Now that the telegraphers have fairly
make good sheir threat of a general
strike in case their claims were not re-
cognized, the contest reduces itself to one
of endurance. 1t would appear that the
number of striking operators is not as
large as was anticipated. 1t may be
that their strength may be largely recruit
ed as the strike progresses, but the
probabilities are the other wav. If the
company can make out for a few days
with the help available the strike will
probably collapse, unless the strikers re-
ceive material backing from sympathi-
zers. Public opinion seems to be with the
operators, but the YeXatiOns of pro-
lOnged interruption Of business are likely
to work a revolution in sentiment.
The history of labor revolts shows
that as a rule the strikers come off the
worse in prolonged contest. The issue
of the present struggle, however, can be
better judged of by observing the events
of the next twenty-fOur hours.

The Republican National Committee
will not, Of course, think of settling the
question of the place of holding their next
national convention until Deacon Richard
Smith is heard from. The good deacon
has expressed no preference yet. He has
simply said that he ''didn't want the con-
vention held in a small town in small
hall.' This is enough from the deacon at
present. Later he will have something
further to say.

WASHINGTON.
No Stock Taken In the Presidential
Scandal,
Which Only One Paper in the United
States Would Publish as a matter of
News-A Probable Suit
for Slander.
GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES
Snscial DisDa,ek 10 t6e Reoi,t,.r.

Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, February 19.-The general
opinion of the better class OF correspond
ents and newspaper men here is that the
scandalous story about the President is
entirely false, and the publication OF it as
a matter of news, a reproach upon journ-
slism. The story was sent to the st. Louis
Globe. Democrat the Philadelphia Times
and the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the latter OF
which published it, but the former two
papers did not use it. 1t is rumored that
the husband of the lady, high State De-
partment official, whose fair name is thus
brought into dishonor and i'll repute means
to proceed against the paper that has in
jured him so foully.
In the Senate to-day, Beck. OF Kentucky,
served notice on Sherman, OF Ohio, that if
the latter persisted in forcing his iron and
steel amendments to the Tariff bill that the
whole Democratic side will open the flood
gates Of debate on numberless amendments
TO perfect the bill. He proclaimed that the
Democrats would vote for the bill as it
stands without further amendments.
If" he exclaimed, gentlemen on the
other side want to kill this bill, they can
amend it as they please; let them kill it
and take the responsibility" He pointed
out that the amendment increased the duty
on steelyalued at 4c to sc per pound, Sll 20
per ton above existing rates. The increase
in the higher grades was $lG.8O per ton,
this made the schedule just what the iron
masters desired, so that it could pass the
House without the crossing of a ''t' or the
dotting of an IL"

The regular Monday morning call for

acter. Among the bills introduced were

enue upon all imports into the United
States. 1t provides for horizontal reduc-
tion of Is per cent. after July /, 1888.

tribution of the surplus revenues in the

THE IRON TRADE.
No Trouble Expected Among the Pitts.
burg Manufacturers.

PITTSBURGH, February 19.-Eastern finaH-
cial agents have been circulating reports
among their patrons saying that trouble
is impending among Pittsburg iron manu-
facturers." Just how much truth is in the
report could net be determined in series
of interviews on Saturday, for if there are
any manufacturers in the city who know
of the impending trouble they could
not be found, or would not confess
the knowledge. 1t is true now,
as il has been for some months
past, that there is an uncertainty in trade
that Pittsburg manufacturers are not &C
customed to. Most of the mills are max
ing less than full time, and that, too, on
single turn. Orders come in slowly, but
business is usually cash. Oliver Bros u
Philips Fifteenth street mill, which has
been stopped for lack Of immediate orders
for some time, was prepared last week for
a start to-day. The Manchester Steel and
Iron Company's Superior rail mill, which
was stopped a few days ago that a
portion OF its management might
be enabled to meet private obligations
incurred in another enterprise which
drew heavily upon their working capital,
will start up this week. Its affairs have
been satisfactorily settled and the creditor
satisfied. The Edgar Thompson Steel
Works at Braddocks have been running
short for quite while, but on wednesday
last concluded contract with the Wanda
liza Line Company fer 10000 tons OF steel
rails. They are TO be delivered between
March and August /, and will require the
works to be run at full capacity for while.
The price, over $4l per ton, will afford
moderate profit,

The JEANETTE REPORT.
A Review of the IIl-Fatell Voyage -
Commander he Long Fully Justified.


WASHINGTON, February 19.-The jean
nette Board of Inquiry has submitted its
report to the Secretary OF the Navy. The
Board finds that the Jeannette formerly
the PandOra) was a staunch vessel, al
though her model was not specially adopt
ed to such service. The delay caused by
her want of speed and her search along
the Siberian coast for the Swedish explor-
ing ship Vega put her commander at great
disadvantage when be encountered the
pack ice early in September in the vicinity
of Herald Island. He was obliged either
TO return to some port to the southWard
and pass the winter or II force his way
through the ice to Wrangel Land. The
Board justitieS him in accepting the latter
alternative.
The narrative of events as given by the
report has heretofore been published. Ihe
skill, prudence and foresight OF Command
er De Long in meeting emergencies, IN
maintaining discipline, and enforcing reg
ulations for preserving the health OF the oil,
ficers and men are highly commended, and
his general course is deemed to have oeen
proper under the existing circumstances.
Lieutenant DanenhOwer IS especially COM
mended for the part he took IN navigating
the whale boat, in which the Melville par
" finally reached the Siberian coast. ,
The board further says: There is conolui
siye evidence that, aside from trivial dlfi-
culties. such as occur on shipboard even
upder the most favorable circumstances,
and which had no influence in bringing
about the disaster of the expedition ana no
perpicious effect upon its general conduct,
every officer and man so conducted hlm'
self that the court finds NJ occasion to inn
pute censure to any member OF the party,

RERDELL'S TESTIMONY.
How Dorsey Called the Witness n
TraitOr-Iuteresting kilograms.

WASHINGTON, February l9-Thc twelfth
week of the Star route trial opened this
morning with Rerdell on the stand. He
continued his alleged confession Of the
Star Route conspiracy. The witness, after
correcting his printed evidence in some
material points, detailed a conversation he
overheard between S. w. Dorsey and A.
W. Moore, at the house of the former in
this city, in the spring of 1878. The con-
versation was had in reference to mail let
tings in California and Oregon. A tabulated
statement the witness said was produced
with the number OF the routes, the termini,
the percentage, and one column was mark
eI: IT. J. B., percentage 33H per cent"
The witness then said he went TO New
York after the books containing this state
ment at the request Of Postmaster General
James, and when he met Dorsey there he
was called a traitor. The Senator was very
much excited, and the witness said he, too,
went of in huR, and proceeding to Mr..
DOrsey's office took q book. He went TO
Jersey City and telegraphed Senator Dor
Sey as follows: The affidavit story is a
lie Confidence between us is gone. | re-
sign my position, aud will turn everything
over to any one you Designate The fol-
lowing was erased To this moment have
been faithful TO every trust In reply
10 this witness received two kilograms
while on the train returning TO Washing
ton. After his return TO this city he said
he received letter from Dorsey recalling
the interview at the Albermarl Hotel IN
New York, in which letter Senator Dorsey
pleaded for "the sake of nv wife and
children" the sacred relations that existed
between Us, TO do nothing, and for God, 8
sake take nostep till you hear from me"
Later the witness had an interview with
Senator Dorsey here, and he promised Mr..
Dorsey that he would make an affidavit
retracting his McYesgh James affidavit.
This he did and the affidavit was taken to
the President by Col. Ingersoll, Senator
Dorsey and the witness.

LOST OPPORTUNITY.
The Republicans TO Go Ont Of Power
without Tightening the Burden OF
IaNaIinn.

WASHINGTON, February 19.-There are a
few Republicans leaders who realize that
the party in Congress, by adjourning with
out repeating the internal tax, will make
great mistake, and thereby, some think,
neutralize any advantage expected from
their management OF the tariff question.
The Ways and Means Committee nave
from the start refused to consider the
question favorably, although influential
members have tried to have them do so re-
peatedly, as the right end to begin at in
considering the revenue question. Judge
Kelley makes no disguise of his views on
the subject, and freely declares that the
golden opportunity has been suffered to
pass unimprOved.
Robson, Keifer, Page & Co. have been
too intent on obtaining appropriations to
pay attention to the cry OF the people
Tor relief from taxation. The present
Congress was constituted and organized
chiefly for raids on the Treasury,
not for considering the wants OF the
country. Although no time can be found
to repeal the odIous and unnecessary war
taxes, there is plenty to pass seven mill
ion harbor and river appropriation bill,
which is demanded by no public necessity,
and TO vote away the public money by the
tens of millions at the beck OF Chandler,
Robson and Roach, and other combina-
tions for pluuder, to say nothing OF the in
iquities lurking in the various other appro-
priation bills. Thank heaven, this Con-
gress has scarcely two weeks longer to raw
age the country. The general belief is that
there will be no extra session.

AN INSANE MOTHERS ACT.
She Ties Her Child i'm u BnndIe and
Throws IL Into the Water.

BUFFALO, February 19.-Mrs. Cottier, the
wife of Alonzo L. Cottier, an employe Of
an insurance firm here, went to the Police
headquarters late Friday night and con-
fessed to the Superintendent that she had
murdered her child, a little girl of eight
months. She said she administered chloro-
form to it Friday morning and in the
afternoon took it and started for Fort
Erie. While on the ferry boat crossing
from Black Rock, she dropped the child
overheard having first tied an axe to
the buudle so that it would sink. The
woman's story was doubted and the Super
intendent thought she showed signs of in
sanity. An investigation shows that the
child is missing; that Mrs. Cottler crossed
the ferry Friday afternoon as she states,
and that while crossing she was seen to
drop bundle overheard. A hope s still
entertained that she has hidden the child
somewhere. and that it is still alive, though
the mother evidently believes she has
killed it. The only ground for the hope
is her mental condition. Inquiry is to be
made as to this by commission appoint
ed this morning by County Judge Ham.
mond, aud the doctors who have examined
her say there is no doubt that she is insane.
She will probably be committed to the
State asylum.

The Iron Mountain and Texas and st;

A COURT SCENE
Enacted to Create Sympathy for
the Prisoner.
The Daughter Of Joseph Paul Who Is on lrl'

Room at Parkersburg, and
Father and Daughter
EMBRACE IN AN AFFECTING MANNER.
Special Dispatch 10 The Register.

Special DI$pdtch 10 ue hegIStT.
PARKERsBURG, February 19.-The trial OF
James Paul for the murder of Ruben Mar
quise was commenced in the Circuit Court
and promises to be the most exciting ever
witnessed in Wood county. Paul and
Marauise were both well-known citizens OF
this county and for many years intimate
friends, but Paul claims Marquise proved
unworthy of his friendship and seduced his
(Pauls) wife, broke up the family circle
ard brought disgrace upon his children.
The faithless wife and Marquise came to
Parkersburg, where they were followed by
Paul. The bloody scene which occurred
here on the sixteenth of last May is stiii
fresh in the minds of our citizens. Mar
quise endeavored to escape the fury OF
Paul by fight, but was oyertaken, shot
down like dog and died. 1t was regarded
as a cold. blooded murder.
Feeling Against Paul
was very bitter, but passion has cooled OIL
and he will have fair trial. One OF the
best juries ever empaneled in this county
was sworn to-day, the law given, the prose-
cution and defense outlined by the attor-
news in the case. Col. Mcclure opened for
the State and was followed by Jno. A.
Hutchinson for the prisoner. c. I. Cald-
well, who assists Col. Mcclure by request,
closed. The Jury was taken in charge by
officers until tomorrow morning, when
the first witness will be called for the State:
Fifty.fye witnesses have been summoned
for the State and twenty-five Tor the de-
fense. The eminent array Of counsel for
the defense includes Hutchinson and Van
dervoorf, Loomis and Lavender, and Geo.
w. Meals, States Attorney ]. e. McLure,
assisted by C. T. Caldwell. Paul is attend
ed by two brothers from Pittsburgh, has
three children, one of whom a daughter
of eighteen, entered the court room to-day
AT a very opportune time to become an ac-
tor in
which a great many think was set especi-
ally for the occasion. While il was clearly
enacted, it did not produce the effect an
ticipated. As the daughter entered the
bar and approached the prisoner, he Sprang
from his chair, and father and daughter
were clasped in an affectionate embrace,
but the spectators looked calmly upon the
scene enacted for the purpose OF creating
sympathy in behalf of the prisoner. The
results were not as anticipated. The court
gave the counsel to understand that il the
scene was enacted with a view to creating
sympathy, that the
Cartafn Must Fall
and the sheriff was ordered to seat the
prisoner, and Counsellor Hutchinson fin
ished his speech, which had been inter
rupted by the scene as related.
l.. n. Tavenner was appointed by the
Court stenographer and will take the evil
dence as the trial progresses. The court
room was crowded all day, standing room
being at a premium. Owing to the large
number of witnesses and circumstances
surrounding the case it will probably be
ten DAYS before the trial is ended.
