Good Girls do not PartaIke in the st.
Louis SchOOI-bOys' Strike.

Strikes were inaugurated in sew
eraI of the St. Louis public schools, the
children demanding shorter hours. The
following notice was found posted on the
Hodgen School:
Boys of the Hodgen School, strike Fri
day, April 10th, by order of the Strike
School Association.
The principal of the school made an in
vestigatiOn, and found that the notice had
been put up by two pupils in the 90 Second
Reader" class. He gave them a sound
thrashing, which had the effect of keeping
their felIow-strikers from going out. The
most trouble was at the Madison School,
on South Seventh street, near Choutean
avenue. About thirty of the boys ran away
from school and marched through the streets
in the vicinity of the building. They were
ont on a strike, they said, for shorter
hours and less music in the schools. They
wanted the afternoon session to open at l
o'clock instead of 1 80, and to let out at
instead of AS p. NJ. This would give
them nearly an hour longer for marbles and
baseball. One of the boys who refused to
join them was called Z" scab - and caught
after school and given a thrashing for his
disloyalty to the brotherhood. The girls
took no part in the rebellion. There was
also some trouble at the Clinton and Pea
body schools, and the strike fever is liable
to spread to others.

THE FIRE IN AUSTRIA.
Prisoners Burnea TO Death-Distress
of the People.

The fire at Stry, in Galicia, is still raging
The situation there is appalling. Thousands
of the inhabitants are bankrupt. The
charred remains of many victims have al
ready been dug out of the ruins. The Mayor
of the town has sent telegram to Lem
berg, asking that troops be sent to Stry with
appliances to extinguish the fire. The dam
age Is estimated at several million forms.
The total number of the dead is now forty
Most Of the victims were children.
When the fire had reached its height,
prisons were opened, but the authorities had
delayed the release of the prisoners too long,
and fourteen of the unfortunate inmates
were burned to death. In the suburbs of
the town all was confusion. The peasants
looted houses and shops, after conflicts with
their owners, some of whom in their despair
committed suicide. The gale was so severe
that sparks were carried three miles and set
fire to a number of huts occupied by the
peasantry. The Emperor has donated
$4,000 for the relief of the sufferers.
LATER.-The estimates of the fatalities at
Stry are now placed at 100, including so
children supposed to have been burned to
death in q schoolhouse. When the fire
commenced the bulk of the inhabitants were
absent at fete, and on their return they
were so completely dazed by the calamity,
that the confsgration was allowed to pro-
coed unchecked.

A MURpERoUs PRIEST.
He Shoots the Bishop of Madrid on
the Cathedral Steps.

While the Bishop of Madrid was ascend
ing the steps leading to the entrance of the
Cathedral, he was shot with a revolver by
a priest standing at the top of the steps,
the ball entering his abdomen. This was
followed by another shot, which wounded
the Bishop in the side, whereupon the
wounded man fell on the steps. The priest
then descended the steps and fired still an
other shot, which took effect in the Bishops
thigh. The Bishop was borne in an I'M
conscious condition to private chamber of
the Cathedral, where the last sacrament
for the dying was administered to him. The
priest was arrested.
It being Palm Sunday, the Cathedral was
more than usually crowded by wOrshipers,
and when the fearful work of the priest
was realized a furious mob followed the
carriage in which he was conveyed to prison
by gendarmes, whose presence alone pre-
vented his being lynched. The motive for
the crime was revenge. The man who
fired the shots was recently dismissed from
the priesthood and had fruitlessly applied
to the Bishop to be reinstated Queen
Christina has inquired as to the Bishops
condition and the Pope has telegraphed his
blessing. The Priest made an attempt to
commit suicide.
4 Madrid dispatch says that Monsignor
Narcissus Martinez Esquiero, Bishop of
Madrid who was shot by Cayetano Galeste,
the recently UnfrOcked priest, is dead. On
his way to prison the assassin admitted the
deed and said, g l feel tranquil, 1 have
avenged my wrongs" The bishop once
Salamanca in the Senate and
was brilliant orator Although a Liberal
he was made a bishop by the Conservatives
because of his piety.

TransportatIon OF Foreign Nails.

Barrows (R.) of Michigan, has moved
to provide for the transportation of foreign
mails. It directs the Postmaster-General
before the first of July, 1886, and every five
years thereafter, to enter into a contract
with the lowest responsible bidder, at a rate
not exceeding fifty cents per mile on the
outward trips of actual miles travelled be-
tween the terminal points, for transportation
of the mails for the United States between
any port in the United States and ports of
the Pacific and South Atlantic oceans, the
gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sea.
The ships with which such contracts shall
be made shall be of American register and
manned by American crews, and the con-
tracts shall extend for term of five years ;
and all vessels so engaged shall in time of
war be subject to purchase or charter by the
United States at reasonable rates. The
President is authorized to enter into treaty
negotiations with the governments of the
several countries of Central and South Anne
RIGA, Asia and the islands of the Pacific for
concerted support of such steamship mail
facilities as may be established.

LAnRn

A large number of Mexican dollars have
been freely circulated in Osaka of late, but
as forged or bad dollars have often been
presented at the branch of the Nippon Gin
ko in that city for exchange into converti-
BILE notes, a Chinese expert has been en-
ployed at the bank to examine all dollars
rendered. However, so many dollars re-
ceived by the bank have turned out bad that
it has been decided to refuse to exchange
notes for dollars in future.
The growth of the tea plants is very sat
isfactory this season owing to the favorable
weather which has prevailed so far, and the
new shoots are sprouting in all districts. It
is expected that the first packages of new
tea will arrive at Yokohama about the Goth
of April unless the leaves become damaged
by frost If this does not occur the first lot
of new tea will be exported by the Ameri-
can steamer which is to leave Yokohama on
the oath of April.

BRITISH TOPICS.
scotch Opposition 10 GIadstOne's Irish
Programme.

The detection of the Scotch Radical men,
bers of the House of Commons, has been
growing since the provisions of the Land
bill were made known. 1t is estimated that
twenty-five viii vote against Gladstone, and
more will abstain from voting. Duncan
McLavin, former member for Edinburgh,
and a prominent Radical since 1920, de-
nounces the whole scheme. He is John
Bright's brother-in-law. Mr.. Bright's hos
tility to the scheme is pronounced He con-
siders the terms of purchase intollerable.
1t is reported that he urges Gladstone to ap-
peal to the country if the Home Rule bill
passes by only small majority. At a
crowded meeting of the Glasgow Chamber
of Commerce, the proposed Dublin Parlla-
ment was denounced as a danger to the COM
mercial interest of the kingdom. The
speakers were Liberals and were formerly
Gladstonians.
An active campaign will be conducted
during the Easter recess, in which Cham
berlain, Trevelyan, Harrington, Morley,
Goschen and Lord Spencer will take part.
The Conservative leaders hold aloof, desir-
ing to leave the front of opposition to the
Wings. Some of the Conservative mem
bers, discontinued because their leaders have
decided not to take part in the campaign,
have sent protest to Lord Salisbury, who,
however, declined to change their course.

reading of the Home Rule bill has been
tabled, under an arrangement with Lord
Harrington, who will make the motion In
place of Mr. Brand.
Sir Charles Dixie has informed the Elect
oral Committee, that he will make a full
statement at a public meeting on May 3rd,
if the Queens Proctor fails to reopen Craw-
ford IS divorce case previously.
It is stated that if the Irish landlords OPP
pose the Land Purchase bill, Gladstone will
withdraw the measure, and if the Home
Rule bill be carried by only small major
ity it will be withdrawn, and fresh scheme
presented in 1887.
At a meeting of the Corporation at Dub
lin, the Mayor expressed gratitude to Glad
stone for his labors in behalf of Ireland.
At the same time he declared that both the
Home Rule and Land Purchase bill would
require considerable modification.

THE CHINESE MEASURES.
Action ON the Morrow Bill and the
Belmont Resolution.

The House Committee on Foreign Affairs
came to a final decision on two measures
relating to the Chinese. The Belmont
resolution indemnifying the Chinese for
losses sustained by the Rock Springs riot
was adopted unanimously. The amount is
$147, 748. The Morrow bill was next taken
up The committee struck out, by ma
jority vote, the clause which provided for
the forfeiture of a Chinaman's right to re-
turn to this country if he stayed away two
years. This clause was regarded as a
fragrant violation of the treaty. The COM
mittee next, by q majority vote, amended
the bill making it applicable for ten years,
or till 1896, instead of twenty years as pro-
vided by Morrow. The third modification
of the bill was in Section 8. This section,
as it stood originally, prohibited the master
of any vessel from bringing to this country
any more than one Chinaman to every fifty
tons burden. The committee struck out all
the force and meaning of this clause by
adding the provision that it shall not apply
to any person who is entitled to enter the
United States under the existing treaty.
AS all Cinnamon with certificates are en-
titled to land, this clause does not affect
them, nor does it touch ambassadors and
merchants, and as no others are permitted
to come the section is absolutely meaning
less, and it was so intended to make it.

COFeR.

Tai On Kun has been highly provoked by
the Government arresting his servants and
has threatened to leave Seoul and return to
China again. The Chinese Minister, Yen
Segal, is endeavoring to arrange the mis-
understanding between him and the King,
but a reconciliation has not yet been eff
fected.
The price of rice has risen and great dis
quietude prevails among the people in
Seoul, though disturbances are not likely to
ensue.
Min Yong-ih recently started for tour
through Europe and America, taking con-
siderable amount of money with him. He
had circular note, or letter of credit, worth
some 1900, but this was stolen from him,
OH arriving in Hongkong, by one of his
companions, certain Min Chuho, who de-
camped with the money and is said to have
gone to America.
A letter was received at Seoul on Febru-
airy 18th by the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
purporting to come from an Admiral of the
United States Navy. 1t was addressed to
''Kim Ok-kym, Minister of Foreign Affairs, "
and ran thus 1.-The President and Sec
rotary of the Navy are in sympathy with
the revolution which you attempted to car
ry out last year, but think that the means
you employed were of too radical la ma
ture. The particulars concerning your rev.
oIution have been related to the American
Government by Minister Foote; but though
you have the cordial sympathy of this
Government, it will be impossible to send
troops to your assistance, as you have re-
quested in your recent letters. If this were
done, Japan and China, as we'll as the Eu-
ropean powers, would have just cause for
complaint. Neither can men-ef-war be dis
patched to aid you in carrying out your
plans. Yet we place implicit confidence in
your good judgment and wish you success
This remarkable communication has thrown
the Corean Government into great conster-
nation. Kim Ok-kyun has evidently sent
a letter to the American Government sign
ing himself minister of Foreign Affairs
The Corean Foreign Office, says a Japan
vernacular paper; has already forwarded
reply to the United States. If so, we pity
them for making asses of themselves.
