STRIKE. IN Loss by Strike Nearly a Million Dur- ing the Neven Days in Which the Trouble Has Heen in Progress. Montreal, July 27.-Teddy Roosevelt as the final and supreme arbiter of the Grand Trunk strike is the latest phase of the situation. The original idea of appealinlz to the ex-prosident of the United States, awd of allowing him to give the fival word by which - each side must abide, comes from the tewn of Orillia, in the form of a telegram to James Murdock. The vice-president of the Brotherhood of Railway Train. men does not know exactly how to re- ply to this proposal, and is thinking up sn adequate answer. The telegram from the Orillia board of wade was ax follows : "Referring to your teliaram of the 20at, wo would respuctiully subniit that ii is not reasonable to claim the right to name both arbitrators, espe | cially when both ire men entizely\ un i known in this country, and aliose | award would therelore carey no per | sonal weight with the Canadian pub | lic: HM you desire an outsider we wonld suggest Theodore Roosevelt, who would commiond general confidence, lone being allowed admittance but tra eéive in strike pay about $40,000. This comes partly out of their own pocket, as ii cones irom a fund which they have helped to build up, but the bur- den is also shared by all the menibers of the different unions, the great ma- jority of whom are still at their work. Vor these payments a fund of two million dollars is said to be on hand. 'That simply represents the savings of the men in their corporate capacity and when a man has to live on his savings, his evpenditure must be coupt- ed more. or less as a loss. Attacked Train Crew. Bridgeburg, -Ont., July 27. The first] disturbance on the Grand Trusk in this section, since the strike started, occurred just west of Niagara June tion, last might, when a freight train from the west stopped before pulling into the yards. The train crew was attacked by a crowd of men and was roughly handled, ane of the crew hav- ing his head badly cut. Ne arrests have been made as yel.

All gates and other strategic points about the yards are being guarded, no : her. mises, tenis vellers and employees. s-- In Normal State. Montreal, July 26.--The Grand Truk "We would again urge arbitration as the first method of settlement. The | strike ig causing inealeulwle injury to | innocent parties in towns dependent | onthe G.T.R, like Oriliin." During the seven days in which the strike has been in operation the Joss to enrnings to the Grand Trunk rail- way has been between $600,000 and $800,000. One authority figures the daily loss in gross earnings at $117, 000. Multiply that by seven to make; the week, and the total will come to a few odd thousands over ¥300,000. This figure, however, allows nothing for the reduction in the cost of operation, due to the suspension of the freight -traflie, and the fact that a part, ut least, of the business now held over will be carried 'later and will show in later earnings. The average daily gross es the are botwesn $190 rings of [ re cent, the. making erage gross earnings from freight between $135,000 and $140,000. The aWerage cost of opera- tion on the Grand Trunk railway is thirty-six per copt,, making the pro- tion of this cost for freight traflic, jn round nambers, $50,000. That would make the net earnings for freight per day; or the net loss dur- ing the suspension of freight traffic per day, about ),000. That would make the loss for the week about $630,000, This figure, however, is rather eon- servative. It allows nothing for the decrease in passenger earnings, which has been material. It allows nothing for the expénse the company has been put to to engage special constables and other expenses incidental to the wirike. "- The loss to the then in wages is es timated at between $300,000 nud $100, 000 for a month. The conductors un- der the old schedule got an average of $125 a month; the. brakemen, $57; vardmen, $15; and -baggagemen, $75, Placing the number wen out on strike at 4,325, and dividing them up into their reipective classes, the total wages for week comes to ahout $82,- 000.

The Doctor Read the Newspapers, But DM Not Let the Woman Know What Was? Going on--Changes * Proposed in the Law Regarding Copyright, London, July 27.~It was hoped that a Mareonigrom might have been re- ceived, last might, from either the steamship Montrose or the Laurentic, through the aid of other steamers, but no message has reached London, "and the details of the chase, for Dr. Crip pen, consequently, still remains a sec- ret of the broad-Atlantic. The various accounts published in London and Paris, purporting to give a story of the arrest of Ir. Urippen aboard the Montrose, are discredited by Scotland Yard. The idea that Crippen Kept Miss Leneve in ignorance of the fact that he was suspected of the murder and led her to believe that the neces sity for flight was due to the issue of a warrant for his arrest on the charge of bigamously marrying her, seems to some color by reports from Rrussels which state that the doctor read the newspapers there eagerly, but wever gave them to his companion. receive A Bill Introduced.

It will hit English and Gernmn shipowners hard, 'because the English ands Germans have most of the coastwise traffic. Japan is making a serious attempt to- develop' its mercantile marine at the expense of its rivals, several of whom have now under consideration a scheme for combining their interests on the Pacific. In the matter, too, of shipbuilding the new Japanese tariff is designed with a view of fostering the national industry, as on vessels pur- abroad = the duties have been The impost falls heavily on second- hand foreign vessels of The type that in the past has been most generally hought for the increase of Japan's merchant navy. This policy will add to the expense of running Japanese ships, but to some extent this will be offset by the grant of liberal subsidies.
