The Plumbers Strike.

A number of the striking plumbers called
upon the GLOBE yesterday and requested that
fair statement of their case be made. The
wages of a competent plumber is 81 per
Gay in this city, whereas in Milwaukee it is
much less. Now the strike grew out of the
discharge of two first class Minneapolis
plumbers, from c. F. Sykes shop, employed
on w. D. Washburn's residence, and
the employment of two in
competent Milwaukee plumbers at
reduced salary. The plumbing in this build
ing is of an unusually fine and intricate
character, requiring the most skillfnl work.
manship. Mr.. Sykes, who is now in the east,
writes that he has examined the plumbing
in Vanderbilt's new residence and pro-
nounces, in comparison, the plumbing of
the Washburn residence far superior. The
plumbing in the latter instance has been
done by the best plumbers in the
city, although under the direction

THE KIEFER-BOYNT0N MUSS.
Little of Interest Developed at the
Inquiry Yesterday.

inquiry eSGeruay.
WASHINGTON, March At the request Of
Coleman, counsel for Keifer, the Keifer-
Boynton commission permitted Charles S.
Garfield to take the stand to make certain
corrections in his previous testimony. In
reply to questions as to whether he had ever
been arrested elsewhere than Indiana, and
whether he had ever been charged with
crime elsewhere, he had replied he had not.
He now wished to change his answer to the
affirmative. CrOss-examined by Boynton,
witness said he had once been arrested on a
charge of giving man named
Smith, counterfeit money, but had been dis
charged. The committee ruled out the ques-
ton by Boynton. as to whether witness had
lady in his family, which went to prove an
alibi. Joseph Turner, banker, Cleveland,
testified to the good character of Garfield in
that city while he resided there. He did not
know Garfeld's reputation in Bryan
Boynton offered to prove that he had moth
ing to do with calling the press meeting on
the morning of March 4th, 1888, that he did
not support the resolution condemning Keif-
er's action, and did not oppose the PROPOSE
lion made by friend of Keifer's, that the
matter should be first investigated.
John B. Mccarthy, journalist, testified that
Boynton had opposed the. resolution con-
demning speaker Keifer.
Charles F. Towle, journalist, testified to
Boynton's voting against the resolution of
condemnation.
Boynton offered to contradict General
Keifer's denial of the accuracy of Barrett's
statement of the interview which took
place between them, Gin which Keifer ex
pressed his contempt for the press" by call

conversation. The committee ruled the offer

the strike, which only includes the fourteen
workmen employed upon the building in
question, and does not interfere in any way
with other shops, the job has been placed in
the hands of Corney's shop. The strikers
claim that had Mr.. Sykes been in the city no
trouble would have resulted. None but
''scabs'' are now working on the job, and the
probability is the work will all have to be
done over, upon the return of Mr.. Sykes.

The Grand Trunk Consolidation.

OTTAWA, March 14.-The Grand Trunk
consolidation bill passed the railway commit
the to-day. Sir Charles Upper said, one OF
the reasons the government asked for delay
in the consolidation was, to ascertain wheth-
er the almalgamation with the Great Western
was legal. The department of justice re-
ported the amalgamation legal, and no furth-
er parliamentary action necessary. An
amendment preventing an amalgamation
with the Canadian Pacific will probably be

Mrs. Pomeroy's Page.

suit? Perhaps you thought he was Maize
Pomeroy's little brother, or something's
people do, sometimes, because Mrs.
Pomeroy always keeps him dressed SO
nicely, and not in "buttonS" either
He isn't the least relation, though; only
her little page; and it's quite story, the
way we found him. I had something to
do with it, you see,-quite good deal in
fact,-for it all came about through an acct
dent that happened to me last summer,
when Lizzie Prior were spending the long
vacation with Maize. Mrs. Pomeroy has
cottage at Long Branch, you know, and
she was kind enough Lizzie and me to go
down with Maize for the holidays.
We were to stop week in New York
before we went to the Branch, just to get
our little fneries together. Maize was
clever with her needle and she had the
idea Of an astonishing bathing dress that
was to take the shine out of everything on
the beach. Lizzie and [ followed her lead
and we were all three up to our eyes in
blue and gray and scarlet fannels,-mak-
ing great litter Of scraps and cuttings,
too,-when Catherine came up stairs, one
morning, with little object of child be-
hind her.
Catharine is the parlor maid, and she
wanted her mistres; but Mrs. Pomeroy
had gone out to buy lot of things we
needed for our work Hercules braid and
smoked pearl buttons, and oiled silk for
caps. Maize asked her was it anything
particular that was wanted, and where an
der the sun had she picked upthat creature
meaning the child, who was the most
ridiculous object you can imagine, and set
us all to laughing at the first glimpse. 1t
was dressed in such an absurd way, with
boys hat on its shaggy head, and boys
jacket, with the sleeves cut off, round its
waist, and under that was girls little
faded cotton frock, 50 short that it hardly
reached the chiId's knees. Its slim bare
arms, and its long pipe-stem legs, made
you think Of a young Shanghai before its
feathers are grown; and altogether there
was such comical look about it that we
couldn't help screaming-though we, are not
50 hard-hearted as to laugh when it hurts
anybody's feelings, I want you to know.
1t didn't hurt this monkey at all. In
fact it seemed as much amused with us as
we were with it; and stared and grinned in
the drollest way while Catherine was ex-
planning that it had come to boo for ,o0.o

While she strokes his shaggy locks, like

Cooling their feet in the melting snow:
