The Lake shore settlement.

CHICAGO, April 2G.-Since the Lake Shore
switchmen's strike came to a sudden termin-
alton there has been great deal ofspecula-
tioD as to the fate awaiting the Objectionable
men. The company's officials say that they
maintained their position and made no agree
ment whatever as to the disposal of the eight
men; nor had they authorized any one to
sign the paper exhibited by Mr.. Stahl. The
latter still insists that the eight men will be
removed within sixty days and an agreement
to that effect was signed by one authorized
by the company to do so. He refuses to di-
vulge the name of the person. As nearly as
can be ascertained the facts are that the
company made no agreement whatever
whereby the statue of the eight men was
changed in the least. The Daily News says,
from all it can learn, the suppos-
ed agreement is signed bv Sheriff
Hanchett, and that that official relied
on the promise that several business
men would place such tempting offers, both
in the way of position and bonus before the
eight men that their refusal of them would
be next to impossible, ana that he, relying
on that being done, signed the guaranty.
The suppoSition at the time by the strikers
was that Sheriff Hanchett was in way at
least acting for the company. The same pa
per says: Though the strikers may have
been deceived in that respect, 1t is not be-
heved discovery of the fact will reopen the
trouble. Webster and Chafee two of the
eight men. say that no proposition to work
elsewhere has been made to them, and that
they expect to continue working for the
company. Three of the city dailies print in
terviews with seTen of the eight men, one
being absent on sick leave, and they all
agree in asserting that they have had no Of
fers to leave the company and that it is
their intention to remain in the railroad s
employ. The railroad officials reiterate their
original statement that the men are not to be
discharged and are to remain as long a. they
choose.

New York street Car Strike.

New YORK, April 26.-The strike on the
Third avenue surface railroad still continues
unchanged. Sixty cars are running to-day.
The General Sessions Court Grand Jury met
early to-day and had before them the cases
of the men who ordered the general "tie
up" on all the surface railroads here last
week. Officers and directors of the Third
avenue road, as well as police officers. were
ex mined as witnesses. The counsel for the
sulkers visited the District Attorney OIL ;e
during the day and made arrangements Tor
giving bail in case any of their associates
were arrested.
This afternoon one of the strikers placed
stones in the groove of the company's cable
branch, on a steep decline, and loss of lile
was prevented only by the caution exercised
in operating the car The man was arrest
ed. Except for police interference a throng
of strikers and their friends would have this
evening mobbed three of the new men
who went to repair the tracks at Fifty ninth
street. The fact that indictments against
some OF the leaders OF the strike had been
found, caused excitement among the later
tonight. The strikers will begin running
stages on Third avenue tomorrow from Har-

Mr.. Bright, Earl SelbourD, Earl Derby and
the Duke OF Argyle, to create an independ-

Resentment.

Special to the sentinel.
WASHINGTON, April 26 The effects Of the
Austrian minister are advertised to be sold
at auction next Thursday. The advertise
ment enumerates all the household furniture
and ornaments of the house occupied by
Baron Schaeffer. This is considered positive
evidence that the minister does not intend
to return. There has been a good deal OF
humbug talk at the State Department about
the BarOn's being kept in Austria on account
OF i'll health. This i'll health is simply a
diplomatic cover for the resentment which
Austria feels toward this Government on ac-
count Of the Kelly affair. Mr.. Bayard does
not intend TO recommend the appointment
of any minister TO Austria on account of the
Teiectment OF Kelly. The Austri an Govern
ment has waited a eaSonabe length OF time
for minister to be sent TO Vienna. Schaef-
fer's withdrawal now means a complete
severance OF diplomatic relations between
the two countries.

A Rebuff.

WAsHINGToN, April 2G - Congressman
John J. O'Neill, the friend OF the labOring

set the blood of his friends TO boiling. Mr..
O'Neill, in that generous spirit which is char
acteristic of his race, has been wont to shed
the light of his coHntenance upon the Asso-
ciated Press regularly at the rate of one puff
per day. Lately the representatives OF the
Associated Press have been heard to remark
that John J. O'Neill was fillirg up too much
space in the press of the country. Mr..
O'Neill, hearing nothing OF these NUT
teTings, mounted the stairs lead
ing TO the Associated Press headquar-
tiers, few nights since, and throwing
himself into chair, remarked that he was
about 10 interview himself on the Presidents
labor message. Nobody said anything, and
Mr.. 0'Neill proceeded to unburden himself.
He criticised the President very severely, and
wound up with glorious eulogy of the La
Dor Committees Arbitration bill. Nobody
said anything for some minutes. Then the
manager spoke up and said: Those are
your opinions, are they Mr.. O'Neill?'
Yes, sir" said O'Neill; "they are my.opiD-
ions
We'll, said the manager, with a siclly
smile, Il think you had better go up to the
White House and tell the President what
you think of his measure; perhaps if you
tell him he will withdraw it and write
another to suit your views"
Two or three unfeeIng reporters chuckled,
and then there was cold sickening silence,
in which Jno. J. ONeill drifted out of the
door, down the stairs and into the outer

There is considerable rivalry every year among Califor. ia raisin- growers as to who ehall put the first of the crop on
 the market. So far viic. latter part ot
 August has been the earliest period, but our vineyardists seem destined to put completely in the shade at no distant day by those of Arizona. A sample of raisins has been received from resi- dent of Yuma, A. T., which were pick ed from the vine July l4th and were sufficiently dried on the 24th. These raisins were grown in what Is known as the Mohawk valley, on the banks of the Gila River, in southwestern Ari- zona. This section possesses a fertile soil. and is we'll watered and has been largely settled upon recently by those who are content to endure the hot eli
 mete in the certainly of being able to put fruit of all kinds upon the market from one to tive months in advance of any other portion of the United States. How hot the climate Is in that section may be understood from the following table of temperature, taken for the ele- ven days in which the raisins referred
