lawyer, took part. They called the attention of the strikers to the following sections of the statutes: “If any two or more persons conspire and Agree together with the fraudulent or malicious intent wrongfully and wickedly to injure the person, character, business or property of another * * * they shall be deemed guilty of a conspiracy, and every such offender and every person convicted of conspiracy at common law ahull be imprisoned in the penitentiary not exceeding three years or fined not exceeding SI,OOO. “If any two or more persons shall combine for the purpose of depriving the owner or possessor of property of its lawful use and management, or of preventing by threats, or suggestions of danger, or any unlawful means, any person from being employed by or obtaining employment from any snch owner or possessor of property on such terms as the parties concerned may agree upon, such persons so offending shall be fined not exceeding SSOO or confined in the county jail not exceeding six months. •If any person shall, by threat, intimidation, or unlawful interferences eeek to prevent any other person from working or obtaining work at any lawful business, or terms that he may see fit, such person so offending shall be fined not exceeding S2OO, “Whoever shall maliciously make any attempt, the same may not succeed, to place obstructions on any railroad track, to burn, blow up or destroy any railroad bridge, or in any way prevent the free and safe passage of trains on any railroads, 6ball be imprisoned in the penitentiary for not less than one or more than ten years. 4 Special emphasis was laid on the section last quoted, and the strikers were told that they had already rendered themselves liable under it, and could be consigned to the penitentiary if prosecuted. Then they were told very bluntly that the company was through temporizing and was prepared to begin such prosecution at once. Mr. Collins, one of the strikers who was served with an injunction, was convinced that by climbing on the engine Thursday afternoon and persuading Engineer Crotty to run it back, be was guilty of contempt of court, and he w powerless to escape fine or imprisonment Th { ' argument produced a very visible effect on M*. Collins. The strikers were further told that the cases against them in Justice Meech’s court and the complaints made in the Snperior Court would be vigorously pressed. .They were told, also, that they had rendered themselves punishable under the federal laws, and that warrants for their arrest would be sworn out at once in the United Btates Court, and they would be given the opportunity to make the acquaintance of the United States marshal and a federal jury. Various routes to the penitentiary, aa well as by-ways leading to heavy fines and jail sentences, were pointed out to them and the progress they had already made in each was marked off. After that branch of the subject had been duly impressed upon the minds of Messrs. Stab), O’Keefe and Collins a little straight talk was given them in another direction. Sheriff Hanchett told them that the next time be put a force down in the yarda it would number no less than six hundred men; that they would be fully nrepared and equiped, and that they would go here for business. He and others told them that arrangements had been perfected for calling out the militia, and that all that remained to do to set the First Regiment marching through the Forty-third street yards was the issuance of the oa>l, which could be promulgated in less than an hour; and then, to cap the climax, the Btril'trs were shown the process whereby it was Intended to bring a regiment or two of regulars to'the scene. They were shown that it could be done and would be done if they remained stubborn against further association with the eight objectionable switchmen. A remark or two was dropped iu their hearing, also, as to the habits acquired by the regulars and the militia in entertaining objectionable concourses of people. “There was no compromise at all on the part of the company or any concession whatever from the position taken last Saturday,"said President Newell last night. “No official or person authorized by the company has made any agreement that they shall be removed or dismissed. They are at liberty to continue working or to leave, just the same as any other employe. I don’t know but I would be glad if they would de cide to leave, for then every vestige of disagreement between the company and its employes would be removed. The report that those eight men are to be discharged or removed within sixty days is absolutely unfounded. There was no understanding or agreement, tacit or implied, of that kind.”

THE GOUXD LUSKS. Got. Marmaduke Think* the Trouble Rat Settled Down, and Will Soon Be Orer. Nbw York, April 24.—Gov. John S. Marraadnke, of Missouri, was seen at the St James Hotel this morning, and, in answer to a request that he give hie views concerning the labor troubles in the Southwest, said: “I think that, so far as the strike is concerned, public sentiment demands that commerce shonld move. Railroads not only represent private interests; they represent public interests as well. The great interests of the country demand that our railroad traffic be not disturbed, and that sentiment is growing stronger each day. Railroad managers and railroad laborers must recognize this and obey. Ido not know about the traffic >n the roads, except that it is growing daily. I lieve that the civil authorities shonld be used . far as possible in the settlement of these matrs. This is a government of the people, and e should use the bayonet only when absolutely necessary. I think the matter is settled down, nd that soon the troubles will be over." The Missouri Car Company’s Employes. St. Louis, April 24. -Yesterday afternoon. President McMillan, of the Missouri Car and Foundry Company, called together in the foundry department Os his establishment their fifty movers who did not jo!. n the recent strike of the other employes. He explainedthem the position of the company and promised them constant employment if they would remain at then" 00818 during the present trouble. He then requested all men who would stand by him and continue at work under any and all circumstances, to so signify. All except two of the men made the promise, and the foundry work of the comfiatiy still continues. In the evening, the strikng employes held a meeting and appointed a committee to request, for the last time. President McMillan to not supply the Missouri Paciflo Railway Company with repair material. The committee Appointed last night by the striking employes to wait upon President McMillan, and attempt to arrive at some settlement 6f the difficulty, called upon that gentleman today, and requested him to assure them that if they should return to work the company would cease furnishine repair material to the Missouri Pacific railroad. Mr. McMillen called the Attention of the committee to the fact that the object of their Strike had not been attained, as others had already applied for the contracts which the strike was making it impossible for his company to fulfill, and warned them that if they do not return to work on Monday, their places will be fijled by new men. The strikers have given no Intimation of their fntore course. A Few Points that Were Overlooked. Hew York, April 24.—Mr. W. B. Somerville tras seen at the office of Mr. Jay Gould this morning, and when asked about the visit to Washington of Mr. Gould, Mr. Hopkius and himself, he laid: “I have noticed that none of the New York papers have published a very significant statement made by Mr. Turner in his testimony before the congressional committee in Washington •csterday. Mr. Turner said: ‘I understand that ‘omplaints were made to the railroad company ast December by the men. They should have ’truck then, instead of waiting until they were not justified in doing so.’ “One of the Congressional committee said: ‘Yon mean not justified in public opinion?’ and Mr. Turner accepted the amendment “Mr. Powderly was Mked why there was a delay of two days in replying to Mr. Hopkins’s telegram notifying him of the stnko He replied: *1? President Cleveland heard of Some troubles in TSkas, for instance, it would probably take at J*iast two days to get at their merits—and his duties are trifling compared with mine.' “It was evident that the committee confounded the business in East St Lonis with the business passing of or the bridge, which was entirely

Mr. Turner eald tbe executive board was greatly surprised, upon arriving at St Louis, when told that no more than 50 per cent of the old men wonld be needed in running the road, whereas the committee was told before the conference took place in this city, that Mr. Hoxio had telegraphed Mr. Gould to that effect" JEFFERSON DAVIS. A Letter Giving His Views as to What Might be Done by Legislation. Galveston, Tex., April 24.— The following letter from ex-President Jefferson Davis, of the defunct Sonthern Confederacy, to H. W. Pope, of Marshall, Tex., in which Mr. Davis gives his views as to what legislation might be adopted to bring about harmony and unity of action between capital and labor has just been made public: “Bxauvoib, Miss., Maroh 27, 1886. “The Hon. H. W. Pope: “Dear Sir—Fully appreciating the compliment conveyed by your request for my views as to what legislation might be adopted to adjust the conflict now going on between capital and labor, I regret that the conflict is so little merited. The old war between capital and labor has called forth the efforts of the best intellect of Europe. It has disturbed commerce, overthrown governments, produced anarchy and crept from the wreck without solving the problem. With us the con- 1 test is in its incipient state, and happily it may be that something can be done to check its growth. Self-interest and free competition for labor will, whereverlaborers are abundant, give to the rich the power to oppress the poor. We cannot legislate to destroy the motive of selfinterest, for that lies at the foundation of material progress, and our efforts must therefore be directed to unifying the interests of labor and* capital, as far as this may be done by the Legislature of the State. The present form of the conflict in onr country is between association labor and corporations employing it It is not sufficient answer to say that the price of labor has advanced unless it can be shown that the profits of labor have moved pari passu with tbe profits of capital; for in this, as in other things of comparative welfare, we must consider the relative improvement. The standard of comfort rises proportionately to the increase of wealth in a country. Your idea of a court of arbitration, I think, has much to recommend it The organization of such a court so as to secure equally the confidence of both the contending parties would require both liberality and discre tion, and it would be needful that their decisions should be based on something like a co-operative principle of industrial partnership, in which the wages es tbe employes should be measured by the profits of the corporation. If, in this manner, a community of interest could be established, the welfare and contentment of both would seem to be a possible result. With sincere regard and best wishes for you and yonrs, “I am, your friend, Jkffkuson Davis." OTHER STRIKE AND LABOR NEWS. Fears of a Riot in New York In -Case ThirdAvenue Cars Are Run To-Day. New York, April 24.—T0-day is the ninth day of the strike on the Third-avenne surface road, and the situation is in many respects the same as on the first day. The cars began to run this morning as soon as the police arrived. The officers of the company had a conference to-day in relation to the starting of tht cable road, but arrived at no decision. It is intended to run the Third-avenue cars to-morrow. The police say that if this is done trouble will certainly result. Hundreds of workmen are idle on that day, and the police declare that if a riot should be started it would require the utmost exertion on the part of the police to subdue it in the present excited state of feeling. President Lyon said that the company bad no fear of being boycotted. Tbe company would soon be able to roan every car, but it would take time and money to do it. It was very likely, be stated, that no cars would be run on the cable road until next Monday. One of Bergb’s officers caused some delay to-day by ordering lame and tired horses to be unhitched from tbe case. Counsel for the strikers called at police headquarters to-day and asked that tbepolieemen who assisted the company iu running its cars should be punished. Tbe police tfbperintendeut declined to entertain tbe charges at the present time. Several of the new employes of the company were brutally beaten by strikers to-night Tbe fourtean-year-old son of one of the new men, who took a change of clothing to his father at the barns of the company, was also cruelly assaulted when he CAme out One of the new drivers to-night walked into the hall where the strikers were in session, flourished a pistol, gave his name, and said he had come to clear out the place. He was locked up. The strikers, 1,300 iu number, were paid each $lO to-day from the funds of the association

The Milwaukee Coopers. Milwaukee, April 24.—At a largely-attended meeting of the Coopers’* Union, to-day, the price list was changed by advancing prices for making beer barrels 15 to 20 per cent George Labunde, a representative of the St Louis union was present. He declared that that city had been greatly injured by tho brewers procuring their barrels in Milwaukee, over 100,000 quarter kegs having been manufactured here and shipped to St Louis during the past year. The coopers were paid 85 cents for making the kegs in St Louis, and the Milwaukee coopers received only 55 cents. The cost of shipping and other expenses brought the cost up to 65 cents, so that the St. Louis brewers saved 20 cents on each keg by having them made in Milwaukee. The cost of the rough material was about the same in both places. Mr. Labunde came to Milwaukee to lay the matter before the cooperß here, with a view of having some measures taken for the relief of their St. Lonis brethren, and his efforts in this direction appear to have been successful. The proposed increase of wages, if adopted, will still be 10 per cent lower thau now paid in St. Louis, according to bis figures. A committee was appointed to submit the new scale to the boh* es ' other meetings of the coopers will h* halt? next Friday evening to receive their report Pn> on other grades of work will also be oorrepoudi n ßly raised. Powderly of Various Things. Philadelphia, April 2fr-General Master Workman Powderly was to-day asked what he thought of the situation in the West. He said: “I am not prepared to make any statement. The papers have published all I have to say about it, and much thAt 1 have not said. I have been credited with many interviews never held. Yes, it has been charged that Mr. Irons was working in the interests of the gamblers, bdt I place no belief in the assertion. You must not ask me to express ray opinion of the merits of the strike. I have been so frequently misstated that I prefer to say nothing about it. So far as my dealings with Jay Gould are concerned, he not only deceived me, but he deceived all Wall street. I never used such language toward him as I have been credited with; nor did I ever claim a victory, or state, as a New York paper credited me with doing, that he was ‘squelched.' Such reports have done me and the cause 1 represent great harm, and are very unjust. The report that t have stated 1 would not be a gubernatorial candidate is true. I have frequently said I would not, and I will not I have no political aspirations, and even if I had I could not neglect the interests of the order of which I am the head. I will remain in the city till Monday, when T *eave for Boston. The Amalgamated and the Knights. Pittsburg, April 24.—The Leader to-morrow will announce that a fight between two of the greatest labor organizations in the oountry—the Knights of Labor and the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers—is promised for the near future. The Knights of Labor are charged with cajoling several lodges of the Amalgamated, whose charters had lapsed, into forming assemblies of the Knights of Labor. It is also said that the Federation of Miners will aid the Amalgamated. Baltimore ©or-Driver* Will Bold Oat Baltimore, April 34.—The ear*drivers held a meeting last night, which continued until after sunnse to day, and the drivers on tto Frick

lines determined to hold out New drivers are on the cars, and most of them are running. The company will make no concession, and in a few days all the lines will be supplied with new men, there being plenty of applicants for the placoe. The Third avenue railroad officials are receiving many letters from stockholders of the road expressing willingness to forego interest if the company may thereby be aided to maintain the stand it has taken. President Lyon to night said they were firmer now than at any time before. Seventy cars were run to-day on Third avenue. The company intends to run eighty cars to-morrow on Third avenue and fourteen on One-hundred-and-twenty-fifth streets. The Demonstration at Wllkosbarre. Wilkesbarrk, Pa., April 24. —The miners’ and laborers’ Amalgamated Associations of Luzerne, Lackawanna and northern Schuylkill counties held a grand demonstration here this afternoon. All the collieries In Luzerne county suspended work for the day, and about 12,000 persons took part in the parade. A massmeeting was held, at which addresses were made by Congressman C. N. Brumm, ex-Senator John Parker, Hon.W. H. Hines, of Wilkesbarre; Daniel Duff, Geo. Harris, State president of the society, and John Brody, assistant organizer of the society. They spoke at length upon the eight-hour law and the enforcement of it, and impressing upon the minds of their hearers that this did not mean a strike, as had been reported. What they, would demand was a fair day’s pay for eight hours’ work. Compromising on Nine Honrs. Pittsburg, April 24.—The agitation for a reduction of hours, which it had been feared would have a prejudicial effect on the hnilding trades this season is being ended peaceably by amicable arrangements between employers and workmen. The journeymen plumbers, who had demanded that eight hours be a day’s work, at the old wages, have withdrawn their demand and submitted a substitute proposition that nine hours shall be considered a day’s work, with eight hours on Saturday. These terms will probably be accepted by the master plumbers. The carneuters, stone masons and other building trades expect to arrange a compromise on similar terms, and thus prevent the season’s work from being crippled by strikes. The House Select Committee. Washington, April 24.—The indications are now that the select committee charged with investigation of the Southwestern strikes will not leave this city for Sfc Louis before Wednesday next, as several of the members are interested in matters likely to be acted upon in the House during the early part of the coming week. Labor Notes. The Catasaqua Manufacturing Company, of Easton, Pa, has given its employes an advance of 10 per cent, in their wages, to date from April L The increase benefits between 400 and 500 men. * At Palestine. Tex., yesterday, the grand jury returned indictments against Ezekiel Brown, Tom Hawley and J. Stillwell, strikers on the International & Great Northern railroad. The men were arrested last evening. At a mass convention of coal miners, held yesterday at Youngstown, 0., every mine in the Mahoding valley being represented, it was decided to ask for an advance of 10 cents per ton in the*price of mining, to take effect May L The differences between the brewers of Philadelphia and the Brewers’Workmen’s Union were satisfactorily adjusted yesterday. The brewers granted the increase in wages asked for, but insisted that ten hours’ work should he done for a day’s work. Vice-president Marvin Hughitt said yesterday morning that he had given no answer to the petition of the 300 men in the employ of the freight shops of the Northwestern Railway Company, at Chicago, who a few days ago asked for an advance of 20 per cent, and an eight-hour day. The railway officials have the matter under consideration, but Mr. Hughitt was disinclined to make any mention of what they intended doing. At a meeting of New England Division, No. 151, of tbe Order of Railway Conductors, at Boston, resolutions were adopted commending “the manly action, tha steadfastness to principle, and the prestige as exhibited in the Order of Railway Conductors employed on the Missouri Pacific in refusing to join in and discountenancing the strike which has been in progress in that section, to the detriment of both employe and employer.” Rev. J. S. Meynard, master workrasn of the Knights of Labor, at Augusta, Ga., gives R as his opinion that there will be no strike in the cotton mills there if the presidents will confer with the executive board. The Knights held a meeting last night, at which 1,500 Knights were present, men and women. The master workman says that they do not intend to strike; all that the Knights want is fair wages for their work. They want arbitration.

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Good Grover and James Harris, of Halifax, N. S., were drowned on Friday by the upsetting of their boat. Both men were married, and leave large families. Charles Sydney, a well known architect of Jersey City, has disappeared, leaving a large number of debts and worthless checks that he has passed on his friends there. At Taylor, Tex., Saturday, the eight-year-old daughter of John Anderson was burned to a crisp by an explosion of oil. A son of Samuel Lochgun was seriously, and three girls were badly burned. Mrs. Lyce, the wife of a farmer living near Dresden, Ont., and her three-year-old child were drowned in the river on Friday. The child fell over an embankment into the river, and the mother sprang after it. Willie Whitney, a eon of J. J. Whitney, of Jefferson county, Mississippi, was shot three three times and killed by J. D. Wycke. at a ball at Harrison Station, on the Natchez & Jackson railroad, on Friday night The shooting was the result of an old quarrel. The murderer escaped. It is reported that heavy undervaluations of German cloths, buttons and braids have been discovered here by New York customs officers. In some of these cases the valne placed on the goods was less than 20 per eent of the cost of the raw materials. It was found that such goods had been entered and shipped to Hartford, Conn., and the duty having been paid at a very low valuation, the goods were returned to New York. A frame building at Alton Pa., erected on posts and used as sleeping quarters for laborers, toppled over at 1 o'clock yesterday morning and caught fire from a stove. The building contained thirty-eight Italians in the employ of the Erie railway. Before they could get out six were burned in a horrible manner and three others badly injured. The charred remains of the unfortunate victims have beeu removed, and present a sickening sight. Henry U. Smith, a prominent farmer residing near Port Huron, Mich., an ex official of the county, while drunk tried to enter the house of G. G. Meisel, a well-known merchant, to escape a heavy rain-storm. He was taken for a burglar and two shots were fired by Meisel, the second entering the heart and resulting in instant death. The police were immediately notified and the body removed. The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide. Henry Fryer, aged sixty-eight years, who for many years has been one of the gate-keepers at Druid Hill Park, Baltimore, was found dead on Friday uight, hanging head down from a tree not more than ten feet from the gate. He had been training a wild-rose vine to run up the tree, and had, no doubt, lost his balance, and, in falling. caught his foot in a crotch of the limb on which he was standing. The body was accidentally discovered while it was yet warm. Colonel Dennison Charged with Forgery. Baltimore April 24. — C01. E. W.

FOREIGN NEWS OF ALL KINDS Harmonious Relations Established Between Prussia and the Vatican. Unpleasant Suggestion of a German Socialist —The Loss of Life and Property bj the Disaster at Strj—Notes by Gable. AFFAIRS IN GERMANY. Harmony Between Prussia and the Vatican —Unpleasant Suggestion of a Socialist. Berlin, April 24. —Reports have been current that Baron Von Schlcezer, the Prussian representative at the Vatican, was in disgrace, bat it is learned from official sources that these rumors are untrue, and that the Baron is in high favor both with the Berlin government and with the Vatican. It is stated positively that an agreement has been effected between Prussia and the church. There is no doubt that the object of Prince Bisraark in yielding to the demands of the Vatican is to gain the support of the Center party in the carrying out of various schemes in the immediate future. The Center is determined to remain a strong and united party, and to guard and defend the rights that have been won back from Prussia. Dr. Windtborst will probably soon relinquish the leadership of the Clericals, owing to his advanced age. The Liberals taunt Prinoe Bismarck with having at last gone to Canossa. They predict that the spread of ultramontanism in Prussia will prove disastrous to civilization and to progress. The*&otestant newspapers violently denounce what they term the surrender to the Vatican. An unpleasant sensation has been created by the recent speech of Herr Liebknecht, with which he closed the debate in the Reichstag on the question of prolonging the operations of the anti-Socialist law. Bis remarks are construed as meaning that he intended to suggest to his feliow-workmen to hang the promoters of the measure to the nearest lamp posts upon the first favorable oppoitunity. Herr Liebknecht avows that he had no such intention as is ascribed to him, but the public mind is not relieved by his disclaimer.

EARL SHAFTESBURY'S SUICIDE. How a Nobleman Ended HU Life in a London Cab. London Standard, April 14. The Earl of Shaftesbury committed suicide in London, yesterday afternoon, by shooting himself with a revolver while riding in a cab in Regent street He engaged a cab in the upper part of Regent street shortly after 4 o’clock, and directed the cabman to drive down the street. The driver did so, and on reaching the lower end of the street was told by the Earl to return. This the man did, and when the upper end of the street was reached his lordship again directed the cab to be turned round. This was done several times, and when the cab was near Oxford street, about 4:30 o’clock, the driver heard a shot. He jumped down, and the Earl, who was unknown to him, said: “It’s all right, cabman; drive on!” The man replied: '‘Yes, 1 know it’s ail right; but what is this?” pointing to a bullet hole iu the front part of the cab, near the glass panel on the left side, and adding: “But I value my life too much to drive on.” He was, however, about to mount the box again, when a second report was heard, and this time the unfortunate man shot himself in the left temple. At this moment a policeman, who had heard the first report came up and told the cabmen to drive to the Middlesex Hospital. A crowd gathered around the vehicle, but the Earl was not recognized until the hospital was reached a few minutes afterward. There the policeman and the driver of the cab carried the Earl, who was still alive, into the in-patients’ ward, and summoned the assistance of the house-9urgeon, Dr. Bartlett; but Lord Shaftesbury was just breathing his last and was beyond all surgical aid, the bullet having penetrated the brain. An intimation of tlie occurrence had been sent to the friends of the Earl, and in a short time the Countess of Shaftesbury arrived, followed by his lordship's butler. The weapon used was a six-chambered revolver. The position of the first shot indicated that it had been fired accidentally, but the situation of the fatal wound showed that the second shot was fired with a very deliberate aim. The body was removed to the mortuary of the hospital. According to the statement of the cabman the deceased engaged the vehicle at about 3:30 o'clock, at a spot nearly opposite York House Stores, in Waterloo place, Piccadilly Circus. No one was with him. Ho appeared calm and collected. and carried an umbrella. He instructed the man to drive up Regent street. Having proceeded as far as Langham Hotel, the driver looked ro’.ind in order to ascertain where to put np. Lord Shaftesbury beckoned with his hand for the man to proceed. When West terrace had been reached his lordship told the man to drive back again. On returning to Regent street the deceased i eked the driver how much the fare each way would be and the latter replied, ‘T do not know, sir." The deceased then said, “Say one shilling each way," and the cabman closed the bargain. The deceased remained in the cab and was driven to York House Stores. The cabman here descended and asked his lordship whether he would like to ride anywhere else. In reply the deceased a oesiro to cross the park, but immed)|fdy altering his intention, he added, "Never mind; go uo Regent stteet and I’ll stop you." The man drove on to Oxford street, where he looked around, but the deceased did not take any notice. He leaned back iu the cab and rested his legs on the front seat, with his umbrella between his legs and his hands grasping the umbrella When they were nearly opposite the Polytechnic institution a revolver was fired iuside the cab. The driver, jumping down, said, “Governor, wliat are you up to?” The deceased replied, “All right, cabby, it’s gone off in mistake." The man thought otherwise, and said: “Good mistake on your part, Governor, if yon happened to shoot me," whereupon Lord Shaftesbury put in the rejoiner: “I didn’t intend to shoot you." The driver, intimated that he did not want “any of thdse games” in his cab, refused to take the deceased any further and threatened to call a policeman. The deceased then said: “Don't be so silly as that; drive me on aud I will give you a fiver,” but the driver replied: “I dou’t want any of your fivers; your fivers won’t satisfy my life.* The deceased then put the revolver aside, and a police constable appeared on the scene at the same time. Before, however, the officer had lime to interfere, the deceased fired tbe second shot. Lord Shaftesbury was born in June, 1831. and sat in the House of Commons for Hull from 1857 to 1859. and for Cricklade from the latter year to 1865. He married, in 1857, the only daughter of the Marquis of Donegal, and haa left oue son, born in 1869, and five daughters. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. A Regency for Bavaria—The Crazy Louis Spending His Time In Drinking; Brandy. Munich, April 24. —King Louis has at last come to the eud of bis tether. The Bavarian Princes, who have been overhauling the royal accounts, have convinced themselves of the utter impossibility of saving the King from bankruptcy, and, takiug the bull by the horns, have resolved to propose a regency. The King was to have left Hohenschwangan on Thursday, but has shown such unmistakbls signs of insanity that his attendants had to prevent his departure. Latterly he has taken to drink and spends his days in eating and swilling 1 randy. Nobody dares approaeh him while he is at table. The other day his mother made an attempt to see him at Hohenschwangan, but was rudely sent about her business. Though the King is afflicted with constant insomnia, he has grown so fat and coarse that he can hardly walk, and Is almost unrecognizable. He has not out

his hair for months, and altogether looks more pitiable than the most wretched beggar in Bavaria. _ Dangerous Condition of Affairs in Galicia. Vienna, April 24.—A dangerous state of excitement exists among the ignorant peasantry of Galicia, Austro-Hungary, owipg to a rumor that the government intends to restrict the forced labor law, and to a report that the aristocrats are organizing a massacre of the Polish peasants in revenge for the atrocities which tlie peasants committed upon the nobles in 18? \ Secret meetings are being held by the peasants, a majority of whom are armed. The nobles are taking refuge in the oities. Forces of cavalry and infantry have been disposed throughout Galicia. Several agitators, who are supposed to be Russians, have been arrested there. The government is taking measures to calm and disabuse the minds of the peasants. The Loss of Life at Btry. Vienna, April 24.—The total number of deaths which have resulted from the conflagration Which recently devastated the town of Stry is 128. The greater number were caused directly by the flames, but many of the unfortunate people died from exposure, while some died of fright, and a few committed suicide in despair over their irretrievable losses. The burgomaster estimates that it will cost at least $1,200,000 to rebuild tbe burned houses. The loss on private property was $900,000. Vienna and Cracrow insurance companies are liable for $290,000 of these losses. Collision Between Orangemen and Catholics. Glasgow, April 24—A collision between Orange and Catholic roughs occurred after the holding of a Loyalist meeting here yesterday. Four arrests were made. At a later hour an Orange mob attacked a Catholic chApel, which was-crowded with worshipers, and smashed all the windows. The few police who were present were powerless to prevent the mob’s work of destruction. The priest conducting the services in the chapel ordered the doors to be locked, and thus prevented tbe mob from doing further mischief. A Huge Iron Tower. Paris, April 24. —An iron tower 984 feet high is to be erected on the grounds of the coming Paris international exposition. The tower will be supported by four pillars, which will be higher tnau the magnificent towers of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, which have an altitude of 295 feet. The structure will cost $1,000,000, and will be surmounted by a powerful electric light that will he visible, it is believed, as far as Dijon, which is 197 miles southeast of Paris. The Explosion in tlie Church of San Luis. Madrid.

A PRIMA DONNA ON STRIKE. A Remarkable Scene During the Performineff of “Lucia di Lamraermoor" at Chicago. Chicago, April 24.—There was a remarkable scene to night during the performance of opera “Lucia di Lammermoor," at the Grand Opera-house, by the Milan Grand Italian Opem Company. The audience was very small and very apathetic, and the singers were thoroughly discouraged at their failure to draw during their engagement of a week. The audience were preparing to sit through the last act, and were nonchalantly watching the left wing for the appearance of Lucia. They watched in vain. Tbe chorus stood in mute amazement and the musicians in the orchestra grinned. The audience stamped their feet and clapped their hands, while the gallery hissed repeatedly. The curtain was rung down, And there was await of five minutes. Finally Senor Alberto Zarate, manager of the company, made his appearance on the stage and said that Miss Eva Cummings, who was singing the role of Lucia, had suddenly become ill, and was too indisposed to continue her p&etof the performance. However, the opera would go on without her. While Zarata was speaking, Lucia's face appeared at the other side of the stage, her eyes fastened on the manager. When he concluded, she exclaimed, “That’s not so; not one word he has uttered is true—l want my salary.” The face was withdrawn and the audience relapsed into cheers and hisses. The ourtain was drawn again, aud Miss Cummings, arrayed in the white costume of Lucia, walked to the center of the stage. In her right hand she held the dagger with which she was to have ended Lucia's existence. She flourished it in no gentle manner, and declared: “I lmve received no moDev from the management this week. That Is my reason for not singing,” and the prims donna bowed herself gracefully to the left side of the stage. She turned to make her exit, but the curtain was bold fast by invisible forces inside, and she turned toward the right exit. “I’ll get off thi9 stage some way,” she exclaimed, aud with a rush she pushed the curtain back. She had got about half way through when the invisible force again tried to pin the curtain against her exit. The white-robed Lucia stubbornly persisted: Suddenly, with a jerk, the curtain was drnwn. Whether it was because of the dagger or the result of the applause of the audience that induced the invisible force to 8* quickly let the curtain alone, no one present was able to say. The curtain, however, did open, and tbe graveyard scene, without a burial, waa ended to the satistactiou of everybody. Earnings of the Pennsylvania. Philadelphia.
