The annexation of Pondoland has been affected without firing a shot, Tho chiefs and people of the newly annexed country arc quietly submitting. This is another triumph for the so-called Imperial policy of tho Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the premier of Cape Colony, and is tho most important addition to the British domain in SouthAfrica. For eight years past Pondoland has been under an alleged protectorate, which was the causo of considerable friction.

VICTORY FOR ORGANIZED LABOR.

An Important Decision in the Union Pacific Wage Case. At Omaha, Thursday, Judge Caldwell, of the United States Circuit Court, handed down a decision in the long ponding Union Pacific wago schedule case, In which ho ruled that tho receivers had no right to reduce tho schedules without consultation with the employes. Fair wages must bo paid even if the road does not earn dividends. In the long legal opinion this declaration of the court stands out most prominently: A corporation is organized capital; it Is capital consisting of money ana property. Organized labor is organized capital; it is capital consisting of brains and muscle. What it is lawful for one to do it is lawful for tho other to do. It is lawful for tho stockholders and officers of a corporation to associate and confer together for the purpose of reducing wages of its employes, or of division of some other meansof making their investments profitable; it is equally lawful for organized labor to associate, consult and confer with a view to maintain and increase wages. Both act from the prompting of enlightened selfishness, and the action of both Is lawful when no illegal means aro used or threatened.

RIOTS GALORE.

Climax of the Troubles In the Pennsylvania Coke Regions. The troubles of tho past week in the Pennsylvania coke regions came to a climax, Wednesday. Strikers attacked tho works of tho 11. C. Frick Coke Company at Connollsville. Tho doputies on guard fired. The strikers pressed on and killed Chief Engineer Paddock, boat him and crushed his head with stones. 'Hearing M Paddock’s murder hundreds volunteered to avengo his death, Tho pursuing party, In command of county detective Frank Campbell, overtook the strikers half a mile from Davidson arid opened lire upon them* The strikers lired In return, but ran on. Three strikers fell, one being killed instantly, shot through £he body, and two others wero fatally wounded. Another of the strikers, who got the start of tho main body, was shot by a deputy. lie was also killed Instantly, tho ball penetrating his neck. A dispatch from Uniontown, Thursday, April 5, says: At 10 o’clock to-day the dead bodies of eight Hungarians were found in a woods near Dawson by some boys who wore going across the (fields to school. The men were found lying In different sections of the woods, and all had bullet holes through their bodies and wero more or less beaten np. Whore they came from, or by whom thoy were killed is yet a question, and tho discovery is tho sensation of the day in the coke region. It is supposed they were shot yesterday afternoon by dopntlcs during an attack on tho Broadford works, and crawled out Into the woods to die. In the conflict at these works there were volleys of shots fired,

and one Hun was killed outright during the attack. The bodies found have been identified as members of this mob. They are Still lying in the woods, and the authorities refuse to care for them. Tho general feeling among the more intelligent strikers Is that they cannot win against so much feeling stirred up against them by yesterday’s troubles, together with the unpropitious timo for a strike. The foreign element, however, are nothing daunted and any further bloodshed will be caused by them. The region was quiet last night, so far as rioting was concerned, but the spread of the day’s work at Davidson caused great excitement. At all the plants where work is being attempted the strikers are gathered in large numbers. At Mt. Braddock, the famous Hill Farm mines and Rainey’s Moyer works, there are several hundred strikers gathered about waiting for an attempt to operate the plants. Deputies are at all the plants armed with Winchesters.

THE COMM ON WEAL.

Eastward the Star of Coxey Takes Its Way. Scenos and Incidents Along The Lines of March—Notes. The commonwealers had rather uncomfortable time at Pittsburg. Tuesday night at least forty “veterans” were locked up as vagrants in the city prisons. Wednesday several received workhouse sentences. Thirty new recruits were enrolled. An attempt by the “army” to parade the streets of Pittsburg during Wednesday was headed ofl by the police and the procession was compelled to return to camp. Notwithstanding this, however, an immense mass meeting was held on the Monongahela wharf. Coxey and Browne made their customary speeches. The army attempted to go to the Palaco Theater, Wednesday night, where Coxey was booked for a speech, but was again headed off by the police and returned to camp. The commonwealers broke camp at Ex position Park, Pittsburg, Thursday, and resumed their march. About 300 men were in line. At Homestead an escort of 500 men mot the army and headed by the Homestead Steel Works band they paraded the streets and marched to the circus grounds where the camp was pitched and the dinner served. Kirtland, Johnson and Her, the men who were induced to go upon a dime museum stage at Pittsburg were summarily dismissed from the army. Coxey said: “We will have no dime museum freaks in this aggregation.” The march of Friday was from Homestead to Rcynoldton, Pa. A stop of two hours was made at Btiqucsne, whore a reception was given by local trade organizations with bands. A dinner was fur-’ nished by tho citizens. Tho route from Homestead was by the river road and was rough and tiresome. The army of the Commonweal arrived at Brownsville. Pa., at 7 p. m., Sunday, and wont into camp 294 strong. Ten thousand weary watchers awaited their arrival. The feeling among the people was favorablo to the crusade but no recruits were received. The camp was made in Bracebridge Hall in tho center ol tho town.

NOTE 3. Two hundred of Frey’s men were offered work at St. Louis at §1.50 a day, laying water mains. They refused, saying they were not thero to dig mud, but were going to Washington to force legislation in their behalf. A second brigade of Coxeyites left Los Angeles, Monday, two hundred strong. They are now camped in Orange county. The citizens have refused any aid. Gen. Frey’s contingent of the industrial army will have to walk east from St. Louis. Tho railway authorities have united in a refusal to furnish transportation. Frey’s men marched to Collinsville, Thursday. Gen. Frey’s industrial army in camp al Collinsville, a suburb of East St. Louis, wore ordered out of the city limits, Friday, by the Chief of Police. Tho General accepted the situation and “got a move” on his men and marched to a point on the Collinsville pike outside of the city limits whero they went into camp to await dovelopements. —Oakland; Gah; was in a tnrmollof excitemcnt, Thursday night, caused by the regiment of men which had been organized at San Francisco to join Coxey. Thero were 040 desperate men in tho organization who refused to leave tho city. At midnight a consultation was held between tho mayor, sheriff and chief of police,and it was decided to drive the “industrials” from tho town. Twelve hundred citizens were sworn in as deputies and at 2 o’clock a general alarm was sounded. Things looked ominous until 3:20 a. m., when Loader Kelly gave orders and the “army” at onco marched to the railway station where a freight train had been provided to transport them to Sacramento, where they arrived at noon, Friday. Great indignation was expressed at .Sacramento because of the action of the Oakland authorities. The army was increased to 1,000 men at Sacramento. Vigorous measures wero at once inaugurated, and at 5 o’clock the army again started eastward in twenty freight cars. A car load of unemployed men to the number of forty arrived at Washington from Cincinnati. Sunday. Thoy were promptly arrested as vagrants and locked up. Capt- Primrose, their leader, may find himself in serious trouble. There is an old law on the statuto books, which was passed in 1830 and has never been repealed. which makes it an offense to bring to the District of. Columbia any destitute people who are likely to become public charges, wyth a penalty from 125 to SSO for each offense. Tho police authorities are considering the advisability of bringing a charge of violating this law against the leader, in which case his fines, with the alternative work house imprisonment, would amount to a very heavy punishment. The same charge may bo brought against Gen. Coxey, if disaster does not overtake tho army of the Commonweal before it completes its itinerary. Tho California contingent arrived at Ogdon, Utah, Sunday, at 0 p. m. Tho train was at once switched Into the railroad yards and surrounded by the militia, which had been called out by the Governor. It was more than two hours beforo the men got anything to eat. Gov. West” and the railway officials held a long consultation. Tho Union Pacific declined to carry the men Eastward at less than fnll rates. The Central Pacific had been notified by the Governor not to bring tho men into the Territory, but declined to obey the order. The result is that the army of the Pacific Is temporarily stranded under guard at Ogden,

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Senator Allison opened the discussion of the tariff bill for the minority, and charged Mr. Voorhees .and the Democratic majority of the finance committee with unfairness, _ There was not an industry in the country, said Mr. Allison, which would not be injured by this bill, while many of them would be strangled. Such a course had never entered Into the minds of the statesmen of the early days of the republic, and even in 1832-33, when the country was divided into two camps, one insisting on absolute free trade and the other for moderate protection, no such radical measures had been adopted. They never dreamed of puttieg on the free list or reducing by one-half the duty charged upon articles which could be produced In the United States. The amendment offered by Mr. Clay and adopted, provided for the reduction of the import duty 10 per cent, every two years, thus taking ten years to bring the tariff down to a basis of 20 per cent, ad valorem. But, instead of taking ten years to reduce the duty, as in the case of the tariff of 1833, this revolutionary measure proposes to accomplish the reduction in one year abruptly and without notice. Senator Call asked Senator Allison to yield for a motion to go into executive session, which, after a lively debate in which a number of Senators took occasion to make sharp and caustic remarks, prevailed. An executive session of one hour was held, after which tho Senate adjourned.

Tho dead lock In tho House over the O’Neill-Joy election contest was broken, Tuesday, the democrats succeeding in producing their own quorum. The resolution declaring O’Neill elected was carried—l 67 to 12. Ten Democrats and two Populists voted against the resolution to unseat ‘Mr. Joy, as follow's: Boen (Populist), Bryan, Cooper of Indiana, Dearmond. Hall of Missouri, Harris, Harter, McKeighan (Populist), Sibley, Morgan, Ryan and Marshall. The House then proceeded to a consideration of tho Englishllilborn contest from California. The Democratic quorum failed on several votes, the Republicans refusing to participate. A truce was declared, and at 5:10 the House adjourned. In the Senate, Wednesday, a report from the Secretary of Agriculture relative to the visible supply of wheat was read. A protest from the Baptist churches of Atlanta, Ga., against the proposed constitution, was presented by Senator Gordon. A lively debate was precipitated by the presentation of a memorial from the Ph'ladelphla Board of Trade praying for adequate duties on sugar. Mr. Allison resumed his speech on the tariff bill and pointed out tho inconsistency of retaining specific duties on some articles and ad valorem duties on others. Mr. Mills followed In a defense of tho ad valorem system. He said; “We cannot pass our bill without concessions. We arc between the devil and the deep sea, and when It is a question of going to the devil by keeping the McKinley law or of going to sea, and there must be some favorable wind te blow me back to land, I am going to sea.” The Senate, at 4;45 o’clock, went into executive session, and when the doors were

reopened adjourned. YVhen the House met, Wednesday, Republicans renewed their filibustering tactics to prevent the unseating of Mr. llilborn, of California. Mr. Springer, as a parliamentary move, to prevent complications, moved to adjourn, which was voted down by Democrats according to s previous understanding. Mr, Springer made a point of order that the demand for the previous question was an intervening motion. The Speaker sustained the point and refused to entertain an apppeal. The resolution to scat Mr. English was then adopted—l6s to 15. Mr. Bland called up the seigniorage bill, and moved that it pass over tho veto. He stated that on Saturday, at 2 o’clock, he would demand the previous question. Then followed a remarkable scene. The Speaker, with uplifted gavel, surveyed the House for a moment. Mr. Bland then expressed a willingness to have the vote taken immediately. Meantime no one addressed the chair, and the Speaker stated the question to be on the motion to pass the bill, the President’s objection to the contrary, notwithstanding. The Speaker said: “The Constitution requires that the vote shall betaken by yaaa and nays” He hesitated. Still everyone on the iloor, engrossed with the program in tho coming debato, heeded him not. “All those in favor will answer yea,” he continued; “contrary no.” Again he paused, but, no one addressing him. he added with a bang of the gavel, “the Clerk will call the roll.” -"‘Mr. Allen,” began the clerk. Tlitre was a gasp of astonishment on the Republican side as the minority awakened to realize that the roll call had begun. The Democrats who were anxious to see the debate suppressed were overjoyed. Amid a great uproar a dozen Republicans jumped to their feet and clamored for recognition. Mr. Reed tried to make himself heard above the uproar. A dozen Republicans vigorously protested, but the Speaker ignored them all, and explained that the proceedings were under the constitutional rules. The explanation was not satisfactory. Mr. Reed sharply addressed the Speaker, and was ordered to his seat. Tho clerk was ordered to resume the roll call. The uproar was terrific. Mr. Reed attempted to break in but the Speaker declared emphatically that ho would not hear him. The Republicans wero beside themselves with anger and refused to vote on the first roll call. Finally, after a consultation, they agreed to vote, and did vote on the second roll call. This turned the tide, and upon the announcement of tho vote it was found that the motion to pass 4he bill over the veto had been defeated, the silver men lacking 74 of the necessary two-thirds. The House then, at 5 o’clock, adjourned. In tho Senate, Thursday, Mr. George introduced a , resolution looking to the preparation of a bill reducing all official incomes 20 per cent, which was referred to the proper committee. The bill to appropriate $1,000,000 for the destruction of the Russian thistle was discussed. Senator Mills opposed the appropriation. Mr, Kyle proposed an amendment providing that the appropriation be divided pro rata among the States. The tariff hill came up aa unfinished business, and the thistle bill went over without action. Mr. Peffer was recognized, bat a motion to go into executive session prevailed and he was not permitted to speak. After an executive session of two hours tho Senate adjourned. The bill requiring railroads to establish stations at Government (own sites in Oklaj hoina came up In tho House. Thursday, and the Senate amendment was rejected, i The Senate bill to give effect to the award

of the Paris tribunal prescribing regulations for the protection of fur seals In Bering sea- was passed. Bills were passed authorizing the construction of bridges across the St. Louis river between Wisconsin and Minnesota at Duluth and Grasse Point. The House then went Into committee of the whole, and after some good-natured banter by Mr. Reed on the subject of the “billion dollar Congress” the urgent deficiency bill was taken np. The bill, which carries something over 51,000,030, was passed, with one important amendment providing for the continuation of the work of the. Censas Bureau until March 4,1895, and providing for the publication in a condensed volume of 250 pages of an abstract of all the data proucred by the census. A determined' fight against the tariff bill was inaugurated in the Senate, Friday. Senator Hill movod to adjourn, after a quorum had been secured, which was defeated—2s to 26. Democrats breathed easier Senators Hill, Murphy and Irby voted with the Republicans in favor of adjournment, and Allen, Kyle and Peffer, Populists, voted with the Democrats. Tha voto was regarded as a test of the sentiment of the Senate on the tariff bill. Senator Peffer resumed his speech on the tariff bill. He attacked the position of Mr. Voorhees, and expressed dissatisfaction -with the general features of the bill under consideration. In reference to the income tax lie said:

The Populists believe In a graduated income tax, and regard it as the most equitable system of taxation. While politicians juggle with the tariff; statesmen ought to make it a matter of business. We do not believe in abandoning wholly the present system. I take it that professed tariff reformers do not see how greatly their practice contrasts with their theory; they mean well, but lack courage only. Protection, as taught by our fathers, is the proper doctrine—protection to domestic industries. Only such Industries as can be made national, employing large numbers of people, should be protected, and that only long enough to establish them. After that, save the market for them, and no more. Bounties, in many cases, are better than cheaper duties. Senator Gallinger interrupted with a suggestion that Mr. Peffer be allowed to suspend his remarks until the next meeting of the Senate. Mr. Peffer agreed tc this. Republicans began dilatory tactics. A motion to go into executive session disclosed the absence of a quorum on ademand for the yeas and nays. A roll call resulted in showing the presence of aqnoruin. At 4:25 the Senate adjourned. In the House, Friday, routine bnsine.fi was considered. Mr. O’Neill rose to a question of personal privilege, and made a personal explanation concerning an alleged agreement between himself and Mr. Joy. The House went into committee of the whole and consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Henderson sent to the clerk’s desk and had read an appeal to Congresi against the further extension of secondclass mail privileges. Over 250,000,009 pounds of second-class matter was carried by the mails last year, it said, 5,492 new publications were started last year, and the efficiency of the mail service wa t crippled by the limitless quantities of sec-ond-class mail matter carried. Mr. Loud opposed the amendment on the ground that It would swamp the Department. It would cost the United States, he declared, 510,090,020 annually. Mr. Loud offered and advocated an amendment to Increase the appropriation for railroad transportation from 525,500,000 to 520,903,000 on the ground that the former sum would prove inadequate. It was defeated. Mr. Dunphy offered as an amendment to the amendment a proviso to prevent the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from doing any of this work. After some further debate in support of the point of order raised against the Dunphy amendment by Mr. Berry, the committee rose, and the House, at 5 o’clock, took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be devoted to pension bills.

At Kansas City, Tuesday, the American Protective Association and the Catholics met at the polls and a bloody con* diet ensued.

The riot that resulted so fatally wr the climax of a scries of smaller riots the took place at other points earlier in th day between the same opposing rellgiox factions. The riot took place on th Southwest Iwnl<9 .sard, in the Fifth ward close to police station No. 3, and thost who took part in it had been heated to th« lighting temper by reports that had been hourly arriving at the station of brawls as other polling places. Only one hour bo fore it was known that John Gooley, a stonemason, was shot in the back anl forehead by William Henry Walker at ( voting pJaceat tho corner of Fiftli an. Campbell streets and that the row was directly due to a debate between the twe men regarding the principles of the American Protective Association, to wliicL Gooley was violently opposed. Callahan, the man who was k'He'L aljeged to have been a non-participant Ir the dispute. This is-denied by the A. IF A. wiio assert licit It was Callahan who firoc the first shot. Dozens of arrests wen made. It will probably lie impossible U: locate, the responsibility for the riot. A bitter feeling exists between the factions and more trouble may result.
