BLOODY DUEL IX HOliOKE.V.

NEW YORK, April 21.—At Hoboken ea% In the morning Angela Gaboth murdered his mothcr-in-law, danger* ously stabbed his father-in-law and was Main by Conoguito Chinchilla, aged 18, A son of the murdered woman. Gaboth's wife and her brother also racelved stab wound*.

The row occurred at 195 Grand street Gaboth and his wife were visiting her parents, the Chinohellas. Gaboth, it is believed, visited the Chlnchellas for the purpose of robbing his father-s-law. Sunday night Mrs. Gaboth slept with her mother and Gaboth slept with his father-in-law. About 12:30 o'clock, when all we?fe soundly sleeplag, Gaboth, armed with a stiletto, arose from the bed and noiselessly glided into his mother-in-law's room. Leaning over the sleeping woman he plunged the weapon into her abdomen, and then with a semi-circular sfceop of the weapon almost disemboweled her. The woman uttered but a single shrtek. She died almost instantly. Her cry partly aroused her husband, but not hearing it repeated he thought nothing further of it and soon fell asleep again. Gaboth's wife, who vrtis sleeping with her mother, mode no sound. The blood from her mother's horrible wound literally covered her, but still 6he did stir. There if no doubt that she was well aware of What her husband was doing and it looks as if she was a party to the plot to murder her relatives.

Gaboth. after killing his mother-in-law, returned to the room in which his father-in-law sjept. A moment later he thrust the stiletto, still reeking with the blood of Mrs. Chinchella, into the neck of her husband. Ills aim %vas bad and he missed the vital spot, but the knife made a ragged wound in Mr. Cliinchella's throat The wounded man gave a shrink which awakened his son Conoguito. The latter sprang from his bed audj rushed into his father's room. He was met by Gaboth with the stiletto dripping with blood in his uplifted hand. Conoguito was also armed with a stiletto. Gaboth struck a vicious blow at the son which the latter dodged. A fight to the death followed. Up and down the two men fought, each trying to carve the life out of the other. GRboth's wife, hearing the struggle, ran from her room and threw herself between the combatants. In doing this she received two slight stab wounds. Young Chinohella was further enraged at the sight of his sister covered with blood and pressed his antagonist the harder. Anselmo Chinchella, another son, took a hand in the row at this point and dragged his sister away, insisting that the two igen be l£ft to fight it out Young Chinohella provqd the stronger and more active of the two. He made afelftt at his antagonist and a moment later drove the stiletto into his left eye and into the brain. As Gaboth was falling young Chinchella drew out the weapon and quickly plunged it into Gaboth's left side, piercing the heart The latter fell to tho floor a corpse.

Gaboth's wife, realizing that her husband had been killed, gave vent to a succession of screams. The neighbor* were aroused and broke into the apartments of the Chinohellas. The Chinchella boys and their sister are under arrest It is not expected that tho father will survive.

At the police station young Chinchella said: "If rder, then I didmurder Gaboth. tiled my mother and tried to kill ither. He would have kilied us all had not killed him. It was a fight for life between us and I killed lfirn."

SAX ANTONIO, Tex., April arrived hero in tho

-The

presidential midst of a lieavjr rainstorm at 0 a. m. Monday. Thfl reception was most enthusiastic, but under the circumstances the effect of the liberal street decoration was spoiled by the steady downpour, which necessitates the abandonment of all outdoor ceremonies. The party were driven to the opera a house, where addresses of welcome were made by Gov. Hogg and Mayor Callahan, and responded to by tho president Secertary Husk and Postmaster General Wanamaker. The president then held a public reception, which was largely attended. A short visit was made to Fort Sam Houston, after which the guests departed for El Paso.

Among other tiling the president said in his speechi "I rejoice that you have here so great a commonwealth. The stipulations under which Texas came Into the union ot the states, and which provided that that irroat territory might be subdivided Into live great states, seems not to attract much attention In Texas now. indeed, as far as I can judgo, no man would be ablo successfully to appeal to tho suffrages of any hamlot In Toxas upon the issue that the Atate should be divided at alL [Cheers.] "1 am glad to know and to have expressed my satisfaction before that here In tho state ot Texas you are Riving attention to education that you have been able to erect a school fund the Interest upon which promises a most magnificent endowment for ycur oommlttee on schools. These schools aro the pride and safety of our state. They gather Into them upon a common level with us, and I hope with you, tho children of the rich and poor, tn tho state In which dwell everybody's ohlldren attend the cpmmon schools. This lesson or equality, the perfect system which has been developed by this method of instruoslon, Is training a value# class of oitizons to take up tho responsibilities of government when we shall lay them down. [Applause.] bopo every one of your commumtles, ovnn your scattered rural communities, will pursue this good work."

TO QUIT ON MAY DAY

Preparations of tho Minors for Tholr Coming Strike.

THEY DEMAND THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

Operators Not DI.po.eri to firant it, and 800,000 Will Cease Work May 1—Trouble Apparently Ahead

In Europe.

LABOR'S WAII.

CHICAGO, April 21.—The threatened strike of the miners May 1, if it takes place, will be one of tho most colossal in history and marked by many features which will make it memorable. Tho strike will be for an eighthour working day. Two liuudred thousand coal miners and laborers employed about mines will stop work. The strike will bo backed by the American Federation of Labor, tho most powerful body of organized labor In the world, which now numbers 1,000,000 members. All these members have been assessed monthly since January 1 for tho strike fund which will be used to aid the miners in their struggle.

The operators, as those who own coal mines and coke ovens and market their own products are termed to distinguish them from mere Tlealers, have formed a close association. They have met the miners in conference at Pittsburgh and failed to come to terms. Col. W. P. Rend, of this city, stood alone among the vast assembly of operators as an advocate of granting the eight hours a day. Tho strike will be so extensive as to practically cover the coal fields of the country, and shortage, high prices, famine In coal may be among tho early results. Railroads and the great manufacturing establishments are already buying coal in enormous quantities and having it delivered to them at once in view of the threatened strike. The strike will cover the great hard and soft coal fields of Pennsylvania, tho soft coal districts of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, as well as the smaller coal territories in other states. But the states named aro the great coal producers. There is hard coal in Wyoming, but it is undeveloped, and there is considerable soft coal in Iowa. There will be no strike in the great coal fields of tho south, in Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. The mining is done there by convict labor by tho state. But all the output of the southern mines is demanded by the southern market, so that it will be impossible for them to come to the aid of tho northern and western mine-owners.

The miners are organized as the United Mine Workers of America. John B. Rae is president, and their organization is a thorough one. The prominent character in the struggle on behalf of the miners will be Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. The storm center will be Pittsburgh. Mr. Gompers is now completing a trip through all the coal districts encouraging tho men, creating enthusiasm among all tho federated trades over which he presides, selecting his lieutenants, giving out instructions and making final preparations for tho struggle.

The date for this strike was set over a year ago at the Boston convention of the American Federation of Labor. In 1885 this body, meeting at Cleveland, decided to force the concession of an eight-hour working day, and fixed on May 1, 1880. as the date for a general strike in all the trades where the demand was refused. The brunt of the battle fell on Chicago, and the climax was readied in tho Haymarket tragedy, the result of anarchistic interference with trades unions. Some trades secured eight hours on that memorable day, but the general result showed the plan to bo impracticable. At tho next general convention, in 1888. a resolution fixing May 1. 1800, as a date for a general strike was defeated. After four days of discussion another plan of campaign was adopted. It was decided, instead of a general strike every three or four yearB, to have one trade strike each year, May 1, and throw the entire strength of the federation to its support. The best organized trade union was to be given the honor of making the contest. The carpenters were selected as the trade on which the first fight should be made, and May 1, 1890, sot as the date for the strike for eight hours. A series of eight-hour meetings was held. Public sentiment was aroused. The carpenters struck. The financial and moral aid of the federation was given them and they won. Of the 350 cities in which they struck they won their demands in 800. In some cities, besides shorter hours, larger wages were also secured.

A COMING STRIKE IN KL'ITOI'E. LONDON, April 21.—In view of tho approach of May-day anarchists aro busy throughout Europe organizing for a general strike. In Paris, Vienna and Madrid they arc distributing fiery circulars. Fifty thousand of these circulars are said to have been distributed in tho barracks of Paris surreptitiously -during the last week. Meetings of workmen Were held Sunday throughout Austria and Hungary to arrange for demonstrations, and displayed great cohesion. In Spain tho workingmen are agitating '|n Barcelona, Valencia, Cadiz, Valladolld, Saragossa and other places, but the trades unions deprecate the strike on the ground that tho men are unorganized and lack funds, and that by striking they will only play Into the hands of the employers besides creating a hostile feeling in the cortes after the government's projected important remedial measures. All the European governments have decided to prohibit outside demonstrations. The employers are combining to refuse a holiday in

Spain, and Insist that every indoor meeting must be attended by a government delegate. .....

GEN. FOSTER'S TREATY WITH SPAIN.

Premier Canovas Yield* to Strong Prensure and Practically KeilnquUhes Comnierce with the Cnbann-A

Good Bargain for Ui*

PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY. LONDON, April 21.—The reciprocity convention between Spain and the United States as drafted by Premier Canovns del Castillo, representing Spain, and Gen. J. W. Foster, representing the United States, is based, as far as the United States is concerned, upon the reciprocity section of the now American tariff law. In return for the privilege of free entry into the United States of Antilles sugar, molasses, coffee and hides, and a reduction of the duty on tea, America will obtain exemption from duties, on most of its raw and manufactered products, and a reduction of tho tariff on cereals and flour.

The negotiations were protracted upon the question of tho entire abolition of the tariff on ceroals, flours and oils, including petroleum and lard. The same question in regard to tobacco was also raised, but not coming within the scope of the third section of the American tariff law wus put aside. Premier Canovas offered protracted resistance to the abolition of the tariff on flour. Barcelona and Santander traders, who aro largely interested in flour shipments, presented energetic protests which fortified the minister in his Indisposition to accede to the American proposals. Eventually representations that American reciprocity would be Impossible without the free admission of American cereals induced Premier Canovas to assent to such a reduction of the tariff as will place American flour upon a nearly equal footing with Span isli flour.

Santander merchants declare that, taking into consideration the cost of the transportation of Ca6tile grain, of which the bulk goes to the Antilles, American flour will crush out the Spanish product in the Spanish West Indies. Cuba now consumes 500,000 barrels of flour yearly, chiefly Spanish, whicji enters free of duty, and pays for it 813 per bp.-rel. Trade in American flour, burdened with an extra duty of 20 per cent sinee 1889, has been completely wiped out to the advantage, of tho Spanish product.

Under the new convention the entry of American flour practically free of duty will lower the j!rice to about six dollars per barrel and will extinguish the importation of Spanish flotir while increasing the Cuban consumption to a million barrels yearly, all of which will be American product If the pressure of Spanish interests had not been counteracted by the demands of the Cuban commission of notables, who were determined to obtain reciprocity with tho United States, Premier Canovas would have declined to make such concessions.

The prospect of a dangerous tension of the relations of Spain with Cuba and Puerto Rico, resulting probably in civil war, obliged the government to sacrifice home industries to colonial interests. Under the new convention America will obtain a kind of zollverein with the Spanish Antilles. Her wheat, beans, flour, lard, petroleum, manufactured products and machinery will enter practically free of duty. Among other Spanish exports olive oil will be replaced by American lard, and beans, now exported to Cuba in large quantities, will cease to be sunt. The advantages resulting to Cuba will be great, but it is impossible to estimate the injury to Spauish trade.

According to the returns of the Britisli consul general at Havana the sugar crop In Cuba for 1890 amounted to 045,I 894 tons, against 620,439 tons in 1889.

Of molasses the total prod uct was 111,422 tons, as compared with 101,050 tons in 1889. The exports of sugar to Europe from the 1st of January to the 31st of July, 1890, were 49,305 tons, and to the United States during the same period 359,012 tons.

JOE MULHATTON INSANE.

The Noted Story Teller Confined at the Chicago Detention Hospital. CHICAGO, April 21.—Joseph Mulliatton is insane. He is locked up at the detention hospital to await formal examinatlon into his mental condition. Mr. Mulliatton is a traveling salesman. He became widely known some years ago as the apotheosis of the drummer's talent for telling tall yarns. His extraordinary ability in this professional acquirement excited the unbounded admiration of his fellowdrummers, which was appropriately expressed by making him their candidate for the presidency of the United States during the last national campaign. Last January he was thrown from a street-car in New Orleans, and the fall caused concussion of the brain, which finally resulted in insanity. He has been In the city four days and was staying at No. 878 Wabash avenue. H. B. Mulvaney, a lodge brother, found him roaming about the ttreets la a dewsaUd condition, jind
