THE STRIKERS, oESsus.
The Number Who Went out OF Each
Shop.

Shop.
Upon the authority OF both sides the
number of morocco men who went ont OF
Tuesday evening was ut first roughly estl.
mated at 1900. A canvass of the factories
shows total OF only 637, which includes
both men and women and may be accepted
as very nearly exact. These were dis
tributed thus: ". Jones q Co., 1876; John G.
Baker, 81; William Bush q Co., rs; W. j.
MeClary. "a; l. L. Quigley, "a; Beadenkopi
Y Bro, 81; Pusey Il Scott Co., 56 John j.
Gibson Co., s; Charles Baird & Co., 42;
J. Mahoney Co., 10; OhaIles Fritz Il Co.,
2S; j. Parke Postles d Co., 90.
This, however, does not include all the
idle morocco workers, as numbers had been
laid of at different times before the strike.
But the total membership OF the three local
morocco assemblies Is less than 1900 and
they include many who are not morocco
workers. OF these three assemblies, the
members OF the flnishers' assembly only are
entitled to draw benefits.
The question of the amount OF bene-
fits which each man is to receive during the
strike was fixed by District Assembly "a on
last Thursday. A member of the order
said this afternoon that he had not heard
yet what rate per day or week
had been fixed. Mr.. Colwell said
1t was ample but would not
give the figures. He slid the district
assembly fixes whatever rate at whatever
the extgencies OF the case require. 1t was
remarked by member that when the strike
at Clerk d Lennox's factory occurred
several months ago the rate was SO week
for single and 50 for married men.

California Judges, in the Chinese
Gases, Say ROycOtting ~ Illegal.

SAN Francisco, CAL, April 1.-The habeas
corpus case of Thomas Baldwin, arrested
by United States marshal on charge OF
having assisted in the expulsion of the
Chinese from Nicolaus, CAL, was decided in
the United States circuit court yesterday.
The case was heard before Judges Sawyer
and Sabin. The petitioner claimed that the
Federal authorities had no jurisdiction In
the matter as the offence was answerable
only to the state authorities.
Judge Sawyer returned the decision.
He said the charge was apparently founded
on the law contained In section 5,5l9 of the
Revised Statutes of the United States, which
imposes heavy penalty on persons engage
ing in Il conspiracy to deprive any person,
or class Of persons of the equal protection
Of the laws, and added that II that section
Is valid, what is popularly known as "boy-
eottlng" is criminal, and the writ should be
dismissed and the prisoner released on his
own recognizance. An appeal will be taken
to the United States Supreme Court.

An old gentleman of 85 had just died,
and the choir was rehearsing little mu-

through a hymn in which occurred the
phrase "a rosebud dying in its bloom"
when the young soprano stopped, and in
very distressed voice, remarked: "Ohi
that will never do you know. II is so
ridiculous to sing rosebud when he was
nearly 80 years old. We really must

Parade Resides the Race.
LONDON, April 3.-The annual university
boat race between Oxford and Cambridge
crews was rowed this afternoon over the
usual course on the Thames river from
Putney to Mortlake, and resulted, as was
expected, In victory for Cambridge.
The sky was cloudy, the weather mild
and the wind pretty strong at the start and
during the race. The water was suffl-
ciently ''lumpy" to put to u thorough test
the stamina of the men engaged In the con-
test. The betting was 10 favor of Cam
bridge. The river banks were both
crowded, thousands of persons making Of
the race an event for a holiday. Yankee
enterprise entertained the sight-seers
almost MS much as the contest between the
university athletes. An American manu-
featuring company set up several hundred
small balloons from Putney containing ad-
vertisements of their wares, and offering
some OF them free to finders Of the balloons.
There was consequently great rushing
among the immense crowds to secure bal
looms as they came to the ground. The
sport accustomed by the whole affair was
great an d indescribable.

HORACE HAMMELL's SUIT.
Claiming sick Benefits for IIlncsa
While Serving a Term In Prison.
PHILADELPHIA Times of Saturday,


A suit involving some delicate legal
points has been brought by Horace
Hammell of Camden, N. j., against Camden
Lodge, No. 1866, Independent Order Of Odd
Fellows. Hammell was formerly Il we'll
known and highly-respected citizen OF
Camden and did large commission busi-
ness in Dock street market, Philadelphia.
He was treasurer of the Newton Building
and Loan Association, and by un-
fortunate speculations with its funds
swamped the association and landed
himself In the state penitentiary. This
was In 1881. His health soon broke down
under the close confinement and after serv-
ing aoout three years Of his term he was
pardoned. Since then Mr.. Hammell has
been a confirmed invalid. He kept up his
membership in the lodge during his lmpri-
sonment and now claims sick benefits from
1881 to date amounting to about 81 100.
The lodge denies responsibility for the
benefits on the ground that the plaintiffs
conviction OF a criminal offence absolves
that body from payment, especially as the
disease resulted from his confinement.
Hammell claims that as no was never ex-
PEELED from the lodge he is entitled to its
benefits. The decision is awaited with con-
siderable interest by the legal profession
and Odd Fellows.
