LONDON. April ia grand dinner
WAS given at the Merchant Tailors' hall,
to Mr.. William Henry Smith, the gov
eminent leader in the house of com
mons. Eoth politicians and business
men were present, and the latter
expressed the confidence of the city
of London in Mr.. Smith and his
ability to direct the interests of the
Tory majority in the commons. 1t ia
generally believed that this dinner, com
ing SO closely upon the announcement
of Mr.. Smiths intention to retire from
the house and take the higher, though
less prominent, seat that will be the re-
ward for his active party SER
vice, was designed to mark
the approaching step, and that
Mr. Smiths resignation of the Tory
leadership and acceptance of a peerage
will shortly follow. The dinner was
evidently organized with this object in
view. At present all indications point
towards Mr.. Balfour's succession of the
leadership. Four-fifths of his party arc

New YORK, April 11.-One hundred
and twenty men and boys employed in
Clark's 0. N. I. works in East Newark,
went on a strike against n Is per cent.
reduction in wages. Forty of the men
are the spinners employed in the factory
in Kearney and the others are their
helpers. There was no reduction in the
pay of the helpers and they were not
obliged to quit, but did so lest they be
compelled to take the %spinners' places,
new men being found to do the helping.
1t is thought that the strike will spread
throughout the mills and affect the 9. 1000
hands, as all are in sympathy with the
strikers. The trouble is attributed to
Superintendent Mamslee, a %Scotchman,
whose ambition seems to be to force wages
down to the figures prevailing in Scot
land. The strikers are orderly.

OZARK, Mo-, April II. The con
demned Knobber prisoners in the Ozark
Jail. John Matthews and Bill Walker,
have but two more days to live if the
governor does not interfere. THAR APP
pearance shows that they are badly
scared by the impending execution, and
have almost given up hope. 1t seems,
however, probable that the governor
will commute their sentences, as Repre-,
sentative Prather of fancy has secured
the anne of seventy five representa-
tives to a petition asking for a commu-
tation of the sentence. Public opinion
has undergone a great change here in
this case, and there are now but few
who oppose the Communication. Dave
Walker has a longer lease of life than
his son Bill, the supreme cour having
fixed May 10 as the day of his exscu-
ton. John Matthews bewails his hard
lot in being recaptured at the time of
his escape, and says if he could have
kept his direction they would W.
have got him. Wiley Matthews has
never been heard from by the officers
here since his escape on Dec. 20.

Alabama. 10 negroes would be ad-
mitted, nor any white man not IN
sympathy with the movement. 1t was
not intended t o drive anybody, white
or black, from the party. There was
no objection to the negroes organizing
their own league.
The committee on resolutions reported
a series OF resolutions, declaring that
the time had come for the Republican
party to organize on the issue of pro-
lection, and inviting all who believe IN
that principle to join in the movement.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. as was also a constitution for a
white Republican Tariff League" OF
the state.
The followers of DIR. r. A. Moseiey,
chairman of the regular Republican
central committee of Alabama, called a
rival convention. The negroes and
whites met separately. One hundred
and thirty negroes met in the X. of l..
hall, where speeches were made pro-
testing against the efforts of certain
white Republicans to exclude the negro
from the party. Resolutions were
adopted emphasizing the protest and
declaring that the negro constitutes the
backbone of the party in Alabama, is
now capable of holding office, and
ought to have some of the offices. A
committee was appointed to lay the res
olutions before President Harrison.
The conference of regular white Re.
publicans protested against the attempt
of the others and resolved to stand by
the negro and old Republicans. and is
| sued an invitation for the negroes to
| meet them in joint session.
The joint conference is now in session.
There is none of what are called Dem.
ocratic protectionists present at the
| white conference.

PiTTsBuRd, April REV. Sam Small
conducted one of the most exciting
temperance meetings of the prohibition
campaign in the old ME-. church. He
was denouncing the liquor dealers in
very vigorous terms as claw breakers"
when Jacob Keller, a wealthy wine
dealer, entered. .tHe is one of then,"
cried a man in the audience.
You're a liar" cried Keller.
The latter became very demonstrative,
and was finally elected from the church
amid great excitement.
Resolutions were passed requesting
the court to refuse Keller a renewal OF
his license. One old lady became so
much excited that she rushed UP to
Keller as he was leaving the church and
struck him in the face with her fist.

Leaving Winnipeg, it appears he went
to a point several hundred miles south
of Mackenzie's bay, reaching there by
dog sleds. From there he sailed down
the Porcupine river to Yukan, and
down it to Bristol bay. He is in that
vicinity now. The district through
which he travelled is to large extent
populated, and the gallant lord has
earned notoriety Al an Arctic traveller

attempted to arrest two men in that
place for stealing cutlery and revolvers.

DUBUQUE, Ia, April i1.-Judge Shiras,
of the United States district court, sent
a letter to United States Marshal Des-
mond, requesting him to make no more
evictions of river land settlers for the
present, as the secretary Of the interior
has requested the attorney general to
investigate the cases with a view to
bringing suit for the settlers if they
have been wronged. The judge thinks
that common courtesy demands that the
service of the writs be suspended pend,
ing the attorney generals decision, so
there will be no more evictions at pres.
ent, and no more trouble between set
tiers and the marshals is to be feared.

years ago the prince appealed to his
royal mother to make England's great
actor a knight, but she declined on the
ground that at that time he had done
nothing to entitle him to the distinction,
and further that she feared the action
suggested to her would not be %judicious.
as many held that she could not elevate
an actor by a title, and in attempting
to do 30 she might reduce the value of
all titles.
