LABOR TROUBLES.

LoDgshOremen and Italians at War
Along the Brooklyn Docks.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 3.-The labor
troubles between Italians and longshOre-
men, while not resulting in anything Sc
rious as yet, are beginning to assume
serious proportions. The managers of
the boat lines absolutely refuse to IN any
way recognize the longshoremen's union,
while none of the men will accept work
from the boat lines except by order of the
union. AS a consequence many of the
families of the lOngshOremen are in
some cases suffering for want of
food, and the men are beginning to get
desperate. The sight of a body of Ital-
ians is sufficient to set the lOngshoremen
wild, and any luckless Italian who VEN
lures out alone is sure to meet with as
sault. This morning gang of r0ughs as
saulted an inoffensive Italian who was
walking up Lloyd street with two Ioaves
of bread tied up in red bandanna. They
beat him, knocked him down and kicked
him about the head. A crowd collected
Immediately. A number of officers were
summoned to the spot, and the street was
speedily cleared. The assailants of the
italian ran away, and no one appeared to
know who they were,

TRYING THE DYNAMITERs.
Daley, Eagan and MacDOnnell in the
Dock at Birmingham.

Dock at Birmingham.
BIRMINGHAM, May 3.-John Daley,
James Eagan and William MacDOnneu
were arraigned in the Police Court to-day
on the charge of treason felony. Daley was
defiant and MacDonnell detected. Daley
asked why he was brought to Birming-
ham to be tried again after his committaI
on Thursday to await the Chester assizes.
The prosecution replied that after the
charge had been prepared against him at
Liverpool enough evidence had been
brought to light to justify his removal to
birmingham on grayer charges. The
prisoners were closely guarded. netec-
tiYes surrounded them in the court room
and others were posted outside.
The prisoners seemed keenly to feel their
position, especially Eagan, who listened
to the evidence with close attention.
When the detectives described how they
had been tracking Eagan and Daley since
last October the two exchanged signifi-
cant glances. 1t appeared from the evi-
dence that prior to the recent meetings
in the Birmingham town hall, which We're
addressed by the Marquis of Salisbury
and Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, letters were
received by the authorities containing
threats that dynamite bombs would be
thrown under the speakers plat
form. Special precautions were
taken to guard against this.
Daley was arrested shortly before the
Birmingham election campaign of Lord
Randolph Churchill and Col. Burnaby.
1t is believed that the bombs found in his
possession were intended TO be exploded
among campaign gatherings. The prison.
ers were remanded to jail for
another week. Evidence was adduced
which showed that the three prisoners
had been in correspondence with one an
other for several years. 1t was proved
also that Daley and Eagan had often been
travelling together along with Daley's
brother Edmund. Eagan knew Daley as
MacDonnell during his early career. The
correspondence of Eagan with j. Des-
mOnd and James BarnettOf London, John
Morgan of Kidderminster, and J. Stanton
of Walsall, was placed in evidence.

JUSTICE IN COPIAH.
No Change of Venue Necessary in til
Matthew's Mnrdar Case

No Change of Venue Necessary in the
Matthews Murder Case.
NEW ORLEANS, May "a dispatch
from Hazlehurst, Miss, says: ''The Cir
cult Court in Copiah county has been in
session since the 2Sth ult. The grand
jury is composed of the best men in the
county. They have already returned a
number of bills of indictment, among
them bill for murder against the Penn
brothers for the killing of r. B. Rials.
This case has attracted considerable local
attention. 1t is set for trial on Thursday
The grand jury is composed entirely OF
Democrats, including one cOlOred man.
They speedily found an Indictment against
E. b. Wheeler for murder. 1t will
be remembered that on the 9th of Novem-
Der, 1888, Wheeler shot and killed j. =.
Mathews, a prominent Republican and
eX-Sherlff and Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector. Wheeler was forthwith ar
rested, and yesterday was arraigned. In
court he pleaded not guilty. After a long
argument by counsel, the court decided
that the case was not bailable and Wheeler
was sent to Jail. The State then filed an
affidavit signed by three persons, that by
reason of undue prejudice in the public
mind a fair and impartial trial of the
county. This application for a change
of venue Is the first ever made
by the State of Mississippi. Over
100 witnesses were present from all
sections of the county. They were sum-
moned to testify touching allegations in
the affidavit. Only about a dozen were
examined. All except two~swore that
they had no prejudice against the State or
defendant, and hence were competent as
jurors. The defense introduced no wit
nesses, but the court called and examined
a number of representative gentlemen
from the spectators touching questions at
issue. These witnesses declared that a
fair and impartial trial could be
had in the county. The court, in
denying the motion for a change
of venue, remarked that the testi-
mony of witnesses failed to sustain
the assertion, and that in a county con-
tanning 1000 voters, large majority OF
whom were subject to jury duty, the as
sertiOn that twelve unprejudiced men
could not be found was absurd. The trial
of Wheeler was set for Wednesday. There
being but few witnesses in the case, rem.
ders a speedy termination of the trial
probable.

That She Has Been Lost.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Austin, Baldwin
a Co., agents here of the State Line Steam
ship Company, this morning received a
dispatch from Glasgow, showing beyond
doubt that the steamer estate of Florida, .
which left New York for Glasgow on the
18th of April, met with a disaster on her
voyage and was lost. The dispatch to
Baldwin & Co. is as follows:
"The steamer Deven, which left New
York April Is for Bristol. picked up on
April - two lifebOats of the State of
Florida without occupants or gear. A
sailing vessel bound west signaled the
steamer Rome on April %, in latitude 46
degrees and longitude A degrees, that she
had the shipwrecked crew of the State
line steamer on board. The City of Rome
arrived at Liverpool on the 21th from New
York" The State of Florida was of 1900
tons burden and was built at Glasgow in
1879. She was 81 feet long, thirty-eight
feet beam and twenty-eight feet depth OF
hold and was bark rigged.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The Express says
that when the State of Florida had left
this port a rumOr was given currency
that several Of O'DOnOvan ROssa's agents
were on board with dynamite. and that
detectives were awaiting the arrival OF
the steamer at Glasgow to arrest the men,
This news was confirmed by cable from
England. When the vessel became over
due ROssa was interviewed, but said that
he knew nothing of the men who were re-
ported to be on board.
THE SIGNALS.
LONDON, May 3.-The City of Rome
makes the following statements in re-
gard to the signals of the sailing vessel
which she spoke April %: The first sig.
nal was ''ship-wrecked crew." then fol.
lowed two other signals, the first Of
which was supposed to be "State' and
presumed to refer to the State of Florida

ENDING THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Order in Which the Final Speeches will
be Made on the Question.

be Made on the Question.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-In the discus
sion of the tariff bill Tuesday, Mr.. Ran.
dali expects to speak first, Mr. Black
burn second, Mr.. Kasson third, and Mr..
Morrison last.
Speaker Carlisle, Mr.. Morrison and the
other revenue reform leaders have rejected
all offers of compromise made by the
prOtectiOnist Democrats. They have de-
termined to fight it out on the line laid
down by the Ways and Means Committee.
They believe that they will win. They
feel confident that the motion to strike
out the enacting clause will be defeated.
They will hold all the five Republicans
who voted for consideration and they have
gained perhaps a dozen Democrats, losing
none. They think that they can, with the
aid of this majority, keep Objectionable
amendments off the bill, and so carry it
through the House practically unchanged.
The revenue refOrmers are calm and
confident. On the contrary, the prOtec-
tionists are anxious and uneasy. 1t is
now known that Mr.. Randall has been
directing the attempts of the lesser lights
to compromise, although he has not ap-
peared openly in the negotiations. These
offers of compromise were renewed to-
day But they were not considered. The
revenue fetOfmerS LOld the prOtectlOmStS
that they felt no desire to compromise
even If their propositions had been less
abrupt. A compromise was unprece-
dented at such a stage in the proceed
ings and was not necessary. The reye-
nue. reformers will speak very plainly in
the House next week about the secret
methods of the prOtectionist Democrats
in their attempts, first to defeat the bill
and then to procure compromise.

MANY ACRES UNDER WATER.
A California Levee Breaks, Destroying
Half u Million Dollars Worth of Wheat

A California Levee Breaks, Destroying
Half - Million Dollars Worth of Wheat
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 20-A
break in the levee at Roberts Island, near
Stockton, Tuesday night, destroyed $1,000
acres of wheat, valued at $780, The
broken levee was one of the largest on the
island, being one hundred feet wide at the
base, forty at the top, and ten feet high.
Before the break occurred the middle
section of the levee was cut in the hope of
relieving the cross-levee, but the wIter
didn't run off fast enough to take off the
pressure AS the sudden heavy rush of
water swept over the leland on its way
toward the lower section, the immense
fields of tall grain disappeared from sight
and the whole was transformed into one
great lake. The inhabitants quickly hud-
died together what they could carry off in
wagons, seeking refuge on the lower sec
ton. Arrangements will be made to take
them ashore should the lower levee give
way. In the meantime every effort will be
made to strengthen it. Horses and cattle
stampeded in wild fright, breaking across
toward the dry ground of the lower portion.
II the lower ievee breaks the loss will be
fully 81, 900, 900,
