ishment. His condition ia critical. Prince
Bismarck left the palace at o'clock.
10P. M.-It Is still hoped that the EN-

alarming change occurred. Tho slight
nourishmsnt he was able to take seemed
to revive him.
Prince William remained at his grand
fathers bedside q quarter OF an hour.

where the Emperor's bedroom Is situated,
was all lighted up. A constant stream OF
military men and Government officials
passed in and out. The street in front OF

kidney affection, the Emperor ia alao sut-
fering from intense pain due to inhammG-
tion Of the parts affected by the rupture
which he suffered some time ago. Doctors

Emperor an Rssistsnt. The greatest ex-
element prevailed in the palace all day,
but to the general public little was known
until toward evening.
MidniRht-There has bsen no change
for the worse, but until now the Emperor
has been unable to sleep again.
The Emperor talked slittle With his aid
de.camp, but his mind wondered some
what. Itis stated that 1t Is impossible to
administer remedies and that his recoV-
cry depends upon his recuperative power.
The Emperor slept from four till five and
then ate some oysters, which did him
much good.

LONDON, March 7.-signor CriBpis in
situation that the riots at Rome were In
cited by parties hostile to the interests o
Italy-presumAblv commissioners Of the
Vatican and France-who scattered
money freely among the disconIented
laborers is rather incredulously received
here.
Neither the Pope nor the Republic ia
throwing away gold on such projects,
which might have been in vogue some
generations ago. The Government has
rid itself oi come SoClaliats whom 1t az
rested upon principle, probably, and
many workmeA whose homes are in other
parts OF italy have left the Eternal City
Tne serious failures which have ruined
some large contractors and cripped several
banks were the result Of over.done spsCu'
lations iossered by the real demsnds for
houses by the increasing population.
There WRs mn unreasonable ecrSmOle to
build, and the sudden panic which follow
ed, resulting in seTious, although, 1t is BE-

should have surprised no one.

sion 10 magnify the disaster, and succsed-

investors who Ietted snug sums by tha

everything Iialtsn which they hEVe en-
ltertained eiuce that nations alliance with
Germany, predict nothing lesa than bank
ruptcy for the country and comp!acently
remark that it is no more than could bO
expecIed OF q land which psTmits itgalt to
tbe governed by the wooden. headed Crlspl,
who has turned his back upon the natural
ally OF Italy and suders himself to be led
nv the nose by Prince Bismarck.
The "TribunR" Of Rome, retaliates by
saving that those who have invested their
money in erecting buildings in the capital
have at least the satisfaction Of seeing
something for the funds which they have
expended. They have solid brick and
stone structures as the result Of their
trouble and output, and i will rot bs long
before the tenementg will be In demand,
for, although the increase Of the city has
suffered o check, Its growth for the last ten
years has not been q phGntasn, and

THE STRIKE
SPREADING THROUGH THE
UNITED STATES.
Assuming Immense and Alarming
Proportions.
The Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers aud Firemen
Pledged to Stand by the EN-
plOyes Of any Road
In the Country who Desire to
Strike--A Critical Situation.

CHICAGO, March 7.-The full support o
the entire Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers and Flremen has been pledReC
to their members on any and all roadl
throughout the United States who deem
1t necessary to strike and formally decide
to do 80 in order to uphold their bIeth'
rem on the Chicago, Darlington & Quincy,
This information was obtained this even
ing on the best OF authority and was yerl.
fed through another source. It can also
be stated upon authority that the general
meeting OF the local grievance committees
OF the various roads held to-day, in each
case convened for the purpose OF discussing
the Advisability OF q. strike on
that particular road, and II nuch radical
step was not considered essential, the OBJ.
iect was to decide what measures in lieu
thereof should be adopted. The sane.
ton Of the general executive OF the
Brotherhood thus given in advance to
the strike OF the men on any road, was
secretly obtained at the conference OF the
General Grievance Committee OF the
Brotherhood held here Monday. It no
longer rests with Ohiet Arthur and sar.
gent to say that the men on any road,
should they strike, would be backed up
by the Brotherhood as q whole. The
men on any single railroad system, or
half dcIsn systems, have II now abso-
lutsly in their power nst only to say
whether they shAll strike, but also wheth-
er they shall strike with the whole might
Of the Brotherhood behind them.
That the men are not disposed to use
with undue haste tho Weapons in their
grasp may be partly inferred from the fact
that although several meeting were held
to-day, each clothed with complete au'
thoriy to declsts strike, affecting vast
stretch OF territory, no such declaration
had been made up to this evening.
Both the Northwestern aud the st. Paul
men will be again in session tomorrow.

Chief Arthur to make good his word and

the knights would not have gone West,
but would have remained in Philadelphia
