FOREIGN STOCK 3IAR.KET3 SHOW SMALL. IMPROVEMENT American Securities Attract Considerable Attention, but There Ia little Trading'. LONDON. April 20. The barometer of the Stock Exchange fluctuated throughout the past week In response to every fresh rumor of peace negotiations, but ao-tual business was comparatively limited.

The most optimistic of the operators during the first part of the week proved also to be the most timorous. The whole list fell perceptibly upon Balfour's announcement that a definite settlement in Soutia Africa had been proposed in order to allow the Boer delegates time to interview the commandoes. American securities attracted considerable attention during the week. There was not much trading, however, and this wa partly owing to the fear of a corner in Louisville and Nashville. BERLIN, April 20 The most active security on the Boerse during the past wee was Canadian Pacific, whi-n developed an extraordinary movement and was bought heavily on London and New York account.

The protraction of the peace negotiations in South Africa has disappointed the Boerse -and is caung reserve in speculation.

A post on the outskirts of Newchwang, garrisoned by forty Russians, has been attacked by bandits. One Russian officer and four privates were killed. company, but when the Mayor demanded a conference he said his powers to act were limited and that he could not attend any conference with the Mayor in the absence of President Holland. The latter pleaded illness as an excuse for declining to confer with the Mayor last Tha peculiarity of the situation puzsled the Mayor, but it has not discouraged him. Another attempt to secure a conference will be made to-day, A protracted strike will cause no end of trouble to the working-men of San Francisco who work down town and who live in the outskirts.

Many of the employes of the Union Iron Works and sugar refinery in the Potrero live at North Beach, whlf thousands of clerks in down town establishments reside near the park. During the continuance of the strike these peopla will be compelled to walk to their places of employment, in the absere of conveyances, and return to their homes by tha same means. Many of these are insisting that the strikers, having demonstrated their strength, owe it to the public to resume operations and secure the concessions they demand while at work. It 1 maintained that the company which enters upon possession of its system May 1 would be willing, in the light of yesterday's developments, to meet the men half way in the interests of peace and harmony. The only street car line in operation yesterday was the California, with it3 connections, which include the Union-street.

Hyde and Jones streets. Tho employes on these lines have no grievances and they are In no way connected with th strike. Business on these lines was unusually heavy last night, and the prospects for its continuance during tha remainder of the strike are excellent. JOH2T J. TTJXTON CO.

When the Mission street carmen arrived at the Turk-street Temple, which has been selected as the headquarters of the strikers, a scene of the wildest enthusiasm prevailed. The Temple was already filled with the conductors, motormen and grip-men, who made the hail ring again and again with their cheers for the men from the Mission. The cheers were repeated when the employes from the Castro and Oeary street lines marched into the hall bodies. During the entire day there was a meeting in progress at the Temple. The carmen were addressed by representatives of the Labor Council, and plans were arranged for carrying on the fight.

It was stated before the contest was inaugurated that not more than one-third of the railway employes were members of the union, but yesterday hundreds of the men went to the Temple and signed the rOll. Half a score of secretaries were kept busy during the entire day taking down the names of new members, and before night the Street Railway Union had become one of the strongest labor organizations in the city. i- MEN TOLD TO KEEP PEACE. The men were instructed over and over again to maintain the peace and not to attack the property of the railway companies, and especially not to molest the cars employed in the United States mail service. A peaceful policy was recommended by Secretary Ed Rosenberg of the Labor Council, and Mayor Schmitz sent his secretary with a.

message to the men -advising them not to commit any unlawful act and not to become intoxicated auring their enforced idleness. becretary Ed Rosenberg in addressing the union practically promised the strikers the support of the Labor Council cIa1Iyi otherwise in carrying on In ni.Hlsai(i the matter would in as foUows'- C0HnclL 6Poke in Prt the Labor Council' did! mln ldfr hls the Proper time for the com- twent uf a 8treet cap strike.

It depends upon yourselves whether or not the labor unions of thU city will sustain you.

The street car men cannot retreat. If 'you attempt to go back after having -left your cars standing- In the streets, you will be discharged by the company within the next six months. We of the Labor Council tried to organize the railway employes about a year ago, but faiied.

At that time I perceived that air.ong the. eldest men in the service, there existed a deep the companies, lou are-; strike, because-your -'-fa -deplvi injoted. 'You have the sympathy or the "public'. and you should strive to maintain "that syrhfmthy. by- conducting yourselves in a gentlemanly manner.

If a few cars are operated by non-union men-you should not mind that. You should remember that It requires .1500 men to ruir the street railway cars of this city. WILL LET MAIL CARS Harry A. Knox of the Sutro line announced that the secretary of the United States Mail Service desired to extend his thanks to the union for the manner in which the mail cars had been permitted to run. The announcement was greeted withveheers: Knox, folio-wed this, communication with advice to the men not to hinder the mall service in any manner.

He also informed the men that they were at liberty to work on the regular mail cars at any time, but that the conductors on such cars must not collect fares. The union was Informed by one of the strikers that the railway companies were transforming the ordinary passenger cars into mail cars by merely placing signs bearing the words States Mail Car" on the front and fear of the cars. The men were-warned taat they must not accept positions on any cars of this description, except the Castro street line, which has no regular mail cars. The entire San Mateo line is tied up and not even the funeral cars are allowed to run. An appeal was made yesterday morning to President Cornelius to allow these cars to be operated.

He announced to the meeting yesterday afternoon that he considered -it safer not to grant the permission, as funreal cars are not an Indispensable PICKETS ARE APPOINTED. The members of the union are not satisfied with having called from work the employes of the streetcar companies, but at the meeting yesterday the men were instructed to watch the different car houses and endeavor to persuade outsiders not to operate the cars. In doing this peaceful means only are to be employed. The principal portion of the street-car employes that remained with the companies and refused -to strike are bonus men, who. by reason of the length of time spent in the service are entitled to a higher salary.

For every five years that a conductor, gripman or motorman works for the company he receives one cent extraper hour. Men receiving this addition to their pay are called bonus men. and are distinguishable from the employes whose term of service has not been so long by a stripe sewed on the sleeves of their coats near the cuffs. Each stripe denotes five years of work on the street cars. While a considerable portion of the bonus men have quit, still a number, and especially the men with four stripes, have been reluctant about surrendering the positions which they have held through so many years, particularly as to go on strike is to jeopardize their bonuses.

It is among these men that the strikers were instructed at yesterday's meeting to use their persuasion. Harry A. Knox told the strikers that he had received a message from Mayor Schmitz to the effect that an application had been made to him by the railroad officials for policemen to guard the cars, and that he had refused. This message was received with prolonged applause. Knox exhorted the men to abstain from committing the least violence and restrain others from doing so.

T. E. Zant, a representative of the Labor Council, advised the car men how to carry on the strike and encouraged them to have faith in one another. He. suoke of the qualifications necessary for an efficient railway employe, and declared that they were men upon whom a sreat responsibility was continually placed.

He declared that the conditions were favorable for the winning of the strike and that public sympathy is entirely with the men. Speeches of encouragement were also delivered by William Costely and Delegates Willey and Marks of the Labor Council. CARMENGQ IN CROWDS TO THE TEMPLE The entire day force of street car employes reported as usual yesterday- morning at the different car barns and abot three-fourths of the number had no desire to strike and were ready to go to work. The delegates of the Street Ball-way Employes' Union, whose members inaugurated the strike on Saturday night, were on hand to persuade them not to work. Their arguments must have.

been very conclusive, as one hour after the time the men usually commenced, their daily runs they were all headed for Turk-street Temple to enroll themselves as members of the union. The decision on the part of the day forces to strike was communicated almost Instantaneously to the car houses in all parts of the city. The men on the Sutro line were probably the first to join the ranks of the strikers. There were forty conductors and motormen employed on the road that carries passengers to the park and cliff, and every one of them quit. There were no cars running to the park' and Cliff House yesterday.

The men from the Sutro line had scarcely finished signing their names to the union's membership role 200 of the employes from the Mission lines, dressed In their uniforms, marched into the hall. There are more than 300 men employed on the Mission lines, and while all of them did not join the union yesterday, It ia claimed that none of them could ASHINGTON, April 20.

I beseech you also, one and all, to refrain from the use of any intoxicating liquor whatsoever during the existence of present conditions. It may not be necessary to suggest it. and I don't wish to interfere with any man's personal liberties, but in times cf leisure, enforced or voluntary, indulgence in strong drink Is frequently the greatest cause of ensuing trouble, and often leads to failure. Very sincerely jours.

E. E. tSCHMITZ. Chief of Police Wlttman held a long conference with the Mayor, during which the attitude of the police in the controversy was discussed. Wlttman reported that President Holland of the United Railways Company had requested him to place four policemen on each car sent out by the company.

with non-union crews. Wittman declined to entertain the proposition until after he had consulted with the Mayor. The Mayor indorsed the action of Wlttman, and informed him that the railway company could not count upon the aid of the police at a time when there was no necessity for? such Intervention. He did not believe the police would be needed in any event, as all made to hlni during, the day were to the effect that the strike was being conducted in a most orderly manner and without any show of violence on the part of the strikers. If the company could find men to take out the cars they would not be interfered with en route.

When Wlttman left the Mayor's office he carried with, him the following letter of Instructions as his authority for refusing to accede to the demands of the railway people: SAN FRANCISCO. April 20. 1902. George W. Wlttman, Chief of Police Sir: Should occasion arise assign every necessary and available policeman for the protection of all property involved in the strike and for the maintenance of the peace at all hazards.

It is not the city's province, however, to detail her peace officers for special service tn move cars. My investigation of the situation this afternoon discloses absolutely peaceful conditions and very manly and peaceable sentiments among the striking street-car employes. Should troubfe occur at any point from outside Intervention it should be suppressed at once. Under no circumstances will violence be allowed anywhere. Yours trulv.

They learned that the entire system was tied up tightly and that the prospects of a settlement with the strikers on any other basis than the granting of their demands were meager. The situation was one which prompted the owners of all kinds of vehicles to transform them ipto public conveyances, and until the settlement of the strike these vehicles will be in active The -strikers held a very enthusiastic meeting at the Turk-street Temple yesterday afternoon, 'and several hundred were added to the union membership.

MAYOR SCHMITZ ACTS. Mayor Schmitz' has taken steps to bring about a conference between the strikers and employers with a view toward effecting a settlement of the strike. Early in the proceedings the Mayor made the discovery that there was not apparently any one to speak authoritatively for the United Railroads of San FranclscoN Attorney General Tlrey L. Ford, who Is the legal adviser of the corporation, was said to have a power of attorney to act for the WI Orders for a General Inquiry on the Island Reach Manila MANILA, April 20.

The United Statts army transport Buford left here to-day lor San Francisco, after having been detained in Quarantine fcr five days. Genera! Jacob H. Smith, who was in command of the American forces in Samar at the time 'Major Waller is said to have executed natives of that island without trial, was to have gone home on the Buford, but has disembarked here. Orders have been received here from Washington to hold a court of inquiry into the general conduct of affairs in Samar. General Smith claims that, to the best of his belief, the officers and men of hi command in bad to face insurmountable difficulties; that the hardships they encountered v.ere almost unbearable, and that the treachery of the natives of the island is uneqvaled in the history of warfare.

He says that the American soldiers acted, in the circumstances, with the greatest forbearance shown in the v. ar in the Philippines. Ctmpiiigrning in fcamar was not a pleasure trip, but a stern reality, said General iircith. He expressed doubt if the troops of any nation in the world would or could htve acted in Samar as well as did the Americans. Surrenders to the American authorities of small parties of insurgents are reported daily, and these have increased since the recent surrender of the mniTpenl Jenersl Malavar.

General Ruflno. with twenty-six officers and 375 soldiers, has surrendered to the native constabulary in the province of Misamis, in Mindanao, where the constabulary are co-operating with the military. General Chaffee forwarded to General F. Franklin Bell the congratulations sent the latter by President P.oosevelt upon the recent campaign in Laguna and Batangas provinces conducted by General Bell. General Chaffee forwarded the President's communication through General Lloyd Wheaton, and in an accompanying letter he expresses his great pleasure at the receipt by General Bell of the Presi-cUnt's congratulations.

"No American ire ops." says General Chaffee, "have ever before boon charged with a task more difficult of accomplishment. With an exception in the matter of Terrain, oniv our comrades in the island of Samar "have campaigned vmder such difficulties. vrioue has been th? situation in Bantan-pat- and Laguna." continues General Chaffee in his letter, "that or.iv a person thoroughly familiar with it by actual con-tcrt can appreciate the conditions which have been met and overcome, or fairly dc-tcimine hp.t were the best methods to accomplish the objects, namely, the recognition of the sovereignty of the United States and the establishment of peace and orVr in the disturbed sections."

Of the eighty men who held positions on the Castro line seventy-six -reported at headquarters and were initiated into the union.

Just after th Castro men entered the Temnle a report was received to the-' effect that the Geary-street men were hesitating about casting their lot with the strikers. Chairman Henry John-sen called for volunteers from the McAllister-street carmen to go to the Geary-street to persuade the men to help out on the strike, but before the volunteers had left the hall the Geary-etreet men in full strength marched into the headquarters. They were received with loud cheers. The men from none of the other lines came in a body. 'but individual employes straggled into the headquarters until the hait was crowded to the doors.

The enrolling of the men kept six secretaries busy all day, and last night it was announced that 2500 men had joined the striking organization, whereas on the nrtvihus' night, when the strike was commenced, there were but COO members. METROPOLITAN HALL SCENE OF MASS-MEETING A mass-meeting of the striking street car employes and their friends was held last evening at Metropolitan Temple, when a report on the strike situation was made by R. Cornelius, the president of the carmen's union, and speeches were the gathering. President Cornelius was greeted with warmth and announced that the strike" situation was weft in hand and that there was every prospect of winning the dispute with their employers. Cornelius stated that though the strike had started with but few men in the ranks of the union, a complete tie-up of the car lines had been effected within one day, and that nearly all the conductors, motormen and gripmen had joined the union.

G. B. Benham made a speech denouncing the actions of General Manager Vining of the United Railroads of San Fran-isco, and predicted that the fiht would result in a victory for the employes. Walter Thomas Miils delivered an address that consisted mainly of the propaganda of the Socialist party, with which the speaker is, affiliated. Michael Casey of the Board of Public Works announced that Mayor Schmitz would stand by the striking employes and be true to the labor organizations that had made his election possible.

Casey urged the strikers to refrain from any demonstrations of violence, and assured them that they had the sympathy of every labor organization in San Francisco and the entire country. Considerable enthusiasm prevailed during the entire meeting, and at its close, when the strikers were urged to bo this morning at the posts assigned them by their executive committee and to be vigilant in inducing men from taking the positions vacated. MAYOR REFUSES TO PUT POLICE ON STREETCARS U- Mayor Schmita was a very busy man yesterday. He arrived in this city from Sacramento at 9 o'clock, and although ho had had little sleep during the. night he began an immediate consideration of the strike and the best methods to be adopted to secure an early settlement of the The Mayor notified Chief of Police Witt-man that he would be in his office at the City Hall at 2 o'clock, and from that time until midnight his time was taken up with interviews relative to the strike.

Among the first callers were several members of the executive committee of Division No. 205, Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America, headed by Richard Cornelius, president of the local branch. Harry Knox and others. Cornelius addressed the Mayor, and said the strikers were orderly and that they desired to have the Mayor address them at their meeting in the Turk-street Temple. The Mavor replied that it was his purpose to remain perfectly neutral in the matter in order that no question could be raised in the event his services as mediator between the railway company and the strikers were requested.

He assured the members of the. committee that hla sympathies were with the street car employes and that he would do all in his power to aid them in their struggle for better wages and the recognition of their right to organize. Cornelius stated that the entire Market-street system was tied up, and that it would be Impossible for the railway teo-ple to move a wheel without the aid of they employes. The men were resolved to hold out to 'the last. They were merely asking for their rights as wage-earners and free men, and they proposed to battle for those rights, in the belief that they had the sympathy of the public in their fight.
