On tb first day of "?ast March the coal miners employed at McXencas' mine went out on a strike because t the discrimination against the Knights of -Labor and for an advance in -wages. Mr. Mc'Xenna refused to arbitrate with the Knights .Until Saturday, -when he sent for a committee Cf the Knights of Labor, including Master "Workman Golby, of the Gilllspie Assemby, and agmd to make no discrimination against the Knights of Labor and employ ail the old hands at an increase of wages. The committee immediately communicated the fact to Marter "Worm an M. A. Sullivan, who advised them to 0 back to work, which all the miners did this morning. The St. Louis Eaters' Protective Association yesterday voted to subscribe $25 toward the support of Mrs. Gray, of New York, as a reward for the part she has taken in fighting tke Bakers' Union boycott. Mr. Hoxie's butchers have been asked to refuse to furnish him meat, bat the? say they will continue to do so as long as he wants it. An order has been issued that no knight of Labor shall be employed as road foreman en the Missouri Pacific Replies to letters recently sent by the citiAJ AAA AAA A tXT W MIC A I Uk W- UM VlVi J Missouri Pacific Railroad Company, request-, ing them to take some steps towards a settlement of the strike, haye been received by . the committee. The directors state that the , management of the road is in the hands of : 34r. Hoxte and that they are unable to take any action in the matter. The Citizens 'ommittee met this afternoon and drew up a report which was submitted to Dr. Thomas VKeily, the Chairman of the mass meetinr. The report ..renews the proceedings and actions of the committee since its appointaaeat and expresses regret at their failure to bring about the much desired arbitration. William P. Sears, Millard W. Withers, "Fred Pinkerton, Philip S. BurtS, George Withrowand Thomas Tobin were arraigned ia the Criminal Court to-day on the charge of obstructing street railroad tracks by the t ef dynamite. The defendants are the xoea arrested at the time of the street car strike in connection with the dynamite outrapes. A iary was procured and the taking cf testimony was commenced this afternoon. The statement that Mr. Hoxie's butcher t hw been boycotted by the Knights of Labor for refssiug not to furnish the railroad magjeate with meat, proves o be false. Eat St. Louis Freight Business. East r. Loris, April 19. The Bridge and Tor I ' and the Belt Line Companies have at last et nployed a sufficient number of men to man a 11 of their engines and switches, and . they nov announce their readiness to do all ' the trans, ferring across the river and between . the vario us railroad yards in East St. Louis which rjiay be required. Their inability hitherto ito engage full crews has been the Only imjwdiment to a fall resumption sf operation s by the different roatte, and now that this is removed the freight business on this side if the river has assumed its normal condition. The different roads yesterday - took advantage of the Sunday quiet and sucedd in transferring: all the blockaded freight, w hich had accumulated since the commencement of the strike, and to-day the officials nnonnce "clear tracks and their ability to perform their whole dutv as com jnon carriers. Four companies of the militia that hare been on duty here for some days have been relieved b)' the four companies from Carthage, Deleva n, Farmington and Peoria. Protecting Against Convict Labor. CmcAco, 4pril 19. At the regular meeting of the .Trades and Labor Assembly yesterday Mark i L. Crawford, of the committee appointed to ; wait on members of the County Board, who had the letting of the contract for repairs on the County Court-house, reported that his committee visited the Commissioners havLng the matter in charge and ' protested against the contract being awarded to E. R. Brainercl & Co. on account of their being employers of prison labor, all the stone used by them in their work being cut by convicts at Joliet Pen itentiary. The protest was entered five days too late, as the contract had already been awarded. There was a clause is the contract, .however, prohibiting the ne of convict labor in the repairs. The Committee then called upon Mr. Bramard, and after considerable difficulty, induced him to sign an asrcement with the committee binding fiimself to use none but union labor on the Court-house, and to bid for no more work in this city until he bad got from under the contract from the State, which has become a bur dan to himself. He also agreed not to renew his contract for prison labor. The committee recommended tbat, under this agreement, the various onions be allowed to let their members work on the place. This resolution produced a very stormy debate. The motion to approve the recommendation was lost, but upon reconsideration, the whole matter was laid oyer till the next meeting, in order to give the stone cutters, if they so desire, an opportunity to amend their constitution. Strike of Newsboys. Drrr-rn t, April 19. The afternoon newsboys to-day struck on the Evening News, of tain city, demanding two papers for a cent ' i'ietead of one as heretofore. There are over KO newsboys in front of the News ofSce, and they b etc sctel llc6 111 6 Lr ? lderj whftQ anyone attempted to take out papers. The boy f doing was set upon and his papers torn to pices. Few papers are being sold except frcm the office. The Journal is free from the trouble. The CnJcago Switchmen Chicago, April IX The strike on the Baltimore and Ohio Road has been settled,' tie non-union switchmen asking to be employed !ee here. This was granted and the atrikera returned to work. . An attempt to move a Lake Shore train otcf tie Forty-third street yards this morniff mt with the opposition of the strikers. !e?pit the elÄrt of the police. They set

the brakes and uncoupled the cars, throwing away the links and pins. "The strikers were rn good humor, and maintain their fjiard over the company's property to prevent depredations, says a South Chicago speciaL It is stated that the Lake Shore officials fjropose to make the present strike an absoute issue as to their right to retain their non-union men, and also to aSord them adequate protection. The failure of the town of Lake police to protect their property against the sinkers will be taken as clearly showing that the town can not or will not afford protection, and the Sheriff and Governor in turn will be called on for assistance. This afternoon a train was moved from the yartfs at Twelfth street by means of a ruse on the part of the railroad officials. To accomplish their purpose they held back the regular mail train, then Assistant Yardmaster Brackley started to couple on the caboose. The committee of three switchmen appointed to watch the Twelfth street crossing asked him not to do so. Brackley made the roupliEC. The mail train then

pnlied in behind the freight, and orders were given to Engineer Latter to pull out. This he did, Closely followed by the mail. No effort was made to interfere with the Movement of the train beyond the request made to Blackley, and the committee at Twelfth street aver that they will not countenance any overt acts. They also want it distinctly understood that the Switchmen's Union has nothing to do with the strike. It is the switchmen of the Lake Shore Road that thev represent. The Superintendent of the Lake Shore Company said to a reporter this evening: "We are trving to start our trains, but we have no protection. We have plenty of switchmen, and as fast as they couple the cars they are uncoupled. In numbers they are about six to one against us, as there are details of men sent there to defeat us. All that prevents bloodshed is the fact that we use no force in trying to start trains. This "scab" question is an old one and it is time it was settled, and we propose to settle it this time." It now looks as if the county and State would both be asked for aid. The New York Street Car Strike. Xew Yokk, April 19. With the exception of the Eight and Ninth avenues, the streets on which horse-cars usually run are deserted and quiet to-day. All the railroad men, drivers, conductors and stablemen have con eluded to take a holiday in sympathy with their brethren on the Third Avenue Line. Almost the entire police force of the city has been on duty since 5 o'clock tnis morning. All the street car stables are guarded by detachments of police, and the streets along whioh the lines run are filled with "bluecoats." The employes of the Drv Dock Line state that they quit work because they were ordered to do so by the committee, and not because they had any grievances. The Fortysecond streetcar line men stopped lor tne same reason : in fact, the men on none of the lines, with the exception of the Third Ave nue Line, have any complaints to mate in regard to their hours or pay. The general "tie up" was ordered so as to force the directors of the Third Avenue Line to yield to the demands of the strikers. The men ordered out on a number of the lines feel very bitter over the action of the committee in stopping all cars, and state that "this gen eral tie up business is being run into the ground." About 4:30 this afternoon the Third avenue line started the first of twenty-rive cars they proposed to run over the line. Inspector Byrnes and four men on the platform. At Sixty-fourth street a big fellow rushed out and grabbed the horses by the bits and drew a knife to cut the reins. He had not ac complished his purpose, when Inspector Bvrnes "put him to sleep" with his club. The man was left senseless in the street and the car went on. The next car was driven by a new driver, and when at Fifty-ninth street one of the horses fell on the pavement the . crowds ' of strikers along the walks cheered and jeered in derision. The tumult grew greater, and iinally the crowd began hurling bricks from a new building on the Corner. The windows were smashed and the car demolished. The officers were hurt by missiles. The police then charged the crowd and seventy of them were injured. Eight Drisocers were taken, and in the pockets of two of them were found licenses as drivers of the Fourth avenue line, the men of which road have no grievance and are out because ordered to tie up. The Telegram says that several of the up town ciuds nave niaue up a list 01 1K) fashionable young men of their membership who will to-morrow take out licenses and volunteer to drive cars for the tied no lines. without pay. on the sole proviso that the pnblic shall be allowed to ride free of charge. The Railroad Commissioners spent the en tire day in a series of conferences with the representatives of the Third avenue road and the Strikers' Committee. The strikers presented, finally, a long list of demands, fixing the hours and pay of all the employes of the road in all its departments. obligating the company to take back all the strikers and to discbarge all employes who are now working. ' The company sub mitted a series of propositions, offering after tne men sneuid have returned to wort to submit the questions of hours and pay to ar bitration, but positively refusing to discharge any of the men now -employed, or to employ any more of the Etrikers than was necessary. These terms were not accepted by the strikers, and all attempts to arbitrate the matter were abandoned. The Railroad Commissioners also heard evidence as to what the companies were doing in the way of trying to run cars, aud what the police were doing to assist them. One striker swore that a brother of the President of the Third avenue road had told him that the other roads were to assist the Third avenue in its fight. In answer to this it was stated that his brother occupied a subordinate pol ' 1 .1? , A. 1 1 1 1 ill suiori rnuuiu not Know wnai ne was tailing aDouc jne commissioners will probably render a decision to-morrow as to what is necessary for the Third avenue roaa to do in the premises. Inspector Steers was in charge of the car that was attacked. When the mob made its onslaught the Inspector charged at once with 100 well drilled men, who plied their sticks without stint, driving the mob into the neighboring streets. Eight cars were run over the tracks then to the City Hall and back. The Third Avenue Line propose to-morrew to man and run on schedule time 100 cars. The police say that if the company have drivers and conductors on their cars to-morrow, the cars shall go through and over thisentie line. Sheriff Grant has received formal notice from the Belt Lines stating that acts of violence have been made and that the company will now bold tke city responsible for any damages to property. The Eight flour Qnentioii. Chicago, April 19, The Eight Hour Committee of the Trade and Labor Assembly today issued a circular to all trade and labor associations of Chicago and vicinity announcing that May 1 had been set apart for the general Inauguration of the eight hour sjittm ; that as the Trades Assembly of Chicago was the mot influential body of organized labor west of New York City, it was natural that the working people and public should hold it responsible, in a great measure, for anecew or failure of the eight bonr

movement; that there is a uniform under

standing among the diflerent unions to accept a corresponding reduction of wages, if necessary, to bring the eight hour system into operation, and advising all the trades which have not yet completed their arrangements to elect suitable committees and pre pare lor a mutual support ol the question. Trouble Feared in Baltimore. Baltimore, April 19. There is no change in the strike of the car driyers in this city. It was hoped that an Rrrangement raight be made by which the cars would be run today, but nothing has been done. There was a demonstration this morning when a car on one of the striking lines appe.-red on the Street, but the police promptly interposed and arrested two men, which at once restored quiet. The strikers and the railway companies remain firm. There are but two companies running foil numbers of cars, and the greater part of the people are subjected to serious inconvenience. Shortly after 5 o'clock this afternoon a crowd of about twenty strikers surrounded a car of the Frick line and assaulted the driver and a policeman who was on the car. Several police oflicers were attracted to the scene, and after a rough and tumble fight succeeded in arresting three ot the leaders of the gang, whom they charge with rioting a penitentiary offence in this State. The driver was badly beaten. There were other disorders in difierent parts of the city to day, and it is feared that serions trouble will result unless there is an early settlement of the strike. Strikers Go to Work. Sovth Chicago, April 19. Freight trains in the Baltimore and Ohio yards here were moving up and down with unexampled swiftness this morning, and the way the men threw switches and coupled cars was a surprise, even to themselves. All the strikers went back to work at 7 o'clock, and the non-union men were nowhere to be seen. They will probably be sent out on the road. At present the union men regard them with the greatest favor on account of . their magnanimity in throwing up their jobs yesterday to appease the demands of the organized switchman, and will make no attempts to annoy them. The weakening among the non-union men was caused in a great meas nre by the persuasive powers of the com mittee and the way reinforcements were re ceived by the strikers. Labor 2iote. At the regular meeting of the United Tresbyterian ministers, yesterday, at Pittsburg, a resolution was adopted condemning boy cotting. It is understood that orders have been is sued to tie up all the street car lines in Brooklyn this morning in sympathy with the strikers on the Jsew i ort roads. The striking" longshoremen of the Hoosac Tunnel Dock and Elevator Company, are beaten. Ths work is being done by new hands, and the company is receiving bids to have its work done by contract. Eight hundred employes of the Domestic Sewing Machine Company "Works, at Xew ark, N. J., were yesterday thrown out of work by the sudden shutting down of the factory.. There is a heavy stock on hand. The suspension will probably last two weeks. The men employed in the school furniture factory of A. H. Andrews & Co., Wabash avenue and Adams street, Chicago, struck at noon yesterday. The number of employes is about loo. l be men asked for an increase of 15 per cent., and the company claim that they locked the men out The street car employes in Toronto held a meeting yesterday, at which they decided to make a demand that ten hours constitute a day's work, and that $10 per week be paid them. There will probably be trouble over the matter, as the Superintendent threatens to discharge all of the employes. District Assembly No. 39, Knights of Labor, of Boston, opened iti quarterly convention yesterday, with 700 delegates present. The district comprises GOO assemblies with 50,000. The convention will last three days, and will consider the project of setting the assemblies directly interested in the shoe trade, into a strictly trade district. A special dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa., says: Master Workman Evans, of District Assembly T03, Knights of Labor, Pittsburg, whose headquarters are in Chicago, says that the Knights of Labor of that district will raise $10,000 and perhaps $20,000 for the Southwestern strikers, and will proceed at once to boycott the "Western Union Telegraph Company as the beginning of the Knights of Labor war against Gould. William II. Taylor, President of the Independent Teoples' Labor party of the United States, is tn Chicago, and will söon be joined by other members of the party. They have in View the organization of workingmen into bodies called councils, and the object is to support candidates for office irrespective of party, who have the interest of the wage-workers at heart. The party advocates the eight-hour working day among other things! A WAR CLOUD. A Greek Consul Plotting a Rebellion Troops Sent to the Front. Paris, April 19. Le Temps states that it is rumored that the Greek Consul at Cadia, Crete, with the approval of the Government, has been actively engaged in plotting a rebellion among the people, a majority of whom are Greeks, against Turkish authority, and that the Consuls of the other Powers have asked their respective Governments to interfere to prevent the movement from being carried out. The Greek Government is debating the question of summoning fresh reserves, and making an elfective frontier force of 10,000 men. Greek troops are being pushed to the front as rapidly as possible. M. De Butzo, the Russian Minister to Greece, has departed for Lividia to see the Czar, in "pursuance of urgent orders from his Majesty. A DUtiDtuUhed Visitor. Chicago, April If. Hon. P. L.

St. PArt, Minn., April IL St. Cloud and Sauk Eapids were swept, by a terrible destructive cyclone about 7:30 this afternoon. The first knowledge of the disaster was con tained in the following telegram sent to Mayor Ames from St. Cloud asking for help: To Mavor Ames, Minneapolis: A destructive cyclone passed over St. Clöud and Sauk Bapids late this afternoon. There has been terrible destruction bere. Please send tip all the assistance you can immediately by special tra?n. Send physicians and surgeons. Telegrams to the following effect were received from Sauk Rapids: To Mayor Ames, Minneapolis: Can you send a special train with physicians to this city.' A cyclone passed over the city this afternoon. A great many are believed to have been killed, hut the number Is not yet known, (Signed) 1 Sack Rapide Immediately upon the receipt of these messages preparations were made to respond to the call for help. A train for St. Cloud left at C o'clock. The information at hand is very meager, and sensational reports are current that 100 people were killed. It is believed at least forty persons have been killed and about seventy-five wounded, but it is impossible to get much information as yet. All is excitement, and the streets are filled with excited men and women and children. The disaster is certainly appalling. As nearly as can be learned scores of houses have been entirely wrecked. Tke following physicians were aboard the relief train which left for St. Cloud: Drs. Ames, Kilvington, Freeman, Quinby, L9e, Bunker, Gibson, Hofflin, Allen and Van cleave. The city is full of rumors, and it is difficult to obtain reliable news. The storm struck St. Cloud between the round-house and the freight depot and swept a path Sev eral hundred yards . wide through the city, leveling between 150 and 200 houses. N. H. Clart, a well known lumber man, who lives in St. Cloud, says eighty persons were killed in that city and more than a hundred in jured, many yery seriously. Superintendent 'Wakeman, of the Mani toba Road, says that between thirty and forty persons were killed at Sauk Rapids, a small town on the Manitoba and Northern Pacific Road, a few miles from St. Cloud, and nearly double that number injured. The telegraph wires west of this city are all down, and no news direct from either St. Cloud, ß? Sank Rapids has been received sine '7 o'clock. A terrible thunder-storm passed over Min neapolis and St. Paul about 6 o'clock, and heavy hail-storm followed, though of but short duration. Near Fergus Falls a house was struct by lightning and Clement Crogan and a hired man were severely injured. Several times If Vi a(mr in finnottfli' frr5fv?n people, but so far as learned doing no par ticular damage. The storm is the worst known in the State since 1873, when Koches ter and Elgin were devastated by a tornado, Latest reports from the cyclone give number of killed in St. Cloud, as fifteen, and injured about twenty-five, and at Sauk Rapids fifteen killed, and twenty injured. Another terrific thunder storm is now prevailing here which interferes greatly with wires. The cyclone began about 3 o'clock In the basin of the Masonic Cemetery, forming a Whirlwind about 1,000 feet in diameter. It took most every tree in a circle from the ground, or twisted it off at the trunk. Great stones were torn up and carried along with the wind, moving slowly ia a northeasterly direction. It wrecked the. Catholic Church and several houses in its course across the prairie adjoining the town. It completely demolished John Schwartz's large brick house and scattered fifty or more smaller frame houses like feathers. In most cases nothing was left to mark the site of the dwellings but the cellars. The prairies were strewn with furniture. The freight depot of the Manitoba Road was a total wreck. Cars loaded with freight were blown a mile, and the rails wrenched from the ties. The storm crossed the Mississippi at the Sauk Rapids wagon bridge, which it demolished. Stan son's grist mill was also leveled. From where it swept through the center of the town, taking the best of the business portion, including the Courthouse, hotel, public school, and every important business building in town except Woods' store. The village is virtually wiped out, for a fifth of the buildings in It were leveled. The fatalities in St. Cloud, though great, are not equal in number to those in Sauk Rapids. In every house most all the inmates were mere or less hurt. The dead at St. Cloud, so far as known, are as follows: Fick Juneman, Mrs. Weisman and little girl, a four-year-old son of B. O. Wreski, a seven year-old-son of P. Waldorff, S. A. Young, a railroad man. His brother Willian has both legs broken, and they had to be amputated. An unknown railroad man, S. Vanhorsen, two young chitdren of M. Ceno and a babe of Mrs. Knolls were also killed. The dead at Sauk Rapids, so far as heard from, are: J. Berg, merchant, and his two children; John Kenard, County Auditor; George Lindlev, County Treasurer; two children of C. G. Vood, Edgar Hill, President of the German-American National Bank: Abner Styr, a child of P. Carpenter, and Judge Beaupre, of the Probate Court, were all fatally inj ured. From Sauk Rapids, the storm went to Rices Station, Benton County, demolishing the village and killing or injuring nearly the entire population. The wires are all down, and no definite information is obtainable from there. Nearly all the buildings in St. Cloud demolished by the cyclone, were small frame houses occupied by workingmen who were absent, and only their wives and children in the houses. The pecuniary loss will reach about $00,000 at St Cloud. More damage was done at Sauk Rapids, where the property destroyed was of a more valuable character. It is impossible to ob

tain details from there or Rice's Station tonight. Governor Hubbard to-night received " the following message from State Senator Buckman: Sack Rapim, Minn. Our town is in ruins. cnd us aid. (Sirred) , Bvckmah. Governor Hubbard at once sent messages to the Mayers of all cities and large towns in the State, asking that steps be taken at once to secure money and things needed, and forward them as speedily as possible to Senator Bnckman. for the destitute. A brief dispatch has just been received saying that between forty and fifty bodies have been recovered from the ruins at St. Cloud, and the search is not completed. The town presents a scene of the utmost desolation as seen by the light of flickering lanterns, and the groans of the wounded and lamentations of those who have lost relatives are heartrending in the extreme. Not before laylight will the full eitent of tho havoc be known. -Among the injured is ex-Senator Hnlbnrt, form rely of Bmghamton, M". Y. He is not eipected to live. , St. Pari, April 15, Noon. The reports of the cyclone at St. Clod, Sauk Rapids, Rice station, and other stations in the vicinity last night and early this morning were not exaggerated. At 3 o'clock this morning in the places named, there were forty-nine dead and nearly 200 injured, with many still missing, whose bodies will probably be recovered to-day. Just enough houses are left in Sauk Rapids to form a fringe around the village limits. The debris is not piled in heaps, but scattered far and wide. The sign "Sauk Rapids" in the Manitoba Depot and a basket full of books, were found in Rice Station.

fifteen miles distant. This shows the terri ble power of the storm. . No reports have yet been received from outlying districts, where it is believed great destruction of property and loss of life nave been wrought. The storm extended from Jamestown, Dak., through Minnesota and into Wisconsin. though its most disastrous effects are to be found in the three places first named. The City Council this morning voted $3,000 in cash to aid the cyclone sanerers, and Governor Hubbard dispatched a carload of provisions to 8aak Rapids. The car was accompanied by a Committee of the Jobbers' Union, who will ofier all assistance in their power. Dr. Denslow, who with others went last evening by special train to St. Cloud, re turned this morning. Upon reac'ung St. Cloud, he said, physicians from St. Paul and Minneapolis divided, part going to bank Rapids. Dr. Denslow was on the force to the St. Benedictine Sisters' Hospital, and they were busy until 3 o'clock this morninsr. Fully twenty-five injured Were taken to the hospital alone, and he did not know how many more were cared for in private nouses. Two of those taken to the hospital will verv probably die. One is a woman, who has a broken collar bone; both bones, of the left forearm and both bones of the left leg frac tured, all comminuted, and the pelvis broken an accident seldom chronicled in surgery; her head and face is bruised beyond recognition, vet. strange to sav. the woman is conscious and talked freely, saying her hip hurt some, but otherwise she felt no pain. The other probably fatal case is that of a young lady twenty years old. both legs . being so badly crushed that they had to be amputated midway between the knee and thighs One man lvin in the hospital badly injured, said three oi his children were dead. Another man in the next cot to him responded, saying his wife and three children were killed bv the storm. Three little boys, about six years old, were brought in at midnight, wounded cruelly. A woman was found with a piece of the scalp, large as a man's hand, torn from her head and hanging by shreds. Drs. Denslow and Ritchie shortly after midnight went across to Sauk Rapids to renuer wnat assistance tney could there. Twenty-three dead bodies nad then been found. and doctors from Minneapolis are caring for iu injureu. Bringing in Dead Bodies. Bus Lake, Minn., April 15. Drs. Higbee and Dallister, of Minneapolis, just from Sw Cloud, told an Associated Press reporter that . new bodies were being recovered from the debris and being brought in from the country in the track of the tornado. , Twelve injured people were brought in, several of whom will die. Druggist Scudabert's remains had just been found. He had only been in the city two weeks. Four have died of their wounds since morning. At a church east of Rice's Station thirteen of a wedding party were killed, including me oiuciaiing minister. . At Sauk Rapids thirty-one are already dead. The list will be swelled to forty. Dr. Ames, of Minneapolis, who is on duty at St. Cloud, told Dr. Dallister that at least thirty deaths can but result from the visitation there. Of Interest to Cattlemen, St. Loris, April 13. The Rural World will publish a letter to-morrow from Dr. Paul Paquin, State Veterinarian of Missouri, who is now in Paris studying under Pasteur and his colaborers on the various contagious diseases of Europe which we have in America. The letter is one of great interest to those who have given any thought to pleuropneumonia, in that the Doctor expresses the conviction that remedial efforts are of no" avail when once the disease has become seated. He says: "In contagious pleuropneumonia, which threatens the vast stockraising interests of the United States, no other treatment should be employed, in my humble opinion, than preventive ones, for&s it has been so often demonstrated, the disease can rarely, if ever, be cured by medicine, and this certainly favoring the spread of it to attempt such treatment Of the preventive measures which have been recommended and criticised, two, and only two, in my humble opinion, should be employed oue, innoculation; the other, the slaughtering of every diseased animal." Dr. Paquin seems, from the tenor of his letter, to be thoroughly convinced of the usefulness of innoculation, and of its efficiencyan opinion which, as yet, has.hardly found favor with the leading authorities in this country, out rather the reverse. The letter is pregnant with suggestive points, and will be read with interest by veterinarians and cattlemen. Tennessee's New Senator. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 16. The news of the appointment of Ex-Congressman Whitthorn, of Tennessee, to the Senate, was received here with much surprise by the Tennessee delegation. Governor Bates, who made the appointment, was committed to appoint no one who would stand in the way of his going to the Senate next year. That Whitthorn was never knoTn to aspire to the position at the expiration of Senator Jackson's term, it seems strange that Bates could have made a bargain with him to kt pout of the race before the legislature.

HIS MIND MADE UP.

A Settled Fact That the President Is to Be Carried in Jure. Colored Citizens Who Waat to Emigrate to Liberia The Kentucky Delegation and the Louisville Postoffice Want of Harmony Note. Special to the Sentinel. "WA6HIKGTOJT, April 18. There is no longer a doubt but what the President will be married in June. All his friends agree that he would have been very, prompt-to deny the story of his marriage, coming in as positive a form as it has in the last week or ten days, if he had not fully made up his mind on the subject. He has kept the secret very well even from his most intimate associate?. It is understood that the engagement took place during Miss Folsom's last visit to "Washington. If Mr. Cleveland is married at the White House in June it will be the second marriage of a President during his term of office. Mr. Tyler was married while he was President, but his marriage took place in New York. There have been a number of mairiages at the White House of members of Presidents' families. The last marriage was that of Nellie Grant and Mr. Sartoris. It is understood that the coming wedding will be a very quiet one if it takes place in June, as the members of Mr. Cleveland's family in New York seem to think it will. The best portrait of Miss Folsom now in Washington is a large one which hangs in the President's bedroom. Miss Folsom was very averse to giving a sitting to the photographer when fche was here, and has a great horror of publicity. When she was in Washington last a number of paragraphs were printed about her school life, which she traced to one or two of her school friends. She quarreled with them for it It is said that she went to Europe so as to be out of the range of possi ble gossip and criticism during the engagement period. It is said that Miss Folsom expected the engagement would become known, as the fact was known to the Cleveland family in New York soon after her departure from Washington from her last visit to the White House. Want to Emigrate. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 18. Senator Coke presented yesterday in the Senate a petition from colored citizens of Trinity County, Texas, for an appropriation to enable them to emigrate to Liberia.

The Louisville Postoffice. Special to the Sentinel. Washixgtox, April 18. The Louisville Postoffice affair is yet the topic of con versa tion among Kentuckians. It is alleged that the various Postoffice Inspectors who have visited the office, within the last year say it is one of the worst managed offices in the United States, and upon this ground, if for no Other, the Louisvillians asked for the change. On this question there is a difference of opinion between Messrs. Beck and Willis and the rest of the Kentucky delegation. The two gentlemen also "recommended Mrs. Thompson for reappointment, and say that the Inspector's reports were cooked up; that the charges against Mrs. Thompson are false in every particular. When it became known that these charges of inefficiency had been filed. Senator Beck and Mr. Willis asked the Postmaster General for a copy of them. They proposed to so answer these charges that the department, instead of opposing Mrs. Thompson's reappointment, would immediately remove the Postoffice Inspector. Mr. Vilas, much to the surprise of the Kentuckians, refused to furnish them a copy of the charges. Thereupon these gentlemen made a formal demand for the papers, which was also met with a refusal. Since that time there have been several lively passages between Senator Beck and Mr. Vilas, and the two Kentuckians do not visit the Postoffice Department any more. Donned His War Paint Special to the Sentinel. Waseimgtok, April 18. The Labor Conimitee is not surrounded with' the peace that should characterize those engaged in the laudable enterprise of adjusting the difficulties between laborers and employers. For some time there has been a feeling not altogether friendly between the charman of the committee, Mr. O'NeilL and Mr. Foran, oi Ohio, whp aspired to the chairmanship of the committee, and is one of the prominent labor leaders of the West. Mr. Foran, for some reason, has been, for the past few days, possessed of a desire to call Mr. O'Neill to account for certain reflections cast upn him inreference to matters having taken place in the committee room. Mr. Foran propses rising to a question of privilege, jit which time he says he will tell the House that Mr. O'Neill, though championing the Labor bill, was not its author, and until the evening before it was presented to the House loudly favored the passage of a bill providing for compulsory arbitration. The truth is Mr. Crain, of Texas, is the author of the bill, and the person who was instrumental in having a Voluntary Arbitration bill substituted for a compulsory one. Mr. Foran thinks Mr. O'Neill is making himself too prominent at this expense of the com

mittee, and it is his intention to clip his wings. Mr. Foran alleges that the cause fer Mr. O'Neill's absence from the House, which has continued for some days, is that he is afraid to face the music ot an exposure. Secretary Lamar's Trip. Special to the Sentinel. "Wathiköton, April 18. Secretary Lamar has gone to Georgia on a trip which he announced beforehand was private and social rather than political in its objects. It has not taken the gossips long to make that out a wedding, too, and to award him one of his early sweethearts, now a widow and living at Macon, Ga. He went straight to Macon from here, and although he has relatives of his name living there, it was not thought for a moment that he had gone to see them only. Secretary Lamar is naturally so gallant and such a universal admirer ot the fair sei that it has not occurred to people that he was making his admiration special in any case. When he promenaded at the Minister's ball with Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts, many remarked at the time upon the tdvisability of such a- match for the Mississippi statesman, but talk has never gone beyond suggestions or a humorous remark at the time. If gossips be right and the President and Secretary Lamar both go the matrimonial way this season, Attor ney General Garland will be driven by force Of example to doing the same thing, and even perhaps to buying a swallow tail coat and mixing among his fellows. Secretary Manning has astonished every one by making great strides toward recovery, and it is now really believed that he will be back to his department within a few weeks. The shock of his stroke was such that nearly every one outside gave his case up as hopeless, when the gravify of the situation was known, but some members of bis family, it is said, were most hopeful from the start, and were not able to appreciate the danger at alL

The Coming Campaign. Special to the Sentinel. "Washington, April 16. Wiliam Walter Fhelphs has left Washington to go to Augusta to consult with Mr. Blaine. Mr. Phelps' departure was known to but few of his political associates. Senator Hale happens by chance to be in Maine at this time. It is understood that he will be in Augusta when Mr. Phelps arrives there. There is a good deal of curiosity about the object of this consultation. Some of Mr. Blaine's friends say he is very much interested in the coming congressional campaign, and that he is very anxious to have the Republicans carry the next House. The labor troubles and the consequent depression of business are all. he thinks. against the party in power. The indifference of the Democrats and the lack of sympathy between the President and his party are also factors to be considered in the coming elections. If the Republicans' can carry the next House they feel confident they can carry the next Presidential election. . The House to be elected Tiay( FoTT wflT haaa a..tl...l 41. . A av.Aa a cm a nui ua V lUü lAJUUliAXlg VI UAltr XJCA I Presidential vote. If the election is close the party which controls the House will have the advantage. More than this, if the Republicans carry the next House it will be considered a most severe set back to this administration. With the solid Vote of the South 110 Democratic members can be elected. It ought to be easy for the administration to carry the fifty odd votes in the North necessary to secure a majority in the House. The Republicans have already begun their canvass, and the fact that Mr. Blaine is summoning his old lieutenants to confer with him at Augusta shows that he is intending to take an active part in this campaign. Indignant Kentuckians. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 19. The indignation Which has so violently broken out In the city of Louisville over the re-appointment of Mrs. Thompson as Postmistress, has permeated the entire State of Kentucky outside of Louisville. Senator Beck is held responsible for the appointment and from the present state of the political pulse the Senator is now serving his last term in the Senate, and when that expires he will retire to the shades of private life unwept and unhonored by the hundred thousand brave Kentuckians, who in the past were only too glad to do him reverence. Senator Blackburn who opposed the appointment has 6ince Friday received numerous telegrams saying that nothing will be left undone in the future to accomplish the overthrow of bis colleague. Those who are worked up to the highest possible pitch say that no candidate for Representative in the next Legislature can receive the indorsement of the people unless pledges are first made to vote against Senator Beck in the next election for United States Senator. Don't Like His Style. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, April 13. Advices have been received that the Argentine Republic has written this Government to have recalled Minister Bayless W. Hanna. It is alleged in the request that Mr. Hanna is not acceptable to the people there, and they can not accustom themselves to his frank and generous methods. The request can be construed into meaning they want a dude or some one who knows more society and less about business. The generous methods of the Wabash are evidently not as highly appreciated as they should be. Whether any action by the StateDepartment will be taken is not yet known Vecexnelan Treaty Big Claims. Special to the Sentinel. Washiitgtox, April 15. The Senate, in executive session to-day confirmed the Venezulean treaty. They also took up the celebrated Weil and La Abra claims, which have been before Congress for seven years. The original claims aggregated over $1,170,000 and judgment iu that amount against the Mexican Government was rendered in 1S7.". Since 1S70 Congress has been investigating these claims because of suspected fraud. Today Senator Morgan made a long speech in favor of the claims, and Senator Yoorhees spoke against them. The debate was not concluded. Senator Evarts, who was interested in cases when Secretary of State, wilt probably be heard.
