Against Reduction.

Against Reduction.
PITTsBURG, May 2.-Complete reports from
the railroad coal district, in which the strike
was begun yesterday, state that all the
miners have Joined the strike against a re-
duction save those employed at w. P. Rend
q Co. s and the Cherry Hill Coal Company. A
delegation of strikers, headed by martial
bands, will surround these pits this afternoon
and remain until the men at work join the
strike. The operators are preparing to have
the strikers kept off their property, but no
violence is anticipated.
Miners Secretary Flannery states that he
has offered, on behalf of the miners, to arbi-
trate the dispute, under the provisions of the
Wallace arbitration act signed by the Gov
ernpr few days ago. The operators decline
to say tonight whether they will accept the
proposition. Nearly all the mills in the city
are out of coal, and many will have to shut
down for day or two until arrangements
are made to supply them by river,

who has been appointed?' was the greet
ing of the Senator.
Judge Woods" replied the repor ter.
"Well it is no surprise to me-" said the
Senator, and he led the way into his library.
In speaking of the candidates who had
been mentioned in connection with the of
flee, the Senator said: II recommended the
appointment of Judge Hines be-
cause l believed that he possessed
in a very high degree the qualities
upon the bench of the Circuit Court he gave
very great satisfaction to the bar,
and was universally regarded as a prompt,
intelligent and tempered Judge
He was, besides, a good soldier, and was
badly wounded at Stone river. | do not
think the fact that Judge Hines
was a warm personal friend and
business partner should be any reason
for ignoring his acknowledged fitness for the
position. My preference for Judge Hines,
however, did not lead me into any disparage-
ment of any of the other gentlemen who were
named. l laid all the papers sent me
before the Attorney-general, and went over
all the names with the President, giving him
a fair statement of their experience on the
bench and their standing at the bar. They
were all my friends, and | could not dispar-
age any of them"
Relative to the appointment of Judge
Woods, the Senator said: "The only objec-
ton that can be raised to his appointment,
from anv quarter is that it will vacate his
position on the Supreme bench, and will put
in jeopardy in 1884 what we won in 1880
said to the President that as to his qualifca-
tions no objections could be raised"

France Thinks No Idea of Aggression is En-

PARIS, May 2.-The Minister of Foreign
Affairs, speaking in the Senate on the triple
alliance, said he believed in the sincerity of
the declarations of the Italian Foreign Min

aggression against France was entertained,
He believed the alliance would not in any
way change the relations of France with the
powers. France must be prudent, for van
pushed country which is regaining its
strength, and which is condemned to main
tain a large defensive force must not be sur
prised to find itself exposed to jealousy and

The Prophets Vindicated by the Appoint
ment of Hon. william A. Woods.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The President to-
day appointed William A. Woods district
judge for the district of Indiana, vice Walter
y Gresham, appointed Postmaster-general.
For wonder the wise men who knew all
about appointments in advance were right
in predicting the appointment of Judge
Woods. 1t has developed that Judge Woods
was Attorney-general Brewster's favorite,
and, as intimated in last nights telegram, he
also had a strong friend in Postmaster
general Gresham, though the latter did not
urge him upon the President in spirit of
antagonism to any of the other leading can
didates. 1t has been apparent for several
days past that the bar of the State, outside
of Indianapolis, was centering upon Judge
Wood This was manifest before Senator
Harrison left for home, and he said in an in
terview just previous to his departure that
he did not feel at all certain that Judge
Hines would obtain the judgeship. The drift
of sentiment grew daily that Judge Kibbey
was strong third
SKETCH OF THE APPoINTEE
Judge Woods is a native of middle Ten
nessee. having been born in Marshall county,
in that State May 16, 1887. When he was
still quite young his parents removed to
Davis county, Iowa. In 1859 he entered the
freshman class of Wabash College, where he
made an industrious and excellent student.
In due time he graduated and for some years
served as tutor in the institution. He sub
sequently removed to Grant county, where
he was admitted to the bar. Later,
he entered the practice of the law at Goshen,
which is now his home. In 1866 he served as
member of the lower house of the Legisla-
ture, and in 1873 was elected Judge of the
Thirty-fourth judicial district, being re-
elected in 1876 without opposition. In 1880
he was nominated and elected Judge of the
State Supreme Court, a position he now
holds
Judge Woods is not yet forty-six years of
age, is in the very prime of his mental
and physical powers and of unusu-
ally fine physique and personal ap
pearance. His ability as a lawyer
and jurist was evidenced by his reelection,
without opposition, to the judgeship of his
home circuit, and it has been extended by
the opinions rendered since he became a
member of the Supreme bench, his decisions
being regarded by the profession as accurate
and well-expressed interpretations of law.
1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to add that Judge
Woods is an earnest Republican,
