It is claimed by Mr. Sherman that while the cost of this new metal is about the same as that of the ordinary iron line wire now used for tele graphic and telephonic purposes, yet it's con- ductivity is far superior to that of iron, This claim seems to be justified by the tests made thus far.

Vienna Left Without Bread.

Vienna Left Without Bread.
 VIENNA, May 6.-The representatives of over three thousand bakers met in the Verien Hall on the Angasse this afternoon and finally agreed to carry on the strike which has been going on for something more than fortnight. This action was not taken without dispute, many of the bakers being alarmed by the pressure of the people who got white bread only with difficulty and at an increased cost, and by the strange attitude of the government in bringing from all parts of the empire nearly one thousand expert military bakers and of the confectioners who have been induced to agree to turn out certain fine grades of roles and sweet bread. As the price of bread is regulated by law &C., cording to weight and finances, it cannot be increased directly, but indirectly it is greatly exaggerated by the difficulty of procuring it, the middlemen and not the makers getting the profit, the employing bakers actually suffering losses in trade and in the difficulty of securing compe tent work men. There is an exceedingly angry feelin g existing which may at any moment result in renewal of the riotous attempts of Friday and yesterday. These outbreaks are un- oubtedlY aided and abetted Intentionally by the SOC1al1SG elem m60tS or EArlOuS SOEtS TOT their own purposes. Resolutions were passed to-day condemning the action of the government in aiding the employing bakers by giving them skilled assistance from the army posts, claim ing that their claims were just and could be easily enforced if they were allowed alone to settle with their employers. The journey mems demand are not light. They want an increase of B per cent. in wages, reduction of 20 per cent in hours of work and better food and lodging. The bake-houses are also claimed to be unwholesome and ill-ventilated. Several speeches made during the meeting were by members of the union who are open ly connected with the socialistic organiza- tiops

Desperate COnvicts-Thetr Leader Beaten
 Down by Keeper.
 MONTREAL, May 6.-At the St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary yesterday F. A. Leblanc, 8 highwayman assisted by four other convicts whom he released by means of skeleton keys, overpowered their guard, tied him hand and foot and gagged him. Leblanc then un, dressed the keeper, donned his garments and took charge of his revolver. At midnight when two other keepers commenced their rounds the five desperadoes attacked them. Leblanc held his revolver at the head of Convrette, one of the keepers, and demanded his surrender. The next instant heavy pad lock in the hands of Gadbois. the second keeper, crashed into the skull of Leblanc and he fell. with his death wound, never speaking 8 word. The others were quickly overpow- cred and the keepers found Rodgers, the keeper who had been bound and gagged, just in time to save him from death by strangula. ton. The intention of the convicts was to hberate all the prisoners had they captured Convrette and Gadbois.

 NEW YORK, May 6.-The news of Mir. Van- derbilt's retirement from the presidency of his three great railroads, while not great surprise, created considerable of futter in business circles His trip to Europe is not for health, but because. in his words, he likes to be upon the sea. As to his manage ment of the roads he said in answer to ques- tion: ssAIl the talk about my having disposed of my interest in them is nonsense. The controlling interest still remains'i 'in my hands or in that of my family, and, it is my impres- sion, will continue to remain there. The ad- vancement of the gentlemen now holding po- sitions was simply on account of merit and because it was believed that they were pos sessed of talents that could safely be given 8 wider scope I believe that the interests with which they are intrusted will be ably managed and will be just as successful as they have been in past years"

Blood on the Moon-Irtsh Leaders Guar relIng About the Convention Methods. CHICAGO, May 6.-Alexander Sullivan, president of the new Irish national league, l having in recent interview sarcastically re- ferred to the attitude of Congressman John F. Finnerty in the Philadelphia convention that gentleman to day gives to the public 8 caustic reply. He charges that the conven- tion was guilty of gross injustice in refusing him hearing on his Irish immigrant ques- tion; comments upon the fact that the chair man, Congressman Foran, had the eyes of 8 lynx for Roland of Louisville, Armstrong of Georgia, Brown of St. Louis, Sullivan of Chi cago and others of that ilk, but was more purblind than a constitutional Albanian where the other side desired recognition. He denounces his treatment as rude and unrea- sonabIe on account of his personal indepen- dence and goes on to say: 'Tt is some what significant that most of the eastern pa pers held me up as the leader of the terror ists or the reactionists.' Surely neither Americans or British could have been inspir- ed by supernatural power thus to misrep- resent me. It now makes little matter whence the inspiration came or by what methods it was made effective. I found myself in the Philadelphia con vention confronted on one side by the suspicion of the Irish conservative element and on the other by the awkwardly concealed hostility of the delegates who considered that should have swallowed the political medicine prescribed for me by the eminent directors of the gathering without making long faces or in any way showing that I pre- sumed to possess soul of my own. I have never sought, shall never seek to control the national sentiments of my fellow countrymen for personal advance ment Manipulation may be most effective, but it certainly is not the most honorable of patriotic or political meth ods Justice to myself and others compels me to say that the Philadelphia convention WIS not conducted on free and courteous principles. The floor was chiefly occupied by a mutual admiration society, the mean CT planets of the artificial constellation re- volving slavishly around the mysterious sun that gave at least temporary life to their ex- otie system"
 The significance of this publication lies in the fact that in the Irish circles today it is unanimously accepted as a declaration that the Finnerty Irish element have nothing in common with the new league. Others con slider it as throwing down the gage of bat tie to the Sullivan faction and prophecy that there is blood on the face of the moon. Be this as it may it is certain the letter has been productive of the greatest excitement in Irish circles to-day.

 while under religious delirium, for the re. lease of Freeman on bail, on the ground that he is now a sane man.

He stated that if the Attorney General after further ex- animation of the case should see fit to nolle pros. the indictment the court would acqui- esce. If, however, the case was passed for trial a special sessions would be convened for that purpose at Barnstable.
