NO INGIVIDUAL SETTLEMENT CHICAGO EMPLOYERS REJECT EF- FORTS FOR PARTIAL CALL- ING OFF OF STRIKE. Chicago, June 7.—There are rumors of peace in the teamsters’ strike, but it is not in sight; in fact, it is no near- er than it was May 20, when the Team- sters’ Joint Council refused the plan then proposed. A committee representing the rank and file called on some employers dur- ing the day with a view to settling the strike with individual employers. A condition of setilement was non-deliv- ery to the railway express companies. The committee was given to under-; stand thalt the settlement must be with all nmE(),\’ors or none. The natiottal executive board was in session cousidering means of settle- ment, but FPresident Shea said the strike will go on, the rank and file being opposed to a “dishonorable set- tlement.” Iy his view the team own- ers will not discharge diivers for re- fusing to make deliveries to boycotted houses, “as their action will be con- trolled the small dealers who are benefitted by the strike.” The Team Owne: ociation will not take ac- tion until the truck drivers decide what they will do if forced to make deliveries to the boycotted houses. Charges of perjury and subornation of perjury have been made in the con- tempt c before Judge Kohlsaat and an investigation will probably be or- dered. COLUMBI;N KNIGHTS IN WRECK.

Summer Terrors N Acne, Tetter Eczema., Salt Rheum Psoriasis ettle Rash An itching, burning skin disease during the hot, sultry summer weather, is a positive terror and a veritable demon of discomfort. The intolerable itching and stinging are tanta- lizing almost beyond endurance, and the unsightly eruption and rough, red skin keep one thoroughly uncomfortable and miserable night and day. Fczema, Tetter, and diseases of this type are caused by acid poisons in the blood, which the heat of summer seems to warm into life and renewed activity. These fiery acids keep the blood in a riotous and sour condition, and the skin unhealthy and feverish—they inflame the pores and retard perspi a- tion, when the whole body feels like an over-heated furnace, and the escaping poison burns TORMENTING ECZEMA.

PREMIER TAKES VACANT . PORTFOLIO M. ROUVIER WILL ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT TANGLE IN FOREIGN RELATI?NS. Paris, June T7.—Foreign Minister Delcasse has resigned and his resig- nation has been accepted. Rremier Rouvier will assume temporarily the .portfolio of minister for foreign af- fairs. Later it was announced that M. Rou- vier would hold the portfolio of foreign affairs indefinitely, probably yielding the ministry of finance (which he di- rects in addition to being premier) in order to devote his entire attention to the solution of the troubled foreign situation. The resignation of M. Delcasse is due to the failure of French policy in Morocco, the sultan having practically rejected France’s pians for the reform of the administration of Morocco by proposing that the whole subject be submitted to a conference of the pow- ers signatory of the treaty of Madrid. M. Delcasse tendered his resignation April 21, but he was prevailed upon to retain the portfolio of foreign affairs. On that occasion, in addition to the controversy over his Moroccan poliey, the foreign minister had been severe- ly criticised for his alleged action in permitting French officials in the Far East to connive at Russian breaches of neutrality in those waters, which the French government emphatically denied.

Binghampton, N. Y., June 7.—The tornado which passed over this section during the night was the severest ever experienced in the southern Llier of counties. The results of its destruc- tive work in this city were four houses completely wrecked and a hundred others badly damaged~ Trees were uprooted, roofs taken from houses and hurled across streets and sidewalks were lifted and carried in some in- stances hundreds of feet.

St. Petersburg, June T—As a result of the meeting of the council of minis- ters this afterzoon instructions have been telegraphed to the Russian Am- bassadors at Washington and Paris that Russia is desirous of learning the Japanese peace conditions. St. Petersburg, June 7.—It is believed here that Emperod Nicholas- has de-! cided to accept the offer of President Raosevelt §in the interest of peace. The American embassador was re- ceived in special audience today by the czar and the former sent a long cipher dispatch to Washington, It is the opinion here that the end oi the long war is now in sight. 3 Paris, . June 7.—A. dispatch to the semi-ofiicial Temps from St. Peters- burg says: “It is learned from an authoritative source that the unanimous efforts of | the foreign ministers here are directed towards peace and they are expected to succeed shortly.” Information reaching here gives a ! decidedly more hopeful view to the! peace outlook. This is particularly | true concerning the unity of the for-; eign pressure which is heing exerted. | Although it is not yet evident that Russia will yield to these influences the exchanges, in which Berlin is tak- ! ing an important part, are considered lkely to exert a strong tendency to- wards the initiation of peace negotia- tens. It is the understanding: here that Germany and the United States are now taking the foremost part in | the efiorts towards peace, with other | powers lending them strong moral support.
