No.00mpromise Made by the Adams
Company and Its Employees.

 

BUSINESS} MOVING SLOWLY.

A Denial of the Published humor That
Other: Express Companies Had Been
Requested to Handle Packages.
Both Sides of the Case.

 

NEW YORK, Aug; 18.——The Adams Ex-
press company did alone so much of its 10-
cal collecting and delivering as half a force
of wagons could do today: No other com-
pany was asked or offered to help them,
and the managers were satisfied with the
state of affairs, though their confidence
was based on future results. They were
employing drivers all the forenoon. They
had secured 120 men yesterday, and early
today had 42 more, which made substi-
tutes for 1’62 out of the 252 drivers on
strike. '

The reason prominence is given the
statement that the company is working
unaided by its competitors is because of'
the report printed in the morning papers
about the United Express company having
cfiered to help the Adams people. Thomas
C. Platt, president of the former, disposed
of that by saying: “We haven’t been asked
to. ‘ The Adams company doesn’t need

‘ any help. There’s nothing in that. story."

So soon as this rumor had been laid,
however, another arose in its place. It
came from Canal street, where the strik-
ing drivers are standing around to watch
the stable boss hire men in their places.
The strikers said Mr. Platt’s company was
encouraging the men by holdingout to
the most experienced of them the hope of
employment in his service. The men, to
back it, referred to Mr. Platt’s political
character and added that his company
could get a lot of business awayfrom the
Adams company if the latter’s drivers, who
knew routes and customers, would go over
to the United States company. They said
it takes two years to train a driver for the
express business. He has to be a clerk. as
well as a driver. He has to be familiar
with the classifications of trafiic, know
customers, rates and fix and collect charges
for parcels of all sorts picked up around
the city.

Zimmerman's Statement.

Superintendent Zimmerman replied to
this that drivers were not skilled work-
men. The cbaracter of a man was valu-
able and long service was esteemed because
it proved character. Otherwise the men
had little to learn, nothing a man of intel-
ligence should not be able to acquire in a
few weeks. Down in the stable this view
was borne out by men who seemed to be
interested in the strike only as spectators
with intimate acquaintances involved.
They said there that some of the old driv-
ers who had important routes and particu-
larly those who had the-“money wagons”
would be sadly missed, and four more of
these joined the strikers today. 'But the
other drivers were not called men of skill
by their fellows. The. substitutes hired
yesterdayand today will be slow, will make
some mistakes,.but may be. expected to
have learned enough for the service in a

few weeks,r- according to Zimmerman._

What was most feared was that some of
the men thus hastily engaged would turn
out to be utterly unfit, to be men who
know nothing about driving and little or
nothing about the city. All answered
questions, of course, according to the ap—
parent expectations of Superintendent Mc-
Williams, who was examining the appli-
cants in Canal street.

In‘this scrutiny of applicants the police
assisted. Hundreds of men in quest of
places were gathered opposite 309 Canal

' street, and among them were some men of

rough appearance. Inspector Cortright,
who is acting in Chief Conlin’s place, had
a squad of police there with detectives, and
they looked the applicants over as they
came up in line. The strikers said two
“crooks” had been spotted, and they sug-
gested that many might have slipped
through.

In Jersey City the situation is about the
same as here. Green hands are doing the
work, which is going on slowly. The New
Jersey state board of arbitration has of-
fered its services to settle the difficulty,
and the strikers were inclined to accept
the proffered aid. A majority wished it,
but the matter was laid over for a joint
meeting of New York and New Jersey men
in Franklin hall.

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. 18.—-Judge
Wales today handed down his decision in

CHARLOTTE, Mich, Aug. 18.—-A special

men the robbers escaped, but were cap-
tured. Their. ages range from 18 to 22

years. '

Important Liquor Decision.

ALBANY, Aug. 18.-—Under" the Raines

less than five gallons. The excisedepart-
ment has decided that five gallons of liquor

SALISBURY’S ADDRESS.

 

 

Importance of the Favorable Attitude of
British Government Leaders. ‘

LONDON, Aug._18.—-The»statement con-
cerning arbitration made by the Marquis
of Salisbury on Saturday, when he was
installed as lord warden of the cinque
ports, is attracting widespread attention
here. He said: "‘One speaker alluded to-
the eflcrts the queen’s advisers are -mak-
ing’ in conjunction with the United States
to withdraw a portion of the causes which
have led mankind in ages past to the ter-
rible judgment of battlefields. I earnestly
hope that it may be the fate of my col-
leagues and myself to win this peaceful
victory, which, if Won, will be more pre-
cious than the many victories with which
this part of England is associated.” The
Times, Daily News and Daily Chronicle in
their editorials this morning comment
upon the importance of the premier’s
Statements, and The Pall Mall Gazette
concludes 3 column leading article on the
same subject this afternoon with the fol-
lowing _remarks: >

“Mr. Balfour’s and the .Marquis of
Salisbury’s arbitration statements have
caused unfeigned satisfaction to thou-
sands of members of our common Anglo-
.Saxon stock on both sides of the Atlantic. ”_
The remarks of Mr. Balfour referred to by
The Pall Mall Gazette were the ones made
on Friday last at the closing of parlia-
ment, when he said the government was
still considering the latest proposals of

Secretary Oiney, winch were regarded as 'Etiderer and butcher and challenged him to

opening the way for an equitable and early
settlement of' the dispute. ‘

The St. James Gazette this afternoon,
says that the country will receive the arbi-
tration news with the greatest satisfaction,
but farther on the same paper remarks
that it refuses to believe that the Marquis
pf Salisbury will “be so feeble as to yield
to Secretary Olney’s demand for the in-
clusion of the settled districts of Venezuela

'in the arbitration schema.” .

The Globe, while completely indorsing
the arbitration movement, remarks, “The
new arrangement, .whatever its details,
should certainly define'in the most exact
terms cases which lie within and without
the Monroe doctrine.”

HARD LUCK OF ALASKA SEALBRS.

Catch Averages Only Three to Four Seals
- a Schooner So Far.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 18.—The steam-
'ship Portland, Captain William Kidston,
from St. Michaels, Unalaska, brings ad-
vice from the latter place up to Aug. 7.
The United States revenue Cutter Rush
dropped anchor in Unalaska harbor on
Aug. 6 from the sealing grounds in the
vicinity of Pribilof islands. Her officers
say that there are about 70 sealing schoo-
ners in those waters this season, about 65
of which are flying the British flag. The
sealing season opened on Aug. 1, but ow-
ing to unfavorable weather the catch has
not averaged more than two'or three seals
to each schooner thus far,'whereas‘ under
favorable conditions each vessel would
capture as many hundred seals per day.

Captain Kidston. saysthe water is, very -

cold in and around the islands, owing to
the vast amount of ice from the north,
thus preventing the seals from making
their appearance in large numbers.

The government seal commission, head-
ed by Dr. David Starr Jordan of the
Leland Stanford, Jr., university, Califor-
nia, was preparing to leave Unalaska on
the Rush for. a cruise in the waters where
the scaling fleetis nowflshing when the
Portland sailed. . '

British View of Spain's Claim,

LONDON, Aug. 18.—The evening news-
papers refer at length to Spain’s bill for
damage against the United States as .the
result of the fitting out of fliibustering ex-
peditions, destined for Cuba, in American
ports, and refer to the decision arrived at
in the case of the Alabama. The Globe,
for instance, says, ”The United, States’
acceptance of the Geneva award makes it
absolutely impossible for it to repudiate
its liability under the present circum-
stances with any show of reason or jus-
ties.”

The British Columbia Mines. -

TORONTO, .Aug. 18. —Ofiicia1 returns
from British Columbia to the Dominion
government show that. in 1894 the aggre-
gate value of precious metals mined in the
province was $1,000,000. Last year the
value was $5,038,375, and this year the
output will be greater, judging from the
three months ended July 15. The estimat-
ed value of gold smelted and shipped to
July 15 is $1,750,000.

THAT CHALLENGE TO- WEYLBB. l
General Ochando Declares That He Will,
Demand the Butcher’s Recall.

KEY_ WEST, Aug. 18.—~Captain General
Weyler and General Ochando were the
principals in' a sensational afieir whiuhcc-
curred. shortly before the latter sailed for
Spain. The death of General Ochando’s
nephew, who was a lieutenant in the
Spanish army, was the cause .of the trou-
ble. There were 'ugiy rumors in circula-
tion reflecting on the young lieutenant,
who was accused of conducting a treason-

-able correspondence with Maximo Gomez, 1

the insurgent chief. When Weyler heard
of the rumors, be summoned the young
manto the palace and questioned hini.
Weyler.was apparently satisfied of the
young man’s guilt, and told him that if‘
he did not commit suicide in 24. hours he
would be courtvmartialed and‘shot. . . ‘
The lieutenant left the palace, 'WSntto
his room, and'in six hours "was a corpse,
havingishot himself through, the heart.
The affair was hushed up, and the Spanish.
official report said the young man died of
yellow fever. ' . .
Shortly afterward General Ochando ’ar-
rived in Havana and learned the true
story of his nephew’s death; He was great-
ly enraged. ~ He immediately went to the
palace; to ‘call .Weyler to account. The

meeting of the generals was most sensa- .

ticnal. Ochando denounced Weyler in the
bitterest terms, alleging that the lieutenr
ant was ‘guiltless and had been driven to
his death: Ochando termed Weyler a mur-r

a duel. . Thcunen drew swords and would

have fought in the. palace 'but for the’ in-' .

terference of other officials. _ .

Two days later General Ochando sailed
for Spain. He is greatly enraged, and says.
he will make the afiair public when he

reaches Spain and demand Weyler’s recall. p

A -Large Procession of Nationalists At-
. tacked by a Mob. “ '
BELFAST, Aug. 18.——Sericus rioting oc-
curred here today in connection with the
Nationalist demonstrations in favor 'of
granting amnesty to the Irish political
prisoners. There were several processions

of Nationalists through the streets ash.

beginning, and they finally were merged

into a large procession, headed by bands- »

men, armed with spears. The procession
soon attracted immense crowds of people,
and stone. throwing commenced. This
served to enrage the Nationalists, and the
bandsmen attacked the crowd with their
spears, wounding many persons. The po-
lice charged the rioters and used their
batons freely, with the result that several
persons were hurt before order was re-

stored. The rioting caused the greatest ex-

citement thrOughout the city. and further

- disturbances are feared if the Nationalists

carry out their threat of returning in very
much greater strength and marching in
procession throughout the main streets of
Belfast. The police, however, are taking

‘ steps to make a display of force calculated

to prevent any further serious rioting,
and if necessary the military will be
called upon to assist the constabulary in
maintaining order. ’ * ' ‘ ~'
