Thirty-Five Hundred Men Are Affected
in Boston.
NO COMPLAINT AS TO PAY
The Striken Admit That Their Are
the llest Paid Street Knilway Era
ploye in the Country, But Insist
That Their Inion Shall be Itecog
nized, nud That They Shall Not be
Called Upon to Work -More Than
Ten Hours in Twelve.
Boston, Dec. 24. A strike of the em
ployes of the West Knd Street Hallway
company wuh Inaugurated at G.4". this
ItiorninK. All the drivers, motormen,
and conductors, to the number of 3..MH)
men, are uffected. The other employes
of the comiiauy are in full sympathy
with the strikers and may quit work at
any time that that occasion demands it.
The strike was only accomplished
through the men revolting ugaiust
their leaders' counsels.
The men have no complaint to make
on account of pay. They are ready to
admit that they are the liest paid
street railway employes In the country.
They insist that they shall not be
called to work more than ten hours
in twelve; that their union be recog
nized as representing them otllcially,
and that all dealings between the com
pany and men be made through the
union under an agreement.
CH HISTMAS SHOPPERS ANNOYED.
Not since the strike of the West Knd
Hallway employes in February, 1S87,
has the general public so fully realized
its dependence upon the street railway
lines for transportation between the
various districts of this city as today.
With the exception of the cars of t lie
Lynn und Huston Hallway, which use
the (lower and tracks of the West Knd
company from Chelsea. through
Charlesiown to Scollay Squure and the
curs of the Cnlted Staes mail service,
which have been running as usual,
there has practically been a complete
tie up of surface cars during the after
noon und evening. Coming Just at
Christmas, the strike has greatly In
convenienced thousands who wished to
visit the city stores to purchase their
gilts and all thoroughfares have been
crowded with pedestrluns, despite the
biting wind t hut has prevailed. Karly
tliis morning an enterprising teamster
put on u line of passenger barges be
tween Churlestown and Scollay Siiiare
and he leaned a harvest. Later lines
were started up under the manage
ment of the strikers. The steam rail
roads have been dangerously over
crowded on account of the sudden de
mands made upon them. During the
lute afternoon und early evening the
puhurban tralllc over the Hostou and
Albany mud was Immense.
This afternoon the committee of the
Conductors' and Motorinens' union that
held the conference with the West Knd
directors lust night, agreed to a week's
postponement of the strike, called upon
President Little In order to place them
selves right in the eyes of the West
Knd otliciuls. They explained the ap
parent violation of the agreement en
tered into last night by saying that the
men took matters into their own hands
and the strike was a fact even before
the supreme council was aware of it.
All this and more was submitted to
President Little and It was again Inti
mated thut nothing could avail until
the agreement was signed. The presi
dent reiterated his statement of yes
terday, that he was powerless to sign
the agreement and that, even If he did
so. It would be worthless without first
being accepted by the executive com
mittee of the company. The West End
Street Railway cocpany tonight Is
sued a notice to Its employes, In which
It stated that all employes who con
tinue In the service of the company
will be protected, but that all who vol
untarily absented themselves from ser
vice will be considered as having with
drawn from the employ of the com
pany. The company advertised for motor
men and conductors today and It was
said tonight that In response a large
number of men had been secured.
SIGNS OP WEAKENING.
At 9 o'clock tonight came the first
signs of weakening on the part ofthe
strikers, when it was reported that PK)
men of division No. 7, which Includes
Cambridge, Arlington, Newton and
West Somerville, had gone back to
work, and as a result a few cars are
running tonight between Huston and
Harvard square, Cambridge. Some
fifty or sixty men also returned on di
vision No. & (South Boston).
Over the Charlestown division the
strikers declured that If men are
brought from other cities to take their
places there will be trouble.
THE STRIKE DECLARED OFF.

strike has been declared off by the su
preme council of the Conductors' and
Alotormen's Cnion and the men will re
turn to work today.

DEFIES THE SULTAN.
Armenian Patriarch Sends In His Re.
signal lonAsked to Perjure Him
self and Betray His Compatriots.
London, Dec. 24. A Constantinople
dispatch to the Chronicle says that the
sultan has Invited the Armenian pa
triarch, Mgr. Ormanlan, to sign a doc
ument admitting that the Armenians
were solely responsible for the recent
troubles, thanking the sultan for his
clemency, declaring on behalf of the
Armenians that they are completely sat
isfied with the reforms Instituted, and
they are not desirous of foreign inter
ference. The Chronicle's correspond
ent says:
"The patriarch refused to sign this
statement; he left the patriarchate, and
sent his resignation to the Porte. It
has not vet been accepted."
The election of Mgr. Maghalka Or
manlan, the superior of the monastery
of Armash, Nicomedla, by the Nation
al Armenian association, was sanc
tioned by the sultan on November 28,
much to the satisfaction of Armen
ians, who hoped through this selec
tion that the feuds between the sultan
and his Christian subjects would soon
be settled. The new patriarch studied
theology at Home, where he was or
dained a priest. He was admitted In
the presence of Plus IX. to a theolog
ical discussion, at the end of which he
obtained the first diploma of Doctor of
Divinity.
On his return to Constantinople he
Joined, about 1878, the National Armen
ian church, together with many Ar
menian families who had belonged to
the Roman Catholic church. After
having exercised for three years the
functions of prelate of the Armenians
at Erieroum, he was consecrated a
bishop by Monslgnor Magar. His
patriotic tendencies having excited the
suspicions of the Turkish authorities,
he was recalled to Constantinople. He
was afterward appointed professor of
theology at the seminary of Ktchmald
zln, and aroused the suspicions of the
Russian government, which, In INS,
requested him to leave the country. He
retired to Constantinople, where he was
appointed preacher in the Armenian
churches of Kard-Gumruk and Pera,
ami later, principal of the seminary of
Armash. which he soon placed on a
level with similar Institutions In Ku
rope. ,
Monslgnor Ormanlan has often been
sent on mislsons in the Armenian
provinces, and knows thoroughly the
conditions of his fellow countrymen.
He is moderate, but firm. He is a
scholar, and has published important
writings in Armenian, Latin, French
and Italian.
