Agreement Reached at nen tiesc: Held in John B. McDonald’s Office—Ar- bitration Is Accepted on Both Sides, butaFirst Strikers Must Ratify It. Meeting Was Attended by Represent- atives of the Central Federated Union, Which Undertakes that the Men Shall Return to Work, Differences to Be Adjusted Afterward. An agreement was reached this afternoon between the sub-contractors om the subway and the Central Federated Union representing the striking bxoavators and rockmen, The meeting was held in John B. McDonald's office. ; By this agreement, which remains to be ratified by the strikers, they are to return to work and the question of wages is to’ be submitted bo arbitration. It is believed that the men will all be back at work in lorty-elght hours. ‘The sub-contractors are not working in harmony. The Degnon-Mc- Lean Company was not represented at the meeting. Mr. Degnon refused lo treat with the Central Federated Union committee. He is In favor of filling the places of the strikers unless they return to work without nego- ations. His company has 6,000 negroes at work in Maryland building the Western Maryland Railroad, and could import 2,000 without difficulty. The negroes would work for $1.40 a day. A meeting of the Interborough Company, which is to operate the Subway in connection with the Manhattan “L," was ‘held this afternoon, tad reports concerning the strike were made by Mr. McDonald. What dotion was taken could not be learned. BROOKLYN TROUBLE A MISUNDERSTANDING. \ Investigation showed to-day that the trouble among the Italian Iabor- ers of Brooklyn yesterday resulted Jargely.from a misunderstanding. ‘There are rival organizations of the men, one the American Federation of Wabor, with headquarters at No. 143 Hudson street, and thé other the National Labor Associntion, with headquarters at No. 74 Troy street. © i Edson Lawrence, President of the latter ‘body, ‘called out his men. ‘The American Federation, which has three times as many members, thought the order came from thelr own officers and they obeyed it, too. When they found they were mistaken there were confusior and quar- Subsequently the Federation also ordered a strike. The striking -soevators and rockmen who sought to win thelr point by ‘iolence yesterday “were surprisingly quiet to-day, due possibly to the vigor- ‘ous treatment that was accorded them by the police. Another deterrent to ‘violence was the advice of their leaders, who counselled them at all their meetings last night to remain at home until the strike is settled. ‘The subway and all public works in the boroughs of Brooklyn and the Bronx were under police guard to-day. The police were ready for business. They wore their old clothes, carried nightsticks in their hands and loaded revolvers in their pockets. A few of the strikers returned to work in the Bronx. The Italians in that part of the city were more concerned about the affairs of their union io-day than about getting others to quit work. It was rumored about their headquarters that one of their leaders had fled to Italy with $7,000 of the $18,000 fund they had raised for strike purposes. If this is true it will break the strike in the Bronx. Inspector Titus said that if there had been a defalcation it had not been reported to him. There was no trouble to-day in this city and the police said they did not believe any would occur. TROUBLE AT THE BIG DAM. rels. A successful demonstration by several hundred Italian strikers before |. Mcceterty the diggers and shovellera who reported for work at the Muscoot Dam to- |i Rl Pe day was the first labor disturbance of the day. The laborers at wrk on the dam for Contractor John B, McDonald |> had announced their satisfaction with the wages paid and said they would not strike. But the strikers, who have harassed the McDonald contracts, especially along the subway, said they would drive the men from the trenches, and they appeared at the dam severa) hundred strong shortly before 7 o'clock. The first laborers to start to work were hooted and howled at. A few stones were thrown, and as the number of laborers increased a leader in the \crowd of strikers shouted a phrase ip Italian and a dash was made upon the works. Before the yelling and maddened mob the laborers dropped their tools and fled, Then the strikers sent up a shout of victory. Word was sent for the police. The strikers became aware of this and, not wishing to mix up with the police, who, following the riots of yesterday, were ready to use their weapons, the strikers disappeared down the valley. When they had gone some of the frightened laborers were Inducod to return to thelr work, Of all the Italians arrested during the rioting in Brooklyn not one was unarmed, and most of them carried stilettos, while the others had revolvers, ‘Phe recent exposure of the Mafla murders has also caured fear, and it ts only with the assistance of the police that the contractors have been able to find men | 2 willing to take the places of the Italians, CANFIELD PLANS WOULD STOP A TO SAIL IN JUNE.

THE SHOCK OF THE COLLISION. 4 Off Hog Island the H<milton passengers were suddenly shocked and thrown from their berths. In an instant all was confusion and persons tumble. out of their staterooms and berths to learn that there had been a collision, In the darkness could be :2en across the bows of the Hamilton a steamer about her own size. Those on board the othe: ste:mship shouted that they were sinking, and in reply to questions answered she was the cues timer Saginaw. The Sagiraw had been struck about twenty-five feet from the stern on the port ide and her s'ern had been cut through as cleanly as if it were done by men ina dry-dock. The stern sunk almost immediately and the forward part of her drifted several hundred yards. As soon as possible the boats of the Hamilton, which had been made ready after the collision and about which the passengers gathered until assured there was no danger to the }'1milton, were lowered. The Saginaw also lowered boats, ° In the darkness could be heard the cries of those on the Saginaw. The thick fog made it impossible for the crew of the Hamilton to, work quickly, and in a few minutes after the boat reached her the Saginaw was going down. The Saginaw settled slowly and ther went down ‘vith a suction that almost drew the boats of the Hamilton after her.
