KLTVS FEOSI THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS
London, Oct. 2G. With a view to r.void
ing the calamitous effects that would follow
the threatened strike among the English
cotton operatives, the Mayors of Liverpool
and Manchester are trying to induce the
disputants to consent to arbitra
tion. The lna'Jer will be submitted
to the council of th9 operatives
Cotton Spinner.' Association, which will
meet nest Saturday. The Masters' Feder
ation has already held a meeting, but the
decision arrived at has not been divulged.
The opinion is general that the negotiations
to bring shout the arbitration ot the trouble
will prove fruitless.
The subject is discussed on the Man
chester Exchange. It is estimated that the
threatened strike will affect 13,000
000 spindle. The Masteis Federa
tion controls 18,000,000 spindles. The
tpinners in Korth and Northeast Lanca
shire and Bolton are not affected by the
strike, and the 5,030,000 spindles in these
districts will be run as usual, paying the
Federation Cne of 1 farthing per spindle a
week.
Both Sides Aro "Well Prepared.
If lo, 000,000 spindles stop, 52,000 persons,
Jt lr.rpe proportion of whom are women
and children, will be idle. The funds ot
the operatives' organization are in a pros
perous condition, and already support has
been received lrom the spinners in the
unaffected districts. Stocks ot yarn in
manufacturers' hands arc heavy, and it is
believed that if tlie production of yarns
were stopped, weaving of cloth could
be continued lor two or three weeks with
out difficulty. If the lockout or strike
should extenJ over three weeks, the pinch
would begin to be felt, and many of the
weaving sheds would have to close. '
The fine of a larthinga week on each of
the workinc spindles will provide an in
come ot over 5.000 weekly, and this will
enable the Federation to continue its lock
out. The operatives' organization is
well prepared for a long strjggle.
Their lund alreadv amounts to
120,000. The unaSected opera
tives are bin'ling themselves to pay special
levies during the strike. Many of the spin
ners who will quit work have voluntarily
signified their willingness lo forgo their pay
for the first few weeks of the struggle. This
will materially aid their organization.
Ono Weak Toint or tlio Strikers.
A weak point in the position of the oper
atives is that nearly half of the men who
arc aSected bv the reduction of wages de
cided upon by the masters do not belong to
the association and are, therefore, not en
titled to draw strike pay. Their inability
to hold out may result in a speedy ending
of the struggle.
The executives of the Masters' Federa
tion has announced that the Federation is
willing to submit the cotton trade dispute
to arbitration if the operatives wish to
adopt that means of settlement
GEKEKfll BOOTH WANTS M0BE MOITEY.
The Earl or Onslow's Inquiry Injuring His
Darkest England Scheme.
LoxDONjOct 2G. The committee headed
by the Earl of Onslow which is to investi
gate the receipts and expenditures of the
Salvation Army, held its first sitting yes
terday. In the meantime General Booth,
the head of the army, has applied to. the
members of the organization for G0,000 to
enable him to continue his "Darkest Ens
land" work. He insists that unless this
sum is received before Christmas he will be
placed in a position of extreme difficulty,
and the further development of his bcheme
will be impossible.
General Booth, in his appeal, savs it will
be almost impossible lor the Earl of
Onslow's committee to report for some
time, and it is practically certain that
money will be withheld pending the re
port. It appears from the appeal that Gen
eral Booth desires to escape from a dilemma
and to abandon the "Darkest England"
scheme.

The President of, the London Chamber of
Commerce Gives Canada a Tip.
London, Oct. 2a A meeting of the
London Chamber of Commerce was heldl
to-day. The Rt Hon. Sir John Lubbock,
President of the Chamber, " dwelt
upon the unsatisfactory state of
trade, which, however, he declared,
had not been effected by the McKinley
tariff to the extent that was expected.
British trade with America, he said, had
declined less than it had with other coun
tries. The greatest sufferers were the
Americans, who felt the pinch more acutely
than did the British.
"Canadian exporters, Sir John added,
were in a coudition of commercial paralysis
that could not be indefinitely prolonged.
The McKinley bill constituted a" grand op
portunity for Canada. This bill had placed
American farmers "at a disadvantage. If
Canada profited by the position and low
ered her import duties, her mer
chants would be benefited, be
cause many British products required
in the "West would inevitably find their
way through Canada and the border with
out paying the heavy American custom
dues. Sir John declared that bimetallism
would never be adopted in Great Britain,
as it would be impossible to fix a ratio of
value.

A LAST SAD JOURNEY.
The Fnneral Train of Mrs. Harrison
. lo Pass Through Piltshurg
ABOUT 10:20 O'CLOCK TO-NIGHT.
Final irranfrcments for the Services in
Washington and
AT THE CEMETERY IX INDIANAPOLIS.
Washington, Oct 2C The body of
Mrs. Harrison was laid out to-day in the
room in which she died. The emaciation
shows tho effects of the long, wasting illness
of eight months, that reduced her large,
matronlr figure to a thin, frail form. But
her lace in death has the same kindly ex
pression that it had in lite. The appearance
is natural, and there are no Hues of suffer
ing visible upon it She looks as if her last
moments had been full of peace, and her
expression suggests that she was tired and
had gently1 dropped asleep. Mrs. McKce
superintended the preparation ot the re
mains for burial, and communicated the
wishes of the family to the undertaker.
Mrs. Harrison, as is well Known, was ex
ceedingly fond of flowers. The casket will
be deeply strewn with them, and they will
form her couch. The bodv will be placed
in the casket during the afternoon and
quietly removed to the East llooin at a late
hour to await tho funeral services to-morro!7
morning. The arrangements for theseserv
ices are in a general way complete, though
details yet remain to be fixed.
Tho President Moro Composed.
The President was more composed to-day
than he was yesterday. He is reasonably
calm, though deeply grief stricken. Private
Secretary Ilalford consulted him for a short
time during the morning about th: details
of the arrangements here and in Indianapo
lis, and the President made sug?estions
with reference to them. Habitually con
siderate of others, the President appears to
he holding back his own deep griet in order
to lighten the burden of those around him.
He passes much of his time with
his little grandson, Benjamin Harrison Mc
Kec. Between the two the experienced
soldier, statesman and President, and the
light-hearted, manly little boy there has
always been a touching bond of affection,
and an intimacy which overlooks the dis
parity in years. The lad is never happier
than when he can persuade his crandlather
to read to him, and Mr. Harrison, iu his
deep bereavement, finds iu the lad's, cheer
ful presence a welcome outlet for his strong
domestic feelings.
Messages of sympathy and condolence,
both by mail and telegraph, continue to ar
rive at the White House. They come from
all parts of the country and from Canada,
nnd represent all classes and conditions of
the people.
Sympathy From Confederate Veterans.
The following, properly signed, was
transmitted to President Harrison to-day
from Dallas, Tex.:
WnniEAS, We, the United Confederate
Veterans of the Tran-Mississlppl Depart
ment, assembled in reunion at Dallas, Tex.,
this 23th day ot October, 1812. have just re
ceived tlie melancholy intelligence of Jlrs.
ir.uiisnn's death, too wife ot the l'resident
of the United States: theiefore, be it
Resolved. That wo deeply sympathize
with the Ptesident and hit faintly in their
sad bereavement, and dcc'.nro th.it we re

plary and waiin-licarted Christian woman,
but as also lepiescntins the highest order
ot American woinaunoou.
At the request of Secretary of State John
W. Foster a meeting of the Cabinet officers
in the city was held this raorniug to deter
mine whether all the cabinet should go to
Indianapolis to attend Mrs. Harrison's
funeral. Those present were Secretaries
Foster, Tracy, Noble and Busk,
and Attorney General Miller. It
was decided that all of the
Cabinet should attend the luneral except
one member, Secretary Tracy, it being de
cided best to have one representative re
main here. Secretary Charles Foster will
join the party in Indianapolis. Mrs. Miller,
wife of the " Attorney General, aud Mrs.
Harrison's most intimate friend in Wash
ington, will accompany the party on the
train, and it is expected some of the wives
of tho other Cabinet officers will go. The
train on ihe Pennsylvania road will reach
Pittsburg at 10:20 Thursday evening.
No Invitations to 15e Issued.
Vice President Morton will he one of the
pallbearers, taking the place of Secretary
Charles Foster. Private Secretary Hallor'd
said to-day that the statement that
invitations would be issued to the funeral
services iu the East Boom tn-mnrrow is
erroneous. He said that the family would
not issue invitations, but expected only the
kinsmen and relatives and a few of the
really personal friends of the dead woman
and the President to attend.
The services will be extremely simple.
Bev. Dr. Hamlin, of the Church of the
Covenant, will be assisted by Bev. Dr.
Bartlett, pastor of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church in this city. Dr.
Bartlett was the pastor, for many years, of
the church in Indianapolis of which the
President and Mrs. Harrison were members.
The boys' choir of St John's Episcopal
Church will sing a few hymns.
Tho Arrangements In Indianapolis.
The arrangements 'at Indianapolis for the
funeral ot Mrs. Harrison are practically
completed. Tho lot in which Mrs. Harri
son's remains will be interred was
selected this morning by B. S. Mc
Kee, who was charged with that
commission. The lot lies next to that
of Dr. Newcomer, a relative of th
Harrison family, and is in a beautiful loca
tion, lying about two blocks west of the
chapel, and adjacent to that part of the
cemetery in winch are the soldiers' graves.
For active pall bearers, Marshal Ilansdell
went to the arsenal this morning and se
lected ten regular army officers.
The decoration of the First Presbyterian
Church, here the burial service'will be
held, wiU'consist of draperits,( flowers and
plants, with the national colors conspicu
ously displayed. As indicating- the num
ber of friends who will accompany the fun
eral train Secretary Halford telegraphed
this morning tor ten carriages for their ac
commodation. A request was also tele
graphed for rooms for the President's cab
inet, that they may secure much needed
rest before undertaking the return trip.
The demand for admittance to the church
will be a score of times in excess ot the
church's capacity, which is not over 800.

undertakers are to be arrested to-day and
to-morrow for violating the United States
anti-trust law. Warrants were issued last

in the State where the trutt is not in con
trol. Ii the oflenso is proven( it will prob
ably break up the trust.
Loved ones say it. o

suffer secretly as long as you '
can, then go all to pieces and
"don't care" what happens.

ease is upon you.

PERFECT HOUSE GUI,
Don't mean simply scrubbing the floors and woodwork. Your papered
walls and ceilings accumulate as much dirt as any part of the house andit
can't be cleaned, at least no one has yet made a success of that art. Any
way, new wall paper is cheaper. We have wall paper in our stock made by
the following firms: Beck, Graves, Manhatten, Campbell, Gledhill,
Strahan, Nevius & Haviland, Cary, Cresswell & Washburn, Janaway &
Carpender, Mairs, Bartholomae,, Wilson Fenimore, Warren Fuller, Frank
ford, Yerkes, Birge, Howell, Hobbs, Empire and ail the leading factories of
America. We mention these names because many dealers claim the exclu
sive control of them. These goods were all (but one) bought direct from
the factories, thereby giving us our selections from each entire line. No
other house in Pittsburg has this variety. We also keep a large line of
Lincrusta Walton and picture moldings; also any number of paper hangers
and painters. The dealers admit our prices are the lowest. All our papers
above 5c are full length. This is more than many dealers in Pittsburg can
say. We are receiving new goods (1893 patterns) and can please any
fancy. We have a splendid line of special (1S93 goods) 22-inch papers at
15c and any number of gold papers at 10c.
