A half dozen workmen in the Vul-
can steel works. st. Louis, were ar
rested about two months ago, charged
with conspiracy, they having struck
for higher wages and quit work when
two heats of iron were partially melted
and the cupola ladle filed with mol
ten metal. The Vulcan superinten-
dents succeeded in getting other men
to take their places in time to prevent
actual loss, but the strike having taken
place at a critical time, and with the
evident purpose of compelling the
employers either to grant their terms
or suffer great loss, the men we're
arrested for conspiracy. The case is
likely to be very sharply contested.
The attorney for the men moved to
quash the proceedings, on the ground
that no offense had been committed,
but the court Of criminal correction
has decided that, if the circumstances
as alleged can be proved, an ofense
will be clearly made out, and the mo-
ton to Quash was therefore overruled.
The men will now be put upon trial.
the case being of kind to excite a
good deal of interest in both employ
ers and working men everywhere.

the same journey to polish off Sarenen
and CotOcachi. Cayambe is thought
to be an active volcano, but it is not
certain that this is the case, nor is its
height well determined.
The height of Saranen is not known.

TO-Day.s Weather.

The temperature at sunrise this
morning was SO degrees, and four de-
grees warmer than forty-eight hours
previous. A gentle northeasterly
breeze prevailed here and mainly
over the south. The prospect favors
warmer weather, with winds shifting
to the southeast and a falling baron
eter, followed perhaps by needed rain
showers. The only districts of the
country where rain is predicted by
the signal service reports to-day is in
the lower Missouri valley, where oc-
c%asional showers are expected; also in
the upper Mississippi and upper lake
regions.
