Chicago, May 25.—Final rejection of the teamsters' demands was officially announced by the employers, who demand unconditional surrender. Neither side in the strike made a direct step toward peace, and each was apparently waiting for the other to move.

It was said that "a prominent business man" was making efforts to induce the managers of the express companies to make terms satisfactory to the striking drivers and that he had promised them "good news."

Some few lumber yards are still in operation, but their business is small. A number of planing mills and sash and door factories were compelled to shorten operations and by Friday at least will be compelled to close entirely if the supply of lumber is not largely increased. The lumber yards made little effort to transact business and were waiting for drivers to be sent them by the Employers' Teaming company. A number of these, It is expected, will be at work today, and business will be resumed in a small degree at least. Named for "At present the tariff against the Philippines Is 75 per ceut of the present Dingley rates, and under this practically no imports reach the United States from the Philippine Islands. We shall hold the Philippines certainly for a generation, probably for several generations, in our efforts to lead the people on to education and prosperity and a knowledge of self government, and during that time we must take those islands to our bosom, so to speak, and give them the advantages of a member of our family. This benefit cau never exist as long as we maintain a high tariff wall between us and the islands. Train at Vnlontown, Pa., London, May 25— It Is reported here Treasurer anil Injured so Badly that a great battle has been fought between the Russian and Japanese fleets, Since. Harrisburg, May 25.—William H. Berry, the reform mayor of Chester, was nominated for state treasurer and John 15. Head, of .Oreensburg, for judge of the Superior court by the Democratic state convention, on a platform confined to state issues, with particular reference to existing political conditions in Philadelphia, growing out of the gas lease agitation; That he Died, mill that the Russians were victorious, John Kego, a foreigner about 20 years of age, who was arrested some days ago while trying to break into Garrison's store, on North Main street, made his escape from the city- jail yesterday afternoon between 1 and 5 o'clock, and since that time all efforts of the police to locate him have been fruitless. Just how Kego's escape was effected is not known positively, but it seems probable that he had some indirect "outside assistance. He succeeded in getting out of his cell with the aid of a strip of iron, made from a wagon tire, with which he forced the lock. How he succeeded in getting out through the second door has not yet been explained. Kego had. been in jail for the past week on the charge of attempted burglary. Yesterday, at noon, OtHccr Connell, who is on day duty this week, took a lunch to him and stayed in front of the cell a few minutes asking him questions. Kego. said he lived in Wilkesbarre, but would say nothing else. Officer Connell then made an inspection of the cell lock, which he found to be all right, and before he left the building he locked the door leading to the front door from the furnace and tramp room, which is connected with the cell corridor. Officer Connell's next visit to the cell room was at D o'clock, when he brought down the prisoner's supper to him. As he unlocked the door just mentioned Chief Loftus came down stairs from his office, Intending to Question the prisoner. Mr. Connell walked up to the Cell, which seemed to be still locked, and looked in for the prisoner. All that could be seen was the empty cell. The officer then tried the lock and found that it had been forced and had then been replaced to give it the uppearance of being locked. A search was made of the room next to the corridor, but Kego wus not to be Uniontown, Pa., Muy 25.—President mayor until after the meeting: cils on June 1, when tbe "jr is to be pushed through over the n. .yor's veto, they will have taken a long step toward gaining their ends.

Whelan of Baltimore and Frank II. Piatt of New York, called on the president to suggest to him that the remains of John Paul Jones be deposited in the crypt at the Annapolis Naval academy on Oct. 19, known throughout Maryland as "Peggy Stewart day." The president informed the delegation that no definite decision yet had been reached in the matter. Formosa Scene of lighting Mr. Perry was nominated by acclamation, following a sharp contest over the selection of the nominee for judge although it was conceded from the start that Mr. Head would be nominated. Mr. Head led all his competitors on the first ballot and before the result the second ballot could be announced a motion that his nomination be made unanimous was adopted. In all the reports the waters in the neighborhood of Formosa are mentioned as the scene of the fighting, either iu the Baschi channel directly south of the Island, or In the Pacliic to the east of Formosa. That the Russian fleet was ill the neighborhood of Formosa or the islands to the south on Sunday or Monday Is now generally believed, as the reports made by vessels which sighted the warships cannot be doubted. St. Petersburg also lias received the report of a naval battle. which adds strength to the rumors afloat here. United States as Receiver. One cnuse for the lack of energy on to part of the employers in the lum TOr yards was that the city was not able to afford the drivers police protection. Mayor Dunne provided against this contingency by issuing a call for a thousand extra policemen, who will be sworn in as rapidly as applications are filed by suitable men. This will be the second thousand of extra policemen sworn In since the beginning of the strike. Sheriff Barrett swore in several hundred deputies, the largest number at any one time since the strike began."Nearly at our doors in the Caribbean sea Is oue government, weakened by revolution and insurrection, tottering to fall.

Berks county started the stampede for Mr. Head on the second ballot by breaking away from Dewalt and voting for the Oreensburg candidate. Philadelphia then clinched his nomination by dropping Ward and easting its 50 votes for Head. Delaware switched from Dickinson to Head and while several ,delega?. s were on their feet demanding recognition for the purpose of changing their votes, the motion to make the nomination unanimous was sprung and carried. The next move was taken by the opposition in the appenrame before Judge Robert Ualston In the common pleas court of attorneys for Messrs.

National Committeeman Ciuffey, who was in absolute control of the convention, was present In the convention hull only a short time. So sure was Mr. Head of his nomination that he remained away from Harrlsbui'K during the convention.

Boston, Mny 25.—Thomas Fitzgerald of Fall River, who was serving a life sentence in the state prison at Charlestown for the murder of his wife, has been pardoned by the executive council and with the consent of Governor William L. Douglas. Fitzgerald was sentenced in 1877. A dispatch from Manila received tills morning says that a fleet of over 50 warships was sighted to the eastward of the Batan islands on May 20, The vessels are supposed to have been Russians as it is known that Admiral Togo has not that large a fleet at his command. The vessels were heading toward the northeast out into the open Pacific ocean. To get to It it would have been necessary for the vessels to pass through Balingtang channel or one of the southern channels between islands of the Philippine group. Discussing the revenue deficit, Mr. Taft said, "There remain two alternatives. either to impose additional internal taxes or to readjust and revise the tariff." He is virtually assured of election, because no elector can vote for more than three candidates, when four are to be elected, as is the case this year. He was born and raised at Latrobe and has been a member of the bar since 1880. Mr. .Berry is a wealthy manufacturer and was elected mayor of Chester on the reform ticket last February. Served With Injunction Papers. The mayor and his two directors were informed of the action of the court withlu a few minutes after the injunction was granted, and they were net surprised when the papers were served on them. The mayor and Mr. Potter readily accepted service, but Mr. Acker at first refused to recognize the papers. He remained at the desk vacated by Mr. Costello and refused to leave the office. The ousted director left the office to begin proceedings to have him obey the court order, but when he returned he found that Mr. Acker had left the office. Mr. Costello thereupon took possession. Albany, X. Y., May 25.—Governor Higgins, through his secretary, last night received a petition asking for the removal of Frederick 1). Kilburn, state superintendent of hanks, drawn by Clarence J. Shearn for George von Utass.v, a depositor in the Merchants' Trust company. Mr. Kilburn's removal from office Is demanded on the ground that he has been negligent in the performance of his duties in that he has known for a year that the Merchants' Trust company was insolvent and that he made no report of this condition of affairs to the attorney general, as lie is required to do by law. Kilburn's Removal Asked. Enjoined Prom Boycotting. San Francisco, May 25.—Judge Morrow of the United States circuit court granted a restraining order against the California Federation of Labor and the local labor unions from boycotting a firm of hat manufacturers of Danbury, The manner in which the prisoner forced the lock was evident, but his method of getting beyond the locked door is not known. In some manner or other, while in his cell, he had secured the piece of iron used to break the lock. This iron was used for the furnace and was always In the room next to the cell corridor. Kego put the Iron through the bars, against the lock, and then pressed from the inside. In time the lock gave way and then it was a simple matter to throw the door open. There are marks on the Iron bars to show that this method was used. The police think that Avhen he got out of his cell Kego went into the tramps' room and sat down on a bench near the door. Some members of the street force have keys to this door, and it is likely that when one of them opened it to secure or put away some tools, the prisoner walked out unhindered and slipped into the alley nearby. found That the Russians are already in the Pacific is regarded as certain, and on this fact the experts largely base their opinion that a battle has been fought. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The sheriff wishes to assure the public that If it becomes a question of law and order or mob rule the former must and shall be preserved.

He broke the lock in the same manner that he did yesterday, using on the first occasion a large stove raker. Officer Price went into the room leading to the cells shortly after he went on duty and on glancing into the corridor he found that the cell, in which Kego had been placed, was open. He made a hurried search of the room and found the prisoner crouched behind the furnace. He was placed in the cell and a new lock placed on the door. The Open Boor Togo had only two courses open to him, after the Russians reached the Pacific. One was to offer battle in the effort to completely dispose of the fleet, or injure it so that it would be harmless. The other was to allow Rojestvensky to proceed unchallenged to Petropavlosk.

Chicago, May 25.—Final rejection of the teamsters' demands was officially announced by the employers, who demand unconditional surrender. Neither side in the strike made a direct step toward peace, and each was apparently waiting for the other to move. The employers sent their goods all over the city under police protection without encountering violence. How Is Your Ijawn Mower? Exploit for Kale. If it needs grinding, have mo put an edge on it.

It was said that "a prominent business man" was making efforts to induce the managers of the express companies to make terms satisfactory to the striking drivers and that he had promised them "good news."

Some few lumber yards are still in operation, but their business is small. A number of planing mills and sash and door factories were compelled to shorten operations and by Friday at least will be compelled to close entirely if the supply of lumber is not largely increased. The lumber yards made little effort to transact business and were waiting for drivers to be sent them by the Employers' Teaming company. A number of these, It is expected, will be at work today, and business will be resumed in a small degree at least. Named for "At present the tariff against the Philippines Is 75 per ceut of the present Dingley rates, and under this practically no imports reach the United States from the Philippine Islands. We shall hold the Philippines certainly for a generation, probably for several generations, in our efforts to lead the people on to education and prosperity and a knowledge of self government, and during that time we must take those islands to our bosom, so to speak, and give them the advantages of a member of our family. This benefit cau never exist as long as we maintain a high tariff wall between us and the islands. Train at Vnlontown, Pa., London, May 25— It Is reported here Treasurer anil Injured so Badly that a great battle has been fought between the Russian and Japanese fleets, Since. Harrisburg, May 25.—William H. Berry, the reform mayor of Chester, was nominated for state treasurer and John 15. Head, of .Oreensburg, for judge of the Superior court by the Democratic state convention, on a platform confined to state issues, with particular reference to existing political conditions in Philadelphia, growing out of the gas lease agitation; That he Died, mill that the Russians were victorious, John Kego, a foreigner about 20 years of age, who was arrested some days ago while trying to break into Garrison's store, on North Main street, made his escape from the city- jail yesterday afternoon between 1 and 5 o'clock, and since that time all efforts of the police to locate him have been fruitless. Just how Kego's escape was effected is not known positively, but it seems probable that he had some indirect "outside assistance. He succeeded in getting out of his cell with the aid of a strip of iron, made from a wagon tire, with which he forced the lock. How he succeeded in getting out through the second door has not yet been explained. Kego had. been in jail for the past week on the charge of attempted burglary. Yesterday, at noon, OtHccr Connell, who is on day duty this week, took a lunch to him and stayed in front of the cell a few minutes asking him questions. Kego. said he lived in Wilkesbarre, but would say nothing else. Officer Connell then made an inspection of the cell lock, which he found to be all right, and before he left the building he locked the door leading to the front door from the furnace and tramp room, which is connected with the cell corridor. Officer Connell's next visit to the cell room was at D o'clock, when he brought down the prisoner's supper to him. As he unlocked the door just mentioned Chief Loftus came down stairs from his office, Intending to Question the prisoner. Mr. Connell walked up to the Cell, which seemed to be still locked, and looked in for the prisoner. All that could be seen was the empty cell. The officer then tried the lock and found that it had been forced and had then been replaced to give it the uppearance of being locked. A search was made of the room next to the corridor, but Kego wus not to be Uniontown, Pa., Muy 25.—President mayor until after the meeting: cils on June 1, when tbe "jr is to be pushed through over the n. .yor's veto, they will have taken a long step toward gaining their ends.

Whelan of Baltimore and Frank II. Piatt of New York, called on the president to suggest to him that the remains of John Paul Jones be deposited in the crypt at the Annapolis Naval academy on Oct. 19, known throughout Maryland as "Peggy Stewart day." The president informed the delegation that no definite decision yet had been reached in the matter. Formosa Scene of lighting Mr. Perry was nominated by acclamation, following a sharp contest over the selection of the nominee for judge although it was conceded from the start that Mr. Head would be nominated. Mr. Head led all his competitors on the first ballot and before the result the second ballot could be announced a motion that his nomination be made unanimous was adopted. In all the reports the waters in the neighborhood of Formosa are mentioned as the scene of the fighting, either iu the Baschi channel directly south of the Island, or In the Pacliic to the east of Formosa. That the Russian fleet was ill the neighborhood of Formosa or the islands to the south on Sunday or Monday Is now generally believed, as the reports made by vessels which sighted the warships cannot be doubted. St. Petersburg also lias received the report of a naval battle. which adds strength to the rumors afloat here. United States as Receiver. One cnuse for the lack of energy on to part of the employers in the lum TOr yards was that the city was not able to afford the drivers police protection. Mayor Dunne provided against this contingency by issuing a call for a thousand extra policemen, who will be sworn in as rapidly as applications are filed by suitable men. This will be the second thousand of extra policemen sworn In since the beginning of the strike. Sheriff Barrett swore in several hundred deputies, the largest number at any one time since the strike began."Nearly at our doors in the Caribbean sea Is oue government, weakened by revolution and insurrection, tottering to fall.

Berks county started the stampede for Mr. Head on the second ballot by breaking away from Dewalt and voting for the Oreensburg candidate. Philadelphia then clinched his nomination by dropping Ward and easting its 50 votes for Head. Delaware switched from Dickinson to Head and while several ,delega?. s were on their feet demanding recognition for the purpose of changing their votes, the motion to make the nomination unanimous was sprung and carried. The next move was taken by the opposition in the appenrame before Judge Robert Ualston In the common pleas court of attorneys for Messrs.

National Committeeman Ciuffey, who was in absolute control of the convention, was present In the convention hull only a short time.

Douglas. Fitzgerald was sentenced in 1877. A dispatch from Manila received tills morning says that a fleet of over 50 warships was sighted to the eastward of the Batan islands on May 20, The vessels are supposed to have been Russians as it is known that Admiral Togo has not that large a fleet at his command. The vessels were heading toward the northeast out into the open Pacific ocean. To get to It it would have been necessary for the vessels to pass through Balingtang channel or one of the southern channels between islands of the Philippine group. Discussing the revenue deficit, Mr. Taft said, "There remain two alternatives. either to impose additional internal taxes or to readjust and revise the tariff." He is virtually assured of election, because no elector can vote for more than three candidates, when four are to be elected, as is the case this year. He was born and raised at Latrobe and has been a member of the bar since 1880. Mr. .Berry is a wealthy manufacturer and was elected mayor of Chester on the reform ticket last February. Served With Injunction Papers. The mayor and his two directors were informed of the action of the court withlu a few minutes after the injunction was granted, and they were net surprised when the papers were served on them. The mayor and Mr. Potter readily accepted service, but Mr. Acker at first refused to recognize the papers. He remained at the desk vacated by Mr. Costello and refused to leave the office. The ousted director left the office to begin proceedings to have him obey the court order, but when he returned he found that Mr. Acker had left the office. Mr. Costello thereupon took possession. Albany, X. Y., May 25.—Governor Higgins, through his secretary, last night received a petition asking for the removal of Frederick 1). Kilburn, state superintendent of hanks, drawn by Clarence J. Shearn for George von Utass.v, a depositor in the Merchants' Trust company. Mr. Kilburn's removal from office Is demanded on the ground that he has been negligent in the performance of his duties in that he has known for a year that the Merchants' Trust company was insolvent and that he made no report of this condition of affairs to the attorney general, as lie is required to do by law. Kilburn's Removal Asked. Enjoined Prom Boycotting. San Francisco, May 25.—Judge Morrow of the United States circuit court granted a restraining order against the California Federation of Labor and the local labor unions from boycotting a firm of hat manufacturers of Danbury, The manner in which the prisoner forced the lock was evident, but his method of getting beyond the locked door is not known. In some manner or other, while in his cell, he had secured the piece of iron used to break the lock. This iron was used for the furnace and was always In the room next to the cell corridor. Kego put the Iron through the bars, against the lock, and then pressed from the inside. In time the lock gave way and then it was a simple matter to throw the door open. There are marks on the Iron bars to show that this method was used. The police think that Avhen he got out of his cell Kego went into the tramps' room and sat down on a bench near the door. Some members of the street force have keys to this door, and it is likely that when one of them opened it to secure or put away some tools, the prisoner walked out unhindered and slipped into the alley nearby. found That the Russians are already in the Pacific is regarded as certain, and on this fact the experts largely base their opinion that a battle has been fought. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL The sheriff wishes to assure the public that If it becomes a question of law and order or mob rule the former must and shall be preserved.

He broke the lock in the same manner that he did yesterday, using on the first occasion a large stove raker. Officer Price went into the room leading to the cells shortly after he went on duty and on glancing into the corridor he found that the cell, in which Kego had been placed, was open. He made a hurried search of the room and found the prisoner crouched behind the furnace. He was placed in the cell and a new lock placed on the door. The Open Boor Togo had only two courses open to him, after the Russians reached the Pacific. One was to offer battle in the effort to completely dispose of the fleet, or injure it so that it would be harmless. The other was to allow Rojestvensky to proceed unchallenged to Petropavlosk.
