CHICAGO, ILL.,, April S.-The Bricklay.
ers' Union decided this morning to go out
on strike, the cause being u reiusal Of the
Master Alasons' and Builders' Association
to pay an advance from s. 50 to 81 day.
About 4, 900 bricklayers Joined in the strike,
which, as the season for building has just
begun, promises to be a very formidable
one. The increase in wages was demand.
ed In January and was refused. The
builders association claims to be! unable
to make 81 basis of pay, as that
means from so cents TO 81 more for the
better class Of workman. The ebficklayers,
on the other hand, say that wages In other
cities and all points In the Northeast are
81 and over, and living expenses are gen.
orally higher here than elsewhere They
say that they will remain firm and that the
bosses must yield. OF course the stoppage
Of work by the bricklayers throws out q
rgenumber Of other workmen, princi!
paily carpenters and common aborers.
The workmen expect an early termination
OF the strike and that the bosses will soon
be forced to accede to their demands.
New HAVEN, CosN., April S-Employers
have acceded to the demands Of the brick
layers for S3.75 a day, with the under.
standing that in case the men work only
nine hours Saturdays they will lose one
hours pay. The men have agreed, and
will work only nine hours Saturdays. 80

GaardlsE LsaInst Dynamits-The Precautions
Taken In London to Prevent the Infernai
haehias man from Getting In hi, Work.
Notes from the COatinsnt

LONDON, April 3.-The war office has
taken the question OF explosives in hand
with vigor and determination. Among
other measures taken for the purpose OF
thwarting dynamite workers, 1t has ordered
that experiments be undertaken with
view to preparing an analysis Of the various
forms and component parts Of all SUBJ
stances that are capable OF being employed
as explosives. The result OF their work
will be given to the police, and It is believed
the ingenuity OF the men who are now
engaged in the manufacture and use Of
these diabolc contrivances will be thwarted
by this means.
On account Of the steady stream OF let.
ters containing threats Of death and de.
struction Of buildings which continue to
be received by prominent persons and
government functionaries, the previous
precautions against the execution Of those
threats are not remitted, but new ones are
also being devised and carried out. This
Is particularly the case in London. The
gas works are carefully guarded against
surprises, and none but known and trusted
hands are allowed on the premises.

LONDON, April s.-AIinister Lowell, in
speech at the Lord Mayors Banquet last
night, said he had from time to time read
sensational statements in newspapers pur-
porting to give the instructions he had re-
ceived from his Government and words he
had spoken on diplomatic questions. He
would say these prophesies were like those
Of the Prophet Virgins. He should in
spite OF them continue 10 believe that the
good relations now existing between Great
Britain and the United States would be
enduring. Certainly nothing that he
could do would tend to lessen their friendly
character.

LONDON, April S.-There Is unwonted
excitement in the rice market. A firm
prominent in the trade, which has extern
sive agencies in Burmah, some time since
made considerable sales Of rice to arrive,
in the expectation Of getting supplies from
natiyesources, and securing a large tonnage
for England. The natives held of their
supplies, probably on account Of being ad-
vised OF the state Of the oversold English
market, and large purchases had 10 be
made in the open market here for the pur-
pose Of fulfilling contracts. Rangoon rice
has risen ten per cent within the past week
as a consequence OF the failures expected
in the trade.

report that vicious riots occurred lately
