Filtsburgers Much Pleased With His
Explanation to Italy of the
Xew Orleans Affair
FOREIGXEBS MUST BE SATISFIED
With Just the Same Privileges and Pro
tection That Are Granted to
American Citizens.
AN INDEMNITY CONSIDERED TJXJDST.
Ctjtiia Gny Sees a Prcsjtct of a Changs is Our Tan
of Gcvemamt.
Secretary James G. Blaine's letter to
Premier Itudini, of Italy, explaining in an
exhaustive way the position ot the United
States Government with reference to the
2ew Orleans riot, caused a great deal of
talk about the city yesterday. The com
ments of Pittsburgers ci the subject gener
ally are in accordance with the views ex
pressed by the Secretary of State, and nearly
all agree that his explanation of the case is
the proper one.
City Attorney Moreland is heartily in
accord with Mr. Blaine's views on the New
Orleans affair. In speaking of the matter
yesterday afternoon, he said: "The Secretary
of State expresses the whole situation in a
few words when he says: 'The foreign res
ident must be content in such cases to share
the same redress that is offered by the law
to the citizen, and has no just canse of com
plaint or right to ask the interposition of
his country, if the courts are equally opes
to him for the redress of his injuries.' The
law considers tbe killing of a man not an
offense against him personally, but against
the peace and welfare of the community, so
that the whole Commonwealth is arrayed
against the offender. If I kill a man his
friends and family cannot proceed against
me tor the recovery of a money indemnity,
much less can they rxpect such indemnity
from the Government,
Jfo I'artlallty Should Be Shown.
"The Goyernment has no right to do more
for aliens than it does for its own citizens,
or more for one nationality than another.
That would be discrimination against na
tions. To grant a money indemnity to the
families of the Italians killed in New
Orleans would be an injustice to every citi
zen of the United States, because, under
similar circumstances, the citizen would not
be allowed the same privileges.
"Aide from all this the Goyernment can
not be held responsible for something it
could not prevent. Riots come like me
teors, unexpectedly and in such a way that
they cannot be prevented. The riot in New
Orleans was such. During the riot in Pitts
burg a large amount of destruction resulted.
In that case the county was required to in
demnify the losers on account of a statute.
Common law did not require it any more
than it would in case of a flood, unless it
could be proven that the authorities by
their negligence brought on the catastrophe.
"If one man robs another and the crim
inal escapes, it would be silly to ask the
national Government to indemnify the vic
tim for the loss he sustained. It is just as
reasonable to ask the Government to pay
money to the families of the dead Italians.
Foieigners in this country must be satisfied
to have the same protection a afforded our
own citizens, and for them to expect any
thing more is wrong."
Misconception on the Part of Italy.
Attorney S. U. Trent said: "The trouble
all seems to have arisen from the fact that
the Italian Government has a miscoccep
Tiun of nor public institution, and it is angered
to see how lightly the American people talk
and jet about its demands. I think Mr. Blaine
has summed up tbe situation, and Italy now
knons just exactly what she can expect."
Attornej James S. oungbas a high opinion
of Mr. lllame's diplomatic ability. "There is
something entirely original," said he, "about
-Mr. Maine's letter. It does not savor of the
stereotyped phraseology of diplomatic corre
spondence, but tells in a straight! nrward, com
mon cnse way just what the United fetates
Government can and cannot do."
Major Gourlcj Blame's argument is concln.
five. A Government that is good enough and
sale enough for onr own citizens ought to sat
isfy the foreigners who come to this countrj.
Chief lirov. n Secretary Blaine's contention
that citizens and aliens are on tbe same footing
in this country, so far as relates to the protec
tion of life and property. oulit to satisfy the
Italian Government. The Constitution of the
United stales is in erery diplomatic library in
Knrnpe. and was thoroughly understood wnen
making ireitie with tbi country.
Morris Mead, Chief of the Bureau ot Elec
tricity Blame has shown himself to ne abetter
statesman than KudmL The latter contents
himself with mallnsa demand without giving
auv reason therefor; while, on tbe other hand.
Ulame presents a strong argument for the po
sition he takes. Equal protection for alien and
c.tizen is assured in this country and in fact is
th lourdition of our Government. More than
that no one can ask.
Need of a Strong Government.
Captain Crosby Gray The controversy be
tween the United btates and Italy shows tbe
weakness of the doctnno of State's rights.
Snte lines should have been abolished years
ago. and no better time could have been found
nan at thu close of the war. If we are to take
our place among tbe nations ot the earth the
Government must be in a position to make
treat cs. which it cannot do at present to the
satisfaction of other nations. Itudini takes tbe
right ground when he intimates that if the
Constitution stands in tbe way of fulfilling tbe
provisions of treaties made with foreign
powers it should be amended. 1 believe that
this incident is simply a sign pointing to a
chanze in our method of government. Weneod
l stroi g iroveriiinent for this country, and we
must Lave it, whatever the cost. It is easy to
say that aliens have the same protection as
citizen, but onr citizens are not protected.
For a hundred years in some sections of tbe
countrj, a certain class of citizens have been
debarred from those Inalienable rights guar
anteed by the Declaration of Independence
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Un
til these wrongs are remedied we can have no
standing at tbe bar of the world's opinion.
Judge Slagle said You'll not get any opinion
out of me. It is all right for lawyers to give
opinions on such matters, but I do not think
Judges should.
M. A. Woodward said: If I were to talk on
the subject I should display abont as much
knowledge of it as some newspaper writers do
of law
Confidence In Blaine's Ability.
Major A M. Brown replied: I have not read
Mr. Maine's reply published in to-day's papers
and consequent!) cannot give any opinion. I
am confident, however, in Mr. Blaine's ability
to deal wnh tbe matter. 1 think no man in the
counlr) inure competent.
W F. McCook remarked that he thought the
whole matter a tempest in a teapot and that tbe
Governments of the United States and Italy
w ere entirely competent to manage it. Mr. Mc-
ook referred to the case of Red osed
M ke." and added that the United States
had made a demand on tbe Italian
Got eminent for the return of Mike's
Tanner in crime and that Italy had not re
sponded, lie thought tbe one might stand
ajralust tbe other.
illiam A Sipe said he had paid little atten
tion to the controversy, but thought an un
naturalized foreigner should not claim any
lucher protection from tbe United States tbau
it wis able to afford Its own citizens.
William Witberow said that his sentiments
were in accord with tboEe expressed by Secrc
tary Blaine. "Mr. Blaine's policy." said he. "is
a ttrong one and a proper one, and one such as
should be adopted by a great couutry like this.
His position that tbe United States cannot nn
ueruke to insure the lives of aliens or seek to
interfere in a case where the Federal Govern
ment lias not been concerned is quite proper.
Mr. Blaine seems to think that there is no
reason why this country should take water to
anr other, and I perfectly acree with him."
Major Howard Morton Mr. Blaine is hand
ling the matter in a proper manner, and he is
.-iCKvlit to the country, I regard his note as
being rizht to tbe point, and as showing that
no foreign nation can n-t the better of this on
a bluff.
Iilalno a Shrewd I'oliticiau.
"Blaise :sa politician, pare and simple,"'
said Charles Keisfar, Secretary of the Central
Board of Education, "and In this move has
wisely for himself patted Uncle Sam on the
back and turned up bis nose at Italy.
Uncle Sam, through the people, has the favors
to bestow. Blaine has looked out for No. 1,
and will reap tbe benefits In increased popu
larity all over the country. What Italy may
do remains to be seen."
E. D. Smith, division -passenger agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio Kail road, said: "Blaine is
bv all odds the brainiest man in the United
States, and bis decision in this Italian matter
meets my approval, as it will the majority of
the pnblic."
TALK THAT WILL TELL.
Orators of National Reputation to Speak at
the Amerlcni Club Banquet Speeches
That Will Have Great Political Signifi
cance Outlining the Campaign of '02.
Orators of national reputation will speak
at the Amcricus Club banquet in this city
on the 27th inst., and the orations they are
to deliver are expected to become famous, if,
indeed, thev are not added to the list of
American classics. The arrangements
wero completed at a meeting of tbe Banquet
Committee last evening, when the assignments
ot subjects wero made as a result of a corre
spondence with the gentlemen who are to
speak.
Ex-Adjutant General D. H. Hastlugs will
survey the guests wbo will cluster around the
banquet tables at tbe Monongahela House, and
will announce the toasts and the speakers who
are to respond.
Congressman D&licll. who has won fame in
the local courts and in tbe halls of Congress as
an orator, has promised to make tbe effort of
his life in responding to "The Fifty-first Con
cress." His speech will cover the work done
by that body, its purpose and results, and will
outline the future policy of the Republican
parly.
Senator Cnllom, of Illinois, will respond to
the toast of "Grant," the conqueror and Presi
dent. Representative McComas, of Maryland, will
speak en tho "Campaign of 1892," and his re
marks will be authoritative and virtually tbe
first gun of a political battle which is expected
to bo tbe fiercest fought in the history of tbe
American nation.
Somewhat in tbe same line will be the speech
of President J. H. Thurston, of the National
League of Republican Clubs, who will talk on
tbe'rLeague Club Campaign of lS9i" In this Mr.
Thurston will be the mouthpiece of a majority
ot tbe workers of tbe Republican party, and for
that reason his words will have great weight.
Chauncey M. Depew is to be present, but no
subject has been selected for him. Tbe Ban
quet Committee realized that Mr. Depew could
speak deltgbtf nllv on any subject, or even with
out a subject, and therefore left tbe gentleman
to fall back on one of his nnmerous happy
thoughts.
WHY WARNERHAS QUIT.
He Accepts a Salary of 315,000 a Tear From
the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company Ad
dison Ljsle Hacks Major McClaughrey
for the Place.
Superintendent Henry "Warner, of the
Workhouse, has tendered his resignation,
although he was only re-elected a short time
ago. He is to take a position at $15,000 a
year in the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company.
His resignation has been accepted in order that
he may take his new place. The salary of the
superintendent is Jo. 00U a year, and tho increase
to 515,000 is tna only cause for Mr. Warner's
change.
Tbe resignation has, of course, occasioned
considerable gossip as to who will be Mr. War
ner's successor. .Late last night Addison Lvsle,
a member of the Board of Workhouse Man
agers, was interviewed at his home on Char
tiers street. He had just returned from a visit
to Superintendent Warner, at Claremont, and
confirmed tho story of Mr. Warner's resigna
tion. Said he:
"I do not know who will be appointed in Mr.
Warner's place. Tbe only person 1 have beard
mentioned is Major Robert W.McClangbrey.of
Huntingdon. He has just resigned from the
general scperintendency of tbe Hnntinsrdon
Industrial Reformatory, and is amost excellent
officer. I do not know that he is an applicant tor
tbe place bnt 1 do know that a better man could
not be fonnd anywhere for the place. He had a
good record at the Joliet Penitentiary before
be went to Huntingdon. A shadow nas been
cast on bis renntation by stories of trouble
with the Board of Managers but it is false.
His character is beyond reproach. Tbe only
thing that could be said against him is that be
is not a resident of Allegheny county, but that
should not have any effect. What is needed is
a man with experienccanaMajorMcClangbrey
is tbe man for the place."
Anattempt was made to see the other mem
bers of tne board, but they could not be found.
A telegram from Huntingdon last night, how
ever, stated that the Board of Reformatory
Managers bad unanimously passed a resolution
indorsing the administration of the officers of
the institution and expressing sorrow at Major
McClaughrey's resignation.

FOR THE MORGANZA.
Superintendent Quay Denies Thai In
mates Are liadly Treated,
MANAGERS ALL AGREE WITH HIM.
They Unite in Baying There Is a Happy
Family at tbe School.
HOW AND Will POMSMIENTS ARE MADE
"I think that a spanking, with the paddle
such as is used here, would be the proper
thing to be administered to Mr. Wagenhurt,
tbe agent of the State Commission who
visited this place and made such a lurid re
port to the Commission as to the bad things
done here."
So said J. A. Quay, the Superintendent of
the Pennsylvania Beform School at Mor
gana, yesterday. Mr. Quay was not dis
posed to talk. He considered that the mem
bers of the Board of Managers were the
proper persons to tell about the workings of
the school. So f.ir as be himself was con
cerned, he did not think it proper to give
out information that was equally as well
known to the superior officers. Mr. Quay,
after a little persuasion, consented to tell
about Mr. Wagenhurt's visit to the institu
tion, and finally about the charges that bad
been made.
"Mr. Wagenhurt came here," said Mr.
Quay, "and spent nearly a day. He was
given every opportunity to see, and to learn.
There was no difficulty thrown in his way.
He had the run of all the buildings. Later
on, quite a time after the Commission had
begun its work, Messrs. Dearden and Walk,
members ot the Commission, came here and
had a look through the place. Then the
next visit that we got was from Messrs.
Lemon, Lyttle and Lisch, members of the
Appropriations Committee. That has beeu
the extent of our official visitors, with the
exception of members of the Board of Man
agers. Thorough Investigation Courted.
"I would like to state here that just so
soon as I heard that these charges would be
preferred against tbe Reform Softool, I notified
Messrs. Charles W. Houston, ex-Sheriff Gray
and W. B. Lupton, wbo were on the Visiting
Committee. They came down here and
made a thorough examination ot tbe
inmates. They know bow many of tbem
have marks upon tbeir persons, even to the
vaccination marks. In each case they were
given my certificate as to the condition of the
inmate and as to why he was whipped.
"Do we whip the boys 7 Ot course we do.
lhere would be no discipline here did wo not
nave corporal punisnment. sometimes tney
have to be whipped hard. We don't whip tbem
now with a strap, but with a paddle, the reason
of tbe cbangs being that a boy might throw up
bis arm aud get a blow that would hurt him
more than the one Intended for his back. The
rules of the school provide that every Inmate
who willfully violates a "known rule shall be
punished, either by tbo officer In charge
when the offense is committed, or by the
Superintendent or under his direction.
"Here comes the point," said Superintend
ent Quay, "where Mr. Wagenhurt makes his
claim that boys have been cruelly whipped.
He says tbe punishment has first been inflicted
and then a report made to tbe Superintendent,
lhat is wholly untrue except in some instances
which are provided for In thl rule: Corpnral
punishment shall not be inflicted by any officer
without first consulting tbe Superintendent
and obtaining his perraissian, unless in cases
where delay might be dangerous to the person
or completely subversive of discipline.'
Discipline Must Be Maintained.
'Again, what sort of a corrective institution
would this be where the officer in charge, after
the ordinary reproof in cases of marked in
subordination had been administered,-if an
attempt was not made to maintain discipline
at all bazards? In such cases punishment must
be prompt and of such a character as to con
vince the offenders beyond a doubt that they
must obey tbe rules of the school. We have
not tbe element here of which angels are made.
When tbe first nffeusa is committed, it not ag
gravated, we ask a personal pledge; in the sec
ond case we put so many demerits to tbe in
mate's credit. Then, if he persists in his con
duct, we put him In tbe cellar on bread and
water. The fourth and last punishment is that
known as 'strapping,' but really "paddling.' A
boy is only whipped when it is found that no
other puoisbment will do bim any good.
Punishment," exclaimed Mr. Quay, "why.
there have been only tbree boys whipped since
the first of the present year. They sadly
needed it. This talk about the boys being half
starved! How absurd that ill" Then Mr.
Quay called a handsome little lellow, tbe office
messenger, and asLed him whether he got
enough to eat. The dimples in his chubby
cheeks answered before tho boy could form the
reply. Tbe Superintendent then went over the
bill ot fare for tbe benefit of tbe reporter, tbe
season of the year making tbe difference in the
quantity of vegetables served.
A Week's Bill of Faro.
Sundays tbo bill of fare ordinarily is for
breakfast, bread, molasses and coffee; dinner,
soup. Here tbe Superintendent stopped and
gave the composition uf the soup. In the Sun
day soup tbere were 125 pounds of fresh meat,
five bushels of potatoes, one bushel of onions,
rive gallons tomatoes and 21 pounds of macca.
roni. This Mr. Quay thought was good soup.
Then ot course there w ere soup, meat and bread.
For supper on Sunday there were bread and
tea, ginger bread and cmuamon cake.
Monday Breakfast: Bread and butter, coffee
and molasses. Dinner: Bean soup, breakfast
bacon and bread. Supper: Bread, tea, niolas
les and oat meal.
Tuesday Breakfast: Potato stew, bread,
molasses and coffee. Dinner: Vegetable soup,
bread and meat. Supper: Bread, tea, molasses
and stewed prunes.
Wednesday Breakfast: Bread, coffee, mo
lasses and sausage. Dinner: Corned beef and
corned beef soup. Supper: Bread, tea and mo
lasses. Thursday Breakfast: Bread, butter, molas
ses and coffee. Dinner: Bean soup, beef and
bread. Supper: Bread, molasses, tea or milk.
Friday Breakfast: Bread, molasses, cheese
and coffee. Dinner: Pork, cabbage and bread.
Supper: Bread, molasses, prunes, and tea or
milk.
Saturday Breakfast: Oat meal, bread, mo
lasses, milk or coffee. Dinner: beef soup,
bread and meat. Supper: Bread, molasses,
milk or coffee.
All Are a Happy Family.
"In tbe last two years." said Mr. Quay. "I
have never bad a complaint about tbe food
served here. If it is bad the inmates should
show it" " Mr. Quay pointed to a dozen or so
boys working in the vegetable garden, and
asked it they looked as though they had been
underfed. "Look at tbem closely," said be,
"and you win rind that they are stout, well
built boys. They are not stooped-shouldered,
nor are the girU in the brush factory. Alwajs
remember that tbe most tender point, the
point upon which people committed to institu
tions of this character first object, is that ot
food. Tbe second is that ot treatment.
"You may send a person to a school of this
kind, and if he be o disposed be may see many
things that would not appear right to bim. It
requires men of judgment and discrimination,
and while I have nothing against the Beyburn
Commission, for tbeir work was a most im
portant one, still I don't tbink that the agent
they sent here is a man in whom you could
place implicit confidence. There are people
for whom we form likes and dislikes upon first
sight. His stories are not borne out by the
facts, and my hope is that the Legislature will
appoint a committee to come hero and investi
gate the school."
Speaking uf the parole system, Mr. Quay said
that it was tbe desire ot the managers to send
the youncer inmates of tbe school back to tbeir
homes. When this cannot be done, then they
are sent to people who will take them upon tbe
promise of doinc the best they can Tor tbem
and reporiine tbe conductor the paroled person
to the Snperintendent. "Unfurtunately," said
Mr. Quay, "we are coiffpelled to send most of
tbe cuiluren wbo have been here back to their
homes, where they meet the same baleful in
fluences from which tbey were supposed to
have been taken." His preference was for out
sldo homes, and a man wnu could give all his
time to lookinc after them. But he thought a
man wbo could fill that bill worth more money
than could be paid htm by the State.
Mr. Quay took np tbe report from the female
department, which was banded to him yester
day morning, when the Question was asked
about the girls not being taught useful trades.
"Look at this," said be, "and tell me whether
they are not doing useful work; helping the
housekeeper, 7; cooking, 9; laundry, 4S; brush
works, 40; sawing, 2L It is nunsense about the
girls in any department being overworked."
What the Managers Say.
The Board of Managers of tbe Morganza
Reform School are of the opinion that In
spector Wagcnhnrt is a lineal descendant of
some of the biblical characters whose names
appear in the same category with that pnblic
spirited citizen Ananias. Tbey simply laugh
at tbe report as ridiculous, and court an open
Investigation of the Morranza Reform School.
(The directors had known such a repert was to
be made, and on Monday night made an ex
amination of the Inmates alleged to
have been brutally treated, as well
as about 10 others. No marks of
recent brutality could be found, although some
were scarred by blows inflicted long before
they entered the institution. The board has
thorough confidence in Superintendent Qnay,
and say tbey do not propose to take any notice
of the matter, but are willing to have a legis
lative Investigation. They cannot understand
why Mr. Reyburn and bis colleagues did not
make a personal investigation instead of send
ing Wagenhurt. When Thomas Wightman
was seen yesterday at his office, he said:
"If there Is -any cruelty practiced at Mor
ganza I do not know of It, and I think I would
know it if there was. Of course, tbe treatment
of some of the guards may be rough at times,
but that cannot bo avoided. We try to get the
best men we can for the money the State allows
us. A good guard is soon fonnd out, and hn is
wanted in other place. If he is offered more
money than we can afford to pay, we have to let
him go.
Takes Some Time to Find Out.
"Whenever a man is put in, the boys try to
down bim, and. of course. It takes us some time
to find out a man. Last winter we dis
charged one of our oldest teachers
because be was in the habit of whip
ping the boys unnecessarily. There has been
no abuse. Wo beard this was coming, and on
Monday we examined tbe boys and found
them all right, although tbere were scars nn
tbem, but they were not caused by wounds
received in tbo institution. As for tbe food,
tbey are well fed. Iceman said tbey got tea
in tbe morning. Tbat is not so. We always
serve coffee In the morning. Tbe boys are
better fed than tbey ever were before. As for
whipping without a permit, it bas to be done
sometimes. Last year several of the bovs at
tacked a guard with a pick and would have
killed him if he bad not protected himself.
Do you think there was any time then to go
for a permit? Tbe boys are all rizht, and you
cannot flud a healthier lot of people in the
whole country."
Children Well Cared For.
Dr. Allison made practically tbe same state
ment. He said tbe children were well cared for;
that their perfect health was the best commen
tary on the good treatment they received. Said
be: "We have a good set of keepers. Of
course we cannot have a set of rules for each
particular inmate. The boys wbo go to such an
institution have to be whipped, but those
whippings are not frequent. A broad paddlo
made of leather is used aud not a strap. I
would just as soon eat witb the boys as with
the superintendent. The food is of the very
best.
Speaking of Mr. Quay talking In mono.
syllables, he is not a talkative man. He Is very
lenient, he never threatens the boys and he
never forcets that he was oncea boy himself.
It is also said the. boys go without shoes during
the summer. Why, I can remember when I
fought because I bad to wear mine. As for tbe
girl who told a story of cruelty she is the one
who set Are to the building and was sent to
tbe penitentiary for her offense."
Charles Houston, who is also a member of
tne ooard, said be was present at tne examina
tion Monday night and found that everything
was in good shape. Tbere were no mark of
violence on the boys.
W. B. Lupton, another member of the board,
does not bellevo there is any foundation for
tbe report, but tbink tbe bors have been tell
ing Wagenburt stories for tbe fun of stuffing
bim. He said they had a room where tbey
confined the boys when they become un
manageable, but they are released as soon as
tbey promise to obey tbe rules.
The Charges Were Forestalled.
The Dispatch correspondent at Harrlsburg
sawa number of Allegheny county Representa
tives at Harrlsburg yesterday in regard to the
charges made by Agent Wagenhurt. Senator
Neeb, amonc others, said that the charges
wero so evidently overdrawn that be could not
think anyone could seriously regard them. In
refutation of tbe charges, Isador Coblenz,
Secretary of the Board of Managers, has made
fublic a report of the Snperintendent to the
ustructlve and Discipline Committee of tbe
Board of Managers, filed April 13, accompanied
by a report made by tbat committee to the f nil
board, signed by Charles W. Houston, J. H.
Gray, W. B. Lupton and Charles McKennan.
This report states that Snperintendent Quay
stripped all the boys in tbe school, and found
12 marks of punishment. Tbe coromittee
found at least tbree-fourths of tba cases were
so slightly marked tbat under ordinary cir
cumstances tbey would not be noticed. Of tbe
12 before tbe committee, 26 were marked on
the arms, 6 on tbe body aud 7 on tbe legs. Ten
boys said tbey had received their marks within
six months, and the balance bad been pun
ished previous to tbat time, some as far back
as five years. "Your committee are of tbo
opinion tbat there has been no cruelty in the
punishment inflicted upon tbe boys."

AN IMPORTANT MEETING T0-HIGH1
Manufacturers Combine to Oppose the Cor
porate Tax Bill.
MISCELLANEOUS IXD0STKIAL ITEMS
The Master Buildersheld tbeir regular
meeting last night. The importance of the
session was increased somewhat by the fact
that it was tbe last regular meeting . to be
held before May 1, when the eight-hour de
mands of the carpenters will be made.
Most of the members had received their
copies of the new working rules, and. of
coarse, they were brought up for discus
sion. The body had no official communica
tion fromhe carpenters as an organization,
but each momber had received the rules indi
vidually. Tbe principle features of these rules
were included in the first, second and fourth
sections of the document.
Tbe first provides that eight hours shall con
stitute a day's work, and all over time shall be
considered time and half time. Holidays shall
be considered double time. The compensation
shall be 85 cents an hour, and no member shall
be allowed to work tor lets.
The fourth section was inserted for tho
benefit of the contractors. It provides that nn
member shall work for other than bona ride
contractors for less than SO cents a day in ad
vance ot the minimum rate of wages.
Ihe apprentice rales contain a number of
important features. Among them Is one pro
vision that a boy under 21 years of age, should
be compelled to work at tbe trade for four
years and he shall not be considered a Journey
man builder until he shall have complied with
tbe provisions of tbe section.
Tbe Master Builders were in session until af
ter 11 o'clock and it was given that they had
renewed their position relative to the cranting
of the eight hours. They will simply not grant
tbem and tbe worst is expected by tbe men on

this year. One of these members told a Dis
patch reporter last night that they desired it
to be understood they would like the masters to
help them on May L
W. H- Irwin said vesterdav he thoueht the
difficulty would be of shert duration that the
dissensions are gradually being overcome. He
said be knew tbere was opposition tbat has
brought about considerable strife, but he
thought he could pull them through all right,
and that the demands will be made witb a
solid membership ot 5,000 union carpenters In
tbe county.

Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, Phillips, Nlm
Ick Co. and Ritcr 4 Conly.
These firms have engaged Hod. Louis W.
Hall to appear before tbe Senate Finance Com
mlttee next Tuesday in tbeir interest. On ac
count of his effective address before tbe Gen
eral Judiciary Committee on the employers'
liability bill, Mr, Hall was considered to be the
best mar; they could seenre. Tbe efforts to de
feat the measure are spreading to all sec
tions of the State, and every argument
available is to be brought against it. Tbere
are otber local concerns that are directly Inter
ested in tbe defeat of tbe bill and have repre
sentatives working in tbeir behalf. Among
these are Joseph Walton A Co., Carnegie Bros.
& Co., Alexander Dempster, John A. Wood

of Cleveland, said, but Mr. Smith, when asked
for information, denied having been present.
The nut men, of whom there were about 12 at

'tlon as receiver of the Columbia Iron and

with matters ot great value to the miners.
Will Close tn Six Weeks.
It is now definitely settled tbat the Western
Flint Bottle Association will close down Its
factories June 1 Instead of July L One reason
given is that last June was an exceedingly
warm month and lost much time. Hence
the shut-down in six weeks.

ON THE CHAIN GANG.
Mayor Gourley Knows a Good Place for
Loafers and Mashers, Regardless of
Wealth or Position The Police at
Work Several Arrests Made.
"Every street-corner loafer and masher
ought to be put to work on tbe chain gang,"
declared Mayor Oonrley with great earnest
ness yesterday. .
"Even if they shonld happen to be Conn
oilmen?" "Yes; even if they are Cooncilmen or
millionaires. Ko distinction shonld be
made between rich or poor; tbe man with a
Eolitical pull or tbe man wbo hasn't got a vote
ecause he forgot or was unable to pay his
county tax.'
The police are watching two gangs of well
dressed corner loafers, or rather two sectious
ot one gang. They hang around one corner of
Diamond and Smlthfield streets and a corner
of Diamond and Market streets. These crowds
are composed of men wbo talk horse and cards,
and modestly confess to being gamblers as an
explanation of their ability to live without
work. Their only visible means of support,
which raises them above the charge of va
grancy, is generally a woman, possibly a
mother or a sister. They are familiar with one
or two of tbe police officials, and when tbey get
into trouble their offenses are lightly condoned.
Ton corner ot Eleventh and Liberty streets
contributed tbree loafers tn tho Central station
yesterday. They were Vincent llcKenna.
Pollitt McCoard and John McQuire. The
police do tbeir best to keep this corner clear,
but it seems to possess an irresistible attrac
tion for tbe idle or intoxicated.
Judge Succop stated last evening that fre
quent complaints bad been made to him by
ladies of tbe manner in which they were
treated by would-be mashers and corner loaf
ers. Some would tip their hats and wink, and
others cough and trv to attract tbe attention of
passersby. One lady in particular complained
of a man wbo usually bung out In front ot a
poolroom. The police were notified of bis ac
tions, and be was warned to desist or suffer for
it, and in consequence has been keeping sbady
ever since. Tbe Judge stated further that the
following corners had been brought to his no
tice, and that tbe police wonld look after them
more closely in the future: Pittsburg and Lake
Erie depor. Fourth. Fifth, Sixth. Tentb,
Twelfth, Fifteenth. Seventeenth. Twenty-first.
Twejty-flfth and Twenty-seventh and Carson
streets, and loafing attboso places nUI not be
tolerated in the future.
"Yesterday morning," he said. "Isent Augus
tus Schmltc and Alexander Brown to
the workhouse for 30 days each for loafing at
Twelfth and Carson streets, and 1 propose to
treat all such cases that come before me in a
like manner. This mashing and insulting of
ladies on the pnblic streets must stop, and I
will do all 1 can to help the good work.''
will ray lymph a teas.
A Thorough Test of Koch's Treatment at
the West Penn.
Officials at tbe West Penn Hospital have de
cided to give Koch's lymph a very tborongb
test. One of the physicians proposes to use the
treatment on cases in tbe hospital for a year,
watching carefully tbe results on different'
persons. At the end ot that time he will
publish a report on his investigations.
Up to this time six patients have been treated
with the lymph, bnt they were all in such ad
vanced stages of consumption tbat it bad no
effect. Two of them died, two left the hos
pital, and the others are still there. This, bow
ever, is not considered damaging evidence
against tbe lymph, as Dr. Koch does not make
the claim tbat it will enre cases of lone stand
ing. Tbe fnll amount of lymph has been given
in each Injection in the above cases.
It is the intention to trv the lymph on some
cases in tbe early stages of consumption. Tbese
are not plenty,as people in that condition re
fuse to believe they bave consumption and ob
ject to tbe treatment.
ONLY E0UB ACCIDENTS,
One of Them, However, May Cost the Life
of Hugh Aiken.
Tbe accidents of yesterday were few in num
ber and with but one exception they are not
likely to prove fatal. This Is the list:
AIKEN Hugh Aiken, a plasterer, fell from a
window in Snowden alley and received in
juries that may cause bis death. He is hurt
internally.
Welsh John Welsh, aeed 45 vcars, had his
right leg hurt by a fall at Howe, Brown fc Co.'s
mill.
FlNifiaAK Patrick Finnlgan, a laborer at
tbe Edgar Thomson Steel Work, lost bis bal
ance while working on a scaffold and suffered
a compound fracture of tbe right leg.
Bodinick Mathew Bodinlck, 13 years old,
ignited a cin of giant powder at Fifty-fourth
and Harrison streets, with the result of badly
burned face and one eye lost.
WABSEN HAGUE GIVES WASHING.
Nothing but Trout Can Be Legally Taken
Before June.
Tbe impression having gotten abroad that
tbe season for fishing bad opened. Fish
Warden Hague yesterday desired to corrrct
tbe idea. He says that is taken from tbe old
law, but by tbe one passed in May. 1889, trout
only can be taken from April 15 to July 15, and
all ether fish from May 30 to January 1.
This includes suckers and catfish as well as
bass, pike, pickerel, eels, salmon, etc It is a
violation ot tbe law to take any fish except
trout before tbe 30th of May.

WILLIAM SMITH CLAIMS TITLE
On About a Million Dollars' Worth of
Twelfth Ward Keal Estate.
PAPEBS TO BE SERVED IMMEDIATELY
William Smith, who is well known in
local business circles, his commenced eject
ment proceedings against tbe occupants of
over five squares of ground and improve
ments in the Twelfth ward. This property
was formerly known as the National Foun
dry and Pipe Works. Among the allejed
"squatters" are MY. Beese, Monroe & Co.,
William Fisher, Harbison, Walker & Co.,
and Walker, Dunlevy & Co. Considerable
ground and a large residence on Winebid
dle avecue are also involved. This prop
erty is occupied by Mr. Godfrey, of God
frey fc Clark. William Smith A Sons became
financially irrvolved in 1874. and made an as
signment. Tbe foundry was owned by tbe firm,
but the real estate belonged to William Smith
individually, and be claims that tbe title to it
is still vested in him. It is valued at about
Sl.000,000. By beginning suit now Mr. Smith
keeps within the limits ot tbe 21-year clause of
tbe law governing the alienation of titles.
Mr. Dunlevy. of Dnnlevy & Sons, formerly
Walker, Dunlevy A Co., stated yesterday that
the title to their property bad been passed upon
by some of the best lawyers in the city and he
bad no doubt tbat it was perfect. He said be
hadn't beard ot any suit having been entered.
Edwin C. Godfrey, of Godfrey 4 Clark, said
bis father was not about,buthe himself thought
the suit, if there were one, ridiculous. He
supposed the people wbo negotiated tbe prop
erty and examined its trie knew what they
were about.and further opined that after a man
had gone tbrougb the bankrupt mill his claim
would not likely be much. Mr. Godfrey re
ferred the inquirer to bis laVyer, T. D. Cbant
ler. Mr. Chaniler said he cad not heard of
such suit and didn'tlthlnk tbere was anything
In it, as he thought A unlikely tbat Mr. Smith,
if be thought he, Bad any ground to stand
upon, wonld wait nearly 20 years before taking
action. Mr. Chantler suecested that it might
be instructive to loos at the deeds made by the
assignee in the Smith & Son's bankruptcy case,
and see what they did convey, and also ascer
tain'just what he did assign. The public of
fices, however, were all closed at this time, so
that search could not be made In this direction.

Republican Candidates for Positions to Be
Created or Vacated.
Several legal gentlemen bave shied tbeir
castors Into tbe political arena and declared
themselves candidates tor .Copnty Judgeships.
The House ot Representatives has already
passed a bill creating a third Court of Common
Pleas for Allegheny county. While Governor
Pattison will have tbe appointment of these
judges, tbeir terms will probably expire in
November, when the judges will be elected.
'In addition to this Juge White's term in
Common Pleas Ho. 2 will expire next year, and
Jt is not altogether certain, although extremely
probable, that he will be a candidate for re
election. Marshall Brown, son ef Major A. M. Brown,
and a well-known memoer of tbe Allegheny
county bar, is mentioned as a candidate, as
are also ex-Jadge Fetterman and ex-District
Attorney Porter. Tbe latter gentleman is
known as a hustler, aud bas a large political
acquaintance, due In part to his canvass for
tbe District Attorneyship, and also to his posi
tion as Chairman of the Allegheny County Re
publican Committee.
Mr. Brown Is beating no drums, but is doing
some quiet and effective work. His ancient
preceptor. Mayor Gourley, is a warm adberenr,
and there are many others wbo are already
puckering up their -mouths in anticipation of
addressing bim as "Your Honor."
So far tbe Democrats have pushed no one to
the front prominently as a candidate.
" HOT SO CELEBBATED.
An Unwarranted Statement Regarding a
Guest at the Duquesne Set Right.
Mr. G. Muellierro, of Hew York City, is a
guest at tbe Duquesne Hotel. He is here in
the interests of a New York company.and pur
poses remaining a day or two visiting friends.
Mr. Muellierro was indignant last night at an
unwarranted statement regarding him which
appeared in an afternoon paper. It referred to
him as tbe "son of Muellerio, the revolutionary
chief, wbo held the approaches to the city dur
ing tbe execution of Emperor Maximilian."
So far from enjoying such doubtful celebrity,
Mr, Muellierro is the son of Admiral Don Car
los Muellierro, who commanded the Huascar
in tbe celebrated engagement between tbe
fleets of Chile and Peru, in which so many
lives and ships were lost. Admiral Muellierro
went down witb his ship. Mr. Muellierro does
not court tbe notoriety sought to be attached
to him.
