The Employees, However, Secure the Eight Hour Day and Recognition of Their Unions—Brooklyn Trolley Lines Quietly Boycotted. NEW YORK, March 16.——The ' big build- ing trades strike will be ended tomorrow, according to reliable information, Negotiations are under way whereby the Electrical Contractors’ association will, it is said, grant the eight hour workday, from and after May 15, to the union wire- mcn now on strike. None but union‘men are to be employed. The board of walking delegates and the United Building trades will meet and ap- point committees to arrange the terms of settlement. This arrangement is looked upon as a concession on both sides, the unions reced- ing from the stand they had taken that the electrical workers should be granted the eight hour day on April 1, and the Elec- trical Contractors and the United Build- ing trades agreeing to recognize the union wiremcn and the building trades unions in general. 10,000 \Vill Resume \Vork. Ten thousand mechanics who are on strike now will thus be enabled to return to work next Monday unless something unforeseen occurs. It was said that the negotiations for a settlement of the difficulty were brought about through the efforts of the steamfit— ters and their employers. Without the knowledge of the board of delegates the steamfittcrs opened negotia- tions with the Master Steam and Hot Wa- ter Fitters’ association, with a view to- ward having the latter .nfluence the Elec- trical Contractors’ association in effecting a compromise. This action caused the electrical workers and other unions to de- clare that no action could be taken except through the board of delegates’ executive committee. The Enterprise association and the Prog- ress association (steamfitters’ helpers) held a joint meeting and discussed the matter. They finally decided that the members of both' organizations would return to work, provided the electrical contractors would agree to give the eight hour work- day to the union wiremcn on May 15, and that the men in their employ must be rec- ognized by the building trades unions. Union Men Ordered Out. Contractor Thompson put three nonun- ion plasterers at work on the twelfth floor of Arnold, Constable & Co’s new build- ing at the corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street, and the delegates of the painters, carpenters, steamfittcrs and plumbers called out 25 union workmen. The building is completed, and the work- men were employed in making alterations to suit tenants. Twelve plas'terers belonging to the Plas— terers’ union‘ of Brooklyn were ordered out of the Presbyterian Home Mission building by the walking delegate of their organization. They were employed by Contractor Thompson. Brooklyn Trolley Lines Boycotted. BROOKLYN, March 16. —An investigation by the Brooklyn Heights railroad Officials brought to light today the fact thatifor some time the ex-strikers have been dili~ gently boycotting some of the company’s lines. For several. weeks the receipts of the company have not been increasing as rapidly as they should toward the normal condition, and it is believed that the boy- cott has had something to do with it. “The boycott,” said President Lewis to- day, ‘.‘we find has been in, operation for several weeks. It is about over now, I guess, as our receipts are-within 10 per cent of the amount under normal condi- tions.

'.... l0 BE nun NOW. IN THESPRINGYOU ARE_ALWAYS RUN DOWN. ' This Will TelliYou Just What to Do For Yourself. And Just Why You Should Follow Exactly This Plan. In the spring everybody needs to think about taking a spring medicine. Not only is this a common pract’ce, but a very necessary and healthful one. It is a fact which physicians acknowl- edge and the people ,recognize gener- ally, that a spring tonic taken during Maren, April and May is more condu~ cive to the restoration of health, in cases of those who are sick, than any other course of treatment that could possibly be adopted. It is further understood by everybody that even for those who call themselves well, it is very important at [his season of the year, if they would maintain good health and vigor, to take a spring remedy to strengthen and invigorate the nerves, tone up the action of all the organs, and thus, by creatinsr a healthy condition Of the nerves, blood, stomach liver, kidneys and bowels, assist Nature in the efiorts she always makes in the spring to cleanse, purify and invigor- ate the system. In the spring there are a great many and important changes going on in the body. Perfect health cannot be main- tained while the system is clogged and the organs sluggish, and the person has a languid’and weakened feeling, with more or less nervousness and dc- bility. - Now in regard to what you should take. The best spring medicine, in— dorsed and recommended by physi— cians, druggists and the people, is Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy. In proof Of this, thousands of testimonials are being constantly pub- lished in the papers. The following is from Mrs. Etta Sumner, of Goodclls, Mich. . “I have been afflicted,” she says, “with nervous debility for a year." My nerves were completely prostrated and, I suffered at the slightest excitement, with great headache. At timesl was entirely overcome by this disease. I would stay in the house alone, and de- spise the sight of my own people. “My entire nervous system was shat- tered, and my‘ life was a worriment and burden to me. I was advised to try Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and while-on the first bottle, began to recover. ‘ My friends were very much surprised. é?” ”diff 31 RS. ETTA SUMNER “Before I had finished”; the second bottle, I could sleep with a quiet mind, and eat with a ready and refreshing ap— petite. I have taken three bottles and am entirely cured of all my sufferings. I have found Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy to be exactly what it is represented.” I cannot speak half highly enough of it. I cheerfully and enrnestly recom— mend it to everyone afflicted with dls— ease. What gives people absolute con— fidence in it, is its being the discovery of one of our best known and most successful physicians.” No remedy in the World is so sure to bring back bloom and color to the wan and faded cheeks, the brillancy to the hollow and haggard eyes, the lightness and elasticity io the weak and weary steps, the strength and vitality to the unstrung, shattered'and worn-out her-- ves. It is, indeed, the greatest of all spring medicines, for it makes the sick well and strong. It is nota patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Green, of 35 West 14th St, New York city. He has the largest practice in the world, andthis grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputa- tion of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone, at any time face of charge. personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of this wonderful medicine. __..____————~OO ‘Claini's a.

AN APOLOQIREMANDED Secretary Gresham’s Firm Note to the Spanish Government. THEY MUST NOT DO IT AGAIN. A Denial of the Right to Molest American Vessels, No Matter How Close to Land They llIay Be—Latest Phase of the Allianea Afi‘air. MADRID, March 16.——-Mr. Hannis Tay- lor, the American minister, today present- ed to the minister for foreign affairs a. demand from his government for apology and reparation from the government of Spain on account of the Allianca affair. Mr. Taylor’s action was based on the following dispatch from Mr. Gresham, dated Washington yesterday: “This department is informed that on the 8th inst. the United States mail steamship Alliance, on her homeward voy- age from Colon to New York, when six miles from the coast of Cuba, off Cape Maysi, was scpeatcdly fired upon by a Spanish gunboat, with solid shot, which, fortunately, fell short. The windward passage, when this occurred, is the natural and usual higfiiway for vessels plying be- tween ports of the United States and the Caribbean sea. Through it several regu- lar lines of American mail and commer- cial steamers pass weekly within sight of Cape Maysi. They are all well known, and their voyage embraces no Cuban port of call. No Interference Tolerated. “Forciblc interference with them can- not be claimed as a belligerent act, whether they pass within three miles of the Cuban coast or not, and can under no circum- stances be tolerated whcn- no state of war exists. This government will expect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act and due expression of regret on the part of Spain, and it must insist that imme- diate and positive orders be given to Span- ish' naval commanders not to interfere with legitimate American commerce pass- ing through that channel and prohibiting all acts wantonly imperiling life and prop- erty lawfully under the flag of the United States. . You will communicate this to the minister of foreign affairs and urge importance of prompt and satisfactory rc- spouse. GRESHAM.” Allianca’s Officers Indignant. NEW YORK, March 16,—Thc Panama“ Railroad company, operator of the Colom- bian Steamship company. will not attempt to obtain any damage money from the Spanish government for the attack upon the vessel by a Spanish man-of-war. Secretary Grcigg of the company vas, seen at his office. “We will not attempt,” said he, “to make Spain pay for' the fun of firing at the Alliance. We have notified the state department, and if Mr. Gresham is not able to obtain a. reparation for the in- sult to the American flag I do not see what chance a steamship company would have. If we are at any time able to prove that our line was damaged by the firing of the Spaniard, we may bring suit against them, but there is no prospect of that at present. ” Th6 oflicers of the Panama Railroad company are anxiously awaiting the an— swer of the state department to Captain Crossman’s communication, which accom- panies the chart. So far as the company is concerned, the affair is practically ended. General Newton said the matter was now in the hands of the government alone. One of the company’s officers said of the statement inade by the Spanish minister that there was no such ship about Cuba as that described by Captain Crossman. "The minster has not had time to in- vestigate the matter. Spanish ships are always cruising around between the Bor- mudas and the Caribbean sea.” ' The Captain’s Story Confirmed. The officers of the steamship Alliance. were very indignant when they read the reported statement of the Spanish minis- ter at Washington that no attack had been made at all upon the Alliance. by a Span- lsh man-of-war. Captain Crossman had not come aboard up to a late hour, but First Officer Corning was there and did not hesitate to express his views in an em- phatic manner. He said: “The Spanish minister is talking through his hat. What possible object could there have been in our bringing this story into port unless, as We have stated, the Alliance. had actually been fired upon? Furthermore, is it reasonable to Suppose for a minute that Captain Crossman would have gone to the extent of reporting the matter to the state department if the trou- ble had not taken place? t is very easy to see why the Spanish minister wishes to cover the thing up. He says that no Span- ish warships or any ships flying the flag of Spain had reported the firing at any port in Cuba. He is probably perfectly correct in saying that. N o man—of— var would want to report such an occurrence. It is quite possible that the Spanish warships there with a roving commssion have not touched at any of the ports in Cuba since the incident occurred. “I can only reaffirm the statement that the shooting did take place, and that six shots were fired. I am glad to see the state department has taken hdld of the matter, and that the case will be pushed to its full limit.” ‘ \Vornan Suffrage In California.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afllicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. After, using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.
