The Struggle Lasted for Thirteen Days , and Must Have
Cost Both Sides a Lot of Money.
Mayor Harrison Says it Was One of the Mildest Strikes
They Ever Had in the City of Chicago.
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. R. Bliss, counsel for the
police throughout. 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.
When the ;strike leaders and the
company, and thle executive board Chicago City ,Street Railway Com-
of the local union of the strikers, pany officials agreed on terms of a
settlement .of the ca.rmen's strike, in-
terest today centred on the rati-
fication meeting of the men.
President Matron, •of the Amain
ganiatod Association of .'^Street Rail-
way ernpoyees, said, "I think the
men will be back at work by noon,
and will eat their Thanksgiving tur-
key with ee,nzeiences clear and sat-
1-sficti with the good fight they have
made since the walk -out thirteen
clays ago." 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. ' The agreement reached
will be ratified at a meeting of the
men this morning, and it is ex-
pected thiat traffic on all lines of
the company will be resumed to-
day.

London, Nov. 30.—The 'Duke of

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. T.re 1ra11 was packed,
and the prominent personages were
given a tremendous reception. The
Duke of Devonshire was given a great
welcome. He said in part : 'There

TOLD A FAKE STORY.
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

sire to purchase Canadian poultge.
One of the dealers is at present in
Canada ttegatiating gar the snipmerit

Mr. Bare, chief of the Domihalsn

at 10c (per pound.
The fatted 'chickens sold to the
