A STRIKE AT BUFFALO.
Carpenters and Painters Demand I'll
Nine Hour System.

Carpenters and Painters Demand the
Nine Hour System.
BUFFALO, April About 600 members
of the Carpenters and Joiners Union and
members of the Painters Union struck
work to-day. because the bosses refused to
allow nine hours as a full days work be-
ginning to-day. The bosses are willing to
conc de nine hours beginning June 1, but
not before Both striking organizations
have established headquarters. No dis
turbance Of any sort is appreheDded. The
bosses have not yet decided what TO do.
ST. LOUIS CARPENTERS STRIKE.
ST. LOUIS, April About 200 of 900
carpenters in this city went on "A strike this
morning. The causes leading up to this
action are tho demand Of the men for an
eight hour a day, and 40 cents per hour
as standard wages. The bosses seem to
have generally conceded eight hours day.
but are divided about wages, many of
them being unwilling 10 give more than
80 cents per hour. In addition to this
the men are much agitated over the fact that
the bosses perslstently ignore the Brother
hood of Carpe tiers, and they say they are
determined to have recognition as an or
ganization. w. Ii. kidver, vice president
OF the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners, has been in the city several weeks,
and has been active in working up the
movement. He will take charge of the
strike. The strikers met at the
Central Turner hall this morning
and appointed a committee to
look after the interests of the strikers. The
mon are firm in their position, and as tHe
boss carpente decline to recognize the de-
mands of their former employees, a bitter
struggle is probable. Work on a large
number of buildings has been suspended,
and there is much solicitude as to the out
come of the trouble.
THE UNION IN NEW YORK.
NEW York, April To-day the
Framers' Union submitted its agreement to
the employers in this city for an equalza-
tion of wages here, in Brooklyn and Jersey
City-an agreement binding the employers
TO pay 40 cents per hour for day work and
double price for over time aud Sunday
work. This was submitted TO the
employers who had not already
signed the agreement and is to be binding
until May /, next. About twenty-five Of
the largest shops have given in, but in
some shops the proposition was refused and
about $50 men went out. Reports from six
shops showed that the men lad succeeded
ip getting their demands The strikers are
confident as this is the busy season.
The German Painters' Union started to-
day their demand for a uniform rate of
g. 50 for nine hours work. OF |, 100 mem
bers Of the union, about 400 are now get
ing that figure. When the demand was
made to-day, over twenty employers re-
fused an increase and their meD went out
on a strike About 1870 men reported out
at noon and more were expected to follow.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The nomination
Of Ellis II. Roberts of Utica, leader of the
half breeds in the late Roscoe Conkling's
home, Secretary Blaine'S friend and Mr..
Conklings enemy, for assistant treasurer at
New York, with a salary of $4,000, was
talked about great deal this afternoon.
II Is as evidently the work of Secret tary
blaine as the appointment of Gov. Robert
son as collector eight years ago, and has
aroused much the same feeling in KIND,
though not in degree. When the stalwarts
around Mr.. Conklng's old home wrote to
indianapolis last summer before determin-
ing to support Gen. Harrison, to inquire
whether Secretary Blaine was to have a
controlling influence in the administration
should Gen. Harrison be elected,
they were given to understand that
ne would not, and upon this
understanding very generally supported
ten. Harrison, undoubtedly aiding his
election Before he has been in office a
month he has appointed the man who more
effectively served Secretary Blaine against
mr. Conkling than any other, and did it
Tght IN Mr.. Conkling's home. For their
comfort they are told that the stalwart ele-
HWent VIII be duly recognized in the New
York appointments.

CONGRESS OF THE CONTINENT.
Discussion in the Senate over the Pol
itics of Our Delegates.

WASHINGTON, April Quite a discus
sion was had in tho Senate to-day upon the
nomination of delegates to the congress of
American nations to ba held in this city
next fall. There was an objection to them
by the democrats on the ground that the
commission was almost unanl-
mously republican in politics, and
that if their report was to
have the weight before the country, and
with congress, it ought to have, there should
be a more equitable division between the
two parties. Senator Sherman, chairman
of the foreign relations committee, which
had recommended the confirmation of the
list, stated that three of the list-Messrs.
White, of Maryland; Trescott, of South
Carolina, and Hanson, of Georgia, were
democrats.
CLASSED AS MUGWUMPS.
The minority senators. however, insisted
that Messrs. Trescott and Hanson were
mugwumps, not democrats and should not
be considered as such.
Senator Sherman-Well, Mr. Hanson was
recommended by a senator from Georgia as
a good democrat, protection democrat.
To this specific statement there wsGno re-
sponse. 90"
Mr. Frye criticised the list of appoint
ments, saying that so far as he knew, with
a single exception, none OF the delegates
named ought to have been appointed. He
had been deeply interested in this subject of
a congress of American nations, and had
called at the state department and the
white house to urge the selection of dele
gates familiar with the subjects to be dis
cussed, but at neither place had he been
asked any questions. and accordingly had
made no individual recommendations.
HOAR EULOGIZES COOLIDGE.
Mr.. Hoar eulogized T. jefferson Coolidge,
the Massachuset.s g delegate, as a man of
ability, an author of note.
"And yeU," interjected Mr.. Frye, mo
more fit for place on the delegation than
the senator (Hoar) himself" Continuing,
he said there could be no objection to the
persons selected, on the score of ability.
They were simply not acquainted
with the subject in hand, or we're
not in sympathy with some of the OBJ
iects which it is desired to accomplish. He
said that William Pinckney Whyte was
opposed to paying subsidies to ocean steam
ship lines, being interested in the opera
tions of clipper ships trading with South
American countries, a statement which
Senator German is said to have confirmed.
The report of the committee went over
until tomorrow without action, by general
consent, there being no formal motion or
objection entered.

READINGS IRON WORKS.

The Trust Company Makes Arrange
ments to Assume Control.
READING, PA, April THE directors
Of the Reading Trust Company, assignees Of
the Reading Iron Works, met here this
afternoon, appointed committees, and made
other arrangements to assume formal con-
troll OF the concern. One Of the directors
said after the meeting that under no circum-
stances did he think the trust company
would continue the business OF tho iron
works. The company might, said the
director, work up the stock and material on
hand, but eventually the immense establish
ment would be sold TO the highest bidder.

ing Him Anyway.
WASHINGTON, April John Sherman
went up to the state department this morn
ing and told Secretary Blaine the whole
story of the Halstead episode, giving him
an account of what went on in committee
and in executive session. Secretary Blaine,
who is considerably disturbed by the action
Of the Senate, made memoranda as the
story proceeded and will keep his eye on
requests from those senators who opposed
MIR. Halstead. Secretary Blaine said, it is
stlted, that for his part he was in favor of
appointing Mr.. Halstead in spite Of the
Senate's action as soon as the Senate adj
journed, and giving him at least six months
in Berlin with his family.
TALKING OVER THE OHIO MEN.
Senator Sherman and Secretary Blaine
talked over the Ohio men who have been
mentioned in connection with this mission.
They agreed that it was unlikely that any
of them who was suitable would accept if
appointed. Senator Sherman is said to be
entirely willing to have Gov. Foraker ap-
pointed to get him out of the country. Gov.
raker being aware Of this, does not want
TO go, it is said Col. John Hay, who mar
red an Ohio woman, and so is reckoned all
Ohio man, is mentioned. Secretary Blaine
would prefer William Walter Phelps to any
one else, but President Harrison could not
appoint him without offending his friend,
ex-senator Sewell Of New Jersey. Secre-
tary Blaine's second choice would probably
be John A. Kasson, but he has no other
support.
