The Deadlock Broken.

WASHINGTON, April l2.-The open
ing of to-day's developments in the
deadlock in the House was marked by
sharp passage at arms. The House
met in continuation Of the session OF
Wednesday, the 4th of April. Reed
OF Maine instantly demanded the
regular order. Randall Of Pennsyl-
vania asked unanimous consent to
make statement, but was shut off by
shouts of Irregular order" from the
Republican side. Cox Of New York
moved to adjourn. At demand of
Reed the yeas and nays were order
ed on this motion. The House, by a
vote of 100 to 1873, refused to adjourn.
The announcement was received with
loud cheers from the Republicans.
For a moment the Democrats were
taken aback, but Mcmillan, of
Tennessee, SC on moved the call of the
House to compel the attendance of
absentees. Reed attempted to make
a point Of order against the motion,
but the Speaker decided against him.
On viva voce vote the demand for
the call was defeated, and on stand
ing vote the Democrats suddenly
changed tactics and voted against
their own motion in order to allow
another motion on adjournment,
which was moved by Cox in the hope
that stragglers enough had come into
the House since the first vote to
change the result. A yea and nay
vote on this motion resulted in, yeas
14S, nays 1877, and the House was de-
clared adjourned. The Democrats in
their turn aroused echoes in the hall
with their applause to celebrate the
breaking of
THE GREAT DEADLOCK
On its ninth day.
Randall's purpose in seeking the
floor was to prevent the resolution
devoting three days in December
next to the consideration of the Direct
Tax bill. 1t is stated that the
resolution will be reported to the
Housa to-morrow hv committee rulas

BIT TER BEER.
Difficulty Between the Master
Brewers and Men.

DAhAACuAsy DetWeem the M0SbeE
Brewers and Men.
New York, April 12.-From pres
ent indications there will be beer
famine in this city after Monday next.
Not only in this city will the famine
spread, but in brooklyn, Elizabeth,
Jersey City and Hoboken. The mas
ter brewers say that the days of labor
unions picking out an individual
brewer to boycott and rule have
passed away, and they have adopted
the motto of the Knights of Labor:
AN injury to one is the concern of
ALL" Secretary Siefert, of the United
Brewers Association, when asked to-
day if the contemplated lockout was,
as rumored in some quarters, only
bluff, replied: No, sir; we mean Just
what we say. Next Monday, if all
boycotts are not removed all the brew
cries will close.
Will all the breweries outside of
New York shut down?
No; only in New York and vicinity,
but no beer will come to New York.
The master brewers publish an ad-
vertisement to-day, quoting the reso-
lutions adopted on Tuesday to the
effect that if the boycott placed on
them by the workmen of this city is
not removed before the 10th instant.
they will proceed to reorganize a
working force, and inviting men who
desire steady work in the brewery to
register their names at headquarters,
and at 10 o'clock 800 applican 8 for
work had registered their names and
addresses. The secretary of the mas
ter brewers said if the boycott was
not removed by Monday they will
proceed to weed out the malcontents
and fill their places.
The men who work in the breweries
show symptoms of alarm at the ac-
ton of the employers, and many
manifest disposition to rebel against
the Central Labor Union and take the
disposition of the trouble into their
own hands. The master brewers yes
terday received dispatch saying that
the resolutions adopted by the United
States Brewers Association will be
upheld and carried out to the letter.
1t was signed by the Chicago and
Milwaukee Brewers Association.
THE ILLINOIS TURN.
CHICAGO, April 12.-All the Union
masters and brewers in Chicago went
on strike at o'clock this morning.
Such move had been imminent for
some time, and had its origin in
circular issued by the National Or
ganization of Brewery Proprietors
which, in substance, announced their
determination to refuse recognition of
any Brewers or Masters Union.
This morning 400 malsters and brew
ers quit work, stopping every brewery
in the city except Ernst Bros, and
throwing out of employment probably
1,500 to 1000 men. The Ernst Bros.
establishment is working because the
proprietors secured q force of nom
union men some days ago.

An incident of MissIonarY Ridce.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: During the
battle of Missionary Ridge there was a comrade
by my side all the way up to the backbone of the
mountain until within few rods of the rebel
works. While l was firing / noticed that he
was simply swapping caps A comrade fell dead
a short distance from US, and l asked the man
who had come up the hill with me to get the
dead mans gun, which he did. / could see
plenty of rebels at this time on our left but
none in front of us, so commenced paying my
respects to those l could see as fast as 1 could
load and fire. All at once l got close call
from the enemy in front, which l would not
have detected had not my partner slapped me
on the shoulder and called my attention to the
fact that they were shooting at us from that
direction. Being ready to fire by this time
got the particular rebel who was shooting at
me instead of he hitting me.
/ consider that this cOmrade was the means
of saving my life by causing one less rebel to
exist on that occasion, and l am very anxious
to know his name and whereabouts if still
living, for | would be pleased to correspond
with him. Should he chance to see this article,
would be pleased to hear from him, for | am
sure he will remember the circumstance

An Impostor Of the WORT Trpe.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: / see in your
issue of 18th inst. an article from COmrade Al
bert Harrell, Adjutant Of Upton Post, Pueblo,
Colo, warning comrades against one James W..
King, who claims to have been a member oR
Co. III, l4th Ind. He is an impOstOr Of tho
worst type, if he Is the same person that was
here some time ago. This mans modus 0pe-
randi was to post himself as to companies and
the popular members thereof often represent
ing himself as being the member himself. To
the last commander Of Co. II, 18th Ind, he
represented himself as being James Fl. Rich
ardson, the Orderly Sergeant. Although being
informed that be did not resemble the Orderly,
he in Z very characteristic manner went
through sOme motions and told Of incidents
with which the Orderly was connected that
were convincing. He wanted 8; this was
freely given him, and had he asked for s. is
would have been given as freely, ss the COM
mander had much love for his Orderly. On
taking leave, aud while walking out Of the
office and out Of the store, be was narrowly
scrutinized, and his manner caused suspicion.
He was soon after followed, and meeting .
prominent comrade, the commander was sc-
costed with:
II have been victimized, and if I can catch
the fellow 1 viii prosecute him."
Whereupon he said that this fellow had rep
resented himself as being bis own cousin, and
proved it cOnelusively to him, prosecuting
attorney. He knew no better, until meeting
Maj. M, who said:
Your brother from the far West was in this
evening inqairing for you and asking assist
ance, and 1 have been looking for him ever
since"
WhereupOn the other remarked:
"I viii assist, as / have been worse fooled
than you have been.s
They enjoyed hearty laugh, and found
many other victims. The best way 20 avoid
such imposition is to use the telegraph.
At the last Reunion Of the 14th Ind. We be-
walled the loss of one member Of our Regiments
more than the loss of any other. The lament
ed was feelingly spoken of and finally con-
cluded that We could find a substitute 70 taks
the place Of our missing member, when it Was
moved and seconded that Abe CaetWell, of the
18th Ind, should take the place Of cur much
loved Reuben, our goose that was killed by the
eannibals of the 32d Ohio on Cheat Mountain,
VIVA. This motion was CARED unanimously.
The 14th Ind IS now happy again, they having
a goose to stand by.-CHARLEs II. MYERHoFF,

DEAR TRIBUNE: Mention was made In former
letter OF the opportunity given the National dele
cation GAR and W.R.C., 10 visit the tomb of
Garfield at Cleveland en- route to Columbus. The
members Of the w. R.C aud comrades of the g. A. r.

ed the vault where all that Is mortal OF James A.
Garfield rests.
A feeling of sadness pervaded each heart when
the Department Secretary, Mrs. Alice j. Fargo, re-
celved telegram telling OF the serious illness OF
her husband in San Diego, Cal, and asking her to
return to Erie; but sadness turned 10 deepest
sorrow when the Department President, Mrs.
Reavely, received IA dispatch before reaching Co

Pennsylvania both comrades and members Of

The W.RC. of Pennsylvania feel complimented
in having one of their number, Mrs. Abbie Lynch,

justly bestowed.-Mary A. Wallace, Department

RELIEF CORPS NEWS.
Gleanings from National Headquar-
terS---NOteS from the Departments.
RELIEF CORPS WORK.

From many sources comes the information OF
Relief Corps planning for a vigorous Fall cam
pagn. Fairs. Campfres entertainments OF all
sorts are projected, all for the one great common
cause of relief for the disabled Union veterans and
those he holds most dear.
This is as it should be. The very name OF Relief
Corps is a misnomer unless the one supreme OBJ
iect of helpful charity is uppermost. Every Corps
should have generous relief fund from which 1t
can draw whenever there is a call
Nor is It enough that the fund should be ready,
waiting for the call. 1t should be the duty and
pleasure of Relief Committee to go into the high
ways and byways and ascertain for themselves just
how many needy ones are shrinking away from the
public gaze suffering and it may be dying, rather
than to ask what should be freely offered.
Sometimes the most needy as well as the most
worthy are those who bear in suffering silence the
ills and privations that have fallen to their lot
There is no more certain means of ascertaning
their condition than by personal visitation.
Seek them out sisters OF the Relief Corps. May
be there is nothing more wanted than word OF
sympathy, the touch of q kindly hand A veteran
struggling under heavy burdens may need but the
simple message, :" Do not despair, brother, or feel
yourself forgotten. The sunshine and prosperity
about you are the fruits richly gathered from your
generous sowing"
A widow working bravely to keep her children
at school, will certainly take on new heart II she
hears from your lips the grateful, Well done I;
every one speaks of how nobly you are caring
for your dead soldiers little ones"
Do not be grudgng of sympathy. A months
rent paid for this one when the doctors bills are
heavy; pair of shoes for this child and warm
cloak for that new hat or dress, bonnet or
pair of gloves may tide over sore stress and
keep the place in the church or Sunday-school
filled from week to week.
Every Relief Corps should have depot Of sup
plies where each member may deposit from time
time the gifts of herself and friends. And these
should be distributed judeiousy--not scattered
Unfortunately or with blind and hurried pur-
pose.
In response to many requests the Editor of Re
lief Corps will from time to time furnish brief arti-
cles on this subject and invites others TO give to
THE NATIONAL TRIBgNE readers from their stores
