Tho Interest In Her Coming Engagement
UnabRted-Crowded Houses Assured.
The interest in the engagement OF
Miss Minnie Palmer, who opens at the
Opera House tonight in the strongest
play she has ever had, "My Brothers
Sister," instead of tagging seems to
grow. The few spectators who in
spite of theprecautions taken to prevent,
managed to secure a few seats to resell,
made a fat thing Of it, desirable seats
for Friday night selling readily at S2 so
to 81. The seats in the gallery for to-
nights performance also sold well yes
terday. A number of eligible seats up
stairs remain, and those who buy early
to-day will be almost as well fixed as
those who got in the rush. The seats
for the matinee and night performance
tomorrow are not all sold, and those
left are fairly good. The matinee per-
formance will be the same play as to-
night, "My Brothers Sister" and each
lady in the audience tomorrow after
noon will receive n lovely souvenir. 1t
popular little comediennne is to be be
greeted by crowded houses, and the
wisest thing those who desire to see her
to the best advantage can dois to reserve
seats to-day, before they are all gone.
Miss Palmer and her company did not
come to Wheeling yesterday, as it was
thought they might. They will arrive
on the Panhandle railroad at 3:45 this
afternoon. An officer has been secured
here to meet at the train the detective
who travels with the comprny in charge
of Miss Palmer's diamonds, and accom-
pany him to the hotel.

INGALLS, GIVES NOTICE
That He Will Reply to Voorhees,

AN EXCITING TIME AHEAD.
The TariR Debate in the House of
ReprcsentatIves---A New Jersey
Member Strikes a Blow for
Protcction-C Capital Notes.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-At the con-
clusion of the morning business in the
Senate, the presiding officer, Mr.. Ingalls,,
took a position on the floor and said:
Mr.. PRRsIDEST-Shortly after the SEN
ator from Indiana, Mr.. Voorhees,, began
his speech yesterday, / was called from
the Senate 70 examine and sign large
number. OF enrolled bills for transmits
sion TO the President. l had supposed
from the notice which he gave that his
speech would be devoted to the subject
OF the tariff and finance, and was there
fore somewhat surprised this morning
to be advised by an item to the newspa-
pers that / had been the object Of the
Senator's animadversions.
A casual examination OF his speech
appears to me to disClsse certain omis-
sfons ON his part with regard to the re-
lation OF the Democratic party to the
subject of pensions-to the war for the
preservation OF the Union, to the recon-
struction OF the Southern States, to the
Solid South, to the recent election in
Louisiana and to the issues and results
Of the approaching campaign, which ap-
pears to me TO justify some observations
Of mine in reply. therefore desire to
give notice that on Tuesday next, az 2
o'clock p. M, il the Senate will indulge
me, / will move to proceed to the con-
sideration of the resolution TO refer the
Presidents message for the purpose OF
me to submit some remarks
thereon.

Tho Emperor,s condition.

LONDON, April 26.-Dr. Mackenzie
telegraphs to the British Medical Journal
as follows: The Emperor yesterday
took some solid food and enjoyed it. His
maximum temperature during the night
was 102. At midday to-day his temper
ature was 99.03. The discharge Of pus is
less, though rather thicker. His Maies-
ty feels better, but is weaker, owing to
the fever and discharge from which he
has suffered.
l1P. M.-During the day the Emperor
has been out OF bed four hours. His
temperature is now almost normal. His
sense Of taste, which he lost during the
critical period, has returned. Thisis re-
gardeded as an exceptionally favorable
sign. He seems better in every respect.
His appetite is remarkable. He has
again begun to hear State reports.

Remains the Same-AIr. Carnegie Desires
to Act Fairly.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, April $3.50 far as
appearances were concerned, the situa-
ton at Braddock to-day, was the same
as it was yesterday. Nothing occurred
to mar the calm exterior. Furnaces A
and B were turning out pig metal, and
large gangs of men were engaged in
placing the machinery in working order,
preparatory to active resumption in q
few days.
In an. interview Superintendent Jones
said: ave have plenty Of men to do
all the work we have now, and more
too; and when We are ready to start our
concerns, blooming and rail mills, We
have the men to operate them. 1t is
sure thing that these mills are going to
be operated, and not as Knight OF Labor
establishments either. Butif the Knights
OF Labor employees feel that they are in
any way humiliated by simply declaring
the strike off, Mr.. Carnegie may consent
to some kind Of a meeting in order to
remove feeling OF defeat; he is hui
name man."
The Rights OF Labor, it is said, are
preparing a new proposition to submit
to Mr.. Carnegie. In view Of the fact
that the South Chicago mill has within
the last four months accepted from 10
to IS per cent reduction, the men here
will agree to an average reduction Of Is
per cent, in the event OF Mr.. Carnegie's
Willingness to withdraw the sliding
scale ironclad."
Father Hickey, who was reported to
have gone to New York to visit Mr..
Carnegie, is trying to recover his health
by visiting friends in Butler county.
His nervous system has been sadly i'm
paired by the recent exciting events.
The report was current among the
Knights to-day that skilled labor from
Chicago, Joliet, st. Louis and other
Western points will arrive within the
next twenty-fonr hours. II this is true
the committee will wait on them and
seek to get them to return. II they re-
fuse to go the new workers will be taken
to the temporary boarding house fitted
up by the corporation and will be kept
there. To-day all the rifles and ammu-
milton belonging to the State militia at
Braddock were placed in the vault Of
the First National Bank.

PLINT GLASS STRIKG.
1t is Certain that settlement will not be
Made Until Fall.

It Is Certain that Settlement will not bc
Made Until Fall.
There will be no settlement OF the flint
glass strike until next fall, says the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette. The Confer
ence Committee of the Glass Nanufac-
turers Association met yesterday and
agreed to do nothing about the matter.
Yesterday was the day set to allow the
firesin the different factories in Pitts
burgh to go out If the workers had not
signed the manufacturers agreement.
AS the former did not comply with the
request several of the factory owners
gave orders 10 let the fires go out, and
the settlement OF the strike in these
houses is a thing OF the past this sea-
son. 1t would take two weeks to get the
pots heated before they could start, and
it is not at all likely they will resume
until next September. All the striking
glass workers are making preparations
for the annual summer fishing trips.
On account OF being idle they will leave
next month to be gone until the last OF
August. In the meantime should the
manufacturers want to settle the strike it
is not likely that the workers will come
to any terms with them until fall. If
they 90 away they will be in no hurry to
come back.

Special Dt.pateh 10 he IatelligAe1,
CHARLESTON, W. VA, April GA
desperate effort is being made here by
the Democratic schemers, through their
little henchman "Bill Dave" Gosborn,
to work up a big demonstration on May
Sd under the name of the Union Labor
party. The Knights of Laborand Trades
Unions are almost a unit against it,
knowing as they do that the scheme is a
Democratic job. Honest laboring men
in other parts Of the State ought to fully
understand the trick before they take
part in it. Democratic money has also
organized a few colored men, who have
been voting the Democratic ticket for
years, into an Independent Republican
Club" hoping thereby to make inroads
into the ranks of loyal colored Repub-
licans. The mask is too thin to conceal
the cloyen foot.
