THE STRIKE ENDED.
The ROIIing-NilI Hen at Birmingham,

Special to the Appeal

Special to the Appeal
BIRMINGHAM, January 2S.-The striking
rolling-mill mer offered to-day to go to
work at the ccmpany's price, Pittsburg
scale, provided the non-union men who
are operating the mills are discharged.
The company declined the proposal, but
offered to take in the strikers, with few
exceptions, aDng with the non union men.
This is being considered by the strikers.
The offer to AXE the company's prices vir-
tually ends ne strike. The mills ran day
shift to-day except in the plate mill and
one guidemill, and with full crews.
There a very comfortable prospect of
Birmingham having United States courts
before bng. Congressman Hewitt's bill
so providing has already passed the House
and will in all probability pass the Senate.
The ill takes several counties off the
Middle Judicial District of the State and
adds them to the Northern District, and
theT makes two divisions of the latter dis
trio, for which semi-annual sessions OF
bob the District and Circuit Courts shall
bs held in Birmingham and Huntsville
Instead of the courts holding only at the
hitter place as now.
The Board of Trade has sent an invita-
ton to visit Birmingham to the commits
sion appointed by the government to in
vestigate the advisability of a national
foundry. The railroad companies, too, are
taking steps to induce them to come.
The location OF the Birmingham Nine
raj railroad from near Oxmoor, six miles
below here on the Louisville and Nash
vile road, to Sloss Mines, is completed,
and construction work is now going ON
steadily. The road is to be completed,
the contract for construction stipulates, by
May 1st.
The Warrior Coal and Coke Company,
owning about 10000 acres of land contig-
uous to Warrior, up the Louisville and
Nashville road, is ready to begin work, and
expects to be shipping coal by May 1st.

FRENCH LABOR CRISIS.
Minister Feriy's Speech i'm Reply TO
LanglOis's Interpolation.

PARIS, January 2S.-The Chamber of
Deputies to-day debated the Interpolation
offered by Langlois regarding the economi-
cal policy of the government and ques-
tions affecting workingmen. Minister
Ferry said he recognized the gravity of
the labor crisis in Paris. 1t would
be difficult, he thought, to remedy
it. The excess of building had
produced a crisis in the building
trade. 1t would be imprudent to open
new building yards. The government
was considering bill to open a credit for
agriculturists. The crisis was not general,
but confined to Paris. Ferry referred to
the causes which led to the crisis, notably
the rate of wages, which he said was too
high. He thought too great profits
were expected. "We cannot" he said,
"close our frontiers. We export liz 2,000,-
600 francs worth of articles more than we
i'm port. 1t is impossible to exclude for
eign workmen from France, for French.
men are allowed to work in foreign coun-
tries. During the past five years 5000, 900
francs were sp2nt on buildings in Paris for
which it was found difiicult to find
tenants. The continuance OF the folly of
building would be madness. The Cham
Der ought not commence giving aims" l"
The Chamber adjourned until tomorrow,
when Ferry will continue his reply to the
Interpolation.

BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE.

Not Much Probability That IL VIII be
Raised to "a Department. This Season.
Special to the Appeal
WAsHINGToN, January 2S. - Although
the House Committee on Agriculture has
reported favorably the bill making the
Agricultural Bureau a regular Cabinet of
flee, it is not likely it will become law at
this session, the opposition being decided.
4 number of members have already ex-
pressed themselves as being adverse to it.
Senator MaXey to-day reflected the preva-
lent sentiment on the subject when he
said there was no necessity whatever for a
new Cabinet office. He thought the bill
would entail much extra expense upon the
people without any corresponding benefit
to the farming interest. 1t would also es-
Tablish precedent that would have to
be carried out for every other industry.
For instance, manufacturers, miners and
merchants could demand the same recog-
milton as the farmers. Each department"
said the Senator, twas designed by the
trainers oil the constitution to affect the
whole people and not any particular
class, and although several additional de-
partments have been established since the
first administration the original idea still
prevails, for none of the present depart
ments were created TO benefit any par
ticular industry. They simply meet the
growing general demands of the people. /

sible, and agree with Jefferson that agri-
culture, manufactures, commerce and
navigation are the four pillars which up

they thrive best when left to Individual

JESSE MAYNARD.
Plea for Aid for the Victim of the Ffend
AlbrittOn,
Who is at Present i'm the Care of the
5. p. &. A.

Jesse Maynard, the victim of the brutal
boy-roaster, Albritton, is still under the
treatment of DIR. Rogers, who pronounces
him as nearly cured as he will ever be,
and who will discharge him in a day or
two. The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, in whose sole care he
has been, has spent good deal of money
in his behalf, and as it is necessary to
provide for him indefinitely, on account
of his MANNED and helpless condition, the
APPEAL calls upon the charitably inclined
people of Memphis to contribute their
mite to the little fellows relief To this
end subscriptions OF any amount
will be received at the APPEAL
office, and the sum so realized
turned over to the society to be expended
by them. Those who are familiar with
the story of Albritton's horrible crime
will hardly need much persuasion.
He seized the bov in his grasp, and,
placing his knee behind his back and
his hands upon his shoulders, held him in
front of a red-hot fire, in spite of his pitt
ful cries for mercy and his groanssof pain,
anguish and despair, until his stomach,
legs, thighs and other portions of his frail
little body were burned to crisp. He
was then put in bed and covered up, and
the matter kept secret for months, when
it was ferreted out by Inspector Lane. AL
britton was arrested, jumped his bond
was brought back, narrowly escaped lynch
ing, and was finally sentenced to the
workhouse, where he is at present. 1t is
to be hoped that the contributions to the
Jesse Maynard Purse will be an index to
the benevolence of Memphis and speak
ing denunciation of Albritton's brutal
crime.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
To Discuss the Party Policy on Slier-
mans Resolutions.

man. HeSOiutIOns.
WASHINGTON, January 2S.-After the
adjournment of the Senate the Democrat
ic Senators went into caucus to decide the
policy to be pursued in reference to the
Sherman resolutions, calling for an invest
igation of the alleged outrages at elections
in Virginia and Mississippi, and also for
the purpose of considering the selection
of Democratic members of the new Senate
committees. The session, which lasted
about three hours, was mainly devoted to
the first of these subjects. After a full
and general expression of opinion it was
decided that party action should be gov
erned by circumstances when the Sher-
man resolution should come up
for consideration; that the resolution
merely alleged that outrages had been
committed and voters intimidated by Grim
inal violence at elections in two South
ern States. If the Republican Senators in
their remarks upon the resolution should
treat the alleged outrages. as ascertained
and proved facts, should refer to specific
acts OF violence and Intimidation, and
should attempt to charge the Democratic
party with the responsibility of such acts,i
would in the opinion of the caucus, be prop
er and expedient for the Democratic Sen
ators to accept the issue, and enter actively
into debate, shaping their course in ac-
cordance with the drift of the discussion.
This it was conceded would probably lead
to a heated political controversy. If, how
ever, the Republican Senators should not
directly face the issue; il they should con-
fine themselves to the general allegations
of local disorder and violence, and not as
sert that the Democratic party fostered
and encouraged the spirit which gave rise
to such disturbances, it was decided to let
the Republicans have the debate mainly
to themselves

THE HONORED DEAD
The Funeral Services Of the Late Herr
Lasker, at Berlin, Participated
in by Over
Five thousand Pe0ple-The Remains Eel.
lowed to the Grave by an Immense
COneOurse.

BERLIN, January 2S.-The funeral SER
vices over the remains of Herr Lasker, at
the new synagogue to-day, were par
ticipated in by 5000 persons. The interior
of the edifice was suitably draped in
mourning Among those present were
Levetzow and Ackeman, president and
vice-presdent of the Reichstag; former
Ministers Bernuth, Comphausen and De-
brueck, the municipal councillors and
town councillors of Berlin, leading repre-
sentatives of the Conservative and Clerical
parties, Including Windthorst, and repre-
sentatiyes of the University of Ber-
lin. At q o'clock the relatives of the
deceased took their places in front
of the catsfalque. The students officiated
as guard of honor. After the services.
which were accompanied by the organ,
DIR. Frante, chief rabbi, delivered an ora
ton, drawing picture of Lasker's life.
He thanked the brave citizens of the
United States who offered representative
of the German people hospitable and
honorable reception. The choir chanted
a psalm, after which DIR. Frederick Kapp
addressed the assemblage, closing with a
request to be permitted to deposit in the
name and by order OF his party, wreath
on the coffin. In his speech he reviewed
the life of the deceased. At the doors of
the synagogue were stationed the door
keepers and messengers of the Reichstag
and diet, who carried their slaves of office.
After the service in the synagogue, the
body was conveyed to the cemetery, fol-
lowed by a long procession of workmens
and other clubs. AS the coffin was being
let down into the grave the marshals of
the procession lowered their wands and
the banner bearers their flags, and a large
number of persons uncovered their heads
The choir then sang selection of hymns,
and the various clubs defiled and passed
the open grave, depositing wreaths at the
side of the tomb.

Special to the Appeal
WASHINGTON, January 2S.-The two Or
egon Senators have been placed in pecu-
liar position through the discovery by the
Public Lands Committee of the House
that the Oregon Central railroad has no
real or legal existence. Ex-senator Mitch
ell the attorney for the road, in his argu-
ment before the committee against the
forfeiture of the land claimed by the
road, declared that the Oregon Central
Company was a legal corporation in good
standing, having the entire confidence of
the business people of the whole Pacific
coast, and referred to Senators Dolph and
Slater to support his statement. Acting
on an anonymous telegram from New
York, signed Lawyer" the members of
the committee referred to Eighth Oregon
Suppeme Court reports where, in addition
TO the decision declaring the corporation
illegal, as not having complied with con-
tracts made with the State Legislature,
they found that Senator Dolph was the
regularly employed attorney OF the COM
pany at the time, and made the argument
before the court when the adverse decision
was rendered. Senator Slater has also
been employed as a railroad attorney and
knew of the decision of the State Supreme
Court, but neither Senator made any effort
to correct the misstatementS to the com
mittee. A report radically different from
the one made would probably have been
presented to the House had not the mys-
terious but timely telegram been received.
