State’s Attorney Healy said to-night that the testimony to be given 'this week would be of a sensational character, and that a number of indictments against both employers and labor leaders would ensue. & It ‘was freely predicted to-night by both tion and sters’ strike will be a thing of the past before the end of the present week. Ac- cording to one of the officials of the Chi- cago Federation of Labor the strike will be called oft themselves, As a sten toward this end it was dé- cided to-day at an executive committée meeting of the Chicago Federation of La- bor to begin missionary work to-morrow with members of the teamsters’ joint council.

In addition to this proposed plan the | moré conservative element among the union men devoted the greater portion of to-day in preparing for the conferencs to-morrow between the representatives of the Employers' Assoclation and a com- mittee from the strikers. This committee will act avart from President Shea and his “board of strategy.” It developed at the meeting of the Fed- eration of Labor to-day that tners exists a great deal of dissatisfaction among the different unions.

Passed by French ‘Chamber OI’EOSIl‘ION CONTINUES Believed That All Sections of Measure Will Be Ap- proved in Another Monthi PARIS, June 18.—The question of the | separation of church and state is still | occupying practically the whole atten- tion of the Chamber of Deputies. The debate has lasted. since When it Is considered that the reform means an utter reversal of the long- standing policy, whien regarded the | church as a constituent part of the! nation, it Is not surprising that the ! discussion has been animated at times. | However, the ardor of the debates seem to uave dled out since the pas- ! sage of the first four sections, tuough the opponents of the measure continue to obstruct its passage to the best of their auaity. Despite this and the long interrup- tions occasioned by the celebration of | three reiigious festivals, Easter, the | Ascépsion and Pentecost, much has| been accomplished. Sixteen sections of | the total of thirty-seven have been | adopted. The fundamental principles | of the new enactment include the dec- | laration that the state does not give official recagnition to religion, the sup- | pression of the public worship budget | and the settlement of the great prob- lem of the disposal of church prop- erty. Th's last forms one of the most difiicult questions raised by the bill. A | method of pensioning members of the | clergy claiming long service has also | been satisfactorily devised. | It only remains now to settle a sys- tem for the formation of the parochial bodies freshly brought into being for the direction of Government religious ! edifices, and also to provide regulations | for the control of the services. These | two points probably will arouse con- siderable argument, but the committee | having the measures in charge shows such willingness to accept reasonable suggestions that it is belleved the en- tire bill will pass through the Cham- ber beforec the long vacation, which will begin about a month hence. several men in the crowd suggested | Proposed move. | that hang the woman on the NI B g, RN T N - T\ spot KING EDWARD SHCWS HIS ‘(‘LBA L\ M(JlR.\I.\G Cdoler counsel prevailed and the | RIENDSHIP TO AMERICANS 2 R ARG i 1] Y a7 search continued.

VERNON, Tex., June 18.—Sam Hilde- brand, the notorious outlaw, who Is wanted by the authoritles in several States, to answer to charges of murder, was recognized yesterday when he called at a country store on the Red River, near here, to purchase supplies. He disap- peared before the officers could be noti- fied. Hildebrand and his brother Frank op- erated in the Southwest and Missouri in ‘66's. .

The old man learned that he had been betrayed and disap- peared the day that the officers came to his farm with a warrant for his arrest.

It was the station which she was first made a prisoner after the strange death of her husband last winter. Sergeant Miller sat in his chair alone ip the room. He recognized the woman as she entered. She was clothed only in her night dress, with a loose robe thrown over it. Her hair was hanging in braids. “The sergeant watched her walk about the room, wondering at her ghastly face. She watked for fully five minutes and them she saw the sergeant sitting behind the desk. “You know me, don't you?" she ed. “Yes; you are Mrs. Noble,” he-re- plied. “I want to see the body of my hus- band.” When he did not answer she said: “They are going to bury him to-mor- row and they will net let me look at him. Won't you let me see him, just for a moment?” A policeman entered at this moment. Miller whispered to him to run to the | Leighton home and call some member of the family. The woman centinued her pleading, refusing to believe that the body of her husband was not there. At length a policeman returned, saying he coujd mot arouse any ome at the house. Sergeant Miller persuaded Mrs. Noble to return home and she started out. A policeman followed her at some distarice. When she reached her door- way, she stopped and called to him: “Won't you please intercede for me? I know they will not let me see him before they bury him.” He promised her he would and watch-~ ed her enter the house.

LONDON, June 18—The Prince of Wales on Baturday inaugurated the new | steamboat servics of the London County | Council on the Thames. To-day there was a tremendous rush of passengers, attract- | ed mainly by curiosity, and the boats were heavily laden. There were several | accidents. | One boat collided with a bridge, and an- other was rammed and so badly damaged that she was obliged to land her passen- gers. Another boat developed a seripus list near Warping, which nearly resulted in a calamity. The passengers .were panic-stricken and many jumped over- board, fearing that the boat was founder- ing. A number of rowboats, observing the plight of the steamboat, put off to the rescue of the passengers, all of whom except one were landed. Fears are ex- pressed that the new steamboats are faulty in design. ——— Dozen Injured in the Subway.
