Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, appeared to be in a pleasant frame of mind this afternoon, and cordially greeted a Leader reporter who dropped into his office at the Blackstone Blosk. Mr. Arthur glanced over a dispatch shown him by the reporter, announcing that the boycott in Chicago had been raised, and that the railroad employes had returned to their work en all roads bnt the C, B. & Q. "I received a teleeram from Mr. Hose this morning," said the ehief engineer, "stating that all was quiet in Chicago and that I eould safety remain at home for the present." "Will you eive your opinion of the situation?" 'Not for a day or two, until I learn how matters are progressing under the new turn of affairs." "Chief Sargent, of the Firemens' Brotherhood, says that you favored the raising, of the boycott" "That is true. If the C, B. & Q. want to run the road at a loss, as I estimate it. of from 60. 000 to $38,000 per day. that is their own business. Msnaeer Stone is a salaried official, and It only remains to see how lone the stockholders Will retain him in office and tolerate his eondnct of affairs. The Brotherhood made a proposition to Manager Stone that was fair and reasonable, and one that had been accepted by the comoetitors of the 'Q. Manager stone is paying engineers fifty jceats a day moie than the Brother J hood asked. Then he has employed Pinkerton detectives to guard them going to and from their work like so many convicts. I eannot see how intelligent, capable engineers such as the 'Q' officials claim to have secured would submit to being treated in this way." "You hope, then, to accomplish better results by allowing free transportation - than by the boycott?" . "Yes. , Chicago is a peculiar city in some respects. - Ther are many idlers there. This probably is the cause of the radical stand taken by some of the engineers at the beginning of the atrike. I think they have begun to feel that the wisest and best course is not to interfere in any way with the Burlington's operations, but to let things take their course. The so-called capable engineers will thus be given an opportunity to prove their ability." "Do you think there would have been any trouble had Manager .Potter remained with the C, B. & Q ?" I know that there would not Two years ago an amicable arrangement, satisfactory to both the company and the Brotherhood, was made with Mr. Potter." ' y Mr. Arthur is now settlaii in his home on Euclid avenue. - Was There a Compact Formed? Chicago, pril 4 The Chicago Times will t ay to-morrow, concerning the settlement of the boycott against "Q freight: "Last Thursday a committee of the engineers and firemen left for Seranton to have a confer eoce with General Blaster Workman Powderly, f the Knights of Labor. They were headed by Alexander Havener, of San Francisco, ne of the non-commissioned and non-salaried officers of the Brotherhood, whose principal mission in Chicago was to bring about this very thing. The conference was suggested by the fact that there are among the engineers, firemen and switchmen employed

ay ice v, io iase me places or me strisers, about three hundred men who belong to the Knights of Labor. The strikers desired to have these men quit There are also many Knights of labor among the train and section hands who are subject to the orders of the officers of the order, and can be called out so as to harass the company. The committee was charged with making the following proposition to Mr. Powderly: "All the Knights of Labor who are working as engineers, firemen or switchmen on tbe 'Q.' were to be called out to assist the strikers. Later on the train and section hands were to strike as far as tbey were Knights of Labor. If the strike should extend to any other road, the Koightsof Labor were to go out on all such road 8, as well, in support of the engineers, firemen and switchmen. The strikirs at that time were fully determined to maintain and enforce the boycott on 'Q.' cars, and Were prepared tor a general Btrike. Mr. Powderly was a patient listener, and when the committee had finished its wordy onwould precipitate a general strike. The public, be said, are the only sufferers in such instances, and besides they were very unsatisfactory to the workingmso, and in fact all concerned. A conclusion was finally reached whereby the general boycott against other roads handling Q'' freight should be raised and the light continued ae&inst the Burlington, road. With such an understanding, Mr. Powderly asreed to call out all Knights of Labor among tae "Q" employes. What Railroad Officials Say. Chicago, April 4. General Manager E. T. Jeffery, of the Illinois Central, said to a reporter this morning: . "As a workingman of thirty-five years' experience and as the manager of a great railroad, I promised the men that in the event of the failore of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy strike none of the men would be black-listed by my company. I told them that my influence would be used with the managers of other roads towards the same result Because a man bad made a mistake in one instance was no cause wby he should be black-listed. I am opposed to black-listing, bitterly opposed to it. 1 outlined the hardship which a boycott would impose upon the lumbermeu many of whom would be ruined men who were not responsible, in any way. for the conditions which had brough on the strike. The men showed preciation, and greeted me had finished my talk. the kindest apwarmly when I I left the hall and drove to the office of General Manager McCrea, of the Pennsylvania lines. He promised to restore his men to their former positions. General Superintendent Clark telegraphed the situation to General Manager Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, and I have received a telegram from Mr. Miller stating that in behalf of the interests of all concerned he is willing fltnrt er tn An nil in hla rnwa. j j,nit ViA Btino. la. The outcome is an evidence of the strong good sense of the workingmen. They are sometimes hasty, but in the end conservative principles will prevail. It is not to be expected that S workingman should be gifted with the faculty o calculating the result of a certain movement Tbey calculated that they could injure the Burlineton road ty depriving themselves of work. This was wrone, of course, and they now realize It. The situation was an extremely critical one, and the results that might have happened in a lew days can never be estimated. The whole tommunitjr was filled with the fear and dread of loms impending evil. The happy termination is a source or nearty rejoicing. General Passenger Aeent Morton, of the Burlington, when informed of the result of the meeting, said: "I am very glad, indeed, to loam that this strike is declared off. even on the other roads, and do not understand why it does sot include our road. We have ail the engineers and firemen we want, and more than enough switchmen to fill the plaees of all the men who struck. We are perfectly capable of operating our road and attending to our business without any assistance whatever from the men who left our employ, and without the boycott and lawleds interference with our men can oon demonstrate the fact to the public. We lan now go right on and do our usual business If the strikers on our line will only let us alone." MitWAVKKE, April 4. -General Manager Miller, of the St. Paul road, said this morning that all the men who quit the employ of the company of their own accord, have returned to work. "Theionly employes who are out." he laid, "are those thrown out by my order of Monday. I shall iseue an order this morning canceling the order of Monday. To-ua?s order s-ill go into effect on Monday next" The order in question was that reducing the force of the road one-third. It threw out of employment 1,000 persons. By the new order the departments will be reorganized on Monday next with, full forces. Mr. Miller said that considerable freight had accumulated, and that extra trains will b put on to clear Up the accumulation. "We have been running trains all the time," he laid, "enough to accommodate our business." Kesuiutikg Operation. Chicago. April 4. When the appointed time jama this morning for the cessation of the strike an the St Paul, all hands, firemen, engineers and switchmen presented themselves for duty, and the usual course of things, as fares the Milwaukee & St Paul company is concerned, was returned at once. At the Ft. Wayne yards there was a bitch, and the strike on that road continues. The engineers aci firemen were ready to carry out the

understanding, but the switchmen were obdurate. At 9 a. sr., however, everythirg was satisfactorily arranged and h great Burlington boycott was apparently everywhere at an end. The reason for the uelay vi that they wished to get a promise from' the officials of the road that none of their number should be left oat in the cold. This was agreed to and. trains commenced moving. The Lake Shore delivered a large train of freight to the Burlington this morning at Sixteenth street The "Q" yard officials were busily engaged in making up trains to send to other roads,' and the yards were very lively. The train to be sent to -;he St Paul was first made up. Others designed for, the Chicago & Atlantic, Michigan Central. Illinois Central and Lake Shore were also basing prepared. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway sent a train ot cars to the Burlington this morning for the first time since the strike on the "Q" began. This indicates that the boycott has been com-' pletely raised by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and that the Rook Island officials no longer fear any complications with their men because of exchanging business with the Burlington. ' Rushing the "Q" with Business. Chicago, April 4. The huge boycott against the Burlington road was fully lifted to-day, and ' the Burlington yards were jammed with freight from other roads, the move of the Rock Island in sending in freight seeming to have become epidemic. Ten minutes after the receipt of the Rock Island train a Baltimore & Ohio train steamed in, and following this came another lot of cars from the Lake Shorn. All the roads having freight communication with the Burlington continued sending in freight to the "Q yards steadily. The Rock Island, the St Paul, the Panhandle, the Lake Shore, the Northwestern, the Chicago & Atlantic, the Illinois Central, the Michigan Central and other lines were actively eneaged in moving cars to the "Q." There seemed to be no end to the freight that has been held in check by the boycott on Q" interchange of cars. -It is broadly stated the strikers calculated ' that, in lifting: the boycott, all the roads that

had for weeks suspended relations with the "4 ' would at once proceed to unload on that company all the cars that had accumulated, and that the effect would be to swamp the 4Q" people with freight The ease they believed, was that of all the roads fully equipped against one poorly equipped. It was thought that in the natural order of things the Burlington would receive more freight daily from the other roads than it could: give to them, and that it would be but a short time before it would be obstructed with freight consigned to o:her lines. Having achieved this the Burlingtcn would be required, under the law, to furnish facilities for the proper handling of freight. This might grow into a lever to move the men back into their old positions on the "Q. " It was a move worth making, and the men made it Up to to-night the judgment of those ordering it seems to have been good. A great deal more freight has been received by the "Q" people to-day than has been sent out by them. Whether tbey will be able to handle it all without difficulty and transact their own business as well with their present force remains to be seen. GENERAL STRIKE NEWS. The Suit of the Burlington Road Against the Rock Island. Chicago, April 4. The managers of the Rock Island road maintiained in court, this morning, before Judge Gresham, that notwithstanding the denials of the Burlington officials, the Rock Island's charges were true; that the Burlington has been trying by rate wars and strikes to force the formation of a great Western railway trust. The Rock Island entered a motion that the whole matter be referred to a master, before whom testimony should be taken to establish the truth of the charges. Voluntary affidavits would not be obtainable from some of the witnesses, the Rock Island asserted, in its papers accompanying the motion, and the object of a reference of the case to a master is to put the witnesses upon the rack of an examination and cross-examination. Leave was asked from the court to get affidavits from some of the proposed witnesses who have suddenly left the immediate jurisdiction of the court Among those are Charles E. Perkins, president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; P. M. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and J. M. Widgley, chairman of the Southwestera Railway Association. The Rock Island's rejoinder, in conclusion, declares that yesterday's affidavit of Henry B. Stone, the general manager of the Burlington, "displays a temper and recklessness in assertion and denial which renders it eminently proper that he be subjected to a cross-examination under circumstances which will compel him to frame his own answers, instead of having them prepared for him by counsel, and in which he will have an opportunity to explain how he can deny, without the qualification even of information or belief, the averment that the Burlingtcn communicated to one or more managers of railways its purpose to prosecute a rate war until the officers of the Western railways should consent to abdicate the powers placed in their hands by their stockholders to an unlawful trust, when such communications were made by other officers of the Burlington company and not in the presence of the said Henry B. Stone. And the Rock Island says further that it can by the cross-examination of the said Henry B. Stone, and by the testimony of the other witnesses whom it proposes to examine, sustain each and every allegation the Rock Island has made and establish the falsehood of every contrary allegation made la the affidavit of the said Henry B. Stone. The reiteration of the Rock Island's charges and the motion for reference to a master caused a hot interchange of denunciation between the attorneys for the two corporations. Wirt Dexter, for the Burlington, ' warmly declared that the Rock Island officials were attempting a boycott againt the Burlington, and that a boycott was a criminal, indictable offense in Illinois. Judge Gresbam interposed at this point with an adjournment until afternoon. When court reconvened arguments were resumed by counsel in the case. All were dry legal arguments, and about the only spicy remark was the one made by one of the Rock Island's attorneys, who suggested that if an injunction issue it be of the double-barreled variety one to fit the Burliagton as well as the Rock Island. Judge Gresbam said tbat even if the trust allegations made by the Rock Island were true, it did not relieve that road from ita duty as a comm'on carrier. Again, he did not think the Rock Island had refused to do its duty. The Burlington did not need protection from this, its strongest competitor, and as there was no danger of injury according to the "Q" road, no injunction would be issued just now. Future developments. Judge Gresham thought, might alter this order. They Hadn't Heard the Mews. Milwaukee, April 4. Seme delay to trains was occasioned at the Florida-street crossing of the Chicago & Northwestern road, this morning, because a freight train stood across the street The reason was that some Burlington cars had been made up on the train, and the engineer refused to pull out till they were eliminated and side-tracked. This was done and the train went on its way. Two car-loads f sheep came by United States express over the Lake Shore road yesterday afternoon. It wan reported that they had been offered for shipment as freight but as they were consigned to a point on the "Q"' road, the engineer would not haul them. This point was evaded by sending the mutton by express. Well Fed and Sleek. Acbtjbn, N. Y., April 4. The swindled depositors in the Marine Bank of New York, who have taken some satisfaction in the fact that James D. Fish, the convict ex-President of that institution, is undergoing the same kind ot punishment receiveu by an ordinary criminal, will be glad to learn that the old man is setting along comfortably and enjoying, an excellent bill of fare under Auburn prison roof. The story recently published saying that be is becoming a mental and physics! wreck was denied to-day by as officer of the prison to a correspondent. Fish is in greater daneer of suffering from the gout than any other difficulty. He is visited frequently by bis daughter, who has long interviews with him in the chaplain's office. Though debarred from the privilege of mingling with free people, he nevertheless finds life in Auburn prison not so bad as many persons imagine. He is sprightly, well fed and sleek. Collapse of m Building. St. Lotns, SI a, April 4. The three-story double store building, No. 19 and 21 South Main street, occupied, respectively, by F. A. Kauffman as a vinegar factory, and Boilman & O'Hara as a wholesale liquor store, eomoletely collapsed about 9 o'clock to-night, and tumbled into a mass of ruins, burying and practically destroying all its contents., Boilman & O'Hara had some four hundred barrels of whisky and other liquors in their house, and Kauffman had four hundred barrels of sugar and a large amount of vineear and other property in stock. The overweighting of the u-sper story of the Kauffman building with sugar caused the eollapse. The loss is estimated at $10,000; the building $10,000. Kanffman $10,000, and Boilman & O'Hara 20,000.

Boulanger Has m Deep .Laid Plan to Settle All Matters Affecting the Conntry. Loudon, April 4. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette had an interview with General Boulanger at the hotel Louvre, in Paris, last evening. There was a long string of visitors in the corridor waiting for an audience with the General. The interviewer found General Boulanger to be a slightly built, full-bodied man of medium height, with irongray hair, which is turning silvery. He has a kindly, honest face of the bourgeois type. His countenance shows ho evidence of keenness or aeuteness. On the contrary, it has a weary, sleepy and overbur dened appearanee. In regard to his candidacy for the Chamber of Deputies for the department of the Nord and his reasons for not going there to conduct his own canvass, be said that he was not like an ordinary candidate; he did not appeal - to the electors on pietty departmental questions, but as the representative of a great principle, therefore his presence in the department was not needed, victory being certain. The principle he represented, he said, was the revision of the Constitution. The Chamber of Deputies had been stricken with impotence, and no longer repreJy3ented the people. In the dissolution of the vnamDer anu ine revision oi w vuubuiuuuu was the only remeay for the eviL Being asked to explain the basis of his plan of revision, he said: "Tbat is my secret, which I shall keep to myself. That is my policy.'' He refused to explain bis plans, because he feared they would be criticised and thwarted before there was a chance to put them into execution. He said he would wait until the time was ripe and then reveal them. He declared decisively that no Ministry formed now could last long. Three months would be the utmost limit of its life. In the meantime he intended to reserve his plans and wait. The new Cabinet consists of one member of the Extreme Left, five members of the Radical Left and four moderates. The committee of the Chamber of Deputies to which was referred the proposal of the Panama Canal Company to issue a lottery loan, are equally divided for and against the loan, and therefore will report to the Chamber that they are unable to arrive at a decision. General Warnet, commander of the Thirtyfourth Division of the army, will probably be appointed chief of the general staff of the War Office. It is stated tbat the Opportunists in the Chamber of Deputies are preparing for an immediate interpellation of the government in regard to Its general policy. Only the Radical journals approve Premier Fioquet's declation of the policy of the Ministry. The Journal des Debats and Republique Francaise assert that the statement encourages demagogy. ,The Figaro hopes for an early alliance of the party of the Right and the Opportunists. President of the Chamber Chosen. Pakis, April 4. M. Miline, member of the Chamber of Deputies from the Vosges, was today elected president of the Chamber. He received 168 votes. M. Ciemenceau received the same number of votes, hut M. Miline was declared elected, owing to the fact that he had served a longer time in the Chamber. M. Miline, in accepting his election to the presidency, requested the support of tfce Deputies wno had given their votes to M. Ciemenceau in order that he might overcome existing difficulties. If the Chamber would afford to the country the spectacle of impartial discussion, France would return to a regime which would insure tranquillity at home and peace abroad. The Senate passed a resolution tbat, in view of the situation, a too lenethy proroguing of tha Chamber would be attended with grea Inconqenience. The Chamber will reassemble on May 19, after the session of the Councils general Mr. Miline's election is due to the movement of the Opportunists to exclude M. Ciemenceau, M. Brisson having lost his chance by the decision of the Royalists, whom he had defended, to support M. Ciemenceau. M. Ciemenceau accepted his defeat with good grace. He laughingly blamed his grandfather, who, he said, prevented the marriaee of his parents until they had been engaged four years. Never aeain weuld he pray at the grave of an ancestor who had done him such, an illturn. However, his defeat would give him a better chance to support M. Flouquet So far, he said, "it has been my destiny to attack Ministries. You will now see how I can fight for one." . j. , . The New Cabinet Meets with Little Favor. London, April 4. With the single exception of La Justice, every newspaper in Paris has joined in the attack npon the Ministry, led by La Republique and the Debate. The appointment of M. Goblet to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is especially condemned; not that the gentleman leans toward measures of revenge, but because of his well-known inability to control bis temper. The consensus of newspaper opinion is that he is mote dangerous than any other member of the Cabinet, for while the blunders of the others can only cause inconvenience and annoyance at borne, the unconciliatory disposition of M. Goblet will make the settlement of passing events with foreign countries extremely difficult, and naturally still further impair the diplomatic position of France abroad. The Schnaebele affair in the hands of M. Goblet, it is argued, would have placed France in great danger, if it would not have actually involved her in war. The impression generally obtains that the lease of life given to the Cabinet by Gen. Boulanger three months is a longer period of existence than it deserves, and much longer than it ia likely to have. - GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Emperor Frederick Will Endeavor to Continue the Work of His Faiher. Berlin, April 4 The Reichsanzeiger publishes a rescript from Emperor Frederick, addressed to Prince Bismarck, in which the Emperor says: "The death of Emperor William was the occasion of a manifestation of feeling of overpowering character, scarcely ever witnessed before. In the death of their glorious Emperor the whole German people mourn the loss of a gentle and upright ruler, a wise and powerful disposer of their destinies, the re-founder of their unity. Nations in the most distant parts of the globe have expressed sympathy on the death of a Prince whom tbey recognized as a sure upholder of peace. This universal manifestation of sympathy encourages me to enter with confidence upon the discharge of the difficult tasks of my princely calling, trusting to follow my father's example and to labor with my entire strength for the welfare of the German people." - Sir. Chamberlain Addresses a Peace Meeting:. London, April 4. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain made a speech to-night at a meeting of the Peace Arbitration Union. He said that under the growth of public opinion war was becoming more and more unpopular. As an illustration of this change of feeling, he instanced the fisheries treaty. The arrangement, he said, was founded, not upon triumphs, or sacrifices, but upon reasonable mutual concessions. The only merit he personally could claim, the only qualification he had for being intrusted with the commission, was the strong feeling of friendship be had always entertained for America. If the result of the negotiations were submitted to the people themselves it would be accepted by a vast majority. At all events they had secured a formal record of the opinions of the three governments concerned, and had obtained disinterested representations which tended toward a final settlement of the question. The Grand Lodge of Templars. London, April 4. The Grand Lodge of Templars has adopted the report of the representatives who attended the May session, at Saratoga, at which a reunion of both sections f the Supreme Court was effected. Brother Woods, grand councilor, moved a resolution regretting tbat exceptional legislation had boen placed on the highest statute book of the order providios; a separation of the sexes and pledging thelodjrebv ail legitimate means to seek to repeal sueh legislation. Brother Walshaw moved an amendment declaring that while the lodge again

recorded its unqualified assent to the principle of equal riehts and privilege as a fundamental principle, the Saratoga conference having settled the matter to the satisfaction of the colored representatives, it was advisable not to reopen tbe question. The resolution was rejected, and the amendment was carried by a vote of 137 to 27. ., ; John Slorley on the Stamp. London, April 4 John Morley spoke at Newcastle this evening. He said that the country was engaged in a process of transformation, the full scope and purpose of which few could yet pretend to realize. He lengthily criticised the defects and deficiencies of the local government bill and the budget. Mr. Goscben's new taxes, he said, were fidgeting. The petty tax on champagne would tend to offend France for little profit Referring to Ireland he said that Balfourism might be described in a nutshell as a deliberate and arrogant disregard of every opinion and wish of Ireland. He asked if the consciences of his dissident friends could square that with Liberal and popular principles. "If not," he concluded, "let them assist tbe majority of the party in doing justice to Ireland."

The Bimetallic Conference. London. April 4. The bimetallio conference met at Manchester, to-day, with Mr. Henry H. Gibbs, formerly governor and at present a director of the Bank of England, in the chair. - Mr. Gibbs, in his speech on assuming the presidency of the conference, asserted that tha foremost objects sought by the conference were an agreement between France, Germany and the United States to accept the principle of the restoration of par gold and silver currency, the opening of the British mint to this species of circulating medium, and the fixing of uniform rates. Papers were read by Mr. Samuel Smith, member of Parliament for Flintshire, Professor Nicholson and others. Cable Notes. Emperor Frederick has invited Angeli to Charlottenburg to paint his portrait The Princess of Waldeck-Pyrmont has gone to Bentheim to attend her son, who is seriously ill with scarlet fever and kidney disease. It is learned that a cordon of Turkish soldiers has been placed on the Roumanian frontier, owing to the outbreak of contagion around Bourgas. The Chinese government has issued an order forbidding steamers to trade at Chun Klung. The edict has caused great excitement at Manchester. Baron Bleichroder, with the Rothschilds, has concluded a new conversion loan for the Egyptian government to the amount 2,500,000, taking the whole issue at 93, with interest at 4 per cent The North German Gazette refers to the new French Cabinet with contempt, and says that it will play Boulanger's game whether it Uses it or not The German and Austrian press generally predict for the Cabinet a short existence. Dr. Morris Wolfenden, who in conjunction with Dr. Mackenzie attended Emperor Frederick when he was in England last year, has left England for Charlottenburg to co-operate with Dr. Mackenzie in attending upon the Emperor. Mr. Henry Irving's company, which left New York on the steamer City of Richmond, March 27, reached the Euston station, London, . on Tuesday, having come over the London & Northwestern railroad from Liverpool in four hours and ten minutes. Tbe Berlin Bcersea Courier reports that much dissatisfaction is expressed on the Bcsrse over the terms in which the Crown Prince toasted Prince Bismarck at the letter's birthday banquet. A eimitar feeling is remarked in other quarters. In Vienna the speech is considered as showing want of respect for Emperor Frederick. . Advices from Massowah say that before the retreat of the Abyssinians was begun King John liberated the Moslem prisoners belonging to tribes around Ailet and Gumhod. A large number of women and children have arrived in the Italian camp in a pitiable state. The Abyssinians have retreated for twenty-eight hours without stopping. Mr. W. Reed Lewis, the American consul at Tangier, has received a reply from the Moorish government declining to accede to the demands of the United States with reference to the persons under consular protection imorisoned at Rabat. Fears are entertained at Tangier that the American government will adopt rigorous measures against Morocco. LABOR SEWS. Attempt to Effect a Uniform Scale of Wages for Tube-Workers. " Pittsburg, April 4 A contention of tubeworkers to formulate a uniform scale of wages for all tube-works began here to-day, and will be in session several days. At present the tubeworks in this section are closed down on account of the difference in wages in favor of the Eastern manufacturers, but it is thought that if a fair scale ia arranged by the workmen it will be accepted by the manufacturers. A general resumption of work would then tollow, which would give employment to over 5,000 men now idle. To-day's session was taken up with routine business. Thirty-six delegates are in attendance. - ' Strike of Rollingr-Mill and Furnace Men. Cleveland, April 4. Last week the Cleveland Rolling-mill Company posted notices in the Emma, Central and Carter-street blastfurnaces, to the effect tbat on April 1 wages would be reduced 10 per cent This step was alleged to have been taken because the owners of Mahoning valley fnrnaces were to make the same reduction in the wages of their employes. The employes at the Emma blast furnace were determined not to accept the reduction and struck on Monday after receiving their pay. Tuesday was pay-day at the Central furnace on Broadway. When the men received their wages they were discharged, so the officers of the company say, but the men assert that they struck. They refused to work at the reduced rate. Their pay ranged from $1.25 to $1.60 per day. This afternoon about sixty of the strikers visited the Central furnace and found about a dozen machinists, blacksmiths and other mechanics at work repairing machinery, etc. From there the strikers went to the Carter-street furnace. About 125 men were at work, and in less than fifteen minutes they were persuaded to leave their places. Four policemen were sent to the furnace, but no violence was done. Reading: Iron-Works Resume Operations. Reading, Pa., April 4 The managers of the Reading iron-works have effected a settlement with their employes, by which the latter agree to accept 7J per cent, reduction in wages, and to-day orders were issued for the resumption of work at all of the company's idle mill a Work will thus be given men who have been idle several months. The mills were shut down because of the dullness of trade, the management agreeing to resume if the men would accept 15 per cent reduction, but a compromise, as above, was effected. The Keystone rollingmill, whose production is mostly controlled by the Reading iron-works, resumed operations today with 200 hands. r Andrew Carnegie Closes Up His Works.

No Comfort for Governor Or ay in the Union City Election. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Union City, April 4 It is learned tbat Governor Gray was highly elated when he received a dispatch yesterday morning informing him tbat his old home had given a Democratic majority at the election on Monday. Some men are easily "pleased with a bauble and tickled with a straw," and that, is certain ly what is the matter with Isaac. It is true tbat his vicepresidential boom was worfced for ail it was worth, and every effert was made by the Democrats to rally votes. The net result in this (Wayne) township is a gain of five votes for the Democrats, while the Republicans gain fortyfive, leaving a net Republican gain of forty votes. Regarding the election of trustee, there was some dissatisfaction with the Republican nominee, both on account of bis location and the method of bis nomination, while A. B. Schuyler, the Democratic nominee, if a Democrat at all. like "Old Zach's" whicgery, his Democracy is not of an ultra kind. Ilia location and personal popularity gave him a majority of the votes. If it had been thought necessary his vote could have been increased, without any thought of indorsing the Democratic party. In the adjoining township of Jackson, where, during the war some of the Democrats went to Canada and others "bush whacked" provost marshals, the Democratic nominee was elected by 33 majority, while for justice of the peace it was still ies. This ia less than one-fourth of what the Democratic majority has heretofore been. On the Ohio side of town the election on Monday was for mayor and all municipal officers. The place has always been strongly Democratic, and in order to ror.ke victory still more sure a "Cleveland and Gray' club has been organized, and the "power of Isaac's name" was invoked as a warery to rally the nnterrifled. Tha result was tbe election of the entire Republican ticket, except one councilman, and the probability now is that they will lose him. This is the first time their party has been beaten in that locality since old "Mad Anthony" defeated the "unwashed" near here a long time ago. Bash County Republicans Feel Good.

Everything on this beautiful spot, which ia larger than Central Park, has been brought to the highest state-of cultivation, and the place is undoubtedly not only one of the largest, but one of the prettiest country seats in the United States. The house itself was a rambling building, between 200 and 300 feet in length, and ranging from one and a half to three stories in height. The new part was 100 feet long, and constructed of Palisades blues tone. The art gallery, in which the fire began, was a lofty room,. built of the same material. A large portion of the rest of the bouse was of Jersey brownstone, this part including the original Jersey farm-house which Mr. Phelps bought, and to which he made additions. .
