Y., May 17.—No settle- ment has been reached in the railway strike. After hours of conference the of- ficlals of the United Traction Company and the committee from the organizations of the strikers adjourned without chang- | ing the situation. The company will pro- ceed to run its cars to-morrow on every line within the city limits with the aid of | a military force that now numbers 3000 men The only step toward settlement that was made was the appointment to-night of a committee from the Common Coun- cil to arbitrate and the adoption of a reso- lution declaring that if a settlement is not effected by Monday night the Council shall revoke the franchise of the com- pany. The company declares tkat such action will be of no effect as the road now has a vested right that cannot be taken from it. The reason there is no settlement to- night is because the company refuses to discharge the then brought from other points to take the strikers’ places. Strike Complications Increase. This is a new phase of the difficulty and promises to develop far more conse- quences and impediments in the way of settlement than have been anticipated at | any time since the strike was called. is a matter which had not been considered by the strikers or the public and puts an entirely new aspect on the situation. The company, it is learned, on the wage ques- tion. was willing to increase the wages of the extra men and night trippers to 19% cents per hour. but refused to establish a uniform rate of 20 cents an hour for ail employes, as requested by the strikers. There is a well deficed rumor that the compary will try to move a car in Troy in the morning, and in the event of not re- ceiving proper protection will call on General Roe for militarv assistance.

There was no repeti- tion to-day of the scenes of disorder ana turkbulence that have marked the other days of the strike. There was the same | imposing show of ‘military strength, and in midafternoon 600 additional treops of the Ninth regiment of New York City were added to the already large force now on duty here. Two elements seemed to contribute to the quictness that prevailed—one the gen- eral anticiration of a settlement c? the strike and the other a feeling of sobriety that succeeded the anger and indignation over the killing of Willlam Walsh and | Elroy Smith. More non-union men were breugat into the city, but, contrdry to expectation, their coming did not inflame | sentiment to an appreciable extent. The | Traction Company added part of ancther division to the seétion operated by force of arms auG. as on the preceding day, Dbegan later in the morning and quit early in the evening. Under orders from their officers, the street patrols kept people moving, and it is doubtful if a crowd numbering 500 assembled anywhere in the city during the day. Quail-street barn was again the center | trom which action radiated. A heavy force of troops was massed there, and at 9 o'clock a battalion of the Tweénty-third | Regtment and the signal corps cavalry troop were sent westward to the New York Central tracks and picked up twen- ty-five non-union .men who had been quietly dropped at a crossing some dis- tance from the West Albany station. They were quickly embraced in a hollow square of Infantry and hurried to Quail- | street barn. Once the non-union = men were safe in_the barn, the movement_of cars began. Major Case, who commanded | the battalion in charge at the barn, in- structed his men that in case of attack they were to use their rifie butts, then their bayonets, and, as a last resort, their cartridges. The mounted signalmen were instructed to use first their horses, then the backs of their sabres, next their sabre-blades, and last their revolvers. _ The distribution of troops along the line into the city and out to North Albany was the same as on the previous day, and the whole distance was effectively covered. At several points sharpshooters were stationed on rooftops, and every possible precaution to guard against suc- cessful attack was taken. The first car had glided down into the city before it was generally known that one was in motion, but it attracted only slight notice. ‘The cars carried some guards, who sat with their guns half-aimed, in constant readiness for trouble. The arrival of the Ninth Regiment created a stir that sub- sided 'after it had marched away to its camp on the heights, in South Albany. May Not Employ Special Counsel. The City Attorney advised the Board of Supervisors yesterday that there is_ no warrant for the appointment by the Tax Collector of special counsel to prosecute any suit for unpaid license fees due the city and county. The only authority in the charter for the appointment of an at- torney is one to collect delinquent caxes. This opinion makes illegal the employ- ment of Peter ¥. Dunne to represent the Tax Collector in_ the suits brought against the Pacific States Telephone Com- pany to recover back license taxes on nickel machines. There are forty-two corporations, or cit- ies as they would be called In the United States. which form Greater London, with its 4,000,000 inhabitants. OVERCONTS RE WIS SPECILTY A Daring Room. Thief “Works” Boarding- Houses. The police are anxiously searching for a clever Eastern crook who has been sys- tematically ‘‘working” private boarding- houses, stealing overcoats and other ar- ticles of apparel. His scheme is to ring the bell of some boarding-house and when the servant appears ask for the landlord or landlady. During the temporary ab- sence of the servant he helps himself to the articles that are hanging on the cloak rack and quickly disappears. Yesterday he visited a boarding-house at 712 Sutter street, and meeting the Chi- nese servant he told him he wanteq to see the landlady on important business. While the Chinaman went up stairs to call the mistress of the house the ef fubbed a new cvercoat, which was hang- ng in the hallway, and quickly made hL escape. Several days ago he went to the West- on Sutter street, and trick, getting away with to Members of House Naval Committee ALLEJO, May 17.—The confer- ence and informal reception of the visiting Congressmen at the Lyceum to-night was very in- teresting. With few exceptions every foreman from the navy yard was present, and besides the guests of the evening, Congressmen Foss, Dayton and Metcalf, members of the House Naval Committee, there were —% “SEEHING THER N FPLACE IN LINE. —_ e also present Naval Constructor Zahn. Civil Engineer Holiday and Lieutenant Commander Fechteler. The affair was wholly informal. In the center of the Lyceum meeting room was a long table artistically decorated and laden with delicacies. Around this table the guests and hosts sat and discussed the needs of Mare Islard Navy Yard. Re- liable statements were made by the fore- men, and in a concise, effective way the distinguished guests were shown why it would be to the best interests of the Gov- ernment to foster and improve its navy yards. Eloquent and able addresses were made by the Congressional visitors. L e e e e I B e s ] three overcoats. At least a half-dozen other private boarding-houses have been visited by the audacious crook ana a num- ber of overcoats taken. Anxious to land the thief, Captain Sey- mour has had several of his men looking for him, but without avail. Yesterday three overcoats which were stolen from different houses were recovered from pawnshops, where they had been disposea of for a_trifie by the bold rascal. He is described as being fairly well dressed and rather polished in his speeck. He proba- bly is 30 or 35 years of age and has a light mustache. LITTLE TOT PLAYS WITH LOADED RIFLE \ Seven-Year-Old Child Meets a Tragic Death on a Ranch Near Cayucos. CAYUCCS, May 17.—Little Mary Betten- court, aged 7 years, a daughter of Jose Bettencourt, met a tragic death last even- ing at the dairy ranch of Joseph Machado Rels, ten miles east of here. The child was spending the day at the Rels resi- dénce. When the family went out to do the evening milking she was left alone in the house with her playthings. A boy returning to the house found the child lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood. A bullet had entered above her right eye and passed through her head. By her side was a 22-calibep rifle containing an empty shell. It is supposed that on being left alone the child found the loaded rifie behind the door and while playing with it discharged it.

The start was made from the Hotel Pleasanton and the route lay first out to Van Ness avenue, where several hundred much disappointed school children were standing waiting for the President to pass. Then down the avenue to Market street and the City Hall, where, after a { turn or two was taken around the Lick statuary, the party rode to the Mint by way of the new postoffice. The visitors were taken through the Mint and then a course was laid for down town. The sub-treasury, on Merchant street, the Appraiser's building and the old postoffice and custom-house were in- spected, and then the party turned Into East street and took in the water front. A side trip up Market street to the Dona- hue fountain was taken, and then a trip down to the transport dock. Then a run was made out Market street to Eighth. Here the party broke up. but the ride was not ended. for each chauffeur took his guest to the park or the Clff House or tle Presidio or on some trip of interest. The guests and their hosts were as fol- lows: Juilus Kahn with S. D. Rogers, president of the club; R. M. Nevin of Dayton, Ohlo, with E. Broocke Ridley, treasurer of the club: Em: mett Tompkins of Columbu: Ohto, with Charles Heineman: General Charles Dick of Akron, Ohlo, with F. A. Hyde; J. F. Safroth of Colorado with Willlam Ede; J.

Belshaw of Marin and Cortra Costa, who went to Mare Island with John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, and the visiting Congressmen, speak’ highly of the prospect of the nav yard. According to all accounts the Con- gressional visitors are convinced that the navy-yard is able to bufld a first class cruiser or gunboat. Representative George E. Foss of Ilil- nois, chairman of the House Committee op Naval Affairs, and Representatives Alsten G. Dayton of West Virginia and Victor H. Metcalf of California, members of the naval committee, did not return to San Francisco with the main party. but remained at Vallejo all night to listen to the Board of Trade and talk with the foremen of the yard. These Congressm made diligent. inquiry regarding the pacity of the yard, the cost of labor and materials and the depth of water in the channel. The information obtained will be useful to Congress when the question of ordering the construction of warships up again comes for consideration in ‘Washington. WOMAN PRYSIAS S M. E VS Spectal Dispatch to The Call STOCKTON, May -Attorney W. B. Nutter is in receipt of a letter from Ma- rion de Vries, member of the Board of General Appraisers in New York, stating that the ex-Congressman has been great- ly benefited - by a woman physician, formerly of this city, after expert New York doctors had failed to relieve him.

At that time Mrs. Dr. Freeman. formerly of Stockton but now studying in New York, made a friendly call upon the Stocktonia She ascertained his condition and then r quested to be allowed to call in a physi- cian :send of hers for a consultation.
