"I am for it, and it will be adopted," waa his very emphatic reply. - Mr. Sherman did not take his position without consulting. Ha baa a good deal at atake, beioe not only a candidate for the presidency, but the recognized leader of his party in Congress. He seems very much pleased with the manner in which hia speech was received, and when I saw him to-night was confident that just what he advocated would be done before the session was two months old.

CORBIN'S STRIKING MINERS

Several Iron Furnaces Compelled to Shut Down Because of Lack of Coal. Relations of the Locomotive Firemen and Striking Knfffhts The Strike of Miners About Complete General Labor If ewe. Philadelphia, Jan. 5. President Corbin, General Manager MeLeod and Superintendent Sweigard. of the Philadelphia Ss Reading railroad, were in conference at the general office of the company this morning, but the nature of their deliberations waa not divulged. Mr. MeLeod, in repiy to an inquiry, said Mr. Corbin bad nothing fcr.pnblieation. He admitted that newspaper men bad last evening been 'given to understand that a statement to the public would be issued frem the Beading office to-day, but said that the matter bad been reconsidered and that no statement would now be made today. A rumor in circulation that the Beading company bad agreed to arbitrate with the striking coal miners waa pronounced untrue by the company's officials. The strike of the railroad hands still hanea on without any appearanee of change. The run ning of trains ia accomplished with regularity, and the company regarda itself in a better position, so far as the train hands are concerned, to-day, than at any time previous to the strike. General Manager MeLeod appears confident that the miners' strike cannot cause a coal famine. The situation at Port Richmond is unchanged. The strikers still maintain their ground, although they are less confident of success than before. It was reported that several iron fur naces were compelled to shut down on account of scarcity of coal. The relations of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen to the Knights of Labor engaged in tha strike haa been definitely explained in a dispatch received in this city from F. S. Sargent, grand master of the Brotherhood, who resides at Terre Haute, Ind. The telegram, declaring that members of the , Brotherhood should not allow themselves to become involved in any way in the strike of the Knights of Labor, was addressed to Jeremiah J. Leahy, who waa a member of the executive committee of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad employes' con vention before the present strike. Mr. Leahy, aa a membejof the executive committee ot the Reading employes' convention, moved to declare the first strike off, and after that waa done refused to join in the second strike. For this he waa shunned by the Knights of Labor. He resumed bis position aa an engineer, and is still at work. In addition to beine a Knieht of Labor Mr. Leahy waa also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and held the posi tion of master, or president of Lafavette Lodge. Bernard J. Sharkey, president of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad em doves' con vention, and one of the men discharged by the Heading company, on aocount of the Port Rich mond trouble, waa vice-master of tne samelodge. On Sunday last the lodge met and the friends of Mr. Sharkey succeeded in passing a resolution requesting the members not to go to work. In consequence of this action, a number of them went on - strike. Master Leahy, who is also one of the five members of the national executive committee of the Brotherhood, made inquiry of Grand Master Sargent aa to what position he should take in the matter, and the answer he received was as follows: Tkbre Haute, Ind., Jan. 4. Jeremiah J. Leahy You will remain master of Ia. f&yette Lodge until you resign, and your resignation is accepted, or eharees are broncht acainst. t fnr violating the laws of the brotherhood. No bulldozing on the part of the members belonging to tne Knights of Labor will be permitted. I will reclaim tha r hut.? if any member of the lodge is allowed to be the agent in involving our brotherhood in a strike that we have nothing to do with, and members of the brotherhood will so understand it. Yon will attend to the of master of the lodge and guard her interests. V. S. SARGENT. Lafayette Lodge has about 220 members. There are seven or eight other lodges in the city lias win oa anecsea oy tne grand masters deisioa. Reading. Pa.. Jan. 5. The coal ahinmenta down the Reading road for the twenty-four houra ending with noon to-dav were the most meagre of the week, and will barelr cover 800 car-loads, nearly ali of which came from indi vidual collieriea. B. J. Sharkey, of Port Richmond, the chairman of the Reading convention which ordered the railroad strike, passed through this city to-day. He said that the situation in the coal regiona was such that within twenty-four houra there would be a total suspension; that it was doubtful whether Mr. Corbin could bring about a settlement now, even if he desired and that he found the miners in full sympathy with the railroaders. At the company a office in this city it ia stated that the leaders of the strike entirely mistake the temper of the minora who are now out; that many of the latter are middle-aged men who went through the long lockouts of 1864 and 1874, and that they are decidedly opposed to standing out in the midst of the winter. At the office of the company everything is reported quiet north and south of Reading. A telegram from Pottaville says: "The miners' strike is more complete than ever. Hitherto the number of idle and working col lieriea has been willingly stated at the office of the coal and iron company. To-day the officials there said that they had been instructed not to give out these figures. The miners say that the reason ia that there are no Reading collieriea working at alL The best information, however, ia that the Suffolk colliery, near Mabanoy City, and the Brookside, at Tower City, are still working, but with crippled forces. The Henry Clay, . a Reading colliery near Shamokin, was compelled to abut down to-day because the shaft running the machinery of the breaker was broken. Two Reading collieries, the Richardson, at Glen Carbon, and the North Franklin, near Riverton, were working yesterday, but are closed to-day on aecount of the strike. One of individual eollieries, William Penn, near Shenandoah, which haa been working nnder an agreement to continue to pay on the advanced basis pending settlement, shut down to-day. The reason ia that tfie miners refused to cut coal to be loaded on cars handled by non-union men. Thia is the first instance of the kind, and it goes to show clearly that tne srrike of the miners is not alone on account ot the question of wages, "but it is also intended to help their striking brethren of the railroad." The fact that the managers of the minora' strike are In thorough sympathy with the railroaders is also shown by the following telegrams between John H. Davis, chief manager of the miners' strike, and the editor of Bradatreet's: New York, Jan. 5. To Chairman Davis, Chairman Joint Committee of Miners' Organization, Fottsrille: Will you kindly wire what is the total t. umber of Reading coal miners on strike; also, the total of Reading railway employes who have struck The understanding here is that the miners promised to give up the 8 per cent, advance on Jan. 1 unless miners' wages elsewhere had been advanced, Ts this sol Mewe telegraphans briefly your position in thia .11 -i : - vl- i a. . maner. a ueir to puuusu ia iacrs. Albkkt C. Stkveks, Editor Bradstreet's. Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 5. Albert C. Stevens. Editor Bradatreet's: Twenty thousand Reading mine-workers and about 18,000 railroad men. The miners did not promise. by act vr implication, to give up the 8 per cent, advance on Jan. 1. Our position is, railroaders and miners in a common cause of right and justice. John li. Davis. Chairman Davis is in consultation to-night with several individual operators, and while the result of the consultation is kept secret, it is believed that nearly all of the twenty-eight individual collieries will be in operation to-mor row. At aeverai ot tneir collieries the miners have already eut coal for ears to be run by men who bsve taken the places of striking railroaders. As the whole position of the miners is rov er ned by the action of the local assemblies and branches, it is reasonable to believe that in case of an agreement with the company some miners would return to work regardless of the railroad atrike, and that some would not. Chairman Lee and C J. Farne, who have been to Scranton to confer with General Master Workman Powderly on the subject of the strike. returned tbis evening. They report that Mr. Powderly unqualifiedly repudiated all assertions attributed to him to the effect that he was opposed to the railroad strike. Lee and Fame were directed to return to Pottsville, select a committee from the joint exeeutive board ot the railroad men and miners, and to proceed to Philadelphia at once and present the entire mat ter to the general executive board of the order, which, no to thia time, have received no official knowledge of the strike, which they are expected to sustain. The executive board will be apeedily sommooed for the purpose of acting upon the statement of the strikers. I he interruption ot the eoa! output baa at last bad one compensating effect on the business of the Reading company. It baa greatly minimized the difficulty of tne problem of securing men to fill the places of the refractory railroaders. On th Frsekvtile branch, where ordinarily 2,000 cars of .coal are handled daily, now there is none

coming down, and of course there is use for comparatively few. railroaders. . On the Lebanon & Tremont and Schuylkill & Susquehanna branches some fifteen entire crews, comprising sventy-five men, have been laid off, and should the suspension of mining eontinne there wiil be no work for at least 1.500 of the number of eoal-train men ordinarily employed. All the aidings throughout the region are filled with empty coal care. The Schuylkill valley branch, together with every one of the main tracks, ia completely blocked from Palo Alto to Com Do la, a diatance of four or five miles. - Painters va. Hard-Wood Finishers. Chicago, Jan. 5. It has developed that the

principal object of the visit of T. P. Barry, of the general executive board, Knights of Labor, is to settle a dispute between the painters and bard-wood finishers. The bard-wood finishing business has only recently developed in this country as a distinct trade. It has been either connected with the painting trade or the cabinetmaking industry, , but principally the former. More recently, however, the finishing of hardwood for the interior of dwellings, ears and certain linea of 4 furniture, has grown into an immense business. There are 4,000 bard-wood finishers in Chicago alone, aside from probably fifteen per cent, of the painters, who work more or less at the name trade. The painters realize that just in proportion as the bard-wood finishing business increases thatof the painters must decrease, and they have determined and decreed that the bard-wood finishing business is a part of their trade and not a separate one. Lately the painters in one of the largest establishments here demanded the discharge of the finishers. The demand waa refused and a strike followed. It is understood that the bard-wood-finishera will win the fight, and that painters who are Knights, will be compelled to fraternize with them in a more friendly spirit. The State A ssoclattlon of K. of T. pecial to the Indiananclis Journal. Ft. Watne, Ind., Jan. 5. The State Association of Knights of Labor closed their two days' session in this city to-night, when the following new State officers were installed: Master workman, R. F. Jacks, of Lebanon; foreman, T. F. Butler, of Kokomo; corresponding sec retary, jr. E. Keiger, of Wabash; financial secretary, Q. M. Newbold, of Monen; treasurer, J. B. Hobbs, of Wabash; statistician, Henry Bird, of Michigan City; executive board, J. IL Rohan, Ft. Wayne, for the northeast district, and W. D. Schieff, Delphi, northwest district; delegates to General Assembly, F. J. S. Robertson, Cloverdale; A. B. Dilworth, Connersville; J. H. Rohan, Ft. Wayne, and R. F. Jacks, Lebanon. The convention today voted to reduce the salaries of the State officers of the order to half the amount heretofore paid them. The meetings are atated to have been harmonious and of great value to the knights. A Radical Difference of Opinion.' Pittsburg, Jan. 5. The employes at the seven furnaces owned by Carnegie, Phillips & Co., atBraddoek, Pa., made a demand, to-dav, for a 10 per cent, advance in wages. The firm claim that the condition of the steel market will not justify an advance,-and instead of an increase in wages, the men will have to accept a slight reduction. Several hundred men are interested. At the Lucy furnace, owned by the same company, a conference between manufacturers and workmen was held to-day for the purpose of settling the wage differences, but no definite conclusion was reached. Powderly's Health. Scbantox, Pa., Jan. 5. Mr. Powderly is not yet quite out of danger. Dr. Allen told a correspondent yesterday that bis patient had disobeyed all orders and bad applied himself too closely and early to the duties of his office, and had completely exhausted himself at bis desk. The doctor has given emphatic instructions that no onetias permitted to intrude upon Mr. Powderly apresent, and has deeided that the invalid must take a trip to the South, where he will be afforded an opportunity to recuperate. The Glidden Barb-Wire Patents Told. Dcbuquk, I a., Jan. 5. Judge Shiraa to-day renderla a decision in a case of the Washburn & Moen Company, of Cedar Falls. The finding is '"that Alvan Morley invented the same style of barbs covered by the Glidden patents and exhibited a sample of fence at the county fair iu . Delaware county in 1853 The decision nullifies the Glidden barb-wire patents for want of novelty. The evidence is plain, and the case cannot be reversed in the United States Supreme Court Relying on thia decision, all barb-wire manufacturers will cease paying royalty. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

the Daily Chronicle of Happenings of Various Kinds in the Tiyo States. Eun Down by a Horse-Thief Detective Associa tion Kokomo Republicans on Lamar Killed bj a Fall on tb Ice Gleanings. INDIANA. A Number of Arrests made at the Instigation of Horse-Thief Detective Association. frecia) to the Isdianasolis Jouruas. . tjKAWFOKDs yiLtiE, Jan. 5. Last spring a number of young men were arrested and fined for disturbing a religious meeting at what is known'aa the Balhinch school-house, five miles southeast' of this city. In about a week the school-bouse was burned, and the religioua meetings were brought to a close. The Horsethief Detective Company have been looking into the matter, and have caused warrants to be issued for the arrest of Wm. Doyle, Erra Doyle, Harley Swindler, Robert Weia, Wm. and Robert Skagga. Doyle was arrested in thia eity. Word was sent to the prosecutor by the constables that they were afraid to make the other arrests, fearing their property might be burned. Accordingly Marshal Ensminger went out in that aection and gathered them in. The constables were also afraid that they would be prosecuted for false arrest, provided those arrested could prove themselves innocent of the charge. v . . Why They Oppose Lamar. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Kokomo, Jan. 5. At a meeting of the Lincoln League the following resolutions were adopted. a copy of which has been mailed to each Repub lican United States Senator: Whereas, The President has seen fit to propose. for the conbrmalaon of the Senate, the appointment of L. Q. C.

BILL NT12 AND C SAB. History Besurrected and Rejuvenated New Version of tha Ghost Episode. lew lork World. - The play of "Julius Caesar," which has been at the Academy of Music, New York, thia week. has made a great hit Messrs. Booth and Barrett very wisely decided that if it succeeded here it would do well anywhere, If the people of New York like a play and say so it is almost sure to go elsewhere. Judging by this test the play of "Julius Caesar - has a glowing future ahead of it It was written by gentlemen Shakspeare, Bacon and Donnelly, who collaborated together on it Shakspeare did the lines and plot, Bacon furnished the cipher and Donnelly called attention to it through the papers. The scene or "Julius Caesar" is laid in Rome just before the railroad was completed to that place. In order to understand the play itself we must glance briefly at the leading characters which are introduced and upon whom its success largely depends. "Julius" Caesar first attracted attention through the Roman papers by calling the attention of the medical faculty to the now justly celebrated Caesarian operation. Taking advantage of the advertisement thus attained he soon rose to prominence and flourished considerably from 100 to 44 B. C, when a committee of representative citizens and property-owners of Rome called upon him and on behalf of the people begged leave to assassinate him as a mark of esteem. He was stabbed twenty-three times between Pompey's Pillar and 11 o'clock, many of which were mortal- l bis account of tlie assassination is taken from a local paper and is graphic, succinct and lacks the sensational elements so common and so lamentable in our own time. Caesar was the implacable foe of the aristocracy and refused to wear a plug-hat up to the day of his death. Sulla once said, before Caesar made much of a showing, that some day this young man would be the ruin of the aristocracy, and twenty years aftewards, when Caesar sacked, assassinated and holocausted a whole theological seminary for saying "eyether' and "nyether.r the old settlers recalled what Sulla had said. ' Cfiesar continued to eat pie with a knife . and in many other ways to endear himself to the masses until 68 R C, when be ran for Quaestor. Afterward he was jdile, during the term of which office he sough to introduce a number of new games and to extend the limit on some of the older ones. From this to the Senate was but a step." In the Senate he was known as a pood BTMkfir. but ambitious, and liable to turn up during a close vote when his enemies thought he was at home doing his chores. This made him at times odius to those who opposed him, and when he defended Cataline and offered to So on his bond. Caesar came near being eonemned to death himself. In 62 B. C, he went to Spain as PropraBtor, intending to write a book about the Spanish people and their customs as soon as he got back, but he was so busy on his return that he did not have time to do so. Csasar was a powerful man with the people, and while in the Senate worked hard for his constituents, while other Senators were havitig their photographs taken. He went into the army when the war broke out, and after killing a great many people against whom he certainly could not have had anything personal, he returned, headed by the liome Silver Cornes Band and leading a procession over two miles in length. It was at this time he was tendered a crown just as he was passing the City Hall, but thrice he refused it After each refusal the people applauded and encored him till he had to refuse it again. It is at about this time the. play opens. Caesar has just arrived on a speckled courser and dismounted outside the town. He comes in at the head of the procession with the understanding that the crown is to be offered him just as he crosses over to the court-house. - Here Camus and Brutus meet, and Cassius tries to make a mugwump of Brutus, so that they can organize a new movement Mr, Ed-

Th Charln A. Vnirelr Co.. TtaIto..Md. win Booth takes the character of Brutus and Mr. Lawrence Barrett that of Cassius. I would not want to take the character of Cassius myself, even if I had run short of character and needed some very much indeed, but Mr. Barrett takes it and does it first rate. Mr. Booth also plays Brutus so that old settlers here say it seems almost like having Brutus here among us again. . Brutus was a Roman Republican with strong tariff tendencies. He waa a good extemporaneous after-dinner speaker and a warm personal friend of Capsar, though differing withnim politically. In assassinating Ciesar, Brutus used to say afterward he did not feel the slightest personal animosity, but did it entirely for the good of the party. That is one thing I like about politics you can cut out a man's vitals and hang them on the Christmas tree and drag the fair name of hia wife or mother around through the sewers for six weeks before election, and so long as it is done for the good of the party it is all right. So when Brutus is authorized by the caucus to assassinate Caesar he feels- that, like being President of the United States, it is a disagreeable job; but if the good of the party seems to really demand it he will do it, though he wishes it distinctly understood that personally he hasn't got a thing against Csesar. In act four Brutus sits up late reading a story by E. P. Roe, and just as he is in the most exciting part of it the ghost of the assassinated Caesar appears and states that it will meet him with hard gloves at PhilippL Brutus looks bored and says he is not in condition, but the , ghost leaves it that way and Brutus looks still more bored rill the ghost goes out through a , white-oak door without opening it. At Philippi, Brutus sees that there is no hope of police interference, and so before time is : , called he inserts his sword into his being and dies while the polite American audience puts on its overcoat and goes out, looking over its shoulder to see that Brutus does not take advantage of this moment, while the people are going away, to resuscitate himself. The play is thoroughly enjoyable all the way through, especially Caesar's funeraL The idea ; of introducing a funeral and engaging Mark Antony to deliver the eulogy, with the understanding that he was to have his traveling expenses paid and the privilege of selling the sermon to a syndicate, shows genius on the part of the joint authors. All the way through tho play is good, but sad. There is no divertisement or tank in it, but the funeral more than makea up for that. Where Portia begs Brutus, before the assasination, to tell her all and let her in on the ground floor, and asks what the matter is. and he claims that it is malaria, and she still insists and asks: "Dwell I but in the suburbs of your good pleasure?" and he states, "You are my true and honorable wife, as dear to me as are the ruddy drops that visit my sad heart," I. forgot myself and wept my new plug hat two-thirds full. It is as good as anything there is in Josh Whitcomb's play. Booth and Barrett have the makings of good actors in them, and I often think that if Mr. Booth would chirk up a little more, especially,' at the assassination, he would win every heart. x met Dotn 01 tnese gentlemen in Wyoming , some years ago. We met by accident. Th s-f were going to California and I was coming back. By some oversight we had both selected tha same track, and so we were thrown together. I do not know whether they will recall my face or not. I was riding on the sleeper truck at the time of the accident I always take a sleeper and always did. I rode on the truck because I didn't want to ride inside the car and have to associate with a wealthy porter who looked down upon me. I am the man who was found down the creek the next day gathering, wild ferns and murmuring, "Where am 11" The play of "Julius Caesar" is one which brings out the meanness and magnetism of Cassius, and emphasizes the mistaken patriotism of Brutus. It is full of pathos, duplicity, assassination, treachery, erroneous loyalty, suicide, hypocrisy and all the intrigue, jealousy, cowardice and hellishness which' characterized the politics of fifty years before Christ, but which now, thanks to the enlightenment and refinement which twenty centuries have brought, are known no more forever. Let us not forget as we enter upon the year 1888, that it is a presidential year, and that all acrimony will be buried under the dew and the daisies, and that, no matter how high party spirit may run, there will be no personal enmity. Bii.Ij Nyk. It Wasn't an Earthquake. Sen Francisco Wasp. A lady lately arrived from the Eastern States was walking up California street on Monday last, and stopped on the sidewalk to speak to a gentleman friend. Suddenly she turned deadly pale and clutched her friend by the arms with . the hold of a drowning man. "Save me! save me!'1 she cried. Her friend, who is an old Californian, was so t aken aback that for a second he did not know " what to say. In the meantime the Eastern lady, still clinging to him, but somewhat reassured at his coolness, hysterically cried: "It's an earthquake, isn't it!" The Californian then explained that the oscillations were to be accounted for by the fact that they were just then standing on a weighing machine, which formed part of the sidewalk. The lady blushingly asked him not to tell a soul about it; bnt it was too good a joke to be hidden under a bushel.
