turns, have been clue and unpaid for
nidiiy j ears, through almost as many

tionary chiefs that periodical revolutions
ought to cease, because they interrupt
commercial relations with other countries
and augment the debt of Santo Domingo,
which Is without means to pay foreign
creditors.
The Minister said further that these pe
riodical revolutionr endanger the peace of
his Government and of the Governments
of other nations, and that the present
revolution, if continued, would Imperil the
sovereignty of Santo Domingo.

St. Louis Nov. 23. IMt. To the
Major: We take the liberty of call
ing your personal attention to tho
jnoprlety of a testimonial from the
people of the State to the battle
ship Missouri.
It has seemed to us that the repu
tation of the State for llbenlity and
public -pir't required a girt at least
as valuablt and decorative as thoso
pirsi nl--d tij other States lo the
ships beaiing their names.
Tlie Artists' Guild of St. Ixmis
has nirangod to place a bell on the
Missouri. 'I hough this is graceful
and commendable, the State should
go further. While the form of gift
will be tie'-ratified later it seems
that its character should be hi
keeping whh tlio position of MIs
souil among patriotic American
Coimmnwealths.
In order that the tcstlmor.ini may
hao that character, and ai?o bo

esk that ou invite and receive con
tribiitions.ir jour city. If you can
secure, in donations of rrom 50

As most of the contributions to the
Battlc-hip Testimonial mnd have been
from St. Louis, 300 copies of the above let
ter will be sent to-day to the Mayors of
the various towns, both those that have
reported progress in raising a fund In
their towns and those who have not yet
had the matter called to their attention" in
an official manner..
Since Governor Doekery sanctioned the
efforts of the St. Luls committee to rnlHe
the fund throughout the State there have
been many subscriptions sent to The Re
public. Some of them were raised through tho
efforts of the Mayors of the towns, in
one instance the acting Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Missouri went among the people
of his own town Senator Rubev lives In
r ..10.... , .
.-..ii lata aim raiseu 111 one Hour mole
than the others, taken all together, have
et reported to either The Republic or the
treasurer of the General Committee
H has been pointed out that If one dis
tinguished citizen of a town of only 1,300
Inhabitants (the populaUon of LaPlata)
can raise such a subscription by an appeal
to the patriotism of his townsmen, other
towns of ninny times the size of LaPlnta
should be better icpres-ented In the fund
than by one or two subscriptions made by
the leading citizen".
ST. IaMCIS CH'B ACTION.
Action will be taken by the St. Louis
Club after a meeting of Its directors, to
he held tills week. As a considerable
fund has been raied through individual
Miscriptinn. of the members of the Mer
cantile Club, and as other organizations
are working to make a representative ad
dition to tlie testimonial. It Is thought that
the largest subscriptions to the fund out
side the business organizations will be
made by tho clubs.
Professor John C Van Oriiuni. member
01 me .Mayors Committee. Is getting sub
scriptions fiom the civil and mechanical
engineers throughout the State. A com
mittee., composed of members of thu Ln
gineers' Club of St. Louis, has been ap
pointed by Professor Van Ornum, and is
at woik.
Partial reports have been made hy sev
eial of the committees, and all are striv
ing to have as many names on their litts
hy December 1 as possible.
A prominent member of the committee
uppolnted by the Major said jesterday:
"There Is Utile doubt that the fund will
lie as large as that raised by any other
State for a similar piirKisP. The patriot
ism 01 citizens or Missouil would he
called In eiucstlon if they failed in this
duty which citizens of other States have
performed so well.
"While I have no preference in the mat
ter of the form of the testimonial, it
should be at least as handsome and costlj
as the gift of any other State. I think the
citizens as a wholo appreciate the honor
that has heii done their State, and I have
no doubt hut that they will respond In a
lilting manner."
No final decision as to the stjle- ejf gift
will be reached until tlie fund Is all in
the hands of tlie treasurer. A meeting of
the General Committee wilt be allied for
December 1. when discussion of tin., slj le
of gift .will bo Ihe piinclpai business.

He was engaged In his duties last night.
Ills wife sat In a back room of their home

A dog, which has become a pet of the
family, has the freedom of the hail during
the night and -Mrs. Gallagher thought that

that the dog would open the door with his
paw and enter.
The door was opened, but instead of the
dog a man wearing a black mask entereu.
For a moment Mrs. Gallagher was unable
to speak from surprise and fright. When
she recovered her powers and endeavored
to scream the stranger seized her by the
throat and said he would choke her if
she tried to utter a sound.
Ho then asked If there was any money

gave It to the robber.

move or epeak for live minutes. As soon
ns the man had left her. however. Mrs.
Gallagher ran to the house of a neighbor
screaming that she had been robbed.

Ills Investigation showed that the burglar
had entered bv a window In the base

Mrs. Gallagher said that the burglar's
hands were white. He was about 5 feet
10 inches tall, she thinks, and wore rub

STRIKERS TO BE REINSTATE
This Is the Only ImjHirtant Cor.
cession Made by the Company
Cars to Bun on All
Lines To-Dav.
Chicago. Nov. 2-C The strike of the em
ployes of the Chicago CItj- Railway was
settled at an early hour this morning- at
a conference between the Maj-or. the Al
dermanle Peace Committee. President
Hamilton and E. R. Bliss-, counsel for the
companj-. and the Executive Board of tho
local union of the strikers.
The haIo on which tlie settlement was
reached is a complete victory for the com-par.j-.
as far as the original demands of
the men were concerned. The agreement
reached will he ratified at a meeting' of
the men at 3 o'clock thin morning; and it
is expected that trafllc on all lines of the
companj- will be resumed to-daj-.
The onlj- Important concession maele by
the companj- was an agreement to rein
state alt the strikers. Including the out
side unions who went out in sympathy
with tlie trainmen, with the exception of
those who resorted to violence durinp the
trouble.
The arbitration of the wage scale Is to
be according to the wages paid outside of
Chicago and not on the basis of the local
street railways.
These are the- two points that have been
the stumbling block to a peaceable ad
justment of the strike for the past week.
The company has insisted that it pays
higher wages than any similar corpora
tion In tlie counlrj-. The men were fear
ful that arbitration on the scale paid in
other cities would decrease their -wages,
pd they fousht stubbornly for their
point. ,
DEMANDS AND AGREEMENTS.
The original demands of the union wert
as follows:
1. An Increase in wages amounting to 4
cents an hour for all men cmploj-ed on tho
electric lines; before the strikes the men
offered to accept 1 cent an hour. Both
sides were at all times willing to arbitrate
the wage scale, the basis of arbitration
being the sole point at issue, and on this
the company wins.
2. The empioj-ment of none but union
men. On this point the company wins.
3. That the officials of the union be giv
en tho right to say what men shall b
discharged, and their discharge not to
stand if it did not meet the approval of
the union. On this point the company
wins.
i. The right of tlie union torcgulatc the
routing of cars, it being claimed by them
that a man was compelled to be on dutv
for fifteen to twtntj- hours in order to
make a full daj-'s paj-. On this point the
company wins.
5. Demanded b.v the union after sjmpa
thetic strikes had been started bj- firemen,
engineers, electrical workers and team
sters within two days after signing con
tracts, that all men should be taken back
and given their former positions. The
agreement is that all men not guilty of
violence toward the company during tho
striko are to be taken back. Others will
remain out. This to the only advantage
obtained bj- the strikers.
