The Supreme Court Itcquetted to Advance It 8u an Enrly Decision Cnn !$ llendercd. I pedal to the Indianaoo'.-.s Jonrntl. Washington, April 3. In . the Supreme Court ot the United States to-day State Attorney-general Green Smith and Judge Ketcham appeared for the Stato of Indiana, -nl Jofcn il. llatler. Jobn T. Dje ana S. O. P-ckens for the Dig Four, the l'anhandle and the Indianapolis fc Vineonnes railroad companies in the celebrated State tax case, which haa come here on appeal from thrt Supreme Court of the State. A motion wa) n.ado to advance tbecaeon the docket. '1 he amount involved and the great importance of the principles in question were the grounds upon which counsel asked to have the cae advanced so that it coul'l be disposed of before the summer xacfttionof the court, which is in May. A decision upon the motion is expected on next Monday. There are three wings to the case here, or three cases proper, all involving the same general principles. WOULD 11C TOO RADICAL. BIr. Hoar View of the Proposed Change In Method of Electing Henatora. Washington, April 2. It appears from a resolution introduced in the Senate, today, as if tho debate on the subject of the election of Senators by a direct vote of the people was to be renewed at this extra Session of tbe Senate. Mr. Hoar introduced a resolution antagonistic to that proposition, and gave notice that as soon an convenient after to-morrow be would addnss tbe Senate on the resolution. The resolution asserts that it is inexpedient that tbe resolution sent to the Senate by the House during tbe last Congress should be adopted, for aueh a method of election would essentially change the character of the Senate as conceived by the convention that formed the Constitution and the people who adopted it. It would, the resolution continues, transfer tbe election of Senators isom tho Legislatures, intrnstcd with all legislative powers of the States, to bodies bavins no other responsibility, whose election cannot be regulated by law. whose members vote by proxy, whose tenure of office is for a single day, whose votes and proceedings are not recorded, and who act tinder no personal responsibility. It roquires the substitution of pluralities for majorities, transfers the' seat of political power in great States, now distributed evenly over this territory, to the great cities .and masses of copulation; creates tiew temptation to fraui, and will give rise to numerous election contests, will absolve the larger States from the constitutional obligation which secures equal representation of all States in the Senate by providing that no State shall be deprived ot that equality without Its consent. In conolusion. the resolution says such a method implies what tbe whole current or our history shows to be untrue that the Senate has. during the past century, failed to meet the just expectations of the people, and that State legislatures have proved themselves unfit to bo the depositaries of the powers of electing Senators. The reasons which require this change, if acted upon and carried to their logical result, will lead to the election by the popular vote and by popular majorities of tbe President and of tbe judiciary, and will compel tho pjacing of these elections under complete national control. It will result in the overthrow of tho whole pebeme of the Senate, and, in the end, of the whole scheme of the national Constitution as designed and established by its Iramers and the people who adopted it. SENATOR TCttl'IK TALKED, j i But It Is Not StaUd Which of Ills "Seven Tongues" the Learned Homier Used. Washington, April 3. The Senate today began the fifth week of its extraordinary session with a fair attendance of Senators in their seats, and with a largo audience in tbe galleries. Tbe rights of three Senators from the States of Montana, Washington and Wyoming to seats in the Senate was discussed in alii rmation of that riant by Mr. Turpie. Another question as to a Senator's right to a seat was raised to-day by the' presentation of a petition from Joseph W. Ady, of Kansas, asserting that Mr. Martin, who was sworn in as a Senator from that State at tbe opening of this extraordinary session, was not duly elected, and that he (Ady) was. and now desires to be admitted to the seat. It in tbe general impression at the Senate that the extra session of that body will adJoam tho lirst or middle of next ween. The l'resident will probably by that time be ready to notity them that be has nof urtber communications to make. When the Contested election cases are disposed of it is pot likely that a quorum will remain in the city, as there have already been some departures, and many other Senators will leave so soon as the cases are out of tbe way. There are some who think that an adjournment can be bad by tbe last of this week, but it is not believed by tbe majority that the work can be finished by that date. Though the Republicans still claim that they will push tho Koach investigation, and so have tbe eoope of the resolution oxtended that the manner in which Mr, Roach's uleoticn was accomplished, aud the part the Democratic steering committee played in it developed, there are few who really believe that anything more will bo done this session than tbe roferenoe of the resolution to the committee on privileges and elections. They may order an investigation, but no work will be done in this direction until the session next fall. REPUBLICANS 31DST GO. Secretary Carlisle Believes Ills Division Chiefs Should lie Democrats. Washington, April 3. So soon as Secretary Carlisle is relieved from the rush of callers, which up to the present time shows po diminution, be will turn bis attention to the changes in that department so far as the chiefs of divisions and bureaus are concerned. He thinks that in order that the work in the department should be cartied out in harmony with the administration, tbe officers that have the control of the various branches should be of the same political faith as those in power.- There are some of the chiefs, however, who are looked upon as the Secretary's "ollicial family," that have held their places for many years, and whoso places it would be ru extremely difficult matter to fill without injuring the public service. They hare bo iminiatolv allied themselves with the proper working of tho department that it Is not probable that Secretary Carlisle will change them, but in all cases where the offices Are tilled by persons whose appointment was made by the ltepubliean administrations, chieily for political reasons, and vhere the service will not sutler by a change beng made. Democrats will be put Secretary Carlisle to-day appointed Oliver 1. Tucker, of Covington. Ky.. Deputy Controller of tho Currency, vice Nixon, resigned. Mr. 1 ticker waa formerly connected with tbe First National Hank of Cotintjton, Ky. lie is forty years of age. Can lie Tried on, Another Charce. Washington. April 2. The Supreme Court to-day, in a lorn; opinion by Justice Jackson, decided that a fugitive from justire rendered under extradition proceeding by one State to another may bo constitutionally tried in tbe latter State upon a warrant charging another otl'enae than the one set forth in the warrant of extral ilii n without being first returned to the I t'lto from which hn came. This decision affirm the judgment of the (Georgia Snfueme Court in tlie case of Sidney Lascile, alias Walter S. lleretford. tbe vrell;tiown swindler, who, claiming to be Lord lresfnrd'N Hon, cut wide nwath in New York and the .South at the expense of his deluded victim. (jresliHin lias Confidence in Foster, Washington, April C An official of the State Department, known to be in tho confidence of Secretary (Ircshain. in conversation, to-day, in regard to the liehriug sea tciuuiission, said that, while tbe Secretary

may incline to the opinion that tbe allowances of some of its members are excessive, he is not disposed to Interfere in the matter, especially while the arbitration is in progress, and that he has no thought of recalling any of tho attaches of the commission, or of asking any change in its personnel. It was stated further that the Secretary was especially desirous of avoiding any action that might possibly embarrass those charged with the management of the ease of tbe United States in the present advanced state of progress, especially as be knows Mr. Foster so well, and has confidence in his judgment and ability. The JtuastAi Treaty Diacoast-d. Washington. April Tho Senate was in secret session this afternoon for rnoro than hour ar.d at tbe end of that time only a few postmasters were given out as having been confirmed. This was. however, tho most unimportant part of the session. Th Behring seacorre;spoudenceand thecasesof the two governments were submitted to the Senate, nut not read. Tho Russian treaty was then taken up and demanded the attention of the Senators for some time. The recent criticisms of this treaty in the newspapers ot the country have given the instrument something of apolitical tinge and the Senate is no nearer a solution on tbe question whether or not to release the injunction of secrecy than it was a week or ten days ago. The discussion binges upon just what amount shall be made public.

"lllne llondar" for IMace Hunter. Washington, April 3. Thii was ''blue Monda" at the White House, at least In the official portion of tbe mansion, for this is the day of the week when the President retires into the solitude or his . office, bars the doors against importunate placo hunters and devotes himself to "matters requiring his uninterrupted attention." Official callers were few ad far between. They came up stairs in an uncertain way, as if they feared they would not be received, and, when their suspicious weroconiirmed, wandered into Private Secretary Thurber's room and drifted out again, pausing in the course of their exit long enough to gossip awhile with the newspaper men. - - 1 ( Colonel and Mrs. Corbln's IJereavements. Washington, April 2L CoL Henry C. Corbin and his wifeleft Washington to-night for Wilmington, O., with the remains of their youngest daughter, Kebecca. who diod at ber father's residence here last night, after a lingering illness. Fstteen yoars ago, while serving on the frontier of Texas, tho family of Colonel Corbin was suddenly attacked by a fever of a malignant typ which, while apparently submitting to treatment, loft traces of its terrible work which were ineradicable. One after tho other four of the five children have passed away. The Colonel and bis wife bear with them tbe love and sympathy of a host of Washington friends. "loring- for Natural Gut In Virginia. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April a It will be of direct interest to many readers of tbe Journal in the natural gas belt of Indiana to learn that the citizens of Alexandria, Va., eight miles below tbe national capital, are boring for natural gas, and that they are confident success will ' crown their efforts. Should natural gas be found at that point in Virginia it is believed by scientists here that the theory that natural gait is an evaporation of oil or comes from coal deposits will be exploded. There is neither oil nor coal in that ssctionof tho Old Dominion. New Money Order Offices. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 3. Domestio money order offices were established, under the direction of the Postoffice Department, today, an follows, for Indiana: Algiers, Pike county; Gas City, Grant county; SparksTille, Jackson county (re-established); Wallace, Fountain county. Postal note offices were established to-dny, for Indiana, as follows: 1H tod, Parke county: Graham, Jetlerson county. Applications Filed by Ilooslers. Special to the Xndiauapolis Journal. Washington.

Cropsey and M. A. McDonald, of Indianapolis, are at tho Arlington. Tho action of anti-Semitic in Vienna in protesting against the appointment ot Max Judd to be United States consul-general there is regarded at the State Department as not entirely consistent, in view of the fact that Mr. Julius Goldschmldt. the present consul-general at Vienna, whom Air. Judd was nominated to succeed, is also a Jew. Congressman Hooker, of Mississippi, who was injured by a cable car, is better to-night. Secretary Hoke Smith does notexpeot that the Cherokee Strip will be open to settlement before the 1st of July next. COLLISION IN ILLINOIS.

Concluded from First Pace. the company, and having notice of a mandate from a court of competent Jurisdiction as to how that work must to done, he must in his work obey the mandate. Tbe rcaeou for the rule Is obvious. It would be impracticable to enforce the relation of master ahd servant against the will of either. Especially 1 this true iu the case of rnllvray engineers, where nothing but the most p&Kittaklng aua devoted attention on the part of tiio employe will secure a proper discharge of hi responsible duties. It would even seem to he against publlo policy lo expose tho lives of the traveling public and the property of the shippiug public to the dancer which liiiirht arise from the enforced and unwilling perlorinauce of so responsible a duty. The argument is made tiiat a jrrcat public Interests are deien.lent upon the continuous performance by common carriers of their duties eu,uitv thmld Intervene by injunction to prevent the crippling of thoo publlo agents by unlawful strikes. It is true that remedies in courts of equity exp.ind and progress to meet the wants of chancing civilization p.nd conditions, but that expansion and progression are along '.rell-denned lines, aud the 12 forced specific performance or a contract of servico would bo a marked departure from the precedents to be found in a century of equitable relief. We finally believe that in view of tho foregoing this court can enjoin Arthur from inciting, inducing or xrocuriug tho members of the brotherhood in the employ of tho defendant companies to carry out Itule 12 and refiuo to handle complainant's freight. We have no doubt of it. For him to do so will ho to cause an unlawful, irreparable injury to complainant, and will be to induce on the part of tho employes a violation of the mandatory order of this court. Hither of thc.e grounds is ample for tho exercise upon him of the restraining rower of a writ of injunction. Reason and tho authorities hereafter cited would warrant us in goiuc further if necessary. While it is truo that the engineers in the employ of defendant companies may not be enjoined from quitting the service of those companies there is noxule of equity which prevents the court from enjoining Arthur from advilntr, inducing or procuring such eniploj'ca, in pursuance of Hule 12. to quit the service of defendant companies for the purpose of causing a wrongful, criminal and irreparable Injury to tho complainant. Tho effect would be, not to compel the employes to remain in tho servico of the defendant companies against their will, but it would be to keep from them a wrongful influence which, if exerted, would be likely to cause such an Injury. It is immaterial whether tbe step to bo taken by Arthur is merely ministerial, as 1 said, or whether it involves discretion oi Lis part. The operation of tho rule as against complainant is unlawful, will do it irreparable injury, and, therefore, with tho exception already noted, every step In its enforcement may be enjoined. Here Judge Taft cites numerous authorities to sustain his position, lie then says: It was suggested in argument that an injunction would not issue against the commission of a crime. A rule thus broadly stated has sometimes been announced, bat It will be found, on examination of tho caie, that it applies only wbcro the iniury about to be ennsed is to the public alone and where the proper remedy a by criminal proceedings. Where an unlawful injunction to privato rlrhts is threatened and irreparable Injury is likely to ensue, equity will enjoin on behalf of tho person whoso rights are to ne Invaded, notwithstanding the fact that a criminal preceding on behalf of tho public for tho same 4 1 will also lie In closing allnsion is made to that part of the original restraining OTder which compelled Arthur to rescind the direction he bad already given for the enforcement ofKnlelZ. The Judge eays: It was mandatory in its character and. therefore, unusual, but precedents in equity abundantly justify it. The ortect of Arthur's act was continuing, and would In tho immediate future have caused the injury w hich complainant had tho right to be protected against. There was absolutely no way of maintaining tho status quo between the parties, which is the proper oflice of a preliminary injunction, but by compelling at once a recession of Arthur's act. Had its e licet been allowed to continue future equitable relief would have been entirely futile. The whole injury would have been done. The rule goverlng tho court iu such cases is as follows: 'Section 2 That when there is willful and unlawful invasion of plaintitfs rights agaiust his protest and remonstrance, the injury by being a continuing one, mandatory injunction may bo granted in tho first instance." The present was an extreme case. The Injury threatened was willful, wrongful and criminal, and a mandate, though not a frequent remedy. . was necessary and could by no possibility under the circumstances work injury to anyone. Tho motion of the temporary mlunct'.on agulnst defendant Arthur is allowed as prayed. How the Decisions Wre Received. Toledo, O.. April 8. Ask a Lake Shore or Ann Arbor striker to-night what he thinks of the decisions and be will probably reply; "Ob, I dnnno." These wp words just about express the general situation bere at the present time. The majority of the strikers seem utterly unable to decide for themselves whether or not tbey have gained a point iu the controversy, and tbe intelligent public is in about tho same lix. A great many seem of the opinion that the railroads have got tbe beat of the deal, inasmuch as theinjunction against Arthur has been made per-' petual, and the spirit of the now law promulgated by the court carried out in the convictiop of thedofeiidantLennoo. On the other hand, the few strikers who do pretend to understand tho situation' claim that the injunction Against Arthur does not allect them iu tbe least, inasmuch as he has no power to call a strikeor order a boycott; and that the discharge of the seven other strikers, is an evidence that it will be almost impossible to enfdrce the new law coirlpelling all employes, while still in the servico of a railroad, to handle the freight of any other road on which there may exist a boycott. Tbe attorneys for tho brotherhood assert that there was no more reason for the conviction of Lenuon than thore was for the conviction of the other strikers. All tbe objections made by the court to the charges of the prosecution against the other strikers apply, tbey say, just as well to Lennon's case. The only possible difference, they claim, is that Lennon was on the road, and in the performance of a contract when he quit work. They admit that he might be held responsible for violating that contract, but say that in that case tho United States court would have no jurisdiction iu the matter, and that if he were to be held on tbe charge he would have to be tried in criminal court and dealt with accordingly. The ouse. these attorneys claim, has not been finally aud completely cousiderod. The matter has resolved itself down to the old original question of whether ornot the employes of a railroad shall have tho right vo quit work when they feel so disposed. In spite of all claims to the contrary the attorneys say this is tbe real vital question, and they say that if the courts of last resort decido that employes shall not have the right to so quit, that the entire system of labor unionim in this country will bo wrecked, and that governmental control of tho railroads will not bo far oil'. No evidence has been produced, it is claimed, tending to show that either Mr. Arthur or any of his men entered into a criminal conspiracy. Tho act of quitting was not, they say, dono with the intention of producing disastrous results npon the property or business of the railroads, if workingmen are not to be allowed to act in concert for the purpose of securing higher wages without being held liable for criminal conspiracy, then the strike system is done away with forever. These points oro all dwelt jipou by Judge Kicks in the most important part of bis decision, where he says that an act when done by en individual in the exercise of a right may be lawful, but when done by a number conspiring to injure or improperly inllueuco another, may be unlawful. One or more employes may lawfully quit the employer's services at will, but n combination of a number of them to do so for the purpose of injuring the public and oppressing employers by unjustly subjecting them to tbe power of tbe oonlederation for extortion or for mischief, is criminal. Ox Judge Taft's decision the attorneys say that it will practically have no el'iect upon the boycott question, inasmuch as the grand chief has no power to order a boycott and compel the members to go on strike. The part of Judge Taft's decision that is looked upon as most important is, of course, ttiat in which be refers to the carrying out of Kulo 12, of tbe brotherhood constitution. Doth cases will be appealed at once to the courts of last resort. The contempt case will be taken to tho Mipreuie Court on the ground that the defendant, l.eunon, was not properly notified of the proceedings; that he was not subpoenaed according to law; that be bad not seen the order of the court or understood its import and that tho court has no jurisdiction in tbe matter, tbe plaintiffs both being corporations organized under tho laws of Michigan, and there being no federal question involved. The case against Cnief Arthur will be appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals on the ground that no evidence baa been produced to shovr that the defendant was in any way guilty of .conspiracy, or that he incited any of bU

men to engage in a conspiracy against the roads in question.

Wlist Chief Arthur Sid. . Cleveland, O., April S. P. M. Arthur, grand chief of tbe Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, was asked, this after noon, what he intended to do in view of the fact that the decision of the United States Pistrict Court had been against the men he represents. Mr. Arthur smiled when told about the decision, and said: 'AH right. I don't know what wo will do now. I have not given tho matter a moment's thought: but tbe engineers will be all right in any event. The court does not seem to understand what my duties are. I have not got such jurisdiction over the men as tbe court may think. 1 have no authority to order a strike. The men settle all these matters by vote, aud 1 merely give my consent if 1 see fit to do so. In this case 1 presume the court is under tbe impression that 1 had authority to order a strike.' "What will bo the ellect of this decision in tbe injunction suit against youf way asked. "1 suppose it will enjoin me from issuing certain notices to the'raen.' "What wjll you do about itf" "Can't tell jnst yet, I cannot say any more about tbe matter until 1 see the decision in full." "Will the brotherhood fight the contempt case further!'' "I cannot tell yoa anything about it now." 1 "The judge has held one of the men for contempt?' - "Yes, so I notico, but the dispatch does not say what they are going to with tho man. Just wait until we hear further particulars, and we may know more about what oan be done in the matter." Views of Ahl7 ntid Gompers. New York, April &Vice President James N. Ashley, of tbe Toledo. Ann Arbor & North Michigan railroad, arrived iu this city to-day. Speaking of Judge Ricks'a decision, be said: "The decision does not surprise mo in the least, as under the common law boycotting is illegal and tho refusal to handle freight from a road because there is a strike there is boycotting. "Now that this decision has been given, the men know that by following Hule 12 of their by-laws they are disobeying the law." Samuel Gompers, president of the Federation of Labor said: "The time has passed when, by a decision of a judge. workingmen inav be made a part of the soil on which they labor, or be tied to conditions which are irksome to them. They will continue to demand their rights until they force judges to entertain a moro enlightened opinion as to their purposes." A leader of Lodge No. 145, of the Urotherhood of Looomotive Engineers, said: "I do not think the public ever considered our organization a conspiracy agaiust tho laws of the country. 1 know that tho oltieers of the New York Central have not bo considered it." FKOJl FIKEJIIiN'S IIEADQUARTKRS. Grand Master Sargent llelieves Ills Brotherhood Will Mtnnd by tlie Engineers. Special to the iiiulanspolls Journal. Teh he Haute, Ind., April a. Grand Master Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, was this morn?ngfullvex-t peotlug Judge Kicks, of loledo, to decide against the men who wero charged with being in oontempt of court for refusing to handle Ann Arbor freight. He was also fully expecting united action by the engineers aud tiremen on all roads that might undertake to interchange freight with the Ann Arbor road. Speaking of the situation, he said the men felt that all of them were equally as guilty in pnnoiple as tbe men who were arraigned in court Naturally tbey are determined to stand by the accused. To evince their allegiance to the brothorhood doctrine tbey are expected to resign their positions on all roads that handle Ann Arbor business. Asked as to the attitude of the liremen regarding their allowauce from the strike benefit fund, Mr. Sargent explained that It was well understood that if the men wero out of work by reason of honorable conduct there would be little doubt that they would receive the usual allowance. In this connection it must be understood that the boycott is not authorized by anything in the laws of the firemen's brotherhood. It is the affair of the engineers, and was inaugurated by them. The liremen, however, are loyal to the union and broth erhood doctrine, and when the men with whom tbey are so closely associated quit work they believe they are called to do likewise. If not tbey would be subjected to the stigma of "scabbing." Tho truth is that there is now but one sentiment with the men. If tbe strige extends to another road than the ontj running Into Toledo, no one can toll where it will end. The men are determined not to lose their point and are much buoyed by the hope that the public will disapprove of Jndge Kioks's decision. This evening, after reading the decisions rendered by Judges Kicks and Taft iu tbe case of the engineers in Toledo, Air. Sargent said the rulings were time wasted, so far as strikes or boycotts were concerned. He questioned the riocision $ Judge Taft in declarina Rule 12 of the engineers as a violent and criminal conspiracy against the country. The granting of the temporary injunction against Chief Arthurs order does not allect tbe law of the engineer's brotherhood, and individual members of tbe order will be compelled to carry out that order notwithstanding the decision rendered by Judge Taft. The rule can only be changed by tbe supremo officers of tbe organization at a general convention. The boycott will - m a.a a Btui no eniorcea Dy me men, ana instead of refusing to handle trains containing Ann Arbor cars, the engineers and tiremen will simply resign their positions ahd the courts will then be compelled to provo tha; they refused to haul the Ann Arbor freight in order to bold them for contempt. If the boycott al ready actea on oy the engineers is a criminal conspiracy against the country, as decided by Judge Talt, then boycotts are at an end in America. If it applies to a company it ap plies to an individual and all the railroad companies that boycotted tbo ChicagoA: Al ton recently, by refusing to sell tickets over that road, wero guilty of criminal con spiracy. Mr. Sargent emphatically dis agrees with the decision, and Questions if there is a statutecovering the point. These cases will be carried to tbe Supreme Court. AS INTKItPKTED I1V CA It LISLE. The Allen Labor Law Affeots Only Contractu Made In a Foralgn' Country. Suspension Bridge, N. Y April aCol lector James J. Low, of this port, has been able to lessen, if not to terminate, the bitter rivalry that has existed for years between tbe laborers on tbe American sido of the river aud those on the Canadian side. The early morning hours for years have seen scores of Canadian laborers trudging across tho suspension bridges, and in the evening plodding back: again with American wages in their pockets. The adjustment has been brought about by Major Low's interpretation of tbe alien contract labor law, as advised by Secretary Carlisle, which, ho thinks, relates to contracts made in a foreign country only. According to this reading of tho law a contract made within the United States, although made with a foreigner, is not prohibited by any existing law, The collector says be has no authority to close the gates against foreign laborers, hence the laborers on this side will have to retire with their complaints. The customs collectors bavo only lately been vested with the power to adjust immigration and alien troubles, and Collector Low is now ordering the disposition of scores of complaints that have been entered by domestio laborera. THItEATEN TO STKIKl 1,200 Carpenters Employed on World's Fair ltalldlntr My Quit Work. Chicago, April 3. The world's fair board of control this afternoon, at the conclusion of tbe conference with representatives of the carpenters' unions, refused to sign tbe new union scale. Tbo world's fair people also declined to arbitrate as to whether none bnt nonunion men shall be employed on the grounds. Of tho l.oOQ carpenters employed, about seven hundred are hired by tbe exposition company, and alou eight hundred by the contractors, Tho strike, if it occurs, will involve the

men employed by the exposition company aud tho.:e employed by such contractors as have not signed the union scale. Mr. Cogswell says: "Tho world's fair people say that the strike will have little etlect so f ar as they are concerned: that their work is so advanced that anybody who can drive a nail oan finish it. aud that men to take the places of any who strike will be plenty. There is in this city an association of carpenter bosses, known as tbe Carpenters' and Builders' Association. It has an, agreement with the carpenters' union by which itagrees to employ none but union men. and it is provided in this agreement that the carpenters employed by members of the association shall not strike during the year all matters upon which trouble might arise being covered by the agreement between tbe two bodies. As the association includes nearly nil the big carpenter contracts in Chicago, the number of men at the fair who are free to strike is not large. To-night the association declined to allow any of tho men under agreement with them to go out. This confines the strike to such contractors as have not sigued the agreement with the union about 1,200 men in all. The Hold Supply. To the Editor et the induuiapolls Journah It is sad that an old, unassuming, more or less quiet citizen cannot expose a few "hat-money" fallacies without being thought a "financial doctor" or a "goldhug crank" by somebody, but ose can very well endure the latter title when it is bestowed npon him in common with the greater portion of mankind. For, unpleasant though the fact may be to the silvermine owners, etc., gold is tbe standard in most European countries, and is apparently becoming more generally adopted abroad. This seems to be done, not in consequence of a conspiracy, of bankers and capitalists to fleece and oppress the "working classes," but for the plain prosaic reason that gold is tbe best and steadiest of all substances for the purpose. Writers are by no means agreed as to whether the output of gold is likely to be sufficient for some time to come to supply the world's needs, but every man not blinded by prejudice can eee by simply looking around him that the world's iinancial system is in very good workiog order, and only a few months ago our Democratic and Populist friends were tilling the air with their howls about tbe great increase of wealth in this country. Now. new towns and cities do not "rise like exhalations," wealth does not increase beyond anything ever known in any age or any land, when the currency is disordered or iusullicieut in consequence of the scarcity of gold. Mr. Lincoln used to tell a story about not crossing Fox river until we get to it. Would it not be well for us to defer worrying about tbe gold supply till there is tar more obvious lac It of it than is now apparent! J..D. liuwi. Pendleton, March 3.

"139 Unfortunates Held Captive in the Palaco at Pekiii." The " Talaco of Earth's Rerosen is where the Empress of China holds her court and rules over tho imperial harem, whoso only glimpse of tho outside world is what they can sea in the imperial flower-garden. The present young emperor, in addition to his seven lawful concubines, has already no 'less than ono hundred and thirty others in -his harem. H. O'Shea's article, in the illlustrated American. Such is tho life of the most highly favored of Chinese women prisoners within the palace walls they eke out an existence in real alavery. American, women know no slavery but that which depends on themselves. Sometimes thev are overworked run-down, weak and ailing then is the Umo to turn to the right medicine. The ono who takes Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription emancipates herself from her weakness and becomes a stronger and a happier woman moro than that a healthy one. For all the weaknesses and nibneats peculiar to womanhood, Favorite Prescription " is a i)ositivo remedy. And because it's a certain remedy, it's made a guaranteed one. If it fails to benefit or cure, in any case, ycu get your money back. Can you ask moro f The American Newspaper Publishers' Association, of which this paper is a member, has a standing offer of a gold medal, valued at $50, to bo awarded to any ono who invents any mechanical device whereby tho process of producing newspapers is cheapened, or that will bo in any way a benefit to publishers.
