announcing his disapproval of twcnt,
private pension bills and the bill providing
for the erection of a public building a
Duluth, MINI. The last named bull il
vetoed, the president says, because he il
entirely satisfied that the building pro
vided for is not Immediately necessary,
and he adds that mot a little Legislation
has lately been perfected and very likely
more will be necessary to increase miscal
culated appropriations for, and to correct
blunders in the construction in many OF
the public buildings now in process OF
erection"
Lewis w. Scanland filed his declaration
for a pension in 1884, alleging that he
contracted chronic diarrh9a in the Black
Hawk war. The records show that
he served from April IS, 1882, to
May %, 1892. In vetoing the bill for his
relief the president says: lam inclined

The Chicago Shoe Boycott.


CHICAGO, March 10.-Mr. MacFarland, of NJ.
D. Wells & Co., boot and shoe manufacturers,
was asked what action his house would take in
view of the raising Of the boycott against the
three firms mentioned in these dispatches last
evening He said he was greatly surprised at
the turn matters had taken. He was not pre-
pared to express an opinion on the matter. or to
say what his house would do. No one had ap-
preached him on the subject, and he had, there
FORE no opportunity to agree or disagree with
the Knights. Mr. Q. NJ. Henderson, of Hender-
son & Co., said: eve would willingly have
gone in with the others in this thing, but moth
ing was said about it. We were not invited to
the conference do not know the reason. We
always had prejudice against convict labor,
and did not begin to employ it until about three
years ago. One of our convict labor contracts
expires in a year and half, and we have no in
tention of renewing it. We cannot throw up
our contracts at once without the consent of the
Pennsylvania and Missouri State authorities,
with whom they are made. If we can cancel
them before they expire, we are willing to
do So"
George RODGERS, chairman of the Knights Of
Labor executive committee, which took part in
the settlement, said that circular to all the as
semblies in the country would be issued, raising
the boycott on the firms that signed the agree

people Of Aran to distribute relief furnished by
an organization of the Irish police His funds
ran short to-day and he still had so much pitia-
BILE wretchedness to relieve that he appealed to
Mr. Busy, who is charged with the distribution
of the fund raised in America through the
New York Sun for the impoverished fishermen
of Boffn Island, and begged hip TO divert part Of
his store for the benefit Of the Aranese. This
Mr. Busy was permitted to do, and he reported
that in order to save the lives of scores of peo-
pie now dying of starvation, it is imperative that
relief on a large scale be at once organized.

PIrrsBURG, Pa March 10-A convention of

citation Of the Fourth district is now in session
at Dubois, Pa, considering a proposal to de-
mand an advance in wages of 12a cents per ton,
and to adopt measures to introduce the eight
hour per day system. The delegates generally
favor making the demand, and assert that if it
is refused, they will strike They will use every
sorting to this method, and have addressed a
circular to the operators inviting them to meet

factorily to all parties About four thousand
miners are employed in the Fourth district A

CONGRESSMAN LOWRY.
The Gravity Of the Political Situation Calls
Him from the Capital to Fort Wayne.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FoRT WAYNE March 10. 10.-CongressmanILow
arrived at home tonight His coming was not ex-
pected until within the past day or two. It is
given out that he Is here to attend to important
litigation in the courts. The better opinion is,
however, that this is a mere pretext, and that
the gravity of the political situation is what
really calls him to Fort Wayne. It is no longer
to be doubted that the opposition to the Judges
denomination is growing very formidable, and
his friends are getting grievously alarmed over
his prospects for third term. There is the
best reason for believing that Mr.. Lowry's sud-
den advent here is for consultation, with view
to the better defense and preservation of his
fences A conference of the Judges followers
will be held in this city tomorrow. It seems
pretty well settled that the Democratic con-
gressional convention will be held about April
10. ThiS Is supposed to be in the interest of
Judge Lowry. whose henchmen appear to think
that an early date will be an advantage gained
The present committee is composed largely of
the Judges partisans.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
SHOALS, Ind, March 10-The triple hanging
last night has left the town in high state of ex-
element. The firing Of pistols as the mob left
town aroused the peaceful citizens from their
siumbers to witness the sight in the courtyard.
The ringing Of the courthouse Dell Immediately
after the execution Of the murderers aroused the
house yard has been crowded with persons eager
to get glimpse of the dead men suspended in
mid air with hempen cords attached to limbs
above. Every train came loaded with persons
from adjoining towns The coroner was called
on by the sheriff last night to.investigate the
matter, but he deferred doing SO. He
placed several guards on duty to
remain during the night. At 1:30 this morning
the word was given to cut the ropes and lower
the lifeless forms. The ropes had scarcely been
removed before the relic-hunters had slashed
them into remnants, every one being eager to
get piece Of one of the ropes which choked the
life from the victims. The dead men were laid
out and their relatives notified The coroner
held an inquest in the evening, bringing in ver-
diet Of death by hanging at the hands of parties
whose names are unknown.
All day long the streets have been crowded by
persons vending their way to the Jail and court
yard to visit the cells in which the Archers were
fast confined. This is the first hanging, either
legal or otherwise. that has ever taken place
within the limits of the county.

The Rumored Strike at Chicaro.

CHICAGO, March 10.-A dispatch from St

Chicago & Northwestern. and other Chicago rail
roads, would strike at o'clock this afternoon
Mr.. G. c. Wheeler, the general superintendent
of the Chicago g. Northwestern road, said that
as far as he knew there was no trouble between
the company and the employees. and that he was
as sure that there would be no strike at p NJ
as he was that the sun would not set at that
hour. A switchman said that the employees had
some little grievance against the company, but
they had ali been satisfactorily settled, and, as
far as he knew, there would be no strike. One
of the engineers said he was sure that the enei-
neers and firemen would not leave their work
before the usual hour today, and he did not
think there was any strike imminent
The st. Louis dispatch was generally discred-
tied in railway circles It served. however, 20

while, but the excitement soon died away. Its
improbability was apparent in the news being
accepted by nearly everybody as proof that it

of these places was it known that there was any
thing OF misunderstanding between any rail-
way company here and its employees. Mr.. Well

to enforce the same. After a long debate it was
defeated, but afterwards reconsidered and post

his determination to Withdraw rather
