QUITE TOO MANY KICKERS To Whom the Party Lash Must be Vigorously Applied ' THE COPTEIGM BILL DEFEATED. Beaten on a Close Tote bj Sharp Tricks of Its Opponents. GREEK B.EATJM WAXTS TO BE A SENATOR Congress trill be in session until October. Even Speaker Reed now admits that an early adjournment is impossible. The com mittees are too slow, and there are too many kickers in the Republican ranks. Business men are worried by the uncertainty con cerning the tariff bill. The international copyright bill is doomed for the session. rrEOK A ETAIT COCBESPONDEjrr. Washington, May 2. Even Speaker Reed is beginning to despair in recard to any adjournment that conld be called early, and is ready to admit that the prospects are good for a sitting through August and pos sibly September, rather than an adjourn ment the first or the middle of July. Of course neither he nor anybody else charges this in the least degree to the new rules. While some time was wasted in the dis cussion of the new rules and in filibustering against the Speaker's rulings previous to their adoption, it is agreed by everyone that thev have greatly facilitated the transaction of business. THE COMMITTEES TOO SLOW. If under the new rules Congress remains in session till August or September, under the old rules, to dispose of the same busi t,es it would sit throughout the year. The legislation that has been enacted by the House has been disposed of without un necessary delay. One trouble has been the slow work of most of the committees. Not only have the Democrats contributed to this, bat it seems that -on nearly every important theme there is less cohesion among the Republicans than has ever be fore marked the party deliberations. This is as marked as the disagreement of the Democrats among themselves on the tariff and other questions when they were in the n-inr'v. TWe appears to be a constantly crowing tendency among members of both p-irtics to give less heed to the broad prin ciples of the parties and more to the local or sectional interests ana prejudices of the people the Congressmen respectively repre sent. GETTING 3IOKE INDEPENDENT, This is especially apparent in the matter of the tariff and Federal election bills, upon which the Republicans would be sup posed to unite without hesitation, but on which there is really a wide divergence of opinion. Frequent caucusing, while it has developed the diversity of feeling, has also contributed much toward harmony, and the determination and enthusiasm of the leaders, at whose head is the stalwart Reed, has done much to impress the rank and file that there must be a fixed policy, strong in partisan features, and that there must be no skulk ing. Much of the tendency to independent ac tion is due to a lack of aggressive and dom inating leadership in recent years, and it is very evident that the party chieftains see this and that they are determined to lay the party whip upon the backs of those who for selfish and temporary reasons show a dispo sition to kick over the traces. These are usually the newer and more obscure mem bers, whose tenure is weak, and who are ready to flirt with any influence in their uuiiunuicaiioi use 10 mem in their canvass for a renomination. CONTINUOUS SESSIONS. Another reason why the prospects for a long session grow moredistinctis the clearer realization that with each succeeding ses sion legislation accumulates, and to most of the old Congressmen it is plain that the American Parliament mustsoon hold a con tinuous session in the interests of the order ly disposal of legislation which is important to all classes, but whhh must usually either be passed in a crude condition or not passed at all. A large number of inquiries have been received by Republican members of the ays ana jieans Committee respecting the date of probable passage of the tariff bilL The date fixed in the bill for the beginning of its operations is July 1 nest, and from the statements contained in these communi cations it appears that the business of the country is in a very unsettled condition in anticipation of unlooked-for changes in the tariff. It is stated that the sugar trade in particular is depressed and disturbed. A LONG DELAY PBOBABLE. To these inquiries the reply is being made that the Senate cannot possibly pass the bill finally before the 1st of July, which fact, in itself, would necessitate a change in the date fixed in the bill, and the probabilities are that the change to be made will provide that the bill shall not take effect before the beginning of the next calendar vear, and! possibly net until the 1st of July, 1891. The committee was in session this morn ing trying to reach an understanding re specting the time to be allowed for the con sideration of the bill in the House. The Democrats wanted three weeks at least two of them to be devoted to general debate, while the Republicans desired to limit the general debate to one week, and the de tailed consideration of the bill to another week. No agreement has yet been reached and it may yet remain lor the Committee on Rules to arrange the programme. UNTIL OCTOBEE, ANYHOW. Borne members who have had an experi ence of many sessions are now predicting that the present sitting will not end nntil Recelfei" October, and the most sanguine have, since the last caucus, abandoned all hope ot get ting away from Washington during what are called the hot months. The tariff bill, the silver bill and the Federal elections bill will each demand a long disenssiou in each branch, where usually there has been but one bill ot importance equal to that of each of these. Congressmen looking after a renomination and election will therefore be compelled to ask a leavo of absence from time to time to "go home on important business," and this also will cause trouble and delay. Lightnee. ILLINOIS SENATORS ANGRY. THE PRESIDENT GIVES THEM NONE OF THE PATRONAGE. Anotlier Chicago Appointment Made Agnlnst Their Decided Opposition One Con IRnmig Has More Influence Than Bath ofTurra The Last fetraw. .'SPECIAL TELEGRAM TOTHE DISPATCH.1 Washington, May 2. The Illinois Sen ators got another black eye to-day when the -President nominated Gen. Daniel Dustin to be Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Chicago. The Illinois political workers cannot be given more plainly to uuderstand that their Senators have no influence at the White House. Their original candidate, John I. Neff, of Freeport. had. beside the support of the Senators, the backing of Con gressmen Hitt, Payson, and most of the other Republicans in the House, together with a strong pull in his favor by local poli ticians. General Dnstin's only backer of any note was Congressman Hopkins Dustin how ever, had a great element of strength in the fact that he and Harrison during the war each commanded a brigade. Hopkins made a straight out fight against Farwell being allowed to control any of the offices in Chi cago, on the gronnd that that was his home, and won. This was the only important office remaining unfilled and Senators Far well and Culfom did not expect to be treated in this as they were in the case of John M. Clark. They thought the Presi dent would endeavor in this appointment to neai me wounds caused by the Uiark ap pointment. Besides the "backing of Neff and Raymond was so strong that they thought the President would not dare nomi nate any one else, even if he were so dis posed. Congressmen Hopkins was enthusiastic to-day over the appointment "Dnstin is a grand man," he said. "He was a brilliant soldier during the war, and for two years commanded one brigade of General Ward's division in the Western armv, President Harrison commanding the other brigade. At present he is Clerk of the Circuit Court for Dekalb countv, and one of the trustees of the Soldiers Home at Qaincy, 111. His home is at Sycamore, in Dekalb county." The nomination of Dustin was confirmed an hour after being sent to the Senate. THE BIG BILL OK MONDAY. An Attempt to Rush the River nnd Ilnrbor Mensuro Through. 'GFinAI. TELEGRAM TO TIM DISPATCH-. ' Washington, May 2. It is said to be substantially settled to-night that General Henderson, of Illinois, Chairman of the River and Harbor Committee, will be recog nized on Monday for a motion to suspend the rules and pass the river and harbor bill, now on the calendar. With that view it is proposed to go into committee of the whole to-morrow and discuss the bill so that its merits may be set lorth and the objection met that so important a bill should net be passed without consideration. That was the course in the Torty-ninth Congress by Chairman BIcnchard, and unless some thing occurs in the meantime to change this programme it will be followed. Speaker Reed is determined to crowd the business mapped ont in every possible way, and hence the "special orders" reported from the Committee on Rnles. As to the river and harbor bill, it is believed that but for the Hennepin canal appropriation it contains there would be no hesitation on the part of the Speaker in recognizing General Henderson to suspend the rules. HI THE SUPREME COURT. A Lnrge Anilience Gathers Ilopicg to Hear Mr. Cleveland Speak. Washington, May 2. Ex-President Cleveland visited the Supreme Court of the United States again to-day. His presence at the court became known and the space allotted to the public was soon crowded. Tiie spectators were in hopes that they would have the opportunity of hearing the ex-President argue hiscase, butthcreare two cases ahead of it on the docket, and, as the court hears no argument after to-morrow, it is highly probable that Mr. Cleveland will not be heard until next October. Mr. Cleveland sat within the bar for some time, listening to the argument that was going on. Several of his political friends greeted him, but the most of the time the only persons with him were Thomas J. Scmmes and Richard Grav, who are asso ciated with him in the If ew' Orleans drain age cases. WANTS TO BE A SENATOR. Commissioner Raam Is Anxious to Succeed Mr. Farwell, of Illinois. rraoM a staff connisroNDEXT.i Washington, May 2. It is stated by a gentleman who ought to be good authority that Commissioner Raum, of the Pension Bureau, io fixing np his fences for the United States SenatorshiD in Illinois, to succeed Senator Farwell, the drygoods mil lionaire. General Raum. it is said, has been holding a lively correspondence with Illinois politicians recently, and just now he is in the State in person, presumably to arrange matters more definitely. In his present office of Commissioner of Pensions the General has a strong grip on the soldier element, which Farwell wilfnot have; but Farwell has a barrel, which, by some Senators, is considered more powerful than an army. SILVER AGAIN POSTPONED. The Republicans In the benato Arc Still TJn nble to Acree. Washington, May 2. The Republican Senatorial Caucus Committee of 13 will meet again to-morrow and endeavor to unite upon the form of a silver bill to be reported to the caucus. The Jones silver bill was next to the administrative customs bill on the order of business, but, in view of the fact that so far the Republicans of the Sen atehave been unable to agree upon the pro visions of a bill for the coinage of silver.the bills tor the admission of Wyoming and Idaho will be taken up lor consideration Monday and disposed of in advance of the consideration of the silv er question.

Sharp Tricks of the Opposition Aid In Iti Defeat An Amendment Adopted Which Killed the BUI A Motion for a Recon sideration. TKOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.! Washington. May 2. The defeat of the international copyright bill in the Honse to-day causes great regret among the friends of the measure, who felt certain, after all these rears of discussion and education since the origin of the movement, Congress had reached a point of understanding which would insure a majority for such a law. There was undoubtedlv a large majority for the biil up to the adoption of an amend ment offered by Payson, of Illinois, which would have had the effect to let foreign printed books in free, and which would' have thrown thousands of American print ers out of employment. The amendment was adopted without a fall understanding of its scope and then, in the diersityof opinion in regard to it, many friends of the general principle of the bill became confused, and concluded the safest thing to do was to kill the entire proposi tion. Defeat was made more certain by the mismanagement of Adams, of Illinois, who had charge of the bill, but who became con fused and made strategic mistakes which would of themselves have been fatal. It is agreed by the friends of the bill that it is killed for this session. The following shows the stand taken by the various members: THE LITTLE LIST.

Before the announcement of the result Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, wuo voled in the affirmative, changed his vote to the negative for the purpose of moving recon sideration. jjlr. Hopkin, of Illinois, moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, and Mr. Adams, ot Illinois, to take a recess. A vote was taken on the recess motion and it was defeated, but as the hour of 5 o'clock had arrived the Chair declared that under the rule the House was in recess until 5 o'clock. The motion to reconsider and to lay that motion on the table goes over to be acted upon to-morrow. A TTXT BETWEEN SENATORS. The Cnstonis Administrative BUI, However, Scores an Easy Victory. ISrECIAL TELEQHA1I TO TUB DISPATCH.l Washington, May 2. The little mis understanding between the New York Sena tors over the customs administrative bill which passed to-day, is the subject of much gossip among the Senators. 'When the fact developed in the debate that Messrs. Evarts and Hiscock had different views about the propriety of providing for the trial of contested appealed cases by jury, a cessation of hostilities were arranged, and later Mr. Hiscock announced that a com promise had been effected by which the bill was to be amended so as to provide that the presiding judge should have authority to decide whether or not a jury trial should be had. Then Mr. Hiscock made a speech saying that this amendment would be accepted by the Finance Committee and that all was peace between him aud his colleague. To day Senator Hiscock was conspicuously absent from the Senate chamber. This fact saved him the humiliation of hearing Sen ator Allison, on behalf of the Finance Committee, repudiate the compromise ar rangement of the New York Senator. The amendment was defeated and the bill passed without the vote of Mr. Hiscock. OH IKK CROWFOOT DEAD. A Good Indian in More Meanings of tho Wold Tlinn One. ISFECIAL TELZOBAU TO TUB DISPATCU.1 Ottawa, May 2. A dispatch from the Indian reservation at Gleichen, N. W. T., announces the death of Chief Crowfoot, the most prominent Indian in the Northwest He was chief of the Blackfoot tribe. He was sick four days, death being caused by in flammation of the lungs. He made a will, and gave away all his horses. He also rec ommended his people to do like the white man, and work at their lands. He said that his brother, Three Bulls, should succeed him as chief. Chief Crowfoot was a friend of the white men and pleaded theircause in the dimcul ties which arose from time to lime. He was a protector and friend of the missionary, and allowed his children to be baptized. During the Northwest rebellion Crowfoot, notwithstanding the message of the cele brated Cree Indians, remained faithful to the Government. In solemn assembly of his nation, at Blackfoot crossing, in" the presence of Lieutenant Governor Downey and Father Lacombe, he gave his word that nnthinc might be feared on the part of the Blackfeet that he and his would remain loyal, and he kept his word.

ONLY 12 CENTS IN THE VAULTS Of One of the Institutions When the Doors Were Closed. QDITE A CRASH AT ATLANTIC CITY. The Merchants' State Bant, With a Hnmher Branches, Forced to Suspend. Yesterday the Merchants' Bank, of At lantic City, the Fidelity Trust Company, of Camden, N. J., and the Port Norris, N. J., bank, suspended payment. The latter only had 12 cents left when the doors closed. The Merchants' Bank has a nnmber of branches through New Jersey. All are con nected with the defunct Bank of America. rsrECIAL TELBOBJLM TO TI1B DISFATCn.1 Atlantic City, May 2. The Mer chants' Bank, a State institution, closed its doors at 2 o'clock this afternoon, a notice be ing posted that payment had been tempor arily suspended owing to a run on the parent bank and its Mullica Hill, Fleasant ville, Egg Harbor and Elmer branches. The capital stock of the Merchants' Bank is $50,000 and the deposits are fully up to that amount. The depositors were mostly peonle of limited means. There is a semi-paralysis to-night over the discovery, that comes late, that the crash to day was the result of the Macfarlane-Work lailure. There is little doubt that the whole collapse here was expected. Mullica Hill, which is only ten miles from Gloucester, felt the tremble of the first collapse, and when it dropped upon Pleasantville, after having passed Mullica Hill, it startled At lantic City. in the same crowd. There was no reason why the Merchants' Band should suspend, save that it had an indirect connection with the wreckers of the Bank of America. It was organized here by a well known Philadelphian, Joseph S. Flanagan, who, with several Camden peo ple, got a charter from the Legislature of New Jersey. They brought people from Estellville, N. J into the scheme and they reached out to May's Landing, in this county. Flanagan was one of the old-time hotel managers of Philadelphia. When he opened this bank in 188G he had as partner in tho concern Charles L. Work, President of the defunct Gloucester City National Bank and President of the defunct Camden Trust and Safe Deposit Company, The Bank of America was made the father of the new concern and was at once made correspond ent of the Merchants' here. This contract lasted for a year or two and it is only lately that this relation ceased. This is the story of the bank's history as learned to-night. There seems to be no mistaking the fart that the Bank of America scheme was not only worked in.the suburbs of Philadelphia, but that it had Its ramifications all through New Jersey. The officers are: Cashier, Oliver R. Dunkle; Directors, Theodore H. Boysen, M. D., O. R, Dunkle, WilliamJiI. Colson, J. H. Mounce, Albert Parker, C. W. Elkinton, John Schwinghammer and Frank W. Beeves. the last STATrr'T" The annual meeting was held January 22, and the auditing committee presented the following report: Assets, cash on hand, 35,901 83; expense account, 5487 18; iurni ture and fixtures, 12,327 76; bills receiv able, 864,432 18; due from bank, 515,023 23: tubal, v'?",-" J-u. .uiauilllies, capital 510C&T, $50,000; deposits, $41,503 04; due to banks, 2,671 64; undivided profits, 3,934 90; total, 98,172 18. No statement has been m.ide public since that date. To-night Mr. Dunkle refuses to make any positive statement or to be interviewed. Mayor Hoffman, who seems to be familiar with all the dealings of the financial insti tutions of the city, says that no material in terest connected with Atlantic City will be affected with the suspension of to-day. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: The Fidelity Security Trust and Safe Deposit Company, of Camden, is another institu tion connected with the Work-MacFarlane combine to go under. About 10:30 to-day the Treasurer, J. Austin Ellison, posted on the window a notice with these words: "Temporary suspension of payments, Cam den, N. J., Mav 2." On Thursdav Ellison gave positive assurances tnat the company was perfectlv solvent. This assurance by no means satisfied the depositors, and when, the doors opened to-day there were a num ber of depositors in waiting to draw their money out. A BLTJFP UNTIL THE LAST. A number called to be assured that the company was all right, and up to a few minutes of the time of closing-, Mr. Ellison assured everybody that the" company was all right. The company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey nearly a year ago, and has never done a large business. About three months ago the present building, 503 Federal street, was improved and the company took dos session. The officers of the concern are Charles L. Work, Alphens McCracken, John C. McNaughton, Harlan Page, Will iam B. Rambo, Samuel W. Stokes and J. Austin Ellison, Directors. Work is well known and a son of George F. Work, and is also President of the Gloucester City Bank. McCracken is a clerk in the West Jersey Railroad Company. McNaughton is a di rector in the Bank of America. No one in Camden could be found who had ever heard of Page. William B. Rambo is a large manuiacturer ot JNorrlstown. and is con nected with the' Asphalt Block Company. Stokes is the cashier of the broken Glouces ter City National Bank. J. Austin Ellison came to Camden from Wilmington, Del., about a year ago to take charge of the Fidelity Company. He was a teller in the Bank of Wilmington and Brandywine of that city. From the first the people of Camden put but very little confidence in the new com pany. It bad considerable difficulty in getting along. Notwithstanding the fact that it claimed a capital stock ol 200,000, it is asserted that only a small percentage of this was paid in. AND STILL ANOTHEE. The Port Norris Bank, a branch of the Camden Fidelity Security and Trust Com pany, closed its doors this noon. Its deficit of deposits is 11,000, and this belongs mostly to oyster men and small merchants, upon whom the loss falls heavily. Several ot the more prominent business men had small deposits to encourage the new bank and for their own local convenience, though they have viewed the bank as very uncertain from its beginning, which was established' about a year ago. The Cumberland Bank, at Bridgeton, sent its checks down for col lection by special carrier just before noon, which were promptly pud, and with a bravado that was astonishing, for soon after ward, when the next check was presented, it was answered that only 12 cents remained in the bank. Its doors were immediately closed. Then the poor people of the village became tran tic when they learned that all had been lost. Many became very despondent and others riotous. The acting cashier, who bad entire control of the branch, was William M. Pease, a prominent resident, but who was so controlled by the home bank at Camden that bnt little blame is attaohed to him. The oyster season closed yesterday and many poor men have lost their season's sayings. SAVED BI HIS BROTHER. ONE CONVICTED FOR A BURGLARY COM MITTED BY THE OTHER. The Latter Appears in Court nnd Gives Himself Dp His Deed Rewarded by a Sentence to the Reformatory The Jadgo In Grent Donbr. ISr-ECtU, TELEGRAM TO THS DISPATCH. I NewYobk, May 2. Henry Finnegan was tried in the General Sessions for bur glary and convicted. O n the following day his brother, Daniel Finnegan, who looks much like Henry when he has his hat on, surrendered himself at the bar and declared that he was the missing burglar, and that his brother Henry knew nothing of the burglary. He was committed to the Tombs. Both brothers were arraigned to-day before Judge Martine for sentence, Henty Finnegan under his conviction and Daniel under his plea of guilty. Withi their hats off the brothers do not look alike be cause Daniel's hair isaheryredand Henry's is black, and Daniel has no mustache to speak of and Henry has a well grown black one. Policeman Schenck was positive that it was Daniel who escaped from him at the time of the discovery ot the burglary, and ho told Judge Martine that when he arrested Henry five days after the burglary he ex pressed surprise that Henry's mustache had grown so rapidly. But Henry Graef, a neighbor who saw the burglary, stoutly stuck to his identification of Henry Finne gan. "This is certainly an extraordinary case," said Jndge Martine. "I have carefully in quired into it, but my mind is not fully satisfied. As you, Daniel Finnegan, have never been before convicted, and as you showed by coming forward as you did and trying to save your brother lrom the conse quences of a crime which you say he did not commit, that you have at least some good traits. I shall not send you to a penal institution to which your two associates in the burglary, Eagan and Flannagan, were sent. I sentence yon instead to the Elmira Reformatory. As lor you, Henry, I am not altogether satisfied 'that the verdict convicting you, justified as it certainly was by the evidence on your trial, was not a proper one. In my own mind I have some doubt' as to whether your brother did not in terfere to save you from a term of imprison ment believing that he, under the circum stances, would not be severely punished. I will, however, suspend sentence'in your case. If at any time I am convinced you had nothing whatever to do with this burg lary I will crant you a new trial nnd dismiss the indictment against you. But you go now simply under a suspension of sentence. You are discharged." HOMICIDE IS SAFE NOW. A New York Judge's Opinion of the Pres ent Enforcement of'lho Lnvr. New Yobk, May 2. Frank Buch hit August Schlansky, the elderly janitor of houses at 8 Elizabeth street, on the head with a board on January 7. Schlansky died. Buch and four other Italians were in dicted for murder in the first degree, but it was found that Schlansky had died of heart disease, accelerated by the excitement of the fight, and to-day Judge Martine accepted the plea of manslaughter. "Homicide" said he, "has come to be about the safest crime for a man to commit. If he wonnds his enemy or steals his prop erty he is reasonably sure of receiving severe punishment. But if he kills him he can feel quite confident that some lawyer, some corporation or some individual lull of f maudlin sentimentality will Uke all pos sible care tnat it any human agency can avert such a fate he does not dio by the hand of the law. For tfie slayer there is any amount of sym pathy; lor the slain there is none. I do "not share in this misdirected sentiment. My sympathy is with the dead, and I am of the opinion that every man who takes the life of another with deliberation and premedita tion should pay the forfeit of his life." Judge Martine then sentenced Frank Buch to State Prison for seven and a half years; Dumazio to the penitentiary for nine months, and Domenico Buch, Francisco P. Bjich and Vinccnso Francisco to the pen itentiary for one year. A CHARGE OF PERJURY. Witnesses In the Frost Divorce Caso Now In Serious Tronble. IGFICIAX. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCn.1 Oswego, N.

The warrants of arrest were issued upon affidavits made by Edgar E. Frost, the plaintiff, and Mrs. Carrie Ji. Aliddleton. and Mrs. Ada Alkenback, whom Mrs. Frost in her cross bill for divorce alleges were intimate with her husband. Both sides are backed by wealth and in fluence, and the battle for divorce is a bitter one. At ihe last trial Mrs. Frost's interests were looked after by the Hon. W. A. Toucher, while District Attorney Merrick Stowell appeared tor the plaintiff. The wholesale arre.it of the defendant's witnesses is denounced as a conspiracy and an at tempt to drive them from the State. As a retaliatory measure warrants have been is sued for about 20 of the plaintiff's witnesses, including the correspondents. CHICAGO ALIEN LABOR To be Investigated bv Two Newly Appointed Immigrant Inspectors. Chicago, May 2. Two immigrant in spectors have been ordered by Secretary Windom, at Washington, to report in Chicago to Collector Clark for duty in con nection with the enforcement of the alien contract labor law, which prohibits the im portation of foreign workmen under con tract. The reason for sending the inspectors to Chicago is said to be that the department had been advised that an effort would be made to get carpenters lrom Canada to take the place of men on strike here. One of the inspectors reported to Collector Clark to day, and is now at work. The other is ex pected to reach the city to-morrow.

Coopers, Iron and Wood-Workers, McCor mick's, and Car Shop Men J0IJT THE GKEAT AEMT OP IDLEKS. Signs of More Tronble Ahead In Labor Ranks Varions Qqarters. In The strike fever shows no sign of abating at Chicago. On the contrary, it is attacking all classes ot workers. Among those who went out yesterday were employes of reaper works, founders, molders, coopers and car shop hands. There was no disorder. Chicago, May 2. The threatened strikes in this city, which may be said to have tech nically begnn on yesterday when organized labor took its holiday, were not made appa rent till this morning, when the men failed to resume work at mauy shops. The Black road, in the vicinity of Mc Cormick's reaper works, had much the same appearance this morning that it had four years ago to-day. . None but strikers could be seen, and they had entire possession. Every man, boy and girl employed in the malleable iron works, corner of Twenty sixth and Rockwell streets, is out. The total number of employes is 1,200. Among them ar50 girls, employed as coremakers in the foundry. no pabticolae eeason was assigned by them for quitting work. A committee, consisting ol two men from each department, was appointed last night to wait upon the officials, but they seemed disin clined to go before their employers and make a statement. President F. P. Bailey called the strikers about him and npbraided them for going out without notice, and told them that when they found out what they wanted, to let him know their demands. The men seemed not to know what to say in reply. The Chairman ot the Molders' Committee says they want ten hours as a day's work, 15 per cent ad vance in wages, and 50 per cent extra for over time. At the great McCormick Reaper Works about 50 molders went out, and work was progressing as usual. One hundred and fifty men in the foundries of Barnum &. Richardson, and a like nnmber in that of the Ajax Forge Company, went out, and those concerns are closed. As elsewhere, no formal demand was made on the employers. At the Chicago Car Wheel Foundry and the Wells and French Car Company most of the molders also went out. big shops without woekees. At the Wells & French Car Co.'a shops every one of the 1,000 employes went out and the shops were closed. The two hun dred blacksmiths were the only ones who made known their demand, which was for eight hours as a day's work. At F. F. Roberts' foundry it was said that the men seemed anxious'for cither a strike or a va cation, so the works has been shut down till next Monday to accommodate them and to make repairs. Over 100 men are idle here. Nearly all the molders at the Chicago Car Wheel Co.'s foundry are out. The entire number of employes of theN. K. Fairbank Compiny, about 550, will go out Monday. The coopers, numbering 80, struck this morning. This is something of a surprise, as the men employed there are securing better wages than those generally paid by tho large concerns. They want eight hours wors ana nine hours pay. The coopers are earnest in their demand for eight honrs, and in all portions of the city the men are quitting work on a refusal of the employers to surrender. , COOPEES ALL QUIT. In the northwestern districts of the city there is not one cooper at work. From 3,000 to 4,000 sash-doorand-biind men walked out of the various factories in the south west lumber district this morning. The action was apparently without warning. The men came to their places of employment as usual this morning and, with only a' few exceptions, proceeded to work wfien the whistles blew. An hour or so later thev threw down their tools and quietly walked out, giving no explanation and without any sort of scene. A rumor that ihe planing-mill men would quit to-morrow morning could not be traced to any reliable source. It was also said that all wood-workers, in whatever branch of the business, were restless, and might join in the strike at any moment. Everything re mained quiet, notwithstanding the large number ot men idle, and the police say they do not anticipate any trouble. SIOEE JOIN THE BANKS. Four hnudred men in Denman & Dnrkas' furniture factory struck for eight hours this morning, and 700 employes of the Chicago Cottage Organ factory did the same for a like cause. Several thousand lumber shavers in the lumber district, along the Black road, are dissatisfied and a strike is anticipated among them. The board of arbitration, chosen to settle the differences between the striking car penters and the new bosses' association, has been in secret session all day, and is under stood to have made satisfactory progress. It was announced late this 'afternoon that eight 'hours as a regular day's work had been agreed on. At the first session to-day the letter from the old bosses' association was read. It claimed that this association employs a majority of the carpenters of the city, and that no effective settlement can be made without the assent of this body. It further says that the members of the asso ciation are ready to concede the eight-hour day and to treat with their men as to wages, but thev decline to submit to arbitration the proDOsition to recognize the union to the ex tent of preventing themselves from hiringor discharging whatever men they may choose to employ or dismiss. AWAITING A COMPROMISE. A Now Movement In the Carpenters' Brother hood nt New York. SPECIAL TELEOKAM TO TBI DTSPATCn.l New Yobk, May 2. After all the talk and parade of last night the labor world was quiet to-day. The most important an nouncement of the day about' the eight-hour movement in this city came from what had hitherto been con sidered a hostile element. The movement here has been put into the hands of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters. There stiil remained two regular unions of the same trade, who were not in the movement and whose hostility was feared. Of these the United Order of Carpenters was considered especially dangerous, from the fact that it has a com plete organization, and contains first-class workmen. Unquestionably many of the employers who have thought of resisting the eight-hour demand, have depended upon the support of the united order. The following is the official declaration: The District Committee of the United Order of American Carpenters and Joiners will meet at their headquarters, 145 East Eighth street, on Saturday evening, and during the coining strike, to hear reports from shops. All mem bers are hereby notified to come out wltn mem bers of other carpenters' organizations where strikes occur. It is thought nine hours will probably be 'S1- agreed on. Powderly's recent declarations ot sympathy are taken as indications that the 'Knights are likely to follow the action of the united orders. President Gompers, of the American Federation, is expected back in New York to-morrow, and may be present at the meeting in Webster Hall to morrow night. The employing carpenters are awaiting developments. There have been rumors of a combination on their part, but there appears to be no truth in these. DISSATISFACnON IN ST. LOUIS. Several Different Trades Will Demand an Increase or Strlkn on BIondnT. St. Louis, May 2. The success of the labor parade yesterday has been a source of much rejoicing among workingmen to-day and hopes are expressed that there will be no serious trouble between them and their bosses. In some of the trades, how ever, there is considerable dissatisfaction either as to hours or wages and several demands will 'be made next week. The planing mill men, it is said, will strike on Monday, the proprietors baying refused to adopt the eight-hour day. The harness makers will notify their bosses to-morrow that, beginning Monday, they will refuse to work unless they receive an advance of 15 per cent in wages for an eight-hour day, and it is reported that the quarrymen will also demand fewer honrs and more pay. The carpenters, it is said, will not strike. They now receive 35 cents per hour for an eight-hour day, but there is still a difference between them and the bosses in regard to union men working with non-nmon men, and it is not yet Known what the result will be. The union men will hold a mass meeting to-morrow night, when a plan of action will be determined upon for next week. The ironworkers in the Jupiter Pig Iron Works struck yesterday afternoon lor an advance of 15 cents per day and a pay day every two weeks. This demand was imme diately complied, with by the superin tendent of the works and the men resumed labor at once with cheers and the waving of hats. The strike lasted only a few minutes. GOMPERS TALKS MODERATION. Lonlsville Firms Fall to Agree to Striking Carpenters' Demands. Louisville, May 2. The Builders' Exchange has as yet taken no official notice of the carpenters' strike. A number of smaller firms have signed an agreement to stand by the decision as to the hours and wages, which may be reached by an arbitration committee; but only one or two large firms. Mo3t of the large firms have failed to sign the agreement. The men at work on the Custom House, 100 in number, have struck. Men from outside are to be secured and the work proceed. President Gompers is still here and made a speech this afternoon, counseling moder ation with firmness. A large number of recruits have been added to the union to day. Enthusiastic meetings are in progress to-night. An Agreement In Indiana. Teeee Haute, May 2. The Indiana operators and miners of bituminous mines to-night.reached an agreement on the wage schedule. The price is said to be 70 cents a ton the year ronnd. The Worklngmen's Campaign. All Peoria mines idle. The Columbus scale indorsed. Few carpenters at work in Boston. Nearly 2,000 more are out.

AT A Tho Accommodations and Food Must be Equal, Tlowever A Definite Steamboat Decision by a Federal Judge Points of the Case. 1BPEC1AL TZLEOBAK TO TBS DISPATCH. 1 Baltimoee, May 2. Judge Bond, of the United States Circuit Court, rendered a very important decision to-day in the case of Robert A. McGinn, a negro who had brought suit for damages against a steam boat company. McGinn purchased a first class ticket for passage from Baltimore to Millbeck, Va., on the steamer Mason L. Weems. In accordance with the regula tions of the steamer there were two tables in all respects equal, one exclusively for colored passengers. McGinn took his seat at the table intended tor white passengers. Three white men were seated at that table and no persons were seated at the other table. Complaint was made by the white pas sengers and the Captain politely requested the negro to move to the table intended for colored passengers, which he refused to do. The Captain then requested the white pas sengers to occupy the other table. All who desired supper did so. McGinn remained at the first table and ate his supper. Judge Bond dismissed the bill and said: "That steamboat companies and all other common carriers are bound to furnish equal accommodations for passengers without dis tinction of race or color has long been held in this circuit. A first class ticket insures to the holder of it first-class accommodations, if first class accommodations are provided over the line on which such tickets secure transpor tation. From the statement of facts this seems to have been done upon the steamer upon which the libellant was a psssenzer. There were provided in the same saloon two tables of equal spread, with the same food and like attendance. The steamboat com- Eany made a separation, but no distinction etween passengers, and the appellant by his conduct appears to be the only person on board who did so, or put any affront on the colored passengers by refusing to sit with them." RAILWAY SURGEONS' ELECTION. The Choice of OOlcers nt tho Close of the Convention. Kansas City, May 2. The National Association of Railway Surgeons concluded its annual meeting here to-day and ad journed to meet at Buffalo May 2, 1891.

Contnbntloas Intended for One Body Secured by the Opposition. Two societies claim to be the "First Young Women's Christian Temperance. Union of Philadelphia." The fight has been carried to court on an application for a charter. The question of partisan action started the trouble. rSFECTAX. TEtXOBAJt TO THE DISPATCn.l Philadelphia, May 2. Grievances of rival Young Women's Christian Temper ance Unions were taken into Court of Com mon Pleas No. 3, to-day by the filing of ex ceptions for a charter for "an intended cor poration to be called 'the first "Young Women's Christian Temperance Union of Philadelphia' for themselves and on behalf ot what they claim to be the only original and genuine Young Women's Christian Temperance Union, of Philadelphia." The exceptions are made by Marion B. Heritage, President, and others. The present proceedings grow out of a split in the original first Y. W. C. T. U. over the passage of a resolution against tak ing part in partisan political action. Miss Heritage and the other young ladies who join her in signing tha exceptions first tell of the organization of the young women's unions in 18S0 and the adoption of thewords "first," "second" and "third," and so on, to designate the different organizations having the same purpose under uniform constitu tion and by-laws. NON-PAKTISAN ACTION. "Believing that the best results for the cause of Christian temperance can be ac complished by adhering strictly to the non partisan basis laid down in our constitution, we herewith withdraw from all connection with the Philadelphia Countv, the Pennsyl vania, and the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union; by so doing' we assume a position consistent with our constitution, which for the pa3t year has been out of har mony with the political spirit of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union." The consequences of this action are suc cinctly told by Miss Heritage, and the other women, as follows: The onlytwo members who voted against this resolution were Anna M. Greene and Rachel B. Berm. Anna M. Greene and her sister, Sallie H. Greene, are two snbscriberi for the application ot the charter, and thev appeared to be greatly incensed at the adoption ot the above resolntion. Of their own motion, without any regular authority and in entire disregard "for the laws of the association, they issued a call lor a meetingot the union to be held February 6, 1890, at their residence, which was not the regular place, stating that it wonld be necessary to elect new officers, the old ones having all withdrawn. This statement wa3 wholly false, as none had withdrawn. At that irregular meeting, so called by Anna M. and Sallie H. Greene, there was only one member present, Mrs. W. L. Price, Tind these three, although the constitution pro vides that nine shall constitute a quorum, proceeded to transact business and added to the roll a number of persons without any lawful authority whatever. THEY WEBE HUSTLEBS. "After the meeting on February 6, 1890, the new members created by them and the three ladies who met, created without any shadow of regularity or right, 'the first Y. W. C. T. U. of Philadelphia,' and contribu tions were solicited in churches and else where where the elder association had been accustomed to have support. The conduct in this respect had tended to prodnce mis understanding and to hinder the associa tion in the discharge of its work. So far from objecting to the formation of a new organization in good faith to pursue the work to which we have devoted ourselves, we will heartily welcome them, but we re spectfully protest against the granting of the charter by the title of "The First Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union," because it will create confusion and facili tate fraud, which has already been the ef fect of the wholly unwarranted assumption of the title by the persons now applying for this charter." As samples of the "fraud" which may "be facilitated," the signers to the exceptions say that persons have subscribed to the new organization under the impression that they were helping to support the old. In con cluding their appeal to the court the ex ceptants charge that the similarity of the names of Josephine Oakford, Florence M. Taylor and Lily F. Jones, as subscribed to the charter lor the new organization to the names of Fanny Oakford, Alice M. Taylor, ann H. F. Jones, supporters of the old organization, is not only a "coincidence of names, bnt in view of the identity of the title is too striking to have occurred inno cently or unintentionally." NEITHEE MONEY NOR LIBERTY. A Bunko Prince Who Got Hold of the Wrong IudivlduaL rEPECIAI. TXLEOBJJt TO THB DISPATCH. 1 New Yobk, May 2. Goebler, the barber, the pursuer of bunko men, the proprietor of a big revolver, it appears got back at last his $1,550, of which he was robbed in a joint in Marion street last December. After vari ous adventures he succeeded on February 16 in catching the head of the bunko gang, "Colonel" Charles E. Morgan, who was indicted for grand larceny is tho first degree. Several days after his arrest, so Morgan's counsel said in the General Sessions to-day, Goeb ler was invited to meet some of Morgan's friends' in a Jersey City saloon. The re sult of the conference was that the con fidence man whom he met gave him back his 1,550 and a through ticket to Saa Francisco. But Goebler changed his mind in Chicago, got off the train, and was ar rested while flourishing a pistol. After this be came back to this city to have some more fun with bunko men. It is said that he let "Colonel" Morgan know that though he, Goebler, wore a silk hat, kid gloves and a cane, he was about at the end ot the 1,550 and wanted 5,000 more and a ticket for Enrope. Thereupon the "Colonel" determined to dodge the barber and to-day in the General Sessions before Judge Martine he pleaded gnilty and was sentenced to -State prison tor two years and six months.
