They'll be delivered with our best promptness 11 PHONES. whole matter would have been handled at Omaha or lomt other point along the line had not Harrlman been taken 111 and thus forced to come east. As It Is, there was nothing else except for President Burt and representatives of the strikers to come on east and settle the trouble as best they could, without troubling Mr. Harrlman. who was a very sick man. From the market thla afternoon It was Indicated that Wall street believed In the settlement Implicitly, though there was a slight heaviness from sympathy with the declining securities of allied roads, out Union PacWo rallied over a point at the close on the assurance of Union Pacino brokers that the strike waa amicably set tled. When seen late today two representatives on the committee of the bollermakers and shopman refused to discuss the matter at all, saying th nnal negotiations were not all completed, but from their manner !t was easy to see they apparently considered that a favorable settlement, If not already reached, soon would be. They would not say when they expected to return to the west. Dow, Jones Co.' last "yellow slips" from tomorrow Wall Street Journal says: Union Pacino gained 1 per cent on talk of a deHnlte settlement of the strike of the boiler maker and shopmen within the next two or three days, and Southern Pa cino gained on the news of E.

It the weather proves favorable to morrow it Is expected that Mr. Harrlman will be allowed to go out for a drive." So It can be seen the probable amicable settlement of the strike, as reported from authentio sources. Is fully believed by the investors Interested here. Harrlman to Be Operated On.

(2) Not to alter the present administra tion In Mongolia. (3) Not to open any new treaty ports In Mancnuna, (4) Not to employ foreigners in the ad' ministration ot Manchuria. Whether China gives it consent or not, Russia also retains the telegraph line be tween Port Arthur and Mukden.

LONDON, May. 19 In a speech at Burn lelgh tonight. Lord Rosebery, referring to Mr. Chamberlain's appeal lor trade reci procity within the British empire said that before tariffs were changed the colonies ought to be represented In the government of the country and he did not think h's wa Impracticable. He did not regard free trade a a part of the "summons for res tralnt" but the question arose whether It would be wise, without long and deep consideration, to change the fiscal system under which Great, Britain had achieved its commercial success. "We must consider," continued Lord Rosebery, "whether It would be Judicious to quarrel with customer who give ua two-third and possibly three-quarters of our trade In order to oblige customers who give us a quarter of It or only a third of It. A conference between British' and colonial nnancial experts should precede any alteration In the British fiscal sy. tern." Lord Rosebery dealt with Mr. 'Chamber lain's scheme In a Judicial manner, being, careful neither to approve nor condemn It, but on the whole showing that he had no great sympathy with It.

The beginning of. actual construction on the Saddle Creek sewer again has been delayed by the decision of Mayor Moore to veto the agreement with the Belt Line railway regarding the construction of the two viaducts which consummation of the combination of roadway and sewer will necessitate. This agreement had been In sisted upon by the railroad before the of ficers acquiesced in the appraisement of property recently condemned. Generally the mayor regards the stipula tions as fair. They are that when the roudway is built. If ever, the city will mnke the excavation through the high embankments and construct the retaining walls nnd aimtments' for the trestle work, The wording or the pact, however, does not suit the mayor, who declares It favors the railroad at the expense of the city. One point Is that the city work must be done under the direction of the chief en gineer of the railroad. Consequently his honor will send back the agreement to the council to have It remodeled. Meanwhile the sewer waits. MORE UNDER-WATER BOATS Plunger nnd Sbnrk Hut Official Trial, Whirh Is Generally - Suceeasfnl. GREENPORT. N.
