The strike, however, will be made the subject of consideration In the chamber of deputies tomorrow and a solution of the problem may then be furnished. The climax of the strike was reached to night, when 5 000 repairers, linemen and mechanics decided to Join the strikers. These were thr- last remaining workmen employed by the post administration. Despite the fact that the cabinet at Its session tonight passed a decree authoris ing the dismissal of Its lute employes from Its service and reaffirmed Its determina tion not to yield, the semi-official note giving result of the meeting also an nounced that many merchants have offered to lend to the government their employes to ensure the public services. This Is In dicative of the completeness of the tie up and the extremity t which the govern ment has been forced. "Imyan Slav- Resign. The general opinion is held that Premier Clemeneeau seeks only to save the principle for which he has contended and that If the chamber tomorrow endorses the attitude of the government, tho premier will be ready for the resignation of M. Slmyan, the undrr secretary of posts and tele graphs and thus open the way for negotiations to bring the strike to a quick conclusion. The last two American maris have not been delivered, and as evidence of the completeness of the mall blockade Is shown by the fact that the 1 lavas agency, which ecelves thousands of letters dally, did not find any at the postofftce today. With the failure of the carriers to deliver letters In Paris this morning, the chaos resulting from the extraordinary strike was com plete. The entire public Hervlce Is paralyzed and business both public and private Is In a condition of Inextricable confusion. Letters and Telegrams Pile t'p. Throughout the day the situation In the. capital and the provinces grew worse with every hour. The undelivered letters num ber Into the millions and not less than 000 telegrams were stacked up this after noon awaiting distribution. Foreign Incom ing malls remain unsorted and only a f-uiall proportion of tho outgoing malls have been sent away. So far there has been no rioting. A large body of strikers gathere at the central tel egraphy station today and threatened a breach of the peace, but when they found the authorities had a company of Infantry In readiness in rooms adjoining the main offices they left the building without cre ating any disturbance. The real element of danger Is to be found in the threat of the General Confederation of Labor, which Is a purely revolutionary organization, and the railroad organisations to declare sym pathetic strikes. Strikers Claim Victory. The leader already are claiming victory, in spite of the bold front assumed by Pre mier Clemeneeau, who continues to declare that the government ennnot yield and In tenda to have recourse to soldiers first, and then replace the strikers with new ap pointees. Impartial observers, however, re alize the Impossibility of organizing an en tirely new postal service. Neither the mil itary telegraphers nor the soldiers, the lat ter having been placed In the postoffice with the almost Insurmountable task of sorting the mountains of accumulated mall confronting them, have not even accom plished a beginning and the belief is be coming stronger that the government will be compelled before long to make some ad vances looking to a compromise. But It Is also certain that the premier does not wish to make any concessions until the govern ment has secured a vote of confidence In the chamber tomorrow. In order to prove their patriotism, the striker have detailed two expert operators to transmit the cipher dispatches which the government is exchanging with the powers in connection with the Balkan crisis.

T., March l.-"The al most unanimous sentiment from democrat! I have met Is that a new man should lead In the next contest. Mr. Bryan must re alise the soundness of this view." This ut terance by former Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia at the Grover Cleveland birth day dinner given by tho Democratic So ciety of Western New York here tonight, was greeted with applause. Governor Sinilli spoke on national Issues and throughout his address threaded a plea for adherence to the democratic principles of Seymour, Ttlden and Cleveland. "The tariff will not cease to be a vital issue after the measures now being pre pared ta passed." he said. "Who can hope for an Intelligent read justment of tariff duties by the republicans. The new bill Is to be 'based on the doctrine of making the duties cover the difference between the cost of production In foreign countries and In the United Blates. to gether with a reasonable profit for stock holders. There has been no real study ol the question. The republican legislators who represent the protected Interests will make the new tariff hill not based upon scientific Investigation, but upon the wiuhes of their friends.'

WASHINGTON, March l.-Aleohol Is a cause of race suicide and cannot be con sidered a food, was the argument today before the American society for the study of alcohol and other drag narcotics. The speakers were Dr. W. 8. Hall of Chicago on "Some Conclusions from Laboratory Researches Concerning the Action of Al cohol on the Cell and Tissues;" H. J. Berkeley of Baltimore, "Lesions of the Nerve Cells and Vascular Tissues Pro duced by Experimental Arochollo Poison ing," Dr. H. W.

C "The In fluence of Alcohol on Pulmonary Tubercu losis." Society women who are addicted to an immoderate use of Intoxicants are less susceptible than men to treatment of hypno-suggestlon, according to the view expressed tonight by Dr. J. D. Quackenbos of New York City. They do not wish to be cured In most Instances, he asserted, and are prompted to Indulge to excess too frequently by the added sense of pleas ure they feel in the flattery of their ad mirers. Dr. Quackenbos emphasised this point In giving the small percentage of women drinkers who sre ponsetsed of powers of resistance. His statement that he had permanently cured more than SCO patients by the method of hypno-suggestlon after the subjects had become asleep through the use of a drug, aroused vigorous protects from several prominent scientists, who challenged his accuracy. Results of treatment of Inebriety by hy dropathic methods was discussed by Dr. J. O. Walton of Richmond. Vs.; Dr. a. A. Lawrence delivered an address on the medico-legal care of alcoholic defectives.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 19. Gov ernor Hadley, in a statement Issued tonight, declared if the railrosds Insisted on the restoration of thr. S-cent passenger fare rate the entire machinery of the state govern ment will be employed to retaliate on the railroads. "If the special dispensation Is granted Illinois, Kansas. Nebraska, Oklahoma and other neighboring states In the(matter of 2 cent fares, the state of Missouri will strike both at tho railroads thiough various meth ods of litigation and legislation," said the governor. The .fov.-rnor declined to specify Just what action will bo taken against the rail roads.
