the high grounds adjoining the grounds
seemed to take pleasure in watching
diminutive rivulets trickling down the
cIeyices of the Ice Kings castle, though two
days quiet but persistent work of old Sol

than the harmless batteries OF the Fire
King and his minions in their spectacular
assault of Thursday evening.

the sun. and the scene of Saturdays snow
shoe races had lost its white mantle and
was an unromantic collection of dirty snow
patches and soft mud knobs. The usual
activity OF the rinks was wanting, the
booths were closed, while the Indian
quietly pulled their pipes in their smoky
tepees. The whole scene, with its silence
so oppressive after the past few days Of ac-
tivity aud enjoyment, had an effect hardly
less chilling than the icy touch of the Greek
slave within the walls. The fact that crowd:
of people were visible all around on the out

pressive and disagreeable.

luncheon by Mrs. j. B. Beals the other
evening. Just before luncheon was served
the club was called to order, and on behalf
of Mrs. Beals, Mrs. L. c. Jones, Mrs. VIII
son and Mrs. 4. p. Shepard. Mr.. Beals

SPOTTED WITH BLOOD.
Nom Union Workmen in the Coke
Regions Threatened With Death.
Furnaces Closing for Want of Coke--
The Mallory Boycott.
Desperate strikers.

MT. PLEASANT, Pa, Feb. THE
strikers held meetings at different places
throughout the coke regions to-day and de-
cided to march in a body to Scottdale to-
morrow to attend mass meeting. The week
closed yesterday with several occurrences of
a character which showed the determination
and desperation of the strikers. A number
of men who have been working in the. pits
received letters bearing the insignia of
death, with Golfers and daggers rampant.
while the inscription wsrReel- -theR4 la stop
work immediately under penalty of death.
The missives were spotted with blood and
presented a very sanguinary appearance.
At noon yesterday about forty strikers dis
covered three men at work loading a stock
of coke at BOyle's Bridgeport works. The
wOrkmen started to run, when the strikers
gave chase, firing at the fugitives, and
abandoning the pursuit when they were
satisfied the men would not attempt to
work. The night previous, when the cars
ran into the Boyle works band of strikers
armed with guns and revolvers lay behind
the ovens nearly the entire night to prevent
any attempt at resumption of work. The
miners are thoroughly posted on every
movement of the operators, being in con-
slant communication with friends in Pitts
| burg.

The Thaw win End To-Day.

The thermometer yesterday registered
at 43 above zero in the shade and in the
sun it was fairly hot. The indications re-
ported by Observer Lyons were to the effect
that throughout the Northwest the thaw
was general. The barometer as observed
locally was slightly falling, a fact that in
dicated no sudden change to cold. Observer
Lyons says that to-day Will be fully as
warm as the two preceding days. 1t is
probable that by tonight there will be q
fall in the temperature, and reports show
falling barometer in the Northwest. This
indicates a change and may deyeiope into a
storm within two or three days At any

Coleman, president of the Southern Rail-
road company of st. Louis, Mo-, died early

had been in bad health nearly year, but
hopes had been entertained for his recovery
until his ailments became complicated with
erysipelas and asthma. Mr. Coleman was
a native of Louisville, KY, where his fam
iIy have been prominent in business and
socially for more than fifty years. Mr..
Coleman was only 81 years old at the time
of his death. Two of his brothers, j. n.
Coleman of PittSburg and T. G. Coleman
of Louisville, were with him when he died.
The remains will be taken to Louisville fol-

Norauay on the Indians.

In conversation with a representative of
the GLOBE, Premier Norquay of Manitoba,
who is visiting ST. Paul during the carnival.
spoke at some length on the probabilities
of an Indian outbreak in the
Northwest this spring. Il have
no expectation that there will
be any trouble" said he. Though it is not
possible to make a sure prediction. The
Indians there have their grievances, and
they are like all the Indians; they cannot
be relied upon. So when everything seems
to be quiet and peaceful. an outbreak may
occur. The trouble with the Indians on
our side of the line is much the same, and
anticipate as it is ON the other they are
not properly treated by the officials, the
agents and their employees" The premier
said he regarded the Indians as almost in
capable of being wholly civilized. and said
that they would always be Indians with
about their present traits in spite OF the
efforts to make white men out of them.

had kept them on the quivive all the week.
might take off their toques and sashes
and mcocasins, and in usual clothes,
at church or in their homes
cease for the time from the carnival merri-
ment and rest. to be ready this morning
for a fresh start in the festivities. The day
was bright and hardly cloud was to be
seen from sunrise to sunset; the tempera-
ture entirely out of keeping with winter
carnival, as if King Boreals had himself
decided to observe the Sabbath day and had
gone to sleep for moment, while his foe
man the Fire King took occasion to parade
the streets pelting great chunks of slush at
the warriors of the Ice King, who seemed
to be off duty while their monarch was
resting. 1t is doubtful if many of the visit
ing carnival celebrants attended
church. The church bells did not call them
with such persuasive voice as had the
sounding of the bugleS for the forming of
the big pageants. There were at least two
reasons for this. Doubtless all were tired
- with the strain they have been put to dur
ing the crowded week and took the time
when church bells are tolling to get
needed rest. Another reason, and perhaps
a stronger one in many cases, was that the
visitors, having come to st. Paul to attend
the carnival only, came
IN CARNIVAL CLOTHES,
and from a sense of the eternal
fitness of things hesitated to walk
up the broad aisle in a red and
white blanket suit of knickerbockers.
They had scruples against treading the car
pets of the church with moccasined feet
and dangling from their hands tobog-
gaming toque. For these, if for no other
reasons, the attendance at the churches was
not much larger than usual. About the
hotels there was unusual hustle when once
the dwellers i'll them had arisen from thelI
long morning maps and come down into
the rotundas. The streets were unusually
active, both with pedestrians and teams,
and in the warm weather the usual loafing
corners were loaded down as they
have not been before for months.
The rule of the carnival associa-
tion that the palace grounds should
be closed on Sunday was stictly enforced,
and the Indians camped in the corner were
about the only human beings that were
within the walls during the day. The
palace looks lonely. From within there
was a constant dropping of water, as the
ice melted a little under the rays of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Senator Sher-
man does not follow the example of his
brother, Gen. Sherman, in being too sure Of
what he has said or written. To-day he
was shown the New York Worlds dispatch
from Columbus, stating that Pension Agent
Leman had a letter written by Senator
Sherman. in which the latter intimated
that Leman could not be confirmed unless
he promised TO keep the Republican subordi-
mates in Office. Senator Sherman read the
article carefully and asked:
'Who is Leman? do not believe that therN
is a man of that name before the senate for
confirmation. If there is, / must have for
gotten il. It does not occur TO me that Le-
man is the name OF the man nominated to

ing weat is stated in the dispatch?'

publish it. 1 don't remember writing such
letter. The letters l write can all be pub
lished. never write letter that L am afraid

that he had written letter of the charac-
ter stated. He reiterated that he could not
recall the name of Lemon to mind.
