THE COMING STRUGGLE. Federation of Labor Preparing for the EfffMHoar.Ficht in the Building Trades. Pittsburg. Pa., March 29. The ConneilsTille coke strikers will receive aid from an unexpected quarter in a short while. Samuel Gorapers, president of the Federation of Labor, will be here within the next two weeks, and writes that his organization will back the cokers to the last in their demand for eight hours. Mr. Gompers's visit, however, more directly concerns the coming struggle of the building trades in ihisfaicinity for the eight-hour law to be demanded on May 1, Pittsburg, it will be remembered. having been chosen as the neucelns lor an eight-hour movement in the building trades to extend all over the conntry. Both sides are thoroughly organized for the light. The master builders have been preparing for a year, and the builders of Pittsburg and the surrounding towns say they am a unit in repelling the move and tuat they will lock out every one May 1 if they persist in demanding eight hours. On too other hand the carpenters, with all other branches of the building trades, are the best organized men in the country, and are confident of winning. President Uompers says he will make his headquarters here, and work for both tho coke strikers and the building organizations until they win their demands. DISGRACEFUL SCENES AT A FUNERAL. Burial of & Chinaman at Pittsburg PraVs Oat & Lawless Crowd of Sight-Seers. Pittsburg, Pa., March 20. The Chinamen of Pittsburg, contrary to the general belief in regard io their burials, do not lend their dead to China, but own a neat lot in Uniondale Cemetery, in which they are interred. This afternoon one of their number, Jtu Seu.was buried with every rite and observance attending Chinese obsequies. Jeu Sea was a high Mason, and a long procession of Celestials followed the remains to the grave. Here a most disgraceful scene ensued, brought about by some live hundred Caucasians, who had trampled over graves, torn-down shrubbery and iostled the timid mourners in order to gratrfy their curiosity. The Chinese reverently placed burning joss sticks, perfumed paper and printed prayers beside the grave, only to have them almost snatched out of their hands by the excited mob. They also wrapped small coins in paper and scattered them on and in the grave, but boys and men snatched them no and fought fiercely for possession of the curious mementoes. Cat calls, jeers and howls from the vulgar crowd added to a shameless scene that Pittsburg heartily condemns, the excuse being that t the xiotious crowd was only made up of the idle, vulgar and lawless.

BATTLE OF THE FACTIONS

Lively Encounters Between Parnellites and McCarthyites Near Sligo. The Latter Chased Back to Town and Several of Their Number Badly Hurt with Stones and Sticks Socialism in Germany. LIVELY DAY IN IRELAND. F&raellltes and McCarthyltea Come Together with the Usual Result. Sligo. March 29. To-day has been the liveliest day, so far, in the North Siigo election campaign. By 6 o'clock this morning the streets were alive with people listening to the music of several bands. The Parnell contingent, with their leader, were out by 10 o'clock, engaged in persoual canvassing. In their zeal they attempted to devote attention to Coney island, in Sligo buy, although there are only twenty-live voters on the island. Parnell met with a hostile reception at Strand HilL where he found it impossible to hold a meeting, owing tothepiercingyelisof his opponents, and was Anally compelled to retreat to Sligo. The bishop of the diocese, together with tbe priests of the whole district, denounced Mr. Parnell to their congreatious at mass this morning. Meanwhile the anti-Parnellites Messrs. Sexton and Culler, Maurice Healy and Michael Davitt and their party bent on the unfortunate attempt to carry the tight into the enemy's country, started 'at 9 o'clock in the morning for the Tireragh district, addressing small gatherings on their way till Templeboy was reached. Here hostile camps had been formed. The Parnellites maintained sullen silence, but their opponents, with ringing cheers, welcomed tbe reinforcements. The Parnellites gathered on the brow of a hill, armed with blackthorns and other weapons, threatening to niove toward their opponents, but the police interfered, and, with a line of bayonets, awftd tbe antagonists, and the storm subsided amid muttered threats and curses. All now moved in the direction of Dromore West, where, after a similar scene, the Parnellites pelted their opponents vigorously with stones until they vf ere chased and clubbed by the police. Michael Davitt led his adherents off, all ducking their heads, and some covering themselves with rugs to avoid the fusillade of stones, Mr. Pinkerton, member of Parliament from Gal way, had his bead cut, and several others were injured. On trying to enter Easkey, the anti-Par-nellitew found the road barred by a formidable array of Parnellites, and on the advice of the police they retreated in the direction of Sligo amid another shower of stones and other missiles. The party reached Sligo in the evening, where they addressed a large meeting. They gave a detailed account of the day's happenings and tbe treatment they had received, and declared the Parnellite leaders organized on the previous night in Sligo. They nil vowed vengeance. At the same time they complimented the police for the protection they had afforded them. A telegram from Ballina reports that Dr. Tanner was seriously assaulted by a hostile mob to-day, being knocked down and dragged prostrate through the mud. . The fusillade of stoues continued until the party was half a mile from Easkey. A car with a couple of newspaper men lollowiug one hundred yards behind the Davitt party was attacked by the Parnellites. and the occupants were thrown to the ground and were so seriously hurt that they were obliged to stop at a village to have their wounds dressed. On learning who the wounded men were the assailants expressed contrition. GERMAN SOCIALISTS ACTIVE. Spreading Their Doctrines through the Ranks or the Army and Navy. Special to t&e Imlianapulis Journal. London, March 20. This evening's advices from Berlin state that unusual activity has prevailed for the past three days in the War Office, and that an unusual number of employes were busy at the office to-day. The Emperor had a long audience with Chancellor Caprivi, and the high officials generally look as if something important was on the tapis. There is no doubt that the movements of Russian troops near the German frontier and the evidence of cordial intimacy between Russia and France have caused much anxiety in Berlin, but it is possible that the alarm caused by the apprehension of war may lead to permanent changes. Besides the thought that Russia and Franco may bo preparing for war the German government is said to be very much stirred up over startling facts that have been disclosed in regard to the socialistic propaganda in the army. The military authorities have come into possession, through a recent an est, of evidence going to show that the Social Democracy has been spreading its doctrines through the ranks, both of the army and navy, and has made numerous proselytes, and that the propagation of socialism among the troops is not contined to Germany, but is systematically carried on throughout Europe, with the exception of Russia, and that all the armies of western Europe are honeycombed with tbe subversive ideas of the pledged enemies of established institutions. The Kaiser, it is stated, has given direction that the evil should be dealt with most radically, so far as Germany is concerned, and any otlicer or soldier detected in propagating the prohibited opinions shall be punished with the utmost severity. The information ascertained has also been sent to Austria, Belgium and Italy for the war offices in those countries to be on their guard. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Despicable Conduct of a Young 'Nobleman I Toward a Pretty Circus Rider. London, March 29. Marie Glasser is the name of the pretty circus rider who charges M. Yaresco, son of the ex-minister of Roumania. at Vienna, with stealing her diamonds, huving first borrowed and afterward pawned the jewels. The young man, it seems, who belongs to a noble family in Roumania, gave the girl the impression that he would make her his wife, and managed to borrow from her not only her jewelry, but nearly all the money she earned while at Vienna, and what is looked upon as making the matter worse he used a portion of the money thus obtained in paying court to the daughter of an attache of the German embassy. The latter discovered his perfidy, and made tbe facts known to the Princess Reus, with the result before stated of Verasco's expulsion from the ball. The Prince of Reuss persists in his refusal to fight a duel on the subject. Funeral of the Slain Bulgarian Statesman. Sofia, March 29. The men arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Minister Baltchefl'are detained, but an examination has shown that tho actual assassin has not yet been captured.

They laid a beautiful wreath on the coffin and followed on foot to the cathedral. All the Ministers, diplomatic representatives and government officials, and thousands of the grieved people, took part iu the funeral procession, tbe whole forming an imposing cortege. The remains were interred iu the cemetery, outside the town. ' Confident America Will Act Justly. London, March CO. The Times correspondent at Rome says the excitement caused by the lynching at New Orleans has completely subsided. The government fully appreciates the difficulties under which the American government labors, and it is not likely that any pressure will be brought to bear upon tbe latter. It is convinced the American government will readily make the compensation which

justice demands. Public opinion goes to show that no sympathy for the lynched Mafia is manifested. Many Italians say that it would be well if the other members of the Mafia were treated in the same way. The correspondent . adds: "There never has been the slightest pretext for an appeal to force in connection with the affair." Riot In a French Church. Paris, Maxcb 29. There was disgraceful rioting in a church in the town of Pont Audemer, on Good Friday. The rector of the church had organized a controversy between himself and a colleague, who assumed the role of the devil's advocate, the tatter's arguments to be refuted by the rector. This was to be followed by a procession of girls drepeed in white and carrying lighted candles. A number of youths disturbed the ceremonies by shouting and marking with red chalk crosses on the backs of the girls. A sc utile ensued and the congregation ejected the disturbers. Afterwards the youths returned with reinforcements to the church, many of them with lighted cigars in their mouths. A tumult resulted, the worshipers being compelled to retire and stop the ceremony. The Mayor has issued a proclamation calling upon the inhabitants to defend the dignity of religion. Bismarck's Berlin Houses. London, March 29. Prince Bismarck is fitting op in an elaborate manner the two houses he has purchased in the Kcenig-gratzer-strasse, and thirty of the rooms are being furnished in a style befitting a wealthy potentate or the embassador of some leading power. The Prince, his friends say, will maintain a sort of personal court in Berlin, to which his followers and admirers, German and foreign, can resort, and from all appearances it will be a center of considerable influence and authority. A report that Prince Henry visited Prince Bismarck on Thursday has revived rumors that the Emperor will soon pay a visit to the ex-Chancellor.

Washington Special to New York Ret onler. ,r . The officers of tbe Patent Office, who are accustomed to all kinds of queer inventions, and who thought themselves case-' hardened against crauks and surprises of ; every kind, had an experience the other day which was a novelty to them. A pale-: faced, thoughtful-looking stranger walked! into the chief clerk's office and said he Lad i ; J . x i . . n . -. .1. r J juvumeu a process Jor.uisuuiuit jjiusk iiulu coai-on, wuicu prouucea a penume a nundred times more powerful than the natural essence, and at less than one ouehundredth part of the cost, lie wanted' to know whether the process was patentable. ' The chief clerk, who was at the time assorting his mail for distribution among the different divisions, looked up with a slightly incredulous smile, and remarked: "You've got a good thing if you have an invention like that." ( "You don't believe met' remarked the applicant. "I will prove it.'f . "fQuick as a flash he pulled a" small phial from his pocket and scattered the contents over the papers lying on the chief clerk's desk. The odor of fifty thousand muskrats immediately filled the office. It was all in vain that doors and windows were? opened; the powerful scent could not be got rid of. Worse still, it was carried into half the other divisions of tbe building by tbe distributed mail. Twodays after the incident the chief clerk told correspondent that he had inadvertantly shaken hands with the inventor, and though he washed his hands at every available opportunity tho scent of musk clung to them still. A week has passed, but tho odor of musk is plainly perceptible in tho Patent Office. The clerks carry it home in their clothes, and begin to think they are scented for life. That man's application will bo acted upon. one way or another, without a moment's unnecessary delay, and without calling upon him for another nasal demonstration. m , m, t - Cheap 3Ioney and Mortgages. Centnry Magazine. The moneyed class is always in position to guard itself against the bad effects of disturbing financial legislation, and even to profit by it at the expenso of the poorer class. A competent authority upon the subject of farm mortgages declares that IK) per cunt, of them are negotiated by systematic lenders, banks and corporations organized for this express purpose, and that it has been the custom of many of these lenders to make the mortgage debt, both principal and interest, payable in gold. It is believed that fully one-half of all the mortgage indebtedness of the country is in terms expressly payable in gold, though this is more generally tho case in urban than in farm loans. If we were to have free silver coinage, ana tbe country were to reach the sillier standard, and gold were to rise to one hundred and twenty, or thereabouts, mortgageora who are counting upon having their debts reduced by the change would soon discover their error. They would find that they would have to pay $120 in silver for every instalment of $100 interest in gold. In other words, thev, and not the capitalists and money-lenders, would be the losers from this as from every other form of "cheap money." Shot Ills Wlfes Paramour. Philadelphia. March 29. John Hayt, aged twenty-seven, a locomotive fireman, surprised his wife, this morning, in the room of Andrew McFarland, who boarded with him. He seized a gun which stood close by, and, placing the weapon almost against McFarland's shoulder, fired. A frightful wound was the result. McFarland was taken to the hospital, where his arm was amputated. The doctors think there is a chance of his pulling through. Hayes surrendered himself to the police. He says the discovery ot his wife's infidelity was a great surprise to him, and that his sudden home coming was purely accidental, as he never before suspected her. The Hustler Will Ituitle Wherever He Is. New York Press. Among college men President Eliot is known as a rustler and a hustler. His opinion, recently expressed, that the East ern mau is just as much of a hustler and rustler as the Westerner may therefore be accepted as the expression of an expert. If the Western man gets bigger returns for bis rustling and hustling than the Easterner it is merely because opportunities in a new and growing portion of the country are greater for the hustler and the rustler than in an older civilization. Besides, the Western rustler and hustler is generally an Eastener transplanted, and the hustler and rustler will win tbe day wherever he is located. mam Kentucky's Greatest Industry. Chicago Mail Colonel Henry Watterson urges his subscribers to plant more trees. Tho Colonel might with propriety go a step further and advise them to plant fewer Kentuckians.

That Kansas Campaign Lie. Chicago Inter Ocean. Henthorn. the reporter who furnished the Chicago Times, the St. Louis Republic, and other Democratic newspapers with the falsehood which charged the Republican party in Kansas with the crime of the dynamite explosion in Cofleyville, Kan., has confessed to the legislative committe of inquiry that the story was without foundation of truth, a malicious lie invented to damage tho Republican party. But we have not seen any apology in the columns of our Democratic contemporaries for' their acceptance and publication of tbe story. We shall not see any apology. The Democratic campaign of 1690 was one of most reckless falsehood. Never was lying used so continually iu political war ashy the Democrats in liS'JO. The reaction is in full swing. The falsehoods are being proved false. But, as we have said, no apologies are seen in the columns that were full of the falsehoods which time is destroying. Henthorn's statement shows how one campaign lie was put in circulation. Explanations have been made iu other cases, and it is probable that explanations will be made in still other cases, and that in tho end the Instigators or manufacturers of sensational falsehoods for political nse will stand before tho public in their true character, and will, because of exposure, fail to have any influence.

PLATE-GLASS UXDEIt PKOTECTION. Steady Increase of the Industry and Sharp Decrease in Cost to Couiumcrt, New York Press. The enormous growth of the plate-glass industry in the United States is strikingly illustrated by the request that manufacturers are about to make to the Treasury Department relative to the restrictive provisions of the contract labor law. It is claimed by these manufacturers that fully 1,500 skilled workers will bo needed within the present year to equip and run establishments now neariug completion, and that these laborers must be brought from Europe, as they cannot be obtained here. Ordinarily a protected industry makes slow and steady growth, educating new workmen as they are needed. The plateglass industry, however, in two years' time has increased so rapidly that glaziers' glass is no longer imported, but entirely supplied for home consumption by our own glass-works. The following table, which is furnished by a reliable authority, will best indicate the growth of this industry: Aev Works Workg Capacity and Add iHiarled. Firmg. tn Vol. tionall'oU. lt70 DePauwriate-glass Company, New Albany 40 .... 1875 Crystal City CS .... 1884 Pittsburg Plate-glass Company, Creighton, Pa... 40 .... 18S6 Tarentum, Pa GO .... 1886 Standard, Butler, Pa. 40 .... 1889 Howard Plate-glass Com pany, Duquesue, Pa 40 .... 1890 Ford City.

Pa...... .. 60 Total ....400 320 Some rather startling conclusions as to tbe future conditions of the American plate-glass market and the prices that are likely to rule, as well as some forcible illustrations of the operations of protective tar ill, may be drawn from the above figures, with other contemporaneous facts. Prior to 18SS the importation of plate-glass for glazing purposes was very large. Since that time, however, the home product so largely increased each year that the importation steadily decreased until 1890, when it entirely ceased, so far as glazing quality is concerned. According to the above table tbe product will be 70 per cent, larger before the close of 1891, and plateglass become so ch$ap that it can be used in tbe most ordinary structures. Fifteen years ago plate-glass was selling at an average price of about 2.50 per square foot (and the manufacturer lost money at that), but to-day the average price per foot is about 60 oents, and the margin of protit is still large. These changes, both as relate to prices and the supply ot the home market by a homo product, have been achieved under a fostering tariff, and in the face of the fact that the product has been far short of the demand until the past year. The only plate-glass of any large, importation now is the silvering quality of small sizes, which American manufacturers claim they cannot afford to produce under the present low duty on glass under ten square feet. The benefitd of this protected industry to the country may be briefly summed up in the complete supply of our entire demand for glazing quality glass at less than onefourth the price formerly paid for it, the employment, meanwhile, of vast numbers of workmen, and the retention in this country of the money we formerly sent abroad for glass, thus encouraging our own shop and store-keepers, agriculturists, and producers, and manufacturers, rather than those of Europe. The plate-glass manufacturers have just now, it is true, problems of serious moment to work out the need of more skilled labor and the possibility of overproduction. But the former will come at their own risk, when they understand the situation, and reciprocity will provide a means for disposing of the surplus product. COLD CHEFS AT CAMP MORTON. A Confederate Soldier Tells Some Amazing Yarns or SuiTeringa at Indianapolis. Dr. Joim A. Wyeth, in April Century. Camp Morton, the military prison, was, in 1863, a plot of ground formerly used as a fair ground, in shape a parallelogram, containing, as well as 1 could estimate, about twenty acres of land, inclosed by a plank wall about twenty feet high. In its long axis this plot was bisected by a little rivulet, which the prisonerschristened the "Potomac." On each side of this branch the barracks were situated. These barracks had been erected as cattle sheds and stables; they were about twenty feet wide, in height ten feet to the eaves, fifteen feet to the middle of the roof, and eighty feet long. The sides were of weather-boards, ten to twelve inches wide, set on end and presumably touching one another, and covered with strips when first put up. When they served as shelter for us, however, tbe Elanks had shrunk, and many of tbe strips ad disappeared, leaving wide cracks, through which the winds whistled and the rain and snow beat in upon us. I have often seen my top blanket white with snow when we were hustled out for morning roll-call. The roof was of shingles, and did not leak. Along tho comb an open space about a foot wide extended the entire A length of the shed, the earth served as floor, and the entrance was through a large barn-door at each end. Along each sido of this shelter. extending seven feet toward the center, were constructed four tiers of bunks, the lowest about one foot from the ground, tbe second three feet above this, the third three feet higher, while the fourth tier was on a level with the eaves. 'Upon these long shelves, not partitioned olF. the prisoners slept or lay down, heads to the wall, feet towards the center or passage-way. About two feet of space was allotted to each man, making about 3130 men housed in each shed. As we hand no straw for beddins, and as each man was allowed only one blanket, there was but little comfort to be bad in our bunks until our miseries were forgotten in sleep. The scarcity of blankets forced us to huddle together in cold weather, usual ly three in a group, with one blanket between us and the planks, and the other two to cover us with. The custom was to take turns in occupying the middle place; but on account of my small stature and boyish appearance, I was allowed, to sleep in tbe middle all the time. The only attempt at heating this open shed (barracks No. 4) was by means of four stoves placed at equal distances along the passageway, and onlv the strong man who could push or fight his way to the stove, and then have muscle enough to maintain his position, enjoyed the luxury of artificial warmth. Up to Christmas of 1804 I had not felt the heat from the stove. To men, the greater number of whom had never been in a cold climate, the suffering was intense when with such surroundings the mercury was near zero. A number were frozen to death, and many more perished from disease brought on by exposure, added to their condition of emaciation from lack of food. I counted eighteen bodies carried into the dead-house one morning after an intensely cold night. An Unreconstructed State. MUwankee Fen tin el. Perhaps the Democratic successes in tbe North last fall have had something to do with the outbreak of old-time confederate feeling in the Arkansas Legislature. The members have turned themselves loose in the green pastures of jollitv and beside the still waters of self-gratnlation. rlho first act of the session was to order a life-size portiuit of Jelferson Davis. Now tho portrait of George Washington, which has been hanging in the Capitol since 1870, is ordered down and its place is to be occupied by the full-length portrait of Jellersou Davis. It is verv doubtful if anything of this kind would have been done but for the feeling in Arkansas that the Democrats are on top a feeling growing out of the Democratic successes of last fall. Down there they have the notion that the success of the Democratic party means the triumph of the element that tried to destroy

That they should vote liberal peusions to confederates, which Union soldiers and other Unionists now residents of the State will have to help pay, is not a thing to quarrel about nor is the refusal to appropriate a dollar for representation at the world's fair a thing to complain of but when these things are associated with the displacement of Washington by Davis they indicate the prevalence of the idea that things aro going the confederate way in the North OLOBYIKG IX T1IKIU SUA HE. The Outrageous Gerrymanders Sustained by the Democratic Newspapers. Keir Orleans Times-Democrat (Dem.). The Democrats were fortunate in capturing a number of btate legislatures this year, as it enables thein to pass apportionment bills favorable to Democratic interests. Nearly all the present apportionments in the Northern States were made by l(opublican Legislatures, and the States were gerrymandered in their interest, tbe consequence being that every republican vote counts as much as three Democratic ballots. Notable exceptions were Ohio and Indiana, where the Democrats carried tbe State legislatures some years ago and gave the g. o. p. a dose of its own gerrjmader medicine. The legislatures now in session are undoing the gerrymanders of the Kepublicam and assuring Democratic congressmen in the future. Two of the Southern States have already acted. Alabama and Arkansas, and their appartionments assure solid Democratic congressional delegations from these States. Still more important is the action in Michigan, where the new apportionment will assure the Democrats fix of the twelve congressmen if tbe Republicans get 80,000 majority, and eight, ortwo-thirda of the delegation, if tho Republican majority is 10.000. This, of course, is a gerrymander, but it should be said that the Republicans set the example, that they divided the State into congressional districts with the intention of not allowing the Democrats a single representative, and that the) new apportionment is in every respect better and more honest than the one it displaced. It is probable that similar action will bs taken in all the States in which the Democrats are in power, thus assuring the party control of future bouses by izood majorities. The Republicans aro much disturbed and are, of course, crying gerrymander.' apparently forgetful of their own work in such matters. They are greatly alarmed over Illinois, the Legislature of which the Democrats control, and where thrr can easily frame an apportionment bill thai will give them a gain of ten Congressmen on tho average vote of the State. The Republican plan is to prevent the passags of any apportionment bill whatever, which will require tbe election of the en. tire congressional delegation on a trenerai ticket, when they hope that they will get all the twenty-three Congressmen. It is a rather riskv business. boweer, when it la considered that the Democrats carried tho State by a good majority at the last elec An equally important matter is the legislative apportionment undrr the new cen sun. In Indiana this has been so arranged as to assure the Democratsnraajority of tht Legislature of the State under all cir cumstances, and the same course will be followed in Ohio. Wisconsin, and wherever the Democrats are in power. This will helj materially in securing and maintamina control of the Uuited States Senate. "You Ilet" He Will Fall In Line.
