The Demands of the ST. Paul TaiIOrs Gen
orally Acceded To.
As intimated by the GLOBE yesterday over
100 tailors rose up from their cross-legged
positions, laid aside their goose, lap-board
and beeswax, and iucoutinently declared that
they had struck. The alarm spread from
shop to shop, and there was CONSERVATION
among the bosses. Their fears were we'll
grounded for q strike at this season of the
year would lnyole an immense pecuniary loss
and untold inconvenience to customers.
The tallors being wont to commune with
that most silent and serious of all birds, the
calm an meditatlye goose, were as serene as
summer. They practically commanded the
situation, and they knew 1t. A few of the
bosses anticipated the results of deadlock,
and they wisely concluded to make the best
Of the dilemma.
The strike was inaugurated on Wednesday
night. but did not gain much impetus until
yesterday morning. The talors at q meeting
Wednesday night drew up schedule of re-
vised prices, demanding an advance in wages
OF about 10 per cent. over former prices. They
also dlew up an agreement on this basis to
present to their employers for their signatures
few of the latter saw that trouble was
brewing, and signified their willingness to ac-
cede to the demand on Wednesday night
These were Duncan & Barrey, Scheffer Bros,
and McGrath.
Yesterday morning the tailors met in the
hall at the corner of Ninth and Exchange
streets, and committee was appointed to call
on the bosses and present the agreement.
About lorty tallors, who had not formally
struck, and employed at Palmes and Mathies,
Good Schurmeier's, formed IN line and
marched down Third street until their shops
were reached, when they laid down their work.
A meeting was held at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, at which the advance was fixed at a
basis of II per cent. and the agreement was
signed by all the Bosses
Among those who signed were the follow.
ing:
=. George Palmes, Mathes, Good & Schur-
meier, Meyer d Gall, Pease Bros, G. Ander-
son, A. j. johnson, Cronnquest & Peterson,
Schaeffer Bros, W. L McGrath, Duncan s
Barry, T. Fahey and John Picha,

DGreS' Outrage Punctured.

New ORLEANS, April 21..-The Democrat
tomorrow will publish a statement received
from R. D. Bridger, judge of the Fourth judi
cial district, in relation to the publication
made by Charles Heath, concerning the burn
ing of his property In Caldwell parish. Judge
Br!dger says Charles Heath owns no property
in the parish. His brother, Edward Heath,
owns 4 plantation in this parish,
ten miles below Columbia, appraised at SS,-
$40. Chas. Heath usually visited the place
and managed it for his brother. He was new
er on the place more than three or four months
during each year. The place was generally
leased to, or worked on shares by the laborers.
The Judge says the ward In which Heath's
place is Situated is controlled by the colored
population represented in the police jury by a
colored man who is also q member of the par
ish school board. The justice of the peace
and constable are colored. The statement of
Chas. Heath in relation to the alleged trouble
aud causes are false.
The judge further says there having been
several fires recently in the parish, and all
buildings burned being insured, I determine
to have the matter investigated. The follow
ing is an extract of the report OF the grand
Jury at the January term, of the burning of
Heath's property: "We find the general
opinion OF persons residing in the vicinity is
the burning was the work of incendiary." 1t
is reported the property destroyed was fully
covered by insurance.
In conclusion Judge Bridger says am fully
convinced the property was burned to get the

CHICAGO, April 21.-The floods In this city

crease. Only four carloads of stock arrived
at the yards this morning, all receipts OF to-
day having arrived last night. The roads, are
obliged to use each others tracks at random,
and patch up lines of communication as best
they may, for hardly road that comes into
the city from the west, north or south has
track free from water. During the night the
water in the rivers and on low lying prairies
rose five inches, and, contrary to expectation
and precedent, is still increasing in volume
and height. At the Ashland avenue bridge
the abutments have caved in. The water is
within an inch of Fuller street bridge, and 1t
is within an inch of the bed of the Chicago d
Alton railroad bridge. The johnson q Weare

Liability for Taxation.

Liability for Taxation.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-In the case of the
International bank Of Chicago, against which
the government has claim for deposits not
returned for taxation, the commissioner of in.
ternal revenue decides the bank is liable for
taxes amounting to $4,000.
Counsel for the bank submitted eleven
points upon which commissioner ruled:
First-Checks received for clearings carried
to the credit of depositors, were deposits in
the meaning Of the law, and if deposited for
collection would become taxable when the col.
lections were actually made.
Second Overdrafts cannot lawfully be de-
ductedfrom deposits in making returns for
taxation, but an OYerdraft Is not a deposit aud
cannot be treated as such.
Ihlrd-Checks, where certified by bank, deb.
>fted TO drawer and credited in certified checks
account, should not be charged up, and the
bank is entitled to deduction.
Fourth-Cashiers' checks given ln--the pur.
chase OF exchange, ETC., to persons not Gus.
toners, are deposits,
Fifth-Collections made for outside banks
and not remitted the following day, after the
receipt. Margins deposited, on options, are
taxable as deposits.
Seventh-Special accounts deposited under
agreement for money, shall remain certain
length of tiIae, and at special rate of inter-
est, are deposits subject to taxation.
Eight-Bills payable, including certificates,
deposits issued by banks for money Dor.
rewed by it, are actually certificates of de.
posit, subject to taxation.
Ninth-Debit checks carried TO the credit of
the drawer to be drawn against thy other checks
are deposits.
Teuth-Checks received on out of town
banks, If carried to the credit of customers, are
taxable.
Eleventh-All moneys coming into the
hands of banks to be repaid at a future day,
with or without interest, should be treated as
deposits, whether secured by collections or
not.
This last ruling was on the points raised
by the banks that money borrowed on govern
ment bonds was not taxable.

The Wearer Found in One Heath, Who
Tells a Rather Suspicious Story.
BosToN, Mass, April 1s.-The Advertiser
will tomorrow publish statement from
Charles Heath, now residing at Maiden, this
State, who is the person referred to by Senator
Dawes in the Senate debate as having his
property in the South destroyed by
incendiarism. Heath's plantation, of
about thousand acres in extent,
was in Caldwell parish, on the 0nachita river,
ten miles below Columbus. He states that he,
with his brother, who is a New Orleans
merchant, bought the place thirteen or four
teen years ago, and had established upon
it Clubhouse, grist-mill and
repair shop, fitted up with improved
machinery, under white overseer,
and were not seriously interfered with by the
was in 1877 or ITS. 1t was on account of
decision that we would not employ white
man as overseer. From that time Heath's
trouble began, neighbors and Others accusing
him of a willingness to devide land with negroes
But Heath says he got along very we'll un-
til last Christmas. Upon Christmas night the
whole place was burned, with Improvements,
worth $4,000. They burned up my tools,
wagons, grist mill and blacksmith shop and
about s40O or $500 worth of goods
i'll about twenty minutes. We had to work in,
and we came within an ace of being burned
alive. The only thing that saved lis was the
wind, which blew the flames away from the
building in which we were sleeping.
Heath's statement alleges series of out
RACES perpetrated upon negroes In the parish
where he was located. He says he was assured
by his friends, some Of whom are strong
Democrats, he had got into the worst part Of
the State.
Heath says lie shall 20 back to New Or
leans, where he has real estate, this fall. The
negroes pay him for his land and mules en-
ployed. His brother went to New Orleans,
has been long time a merchant there, and
was appointed mayor OF the city by Gen.
Sheridan. He says the fire was not alluded to
in the papers. He made no secret in New Or.
leans of his determination to investigate the
matter.

Rochester Union Dem.l

The brief OF Messrs. Emott & Choate, coun
sci fer the plaintiffs fills three closely printed
columns of the New York World, and we avail
ourselves of that paper's labor in summarizing
ii by copying as follows:
The undisputed facts are:
First-That the Northern Pacific railroad
ring, or Credit Mobilier, raised corruption
fund of Sl02, 900 to start and carry their legis-
lation, which embraces various acts from
1854 to 1870, through Congress, of which
Secretary Window was member, prominent
in introducing and advocating all the rings
measures.
Second-That 10000 shares of the com.
pany's stock, for which not one cent was paid
by anyone, have been issued to members and
friends of the ring, Secretary Window receiv-
ing over 1000 of them.
Putting these facts, and the fact of Secre.
tary WINDOWS recent and present perform
ances as secretary of the treasury in the in
terest of the bondholders and national banks,
together, 1t is easy for the people 10 measure
the Northern Rcifc treasurer appointed by
the Union Pacific president, without making a
mistake as to his character, or to the charac-
ter of the power behind him that controls and
| manipulates the public purse.

The Situation in Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE, April 2l.-The rivers center
ing at.NIilwaukee all fell rapidly today and no
damage is now anticipated. Reports in local
papers that the dam in the northern part of
the city, across the Milwaukee river had gone
out, is untrue. The dam is all right and no
fears are entertained for its safety.
Specials from Madison, Wis, says Lake
Monona is rising and houses in
the lower part of the city are
flooded, but no great damage done. At all
points on the Milwaukee and Menominee
rivers, north of here, the water is recedng.
The damage on the Milwaukee river will prob
ably aggregate at the towns of West Bend,
Thiensvile Burton and Newburg, $4,000.
No damage of consequence has been done in
the city except the partial loss Of one ice
house, some little lumber, and cordwood, and
tan bark. Everything is quiet to-day, and no
further apprehensions are felt.

The refundng scheme of Mr.. William Win

of boldness and novelty. If the Secretary Of

means of a simple agreement only with the
holders of government bonds, continue those
bonds after maturity at such rate of interest
as seems to him to be proper, he would appear
to be possessedIof very large powers which have
