Thursday was an eventful day In the
progress of the strike. Beveral firms set
tled with strikers, teamsters and waiters,
and the outcome gave warrant for the be
lief that a disintegration of the discordant
elementa has at last set in. The strikers
came out of the day feeling much en
couraged. More settlements are antici
pated today and the end of the strike la
thought to be rot far distant.
A matter of considerable Import was
brought out at the injunction Inquiry yes
terday afternoon being conducted by J. O.
Yeiser, attorney for the waiters, and T. J.
Mahoney, attorney for the Business Men's
association. Yeiser aaked the question of
Euclid Martin, president of the Business
Men's association:
'It the unions concede all the cardinal
points of ths Business Men's association
would you then recognise them and sign
contracts with them- as unions or would
you Insist on dealing with, them us in
dividuals?" So far as I am personally eoncerned
I weuld not sign any contracts with them
as unions, but would Insist on dealing with 1
them .aa Individuals," waa Mr. Martin's
reply. , a i
At this hearing E.' B. Branch, secretary
of the Business Men's association, refused
to produce the books of the association In
response to Mr. Yelser'S request. He gave
as his reason for not doing ao that the
books had been turned over to T. J.
Mahoney, attorney for the association, and
that Mahoney was in court and could not
be reached. Yeiser then moved that Branch
be committed for contempt in falling to
produce the books and C. C. Valentine, the
notary before whom the inquiry Is being
held, took the motion under advisement and
probably will act on It today.

Express a Transfer company was on the
stand, but testified to nothing of par
ticular importance.
The hotel and restaurant owners held a
secret meeting late yesterday afternoon,
but would give out nothing, for publica
tion. Several of the members of the as

fairs had been made or planned as a re
sult of this- meeting , ' A rumor waa cur
rent that a proposition was mode to Tolt
Hanson of the Calumet, to lease his
restaurant, but this rumor was not con
firmed. The teamsters, who had already adjusted
matters with the Bennett. Company and
Hayden Bros, and sent their men back to
work at these two places, have made ami
cable terms with the Sheridan Coal com
pany and ordered their' teamsters to return
to work there. The BostSii' Store, which
haa from the beginning of the strike occu
pied a neutral position and been on friendly
relations with the team drivers, have put
a union man' to work, 'The'Boaton Store

The waiters' situation presents some In
teresting features. The Calumet, the larg
est restaurant In the city, discharged 'ta
forty colored men and again closed ite
doors yeeterday. The -colored nonunion
force' had been at work two days. Tolt
Hanson, proprietor of the Calumet, aald:
"I could not run my business with these
fellows, foil they were incompetent They
were not waiters; the most of them were
porters. I must have a large and compe

YOUNG ELEMENT IN CONTROL
On Handred and Fifteenth General
Presbyterian Assembly
Convenes.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May a.-Ths HBth
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church convened In this city this morn
ing at Immanuel church. But few of the
700 accredited commissioners were absent
from their seats when Rev. . Dr. Henry
Van Dyke called the gathering of church'
notables to order, and the spacious galleries
of the church were crowded by visiting and
local church people.
The campaign for moderator continued
up to the hour for calling the assembly to
order, and everything points to the election
of Rev. Dr. Robert F. Coyle, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian chufch of Denver, at
this afternoon's Session, by a large ma
jority over the other candidates. Dr. Coyle
Is very popular with the creed revision ele
ment of the general assembly, which is
Just now In a strong majority. Dr. Coyle
will be nominated by Dr. William N. Page
of Topeka, Kan., who waa himself men
tioned as a prominent candidate, for the
moderatorshlp until he withdrew from the
race in favor of Dr. Doyle.
Dr. William H. Roberts of Philadelphia
and Dr. Calvin W. Mater ot Chicago are
the other two candidates.
A notable feature of the present general
assembly Is the unusually large number
of young men among the commissioners.
Comparatively few of the older men, who
had heretofore shaped the policy of the
Presbyterian church, were In attendance,
This Is explained by the fact that the
campaign for commlaslonershlps to the
llEth general assembly, which will vote
upon the final adoption of creed revision,
was an exceptionally warm one, and the
younger element of the church won out.
The opening of the assembly this morning
resembled the usual church service. There
waa singing by the choir and by the audi
ence of many old familiar hymns. At 11
o'clock Dr.- Van Dyke called the assembly
to order and delivered his annua sermon
He summarised' the Importance of doc
trines and expressed these ethical teach
ings on which all Christian churches unite.
He Concluded:
The church that the twentieth century
will heer moet gladly and honor most sin
cerely will have two marks. It will ba
the church that preaches the central truths
or cnrisuanity most cieariy, strongly and
Joyfully. It- will be the church that finds
and shows most kindness In living the
mmpie' lire ana aomg gooa in the world.

DEBTS LESS THAN A MILLION
Liabilities of the Porter Brothers
Compaay. Overestimated la
the First Report.
CHICAGO, May . According to k state
ment made by Attorney De frees of Defrees,
Bruce At Rltter, counsel for the receivers
of Porter Bros, company, the magnitude
of the ooncern'a embarraasment has been
over estimated in the printed reports of the
failure.
"I know already that the liabilities are
In excess of $800,000," said Mr. Defrees,
"and I don't know how much higher they
will mount. If any. when we are fully
informed. It is ridiculous to stats, how
ever, that the liabilities will reach 3,
000,000." As to the events which led up to ths
crash, Mr. Defreea said he did not know
positively. "The company has been branch
ing out recently In addition to doing a
very large business. I suppose that Mr.
Watson, the president, tried to realise
money on securities of some sort and
failed."
The firm's creditors, most of whom are
banking Institutions and warehouse com
panies, are scattered all over the country,
although confined chiefly to the large cities.
The reason given for suppressing the facta
concerning the feeling of the petition waa
that all creditors might receive notifica
tion simultaneously.

FANATICS ARC GREATLY EXCITED
Declare that l( la tha Will at tha Can
that tha Jews Everywhere
Be Robbed aad
Mardered,
BERLIN, May 21.-The singular' state of
mind of the people of Kischlneft, Bessarabia,
while they were killing the Jews there,
about a month ago, la described In a letter
from a non-Jewish German Of Odessa, re
ceived by the relief committee. He said:
The lenders hf tha hands on entering
Jewish dwellings often addressed the occu
pants good-naturedly, saying: "Poor
brethren, we must kill you. It is so
ordered.'1
Monstrous thlna-a wera not done until
robbers began to participate, and when
they, with tha Christian sealota. became
Intoxicated.
The atate of terror ot the residents ef
Kltchineft, the letter adds, continues. A
fresh massacre la expected there and the
people of the town of Odesaa and of all
the large towns of Bessarabia are living
in hourly dread of death. The whole prov
ince seems to be in a state of fanatical
fury against the Jews.
The writer of the letter then sayt:
The excitement Is Intensified throngh
proclamations distributed 'n the streets
and the tone of the bitterly anti-Semitic
newspapers. The Russians say to their
educated and tolerant countrymen who
urge keeping the peace: "it Is the rear
will that the Jews be everywhere robbed.
Ordsi-s have been given that we start sgain
at t-entrost.
The situation haa become all the worse
since the Important Russian papers have
been prevented by the censorship from
freely expressing their opinions. Their
behavior Vtas been excellent
JJnless the' government adopts a more
energetio policy the events at Klschlneff
will undoubtedly be repeated in other
towns. As indicating complete disapproval
of the best classes, respectable Russian
leaders are assisting the sufferers to ob
tain redress.
Jews Arm la Spite af Latr,
ST. PETERSBURG. May 20.(Delayed in
Transmission.) The circular of Interior
Minister Von Plehve, Issued May 17,
ascribes the massacre at Klschlneff largely
to acts of self-defense on the part of the
Jews and continues:
The events at Klschlneff have alarmed the
Jewish portion of the population In many
regions ot tns empire and nave occaeionea
rumors amnnfl the Christians about in
tended Jewish persecutions. In some cities
tne Jews Dea-an rorming seir-aerense ao
clatlons. After I reported the dleorders to
his majesty he commanded me to Impress
on the commanders In the province and
towns that they are obligated and are hold
personally resDonslble to take nil necessary
measures to prevent violence and cnlm the
DoDuistion. in order to remove tne oc
caslon of fears for life and property In- any
portion I feel obliged to state that no Sort
of associations for self-defense can be
tolerated.
The Jews are not Inclined to depend sololy
on the police. and have armed themselves'ln
spite of the circular. Undoubtedly their
action prevented a repetition of the mas'
sacre at Kiev, Odessa, Minsk and else
where. The Minsk Jews are so alarmed that
th slightest outbreak causes them to closs
and barricade their shops.
Tolstoi Blamas Government.
Answering a private letter asking for his
opinion of the Klschlneff massacre . Count
Tolstoi writes: '
My relations fo the Jews and the terrible
Klschlneff 'affair tnust be clear to every
body interested In my beliefs. My relation
to the Jews can onlv be as that to brothers
whom I love, not oecauae tney are Jews.
but because they and everybody are the
sons of one Father God. That love' does
me no violence, because I have jnet and
know Jews who sre good people.
My relation to the Kischlneft crime Is slso
defined by my religious beliefs. Before
knowins- all the frlshtful details I onder-
stood the horror and felt Intense pity tor
the Innocent victims of mob savaa-ery,
mingled with perplexity at the bestiality of
the so-called Christians and aversion and
disgust for the so-called educated people
who Instigated the mob and sympathised
with Its deeds. Above all, I was horrified
at the real culprit, namely, the government
,1th its foolish, fanatical Priesthood snd
the gang of ro,b-r officials. The govern
ment's relation to the affair la new proof of
Its rude egotism, neaitating hi no atrocity
rhan it la a ouestlon of crushing move
ments regarded as dangerous and is proof
ef its complete enulnamlty. which is. like
that of the Turkish government toward the
Armenian massacres, at ths most horrible
atrocltiest if only Us Interests remain un
touched.

A bill was filed In the United States cir
cuit court today to declare Invalid certain
provlalona in the will of Legrand L. Wells,
who died at Watseka, IU., twenty rears
ago. These provisions concerned a trust
fund of $30,000 to be used In establishing

Watseka. The city of Watseka donated a
lot fpr this purpose and the building waa
erected in 18S8. The school haa never been
started, however, the Income from the trust
fund being Insufficient for keeping up the
