Chicago, Nov. 13.—At 4 a. m. the long expected and often deferred struggle between the union employes of the Chicago City railway and the company began and when the resi dents of the South and Southwest sides of the city started fof their places of business they were without their usual transportation facilities. Beginning at midnight the trainmen gradually took their cars to the seven barns of the company scattered throughout the system and left them there. In the shops, barns and power houses the union workers laid down their hools and quit, declaring that they will remain idle until the com pany consents to arbitrate the issue that brought on the controversy. Notwithstanding statements by of ficials of the company that no attempt •would be made to run cars except for postal service a few passenger cars were started early on various lines. The result was trouble almost in stanter, the first instance reported be ing the intimidation and flight of a nonunion crew on the Cottage Grove Avenue line.

SMOOT'S CASE CONSIDERED. Senate Discusses Question of Utah Man's Eligibility. Washington, Nov. 13.—Immediately upon assembling the senate plunged 'into a discussion of the cuestioii ol" ilio eligibility of 'Mr.' Reed Smoot of Utah to a seat in the senate. The debate grew out of the remarks made Wednesday by Mr. Hoar, saying that, petitions bearing upon Mr. Snioor's case are as much, out of place as would similar petitions to the supreme court of the United States be in the interest. of any case before that tribunal. Mr. Dubois (Ida.) took issue with Mr. Hoar's remarks and presentel his views in connection with tho petitions for Mr. Smoot's expulsion which were presented by himself. Mr. Hale (Me.) took the position that the question of Mr. Smoot's eligi bility had been improperly raised at this time. He referred briefly to the moral aspects of the Smoot. case and said that grave as they are they are not more imnortant. than "the intru sion of a great religious hierarchy like the Mormon chnrch info the political affairs of the country." lie suggested to the senate the importance of not prejudging the case. GENERAL MARKET DECLINES. Stocks Fellow Downward Ccutcs of Pennsylvania. New Tori Nov. lib—Attention in the stevk market was divided between Pennsylvania and United Slates Steel preferred to a large extent. The fact that United States Steel preferred sold up to 52'4 while Pennsylvania con tinued its downward course divided sentiment to a considerable extent. The balance was on the side of firm ness in the market, however, so long as Pennsylvania showed resistance at 112 which it did during the early part of the day. Its yielding iter to 111". unsettled sentiment and th" general market was inclined to give way. The demoraiiaztion in the soft corl trade, the large bond issues by subsidiary companies and the resulting rumors of a possible reduction in dividends were the depressing factors in Pennsylvania, business in that stock and in United States Steel preferred was not so overwhelming preponder ant as on previous days.

I WARNING TO TUBKEY AUSTRORUSSIAN REFORM PLAN MUST Bi ACCBPTBD. Further Refueal to Do So Will Expoae the Ottoman Government to Great Danger. Constantinople, Nov. 13.—It trans pired during the day that the latest Austro-Russian note to the porte con tained a specific declaration that a further refusal to accept the reform scheme will expose the Ottoman em pire to great danger and that the pro posals of the two powers must be ac cepted entirely and without delay. Paris, Nov. 13.—Official advices re ceived here confirm the Associated Press dispatches announcing that the ambassador of Austria and Russia at Constantinople recently presented a joint note to the porte insisting on Turkey's acceptance with brief de lay of the Austro-Russian plan for ad ministering the reforms in Macedonia. The note does not fix the limit for the delay, so it is not considered to be an ultimatum, but the insistence of ac tion with brief delay is regarded as showing the imperative nature of the communication. Although no resort to coercive measures is suggested, ac cording to the advices received here, it is understood that these are likely to follow if the delay is protracted. DISMISSED BY THE CZAR.

The circumstances or the summary dismissal of General Dratv°miroff have just leaked out. They striking ly illustrate 'he humanitarian ideas of the Russian ruler. Drngomiroff, who enjoyed unbounded favor at court and was the most popv.lsr man in the Russian army, lost favor and his of fice because lie did not show modera tion mi quelling the recent strike riols at Kieff. iTearing that tile strikers might cause a repetition nf the Kishi nev scenes Pragomiroff called out the artillery and caused a wholesale slaughter of the rioter: It is said that several hundred of them were killed. When the czar heard the fact he nf once dismissed "Drrgomiroff. wit It the words: "I cannot have that man at Kieff anv longer. His h.'iids are stained with human blood." ONE DEAD. THREE INJURED.
