It is expected that all of the departments, with the ex- ception of one biast furnace, the machine shops and the wire mills, will be closed on Saturday night. The coal supply within the fence of the plant is about 30,000 tons, which is less | than three weeks' supply for the entire plant. Not enough coal is being received to warrant continuing the various depart- | ments in operation, Until recently about 6000 men have been | employea at the plant. Although no statement has been made as to the num- ber that will be affected by the suspension | of operations, a conservative estimate would bring the number to 4000. —_—————————— FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS ACT OF TOBACCO COMPANY Decides That It Had the Legal Right to Refuse to Sell Its | Goods. ST. PAUL, Nov. 12.—The United States Court of Appeals decided to-day that the Continental Tobacco Company did not | violate the interstate commence law of the anti-trust law when it refused to | sell Joseph P. Whitwell, a St. Paul to- bacco dealer, its manufactured product. The court says: The tobacco company and its competitors were not dealers in articles of prime necessity, as corn or meal, nor wers they rendering pub- lic or quasi public service, ltke a railroad company. Each them, therefore, has the right to refuse to sell its commodities at any price. The court goes further and says that the acts of the tobacco company are noth- ing more nor less “than the lawful exer- | cfse of thelr unquestioned rights, which | are indispensable to the existence of com- | petition or the conduct of trade. Judge Sanborn wrote the opinion, which | was concurred in by Judges Thayer and Vandevanter. —————— SURGEONS FEAR KAISER MAY OVERTAX HIS VOICE | Experience Great Difficulty in En- | forcing Rule That He Must Only Whisper. BERLIN, Nov. 12.—The greatest difi- culty of Emperor William's physicians 1s to keep him from overtaxing his volce. They have ruled that he must only whis- per a little, and, while he is not forget- ful of their command, he whispers a good deal and occasionally utters an exclama- tion. State business is piling up. Various matters in which the Emperor is person- ally interested are developing and he is unable to* discuss them, but he listens to the views and writes suggestions, though the pencil runs too slowly and he breaks out occasionally with whispered remarks pitched near the surgeons’ dan- ger line. No special harm has been done yet, but as time passes the Emperor’s im- patience increases. —_——————— LONDON, Nov. 12.—Commander Peary, the Arctic explorer, was presented with the Liv- ingstone gold medal by the Royal ical Bociety of Edinburgh to-night and at the same time Was made an honorary member of the soclety in recognition of his work in Arctic exploration, A 5/ 2 g2 i i 4. - el | FOE OF UNIONS WHO HAS BEEN IMPORTED BY CHICAGO EMPLOY- ERS, THE LAKE CITY'S MAYOR AND BILLIONAIRE WHO I8 FIGHTING THE COAL MINERS IN COLORADO. Ex — and Succeed in Railway |Lake City Mobs Attack Non-Union Crews Tying Up Entire System. HICAGO, Nov. 12. — Constant scenes of disorder throughout a district approximately of ffty square miles in extent resulted to- day from the institution of the strike by employes of one of the two principal surface street railway companies in Chicago. All along the lines, wherever cars were started, strike sympathizers made desperate onslaughts upon the crews, beginning at dawn of day and con- | tnuing as long as cars remained on the tracks. The tie-up was made complete. A number nf cars were wrecked, and that no person was killed was no fault of the rioters. One man’s back was broken. The first shot of the strike was fired at | Wentworth avenue and West Sixty-ninth street, where several hundred persons tried to hold up a train. Many persons, chiefly non-union street car men, were injured by flylng stones or splintered glass. Two women were among those hurt. Excepting a few dozen passengers, who had to flee from the cars, the 300,000 daily patrons of the company were forced to try all sorts of other methods in order to get down town and buck. MAYOR HARRISON NEUTRAL. With faces and hands bleeding from the attacks by strikers, the motormen, grip- men and conductors who tried to run trains entered the barns and refused to g0 out again unléss the trains bore pla- toons of policemen or patrol wagons were alongside. The police confined their ef- forts to seeing that the passage of cars from the barn was unobstructed and that crowds and blockades in the streets were This was done under or- ders from Mayor Harrison, whose an- nounced purpose was to preserve an im- partial attitude, taking sides neither for nor against the strikers or the street car company, which, though known as the Chicago City Rallway, is a private cor- poration. 1Its lines extend through the south side of the city, radiating from the business center. Developments regarding the action of the municipal administration hinge large- ly upon a new official, Herman F. Schut- tler, who to-day, under appointment by the Mayor, assumed the duties of Assist- ant Chief of Police. Schuttler will be in direct charge of police arrangements dur- ing the contest. His duties heretofore have been restricted to the north side of the city, a section entirely removed from the scene of the present difficulty and not penetrated by the lines of the city rall- way. Schuttler is the man who tracked and arrested Anarchist Louis'Linng after the Haymarket riot and subsequently sent Adolph Lustgert, the wealthy sausage manufacturer, to die, under conviction of wife murder. Schuttler is about 6 feet 4 inches tall. He has a remarkable record for -personal daring and astuteness. TALK OF INTERVENTION. The possibility of Federal intervention, under certain conditions, is being dis- cussed. The situation in this respect was outlined to-day by Postmaster Coyne, who said: . T! thy hus far there le no cause for alarm as to mail service. It is true trains have been deiayed, but that is not serious enough to re- port to Washington. The street car company owns the mail cars, and by contract is obliged to run themn in separate trains and deliver mail at specified points. There is no sround (ornob‘lre‘clllon: inst the eompany sending out ma Ins tween pa T T e e i e and act on Spd act o Instructions from the Postoffice Before nightfall President D. G. Ham- iiton and General Counsel Bliss of the railway company, after ' endeavoring to operate cars in deflance of the trainmen, announced after a conference with Mayor Harrison that the attempt would be aban- doned for the day. The railway officials declare that 30 per cent of their employes are loyal, and that if accorded sufficient protection by the Police Department the company will be able to man and ope- rate its cars. A further effort to run cars each car accompanied by a squad of po- | lice in a patrol wagon, will be made, it is expected, to-morrow. WAGONS REPLACE CARS. As a result of the tie-up of the surface lines the elevated and steam roads tra- versing the strike bounds were taxed to their utmost capacity. Train service on ) &1l lines was doubled and an effort made to accommodate the thousands of addi- tional passengers. Meanwhile bus lines, hacks and express wagons with impro- vised seats did a thriving business In transporting passengers. The strike is the outcome of persistent demands for increased wages. To-day about 3000 men, practically the entire forces of the company’'s wage earners, were idle, the number at any time run- ning cars belng but a small fraction of the number usually at work. The company’s stationary firemen, who also have presented demands upon the company for increased wages, and to whom the trainmen looked for assistance, declined to go out, expressing their bellef, after a conference with General Manager McCulloch of the rallway company, that he had not refused arbitration, ‘The committee representing the firemen offered its services to the company as mediators. Whether or not the offer will be accepted has not been decided. WILL START CARS TO-DAY. The attempt to run passenger trains with non-union crews was abandoned dur- ing the afterncon and, with the excep- tion of the mail car service, which was carried out according to the regular schedule, traffic on all lines controlled by the company was at a complete stand- still. According to statements made by the officials to-night, as many trains as can be manned by non-union crews will be pressed into service for the early morn- ing rush to-morrow. FEach train will carry a half dozen policemen as a body guard to protect the crews from the vio- lence of strike sympathizers. Derogatory remarks regarding the un- fon by an armed non-union employe of the company caused a riot at Thirty- sixth and State streets to-night. The man was chased into a store near by and before the police could reach the spot a mob of 2000 persons surrounded the place, howling for the life of the refugee. A squad of police, after a great deal of difficulty, finally quelled the disturbance and removed the man to a place of safety. Although the full list of the injured in the street car strike rioting to-day is un- doubtedly large, the police secured the names only of those whose wounds were of a serious nature. The most serious | cases probably are those of H. S. Orton, a conductor, who was beaten while try- ing to run a Cottage Grove-avenue cable train, and his gripman, Willlam Watson. Besides being hit by missiles, these men were dragged from their car by the riot- ers and beaten. Orton may not live. Albert Barren, a non-union motorman on the Wentworth-avenue line, was taken to his home unconscious from having been hit on the head with a brick, but he will recover. Two men at the Seventy- seventh-street barns were badly bruised by missiles thrown by rioters. ———— Accepts Position as Industrial Agent.

Dismisses Him Because of His Lack of Moderation in Handling Rioters. kAL A MOSCOW, Nov. 12.—General Dragomir- | off, the retired Governor General of Kieff, | | has left here for his estates, the Czar hav- | iing no further use for his services. The | | circumstances of the summary dismissal | of General Dragomiroff have just leaked | | out. They strikingly {llustrate the hu-’ manitarfan ideas of the Russian ruler. | Dragomiroff lost favor and his office be- | | cause he did not show moderation in quel- | ling the recent strike riots at Kieff, which | practically involved all the working peo- | ple of the town. Hearing that the strik- | ers might cause a repetition of the Kish- | | inev scenes, Dragomiroff called out the | | artillery and caused a wholesale slaughter | of the ricters. It is said several hundred | of them were killed. When the Czar heard | the facts he at once dismissed Drago- | muroft with the words: “I cannot have that man at Kieff any longer. His hands are stained with human blood.” | ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12.—The result | of the Inquiry Instituted by the Czar into | the cause of the increasing poverty of the peasantry has been published. It is a highly important document, and in a | supplement to the Czar's manifesto on eivil and religious rights it recommends the education of the peasants. | The commission appointed to carry out the inquiry was thoroughly representa- tive, containing village elders and landed | proprietors as well as Government offi- | clals. They attribute the' decline in pres- ent prosperity to oppressive passport reg- | ulations, labor restrictions and lack of education. @ cimiirieleieieieleieieieeliidlel @ PLANG ATTACK (IPON GANNIBALS Northern Miner Would | Slaughter Island Tribe.

RHIN DELIGHTS THE STOCKMEN Monterey County Reaps “Great Benefit From Downfall. SALINAS, Nov. 12—A gentle rain began falling early this morning and still con- tinues steadily with a prospect of long continuance. The precipitation, while it may retard beet pulling, means thousands of dollars to stock owners and to the farmers in this valley. Reports from the south are that it Is raining as far as the county line. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 12.—Heavy rains have fallen in the mountains and in the foothills above the city. Blua Canyon, on the line of the Southern Paclfic, reports a downpour of 470 inches for the twenty- four hours ending at 7 o'clock this morn- ing. Heavy rains have fallen at Emigrant Gap, Dunsmuir and at Diamond Springs. Farmers are rejoicing over the heavy downpour, as it will permit of the early ving of crops. sol:",\rf"A‘ Nov. 12.—Wednesday and to-day a heavy and steady rain has fallen, mak- ing the season’s total 211 inches. Last year at this time 10.25 inches had fallen. MILTON, Nov. 12.—Rain began falling | here about 11 a. m., mccompanied by a brisk southeasterly wind, indicating a storm of the same proportions. Grass is coming on nicely and weather conditions are all that could be desired. Professor McAdie of the weather bu- reau says that yesterday's storm was one of the most peculiar that he has ever ob- served. It appeared heavy and of com- siderable extent in the morning, but later in the day it divided. Ome storm went east at the rate of nearly eighty miles an hour and the other circled over Eastern California and Nevada. What rain fell in San Francisco was only a few drops from the ragged edge of the main storm. McAdie states that clouds bearing an immense amount of molsture passed over the city last night on their way to Ne- vada. The winds raged and the floods de- scended all day in the sagebrush State. The rainfall at the Farallones was .01 of an inch, in San Francisco .06 of an inch and on Mount Tamalpais more than an inch and a half. The storm had not reached Fresno at 5 o'clock last night, but the forecaster predicts rain for the south for to-day. In this city the weath- er will be a little clearer to-day, but an- other storm is thought to be on the way here. T Rainfall in Oakland. ¢ QAKLAND, Nov. LABORERS FIND ANGIENT CARVING Interesting Discovery in a British Colum- bia City. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 12—A re- markable plece of antique carving, which must be close upon one thousand years old, was dug up to-day in the making of an excavation In the center of Vancouver. It seemingly had been made at some primeval date by Indians. The carving is of brown sandstone and the work must have been done with a sharp piece of flint or slate. It is about ten inches long and three wide and weighs three pounds. Its two sections are united by a thin slice of the stone. Ome section is a bowl and the other is a carving of a bear’s head. The long snout, the mouth and eyes are so cleverly carved as to be easily recognizable as an imita- tion of a bear’s head. But the details of the finding of the relic are most Interesting. It was under the decayed stump of an immense cedar tree. The stump looked as if it had been dead nearly a hundred years and it must have been growing for five or six cen- turies at least. The carving was imme- diately below the heart of the tree, so that it may have been made by some in- dustrious native of bygone times, who lived ages before this tree began to grow. ————— PREFECT FAILS TO SETTLE SPANISH MINERS' STRIKE Manager of the Rio Tinto Company Refuses to Comply With Demands of the Men.
