"Wn.MiNCT.tv, Del., April President Cleveland, Secretary Gresham and Senator White spent a very quiet day at Mr. P.ayard's home, I'elaraoro place, and. save for a stroll this morniug around the grounds surrounding the comfortable old homestead, they remained in-doors until .'J:(X o'clock this afternoon. At that Lour they finished their hmr.heon and the family car riage, or drag, w as Lrouzbt to the front door. Mr. Ilayard and Secretary Gresham took the driver s seat, and the former held the reins oyer th two chestnut bays with docked tails. President Cleveland and Senator White aat on the peats bohind and faced each other. There spat run lengthwise of the carriage, which cm accommodate six in addition to thoe on the driver's eat. Mr. llayard at once touched the horses with the whip and the pr.rly started in a westerly direction lor a drive. As they started Mr. (Ire.-ham turned his head, took a cigir from hia mouth and resumed a story, which he had evidently been telling at the lunrheou table, lie began by paying: "I wan jn.ft going to tell 70U about that other" the president was smiling, the entire party appeared to be in tu bet oi humor. Several of the men who had been waiting around the bouse to calci a glimpse of the party lifted their hats, and the salute was returned by the president. As the party left the house Mr. iayard was again ajked whether there waa any Hnkieance attached to the visi;. He replied that there was not, and that the gen tit men had merely come here ior a day's rest, which they were getting. The drive extended along the romantic Brandy win-? and back through the city. At Ninth and Market-sts. the ambassador to Km? and pointed out his taw office and the old Bayard mansion, and one 'square beynd Ninth and Shipley-sts. the party viewed the federal building, which ia in course of erection. The drive lasted just one hour and a halt and at ü o'clock the party tooit dinner. This evening was quietly spent in Mr. Bayard's cosy library. There were no cadt-rn during the evening ind no one was invited by Mr. Bayard to neet the president. It was expected that the distinguished risitors would atiend services in Old ?wede' pro'estant episcopal church this morning and several thousand persons surged arouud the gates ot the old church yard. None of the Bayard family or their guests, however, aDDeared. ()d Swede-' church was built iu Ji.'.'S and the Bayard family are regular attendants. It is probably the oldest church in use in thn country. The father, mother, lirst wife and Other relatives of the ex secretary of state re buried in tne adjoining cerrrterr. Mr. Hayard said thia atternoon that he would eaii for Lngland in about a month. "I will have to go about then," he remarked, "and will place my Wilmington residence in charge of a friend." The ambassador wid be accompanied by hi-i wife and in Bondon will probably be joined by the two daughters, who are now in Sweden. The presidential party will leave for Washington at S o'clock tomorrow morning in Vice-Preeident Thompson's private rar. which will be attached to the southern last mail. The train will arrive at the national capital at 10: 4 5 o'clock. WHAT THE SENATE MAY DO. Ad Adjournment Kxperted Soon Place Vet to M tilled. Washington, April 9. The senate has practically concluded its labors and ia now waiting for an intimation from the president to bring the extraordinary session to a close. All idea of passing upon the questions involved in the appointment of the three senators from the northwest has been abandoned, and that matter will be left for disposal at the next session. The reasons for this coarse are: t. That aiaoy Mnilon are tili nndscidsd tew to vote upon tbs proposition involved. 2. Many other desire to adJia a full seaate. 3. Tbt final and eoncloaive reason that P era is oot a votiog quorum in the city at present It ia said that about Tuesday the senate will appoint a committee to wait upon the president and ask whether he has further business to lay before that body. It ia assumed by the senators generally that the only really important matter that remains to be communicated is the nomination of the court of appeaia of the District of Colombia, for, nnlesi this court ia filled before tho adjournment, there is likely to be a deadlock in the district judicial business. Although the impreasion prevails that nearly all tba foreman missions have been filled, the records disclose the fact that no nominations have yet teen made to twenty of these ianaortant el&cea. The list is : Argen-

tine Republic, Bolivia. Brazil, China. Colombia, Fquador, liayti, Hawaii. Italy, liussia, Corea, Liberia. 1'araguay and I'ruguay.l'erila, Portugal, San Domingo, Siam, Sweden and Norway, Turkey and Venezuela. Most important of these is, perhaps, Kuss'a; and it is ßurmiped that the delay in making a chaugo there arises from a desire to await the possible action of the Uusian government raising tha (trade of its Washington mission to an Cmbassy, which will admit of the nomination of another ambassador by the president in that case. I tut in the majority oi thee caes there is no good reauon why the places cannot be li.led by appointment eubjct to confirmation when the senate meets again next pe?ion. and thereforo the impression prevails at the capital that the present nation will adjourn somo time this week.

About 4 o'clock .Mrs. Netta K.tnsford, editor cf t ho ,"'. ) i '!tr, whos home is in the Windsor blok. had Home bn-ine-in the rooms of tfte'ueen I'.iiier chapter, which nre located on the fourth lioor of the Masonic building.

Iurin? her absenc' some one bad used the elevator and it was on the floor above her. She reached for the cab e, and after taking bold of it, leaned far out to eee wlu-rn the elevator ws. The long distance to the ground made her dizzy, and iu tome manner ehe lost her balance and ptarted to fall. Presence of mmd Eaved her, however, from a horrible death. The cable wua banging by her Fide, and in a moment khe grasped it with both bandd and started at a frightful rate of ppeed for tho bottom. There was a drop of probab.y twenty feet, and for a moment she bung iup'.'nded in the shaft forty feet from the ground. To release her hold meant in-taut death, and realizing her por-ition. she clung to the wire catde for dear life. l'resently the rope began to ßlip through her band and she again descended toward the bottom at terrific speed. Faster and filter became her descent until she feared that she would no longer cling to her frail support. The cable passing through her hands burned and tore them to the bone, yet ehe Ciung to iL until the bottom wa reached, where t-ho fed exhausted and was foun t shortly afterward in an unconscioua condition. Kcstorative were applied, after which she waa removed to her koine and Dr. Comba was called. Aside from the terribly mutilated condition of her band and a badly bruised body ehe escaped injury.

The recent decisions f Judges Tuft and Pick in Ohio and peer in (leoririi in relation to the rL't.tn an l duties of railroad employes came up in the penate b'tiay in connection with a resolution instructing the cinr:,itteo on interstate commerce to inquire into that and other subjects, and quite a lonir and interesting debate reSiilU' i, which had not closed when tho senate adjourned. The remarks of Senators tlorniuti and Voorhees as to the eifert of thoHo dedsiouH bc-iu to convert railroad employes into er!s and galley s'aves were criticised by Mr. Piatt as intemperate and an merely intended to excite the passions of the laboring man. A resolution for a co;umittea to wait on tho president and inform him that the penate wim ready 1 1 adjourn sine die was oll'ered and agreed to without qu -Btion; but fiubequ"nt;y a motion to reconsider wa ma in by Mr. Hoar and entered, to be c-tiled up bereifte'.

Mr. Hoar presented tho petition of Joneptt V. Ady for an investigation of the election of 1. S. nenator from the statu of Kuue.id. Referred. Ir. (iormnn'n Views. Mr. tiorman took the lead in the discussion oi the relations between labor and capita'. He paid that one matter to be inliuired into was the recent decisions of C S. judges, and whether, in view of the interstate commerce law and of the antitrust law, judges had a rijrht to determine not only wh:it a railroad employe should do, but what he should not do. Those decision) were the lirst irrest s'ep on the part of the judiciary to make serfs of the men who were employed by railroad corporations. The recent judicial decision that railroAd employes muht be restrained by an order of the court, mizht be fined and imprisoned if tliev resigned their poeitions, was a most extraordinary decision ; and one that had to bo met at the very threshold oi the next conereHS. It ou:ht to be inquired into carefully by men wtio have but one motive, ami that was to e (while protecting the interests of commerce) that no injustice was done the individuals an 1 that the courtsof the I'nited States should not bn arrned with power as arbitrary a those of the czar of Pussis. Mr. Piatt pp.id that he had not yet seen in the decision referred to anything that looked like usurpation of power by the courts, or that looked like degrading the workmen of the country to the condition of serfs. He believed that the ernplayea cf railroads had no more riht to engage in discriminations of commerce than their employers had. And he did not believe that there was anything either in the interstate commerce net or in the anti-trust that was not analiirmation of well-considered and well-established commoniaw. Senator Voorhees Talks. Mr. A'oorhaes said that the mo?t dangerous question that the country was facing today wa.. the encroachments of corporations, with their power of coliosal wealth, ajrainst those who were helplessly in its power, and whom it wanted to have chained to their labor as completely as the galley slave was chained to his oar. This power claimed that the railroad employe was enlisted aa a private soldier, and if he left his pot he was to be punished as a deserter. He had therefore felt it his duty to introduce a resolution directing an inquiry as to wbat action might be necessary for the better protection of the laboring people of the I'nited States in their natural and inalienable rights and for their greater security from the encroachment of corporate power. Nobody pretended. Mr. Voorhees ndded, that a railroad engineer could leave bis engine, endangering a trstn of can and endangering the lives of its pasSingers. Put that was not ad that was contemplated in .the interstate commerce law. That law said, in plain terms, that he could not alone, and in an orderly wav. sever his connection from a corporationt ; hat lie was enlisted to stay and WSJ to be punished as a deserter if he did not stay, lie thought that the comliiittee on interstate commerce could not be better employed than ia investigating this dangerous question. Tim Roach. Ce. It may be that the Iloach caee will be the cause for a failure of the senate to adjourn as early as it was expected last week. At a meeting of the committee on privileges and elections Saturday, it waä un aratood that tha eououiiliaa would ha

tiou of Mr. Hoar, so as to provide that the committee should, during recess, make ! a preliminary invetiation into the Roach case and report to the senate at tho next sesbion whether or not there were grounds sufficient to justify them in poing into the ca?e on its merits. AVhi'e no stipulated agreement appears to have been made, thero was it is said, an understanding it accordance with which Mr. Hoar this morning introduced his resolution which carries out the plan above nuggaated. In order that the Powers case might stand on the same footing, Mr. Chandler also introduced a resolution bearing upon it and in precisely the same words. MORE NOMINATIONS EXPECTED.

THE STRIKE

I World's Fair Laborers Will Work Today For the Same Hours and Pay as Formerly. UNION ANDNON-UNION MEN To Bs Entitled to Equal Consideration. Was a Close Call for the Great Exposition. The Ilesult Due to n Conference Hetiveen Itcpresentatives of the liftborfnjj Men and tho "World's Fair Council of Administration The Striker Not 'li lie Discrlmlniitctl Against Because of the Trouble. Chicago, April 10. The great strike at the world's fair is a thing of the past and the men who waiked out this morning will walk back a?ain tomorrow morning, and ninety-nine put of every hundred will work for the same hours and same pay they received before they struck. For the first time since its inception organized labor came ejuarely in contact with the U. H. government, and while all questions of wages were satisfactorily settled, the right of the employer to hire non-union or union men, the right of men to be in the ranks of organized labor or without them, was insisted upon by the national representatives and acknowledged by the union men themselves. Something at Make. For twelve hours today the results of the painstaking expenditure of more than Sl'O.OtKVOO, tiie good name of a mighty nation and its pledges to the nations of tho earth, were imperiled and endangered, while men who reaped the benefits of the expenditure of that money argued with the men who controlled over a ijuestion of 5 cents an hour and the rights of men to think and act aa they please within the law. It took cool heads and temperate blood to guide the dispute to a peaceful issue, but tho heads were there, the blood was not wanting, the great white city will be ready for its guests at the time and in the manner which were promised nt its birth. It was 10 o'clock tonight when the meeting between the council of administration end the representative, of the building trades council came to an agreement which ia to continue throughout the entire period of the exposition, and under which further trouble was impossible. The men have received the formai concession of a minimum rate of wspes and hare yielded to the demand of the exposition officials that they may employ any man, whether he he or be not a member of any labor organization. A f roAition Submitted. The first etep looking toward peace was made tKis afternoon w hen a committee of the strikers was appointed to submit to the world's fair council of admin.etration the following proportion : That if tha world'a fair council will agree to ubnnt the ditiereccea between tha tuen and the exposition to arbitration at 4 p. id., April 12, the buildiug aud trades council will order tlin men back to work at once pending the result of arbitration. Tha building and trades council b:ri'i itself to abide Ly the decision of the arbitrators. One arbitrator to be selected by t'ie building and trades council, on by the world's fair management, and a third by these two. This proposition waa submitted to the council of administration us the labor men's ultimatum. The council of administration was in session and promptly returned an answer that it was prepared to meet the men at once. The matter must be settled eoon it could be settled then as well as at any other time. To this the committee agreed, and the result waa a meeting which for long hours went over all the aspects of the case, with but two bhort adjournments, one by each tide, for consultation. The It-solut ion. At 10 o'clock tonight the council of administration presented to the executive committee of the strikers the following resolutions, which were preceded by a short preamble setting forth the existence of the strike : Resolved, Jn the employment of workman or artisan in the several tradea repreaented by said executive committee for the performance of work ucdrr the direct charge and supervision of tüe world's Columbian exposition, repräsentatives of union or organoid labor shall be entitled to equal consideration with those of non-union, and that the workmen heretofore employed by this exposition company who who have this day gooe out uu strike, shall not be refused employment hereafter on that account, it beieg the express purpose of the council that organized labor, aa auch, shall not be discriminated against; and, Resolved, Further, that there shall be paid to every artisan so employed by the exposition company at least the minimum rats of wages prescribed for the trade ia whieh he is employed; and llesolved, That an authorized representative or deiei'ate of each of said tradea (hall be furnished with a pass en tiding him to free admission to the grounds and shall hare the right to confer with the workmen of his trade at all times, provided such conference ahull not materially interfere with or retard the work. Kesolved, farther, That the concessions made in and ty the foregoing resolutions, are so toade with tha distinct understanding that they shall be aoiepted by said executive committee as a fall settlement and solution of the preaent controversy; that the men who have gone on a strike shall return to work at once, and that the provisions and st pu.ations of aaid resolntions shall continue In lore and be opperatire during the whole period of the exposition. Clone Call (or the Fair. These resolutions were at once signed by all members of the strikers' executive committee representing the eight or nine thousand laboring men, and the trouble was over. It was a close call for the exposition, not only for its opening, but for its ancceas. The work of the men who struck today is nearly over, and, while they could not have ruined the fair, they ixtiirht, by stopping the work, so hava delayed matters that the exposition could not have been in complete readiness by the let of August. There was great relief expressed by both sides when the thing was over, for the members of the council cf administration and of tha

Ftriker, committee alike tvere fearful of the wetifhtof public opinion which would fall upon the party that oppoed or obstructed the success oi the exposition. What the Strike Meant. The strike today was r.n attempt to unionize tho fair nothing more, nothing less. The labor leaders claimed that the world's fair had not kept faith with them because they had refused to consider the making of a new agreement in the faoe of the fact that the majority of the contractors employed by the expoeition had already made arrangements with the men which wera entirely satisfactory to the latter. Nine out of every ten men who struck today were employed by contractors who were on a friendly footing with them. Two years ago when the labor representatives made demands that none but union men bhould be employod at the fair they were af-ked if they could guarantee " that tho union could iurnisli enough men at all limes to "enable the work to be prosecuted without delay. After taking account of etock they wero forced to confer therosrlvei no't etrong enough to furnish all the men the exposition might rejuirw. TLey were then informed by the national commission that the government could not and would not discriminate against men becaueo they were or were not members of any labor organization. This ended the argument on the union question and the matter wns dropped by common consent. There never was any agreement that none but union men should be employed. Two weeks ago the .labor unions put in their request that non-union men be discharged. It was refuged, and from that time beuan trouble. It is openly hinted, and on the other hand positively denied, that some members of the bö83es' association Lave winked at the strike because there were men on the ground employed at less than the term" required by the bosses'agreement with the building trades council. The men have an ironclad agreement with the bosses binding them not to strike, yet they have struck, and none of the bonnes eeem greatly disturbed over the prospect. The strike is a strike of the labor leaders and not a strike of the men. The vast majority of tho men were unwilling to strike, and only went out when ordered by the delegatee, and most of them very unwillingly. Some Trouhle Stirred t"!. There was some trouble in inducing pome of the men to quit an 1 the walking delegates were compelled to do active missionary work in ordering them oil the grounds. There was trouble, too, during the day and between 8 a. m. and 4 p. in. four men were arrested for fighting and creating trouble. Tho first man to bo arrested was I. Heineman, a striking carpeuter, who interfered with men who were disposed to work. Oswald Weinbuld was r'bo too forcible in his arguments and was taken into custody. John Matthews and William Hughes were arrested for lighting and l.dward Morris for occasioning a small riot, lie was working in the manufacturers' building wb?n ordered by the walking delegate to quit work, and as he packed up his tools said to a man near him : "Why don't you quit, too?" "I don't see it that way," was tho reply. "Thfn you're a ccab." shouted Morris, at the same time calling tho workman a vile name. The next instant he was flat on his back and countless stars were dancing in front of his even. lie rose and mado further remarks and was knocked Hat a second time. A score or more of strikers hastened to his assistance and a large number of non-union men catao to the defense of hia opponent. Clubs and fietsi Hew lively for a lew minutes and matters were rapidly growing eerious when a detachment of the Columbian guards and eouie of the cooler heads among the laboring men succeeded in parting the belligerents. There were eeveral cracked Leads, bloody noses and beautiful blue black eyes, but no eerious injury was done on either eide. The union men were then marched of! the ground, leaving the non-union men in full precession. ROBBED BY BRIGANDS.

An American Mining Man the Victim of Dad Mexicans. t CmnuAiiCA, Mex., April 9. The mineral mule train which arrived here la6t night from the Catopilas mining district in the western part of this state brought the first news of an attack by brigaada made upon an American mining man named L.

Tho Tory Loador Critii Mr. Gladstone nml Iloutp Knie. I.onhon, April 10. There was but a thin attendance in the hcuse of commons odtay when discussion was resumed on the motion for eecond reading of the irisU home rule bill. It wa . not until Joseph Chamberlain eroee thtt tho house assumed an aspect of interest and attention. Mr. Chamberlain said that the "L ill j r poeed to establish a brand new constitution f-jr Ireland. The prime minister it.-?i;ed them, continued Mr. Chamberitiu, when the controversy would hi eettled if the measure fchculd be rejected. The whole juestion was. W"Uid the bill settle tho controversy? Was not Mr. Gladstone in too great a hurry, and waa be not too impatient to deal with tiie Irish diiliculty? A naw era had open? 1 for Ireland with the disestablishment cf the Irish church. Ti;rn tho agrarian question Lad been partly settled. Time ought tobe given to all jw for the beneticial operation of tbee and other measures; but tha prime runieter said that Ireland was still discontented and that no progress toward conciliation had been made. If such was tha case, then tne predictions of the prime minister regarding the measures be had always promoted for Ireland had proven fallacious and threw discredit on similar predictions in regard to the present measure giving Ireland a separate le gislatore. 1 'robably, added Mr. Chamberlain, the people, of F.ngland would accept tho bill if thef believed that it would enable them tt get rid of the Irish question, llear, bear. But he feared it would do nothing of the kind. Mr. Gladstone had disregarded the rights of the minority and treated tho most inliuential and prosperous section of the Irish people with con-, tempt. He proposed to subject that section cf the Irish people to such legislative conditions as would wreck their industries and expose the whole country to financial ruin. Not Ireland alone, but England equally had rea?oa to Jreii the result oi the measure. There was absolutely nothing final about the bill. As soon as an Irish parliament ahould be formed they would require it to be patched up again, llear, hear. Did anybody consider the so-calied safeguard in the bill worth anything if the Iri? h majority w as determined to düregard them? True, the British parliament could enforce them by civil wars, but cot otherwise Conservative cheers. C.Irlit Stolon for Harem. London, April 10.
