Oiticago despatch: The strike of to the excellent work done leg the the employees of the Chicago City Railway was settled at an early hour this morning, at a conference between the Mayor, the Aldermanic Peace Committee, President Hamil- ton and E.

At times during the strike there was a possibility that the city, would be plunged in a great labor war, and then we might have had serious trouble, but as it is, we have escaped all that, and everything has been settled.

It is estimated that the strike has cost the Company a loss The basis on "which the settlement was reached is a complete victory for the company, as far as the or- igival demands of the men are con- cerned.

London, Nov. 30.—The 'Duke of Devonshire presided and was the prin- cipal speaker at a great demonstra- tion in Queen's Hall here tonight, under the auspices of the Free Food League. It was the Duke's first pub- lic speech ssinee his resignation as Lord President of the Council, and the first really important meeting of the Free Fooders as an offset to the active propaganda of the Tariff Re- form League.

Carey, Vibe Said Ile Killed Glory VirhaleJ, at Toronto »au. Toronto report : " That Rag- land, under arrest in `Manchester, Rag- land, rwho says he murdered Glory 'Whalen at Coliingwood, knew noth- ing of the crime beyond what he read !.n the newspapers." Tine was the declaration of in young man at police headquarters .yesterday. The young man had just returned from Eng- land, and by his knowledge of at the cireumstaneee connected witl<t the arrest in England impressed the police with the truth of his story. Ft's story is this : The man ander arrest in England is William Carey„ aged 10, of 7 Claremont street„ Tett- ronto, who went to Lite old counter w.th cattie about two months ago. After the boat. was unloaded Carey sublet' the advocates of the scheme, Was arrested iib Manchester for an which emanated from the brain of a single eminent etatesman, would l.ko better than a general election, which would turn on this question alone. Tne Duke said the meeting was' one of Ux,iuii sts desiring to urge 013 tee Government the danger of teeing a certain course, and the ex- pediency of .resisting a. certain courscx. It seas not the p:elicy of the Union- ist Government which was before the country. Tee public 1 ked a clear issue, and such an issue had been placed before tl:cm by Mr. Chamber- lain, wire left the Government in order that he might be free. Cheers and hisses followed this mention of Mr. Chamberlain. , s t t'roposed etrtariatory Powers. Vie Duke urged that the policy of the Government must be more clear- ly defined. At present it was indef- inite. Ile had tendered his resig- nation because he could not, as the representative of the Government in the Il'ouse of Lords, express un- qualified confidence in the policy of the Cabinet, concerning which he had grave misgivings and insuffi- cient knowledge. Had he been nra- sured that a moderate use of the proposed• power of retaliation would bo made by the Premier he might 1be a member of the Govern - staid went. With certain limitations much might be said of the policy of retaliation, but 1•t would only make matters worse if, in addition to the ex!sting hostile tariffs against themselves, they built up walls which would prohibit and restrict the importation of goods which for their own advantage they took from other nation's. No Taxation of Food. The Duke evaid he was opposed to the taxation of food because ho thought that such taxation was the keynote o t the entire policy to which he tools exception. abound the price of food be raised some compensation must be given to the workingman. Ile recognized the great services of Joseph. Chamberlain. Ile was pre- pared to prove that Mr. Chatmber- lai.n's Glasgow budget would entail a tremendous loss to the consumer, while the workingman's expenses would be increased ten per cent. lie believed that no greater fa.liacy has over been pr o.lueed than that the prohibition or restriction of imports from abroad .w,ould increase the pro- fttab:e employment of capital and labor at home. The country was proeperi.n,g everywhere, yet Mr. 01lamberlai.n assorted that only strignation existed. Alluding to Ma. Chamberlain's ch.argo that he (the Duke of Devon - alai) W414 "a drag en the wheels of progress," the speaker said he was content to act as a c'ra'g on the crc.gine which sv1119 running clown grade against all signals.

One of the dealers is at present in Canada ttegatiating gar the snipmerit of poultry. Mr. Bare, chief of the Domihalsn poultry el1vioion, stated that pre- sent prices should offer eubstasitial inducements to Canadian exporting fleas to .ship poultry to Great Jiri- tatrr.
