Negotiations between the strikers aud
the St. Louis Transit company, looking
to a settlement of the strike, are off for
the present, and probably will not be
resumed until the strikers agree not to
demand the discharge of men now in the
employ of the company in order that
they may regain the positions they gave
up when the strike was declared. Two
men were set upon and brutally beaten
by a crowd this afternoon because they
rode on a Transit Company car.
The secretary of the navy received the
following cablegram from Admiral
Kempff, commanding the Newark, lying
at the Taku torts at the mouth of I'ei
Ho river, dated Taku, June 5: "Engaee
ment has commenced, Have landed a
force of 50 seamen more, battalion of
marines."' The cipher message is not
legible and it is supposed at the navy
department that the admiral mean's
that he has landed 50 seamen. The
break in the admiral's cablegram is
caused by an illegible group of figures.
Regarding it in one light it would seem
that the Newark has landed 50 Bailors
to reinforce the marines already ashore
and in another aspect the gap might be
read to state that 50 sailors had been
landed with another batallion of marines.
However that may be, the admiral's
news is regarded as of the utmost
gravity.
NO FUSION IN WHITMAN.
Democrats Leave This County and
Spokane Out of the Deal.
In figuring on the coming campaign
the democratic state central committee
expects that there will be a fusion of the
Bryan forces in all the counties of east
ern Washington except two, Those two
are Spokane and Whitman. It is con
ceded by the committee that it is al
most impossible for the democrats and
the populists to get together on one
ticket this fall for the county offices in
those two. It is claimed that but one
nominating convention will be held in
Stevens county, in Ferry, Okanogan
and Chelan, and in fact in all the coun
ties thia side of the mountains.
In Spokane county, as the date ap
proaches for the populist county nomin
ating convention, it seems more certain
that there will be no fusion between that
party and the democrats. The popu
lists may be willing to fill but half of
the county ticket and leave the rest open
for the executive committee. But should
they do this some of the prominent dem
ocrats are emphatic in their declarations
that they will not have their ticket
burdened by such candidates as are men
tioned for the populist ticket, and that
the offer of the populists will be rejected
after they have made half the nomin
ations.
A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured.
"At one time I suffered from a severe
sprain of the ankle," says Geo. E Gary,
editor of the Guide, Washington, Va.

medicines without success, I tried Cham

say that relief came as soon as I began
its use and a complete cure speedily
followed." Sold bj all druggists.

House. One Against.
Labor and Trades Unions Were
K.xeepted from its Stringent
Provisions.
WaKlmifrton, June 2.-Only one vote
wan cant in the booae today against the
Littlefield anti-trust hill to amend the
Sherman anti-truHt act to make it more
effective in the prosecution of trust*,
their agents or attorneys.
Mr. Maun, republican, of Illinoin, cant
the negative vote. The bill, according
to the statements of the republican lead
ers, goes to the limit of the authority
of con^res* under the constitution. Ail
the democratic minority amendments
except one were defeated. That was an
amendment declaring that nothing in
the act should be construed to apply to
trades unionn or labor organizations.
All except eight republicans Mchhth.
Aid rich, Alabama; Allen and Littlefield,
Maine; Bailey, Long and Calderhead,
KaiiHaw, and Cannon and Hitt, Illinois,
voted for it.
Points of the Law
The bill amends the Sherman anti
trust law so an to declare every contract
or combination in the form of a trust or
conspiracy in restraint of commerce
among the states or foreign nations ille
gal, or such party to such act or com
bination guilty of a crime punishable by
a fine of not Ichh than $500 nor more
than $5000 and by imprisonment not
less than nix months nor more than two
years.
It provides that any person injured by
a violation of the provisional provisions
of the law may recover threefold dani-
ages.
The definition of "person" and "(icr
sons'" in the recent law i* enlarged bo as
to include the agents, officers or attor
neys of corporations.
Barred Out of the Mails.
For purposes of commerce it declares
illegal all corporations or associations
formed or carrying on business for pur
poses declared illegal by the common
laws; provides that they may be per
petually enjoined from carrying on in
terstate commerce and forbids them the
use of the United States mails.
It provides for the production of per
sons and papers and confers jurisdiction
upon Fnited States circuit and district
courts for the trial of cases under it and
authorizes any person, firm, corporation
or association to begin and prosecute
proceedings under it.
Mr. Overstreet of Indiana, who drew
the report on the bill, occupied the time
for general debate on his side with an
explanation of the proposed amend
ments to the Sherman antitrust law
which it contained.
Amendments Are Voted Down.
The minority amendment to broaden
the language of section '.) was lost 122
to 130.
The minority amendment authorizing
the president to place on the free list
articles in which he is satisfied there is a
combination of trade, was lost, 122 to
133.
The last minority amendment pro
vided that nothing in the act should be
construed to apply to trades unions or
labor organizations. AgairiHt this Mr.
Ray raised the point of order that it was
not germane. The speaker overruled
the point of order, saying that it was in
order under the agreement. The demo
crats? greeted the ruling with cheers.
"Now we have you in the hole," shout
ed some one on +he democratic Bide. But
many of the republicans voted for the
amendment. Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin,
voted with the democrats, and hia vote
was greeted with applause.
Applause From the Democrats.
As each republican voted for it the
democrats applauded. They were es
pecially demonstrative when Mr. Gros
venor, of Ohio, Mr. Roy of New York,
and Mr. Dolliver of lowa, voted in the
affirmative. The amendment prevailed
by an overwhelming majority, 2GO to N.
The announcement was greeted with
cheers on both sides of the house.
The vote was then taken on the pass
age of the bill. On this vote the re
publicans repeated the democratic per
formance of applauding the democrats
as they voted for it. The bill was pass
ed, 273 to 1. Mr. Mann, republican, of
Illinois, voted against the bill.
GENERAL OTIS LANDS.
Says American Soldiers Are in
Good Health.
San Francisco, June i.— After five
days in quarantine at Angel island, Ma
jor General E. 8. Otis, who arrived laßt
Wednesday from Manila, was allowed to
land today. Several cases of smallpox
on board the transport Meade were the
cause of the quarantine and General
Otis and all on board had to submit to
vaccination.
When seen by a representative of the
Associated Press General Otis, in re
sponse to a request that he make a
statement of the situation in the Philip
pines, said that while it would give him
great pleasure to comply with the re
quest, he was constrained to decline for
the reason that such action, in his judg
ment, would be inconsistent with his
duty as an officer of the army.
"War Practically Ended.
Asked what would be the effect on the
war if the report of Aguinaldo's death
was true, General Otis said the war was
practically ended, that Aguinaldo's fol
lowers were deserting him fast, and those
who now remain with him are generally
of the lower class. Most of his officers
have left him, though some still remain
in touch with him. Some of those who
have left him are now engaged in busi
ness in Manila and others are hiding in
the mountains. Many of his closest fol
lowers are more friendly toward the
United States, and as soon as the na
tives in general gain confidence in the
friendly offices and the justice of the
Americans, there will be little difficulty
in bringing them to terms.
Asked as to the commercial value of
the islands, the general said the islands
are vastly rich, especially in hemp, sugar
and tobacco, and that as soon as the
TWENTY-THIRD YKAK
situation became more qaiet business of
ail kinds would increase tremendously
even as it m no* doing.
General <»ti H would not state whether
or not he favored the retention of tbe
islands by this country; in response to
Bucb a query he merely said: "We've
got them now. What' are we to do
about it?'
it isJGaertlla Warfkre.
Regarding tbe number of troop* tad
the condition ol tbe soldiers, General
utissaid: "There are 55,000 effective
troops scattered among the inland, now
engaged in the protection of the people
from guerilla warfare, whirl, j H rampant
in some sections. The general health ol
tbe troops is exceedingly good, the per
centage of sick for the month of April
('•■ iii!,' but about 10 per cent. Tiir \m
encan soldiers can stand the campaign
much better than tbe Filipinos, and es
pecially during the rainy seasons did
tneirgood health impress me. Tbe men
"re becoming acclimated, and though it
may become necessary to send out relief
troops at times, ir will hardly be neces
sary to send soldiers very frequently "
TERRIBLE SCENES IN INDIA.

•'Everywhere I met the most Knocking
and revolting scenes. The famine camps
have been swept by cholera and small
pox. Fugitives, scattering in ail direc

dying in the fields and roadside ditches
Phe numbers at one relief station were

Terrible Death List,
At Godbern there were 3000 'death*
From cholera within four days and at
Dobad 2500 in the same period The
hospital death rate at Godhera and
Dohad was 90 percent.
"Air and water were impregnated with
an intolerable stench of corpses. At Ah

was 10 percent. Everyday I saw new
patients placed face to face with corpses
In every fourth cot then- huh a corpse.
"Flu: thermometer read 115 in the

the uncleansed dysentery patients.
"1 visited the smallpox and cholera

fair.
Dead Devoured By l>o>;8.
"I can fully verify the report* thai
vultures, dogs and jackals are devour
ing the dead. Dogs have been seen run
ning about with children's limbs in their
jaws.
"The(government is doing itn best.but
the native officials are hopetaMlj and
heartlessly inefficient. Between tbefam
mc t lit* plague and the cholera, the con
dition of the Bombay presidency is how
worse than it was at any previous per
