The great rolling mill strike, involving
1,5O0 men in the five largest establishments,
of Philadelphia, Pa, was settled in
favor of the employees. The terms upon
which the men returned to work involve the
concession Of the cent minimum card rate
as the basis of wages. The adoption of this
scale gives the iron workers an advance of
20 cents per ton. By the terms of settle
ment when the selling price of bar iron
drops below 2 cents per pound there will be
no reduction IN wages but for every Ito of a
cent advance or reduction in the selling
price from that basis, there will be CORES
pOnding increase or reduction in the wages
of the iron workers.
A dispatch from Kingman, Kansas, says:
Heavy rains have fallen at Kingman after
nearly three weeks or dry weather. This
whole county, as we'll as Pratt and Reno
counties, were visited with the best rain in a
year. Corn in the eastern half of this
county has been injured perhaps % per cent
by the drouth but this rain insures an aver
age of about 80 per cent. of full crop for
the county. Wheat yielded over half crop.
Oats are nearly a full crop. The rain raised
the Minnesota river at this point nearly as
high as during the great floods of April, 1886.
Considerable damage Is reported to the rev
bridges and embankments of the K, p d
w. railroad, now building west from here.
Lincoln Sprols, q white man, and Calvin
Jones negro, were hanged at Fort Smith,
Ark, for murders committed in the Indian
Territory. Sprols killed Benjamin f.
Clark, a white man, and his fourteen year
old boy, Alex Clarke, near Pane's Valley, in
the Chlckasaw nation, on the 25th day of
May, 1896. He and Clarke had difficulty,
and on the day of the killing when Clarke
and boy went to White Bead Hill with a
wagon after supplies, Sprols conc lied him
self near the road in the bushes, and
when they returned, fired and MORALLY
wounded Benjamin Clarke, with his Win
chester rife. The noise caused Clarke's
horse to run away. Alexander Clarke jumped
out to catch the horses, when Sprols shot
and killed him also.
Senior MOndrego, the chief of police of
Puedras Viegras Mexico, made demand
upon the authorities of Eagle Pass, Texas,
for the body of Francisco Rasures, whom he
charged with being horse thief. Deputy
| Sheriff Dias arrested Rasures and took him
before the county Judge, who signed extradi-
ton papers without giving the accused a
hearing, and the deputy sheriff delivered
| him to the Mexican authorities. Rasures is
a naturaliZed citizen, and he has appealed to
United States Consul Lynn for protection.
| Consul Lynn has demanded the release OF
the prisoner and his return to Eagle Pass
| for trial for the offense alleged. MondregO
reports that the case has been transferred to
the higher courts, and that he could do
nothing. This is a clear case of kidnapping
! and the facts have been reported to the state
department at Washington aHd to Governor
Ireland, of Texas. News has been received
here that Rasures was taken two miles
below Puedras Viegras, and by order of the
trouble is brewing IN Mexico and that rev.
olution is liable to break out at any moment.
Large quantities of carteidges and ammuni-
ton are stored here consigned to a promi-
nent firm in Puedras Viegras.
Stephen Broder, a bootblack % years old,
of New York City, jumped from the Brook
Ign bridge at the center span into the East
river. He was fished out and taken to the
police station, apparently uninjured. Broder
was at one time newsboy and later pedes-
trian. Some time ago he went on free
booting expedition to South America. A
wagon was noticed passing over the bridge
with two men riding on it. Something
| about one OF the men attracted the notice of
the Police Officer Lally, and he watched the
wagon as it went on. When about 100 feet
east of the New York tower, one of the men
stood up took his coat off, looked around
and said to the driver, "Well, here goes for
luck" and stepped from the wagon to the
rail. Without hesitation a second he Jumped
off. The man fell down straight to the
water, 120 feet below, striking in a bunch,
but with his feet first. He sank from sight
and reappeared a moment later with both
hands at his chest as if in pain. A skiff
which was near at hand rapidly came up and
the occupants took the man in thr boat and
pulled to the foot of Dover street and landed.
In the meantime three bridge police had
run around and down to the pier. They ar
rested him. He did not seem to be much
injured by the terrible fall, and walked
along without any assistance, followed by q
mob of cheering boys and men.
A dispatch from FL Paso, Texas, says:
Paso Del Norte is full of Mexican soldiers.
Although heavy reinforcements are an
nounced as on the way from Chihuahua,
they have not yet arrived. The state de-
partment at Washington is kept fully advised
of all military movements the Mexicans may
undertake. Senator Manuel Rincen, private
secretary of the governor of Chihuahua,
called on Consul Brigham, and assured him
of his regard and friendship. He said the
troops had been sent to Paso Del Mort
merely as a precautionary movement, ana
if the excitement did not increase no more
would be sent. He was astonished that
Cutting refused to accept bail when offered
as that would not have prejudiced his case
at all. Consul Brigham replied that Cutting
had done right. That his case Wa not be-
yond the reach of petit courts OF the state.
1t was a question between the two nations.
There is evidently hitch in the negotiations
