WANAMAKEE WANTS MONET
In Order to Kan His Department as It Onglit
to Ee Conducted.
"Washington, May 11. Postmaster Gen
eral "Wanamaker has sent to Speaker Crisp
a long letter containing some observations
upon the Postofiice appropriation bill. The
Postmaster General says that the bill for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1893, will seri
ously impair the postal service and result in
general dissatisfaction throughout the coun
try. He says:
I deem it my duty to emphasize to you
tlint the crippling of the operations of tho
department by holding back the necessary
appropriations will not only impair its effi
ciency, ljut prevent tho earnings foieshad
on ed in my report.
The Postmaster General calls attention to
the various reductions in the bill, and shows
how disastrous they will be to the service,
and, concluding, says:
I cannot but believe that you will share
with me the concern that I feel as the head
of this department that the Postmaster
General may not be In a position in 1893 to
properly meet the exigencies when the post
al service will not only be under the severer
tests of the traveling public attending the
'. orld's Fair, but will be the subject of com
parison -with that of other countries by ex
hibitors and visitors who are invited guests
irotn every nation of the Old World.
NOT AT ALL STJEFBISED.
Treasnry Officials Anticipated England's
Action on the Silver Conference
"Washington, May 11. It was stated at
the Treasury Department this afternoon
that no official response has yet been re
ceived from any of the. foreign governments
invited to join this Government in a con
ference on the silver question. The London
press dispatch containing Chancellor
Goschcn's statement that England will send
delegates to the conference created no sur
prise at the department whatever, for the
reason that positive assurances to that effect
had been previously given by the proper
representatives ot Her Majesty.
It is said that similar assurances have
also been received from other governments,
and that the President had delayed the is
suance of the formal invitations lor a mone
tary conference until after he had received
fatisfactory assurances that the principal
European countries would be represented.
The invitations were mailed two weeks ago,
and the responses from the respective
countries may be looked for in a short
time.
CHANGE OF LAW DEMANDED
By Tobacco Manufacturers Who Only Partly
Tlnish Their Productions.
"Washington, May XL The Sub-Treasury
bills, which have been before the Com
mittee on "Ways and Means for some time,
were taken up to-day, and Mr. Shively, of
Indiana, was authorized to move their refer
ence to the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. The committee authorized Mr.
McMiUin, of Tennessee, to report lavorably
a bijl introduced by Representative "Wise,
of " lrginia, to amend the internal revenue
laws so as to permit partially manufactured
tobacco or snuff to be sold bv one manu
facturer to another and shipped in bulk
from the factory of the seller to the factory
of the purchaser without first paying the
tax thereon.
There is a demand for legislation of this
sort from some persons in the tobacco trade,
a practice having grown up in the industrv
of partially making the manufactured ar
ticle in one lactory and having it finished in
another.
Orders to Sail for Bering Bea.
"Washington, May XL The Secretary
of the Navy to-day ordered the Yorktown,
Mohican, Adams and Rush to sail from
Port Townsend at once for Bering Sea.
J Selecting Serine Sea Arbitrators.
I "Washington, May 11 The President
has under consideration the selection of
the two arbitrators to represent the United
States in the settlement of the Bering Sea
question, and it is said the appointments
will be announced next week. The indica
tions' are that one of the arbitrator! will bo
taken from the United States Supreme
bench, with the chances strongly in Javor
ot the selection of Mr. Justice Harlan. It
is said the President has already request
him to act in behalf ot the United Stat..
and that he has practically consensed to
serve.
HEED'S SAECASH AIPABENT
In Every tine of tlin Minority Report on
Free Sllvrr Inrt Ore.
"Washington, May 1L Mr. Reed, of
Maine, to-day presented the report of the
minority of the "Ways and Means Committee
opposing the passage of the bill to admit
silver lead ore free of duty. The minority
say the majority advise the abolition of the
duties first, because the American miner
needs this ore to smelt his own with; second,
hpeaii5( it would be so erateful to Mexico.
The first reason is business; the second is
philanthropic, and both, the minority say,
happen to be false. The American miner
does not need the ore lor a flux; and if he
does, does not get it under the present
system, nor under the free raw material
system which prevailed before the last tariff
act.
The American miner, it is asserted, is not
back of the bill, but the American lree
trader, yearning not for free raw material,
but for the rawest kind ofMexican 50-cents-a-day
labor.
AIT IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION
Wanted by air. Wanamaker Into
the
rnenmatlc Tnbe Cliarges.
"Washington, May 11. Representative
Henderson, of North Carolina, Chairman of
the Committee on Postoffices and Postroads,
is in receipt of the following letter from
Postmaster General "Wanamaker:

TTylle Avenne to Be Block Stone
From
Fifth Avenne to Herron Hill.
"Wylie arenue will soon be ono of the
best paved streets in the city, instead of the
worst, as it has been for many years. Two
years ago the improvement was commenced
by replacing the cobbles with block stone and
since then from Fulton street to Fifth ave
nue has been repaved. Last year Councils
voted 510,000 for continuing the new pave
ment eastwardly, and this year $15,000
more was appropriated. The work
was not commenced last year, but a good
start has already beeen made this spring by
Booth & Flinn, and from Fulton to Devil
liers streets one side of the street has been
repaved. It is expected that the money
appropriated will repave the street to the
end, at Herron avenue.
Forbes street, from Brady street to the
top of Soho Hill, is also being repaved with
block stone. The asphalt pavement being
taken up on this street was put down 13
years ago, and was the best asphalt pave
ment ever put down here. The policy of
the Public Works Department is to put
down block pavements on all steep grades,
the asphalt being too slippery in winter
weather.

NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS
London, May 11 A report issued by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children has caused a sensation by the
statements it contains relative to the cruel
and ofttime inhuman punishments. That
some parents wofully neglect and
abuse their children was considered,
but hardly anyone believed that such
fiendish cruelty as it set forth in the report
of the society could be systematically pur
sued in England. The report makes special
reference to Mrs. Montagu, and declares
that hers is not an isolated case of cruelties
in families of high social standing.
The society has interfered with clergy
men, officers, barristers and other members
of the gentry, who it had learned were treat
ing their off-spring inhumanly. Among the
punishments people of this class
inflicted upon the helpless little ones are
mentioned placing them in stocks and
putting lighted matches up their nostrils;
burning wounds upon them with matches:
breaking the limbs of 2-year-old babies in
three places; tying a rope around a 6-year-old
boy and dipping him into a canal re
peatedly until he was exhausted; keeping a
child in a. cellar until its flesh turned
green; tying cords around the thumbs of a
child, then tying it to a bedstead and beat
ing it with a thorn bush, and leaving a baby
in a cradle for weeks until toad stools grew
out or tne rottenness around tne mtant.
Like Mrs. Montagu, some of the culprits
pleaded their high sense of moral discipline
and their regard for the victim's souL One
individual whom the society interfered with
urged that he could not do his duty as set
forth in the Bible without mutilating the
face of his child.
The Duke of Fife was present at the
meeting when the report was presented, and
made a strong comment on the shameful
disclosures. The most subtle cases
of cruelty, he said, seemed to be perpe
trated by persons of apparent respectability.
Mr- Fowler, a member, a of the
House of Commons, suggested that legis
lation is needed to protect children. The
most revolting recent instances of cruelty,
he said, had occurred in families of afflu
ence, and the creation of public opinion was
wanted to fight the evil.
THE SILVEE C0NFEBENCE A 00.
Salisbury Accepts the Invitation In Re
sponse to Iteqnests of Business Men.
London, May 11. The British Govern
ment has accepted the invitation from
"Washington to be represented in an inter
national silver conference. Lord Salisbury
and Mr. Balfour were present when Mr.
Goscben received the London deputations,
which included representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce, bankers and manu
facturers and members of trades unions.
Sir "William Henry Houldsworth, M. P.,
a large cotton spinner in Manchester, was a
member of the deputation. He stated that
all the chambers of commerce in Great
Britain concurred in urging the Govern
ment to accept the invitation of the United
States to take part in the conference,
which, he hoped, would settle the question
once for all. The situation is becoming
worse and worse, and unless it is remedied
and the developments in India arrested,
disaster is inevitable. A number of the
delegates spoke in a similar manner. Lord
Salisbury then asked Mr. Goschen to reply,
informing them that it is the Government's
intention to" accept the invitation.
The morning papers of this city more or
less sharply criticise the acceptance of the
invitation to a silver conference. Mr.
Goschen, it is affirmed, has "walked Into
the United States parlor." Caution as to
England's action is enjoined.
SALISBTJET'S COUP ON GLADSTONE.
He Receives a Labor Deputation, but Re
fuses Assent to Legislation.
London, May XL In accordance with
the arrangement made by the Conserva
tives, alter Mr. Gladstone had declined
to receive a labor deputation to dis
cuss the eight-hour question, Lord Salisbury
agreed to receive a committee from the Lon
don Trades Council, and to-day he was
waited on by a number of representatives
from that body. The spokesman urged
upon Lord Salisbury the necessity
for the legal establishment of an eight-hour
day in order to equalize the conditions be.
tween those who are compelled to work for
an excessive number of hours and those who
are without work at all.
In reply. Lord Salisbury said thev must
not assume because he had consented to
receive them that he had been con
verted to their views. He depre
cated their desire for legislation to
attain their ends, and declared that
it would be far better to depend upon the
slower, but surer and irrevocable, action of
public opinion in favor of shorter hours
where economic circumstances rendered a
reduction practicable.
P0BT0 NOVO IS SAVED.
The Dahomey King Is Twice Repulsed
With Great Slaughter.
Marseilles, May 1L A letter received
here from one of the French stations in
Dahomey says Porto Novo was attacked
April 15 by King Behanzin, at the head of
4,000 natives, at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Although the forces defending the town
were not more than 500 in number, and were
composed chiefly of Senegals sharp-shooters,
Behansin was repulsed. The Senegals dis
played much courage, but the soldiers of
King Tofll, who fought under direction of
French officers, were so terrified they aban
doned the field and fled.
Before King Behanzin renewed his at
tack the next day a detachment of 300 men
reached Porto Novo and assisted in the de
fense. As a result of the second day's
operations the King was again compelled to
retire with a loss of 400 men. The French
had 15 wounded. M. Bailey, Governor of
French Guinea, received a lance thrust in
the arm. A large number of Remington
rifles were found strewn about the battle
field. ITALY'S NEW MINISTRY.
It Is Still Incomplete, but Most of the Big
Places Are Filled.
Rome, May XL To-day, at a large meet
ing of the supporters of the Marquis di Ru
dini, the Premier of the late Cabinet, those
in attendance came to a decision not to

Gathering Up Anarchist Playthings.
Brussels, May 1L As the result of in
formation given by Anarchists now in their
custody, the police or Liege have seized a
quantity of explosives and cartridges which
had been stored near a factory belonging to
the father of the Anarchist "prisoner, Ma
thyssen,who is charged with being a receiv
er of stolen cartridges. The police of Es
neux have found 'a 'sack containing 200
dynamite cartridges and a quantity of gunpowder.
A PLOT AGAINST SPAIN.
England, Germany and Italy to Partition
Morocco, Tripoli and the Canaries.
Paeis, May XL The Lantern says that
during the disturbances in Morocco last
November Germany proposed to England
that should Spain intervene in Morocco,
Great Britain and Germany should forcibly
oppose Spain, blockade the Spanish coasts,
bombard Barcelona and occupy the Balearic
and Canary Islands. On the conclusion of
peace, the LinUrne adds, Morocco and the
Canary Islands would be divided between
Great Britain and Germany. Tripoli, ac
cording to the paper, was to be given to
Italy.
In pursuance of these negotiations. Great
Britain and Germany addressed a menacing
note to Spain, which country, warned of
the plot by Austria, abandoned the idea of
intervention.

The liberation or Belgium.
Brussels, May XL Now that the voting
franchise has been extended, Belgium is
free from the shackles of the Constitution
which Europe hailed as a model of liberal
ism at the time of its inauguration, but

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Thirty Brotherhood Men Discharged
by the Cambria Company,
THEIE PLACES FILLED BY HUNS.
An Engineer Sajs Not a Wheel Will Turn
With the Firm's Goods.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS
fSPKClAL TELEGRAM TO TnX DISPATCH.
Johnstown, May 11. The Cambria
Company is pursuing its policy of crushing
out organized labor with a vengeance.
Spies have been sent out since the trouble
here began, and now every Brotherhood
man when he appears at the gates to go to
work is told that his services are no longer
needed. Thirty were discharged to-day,
and Hungarians were promptly engaged to
take their places.
Owing to the adjustment of the difficulty
at Cleveland and other places, the officials
of the organizations have notified the men
here that they cannot all be here for several
days. Owen Gallagher, Chairman of the
Grievance Committee, said to-day he had
received assurance that the officials would
stand by the action of the men here when
the facts in the case were presented to them.
A prominent railroad engineer and Broth
erhood man, in speaking of the difficulty,
this evening saidi
"If the grand officers approve of the ac
tion of the local Brotherhood, and the Cam
bria Company refuses to recognize tho
order, a big strike will be inaugurated. Of
course, no interference will be made with
the operations of the mills, and they can
likely employ new men without trouble.
On the big railroad lines, however, not a
wheel of a car will be moved that is loaded
with material to or from tho Cambria Com
pany. This will compel a shutdown, which
is bound to continue until the company
yields, ns the trainmen are so well organized
that tlioir demands uuon the railroads must
bo acceded to.
"The situation had been thoroughly dis
cussed before action was taken, andlt was at
a full meeting of the Brotherhood on Sunday
last that sanction was given to the commit
tee to present their grievance in the name
of the order. As everything has been regu
lar, the men say tnat nothing but proper
concessions on the part of the Cambria
Compauy can-avert a strike. Three things
will be demanded. The reinstatement of
the discharged men, the recognition or the
order and the payment of a higher rate of
wages."
So sure aro the people hero that a strike
will be ordered that they aie already pre
paring for it. As a large majority of tha
7,000 workmen trade at the company's store,
and as in the event of a strike their credit
would be lost and supplies cut off, other
morchants aie anticipating what will fol
low. Accordingly, an organized effort is
being made by tho merchants to refuse
credit to such transient customers as are
likely to drift to them when thrown out of
work and credit gone at the company's
store.
