riTHIE LAHBIXQ iKSWIBS LTHCE'S LETTER
IFKOM A STAFF COKKESFOXDEITT.:
Ml. Pleasant, April 8. STine men
charged with riot and riotous destruction of
property were before 'Squire McCaleb this
afternoon and gave bail in the sum of $500
for tbeir appearance at court. The majority
ot these men were members of the brass
bind which was with the strikers when they
made the raid at 3Iorewood the Monday
morning before the killing, and their de
fense will probably be that they were merely
hired for their music, and were not really a
part of the rioters.
Those who gave bail to-day are Harry
Buckley, James Baldwin, James Agan,
Robert Nixon, James Lane, Patrick ilc
Docougb, William and Hart Binehart and
Michael Barrett Tbe latter is one of the
main men among tbe local labor people.
He is on tbe executive board. The infor
mations were made by Superintendent Mor
ris Ramsey.
Did Not Want to Imprison Them.
'Squire McCaleb said his reason for mak
ing tbe bonds only $500 was becansesomeot
the men were unable to give a greater one,
and be did not want to send them to jail.
Tbe bond, as it is, is large enough, as the
men all seem willing to stand trial. So far
none have been arrested, but hare merely
been notified to go to 'Squire's office, and
have all done so. There are a number of
others who will be notified and will appear
to-morrow.
James McBryde came to Mr, Pleasant to
day from Scottdale to have warrants issued
for the arrest of the deputies who, under the
command of Dr. Boar, shot the strikers, to
answer to a charge of murder. He applied to
'Squire McCaleb for warrants, but that gen
tleman asked until to-morrow for him to
secure counsel on the question, as he is not
fully conversant with the law on the matter.
Very Anxious for Murder Warrants.
Mr. McBryde was too anxious to hare the
matter settled, so he left for Scottdale to get
iervice from there. There is no lawyer here,
and 'Squire McCaleb would have to send to
Greensburg for advice on the matter. An
other reason given by the Justice was that
his constable is sick.
The labor men in general don't like the
fact that the 'Squire refused to issue the
warrants, but he does not care to make a
move that he would have to back: out of. He
also believes that military men are ex
empt from arrest. In McBryde's informa
tion he charges tbe accused men with "pre
meditation and malice." This is pretty
hard for the majority of the people to be
lieve. 'Squire McCaleb said he could hard
ly believe that part of it
John T, Stauffer, one of the best known
nld citizens of Mt. Pleasant, in conversa
tion with The Dispatch representative
on this questio . said: "The fact that Cap
tain Boar was burned in effigy bv the
striken will have a tendency against him
in this case. Until that was done he prob
ably had no reason for enmity against any
of them. Now
The Argument Will Bo Advanced
that he felt angered at the men who had done
it and ordered the firing perhaps sooner than
he would otherwise have done. I don't be
lieve his men had any reasons for malice.
They wero merely ou duty because their Cap.
tain asked them to go with him. It certainly
would have been much better had they never
been there because they are local men and
doubtless have many friends among the
strikers. Tbey were not compelled to go. but.
of course, when tbeir Captain asked them to
go they considered it almost equal to a com
mand. I know one of the boys who Las a brother
among the strikers and ho declares that he
didn't want to go."
Major Genera! George R. Snowden. accom
panied by two of his staff officers. Lieutenant
Colonel R. S. Cullian and Major Barton D.
Evans, came to Mt Pleasant at the request of
Governor Pattison to look over the ground of
the disturbance. They visited Morewood and
Scottdale during the day. It is probable that
the gentlemen will return to their homes to
morrow. Ko official significance can be at
tached to their visit here. Both the regiments
on duty here had dress parade this eening,the
Tenth at Morewood and the Eighteenth at the
depot. Major Kay, of the Kighteeutb, will go
to Scottdale to bold a coart-martial in tbe case
of two privates who donned "store clothes"
and went out to view the town.
The Coroner's Inqnest Agsln.
To-morrow the Coroner's inquest will re
contene in this place. A number of witnesses
will first be heard on behalf of the strikers and
then the other side will present a few wit
nesses. Morris Bamsey said that very little
testimony will be offered from their side of the
case.
There Is some talk that the Coroner will ad
journ the mqueat soon after It opens and open
it again in Greensburg. He is not very anxious
to have the deputies accused of the killing to
appoar before him in a crowd of men who arc,
to say the least, very friendly toward the
strikers. Pabkeb,

Ill Reply to General Manager Lynch Con
tains "othlng to Change the Sitnxllon.
ScoxTDALE. April a Father Lainbing has
written another letter to General Manager
Thomas Lynch, replying to that gentle
man's answer to his recent coramuni
eitlcn. This last missive contains the
following: ''Probably I should have kept ont
of the matter entirely. Certainly the treat
ment received from some of tbe operators, and
tbe men, in 1SS6 admonished me to do to. bat
God, tbe Lord of tUe employer and tbe em
ployed, to whom all most account for tbeir
conduct, is my Master, Him only should I fear,
not them.
"If anyone "has cnarged that the employes
or the H. C. Fiitk Coke Companyare generally
poor on account of poor wages, he speaks un
truly. This,1 however, must not be understood
as affirming that 1 think tbey are getting
enoujh, or that the company could not give
more. As to the outbreaks. I am aware that
this is not the first. Nor is this any longer a
question of wages: more's the pityl But grant
ing all this. I cannot but believe the trouble
could have been averted, or amicably settled
and better. It is not necessary to state what
otherreasons I have for this than those in the
appeals. You know them all."
TWO DOLLARS AND WORK
OFFERED TO THE HUNGRY AMONG THE
STAHDABD STRIKERS.
A Posted Notice to That Effect Looks Like
Sarcasm Varied Reports of the Number
of Men at "Work Five of Them Induced
to Quit.
IFBOM A STAFF COBEESrOKDIXT.t
Mt. Pleasant, Aprii 8. To-day at the
Standard stores a notice was posted which
reads: "Anybody who is hungry can secure
an order for J2 worth of provisions if he will
go to work at once." The strikers say it is
not a good bait so soon after rations have
been issued. The notice is believed to have
been posted by some of the strikers as a lit
tle piece of sarcasm. Bookkeeper Hoke, of
Morewood, reported this evening that he
had 80 names on his pay roll.
Several reports were given out as the num
ber of extra men who went to work to-day.
First 22 was tbe number; then it was 18, and
at ouu o clock lb was tbe number given out
One of tbe yard bosses declared that there
were in all 75 men at work. A committee of
labor men were appointed to-day to visit men
now working and snow wherein tbey will be
beneflted by holding out Five men quit work
to-day. and others are expected to quit to
morrow. Two of the men reported as having
gone are Lewis Davis and John Cope: the oth
ers are Hungarians.
Oneot tbe strikers said this evening that
there was good enough reason for them not
going to work individually, as heretofore the
men who tried to help the company through
were the very first to be blacklisted and be
thrown out of work. They say that men have
been run out of the region by failing to secure
work atter they gone ou a strike.
FLOCKING TO" JOHNSTOWN.

tfMCI.lI. TELEQUAX TO TUB DISrATCS.I
Joekstown, April 8. An investigation by
the police to-day revealed the fact that hun
dreds of Hungarians have come to this city
within the past few days from the vicinity of
Morewood. Tbey have congregated in tbe
Fifteenth ward, where a number ot their coun
trymen live, and are buddled together there,
as many as 50 men and women being found in
one house.
It is estimated that there are 300 more fami
lies in tbarvne ward than there were several
weeks ago. They seem to have their leaders,
who keep them well posted as to what is going
on in the coke region. Some of tbem have ap
plied for work here, but the majority of them
spend tbeir time in playing cardB and drinking,
tnougb so far there has not been the slightest
disturbance.
CHICAGO YET IN DOUBT.
BOTH PARTIES CLAIMING EVEEYIHING
AND CEYING FRAUD.
It Will Take the Official Count to Deter
mine the Result A Similarity In the
Kamis of Candidates Cansea Some
Trouble,
Chicago. April 8. At midnight to
night both Bepublicaus and Democrats
were claiming to be victors in the exciting
election for the Mayoralty, Each side,
however, had practically minimized its
claim to a plurality of 200 or 300. The of
ficial count, to begin to-morrow, was being
awaited with impatience, the narrowness of
the margin for either party and the charges
and counter charges of fraud make the sus
pense almost distracting. The Democrats
put forward the assertion that in scores of
instances, the votes for Elmer Washburne, the
citizens' candidate, were deliberately counted
for Hempstead Washburne, the Republican
nominee, such a substitntlon being facilitated
by the similarity of names.
On the other hand, the Republicans protest
that in one precinct alone at the stockyards
over 100 votes were deposited for names that
were refused registration, and that some of the
names are those of persons who have been dead
for weeks or months. In this particular pre
cinct, it is charged, affairs were so manipulated
that every judge and clerk without exception
were Democrats, and tte plurality for Crejier
was something abnormal. People to-night were
inclined to believe that the many alleged mis
takes and changes in estimates were in the in
terests ot the gambling fraternity, and were
designed to give, certain big bookmakers a
chance to hedge out on their bets.
Ex-Mayor Carter H. Harrison announces his
permanent retirement from political life. He
says he proposes to leave- Chicago for good,
and either travel or go on a farm. Concerning
the tactics of the Creiger wing of the Democ
racy. Mr. Harrison said to-day in an interview:
"it was in a line with its action for the past
two months fraudulent, intimidating, cor
rupting and disgraceful. It was a revelation
to me. for I had never before attended the
polls in the hoodlum districts. Wilder ami
more disgraceful orgies, more besotted sav
agery anu open appeals to buyers of votes
could not exist in tbe most ignorant of South
ern plantation districts."
A MISSING BODY.
The-Nephew of a Suicide Hunting for the
Latter8 Remains.
1CPXCIAL TELXOBAM TO THI DISPATCK.I
Cincinnati. April 8. R. F. Dow, of Elgin.
111., is in tbe city trying to locate tbe body of
Dr. M. Chambers, bis uncle. Dr. Chambers Is
the man who died in the Hotel Martin from an
overdose of poison. When his body was taken
charge of by the Coroner nothing but a few
cents were found on It Inquiries were made
tor bis relatives, ana after a week Coroner
Bange received a telegram from a woman in
Mew Orleans, who claimed to be Chambers'
wife. She was very particular in her inquiry
about what property was found on his person,
but left tbe order of Free Masons to burv bim.
saying she would not be here. Afterreceiving
the telegram Coroner Bange ordered the body
buried, and it was interred in the Potters'
field.
Now It seems the news of Chambers' death
has just reached his relatives. Mr. Dow says
that his uncle was possessed of considerable
means, receiving big royalties on several valu
able patents. He came to Cincinnati on bi3
way to Washington to look after some of his
patouts, and was supposed to have plenty or
money. An investigation shows that Cham
bers' body has been removed from the city
cemetery, and has probably been taken to
some medical college. Mr. Dow says that
Chambers was never married, and that the
woman in Sew Orleans is an impostor. The
case is a very mysterious one. and in all proba
bility the police will be called upon to help
solve the problem.

and Is secreted somewhere on the West Side.
The boy is belr to a fortune of SSOtOOO. A

A Row on Between the Barge Office and
the Steamship Companies In Cortse
qennce The Protest of One of the Com
panies Ignored.
rFFXCXAL TBLZORAX TO TUB SKPATCB.t
Jf ew Yobk, April 8. The relations be
tween the steamship companies that bring
immigrants from Mediterranean ports and
the Barge Office officials are likely to be
somewhat straiued for a few weeks. Fol
lowing the escape of the three Italian con
sumptives from the steamship Iriinativa,the
report that 21 debarred immigrants who were
returning to the steamship Burgundia had
got away, aroused the ire of Superintendent
"Weber. He sent Inspector Palmeri over to
the pier of the Fabre line, to which the Bur
gundia belongs, with instructions to go
aboard the vessel and Bee if the immigrants
were there. The Inspector reported that he
could find onlv three of the 21 who had been
put aboard tbe ship for transportation to
Italv. The officers of the Bnr?uadia told
Palmeri that tbe rest of tbe Italians were
"around somewhere" and would be aboard the
ship when she sailed. The Burgundia has her
clearance papers and will sail for the. Mediter
ranean at 4 oVlock to-morrow morning.
Colonel "Weber sent Palmeri back to the
ship with orders to stay there until she left
ber pier, and find out exactly bow many of the
Immigrants were aboard ol her at that time.
Legal proceedings will be Instituted against
the vessel when she returns to this port, and
ber owners maybe fined 1300 for each Italian
that she failed to carry back. Colonel Weber
received to-day from the agents of the steam
ship Inizlativa this letter:
"we hereby protest against your having put
on the steamship Iniziativa a number of per
sons that you have decided are to be retnrned
to Italy on the ground that under section 10 of
the last act 'such persons are to be returned on
the same ship it practicable.' As this ship
does not return to Italy it is not practicable.
We, therefore, decline any responsibility aris
ing from their having been put on board, the
same having been done in tbe first instance
without notice to us. We request you to take
and keep them in charge until such time as we
can send tbem back, which we will do at tbe
earliest moment."
In reply Colonel Weber wrote that he be
lieved that it was entirely practicable. He
said it might not be profitable to return tbe
ship to Italy, but it was certainly practicable.
If tbe view which tbe steamer company enter
tained should be correct, tbe law would nullify
itself in every such case. "It cannot be," he
wrote, "that the authorities of a foreign alms
house or prison may place the inmates thereof
on a vessel destined to this country which ves
sel was not to return to the port whence she
sailed. I therefore decline to receive them or
to keep them in charge, as tbey are actually or
have been constructively on board of your ves
sel and under your control ana charge since
tbeir embaakation for tbe foreign port."
Borne of the influential Italian citizens think
their countrymen are being discriminated
against because of their nationality.

the youngest son, only recently demanded a

him over all the funds. What the shortage or
shrinkage is, is not kuown. It is said to be
large, perhaps $100,000 or more.

PEOGEESS OP THE CDEAT1TE BILLS
ITEOM A STAFF COBBESFOXDEXT.I
Haekisbueg. AdHI 8. There was a
a lively time in the Senate this morning
over the bill to pay "W. H. Kemble the
5383,000 advanced to Governor Beaver and
expended in the relief of the sufferers from
the floods a( Johnstown and in the Susque
hanna "Valley. The bill provides that the
Auditor.General and State Treasurer shall
be authorized to examine and inquire into
the expenditures, in connection with the
vouchers thereof, and .haying asserted tbeir
correctness, settle the amount against the
Commonwealth.
Senator .Ross, the Democratic ,-Jeader,
started the ball by moving to anwhd by
adding the Attorney General to the audit
ing commission and inserting a clause di
recting them to also ascertain "the liability
of the Commonwealth" for the claims pre
sented. The Argument of the Democrats.
He argued that it was proper that the
law officer of tbe State should examine these
claims, not only as to their correctness, but
as to the State's liability therefor. The bill
appropriated a large sum of money, and it
should be made clear that the claims were
jnst ones before they were paid.
Senators Penrose, McCreary, Gobin and
Thompson opposed the amendment most
vigorously. Senator McCreary said that no
one supposed that this money had been ex-
I pended legally. There was no law under
wnicn it couia oe spent xis expenaitnre
had been made necessary by one of tbe
greatest calamities the world had ever
known, and while people were naked, and
homeless and starving, there bad been neither
time nor opportunity to make a law to suit the
case. A gentleman who had since received the
thanks ot this Legislature had given tbe money
for immediate use, it bad been expended, and
for every dollar so expended a voucher had
been filed. This money should be repaid, and
now was no time to Inquire whether the State'
was legally liable for it or not t.
A Higher Than Earthly Law.
Senator Gobin said this money had been ex
pended under a higher law than that of any
earthly tribunal, tbe law of humanity, that
sympathy which had brought from the four
corners of the globe contributions for the aid
ot the sufferers in that awful calamity. Was
this the time, when the homeless had been
housed, tbe naked clothed, the hungry fed and
tbe dead buried, to try to find out a way by
which the State could evade paying her share
in the workf
Senator Thompson declared that it was only
a plan to get the Democratic administration
into the matter. Senator Ross deprecated tbe
Introduction of politics, and said be would not
drag Into the discussion of the question tbe ac
tion of Governor Beaver in not calling the
Legislature in extra session, when tbe neces
sary appropriation could have besn properly
made. ,
Tbe amendmen: was voted down by a vote of
23 to 13, the Republicans voting against it ana
tbe Democrats tor it. The bill then passsd
second reading.
There was a great deal of feeling manifested,
the Republicans charging that It was simply a
scheme to give the administration a chance to
try to get a little glory ont ol the matter,
BAKER BALLOT BILL v
May Be Shelved and a Constitutional Con
vention Called Instead.
FEOH A STAFF COBBESPOXDKNT.
Habbisbcbg. April a As stated in Tee
Dispatch three weeks ago, there is a very
strong prospect of tbe ballot reform bill being
shelved and a constitutional convention called.
The Baker bill will pass the "House, but its
chances in the Senate are not good. The Re
publicans of tbe House could not, with any de
gree of consistency, defeat it after having de
clared on second reading that it was their own
measure, and refused to even allow the Demo
crats to amend a single word or line. Over in
the Senate no such pronounced stand has been
taken on the bill.
It is true that quite a strong opposition to the
bill is manifesting itself. It comes from the
country districts, where intimidation and fraud
ulent voting are unknown, and from tbe cities
where they are known. The country districts
don't want tbe bill because tbey don't need it
The cities don't want it because they do need
it. If it is decided to call a convention, it may
safely be said that the yroposition to do so will
be submitted to the voters this fall, and It they
decide in favor of one, tbe delegates will he
chosen at the general election in 1892.

Approval and Will Be Introduced To
Day Ten Doubtful Districts.
rnOJI A ETAFF COBRB8FOXDXKT.1
Harrisburo. April 8. Senator Meek,
of Center, will introduce a Senatorial ap
portionment bill, which has been submitted
to a nnmber of leading Democrats in both
Houses and received their approval. Alle
gheny county is given an extra Senator, and
the five districts are framed as follows:
The Forty-first district is composed of the
boroughs and townships north of the Ohio
and Allegheny rivers, including Neville
township and the Sixteenth, Seventeenth,
Eighteenth and Twentieth wards of Pitts
burg, the population being 99,277. The
Forty-second district is composed of the
city of Allegheny entire, with a population
ot lus,8T. The .Forty-third district con
sists ol the First to the Fifteenth wards ot
Pittsburg inclusive, and the Twenty-third
ward. 'The population is 107,314.
The Forty-first district will include tbe
Nineteenth, Twenty-first andTwenty-second
wards of Pittsburg, the city of McEeesport
and the boroughs and townships between the
Monongabela and Allegheny rivers. Tbe pop
ulation is 100,023, The Forty-fifth district com
prises the wards of Pittsburg and tbe boroughs
and townships south of the Monongahela and
Ohio rivers. Population, 111,683. The other
Western districts aro made up as follows:
Thirty-third, Bedford and Blair; Thirty-fourth,
Clearfield and Center; Thirty-fifth, Armstrong
and Indiana: Thirty-sixth, Somerset and Cam
bria; Thirty-seventh, Westmoreland; Thirty
eighth, Clarion, Jefferson and Elk; Thirty
ninth, Lawrence and Butler; Fortieth, Fayette
and Greene: Forty-sixth, Beaver and Washing
ton; Forty-seventh, Warren, McKean and For
est: Forty-eighth, Mercer and Venango; Forty-ninth,
Erie; Fiftieth, Crawford.
Based upon tbe last Presidental vote, and
conceding one ot tbe Philadelphia districts to
the Democrats, this bill would give 27 districts
Republican by majorities of over 2.000 each; 13
districts Democratic by majorities of over
1,000 each, and 10 districts doubtful. Tbe
doubtful ones are 2 districts in Luzerne, 2 in
Schuylkill and 1 each in Lackawanna, Bucks,
Montgomery, Northumberland, Westmoreland
and Unfon. The exact Senatorial rations is
105,000. but after deducting the surplus in the
larger counties, 83,000 popnlation is fixed as a
fair ratio for the country districts, and all of
them con tain that number except Crawford,
which is made a separate district with but
65,000 population, and Lehigh, with a few thou
sand more.
This bill is what the Democrats regard as a
just and constitutional apportionment and
while tbey do not expect it to pass, it is in
tended to indicate to tbe Republican majority
the sort of a measure they must frame it they
expect the Governor to sign it

brought a pound more: one from Kobert Burns
to tbe Earl of Glenoairn, the bidding for. which

from Charles Dickens to Howells averaged SOs

three distinct, passages. He asks that bis re
mains be buried in the St. Jerome Chapel,
Church of the Invalides, Paris, near the tomb
of tbe first Napoleon, unless the Government
refuses permission,in which case he desires that
bis body be entombed in a cave carved out of

beaten in tbe image of my stormy life." He
asks Prince Louis to read the correspondence

Prince Napoleon upbraids Prince Victor as a

of his property. He instructs that his private
papers be destroyed, and that bis political
papers be classified and be given to Prince
Louis, who receives the whole of the property,

TENANTS GIVING UP.
Their Fight Broken Down Because of the
Irish QoarreL
BT ptnTLAF'S CABLE COMPAJTT.l
Tiffkbaet, April 8. The collapse here of
the tenants' fight against their landlords is due
to the Irish quarrel over tbe leadership. Par
nell and McCarthy can't agree upon the terms
of release of tbe fund In Paris, which is in their
joint names. Tbe tenants In Tipperary and
elsewhere, being unsupported, are forced to
surrender to the landlords. Tbe tenants owe
11,000 sterling. Tho Defense Association has
called upon tbe opposing leaders to release the
money now held in Paris. Tho fact is that
both factions are glad tbat the plan ot cam
paign bas broken down. Tbe scheme was a
personal plan of Dillon and O'Brien, and many
others object to giving money to support the
tenants iu tbeir fight against the landlords.
Parnell is now willing to do whatever Dillon
and O'Brien desire, but the McCartbyites are
not so compliant; hence the sympathy of Dil
lon and O'llrlen with-Parnell. It-h believed
tbat if the latter gentleman can hold the fort
till they are liberated, and can capture them, be

y bydrfy
bat in tha
tbe indications grow stronger tbat i
great Democratic fight of next November
for the Speakership of the House of Repre
sentatives the specter of the tariff" will in
trude. It has been thought that this ghost
was laid forever, but the letterof Governor
Hill on the subject, the movements of prom
inent Democrats in various part3 of the
East, and such instances of disaffection from
the ranks of tariff reform as that of that
prominent member of tb,e State Democratic
Committee of Connecticut who confessed
that he was converted to the principle of the
protective tariff by a speech of Major Mc
Kinley, have caused the politicians who
are after the Speakership to do a deal of
thinking, and it is evident tbat some of
them at least look upon a split on the tariff
question in the next House as within the
probabilities. Of course there will be no
proposed tariff law to discuss or vote upon.
TV hero tho Issue Will Be Made.
But there will be tbe chance in the Speak
ership contest for a direct issue between lree
traders like Mills and Crisp and some one,
of the more conservative element, with the;
prospect that the management of Governor
Hill and other migbty Democratic wira
pullers will make such a candidate success
ful in the interests of tbe nomination of a
conservative candidate for the Presidency,
and tbe demolition ot the last vestiee of tbe
pretentions virtue of the "stuffed prophet of
"William street."
That there is a movement of this kind oa

ing the Speakership,and after that the nom
ination for the Presidency 13 quite apparent
from the movements of the leaders on each,
side, and from leaks from several conferences
that have Deen held here of late. JVlmost every
word dropped by tbe Democratic politicians of.
New Yorfcindicate that the band of Hill is
closing on the situation, and that anything that
is done n national politics within the next two
years without his consent will be done only
after a long and disastrous tight.
Hill to Have a Candidate.
Hill will have a candidate for Speaker, and
he will not be one of the Bourbon free traders
of the South. Where he will come from, or
what his identity will be, will depend on tha
situation when the time comes for a final de
cision. It is probable tha: he will not be found
among any of the old wheel horses of Ike party
in tbe House who are now running their own,
campaigns with more or less shrewdness.
Hill has oponly declared that he has no use)
for these fellows, and he will have the New
York delegation at bis back. The large Demo
cratic delegation from that great State will
wield a vast influence in shaping tbe Speaker
ship, as it will in the national convention soon
to follow, and It Is therefore predicted tbat in,
the months to como there will be more life In
tho Democratic party within itself than tbere
has been since tbe days when the Randall con
tingent made existence miserable for the free
