COMMITTEE IS HOPEFUL. The executive committee, which is com- posed of I. W. Hellman, Joseph 8. Tobin, President brook and Tirey L. Ford, was in session until late last evening. At the close of the evening meeting the committeemen appeared hopeful that the strike would | come to an early close. They explained that they were handicapped, as all mat- ters in connection with the strike before being settled had to be submitted to the powers in the East. The general opinion around the Wells- Fargo building is that the local directors are only too anxious to settle the sfMke at once, but are restrained by the. East- ern capitalists. It is rumored that the chief thorn in the side of the Eastern street railroad men is the reinstatement included in the telegram, and wire ' Hour after hour they | Arthur Holland, Charles Hol- | ant to take back any one who has béen discharged. They also feel that they lave the right to say whom they will employ without regard to union interference.

Should this agreement be accepted by the Eastern railroad men the delega- tion of the striking streetcar men will be immediately notified. = VINING IS IGNORED.

After a -long conference of the execu- tive committee at 6:30-o’clock last even- ing Charles Holbrook and I, W. Hellman came from the office of President Hol- land. When questioned- Holland made the following statement: “We have Gons everything we can and now we are walting a reply from the Eastern owners of the roads. We desire to ‘be fair; but naturally we have to de- fer to the people whose outlay has been so great. They have invested twenly- turee millions of dollars and consequently they must be considered in this matter.'I wculd like to know that the_ difference could be arranged to-day,but I can hardly hope that there will be a decision until to-morrow.

Sen- ator Bard brings news of a “find” re- cently made.in Washington, that may re- sult in an allowance of $88,000 additional for the San Pedro breakwater.

Will Act on Outcome of Strike in This City. OAKLAND, April 25.—There are indica- tions that the carmen of Oakland will act on the outcome of the strike in San Francisco. It is sa'd that a meeting will be held by the men to-morrow evening to determine what they shall do looking toward making a demand for an increase of pay to 25 cents an hour. None of the carmen on this side of the bay are members of the Amalgamated Streetcar Men's Association, but they are very strongly organized 2s a local Car- men's Benevolent and Social Club. It is sald ‘that every man employed on the street rallroad system of Oakland, Ala- medsa and Berkeley is a member of this organization. It is unlikely that there will be any strike .in Oakland, for the men and the managers of the streetcar lines have al- ways been able to negotiate their differ- ences and there is no disposition on the part of the raflroad management to in- terfere with the railroad men’s organiza- tion.: Labor Council Notes. .. A communication from the Ship and Steamboat Joiners’ Union was presented at the meeting of the Labor Council last night indorsing the carmen’s strike and promising the strikers finaneial support. In view of the arrival of the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor in this city next July, the execu- tive committee of the Labor.Council was authorized to make suitable preparations for the entertainment of the ~members when they come.

TO EXPLOIT PHILIPPINES. The dominant idea of the bill now before the Senate, said he, was to exploit the Philippines. It was proposed to make a wholesale grant of franchises and conces- sions and to dispose of the people’s lands to foreign syndicates and corporations without giving the people themselves any voice in the business. The whole bill.was a pitiful evasion of a plain duty. We had a right to demand and the Filipinos have a right to demand that the administration shall at least define its policy in’ the Phil- ippines. “Upon what fact or experience,” he asked, ‘“did they b: their belief in the purity of carpetbag government?’ He spoke of the “horrors of carpetbag government in the South,” and said: “The Republicans gave no heed to the ery of an oppressed and plundered people, though they were their own people,. of their own bloed.” He declared that from the very first aute break there had been a. conspiracy to sup< press jthe truth and to. whitewash- every outrage in the Philippines. In conclusion, he said that he had not been influenced in this matter by any low desire for party advantage. He only wished to see the country recalled from the bloody doctrines -of bloody.men and return to the peaceful paths by which she had ascended in safety and securlty ta glory and power. 3 DAY IS ACQUITTED.
