PITTSBURG, Feb. 6.-Twenty-twO of
the twentyfour pudding furnaces at
Clark Il Co.'s Solar Iron works were in
operation to-day under increased pro-
lection. The non-uniOn negroes, who
were the cause of Saturday evenings
riot, reached the mill before daylight,
thus escaping the crowds that gathered
at later hour. The strikers all seem
to deplore the state of affairs and en-
phatically deny that they had anything
to do with Saturdays riot. Joe Kenny,
the boy who was shot at
the West Pennsylvania hospital,
is suffering intensely from his
injuries, but may recover. Sheriff
McCandless this afternoon posted nu-
merous copies of a proclamation in the
vicinity of the works commanding the
strikers to keep the peace and remain
away from the vicinity of the mill.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon
crowds of men and boys began to assem-
BILE on the street corners, some of them
intoxicated and indulging in very wild
threats of violence. By 4:30 fully 1900
were on the streets next to the mill. AS
tIiO Noihulcn dppedleu dU Iue Sdlo tilo
hoOting and yelling was terrific.
The presence of three lieutenants
in charge of five policemen. who were
acting as guard to the non-uniOnists,
held the crowd at distance and they
passed along the street unmOlested till
at the corner of Twenty-ninth street and
sandman. when the crowd attempted
to get in advance. This the officers pre-
vented. On reaching Pennsylvania
avenue one of the nOn-union negroes
left the ranks to go to his home. He
was Immediately surrounded by howl
ing, yelling mob of 400 persons, and
was very roughly handled. He
appealed for aid and squad
of policemen went to his as
sistance. There is no doubt but that
he would have been mobbed in very
short time. Police Officer S. W. Freed
man was this evening placed under
arrest for shooting into the crowd
Saturday evening last. 1t is claimed
that he fired the first shot that was
quickly followed by the volley from the
reyolvers in the hands of the negroes.
He gave bail in $500 for appearing Mon
day next.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Advices
were received here to-day to the effect
that a vessel, supposed to be the Brit
ish bark AbercOrn, bound from Mary
port, England, to Portland, Or, was
wrecked on the Washington territory
coast on the night of Feb. l. The yes
sci arrived off Columbia river Feb. l,
but, being unable to get over the break
ers, put to sea again. She was caught
in the gale, driven nOrthward, and dur
ing the night was wrecked on the coast,
near Gray's Harbor. The sea was so
high that the officers and crew could
not leave the vessel. They tried to do
so, but failed. and all persisted except
two seaman and an apprentice. 1t is
thought that fully twenty lives were
lost. The AbercOrn's captain was named
McCullOm. The vessel had cargo of
iron ore, and ship and cargo were val
ued at $4,000.
1t is reported here that the bark Aber-
corn, wrecked off Gays Harbor, W. r.,
carried crew of twenty-seven officers
and men. Of this number but three
were saved.

THE SUMMIT CROSSING.

1t is the sense OF the chamber of CON-
merce that the grade of the cable line
should be lowered so as to permit the
track to pass under Summit avenue, in
stead of over it. 1t was evident, how
ever, from the language of the reSolu-
ton adopted, and from the expressions
of opinion brought out in the dis
cuSSiOn of the question, that the men,
berS of the chamber did not consider
that the lowering of the roadbed would
make sufficient change in the grade to
add to the safety of passengers on the
cable ears, but it would remove the dan
ger that now exists toperSOnS driving on
Summit avenue. The danger Is from cars
coming up the hill which cannot be
seen until they are at the summit, and
coming suddenly into view are very apt
to brighten horses. 1t is at point, too,
where the grip cannot be relaxed so as
to stop the cars without danger of let
ting them run back down the hill. Thus
the danger of the ear crossing on Sum-
nit is a real one and not imaginary. AS
we have stated, the sinking of the cable
roadbed at that point would not ma
terially lessen the danger to passengers
on the cars, but it would entirely re-
move the danger of running into We
hicles at the crossing.
1t leaked out in the discussion in the
chamber Yesterday that a misunder-
standing existed in the public mind
with regard to the causes which pre-
vented the cut from being made at SUM
init avenue as was originally suggested.
1t was not due TO the violent opposition
of property holders on Selby avenue. as
has been popularity supposed, nor to
their asking unreasonable damages. 1t
is true that they wanted reasonable
damages, as they had a right to, but
1t was by an agreement be-
tween the Selby avenue property
holders and the Summit Avenue In
proyement company that the matter
should go over until there was meet
ing of the state Legislature, in order
to get authority for the city council to
make provision for the payment of the
damages. Now that the matter is bet
ter understood, and the imminence OF
the danger at the Summit avenue cross
ing is so apparent, it does seem that
some meaus should be devised by
which the cable road should be run
under the avenue, and that without

EASTERN IGNORANCE

Really it looks as though these East
ern editors who so learnedIy discuss
affairs at home and abroad, particularly
abroad, will have to be formed into a
class for elementary instruction in the
geography and ethnology of their own
country. The instances of their ignor-
anee of almost everything pertaining to
the West and its people are daily multi
plying and becoming more painful.
The latest is narrowing description,
in a metropolitan publication, of the
way 'the SiSSetOn Indians of Mime
sofa" are dying from starvation. Now
this is a libel. of course. The Minnesota
people have no cause to love the ignoble
red man, but they are not quite so blind
to everylhuman instinct as to refuse aid
even to starving Indians, should the
general government be lacking in its
duty.
But, as matter of fact, all the Min
neSota Indians are well provided for.
Many OF them, in fact, are comfortably
well off. The only basis for the story
was the publication by a correspondent
of the deplorable condition in which he
found an Indian family III the vicinity
of Fort SisSeton, Oak, not in Mime
sofa, suffering from smallpox, not from
starvation. The rapidity with which
their malieiOnsly ignorant comments
upon the Western ''blizzard'' was fol-
lowed by second of the same sort in
their own neighborhcod should have
been sufficient to teach these Eastern
writers that comment upon Western
affairs about which they know nothing
Is dangerous
Come West, gentlemen and learn
something about this greatest portion
Of our glorious country.

Railroad Managers Amuse Them
selves by Further Cutting Rates.
CHIcAGo, Feb. 6.-The cutting was
to-day again fast and furious in western
freight rates. Lumber at the very out
set in the morning was reduced from
Chicago to Kansas City from 1879 to 10
cents 100 pounds, and to Council
Bluffs and Omaha from 16 to II cents,
all lines meeting the new rates. The
Missouri Pacific reduced live stock rates
per car load, from Kansas City to st.
Louis, from S42 so to $50. The Chicago
lines followed with similar re-
ssS To IS cTEhls e Chicago OF fg amd
Alton put in 1O-cent grain rate to Chi
cagO from Kansas City, and 5 cents to
st. Louis. The Burlington & Northern
made the reductions from st. Paul to
Chicago the same as the Milwaukee &
st. PauPS reductions from Chicago to
st. Paul, cut Of IS per cent. The
Omaha and Council Bluffs lines pulled
down the rate on hog products to Chi
cagO from Is to Is cents, total de-
crease of 10 cents since Friday last.
The Minnesota 81 Northwestern cut the
rates to Des Moines, and the Rock
Island issued tariff making the rates:
flrSC class. 80 cents; second, ~; third,
"A; fourth, ~, and fifth, IA. The
old rates were: First class, 81,
second, Sc; third, 35; fourth,
rs cents, and fifth IS cents. Up to to-
night the grain rates from Council
Bluffs and Western Iowa had not been
disturbed, but officials are ofthe Opinio n
that they cannot be held up any great
length of time. To make things addi-
tiOnally lively the Milwaukee d St.Paul
this evening slashed once more at the
class rates, cutting them down just
cents all around. The new rates apply
to Council Bluffs, Omaha. Kansas City

tricts. The seat of the Northwestern
diocese will be continued at Alton. the
seat of the new Southern diocese will

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb. 6.-The
prOclamatiOnS of the sheriff and burgess
had their hoped-for effect in keeping
those citizens not of the Slavonic races
at their places of business or at their
homes. The best element of the Slav-
onics also took sober second thought
during the afternoon and remained away
from William Penn cOlliery and took no
part in any unlawful assemblage. To-
ward O'clock the bOlder and more UNI
ruly spirits walked down to the cOlliery
and gathered there in little knots along
the hillside and the roads. Capt. Chris
tian had six cars of his men on hand,
however, with their WincheSterS under
their arms. and when they disembarked
from their train and deplOyed along the
roads leading from the cOlliery to the
place where the colliery employees
either took the regular miners
would-be rioters realized that they
We're diStiEed to wage losing fight if
they attempted violence. When Sheriff
Ditfy and his posse also appeared along
the hill and ordered the police to dis
perSe, they gave up the contest and
yielded obedience. The workmen
passed them on their way home unmo-
Tested and the battle of law and order
was won without the striking of blow.
One powerful influence in preserving
the peace of the town this evening was
the calling of Polish meeting at Rob-
bins Opera house by Rev. Father Wa
He timed his meeting for 5 O'Clock, the
hour when the trouble would begin, if
at all, and he held his audience nearly
an hour and half, explaining to them
the tenor of the proclamations issued,
the results that would follow acts of
violence, and the future evil that would
be entailed on their cause as working
men. The priest is very popular with
the men, is master workman of their
assembly. the largest in town, and his
words impressed the men very forclbly.
