TEE STRIKE WILL SOON END

Dock Companies Have Conceded the Demands for Sixpence Wages Per Hour, But Insist that the Advance Shall Not Begin Until Jannarj 1, and These Terms the Labor Leaders Refuse to Accept. The Great Conflagration in Antwerp Still Burning, but Partly Under Control. Killed Estimated at lGO-German Hostility Toward Russia Complications of Irish Politics Papal Interests and the Alliance. TOE COMPANIES GIVE IS, They Concede All but the Date of Making: the Advance Strikers Refuse to Accept. Special to tha Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept. 7. As has been generally expected for several days past, the strike has been a complete triumph fur tho striking dock laborers, the men winning every point contended for except the immediate payment of the increased 6cale of wages six pence an hour for ordinary work and eight pence an hour for overtime. The postponement of the adoption of the new rates was somewhat disappointing to tho men. The directors of the dock companies, in their letter accepting the proposals for a settlement of the strike presented to them by Lord Lubbock. Cardinal MaDning and the bishop of London, back down completely behind a bulwark of miserably conceived subterfuges and evasious. The directors profess to havo been inlluenced in their action entirely by the persuasions of the eminent gentlemen comprising the. parliamentary visiting committee which waited upon them, and represent that they defer to the Lord Mayor's great influence and his expressed fears that a prolongation of tho strike would result in a serious break of the public peace: otherwise they might have acted dirterently. This is all very well as far as it goes, but as it is now pretty well known that the directors have for the last three days been casting about for some means of escaping from their dilemma short of abject surrender, nobody is deceived by the patronizing tone of their note. These obstinate gentlemen, however, cannot refrain from giving the Lord Mayor and his colleagues a dig under the ribs in taking occasion to bemoan the practice of outside meddling between employers and employes, which they cannot but regard as a dangerous departure, and they are constrained to predict far-reaching consequences in the future from such interference. Tho directors insist that tho rates of wages to be paid are to continue as at present, the advanced rate not to go into effect until Jan. 1. It is made a condition of tho arrangement that all the strikers shall resume work on Monday. Messrs. Burns and Tillot signified their acceptance of the companies' terms, but, after consulting with the strike committee, announced that they could not guarantee that the men would resume work on Monday. They explained that before giving a tinal reply they would have to consult with the sectional committees of the strikers. There is no roason to doubt, however, that they will bo accepted. To-morrow's nia8-i jting in Hydo Park, which, like last Sunday's meeting, was called as a meeting of protest and detiance, will be turned into a meeting of jubilation. The happy results achieved are almost entirely duo to the efforts of John Burns, whom the newspapers are calling a modern Masaniello. The strike committee at a late hour issued a manifesto stating that the strikers will not accept the dock companies' terms, namely, an increase of wages from Jan. 1, 1800, on condition that the men return to work on Monday next. The strikers insist upon an advance at once, and it is thought they will get it. ANTWERP'S FIRE STILL RAGEVO, Later Estimates Happily Cut Down the Number of Killed and Injured. Antwerp, Sept. 7. The fire is still raging, all efforts of the fireman, assisted by the military and populace, to quell it having so far proved unavailing. At noon to-day it was estimated that the number of deaths by tho disaster will not exceed 1C0. Two hundred and fifty persons were seriously and S00 slightly injured. Tho firemen and troops were worked through the entire night on hourly shifts. Many of them succumbed to the heat and smoke, and had to bo conveyed to hospitals, insensible, on stretchers. All tho workers had blackened faces and bore evidences of the sickening effects of the dense 6moke which clogged their efforts. Work to-day was entirely confined to keeping the fire from spreading beyond the shed s and factories within the dry -dock. The wind still continued favorable. Six million litres of petroleum are in flames, and tho oil, it is expected, will continue to burn at least until Monday. At the moment of the explosion many of tho workmen jumped into the Scheldt, in their fright, and wero drowned. A nnmber of sailors and customs officers were killed on board ships by the living bullets, and ships were riddled by the missiles. It is estimated that 2;000 tons of .cartridges exploded. The noise was heard thirty miles away. The smoke which tilled tho air was greater in volume than that of a great attle. Human heads and other parts of bodies were found half a mile away from the scene of the disaster. One hundred and thirty whole corpses lie in the morgues, and charred heaps of luiman remains represent an unknown number of dead. Tho first officer of the Ked Star line steamer Zealand was terribly wounded on board his ship. Tho populace watched tho flames all night. The noise of the exploding barrels of oil and the falling of the ruins exactly resembled the sounds of a battle. Thoso who have been deprived of their homes by the fire are encamped upon the river banks Tho water-works, which cost 80,000, are three parts destroyed. The Minister of the Interior has visited the scene of the explosion. The King and Queen have telegraphed, expressing sym pathy with the snnercrs. Subscriptions Lav been opened for tho relief of those rendered destitute by the disaster. HOSTILITY AGAINST RUSSIA. Passing Events Conspire In Pointing to an Outbreak with Germany. r Copyright, 1&89, by the New York Associated Press. 1 Beklix, Sept. 7. The new Sixteenth Army Corps is intended to be stationed on the Russian frontier. The temper of the Foreign Office toward Russia is growing worse. The rumor of tho visit of tho Czarewitch to Paris is not credited unless he goes in the strictest incognito. Tho Czar's treatment of Emperor William continues to embitter the relations between the two countries. The semi-official press is permitted or instructed to speak with notable frankness and severity. The Hamburg Correspondence, in an undoubtedly inspired article, says: Germany must accept the fact of the permanent hostility of tho Czar. Persistence in tho Russian policy is more dangerous to tho peace of Lurope than French chauvinism. The Chancellor, being convinced of the Czar's lasting enmity, will cease his delicate and cautious treatment of Russia, and henceforth frankly treat St. Petersburg as he treats Parts. The Czarewitch will be tho guest of the Emperor from the 15th to the 22d of September. If the Czar's heir is sent to Paris directly alter parting from Emperor Will-

Jam, it will increase tho tension to tho breaking point Court advices are to the effect that the Czarewitch will return to Jredensborg, and thence proceed to St. Petersburg. IRISH POLITICS.

Ulster Orangemen Strongly Opposed to Lord Salisbury's Present Plans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept. 7. Tho rumor that tho Irish Conservatives havo laid their views before Lord Salisbury on tho question of Irish local government is denied by the members concerned, but there is little doubt that they have had tho question more or less formally under consideration. A meeting of the party was held a few days ago, tho proceedings of which were kept strictly secret, but it was generally regarded at tho timo as having more importance than usually attaches to these gatherings of Ulster members. That the prevailing feeling among tho Irish Conservatives is opposed to any large changeof Irish local government goes without saying, but that their views will have any weight in determining the ministerial policy is' highly improbable. They might weigh somewhat with Lord Salisbury, but they have not the smallest influence with either Mr. Ooschen or Mr. Chamberlain, who are supposed to be the moving spirits in favor of making the next session a great occasion of Irish legislation. Certain Tories, who claim to have special knowledge of the intentions of the government, look upon Ulster opposition to tho plans of the Ministry as an assured factor In the problem, but believe that this will be counterbalanced by support from the Liberal benches. Probably, however, it will be found that even the Ulster party is likely to dissension. The only point on which they are in harmony at present is the abolition of the viceroyalty, though' they differ greatly as to what, if anything, should be substituted for it. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Prediction or War Next Year Labor Reforms in the German Reichstag. Copyright, 1389, by the New York Associated Press. Rerun, Sept. 7. The approach of the opening of the final session of the Reichstag is causing all parties to ask what form of policy the government is likely to take on which to go before the country. The semi-official press affords no special indication. Prince Bismarck is obviously awaiting the results of the French elections. If tho present government is so materially weakened as to make Boulangerism an important factor of the French policy we are certain to hear the war drum beat in 1890. Prince Bismarck appears to be preparing to give prominence to social reforms, bills dealing with strikes, and measures aiming to protect the poor classes against undue interest on loans. Legislation generally in favor of the workiug classes will play an important part in tho coming session of both the Reichstag and the Landtag. Points About German Royalty. Copyright 1889, by the Naw York Associated Press. Beblin, Sept 7. The Municipal Council of Hanover has donated the sum of 84,000 marks for tho purpose of decorating and illuminating the eity during the Emperor's visit. The leading citizens have been directed to make a display of bunting, but many of them will not observe the order, as in this quarter enthusiasm does not run high for the Hohenzollcrn. The Emperor has timed his return to Berlin for the 29th insi. Ills interview with the Czar will occur then, it at all. The Emperor and Empress will depart for Italy to meet King Humbert, early in October. The Empress Augusta Is taking the waters at Schlangenbacl. She Is a regular attendant at tho Protestant church there. The rumors that she has become a Catholic are baseless. She receives occasional visits from Catholic clericals seeking assistance for the poor, but she has never shown any leaning toward Rome. , Starving People of Albania, Bseclsl to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Sept 7. The famine-stricken peasantry of Albania are raiding villages in search of food. Thus far they have refrained from any further violence than has been necessary to render their victims as destitute of bread as they were themselves, but It is feared that their desperation will soon lead them to acts besides which pillage would be praiseworthy. A similar condition of affairs exists in some parts of Montenegro. Prince Nicholas, with a view Vo allaying the guttering of his people, recently proposed to borrow two million norms from the German and Austrian banks as a relief fund. The baukers declined to grant the loan, so Nicholas turned to Russia for assistance, and a fund is being raised there for the starving subjects of the Czar's best friend in Europe." The Pope the Victim of the Alliance. I Copyright. 1S89. by the New York Associated Press. Berlin, Sept 7,-The action of the Cathollo congress at Bochum, in abstaining from a declaration In favor of the restoration of the7 temporal power of the Pope is received with unfavorable comments by a section of tho. Cathollo press, chiefly outside of Germany. Among the Centrists, Dr. W lndthorst's speech in favor of the maintenance of the triple alliance, although rendering the restoration of Rome to the Pope impossible, is accepted as the only possible policy. The Pope, sent a letter to the Catholic congress at Minister, thanking the German Catholics for their fidelity to the church and their struggles to maintain their religion. Thrower of the TIayroarket Bomb. Special to the Imliaiu polls Journal. London, Sept. 7. For the last fifteen mouths, Rudolph Schnaubelt, the Chicago Anarchist who who is supposed to have thrown the fatal bomb in the Haymarket riot, has been living in Lon don under the protection of an Anarchist named Penkert. Tne utmost secrecy nas been observed with regard to Schnaubelt's presence here, but recently his identy was discovered, and his patron changed his quarters. It is now learned that Schnaubelt has tied the city, fearing that he would be arrested and extradited to Chicago. It is thought that he has gone to Copenhagen. Lord Randy Oppos ed to Welsh IIome-Rule. Londox, Sept 7. Lord Randolph Churchill. in a speech at Machynlleth, Wales, exprei sed himself as strongly oppo sed to Welsh home-rule, and to the disestablishment of the church in Wales. He was conlidcnt, he said, that there was no universal demand for either the one or the other. He iHJlieved the conservative church party could easily regain the ascendency In Wales by respecting and ministering to the Welsh national feeling. Pointed to America as an Example. London, Sept. 7. Lord Hartington, speaking at Bradford to-night, said that while he did not favor a fusion of Unionists and Conservatives, bethought such a coalition might be advisable at some future time. He referred to American safeguard against a change of constitution as an example for England In dealing with Ireland, and urged the government to adopt an active construe tlve poucy. VCable Notes.

Remarkable Efforts of a Pretty Brooklyn Girl to Resist the Saving of fler Life. New York. Sept, 7. One of the most determined attempts at suicide ever heard of was made last night by Lena Hertzog, seventeen years old, who resides with her parents in Williamsburg. The girl is a comely brunette, plump of form, and of pleasing appearance. She was a passenger on the ferry-boat from Brooklyn on the 12:10 o'clock trip last night, to this city. The boat had not yet cleared the slir, when one of the deok hands saw the girl swing herself clear of the east rail and disappear. Inside of a few seconds life-preservers, ladders and ropes were called into requisition. The electric light made things as clear as day. The first lifepreserver thrown fell close to the girl, but she pushed it away with an nngrv gesture. Tho noise and shouts attracted the ticketchopper, James Kelly, who has already saved thirteen people from drowning, lie jumped into the river, seized the girl by the waist, and lifted her bodily up, so that she might breathe. The girl turned upon hiin and straggled to free herself from his grasp. Kelly held on, however, and made for tho slip. A desperate struggle followed. The half -drowned girl eeenied to gain new strength, and she fought lie a tigress. When near the 6lip ropes were thrown. Kelly caught one' ami wound it around tho body of his charge, but it was quickly thrown oil. This the girl repeated three times, and then seizing her rescuer by the arm. savagely bit him. She was finally landed, wet, limp and exhausted. This water battle lasted fully fifteen minutes. When stimulants wero ottered tho girl later on. she threw the glass from her and smashed it. Finally the reckless creature was placed nnder arrest aud afterwards sent to the hospital in an ambulance where to-day she was doing nicely. Her parents say that tho whole adventure arose from a love affair. FOUGHT AT TIPPECANOE. Soldiers with Remarkable Records at a Marshall, Illinois, Reunion.

It Causes Little Surprise Administrations Js'ot Concerned in the Speakership. Bpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington; Sept. 7. No surprise was created in Washington this afternoon by the announcement, at the conclusion of a lengthy Cabinet meeting, that the President would not call an extra session oC Congress. Thoso "who stand near the administration knew this would bo the result of tho discussion set for to-day. It is no secret that President Harrison has till recently looked upon tho feasibility of an extra session with favor. He believed it would economize time, secure a more perfect organization of tho House, and enable tho . Republican rarty to make better legislation, but he was not fixed in his opinion. He was willing to havo both sides of tho question debated, and when a majority of the Cabinet bad presented views contrary to his inclinations, he yielded. So Congress will convene in regular session tho lirst week in December. The mugwumps and Democrats who have been tiring Commissioner Tanner out of the Pension Oilice for some time, announced, when they learned that there was to be no extra session of Congress, that tho conclusion indicated the administration was-in favor of Major McKinley, of Ohio, for the Speakership. It will bo remembered that Major McKinley recently visited the President and urged than nothing would be gained by an extra session, ft can be stated with a definite degree of accuracy that the administration is taking no hand in the speakership contest, and that it will not interfere with it at any time in the near or remote future. Tho conclusion reached at the Cabinet meeting, to-dav, was based npon business principle which interest the people much more than the speakership right. The Cabinet Meeting. Washing rox, fiept. 7. Secretary Wlndota was at the White House at 9 o'clock this morning &6 the request of the President. After a long consultation he came back to the Treasury, where he procured some ofSclal papers and returned in time, to lorn the Cabinet meetlnr which was called at 11 o'clock. The others present were: Secretaries Proctor, Tra cy and Noble, Postmaster-general Wanamaker and Attorneygeneral Miller. Before tho Cabinet pot together Mr. Kasson, one of the Samoan commissioners, and Representative Peters, of Kansas, had short Interviews w ith the President. The Cabinet was in session rer three hours. It is understood that nearly the entire time was devoted to a discussion of the advisability of calling an extra session of Congress. The impression is that a negative decision was arrived at. TREASURY ItUUXGS OS WOOL. fThe Administration Giving the Farmers tho Full Measure of Protection Under the Law. Washington Sept 7. Acting Secretary Bachellor has . written at length to Hon. Columbus Delano, secretary of the National Wool-growers' Association, at Mi. Vemon, O., in reply to his letters inviting attention to alleged frauds practiced In the importation of scoured wools under the false designation of 'wast.,, In his letter the acting Secretary says that the question as to tho proper classification of wools imported and invoiced as different kinds of woolen wasto has been the subject of careful con sideTation by the department since the incoming of tho present administration. Reference is made to the decisions made since March last relative to broken wool top, lap. and garneted waste, and it is said tho subject has been recently thoroughly investigated at the ports of Kew York. Philadelphia and Boston, and it has been definitely ascertained that theso decisions of the department, restricting the classincation of such material to tho woolen wasto contemplated by tho "statute, aro being properly enforced. 'In tnis connection it may bo mentioned.' says Mr. Bachellor, "that nearly all of theso importations of the year 1SS9 come in nnder the ratings of tho department made prior to the incoming of the present administration: also, that a large proportion of the so-called waste recently brought in nnder the gui6 of broken tops, lap waste, or garneted waste, was entered for warehouse, and has been exported because of the said decisions of the department above referred to. Naturally, that portion which was entered for consumption, and subjected to the higher rates of duty by the otlicers of the customs, was put npon the market at once to avoid further loss, and hence the unusual quantity ofiercdin the markets.'1 MTSOR MATTERS. Democratic Anxiety to Oast Tanner from Office Still Ungratlfled. Fpeclal to the IndlDaiK!!s JxirmU; Washington, Sept. 7. Although it was but 11 o'clock this morning when the Cabinet went into session it was twenty minues after 4 when Secretary Noble emerged from the White House, entered his carriago and drove to tho Interior Department. The croakers, who stood about the executive mansion and noted his departure, placed their right hand index finger at the side of tbeir noses, closed ono ej'e, and exclaimed conlidentially: 'I told you; so Corporal Tanner's case kept th Secretary there, and he was raked fore and aft. He will go." To mako a long story short and get at what the soldiers of the country want to know, it may be stated that Corporal Tanner will not retire from the Pension Oflice unless the circu mstances existing at the timo Secretary Jsoble left the White House this afternoon aro changed. He has done no thine which recommends his retirement, and tSere is more said about his going out by Democrats who are afraid of his administration than by anybody else. Garland's Occupation.
