STRIKE MAY LAST LONG But Some Say it Will End Saturday. Chicago. Atril 12.Pursuant to the decision of the Central Building- league and a majority cf the leading builders of Chicago, the lockout of all the employes eng-ag-ed in the building trades began this morning at 7 o'clock. No man affiliated with a trades union will be taken back to work until a general agreement is reached .that they will consent to an arbitration of all differences growing out of the schedules which the bosses hare refused to sign. Repre sentatives of both sides say that a long fight and one of which the building trades an. allied industries will remain practically at a standstill is imminent. Others declare that the lockout will last until Saturday night, j but not much longer. It is intimated that the cause of the local master builders may be taken up by the other associations throughont the country, thus embracing all the principal cities in the lockout. If the difficulties in Chicago are not easily and speedily settled, they say the master builders in New York, Phila delphia, Buffalo.Cleveland, Milwaukee and other larg-e places will take measures similar to those adopted by the central league of Chicago. The lockout effects sixty thousand work men in Chicago alone. Striker Keturn to Work. Akrojt, Ohio, April 12.

Oodes, Utah, April 12. In the tele graphic correspondence kept up for the past two days between the South ern Pacific officials in San Francisco and in this city, it was plain that the railroad company was only sparriDg for more time. The long argument of the parties before Judge Miner con sumed most of the forenoon. The final decision of the court was that the order was so modified as to justify the territory officials to use force in putting the army out of the territory, provided it had not moved out by 10 ( o'clock to-day. The decision was a complete vindica tion of the position taken by the ter ritorial officials, and Marshal Brigham and his deputies were instructed to enforce the order of the court.

Mr. Hale of Maine-Discusses the Tariff. Washixgtos-, April 12." The gal leries of the senate had a deserted ap pearance yesterday. House bill au thorizing the Texarkana & Fort Smith railroad company to bridge Little river in Arkansas was passed. At 1 o'clock the tariff bill was taken up and Senator Hale addressed the senate. He said in part: "At no time during the twenty-five years of my service in congress has any tariff bill or tariff bills aroused so deep a feeling among the American people and so strong, earnest and determined'oppo sition as the Wilson bill." . Before this debate came to an end he hoped some senator who stands in the relation of sponsor to the bill would state the general theory or doctrine or party dogma upen which th3 bill is framed. While he was familiar with the Democratic platform and the letter of acceptance of President Cleveland, he found himself hopelessly confused and lost in an attempt to reconcile either or both of those with the provisions of the bill, either as passed by the house of representatives or as tinkered and manipulated by the sen ate committee. IVom his study of the bill, three things were apparent, viz: First It is a bill to protect the south and to punish the north. Second It is a bill for the benefit of the European manufacturer and pro ducer at the expense of our manu facturer and producer. Third It is in every paragraph that dealt with the products of the Domin ion of Canada, as brought in compe tition with the products of our own people along the Canadian border, a simon pure, almost unadulterated bill for the benefit of Canada, and to our corresponding hurt. Senator Hale criticised the makeup of the finance' committee, charging that the Wilson bill was committed to the hands of three or four senators from the Southern states. Continuing he said: "The provision of the bill which strikes down the whole scheme of reciprocity, under which additional trade has been grow ing up with foreign countries, strikes most severely at the Northern wheat grower and the-Northern miller and will, at one blow, destroy the trade which has grown up with Cuba and will besides shut out from the German market the already established and increasing exportation from the Northern packing establishments of pork to that country." He asserted that the sugar schedule had been framed to catch two votes in the South, and that although other reciprocal treaties had been stricken down, the Hawaiian - territory had been saved in order that the vote of the Democratic senators of the Pacific toast might be saved. Discussing the bill as it affects his own constituency, Senator Hale, said: "I come now, Mr. President to the consideration of that portion of the bill which more nearly affects my own constituency, and which falls with de structive force upon the farmers and the manufacturers and laborers of that entire portion of the United States which stretches across the con tinent from Maine to Oregon and Washington, and which finds sharp competition and a dangerous rival in the Dominion of Canada, which lies along its entire border. I do not hesitate to state that, as affecting this re gion of our own country, this bill is made up after a fashion that could not have better satisfied the Cana dians had a committee of their own taken this subject in charge and fixed our own schedules and duties." He discussed the probability of future amalgamation of the two countries, and said Canada must come to us, as we would not go to her, and asserted that the MeKinley law Was hastening the union. He continued: "The Wilson bill and the amendments reported by the senate committee throw over all this advantage and indefinitely postpone political union of the two countries, and in fact establish a policy so favor able to the Canadians that I should look, to see the growing sentiment for annexation die out and that in the generation to come we should find ourselves with a growing and possible hostile rival along our entire North ern border. This consideration alone in t ie broad domain of statesmanship ought to be in itself the death blow of the bill." A strong point in Mr. Hale's spe ech was the inevitable annexation of Can ada and he laid great stress upon this. This question awoke the almost som nolent senate to a brisk discussion and Mr. Gray inquired what advan tages would accrue to the American farmer along the Canadian border if the products of Canada competed on equal terms with his own. Senator Frye suggested that there would be no border.it would all be our country. Senator Hale replied that the farm ers of the country would derive a gen eral benefit from the extension of the country and the wiping out of border lines. He referred to annexation of Mexican territory as a precedent and none doubted, he said, that the advan tages which this country derived were commensurate with the advantages which the smaller country obtained. Senator Gray agreed with the sena tor from Maine ts to the desirability of extending free trade over the en tire continent, but he could not see the specific advantage the border farmers would obtain. Senator Morrill suggested that in case of annexation a large amount of immigration, now coming from Canada, would remain there and consume all the products which now come in competition with American products. Senator Hale predicted that if the bill passed and the Canadians were thus given every advantage they de sired, without any compensating sac rifices on their part, the growing sentiment - for annexation would speedily die out. Senator Hale concluded his 6peech at 3:15, and Senator Peffer finished his speech, which was begun and in terrupted last Thursday. When Mr. Peffer began the second installment of his speech there was a. fair attendance of senators on both sides of the chamber, but they grad ually melted away, and at onetime there was only one Democrat, one Republican ana one Populist visible on the floor.

ALLOTMENTS ALMOST MADE. Only On Hundred Kickapoos Not Yet Assigned Money for the Tribe. Oklahoma City, Ok., April 11. Only twelve more da3s remain in which the Kickapoos can .voluntarily take their allotments. April 23 Major MOses Neal, the agent, will proceed to set apart eighty acres for each member of the tribe who will not make his se lection. There are about 100 of these at present, but it is believed that the majority will listen to reason before the time is out. Those wo have taken allotments have shown good judgment in select ing the best bottom land, but the up lands of the country are almost as rich and when all the Indians are al lotted there will Still remain a large amount of land open to white settle ment. The Kickapoo reservation has long been noted as the garden spot of Oklahoma. The scheme Of Secretary Smith to sell these lands to the highest bidder is opposed by every resident of Okla homa. There are a great many pros pective settlers camped on the border awaiting the opening and meetings are being held and resolutions adopt ed protesting against the plan. April 24 Mr. Neal will begin making the money payment of $60,000 to the Kickapoos. There are about 300 mem bers of the tribe and each buck, squaw and papoose will receive 8200. Every child born into the tribe is hailed with joy, for it means $200 more in the family, and some 'families will receive as high as $2,400. WRATHY CITIZENS.
