AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR IRE.
LAND.
Absurd Statements Of a st. Louis Core.
spOndent OF the London Times.

a AWSuru St8te"e0tS Oh u ST. Louis COHF0s
spOndent OF the London Times.
LONDON, Juce 3.-The Times publishes q
letter from q correspondent at ST. Louis who
says 1t Is a slander upon the American people
TO say that twenty or even ten millions OF them
are ready TO back the Irish in the home rule
fight with either their money or their influence.
The writer asserts, "withOut fear Of CONTRA
dictSOn, that there are not over 1000 American
born citizens III the United StateswhO have ever
contributed q cent 10 the home rule iund."
He adds: "NO home rule sympathy has been
shown from our greatest Industrial class. the
farmers. When you hear OF public men do
mating to the Irish cause, remember that they
are either Off1ce-holders or Office-seekers, with
large Irish constituencies to please. The senti-
ment Of the purely Irish element in cities
must not be mistaken for the sentiment OF the
American people. Nine-tenths of the leaders
in the recent railway strikes In this country
were Irish. A firm determination exists, II
these labor agitations, carried on by foreign.
born men continue, to form party of native
born Americans, only to see that none but
natives OF this land obtain offices Of trust or
power"

Not Affected hx Are.

Some old specimens of Royal Baking Powder
that had been kept on the shelf OF q grocery
store for ten years were recently tested by Prof
Schedler Of New York, for the purpose of
measuring the loss Of strength they had under
gone. II was found that although the powder
bad been exposed to atmospheric changes
during all this ume-fOr 1t was not in air-ti9ht
cans-its loss OF raising power or strength was
Less than one per cent,the powder being practi-
cally as good as the day it was put up.
This IL = most valuable quality In q baking
powder, one which few possess. Most powders
II not used when first made are found to be In
effective. IL kept even O few weeks they lose
their leavening power, become lumpy or caked
and valueless. This is particularly the case
with ''bread preparations' or baking powders
made from ph0sphates.
This superior keeping quality In the sRoyal"
arises from the extraordinary care In its
manufacture, and the scientific principles en-.
pl0yed in its combination. The articles used
In Its composition are thoroughly dried by
heat before being compounded, aud are 90 pre-
pared ana coated as To prevent the action OF
the acid upon the alKali prematurely, or ex.

The Royal Baking Powder Is now used ex,

latttudes, where IL has been found to be the
only baking powder that will Withstand
the hot, moist atmosphere without deteriora-

ANOTHER BIG DEAL BEING ENGINEERED AT

The Eisht.HOur Lockout.

Az IdE WUhAINVMENS HEADQUARTERS.
At the Knights of Labor headquarters to-day
the spokesmen for a party Of locked-out
plumbers expressed to STAR reporter the
opinion that the backbone Of the lockout was
broken, and that the bosses would soon call
their old men back. The Withdrawals from or
notifications OF the amalgamation, he argued,
had really benefited the cause of the working
men. The plumbers, timers and plasterers are
now working under a sort of modified amalga-
i7ation, IN which they use their own judgment
as to calling men from work. In case they
think they can make point or benefit another
craft, they say, they will call men of from a
JOB: The plumbers insist that they will have
eight hours or nothing. Many of the leading
men in other organizations advise the carpen.
ters to accept the compromise on nine hours, il
the master builders are willing to accept it.

Ane Matthew's Nomination Caused lt.
WHY SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER RErIREs FROM
THE SENATE DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Riddleberser retires
from the Senate committee on the District las
mentioned elsewhere) because he is displeased
with the chairman. The Matthews nomination
was originally referred to a subcommittee Of
which he was chairman, and alter some weeks
IL was taken from that sub-com-
mfttee and referred to Messrs Ingalls,
and Harris. 1t was said that this was done
because no report could be procured from the
original reference. At any rate, the new sub
committee took Jurisdiction OF the case and
heard the witnesses summoned. Mr.. Riddle
berger, 1t seems, did not think he had been
fairly treated When he made his request to
be relieved Senator Ingalls, went to him and
apparently protested in his mildest manner
but the Virginia Senator vigorously shook his
head, indicating that he meant to shake the
committee too. The vacancy thus created will
De nled, OF course, with a republican, and the
change may have some influence upon the fate
OF Matthews. The opposition TO his contirma-
ton Is now labOring with the republicans, and
should Senator who Is against Matthews be
appointed that would materially lessen his
chances OF confirmation.
Senator Riddleberger said to STAR reporter
this afternoon that the matter OF filling the
vacancy on the District committee mad not
been talked of. Mr.. Riddleberger's retirement
was entirety unexpected to Mr.. Ingalls,.
with regard to the Change OF the Matthews
reference, 1t is said that the members of the old
declined TO again take the case.
