THE HOLDERS1 LOOKOUT.
8TOVE MANUFACTURERS GO BACK ON
THEIR OWN PROPOSITION.
The Trouble to Extend Over tho Whol
Country President Pltspsttrlok, of th
Xros' Molders' Union, Interviewed op
the Bltantlon Other Labor Troubles.
Cincinnati, April 2d. The conference be
tween President Fitzpatrick, of the iron
molders' union, and President Cribben, of
.the Btovo Manufacturers' Defense associa
tion and, the other general ofltcers, to effect
n, settlement of tho St. Louis mqldors1 strike,
and a suspension Of tho general molders lock
out, has proved fruitless. The Stove Mdnu
facturers' association h'ave refused the same
proposition that thoy'thomsolvos maJo"aTfew
weeks ago in regard to tho trouble at Bridge,
iBeoeh & Co.'s, Bt Lonis, namely: a 6 per
cent .advance at onca and ft 5 per cent, ad
vance Juno or July 1, if tho prlco of stovos
could be advanced. The molders' first do"-,
mand was for a 15 per cent, advance, but
thoy were willing to compromise on 10 per
cent.
President Fitzpatrick telegraphed Bridge,
Beach & Co., March 23, if they would allow
u 10 per cdnt. advance, aad the firm replied
that the matter was left entirely in tho
hands of Henry Cribben, president of -the
Defenso association. By the refusal of the
latter to now accept their.own proposition a
long lockout is now inevitable. "We are
able to cope with tho Defenso association,"
said President Fitzpatrick to-day. "Wo
offered to take their own terms to effect a
settlement and they have refused. It con
firms more than ever the impression abroad
that there is some conspiracy to pool the
price of stoves. A limited supply of an ar
ticle makes a big difference in the price.
They certainly intended to shut down soon
anyhow, and have made tho moldorc' refusal
to work on the obnoxious patterns a pretext.
I received words of sympathy and encour
agement from the secretary of the Federa
tion of Trades to-day and wo can roly upon
their support It is remarked that tho ac
tion of Powdorly and the gonoral executive
board of the Knights of Labor in holding the
Detroit Knights of Labor moldors at work
on the tabooed patterns is suspicious, but I
think they will go out yet, I think Mr. Powr
derly means right. All the union molders in
the Second district will now go Out "We
shall hold them in no longer. I understand
the patterns ore to be soon introduced In tho
first district, and, of course, none of our
molders will work upon thejnv"
President Cribben, of the Btovo Manufac
turers' association, returned to "Chicago, to
day. The general executive bourd of the
iron molders remain in session to-day, but
all the oflloers will return to. their homes to
night "f hey aU express thoir regrets that
the manufacturers would not accept their
fair propositions, but state that they are as
able, financially and otherwise, 'to carry on
as active warfare as tho stove manufac
turers. ,
Cardinal Manning' on the ICnighta.
London, April 29. Cardinal Manning has
written a special article with rogar J to the
Knights of Labor, which will appear Inthe
issue of The Tablet on Saturday next Car
dinal Manning says: "Unless the rights of
labor can be denied the liberty of organiza
tion to protect these rights an 1 the fread :n
founded on them cannot be denied. Toward
the end of the last oontury the doctrines of
political economy under tho plea of free con
tract broke up the old relatio u bjevan tu
employer uud employe, arid the conflict b--tween
capital and latnr became perpjtual.
Tho power of capital in all but irrefutable,
for the poor must labor for the bread of life;
hunger lays tho nectxsity upon them, for tin
sake of their homes and themselves. When
the law ceased to intervene, organizations
for mutual defense straightway arose. Tho
Knights of Labor and tho British traduj
nnions represented the rights of labor and
the rights of association for iti defense. A
conflict of capital and labor is not unequal.
The freedom of contract whereon political
economy glorifies itself hardly exists. It is
surely their church's office to protect the
poor and to protect labor, which has built up
the human commonwealth."
At Philadelphia.
FniLADELriilA, April JJtf. Last night the
Stovo Holders' union of this city at a mooting
adopted resolutions denouncing what they
term the coercive measures adopted by thoik
employers in trying to force them to use the
Bt Louis patterns. There were bo f urthor
strikes in this locality yesterday, and no
further trouble is anticipated. '
The general executlvo board of the Knighta
of Labor met in this city for the purnosa of
taking somo action for the prevention of,
lurther trouble between employers and em
ployes on account of, the objectlonal Sb
Louis patterns None -of those present at
the meeting would say what action, had beorj
taken, but.lt is said that the plans fpr bridg
ing about a settlement tf the present)" trouble
among the stove molders woro thoroughly
discussed, but ho satisfactory conclusion was
reached.
Window Glaaa Manufacturer.
Pittsburg, April ta). As a result of the

Boycotting Beer.
Hazleton, Pa,, April 29. A commUteo
of Knights of Labor visited all tho saloon,
hotel and restaurant keepers in this town
yesterday and roqueated them from selling
or handling beer manufactured" by certain
brewers in Philadelphia. All -,tho keepers
agreed to boycott the companies by" no pur
chasing from them in the futura, believing
this to bo a good way to bring the trouble to
a speedy termination The same - request
is to he made by the committee in all tho
towns and cities in Lucerne county,
Btrlke Settled.
'Worcester, Mass., April' 80. The strike
ai Laphaui'8 woolen mills in Milbury has
been settled, tho weavers resuming work

Cattle Quarantining;.
Ottawa, Ont, April 29. Tho govern
ment is considering tho advisability of pro
hibiting the importation of cattle into Can
ada from tho United Kingdom for at ldast
one year. This step, which will likely be
adopted, seems to bo rendered necessary by
the existence of plouro-pnoumoula In tho
mother country.
lAWthn Suspicious for the Old Man.
,Ai.toona, Po.,April20, Mrs. A. Scwarts-
worth, threo. sons and a sister were mysteri
ously poisoned yesterday morning. Tho
husband had prepared breakfast for tho
family, at which coffeo and tea were used.
Tho family drank tho tea and tho husband
tho coffee. Ho went to his work as usual
and shortly afterward the family were all
taken violently ill. ' A physician was called
and found that thoy were suffering from
urinary poisoning suporlnduood by Spanish
fly (cantharides.) At present all are living
but in a precarious condition. As yet it is not
known by what means tho poison was taken.
The husband is suspected as tho agent in the
matter.
Still Discussing Secession.
Ottawa, Ont, April 29.. In the house
yesterday Mr. Welch, member for Prince
Edward Island, in tho course of debato told
the government that unless tho promises
made by tho union of provinces be main
tained to tho very letter his province would
withdraw from the confederation. Ho 'did
not threaten secession, but simply poiuted
out what was the sure outcome of tho feel
ing of unrest now prevailing there. He said
tho confederation was a curse to Prince Ed
ward Island and a sham genorally. The
province, if independent of the confederacy,
would be one of the most prosperous com
munities in Canada, if not in tho world.
Mining Operations Suspended.
Philadelphia, April 29. There is every
probability that tho anthracite producing
companies will suspend mining for two weeks
or more beginning Moy 1. The supplies of
coal at Tidewater still accumulate in the do

of these sizes aggregate $500,000 tons, and it

tho lino and city trade. No chaiige will bo
made in domestic sizes, but an advance in
the manufacturers' sizes will bo discussed.

WASHINGTON DISPATCHES
NOT MyCH FOUNDATION FOR AN EX
TRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. .
Th Surplus Iterenne Not as Dangerous as

Department Watohlaz England's Gun
Making Experiments Capital Notes.
Washington, April 29. Thor really does
not seem to bo much foundation for all the
"extra session" talk that is again being in
dulged in. The only reason that tbore could
be 'for calling an extra session would be to
gat an early reduction of tho surplus
revenue, which a good many people thipk is
going to bo piled up mountain high by the
time congress moots again.
Wo are now within sixty days of the closo
of the fiscal year, and there are yet practi
cally $20,000,000. of the 3 per cent bonds out
that may bo called at any time. Tho accu
mulations of surplus are now going on at tho
rate of about $10,000,000 a mouth. From
July 1 to the date of the meeting of congress
is five mouths. The accumulations of sur
plus at the ordinary rate by that tlmo would
be about $50,000,000. Tho treasury depart
ment, however, are required to buy, during
the next fiscal year, $44,000,01)0 of bonds for
tho sinking fund. Thoso, at the rate of pre
mium which it must pay, will cost about an
even $50,000,000. So it docs not seem proba
ble that tho date for the regular meeting of
congress will find tho treasury with any ac
cumulation of surplus. Of course it may
take congress some timo to devise a satis
factory plan for reducing the surplus, but
even giving it threo months to do this and
it can do bo if it desires In less than that timo
the accumulations need not bo more than.

Big Gnns and Heavy Armored Vessels.
Washington, April 29. The war and
' navy department people have been watching
tho recent experiments in big guris in Eng
land with n good deal of interest Fast as
tho art of iron ship building progresses tho
art of destruction keeps fairly ahead of it
England's war ships have Iron armor two
feet thick, backed by two feet more of teak
wood. Yet tho cannons that uj,vo beon re
cently tested will put a ball twice as largo
as a man's head through this four feet of
iron and 'wood as though it were made of
green cheese. The cannon which does this
work weighs HO tons, and with its curriago
weighs over 20J tons. It is forty-four feet
long, and carries a ball which weighs 2,500
pounds, or as much as twenty average men.
It can carry this ball, it is said, nearly ten
miles. It takes almost a thousand pounds of
powder, half a wagon load, to flro tho gun
once. The gun is twice as long as the width
of tho average residence in tho average city.
The "boro," or hole through which tho ball
is fired, is sixteen and a half Inches in diame
ter, or big enough for a man to crawl into.
It is' capable, it is claimed, of aanding a 2,500
pound boll through three feet of solid iron
armor. .
Social Gossip.
Washington, April 29. The loading gos
sip in social circles is the rumored engage
ment of Sir Lionel Sackvllle West, and Miss
Mattie Mitchell, of Oregon, and further in
terest to tho story lies iu the fact that the
marriago may be consummated abroad. Miss
Mitcholl sails for England May 7, and Sir
Lionel joins his daughters abroad in June.
So many of the foreign ministers here have
had American wives that tho prospect of a
lady so generally admired as Miss Mitchell
taking a leading position in the diplomatic
circle, is without doubt tho most interesting
bit of gossip heard in Washington for mauy
a day. The Misses West left this morning
for Now York, whence thoy sail for England
Saturday.

Flourens, tho minister of foreign affairs, an
account of his interview with Count Her
bert Bismarck last evening with regard to
M. Schnabeles' arrest M. Herbetto says
that Count Bismarck maintained that Frouch
territory had not beon violated. He was in
clined to admit, however, that the arrest was
irregular and contrary to tho Franco-German
frontier convention of 1877. The count
further stated that he would roloaso Schna

AFTER MANY DAYS.
Bread Cast Upon the Water Brings a New
Yorker S0,OO0.
New York, April 29. A remarkablo pe
culiar story with more than ordinary tinge
of romanco came to light yesterday, when
CoL Granger, a well known down-town
business man, was notified that he had been
left $50,000 by a former Cincinnatlan, Mr.
Lemuel Stockbridge. Mr. Stockbridgo was
a cotton speculator, and resided in the Queon
City when the late war broke out He had
occasion to visit Louisiana on a purchasing
tour, and took his invalid wlfo with him.
Whllo hi tho Rod river district, ho was in
closed by the Federal linos and found it im
possible to proceed. His wife "grew vory ill
and her husband in his frantlo ondeavors to
cross tho lines came in contact with Mr.
Granger, who- was at that time on aide-do-,camp
on tho staff of Gen. Ullmnn.
Mr. Granger took pity on tho invnlld and
her husband, nnd furnished them with pass
ports. Shortly afterward Mr. Granger was
promoted for gallant sorvico, aad obtained a
loavo of absence. Accompiuilod by Ids wlfo
ho took tho steamer at New Orleans, and was
mucjf surprised to find Mr, and Mrs. Stock
bridge among his follow-passeners. Old
friendships wore renewed. While passing
through Louisiana tho Confederate-sharpshooters
fired on the steamer, and Mrs. Stock
bridgo aguln became violently ill. Tho
Grangers wero again friends in needs, and
when tho families parted at Cincinnati they
woro steadfast friends.
Strangely enough, however, tho Grangers
never saw their strangely-found acquaint
ances again. Mr. Stockbridgo amulsed a
fortune of $3,000,000 and returned to his
birthplace Edinburgh, Scotland where he
died in 1384. He never forgot his benefac
tors, however, and in his will bequeathed tho
sum of $50,000 to Col. Granger. A firm of
Scotch lawyers have, after a year and a half,
definitely identified CoL Granger, and the
money will bu paid in a short timo.

MlnlNter Fatally Shot
GnENADA, Miss , April 29. Our town was
thrown into considerable excitement yester
day about noon, when Cnpt W. B. Towlcr,
of this city, a traveling salesman for Schmidt

wounded Rev. C. Stivers, of tho Episcopal
church. Tho shooting occurred at Towler's
Own houso. Tho cause is not known, as ,

confession in which he stated that Capt
Towler was justified, and ho didn't want him
punished. Physicians say Stivers cannot
recover.
