New York, March 17. Thirty-five hundred employes of the United States and Wells-Fargo express com panies threw in their fortunes today with the 1,500 striking drivers of the Adams Express Company. This total was increased by the drivers of sev eral smaller concerns, but the employ es of the American and National com panies stuck to their wagons despite entreaties and the. threat of a union official to declare a strike on "every thing on wheels" in the Metropolitan district if the trouble was not adjust ed by Monday night. Mayor Oaynor was astounded when he learned that his peace proposals, accepted by the men yesterday, had been overridden by the Jersey City men at a midnight conference. "This strike is absolutely inexcusa ble," he told a delegation of the Na tional and American drivers who ap pealed to him for protection. "Fur ther than that, it is criminal and bru tal. Do not be drawn into it. I shall have three policemen, if necessary. detailed, to every one of your wagons.' Many drivers ordered out in tne sympathetic strike were largely dis satisfied '. with the. turn of events and a meeting, nas been called for tomor row to discuss the matter. N Today the United States and Wells Fargo companies moved their wagons under heavy police ' protection and there waa Httle disorder. r Should the general teamsters walk outbei ordered as ' threatened, ; labor men say 'It Would be the " greatest strike ever called in this section. a..r .: BASCHANQ FOUND GUILTY.

Caused Indignation Details. New York, March 17. The wife and daughter of Joseph Hull, of Savannah, Ga.,one of the wealthiest and most Influential men in the South, were re quired to disrobe in their stateroom aboard the steamship Lusitania today while a customs inspectress acting on a mysterious tlp,subsequently found to be false, made a vain search for a diamond necklace, thought to have been purchased abroad. The search proving futule, Mrs. Hull and the daughter, Eliza Lamar Hull, were allowed to proceed to their ho tel, Where another daughter, Nina W., convalescing from an attack of typhoid fever, had preceded them without having been subjected to search. "The necklace rumors dismissed. customs inspectors scrutinized the family baggage and charging under valuations in the case of Mrs. Hull and the daughter, Eliza L... seized the articles in question. Mother and daughter maintained they had acted in good faith, but their explanations "ere not considered satisfactory to Collector Loeb and the articles were seized. They consist entirely of wearing apparel and will be held un til "the home value" that is the for eign cost puis duty, is paid. Joseph Hull, the husband and fath er, was on the pier to greet his wife and daughter, as was a son, Daniel, a cotton broker in this city. All were indignant at the proceedings and threaten to carry the matter to the- courts if necessary. "We were made to take off even out stockings," said Mrs. Hull. "Every stitch of 6ur clothing was searched and even our hair did not escape. I consider this treatment an outrage and I had no idea such a thing could happen on. American soil." - It-was explained for the family that the report concerning the necklace had probably come from Savannah where "there was jealousy," over the fact that the "Hulls were fortunate enough,, to enjpy foreign luxuries .'and finery.

"My sister Eliza has a diamond necklace- which she purchased live years ago in Savannah. A customs inspector there heard of this and got the mistaken impression that she bought the trinket in Paris and was bringing it with her on this trip. Of course she had no such jewels." It was pointed out at the Law De partment of the custom house tonight that Federal laws give the authorities full power to search passengers sus pected of having dutiable articles con cealed about them and it was added that . there has never been a suit brought as the result of such a search ; Joseph Hull came on herefrom Sa vannaih especially to, meet;.iis .retsrn ing wife and daughters.

El Paso, Texas, March 17. That Francisco I. Madero, leader of the Mexican insurrectos, is concentrating his forces .100 miles south of El Paso, with, a vjew , of storming and taking a town, if possible, Casas Grande, and establishing in it a "capitol" from which ;to carry on his operations throughout Sonora and Chihuahua, was asserted by the El Paso revolu tionary junta tonight. Couriers bearing messages from Madero to the confidential agents of the revolutionary movement in New York and Washington, arrived today from the insurrecto camp. The mes sages were in response to information that had been conveyed to Madero concerning supposed preliminary peace negotiations which Senor Li mantour, Mexican Minister of Finance is- now thought to be bearing to Mex- co City. Madero had not been made ac quainted with the developments in the j ast two or three day? as it requires about a week for a courier to reach him and return. Mexico City, March 17. If Minister of Finance Limantour is coming to capital ' with the intention of inducing President Diaz to listen to terms pro posed by the insurrectos for cessation pf hostilities his efforts will prove fruitless. While the administration.no longer denies'tha a condition of war .exists. t Id not admitted By the government that the insurrection exists in aH por tions, of the Republic, as the revolu tionists-contend, but only in the North, chiefly ; in Chihuahua. The spasmodic' outbreaks in other States are not regarded as part of the insur rection. During the entire campaign accord ing to A statement made at the War Department today, "the rebels have not won a single decisive v battle." "If we yield to the rebels in any of their demands for peace under these conditions it would be most absurd," said officials high in the government. Minister Limantour has some other plan, other than suggested in dispatch es received frm New York, he may receive co-operation from General Diaz. That the administration . would be willing to grant terms was regard ed a a strong probability, but only after the rebels had laid down their arms. That President Diaz woulid agree to declare his recent election void.

The Statement that Galveston is the destination of the car was vol unteered by the car porter at Mar shall, Texas, late today, Before the Texas & Pacific train, to which the. private car was attached, left Texarcana this afternoon, a mes senger was sent to prospective inter viewers "to tell the gentlemen that we have no news to give out nor will we talk at?all." At each, station news paper meri were on hand, but nothin was forthcoming from the party. At MaraKall: two of the party came to the rear platform. One declared Limantour was in the car,, but a mo ment later corrected himself, saying that it was the car of Senor LaMadrid They were told that report had It that the firisurfectos had planned to burn bridges to hinder the ministers trip. The information brought a frown, but no comment." . A dispatch from Lng View through1 which the car passed early tonlght,"said a report had gained credence that the car Hidalgo is now only traveling as a ruse, that the min ister preceded It on a special train and was met here yesterday by Mr, Freeman, Qf the' Inland Great North era Railroad, ln his private ar, which proceeded toward the border after taking Senor Limantour aboard. If the minster is going to take ship at Galveston he should reach that city by noon tomorrow. No sailings are reported 'from Galveston for Mexican ports tomorrow.

New York, March 17. The bull clique has still kept its grip in cotton market. They have been favored by the Increasing strength of the statisti cal position. Powerful cliques both at New York and Liverpool are to all appearances banking on this as much as anything else. They are also apparently keeping a sharp eye on the short interest in the May option as well as other months despite the fact that they have allow ed the May premium over July to shrink from 28 points to 18. That may have been for the purpose of in ducing further short selling of May. Bulls think there is no likelihood of the cotton schedules being disturbed in any tariff discussion during the coming session of Congress and they do not expect to be hampered by a renewal of anti-option legislation or at any rate, by a possibility of such iconoclastic legislation as they re gard it, being passed. Money is abun dant at home and abroad and the stock market has stood the test of recent bad news so well as to encour age bulls in the commodity markets. Receipts at the ports have been light.
