SETTLEMENT Al BUFFALO DOUBTFUL I The Dockers Resolve to Establish an 'Ofilce and Wait For Overtures From the Employers’ Associa- tion—No Advances to Be Made. BUFFALO, May 20.—The grain shov- elers last night adopted resolutions re— pudiating all agreements made with the Lake Carriers’ association and demand- ing the unequivocal abrogation of the contract with Mr. Conners. '; I The striking freight handlers at their meeting voted to ignore the advice of Bishop Quigley, in which he urged them ito return to work under the terms granted by the associated lake lines at the conference yesterday afternoon. The action taken at these two meet- ings, it Is thought, will end for some time to come the negotiations which have been in progress for over two weeks to bring about a settlement of the dock troubles. The grain shovelers will refuse to make any further proposition to either the Lake Carriers’ association or the contractor, and as the Lake Carriers’ association some days ago decided to l withdraw from the conflict the indica—r l tions are that the strike will be permit~ l ted to wear itself out. l ,The final conference between Con- : tractor Conners and the men was held , in the afternoon. The men announced before they took part in it that if it did not result in some agreement they would breai'; off negotiations. At this conference the strikers proposed that there be inserted in the agreement al— ready reached with the Lake Carriers’ — -W. - .. ..L'_7’J':.....‘!3 L .-'n _ .....“'-'- ;-_'._._.,... , , W.

This clause provided that the grain shovelers should submit the names of ten men for each elevator out of which the con- tractor should select his boss scoop— ers. Mr. Conners refused to agree to the proposition, and the men left the conference. At 9 o'clock last night President Mc- Mahon reported to a meeting of grain shovelers the result of the conference. A- wild scene ensued. The men poured out their wrath upon the president and the committee for having attempted to make such terms; declared that they would have refused them even if the contractor had accepted them, and in the, midst of denunciations of the con- tractor, the committee and é‘ven Bishop Qulgley a resolution was adopted to the effect that the executive committee representing the strikers should estab- lish an office and wait there for the Lake Carriers’ association to come to them and agree to break the contract with Mr. Conners. Another resolution was adopted pro- hibiting the officers or the executive committee from negotiating further with Mr. Conners or making any ad- vances to the Lake Carriers’ associa— tion. ' French Not Doing Much. ST. JOHN’S, N. R, May 20.—The French have been operating only six lobster factories and four cod fishing stations on the Newfoundland treaty shore thus far this season, as against 13 lobster factories and 11 cod fishing sta— tions operated last year. The men em— ployed now are not 400, and this is the lowest number of Frenchmen visiting and working along the coast on record. These conditions are the best illustra— tion of the . comparatively valueless character of the whole territory to the. French. English Capital to Run Yarn Mills. TAUNTON, \Iass.,May 20.~—The News says: “The offer of the English capital— ists to buy all the cotton yarn mills of Bristol county, seven in number, has been accepted by a majority of the stockholders 'in all the mills.

The Paula Struggle Ended. PANA, Ills, May 20,—As the result of ameeing of coal mine operators with the state board of arbitration and the United Mine VVorkers' officials an agree- ment was signed last evening formally settling the long drawn out struggle here between union miners and opera— tors. The agreeme‘nt gives the union recognition and declares that all no- groes shall leave the city and only union men be employed. Boon-s Prontpted the Conspiracy. LONDON, May 20.—The Johannes-- burg correspondent of The Morning Post says that facts which have arisen since the arrests of the former British ofiicers on charge of a conspiracy to promote a rising in the Transvaal leave no doubt that the alleged plot was ”en- gineered by Boor officials to divert at— tention from the real demands of the outlanders.“ Heavy Timber Purchase. .

Ludlow Informs Dealer They Must Not Be Sold Promiscuously. HAVANA, May 19.—The importation of 500 revolvers was stopped by the cus- tom house authorities yesterday, the weapons being taken into military cus- tody. The dealer to whom they were consigned has been infc’n‘med by Major General Ludlow, military governor of Havana, that he may sell them to such individuals only as shall give the au- thorities‘a satisfactory reason for the ,_ purchase. Senor Enrique Garay, the wholesale hardware merchant in whose posses— sion 1,500 Mausers, bought of the Span— ish, were found a few days ago, has been required to surrender them, and on the orders of General Ludlow they have been stored in the arsenal, subject to shipment out of the island, as it is not considered prudent to allow them to be sold in Cuba. Every day or so there comes a fresh story Of brigandage, but at the Salon Trocha, the headquarters of General Brooke, it is asserted that investigation invariably shows that such reports have only slight foundation. The expec ed manifesto of encral Maximo Gomez was issued late last evening. It reviews his part in the ne- gotiations with Governor General Brooke and speaks of his love for Cuba and his sufferings in her behalf..in the past. People Support the Strikers. l’I—IEELING. May 19.—One of the most peculiar strikes ever contested in the United States has been in progress for five weeks on the Wheeling street railway lines. The remarkable feature of the contest is the unanimity of the support of the strikers by the popula— tion of theeling'and the surrounding towns. The men struck for 20 cents an hour, with nine hours' work a day. All the cars are in operation, and the com- pany is not, having any trouble to run them. It is estimated, however, that not over five persons ride on the entire system during the day. Bus lines run by the strikers are largely patronized. The Birxning‘hnin University.
