And not less com prehensive and valuable is xit in the lesser and nioie numerous spheres of usefulness." Shortening Their Line. Oilicials of the Lackawanna railroad are straining every nerve to put their road in position to handle the Immense ti utile that goes west, to Chicago and St. Louis. lireat inipiovement is being made on the main line from Port Jervis to the Delaware Water flap, by shortening Die line, nutting down tho gradients ind increasing tlie track facilities. Tho contract work for the construction of a cut-off line from Waterloo to the Delaware Water Ciap will soon be un der way. This line will start lrom a point a short distance west of Water loo near tho cut, and run thence some ilistance, cutting through a corner of UutherforU preserve to the Allumuehy mountain, through which u tunnel .'.SOU feet long will lie bored; thence in 11 direct line to Water (Jap, where IL will again take up the main line.

Strike at the Blast Furnace. A number of brnkemen on the small engines run by the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company conducted a strike Saturday nt the blast furnace, which about holds the record for celerity in tho matter of settlement. They struck at 7 o'clock Saturday niornliis. met Foreman Umlch the same afternoon, and decided to go back to work. Komo were back nt the works yesterday morning. Tlie others will re sume work today. ,lt seems that, since the firemen at the South mill went on strike. Mr. Hltick, whA has charge of the blast furnace, has dally sent' a. car down to the mill with Importations of hands to help mil. The car makes two trips, one for the day and one for the night shift. The striking firemen roundly "scabbed" the hrakemeu for carrying their success 01.1 nnd hence lestilted the strike, ac cording to the company ofllcluls. When the men went out Saturday, Mr. Itlnck look off liN eoaf and manned an en gine, the engineer followed suit, as did the for much, and work went on btlsk ly. Later in tlie day men were found lo take the strikers' places. Meeting of Switchmen. A sectet meeting of the switchmen employed by the Delaware, Lackawan na and Western llnilroud company was held yesterday afternoon In Econ omy hall, but none of those present gave out anything about the delibera tions of the session. The rumors to tlie effect that the meeting was or dered for tlie purpose of ngaln causing a cessation of labor seems to havo been entirely unrounded, as the busi ness transacted was merely nuititie work of a regular meeting. Oirand Master Ilawiey left the city Friday and was not in attendance at the meeting. Chairman Timlin, when usked by a Tribune man whether any action which might result lit a strike had been taken, lefusod to answer. It was staled, however, that the ilu grant reports circulated before the meeting were groundless. New Hachineiy.

A 25 horse-power Crocker &. Wheeler electric motor will be used in driving this1 new- piece of machinery, and a similar motor has also been placed in the cabinet shop, of .' horse-power, for driving tho tire lathe, which is now being operated day and night, owing to a rush of work. Passenger Equipment. Wilhln the past ten months practic ally nil of the Lackawanna. iailroad"s passenger equipment has paed through the repair shops and all the cars are now in first-cla.ss shape In every resppet. preparatory to the Pan American exposition business over the road. There yet remains but n few cars lo be overhauled before May 1, and when these are finished it can truthfully be said that the Lackawanna's passenger equipment is second to none in the country. At the Blast Furnace. 'I'lie big Xo. 1 furnace, the wmk of dismantling which has been in prog ress for some time, has now been al most completely taken down, and the metal plates are being sent from th Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's local plant to the new one at liuffalo life soon as the big iron sheets ate re moved.

IJy Rxilmhe Who liimi Thf AvndaUil PreJ. New Yoik, April 2S. The llov. Dr. Clint If H. Parkhurst pt cached today at the Mudlsoti Square Presbyterian church on topics connected with his leceiit trip south, lie also made an Incidental reply to Governor Candler, who was teporlod us having denounced those northerners who took an Inter est In educational mutters In tlie south. , Dr. JMrkhurit said that the patty of northern people who recently made the trip referred to did It not because l hey had tiny special interest In the south as n distinct section but because they weie conscious or the unity which makes the north and south niembeis of each other. The conference held at Winston Salem In North Catollna, he said, was characterized by the ut most frankness on both sides and yet fioni first to Inst not an embittering word was spoken, lteferrlng to Gov ernor Candler's criticisms. Dr. Park huist said they would not hnvo been made, "hud the, governor or Georgia, as did the governor of North Carolina, (oino Into direct touch with the per sonnel of Ihe conference or for live minutes inspired the atniospheie which the conference exalted." deferring lo the estimation in which the people of the south and those of the north hold the negio. Dr. Park lii.tst said: "Tlie southerner does not like the negro any better than tlie average northerner does u:id the two carry themselves toward the negio Willi just, about the same amount of Chribtiun consideration only of the two, the southern white man has per haps; this advantage, that lie does not mi'ke quite so llamboyant a pretense of loving the negro as his northern conferee does. The southern white man dislikes the neirio and owns up lo it. The white man in the north dislikes the negro and lies about it." The preacher said further: "The un dlHcrimlimtlng act by which tho no. gioes had confeired upon them the light lo vote, was one of these blun ders that it is not easy to escape from after once it Is committed, but which il would sceni wu" ought to have had northern statesmanship sutliciently In telligent to prevent. "The counsel that both the northern and the southern fi lends of the negro are now giving him is to keep qplet upon the whole suffrage matter, to keep out nf politics, not to talk about the constitution, not to Insist upon his rights, but t attend industi iously to the work of getting himself well ready -which he Is not now for what God and the country and the future may have- in store for him." Dr. Pa'khurst closed by the following general refeience to present conditions among southern people: "The south docs not altogether love us but no one there hates us nearly ns much as It would bo perfectly nutuia! to hate us. They are all glad slavery Is done with, ihey are all glad that they are In the iininn. They all glory in tlie flag, even while in tender beieavernont they lay Powers upon the graves of the confed etnte dead We belong to them and ihey belong to us, and every deed of kindness wisely rendered, every worl or .sympathetic interest prudently spo ken, eeiy new comiiietcial relation an' every Interchange of hospitalities discreetly arranged, will be so much rout! United to (lint perfect readjust ment of ltlalions which shall make for the enrichment of our common histoiy." AUSTRIA AND MEXICO FRIENDS Mexico Also About to Resume Diplo matic Relations. n.i K-aliwie Wire from 'Ihe As-(ni.iti'il l'u-. Washington, April 2S. Complete rap prochement between the governments of Austria and Mexico has been brought about, and each country is about to send a minister to the other. This terminates an international es trangement dating from the days when .Maximilian sought to gain a foothold in Mexico and lust his life In the ad venluie. Kvor since then Austria and Mexito have suspended all llltercouiso with each other, commercially and politically. Recently, however, friendly overtures have been made to termin ate tin- estrangement, and have re sulted In a satisfactory agreement be tween ihem by which their old rela tions of friendship will be resumed. A hill has pnssed the .Mexican con giess i veiling the fact of a rupprorhe nii'Ut and providing for a minister to Austria at a salary of SlC.OnO. Austria will lake similar action by sending a nilnlsti r lo Mexico, and this will close the long and historic separation. Tho Mexican government has taken slops to lesiime dlptonmtlo coininunl cation Willi South American countries, the llrst move In that direction being the tippoliitiuC'iU of a Mexican minister to the Argentine Republic. For mnnv years there litis been no diplomatic In letcoiirse between Mexico nnd her sis ter republics on the Southern cnntln t in, as tlii'io was Utile (onuneico be tween them and few political questions leqitlrlug diplomatic icprcseutntlon. decently, however. Argentina made a friendly move by accrediting a min ister both to Washington and to Mex ico, nnd t'rliguay has taken siinilur action. Til" selection of tlie city of Mexico as the place for holding the Congress of Anuulcan UepubllcA has had a further liilluouco In Inducing Mexico to extend her relations with Southern countries, As a icsult of this sentiment a minister to Argentina has been named, nnd onu to TJiuguay will probably be appointed before long. It Is expected that this will speedily devolop fito uu extension of diplomatic lelutloiis between Mexico and all Southern American uountiles, ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.

The trade thoroughly understands that Wholesale prices arc lo bo kept stable and the elrculur rates maintained with tin advance of ten cents per ton month ly ft oni now until September. This, however, does not have nihcli Inllticnce on consumers.
