THE REVOLT OF LABOR.

Matters in Statu Quo on the Railways
and at the Mines.
ST. LOUIS, March IL. There was nothing
new in the railroad strike here Wednesday
morning, A committee from Sedalia have
called on the men in the Missouri Pacific
shops but it is understood they got
LITTLE if any, satisfaction 1t is stated that
the men in the Missouri Pacific shops here
have decided not to go out Negotiations
for compromise between the road and the
men are now going on.
Capt. r. s. Hayes senior vice president of
the Missouri Pacific says that out of S35, 900
employees of the Southwestern and Wabash
systems there are not more than 1000 af-
fected by the reduction of wages, which
ranges from to 10 per cent, but still leaves
the earnings Of the men at figure
at which they can live comfortably
The company was ready to pay off the dis
satisfied men, and the fact that some of them
had refused to receive their pay did not
constitute them employees, but only made
creditors of them. The public need not
suffer If the laws were enforced and the
company permitted to run its trains as it
had a right to do.
The men say that the entire Wabash sys-
tom OF railroads has been SO mismanaged
that to bolster up the stock Of one line
the earnings o. another were con
sumed in paying dividends and
meeting expenses. The Missouri
Pacific, for instance, had to
stand the drain created by the Wabash line
to Chicago, and the Wabash line to St Jo-
seph and Omaha The Missouri Pacific is
a ha iuy~ adj ba hint
its employees have had to suffer as many hard
ships as those employed upon the non-psy-
ing lines Wages have been repeatedly re-
duced, and a large percentage has been
held back. Althou5h h the read has been do
ing a prosperous huinsss, its employees
could not get their iul! pay Last summer

Captured.
READING, Pa, March T.. Abe Buzzard,
the Welsh mountain freebooter, had this
place in q fernent OF excitement Tuesday,
but, as usual, he escaped. Buzzard's last
exploit was the robbing of u number of
country stores, including jewelry establish
ment where he AMI his pals secured about
1000 worth Of jewelry. Lippncott, his
eccomplice, was afterward caught and sent
back to Jail to serve a nineteen years SELL
tence. At Slmdown Monday evening Abra-
ham FhCRinger, an old farmer from New
Holland, drove to Reading with load of
produce. He was accosted by stranger,
who asked him if he could ride with him to
this city, to which Flckinger assented. On
the way the Ola farmer told the stranger
that Abe Buzzard was again about and he
had prepared himself, at the same time dis
playing a revolver. The stranger, Bu2zard
himself, commended him for his precaution
Buzzard called at tie Bankers and Mer-
chants telegraph Office and wanted to buy a
ticket to New York He was recognized
and quickly left, making for the depot
The alarm was given, but Abe had dis
appeared. Half an hour later q railroad
hand saw him jump on a passing freight
train at the risk of his life. A telephone
message was sent to Birdsboro, the next
station below Reading, but when the train
arrived there Buzzard was not on it 1t is
supposed that he came to Reading to have a
talk with Bill Weedcr, one of his gang, now
in jail, whose term will soon expire 1t is
supposed that he had communication with
him during the night.

present Counsel for Gen. Hazan challenged
Gen Macfeely on account of an old personal,
and official controversy calculated to bias
him against the accused. Gen. Macfeely
was excused. The charges and specifications
were then read and plea of not guilty en-
tered us to each.
The three specifications alege three acts OF
disrepect and insubordination, the first being
statements in Gen. Hazen's official report,
questioning the propriety of the secretary's
refusal to authorize q second expedition
for the relief Of Greely in 1888; the second
that he made these and other criticisms in a
letter written to the secretary; the third is
that he furnished for newspaper publication
information concerning these criticisms,
Counsel for Gen. Hazen asked that the first
two be ignored as irrelevant to the charges.
After argument the specifications were sus
tained, and the court al journed.

Inere Is one matter in which Paris 10

ane increase OF clubs where bachelors
una a house dinner at a moderate price
mas deprived the high-class restaurants
OF a considerable number of customers
whose place has been taken by foreign
CTS. Now, the foreigner is looked UP
on IN most countries as legitimate prev.
and experience has shown the Partisan
restaurant-keeper that the foreigner is
generally willing to pay dear for poor
1ooo served with a certain luxury of
accessories. Another large element in
the customers of the restaurants is la
haute noce-that is to a y the Young
men who waste their substance on
picturesque young ladies. These young
men are not gourmets, and when they
order dinners in those private rooms
which every Partisan restaurant must
have they otten regard the divan as
the plat de resistance. The gourmet is
rare, good cooks are rare, and, how
ever regardless one may be of expense,
l do not know a single restaurant in
modern Paris where you may go un-
announced and be absolutely sure OF
having a delicate and faultless dinner.
This statement may seem to be sweep

days, both in restaurants and in private
houses, with very rare exceptions, is
lacking in imagination; the carte is
everywhere, and you feel that you are
in the hands of a cook who has studied
a couple of years, mastered a dozen
recipes, and then takes a place as chef.
Formerly, in the classical days OF
French cooking, a chef would study
fifteen or twenty years before he would
venture to preside over the saucepans
OF a grand seigneur OF of a renowned
restaurant. AS for the restaurants OF
the Champs Elysees-the famous Am
b%assadeurs, Ledoven's and Laurent's-

the cooking there is mediocre, the ser.
vice very bad, and the prices are cal
culated with a view to making rapid
fortunes on q basis of large profits.
Then where can one dine in Paris?
do not know. There are perhaps q
dozen private houses where you car
dine delicately on real meat and fish,
prepared according to the precepts o.
the classical French cuisine, but every.
body a not penetrate these sanctu'
aries of art. The gourmet's occupation
is gone in Paris if he is condemned te
eat in restaurants; he can rarely hope
to dine; he must be content to Absorb
