of hi ad
dress to the men. said:
"I am going to organise th freight
u.naiers an over the country, and when
we oecrae to ngnt again it will not be
atruggl between the freight h.nrii.r.
Chicago and the railroads, hut htw.n
the fi eight handlers and the railroads all
over in country."
"Men," said Curran, "we came out Ilk
men; w have acted like men. ant
should not go back like abeep, but there
baa been treachery in our camp. Yesterday
when I was about to us th telephone the

TAFT REPLIES TO VATICAN
Outline! Another Plan Eelativ to the
Friar Lands.
WOULD HAVE THE QUESTION SOLVED
Notes Wisdom of Some Ruasreatlous
Mad by Vatican, bat Observes
Sack Would Not Meet
tho End Desired.
ROME, July 16. At noon today Major
Porter of the Judge advocate's department
of the army at Washington personally de
livered to Cardinal Rampolla, the papal sec
retary of state, the last note of Judge Taft,
governor of the Philippine islands, on the
subject of the withdrawal of the friar
from th islands, which will presumably
end the government'a negotiations, aa Major
Porter simultaneously presented a letter
from Judge Taft asking for a farewell au
dience of th pop.
The following is, in part. Judge Taft a
note to the Vatican. It Is addressed to
Cardinal Rampolla, papal aecretary of
state, and begins thus:
In rvnlv to the two notes of your emi
nence of June 21 and July 8, I have lust
received a communication from the secre
tary of war, In precise and exhaustive
trrmi which are here reijroduced integ
rally. ' Secretary Root says he Is elad to see
by tne two notes received irom in vanc-an
that the holy see la animated by the best
Intentions to come to an undfrtandlng
with Washington about the relatione be
tween church and state In the Philippines,
that your eminence has declared tho Vati
can to be disposed to give clear and pre
cise Instructions to the friars to occupy
themselves with religion only, abstaining
entirely from politics and that the holy see
proposes to Introduce, little by little,
ecclesiastic of other nationalities, espe
cially American. Secretary Root add that
he cannot no less man acKnowiease mi
wisdom of these propositions, but that he
must observe that they would not solve the
question.
Would Not Violate Paris Trcnty.
Th Ignited States haa no dealre to Violate
the treaty of Paris, and seeks not a forci
ble, but voluntary, withdrawal of certain
persons, who happen to be Spaniards, and
whose previous experiences In the islands
had tnrown them into antagonistic rem-1
tlons with the people and with the Catholic
laiety and native clergy, many of whom
have left their parishes and can only be
reinstated by using material force, which
the United States cannot permit. This
proves that the government of the Philip
pines has no intention to propose measures
contrary to the interests -of the Vatican,
and, in fact. Its Interest in the church. If
the question of withdrawal be left un
solved, not that the Washington govern
ment has persuaded the ecclesiastical au
thorities to see the necessity of carrying
out this step, the latter withdrawal of the
friars under order of the religious superior
could not be regarded as anything but
voluntary and would not violate the treaty
of Parts; nor could such order be regarded
as affirming or admitting any accusations
against the friars, because the American
f overnment made no such accusation. The
Inlted States did not desire the withdrawal
for Itself it was indifferent to Uie presence
of the friars but in the Interest of the
whole people of the Philippines, who were
bitterly opposed to their presence.
Dealre of Philippine People.
It was thought by the generous proposal
of a contract which would bind the Philip
pine government to certain financial ana
other obligations, to secure the much
longed for desire of the Philippine people In
the withdrawal of friars. Now that - the
vatlcsn does not see Its way clear to make
a definite withdrawal, the American gov
ernment has deemed. It wiser to recur to
the methods of settlement of the various
questions at Issue, suggested by Cardinal
Rampolla' first communication of June 21,
namely:
First, an investigation by both sides into
the possible and probable liabilities and
claims and the settlement of them by an
accredited apostolic delegate with the gov
ernor in Manila, after the conditions with
respect to the titles of the mars to the
land and the amount of claims for rental
have been presented by the representatives
of the church to the representatives of the
Philippine, government In Manila.
As to the Indemnity for the friars' lands,
your eminence has pointed out the diffi
culty of computing so ; reclpitately the
exact value, but this might be done by
examining the title deeds. The Washing
ton government will Immediately order the
general commanding the forces In the
Philippines to furnish all Indications neces
sary to ascertain what damage has been
done by the military occupation. Although
regretful that an tne questions nave not
been decided definitely, the government Is
clad to express satisfaction at the results
obtained.
Secretary Root in his communication de
clares that Judge Taft'a Journey la quit
compensated for by the fact that It la pos
sible to fix general lines on which later can
be amicably resolved all the questions now
pending.
Want List of Property.
. Meanwhile, aa a preliminary, he wishes
Cardinal Rampolla to aend to the Philip
pine government four lists of the property
considered to belong to th religious
orders, comprising:
. 1. That transferred to corporation.
I. The ecclesiastical buildings occupied
by the troops, with Indications of th dam
age and compensation therefore.
I. The property before considered Span
ish crown lands, which it is desired th
American government ahould transfer to
tho church, though Washington will grant
such transfers only on condition that a
satisfactory agreement be reached oa all
other questions.
4. The charitable and educational insti
tutions which the Vatican desires to be
classed a belonging to th church.
Secretary Root conclude by instructing
Judge Taft to express to Cardinal Ram
polla hla pleasure that the visit of the
American representative haa resulted In a
broad basis for harmonious settlement,
his thanks for the courtesy shown by the
Vatican to Judge Taft and for the prompt
ness with which the Vatican haa acted, and
hla bopss that, though no specific agree
ment has been reached, the Vatican will
ultimately find it Just to do what has been
signalised
Judge Taft concluded hi not to the
Vatican thus:
"In obedience to Secretary Roet'a dis
patch, I request that th futur negotia
tions on the points raised be held In
Manila between an apostolic delegate and
the governor, after the Information sug
gested abov by Secretary Root haa been
ascertained and presented."
Object of th Demands.
WASHINGTON. July 16. A high official
of the government make the following
statement concerning th negotiations
pending ia Rome. It can be authorita
tively stated that substantially th facta
contained in this statement were cabled
to Governor Taft in the latest instructions
aa a basis of his reply to the Vatican:
In seeking through Governor Taft to
secure the peaceful removal of the friars
of th four orders from the Philippine
Islands It must be borne In mind that the
American representatives in the Philip
pine Inlands have merely been favoring
faithfully to carry out the wishes of the
people for which they feel themselves
Kcullarly bound to stand, it must always
remembered that It is not the United
States government which In any way ob
jects to the presence of the friars In the
Islands: It la the Catholic population of
those Islands. The lay Catholics almost to
a man, and practically all of the parish
frleets, are ao violently opposed to the
riora that they will not permit trwm to
come back to the parishes, and as a matter
oi tact, nolo tneir Unas in hostile posses

IMPORTED MEN WALK OUT
Union Pacific Eu Difficulty in Keeping It
Nonunion Men.
BRICKLAYERS MAKE EFFECTIVE PROTEST
Lay Down Their Tools and Stoat
Work Until Nonunion Employe
is Discharged from Work
on Shops.
Th Union Paclflo 1 having serious dif
ficulty In keeping the nonunion men it
bring from th east In its shop after
they arrive. In addition to the twenty
five who arrived from Chicago Tuesday,
nine other cam In yesterday, but only
aeven of them reached the interior of the
bops and four of these promised to leave
a aoon a they could.
The men were brought Into the city under
th surveillance of the company guards, aa
la usually the case, but the strikers' pick
ets also had an eye on the recruit and
laid their hands on them as well Just In
time to keep them from going Into the
company'a quarter. Pour other said they
would leave during the night.
The men who deeerted upon their ar
rival at the shops made this statement re
garding their employment by the company'a
agent in Chicago:
'W answered an advertisement In one of
the papers ther which said that boiler
makers, machinists, car repairers, palntera
and coach carpenters were wanted. We
made application for work and found that
we were consulting a repreaentatlve of the
Union Pactfio Railroad company, who
Wanted men for th shops out In this part
of the country. We were structural Iron
worker and we hired for bollermakers. The
agent asked us no questions and this aroused
our curiosity. We thought It must be that
the company was having trouble with its
men, or that It waa In pretty narrow atralta
else its agent would be more particular
about the kind of mechanics he hired.
Not Told of Strike.
"Wo Inquired If ther wa any trouble,
and were told that there waa no strike,
but that Just a few men had refused to
work because they objected to piecework.
This looked a llttl better to us and so,
aa w wer looking for something to do
for a while and had a desire to come west
anyway, we took the chance."
It la aald the company intends to send all
the coach carpenters and repairers it can
get to the Southern Pacific and stock up
on Its own system with all the bollermak
ers and machinists it can ge..
News cam to strike headquarter yes
terday morning from Armstrong, Kan., that
five men had quit the shops there and
Joined the strikers. The report saya that
the company raised the price of meal to
th men from 20 to 25 cents. Report were
received also at strike headquarters that
th machinists' helper who did not go out
the other day left the North Platte shops
Tuesday evening. This exodus Includes, It
ia aald, the three inspector in th round
house and four men In the tank gang and
probably seven oc eight helpers from the
shops proper.
Bricklayer' Quick Action,
for a short time yesterday and made thing
somewhat interesting. A nonunion brick
layer had been put to work on tha atruc
ture, as the company Is extremely anxious
to push the work, and Just aa soon as the
union men caught alght of thla man, whom
they recognised as the same fellow who
was smuggled in on them on a former
occasion, they gave th algnal and every
man laid down hla trowel and leaped
from the scaffold on a atrlke. There were
about twenty of these bricklayers and the
entire fore at work on the building, in
cluding carpenter and skylight workers,
wa about 100. Had not the bricklayers
been able to compel a settlement all this
number would have struck.
But little time was wasted in bringing
matters to an end. General Superintendent
Neff, who haa charge of the construction
for the Union Pacific company, met the
bricklayers and their foremen and within
an hour after laying down their tools the
bricklayers were back at work and the
"cab" waa off tha ground.
One condition exacted by the Invincible
bricklayer before they would return to
work was that all the work that had been
done by the nonunion man ahould be torn
down. This was promptly dons and the
entire force resumed operations, and the
remainder of the day paased off without
further trouble.

STEPHEN BARRATA. CHARLES MBINgj.
Th disaster was' the result of an ex
plosion occasioned by John Burgy, a miner,
going into on of the magaxlne of the
Daly-West with a lighted candle. Hla act
cost him hla life and tha lives of many
other miner beside. Hi body wa blown
to atom. All th other victim ar recog-
nizable, their facea being easily identified
by relative and friend.
Faco to Faea with Death.
The explosion occurred at 11 :20 . last
night and in a twinkling deadly gaa wa
being generated throughout th mine. It
crept through every tunnel ahaft and In
cline and In a very ahort space of tlmo
cores of miners found themselves fac to
face with death.
It la not known how much powder .was
exploded, but whatever amount ther wa
it went off in a terrible concussion. Tb
shock waa aomethlng terrtfle and waa
heard for a long dlatance, although It waa
nearly 2 o'clock before It wa known In
Park City, a distance of three mile.
When It 1 stated that a bora wa killed
at th mouth of th Ontario tunnel,, two
miles away, some idea of th fore of th
explosion may be had. Tha animal wa In
use at th entrant to thta part of th
mine and waa hurled against tha wall and
machinery with such violence , a to be " .
killed ' otftrtght. Two other horse were
ao billed, the. latter in th Ontario, al. ..
most aa great a dlstsnoa 1sWny-. That tb
loss of life is not for greater than It ia
seems marvelous. The work of rescuing
th Imperilled and dead waa quickly and
heroically undertaken. Men wer brought
to the surface Just aa fast as th disabled
machinery would permit. Th victim had -
to be brought up the ahaft in a one-com
partment cage, on of th eompartmanta
having been wrecked by the explosion.
In the Ontario, which la connected with
the Daly-West, six men are deed. Two of
the dead are rescuers, John McLaughlin
and John Eckstrom. The body of the lat
ter 1 still in the mine.
NOT UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS
Judgment of Speculator 1 that
Gate Syndicate Mado Little ,
Money on Corn.
CHICAOO, July 16. Th July corn corner .
wa not much mor than an echo today,
nothing being dona In th deal ao far aa
th Harris-Gates peopl wer concerned.
It developed today that tha short are hot
all in. A few small onea began covering
at tha opening of th exchange and made
tha opening quotations somewhat erratic
between tShi cents and 66 cents. Later th
prlc settled back to 65)4 centa and eloaed .
at 66 1-8 cent.
Tb wisdom of th bull leader In aban
doning the corner two week in advanc of
lta natural termination waa shown when
the Inspection sheet waa posted showing
fresh receipt of 453 cara on Chicago aide-
tracks. Of this total 146 car wer eon
tract grada. which th leaders would hav
been obliged to take aa a means of sup
porting the July prloa. Otherwise it would
hav been bought In th open cash market
by ahorta and turned into th Harrla
Oates combination in settlement of ac
counts. There waa also 1T1 ear of th cos
tract grade "mad" in tb different 0l
Ing and drying houses, making about 600.
000 bushels of th contract grada from all
aourcea. Being out of th deal th bull
leader wer relieved of th unpleasant
necessity of taking car of tb! vast quan
tity of corn. Tb cash market waa firmer
than th day befor. though not partic
ularly brisk. Almost everybody about tha
board bad a different theory to exploit aa
to tb winning or losses of th Oat syn
dicate. A consensus of th best opinion,
however, waa that th ayndloat waa nom
inally a little ahead on lta deal aa to th
July delivery, but atood to sustain a sub
stantial loss in ths marketing of it 6,000.
000 bushel or o of cash corn which it had
been forced to accumulate. In view of this
fact and tha atrong probabilities that thla
corn cannot be profitably disposed of th
corner aa a whole 1 not looked on aa an
unqualified success.
