The 1,200 boilermakers of Pittsburg made a demand for an Increase ranging from 10 to 15 per cent. The manufacturers were given until June 15 to grant the demand. Indications are that before the close of the week a general strike will be inaugurated by all the furnace eropSiyes through the Mahoning valley far an advance in the present scale of wages. - The schoolship Saratoga started from Philadelphia on its annual cruise in European waters.

WANT MORE SAILORS.

AT LEAST A THOUSAND MEN REQUIRED. Secretary of the Mary Herbert Complains That Hti Has Not Sailors Knough to Man His New Ships News Notes from the Capital. Washington, June 8. It is becoming each day a more serious problem for the navy department to man the new ships with the small number of sailors allowed by law. In recent years there have been constant additions to the new navy, but congress has not seen fit to increase in like proportion the number of sailors allowed to man the ships. The modern ship, with its complex machinery and great size, requires more men than the small sailing steamers of the war period, yet with all the liberality which congress has shown in appropriating money for the construction of new vessels it has failed to grasp the Importance of giving them effective crews. Last year Secretary Herbert appealed to the legislative branch of the government to authorize the enlargement of the number of enlisted men by 2,000, pointing to the number of new ships that will be completed and turned over to the navy in the course of a year or two as the basis of his application. The appropriation committee, however, saw fit to cut this number down to 1,000 additional men. The battleships Maine

RICHARD OLNEY, THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE.

Attorney-General Richard Olney has been called to the office of Secretary o? state to succeed the late Walter Q. Gresham. Judge Harmon of Cincinnati has been appointed attorney-general. The selection of Mr. Olney Is said to be the result of ability shown as attorney-general. At this time it will not be out of place to give a short history of the state department, which has since the beginning of this government been adorned by the republic's most illustrious citizens. There are no 1 greater names in American history than those of Jefferson, John Marshall, Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Edward Everett, William L. Marcy, William H. Seward, Hamilton Fish, James G. Blaine, Thomas F. Bayard and Walter Quinton Gresham. Nothing could better illustrate the solidarity of American statesmanship than the substantially unbroken consistency with which this array of Americans, representing all parties. ! has carried down the principles of the fathers to our own day and maintained the traditions which gradually invested the department almost as authoritatively as statutes. Jefferson. Marshall, Madison and Monroe had no precedents upon which to base their conduct, respectively, of the state department. Marshall was in office so short a time that, except in a few instances, he had no new problems, none of them important, to elucidate. The foreign policy of the United States was founded by Washington. Jefferson. Madison and Monroe: and those who succeeded them, so far as extra territorial questions ! were concerned, were bound faithfully I io interpret and scrupulously to obI serve the principles they already found J engraven in the department. The extraordinary foresight which character1 Sjt LI tut- ufui..r ,. u ..... - . son, Madison and Monroe, is unequaled and Texas will be ready this summer to go into commission. To man these two ships about 700 men w be required, and as the Lancaster is also to go into service as a practice ship 300 men must be assigned to her. Thus the entiie additional 1,000 men allowed by congress will be absorbed. Meanwhile the big battleships Indiana. Oregon. Iowa and Massachusetts an- rapidly approaching completion and there will be no sailors to place on them unless the department shall tint out of commission some other ships. foreign Resident in Danger. London. June 8 Advices received from Jlddnh are to tiie effect that the Miu.ition Is considered very grave for the Kuropcans. Very few troops are in town and the townspeople generally are pleased at the attack of the Bedouins upon the foreign consuls. Religious feelings are running very high. Unless something is immediately done by the powers to enforce among the natives respect for Kuropean lives foreigners will not be safe in the vicinity of Jiddah. A general Bedouin rebellion is amcng the probabilities.

HAD TO FIGHT FOR LIFE.

Passengers on the Coliina Crowded Into the Vessel's Hold. San Francisco, Cal., June 8. A local paper in its account of the wreck of the Colima as told by the survivors of. the wrecked vessel says the ship was badly loaded. When the gale struck her the men called out to the captain to cut away the deck loading of heavy spars. The captain refused. Then the ship lo?t her steering power. The captain rang for more steam and would not cut loose the deck load. Steam could not save her. The engines were taxed to their utmost, still the vessel listed. The panic on board grew wo.se. Then the captain gave orders for the crew to keep the passengers within bounds. Steerage and cabin passengers say they sought to obtain life-preservers and were forcibly restrained from doing so. Down in the steerage a guard was posted at the companiionway door and those who escaped to the deck in time to cast themselves into the sea before the vessel went down did so only by main force, by kicking and fighting their way past the guard. THREE MEN HANGED. San Queutin Frlson, California, the Scene of a Triple Execution. San Francisco, Cal., June 8. Three murderers were hanged yesterday at San Quentin. Five men were to have been executed, but Gov. Budd respited Fremont Smith and Rico Morasco. The Azoff drew a revolver and shot him. three men who suffered the death penin the history of any other country. fell upon them to reject from the conduct of the republic many of the chief maxims which were vital In contemporaneous political institutions. They had to project into international tribunals novel ideas, radical proposals, and to foreshadow a constitutional policy the antithesis in most respects of any previously recognized among nations. They not only had to deal with principles for the subversion of Id ideas and the establishment of new, but they had to run counter to customs, political and social, many of which had greater vogue than laws. Since their time it has been unnecessary for the state department at Washington to create additional innovations in dealing with foreign powers. The test of ability at the head of the department in later times has been pow?r cogently to reaffirm American dogma in international controversy, and so dextrously to conduct the business of this country with other nations as to command their respect while avoiding their complications. Webster. Marcy, Seward and Blaine will be admitted by the historian to have been the most impressive secretaries since John Quincy Adams. Seward, taking the portfolio of state in the most difficult crisis of the life of the nation, carried to the discharge of his duties an equilibrium which astonished the most accomplished diplomats of England, France and Russia, the powers at whose hands we had most to hope or to fear from 1861 to 1S70. The most difficult of all acts the representative of a nation has to perform, that of acknowledging an error and submitting to its consequences, Seward performed in a manner that did not humiliate the nation or its secretary, but raised both In the respect of the civilized world. In power of logic, Seward will rank with Jefferson. In splendor of rhetoric, Klainc is not surpassed by Webster. Olney has his reputation yet to make. alty are Patrick Collins. A. Milio Garcia and Anthony Azoff. Collins stabbed his wife to death because she would no longer supply him with liquor. A. Milio Garcia is a Mexican. Last year near Colton, San Bernardino county, he cut the throat of an old Frenchman. The purpose was robbery. Anthony Azoff shot and killed Ben Harris, a Southern Pacific detective. Azoff was a highwayman. He had robbed a railroad station agent and the detective had traced him to Boulder Creek, when Harris attempted to place him under arrest. Important Secret Lost. Laramie, Wyo., June S. John Kelly, a Chicago mining expert, who. with some capitalist, went out to examine some old claims in the Oummings district, has been found dead at Woods' Landing. Kelly was a prospector in this district nearly twenty years ago, hut later moved to Chicago, where he invented a process by which he could treat the low-grade Cum mlngs ore and for the purpose of showing the method to the men of money he came out here with the capitalists. The secret of his process, which worked admirably?, probably died with him. The body has been shipped to Chicago.

!IN GOOD CONDITION.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK OF THE COUNTRY IS BRIGHT. Dun's Weekly Review Shows a Gratifying Increase in General Prosperity Gain Has Been Rapid Failures for the Week. New York, June 8. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says: "The tide of business is rising, even as it was falling just two years ago, with surprising rapidity. The gain has gone so far and so fast in some branches that the more conservative fear it may not be maintained. But the period of dullness which comes in each market after an unusual rise brings as yet nothing like a corresponding decline. Industries gain much, halt or fall back a little, and then gain once more. The demand for consumption steadily increases as the employment and wages of the people Increase. "Demand for money expands, one bank reporting 29 per cent larger in the discounts for the country and another 23 per cent more commercial loans than a year ago, and all but two report some gain. The serious question remains whether the crop will be full enough to sustain a large business. But the worst reports to-day are better by far than the estimates recently current. Wheat rose 2 cents, fell back 2, with realizing, and has again risen 3, wth a western estimate of a crop 80,000,000 bushels smaller than last year. It is pertinent to remember that official and most unofficial reports, down to a late period last fall, put the yield about 80.000,000 bushels lower than it is now known to have been. Western receipts were 261,000 more than last year, and in five- weeks have been 7,671,031 bushels, against 6,991,650 last year, while Atlantic exports, flour included, 670,000 bu;hels smaller for the week, have been in five weeks 7.738,828 bushels, against 11,945.478 last year. There is neither holding back by farmers nor anxious haste in purchasing by foreigners to support belief in scarcity. Cotton declined an eighth with better weather at the south, but excitement and prices rose again with the report of only 11.6 per cent decrease in acreage. Much greater decrease had been called crtain, but condition is reported less favorable than last year. June began with 9.553,393 bales already in sight, and 3,302,350 American remaining In commercial stocks, while European spinners held May 1 over a million bales, according to Ellison. "Iron pushed upward like the great buildings into which so much of it goes, and the advance in finished products has become general. Of structural steel 12,600 tons were turned out in May by the Homestead works, breaking the record, and prices rose to 1.3 cents bor beams, and 1.2 for angles. Coke producers are said to have substantially agreed upon sales by an agency and allotment of the output and an advance in price to $1.50 or higher. Chicago works are in full operation, though the demands from agricultural implement makers lags because the coming harvest is in doubt. Failures for the week have been 195 for the United States against 216 last year, and 25 in Canada against 40 last year." WIFE AND PARAMOUR SHOT George Steltzer of Burt, Iowa, Uses a Gun with Good Effect. Mason City, Iowa, June 8. There was a big shooting affair at Burt at noon yesterday. George Steltzer returned to his home unexpectedly and discovered his wife and a worthless young man, Fred Heath, in each other's arms. The husband opened fire with a 32 revolver. The woman was hit In the shoulder and young Heath was shot in the arm and side. He escaped through a side door and started for the country on a run. The husband grabbed up a shotgun and started in hot pursuit, and shot at him twice. Steltzer was caught by other parties and disarmed. He was brought to Algona and lodged in jail. It is thought both of the injured patties will recover. Changing the Tactics. Washington, June 8. General Ruger, since his arrival in Washington has been devoting his entire time to the drill regulations and the manual of arms, making the movements suitable for the new gun which has been adopted for the use of the army. It has been found that the important changes made in the regulations necessitates generally a revision of the phraseology of the entire tactics. It is expected that the national guard will adopt the regulations as soon as they are promulgated by the war department. The guns used by the army and the national guard are different, but it is expected that the regulations can be adopted to the use of the latter without material changes. Civil Service Examiners Busy. Washington, June 8. The examiners of the civil service cbmmisslon are very busy just now. There are about 2,000 tets of examination papers of all kinds In the office to be marked, while from o.OOO to 6.000 more are expected In a few days from the examinations held for clerks and carriers all over the country. The office force consists of thirty examiners but a number of these have to be assigned to other work from time to time, causing delays in finishing the papers. The full force can mark from 800 to 1,000 papers per week, but at the best the recent postofflce examinations cannot all be marked up before August 1. To the Pole by Kalloon. Stockholm, June 8. M. Andree will shortly go to Paris to oversee the making of the balloon in which he will attempt to reach the north pole. The balloon will be made of double silk and will be capable of floating in the air for thirty days at a height of 250 meters. It will carry three persons, instruments, ballast, four months' provisions, a sledge, sailboat, weapons and ammunition. M. Andree hopes to steer his airship by means of sails and brake ropes dragging on the ground when necessary. He proposes to start in July, 1S96, and hopes to return toward America.
