Conflicting Reports Regarding Settle- :
ment of Trouble. 1
Chicago, Ills., Nov. 24.?Conflicting
reports on the probability of immediate
peace in the street car strike came
from representatives of the Chicago
City Railway company, and the strik- 1
ing trainmen today.
It was learned definitely that the
railway eomnanv had offered to nrhl.
trate the contention which the company
considered remained the sole issue
between the present situation and 1
a settlement. This point, it was said,
fs the taking back of the melremployed
by the City Railway company, who
went out on sympathy. The company
asserted that these men violated
agreements, while the strikers assert
that the agreements were not properly
made.
Colonel E. R. Bliss, attcflney for !
the railway company, said today:
"Only one point now is left to be
adjusted. The company is willing
to arbitrate."
President Buckley, of the striking
division, said at the same hour:
"We are no nearer a settlement now
than we were last night'or yesterday.'
During the past twelve hours strike
sympathizers did more damage to the
o*?-lines than any previous time since j
the strike was begun. Wires were .
rat on many of the cross-town lines,
axra all manner of blockade was put
on the track. " \t.e street every

Another attempt was made today to

and the obstructions cleared away
earlier in the day were replaced by
the strikers in numerous instances.
PROVES A SUCCESS.
Open Air Treatment For Tuberculosis?Hospital
Established.
New York, Nov. 24.?The "open air"
treatment for tuberculosis started by
the health department of North Brother
island has been proved a success,
says physicians who have watched tho
experiments. A hospital for'the treatment
of tho disease was established on
the island and out of 127 patients who
entered tho institution six months ago
84 have been discharged as cured and
only 11 are under treatment. Eleven
have died. The mortality is placed
at 25 per cent, which Is a low average
when it Is considered that only the
worst cases have come to the island.
Pure air. sunshine, good food and absence
of worry have 4>een the principal
factors in attaining these results.
Turkeys and Geese Hang High.
New York, Nov. 24.?Turkeys will
be a luxury to most New York people
this year. The price is almost a record
breaker. Turkey9, geese and
ducks are selling at 30 cents a pound
in this city or 10 cents higher than
in 1901. Eggs also have risen as faf
as prices are concerned, being quoted
at 40 cents a dozen. Poultry raisers
to take advantage of the scarcity ol
turkeys are killing their chickens to
get the big prices.
Fight for Championship.
Chicago, Nov. 24.?A dispatch to the
Record-Herald frem San Frgnclsco
says: "Young Corbett and Eddie
Hanlon werd matched last night to
fight here Dec. 29. The men will meet
at 129 pounds for the featherweight
championship of the world, the battle
