St;rflrant Import of a SoMier Who Went Amanc Them uJ Tnok x..-. pearly AH of Them Armed with Gang r ; ' A. Jeellng of 4'ontemnt " for th. Caardsmcn Abroad The Leaden Look for a Terrible Outbreak A ft..- . . era! of Those Slain Takes Place. ,. Mt. PLEASANT, Ta., April 4 Gen. Wiley yesterday detailed Private Keller, of the Eighteenth regiment, who speaks seven languages, to circulate among he Hunga rian and other strikers. Last nignt when Private Kellar returned to headquarters he reported to Gen. Wiley as follows: "There is going to be trouble between this and Monday. The strikers are all Indig nant because the soldiers have been sent liere, but they don't seem to fear them. I was in two houses this a f tern jon where they threatened to attack me until I ad. dressed them in their own tongne. In one house I saw five guns and a number of revolvers. In the other I saw three guns and several revolvers. Five out of every ten of these men have served in th6 armies of the old country, and they know What soldiers are. Not Afraid of State Militia. "They say that The soldiers who have baen brought here are simply working men like themselves and will not inter fere with their movements. In one of their papers of to-day that I picked up was an article saying they need not be afraid of the militiamen, who were novices and did not know any more about warfare than the strikers themselves. !hey also know about all the members of je Tenth regiment, and I heard them ridiculing tbem to-day. So far as I have discovered there is going to bo trouble and it will come within the next two days. All of the Hungarians nra in a dangerous mood over the killing of their fellow-workmen at Morewood, which they claim was entirely unjustifiable." r A l'rlinc of Great Uneasiness. I With the militia hurryiug through the streets, and restless, nervous strikers crowding about the sidewalks and cross ings, Mt. Tieasnnt was a decidedly lively f!ace yesterday. The presenca of the sol- aiers nas, to an extent, driven away the uneasy feeling. Still, there js too much uncertainty for comfort. Another ueadly conflict will not surprise aBy one here. The striker are jn a sulleu mood. JThe evidence before the coroner's jury, given so far by strikers and their friends, and tending, as it does, to show that the firing was hasty, has enraged them, and their suppressed wrath may take Are at any time. Not less than 8,000 miners hung around town all day, and the main street In front of the armorv where thn tven mm. panies are stationed was choked up from morning until night. Holdier and Strikers Fi&ht. A collision betweeu two strikers and a soldier occurred near the Baltimore and Ohio station yesterday morning. The guardsman was worsted in the fight, and was taken off by friend. The fight tend ed to unsettle the general feeling, and was accepted as on alarming indication. At a late hour last night the strikers weie holding a big meeting, aud a feeling of nervousness prevailed among the soldiers. Instructions to Gen. Wiley. Gen. Wiley is instructed from Harris, burg to give strict orders to the troops that no firing is to be resorted to unless by order of the officer in command, and said officer shall not give such order until every other means of restoring order has been exhausted. The commanding officer will call upon the strikers to disperse in all cases before firing upon them. But if they refuse he is empowered to order the troops under his command to open fire . and keep it up until the mob has fled. MANAGER LYNCH GIVES BAIL. Threats Against Caps. Loar Portentous Talk or the Strike leaders. General Manager Lynch and Superin tendent Ramay appeared before inquire McCaleb yesterday afternoon and ac knowledged service of warrants issued by the strikers' leaders, charging them with being accessories before the fact to the felonious shooting of the strikers. Thy entered bail in the amount of $800 each for a hearing next week. Fear are ex pressed on all sides for the safety of Capt, Loar, of this place, whose men, it is claimed, shot the strikers. Threats are being made on all side against him, aud tie is going around with a bodyguard. The captain himself has no fear, but his fellow oflicers are very anxious that he protect himself. Thinks Strikers Sonld Be Armed. Ex-Secretary Robert Watchorn and Vice President Punna, of the United Mine workers, returned here yesterday. "The killing of these men," said Penna, "has etregthened our position" tenfold. We are determined not to lay down. If tae operators are to le armed to pro tect property, an 1 under that pre tense shoot down men on the highways, it is time the men were armed to protect their own lives." Strike Leaders Look for Trouble. Thore will be an immense concourse at tend the funerals of the dead men, and at the cemetery the strike lenders will make orations, the character of which may be easily imagined. "The dirge of the bands at the funeral will bethe knell of more peo ple than the martyr-," was the remark of one leader. m a,rH,tl tuere will be hell to-mor- nrw," said Peter Wipe; "yon do not know how terribly these men feel this thing; they are now beyond control. We repu diate any responsibility for the future ac tion of the strikers." In Defense of the Slav fclemant. A prominent leader of the Slav element aid yesterday that a majority of the crowd out Thursday morning was there npi'it protest; that the American, En glish, and Irish leaders went to the Standard works and forced the Sluvs to join them under threats of punish ment. Austria Thinks it a Good Riddance. London, April 4. A Vienna dispatch says that very little interest has been aroused there by the reported slaughter in America of a number of Hungarians and Poles. The emigration of that kind is from the lowest dregs of the empire and the Austrian government Is the most aristocratic in Europe, even the electors being of most substantial and superior class. No official information has been given on the subject, but it was stated on well-informed authority that there would pot be an official inquiry into the matter. .. -x ... tind fullt warrants snw.- THE ELECTION, IN SLIGO. ? "5 Parnell Beaten by 80 British Literal! Not at All Satisfied. Lo-vdojt, April 4. After a campaign oi the greatest excitement and tnrbnktiM the election at Sligo came off Thursday with comparatively little trouble. Thtre were a few unimportant "scraps," aid fierce exchanges of eomnliments. but nothing calling for hard work by the ro- iice.. .ne Jr'arneilities were defeated the majority against them being SOG. T le priests did not stop urging the voters na til their ballots were deposited. , Thsy made direct and personal appeals to the voters as they stood in line, to vo;e against Parnell. Majority One Thousand Too Little. The result of the election. has not beo received with satisfaction by the 'labeiul leaders. Gladstone is'isaid to b e surprise d as well as disappointed by the strength which Parnell has shown, in face of tl e united efforts of the English Libert.! party, the Irish hierachy, and the ne national federation. - Parnell isncknow -edged now to bethe representative of a formidable minority, which, while rut strong; enough to have its own way, is toj strong to be treated with anything liks indifference. A leading member of par liament said last evening that the major ity was 1,000 short of being decisive. Parnell Too BIr To Bo Ignored. "Nothing could show," he said, "mort strikingly the wonderful influence o! Parnell than the fact that, almost single handed, with most of his abler lieutenant absent from the country, and with the terrible weight of the O'Shea divorce upoi. nim, he should be able to poll snch a vot against a popular resident of Sligo, witl a candidate almost unknown in Sligo, and against other united interests making e combination more powerful to all appear ances than any ever before arrayed in an Irish election." The Sligo election has not tended to restore Liberal enthusiasm for home rule, and the general sentiment seems to be to make home rule a seoondarv issue in English Liberal politics. Baironr's Compliments to the Police. . Balfour has telegraphed to the police authorities at Sligo his appreciation of their arduous and efficient services in pre venting serious bloodshed. A dispatch from Sligo says that there iu still some apprehension of tronbb. and the police are kept on extra duty, and will be until affairs have assumed their normal condi tion. It is considered fortunate for tUe community that three of the most ng -receive chamnions. tven nt Pmaii'. ., .1 of the McCarthy side, were spoiled for fichtincr in thn fi n " v v nv I ji UC tic.." tion contest, and have since been nursing ' Viieir uruises at IIOIU5. refers i.ailoar to r.ruell. iomios, April 4. In a speeell at New Castle, J.F. X. O'Brien, M. P., said that "Parnell must never again be allowed to handle the flag that he has disgraced. He would rather submit to fifty years of Bal fonrism than to home rule under Parnell. If Ireland had home rule with a governor like Parnell she would be disgraced." DETECTIVE O'MALLEY APPEARS, And the iw Orleans Mob Prepares to Give nim a "Fair Trial." New Orleans, La., April 4. Much to the surprise of the citizens here Detective O'Malley rade to the court yesterday with his counsel, surrendered himself and was admitted to bail He then went out on the streets and walked around, apparent ly fearless of violence. The prosecution seem determined to "catch him both com. in' and goin'," as they have raked up. a couple of indictments several years old against him, as well as the one found re cently for alleged bribery of the jury in the Hennessey case. The feeling against him is intense and threats have been made against him by many i-ince it transferred that he Was here. "The Law to Take Its Conrse." The news that he had surrendered to the officers of the law spread ra pi ly, and a call for a meeting was issued. The meet ing was held in a saloon on Common street, and at it the question of hanging O'Malley was taken tip, and some favored stringing him up to the nearest lamp post. Sober judgment prevailed, how ever, and after a spirited discussion it was resolved to allow the law to take its course, and if the outcome of tlie trial was not what the people required, then "summary vengeance? would-be meted out. ? LAWMAKING fN ILLINOIS. Little Business Done by the Legislature Adjourned to Next Wednesday. Springfield, Ills., April 4. The senate did not meet yesterday until 6 p. m., and no business of importance was transacted. Adjournment was taken to Wednesday. A resolution was referred in the house de claring iu favor of a soldiers' headquar ters at the World's fair where both L'nion and rebel vets can meet and register. Bills were introduced: Providing 4"or a state board of highway commissioners, to secure uniform improvement of state roads; to regulate the values, terms of insurance, and paid np policies of life insurance companies, pro viding against the lapse of policies, and that the value of the policy at. the time it elapses may be used to pay preminnmun til exhausted, 6 per cent, per annum be ing deductei it also provides against any waiver claims in any policy; to repeal the Merritt conspiracy law; re quiring railway companies to pay em ployes not later than fifteen days after their month's waces are due.

The navy department has received telegraphic in somation that the United States steam ship San Francisco left Mare Island Fri day, and anchored off San Francisco. Everything is in readiness for the vessel to sa il to Chili, where she has been or dered to look after the interests of Ameri can citizens in the country during the continuance of the revolution there. The San Francisco will be the flagship of the Pacific station. She will be joined at an early date by the Charleston, which is being prepared for sea servi'-e at the Mare Island yard.

' "' ELAINE BEGUILED, A Press Wag's Joke on the State Secretary. FEENCHMAN HUNG IS THE PAEK, But It Troved To Be Bronze and the Premier Laughed Farther Discussion oi tne (tuestion of States nights in Connection with International Obliga tions A Belated Cablegram Said to uave Caused the Imbroglio The Lat est from Rodin! Not Given Out, WASHINGTON CITT, April 4, At 10 o clock yesterday morning Secretary -Maine walked from his house in Lafay ette square to the state department, as is his wont. His face was wreathed in smiles. So great was his satisfaction at the latest phase of the Italian situation that he made no effort to conceal his good iiumor. iiui ne was given a shock: by a wag of a newspaper man, who met him in Lafayette square and in tones of well feigned excitement said to him; "Mr. Blaine, our next row will be w-ith France. Have you. heard the newsf " "No," was the reply. "Then look to the corner of the park. A gang of American citizens are hanging a Frenchman within twenty rods of your home." It Was a Bronse Frenchman. Mr. Biaine looked, despite his suspicion that a belated April fool joke was being played on him. Sure enough, at the cor ner of the square, but a few feet from the secretary's residence and within plain view of tho White House, tho figure of a Frenchman was seen dangling in the air with a rope around his neck. But it was only the bronze figure of one of the compatriots of Lafayette, which the work men engaged in erecting the Lafayette memorial statue were lifting into place by means of a derrick. Mr. Blaine evident ly appreciated the joke, for he laughed good-humoredly and walked on to the state department with the air of a man at peace with himself and all the world. He repeated the joke at the cabinet meeting, and Jerry Husk, who is fond of jokes, told it to all his callers at the department of agricultuid. That States Bights Question Again. Authorities 'on international law are still discussing what is called the weak place in the-.merican system. Many of these men Ik Id that the state department has esbumed a ridiculous attitude in at- tempting to evade the responsibility for the punishment of the Xew Orleans riot ers. These claim that the constitution gives the federal government the power to make treaties and it is natural to as sume that it confers cpoh it the power of conforming to them in disregard of state authority. The constitution is the su preme law of the land and thus higher than the state law. A Western Statesman's Tiew. A western congressman, who is one of the best authorities on international law, takes the position that the state depart ment has acted in strict conformity to our constitution. "It is true," says this au thority, "that the constitution gives the federal government a right to live up to its treaties, but where is the statute by which these alleged criminals can be pun ished? It will be necessary for congress to point to the statute for the punishment of the alleged crime. At present we have none such, this power being delegated to the states. Whenever this question of en acting a law for this special case is raised in congress, the old hue and cry will go up about governmental interference witn states' rights, and it will be impossible to pass such a piece of legislation." The Action of the State Final. Continuing, he said that snch a law could not be passed because it would be ex post facto, "and," said he, "if this state of Louisana, in the regular course of law, docs not punish these alleged ofTendei-s there is no way by which the offense can possibly be condoned by the federal gov ernment. Mr. Blaine has grasped the sit uation exactly. If the state of Louisana fails to punish, the only remedy that will be left for the Italian government will be to seek an indemnity through the doubt fnl process of congress, and congress has demonstrated more than once with what iipathy it acts in such matters." A IHspatrh That Came Too Late. A report is current that after Baron Pava had received his .instructions to de mand his passports, another telegram ar lived countermanding the instructions. Minister Porter having made a satisfac tory explanation to tho Italian govern ment. But Fava had already presented the first cable message, aud it was too 1 ite. The date of this inoperative tele tram shows that it was decided upon im mediately after the return of Premier Kudini to Rome, and after his interview vith Minister Porter. Rudini was absent f-om Home two or three days during the pendency of negotiations between Baron lava aud Secretary Blaine, nnd whil Minister Porter was attempting to have Minister Fava's . uppcals for delay lis tened to. Fava Still at the Capital. Inquiry last night at Baron Fava's rcsi d :nce as to whether the baron would leave fix New York by a late train in order to sjul for Italy to-day was answered by the st atement that he was -iiL The sert ant at the door would take no cards to the baron, aud could not or would not say how ill the baron was, or answer any questions about his preparations for departure for N -w York last night.

Many aged people Buffer greatly with a dry, hard cough, a painful feeling of .tightness and oppression across the chest and a sense of a dull un comfortable pain in the side. They carry this about year after year, sometimes feeling better and sometimes worse, but never being able to tbrow it entirely off. They fancy that it is one of he accompani ments of old age which they must perforce put up with as best as they can. This need not be the case, all of these symptoms are simply the result of inflammation more or less pronounced of the air passages of the lungs, and of the thin membrane thatcontftutes their 1 hing. They cat. be relieved by taking Reid's German Cough and Kidney Care. It is the best remedy for old age that was ever discovered be cause it is in itself stimulating and nutritious and aids the en feebled digestive organs to re gain their former tone.
