pointment by republican admins

Mr.. Tucker, as a partisan democrat,
to accept it. There are many reasons
that can be urged against his ap.

DISCHARGES AT B. & o. SHOPS.
There is a rumor current on our
streets, and we do not vouch for its
truth, that Che discharges made at the
Machine Shops by Master Mechanic
Marstella, always strike the repub-
iican employees. We hope the rumor
is not true. such a course would be
foully wrong from any stand point,
and if it be true, then, Mr.. Marstella
is unified for his position. The Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company
is not engaged in politics so far as
we know. II is due TO Mr.. Marstella
that he should hear Of this rumor
that It may be corrected if erroneous,
and it is due to the Railroad Com
pany to have an investigation BY IN
interview with the men discharged.
and ascertain if they are all republi-
cans, and ESQ, why they alone should

the Company that some OF the men
discharged are among the best, most

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Declaration OF Principles Adopted
Last Evening.

At special meeting of the Central Labor
Union held last evening the following de-
claration Of principles. together with con-
stitution and bylaws, were adopted:
1-While we are opposed to entering any polIt-
ical party as body, we declare it our duty TO use
our Influence with the law-making power to Sc
cure the following or similar beneficial objects
The regulation Of the employment OF Children SO
that no child under is shall be employed In work.
shops OF factories; the adoption OF proper laws,
regulating the hours constituting days work
for women and children, and for city, town, State
and national employees; efficient and honest fac
tory inspections; reforms in prison labor, so as to
prevent the products of the convicts coming into
competition with honest industry; a proper and
e1ectlye employers liability act; law providing
for the pernissive Incorporation Of labor societies
law tor free and secret ballot. and the aboli-
ton Of the poll tax.
2-We declare it the duty of every workingman
to use bis utmost endeavors to secure the anchor
alton OF the condition Of the laboring classes gem
orally, and to accomplish this We believe that a
Central organization should exist, whereby all
divisions OF labor may prove allies to any partic-
uar one that may be oppressed by capital.
S-We hereby pledge ourselves to assist each
otner In securing far wages by all honorable
means. and we shall withdraw all patronage from
any unfair employe.
1--we declare that all existing beneficial labor
requiring compulsory education Of children, and
we pledge ourselves to take such measures as
VIII secure such enforcement.
6-We are in favor Of arbitration upon differ
ence between employer and employed
6-We favor the self-employment OF labor by
cooperative association, as a complete indepen-
dence can only be obtained when the worker Is no
longer dependent on other individuals for the
right to labor and especially do we recommend
that whenever strikes become necessary that an
aggressive resistance be made by the employment
OF the funds OF our organization In productive CO.
operation.
I've pledge ourselves to aid in the adoption
OF Union labels for all Union made goods by our
patronage, and that 1t behooves the duty OF or
ganized labor to patronize such products that
bear the label of Organized labor

The Town of Guthrie Mapped Out
Ahead of Time.

New YORK, April pa special to the
Tribune from Guthrie, Oklahoma, SAYS:
"Guthrie was reached at O'Clock. Here
and there on the way man was seen driy-
ing stakes and turning the sod. This was
an hour after noon at least II miles beyond
the border How did these men get there9
Perhaps they broke through the lines In the
night or were some Of the old Payne boom
who have been hiding in the woods for a
year or more. In either event they were
there contrary to law. The worst offenders
against the law were met with al Guthrie.
When the train arrived we found the land
adJoing the station staked out and
at least 800 people occupying It,
These people had a meeting in the
morning and adoped town map. They
decided on the names Of two streets, one
running North and South to be named Har-
rison avenue, in honor Of the President, and
the other Mumford avenue, in honor of tho
editor Of the Kansas City Times, which has
for many years made the cause of Oklahama
and the boomers its own. In these proceed
ings the deputies OF the United States mar
shal and the marshal of the United States Dis
trict and Circuit Courts In Kansas are said to
have taken leading part. If such should
be the case, 1t is an outrage on those who
obeyed strictly the letter as well as the spirit
Of law, for all were left out in the cold. The
crowd which jumped from the train long be-
fore 1t came TO stop, rushed wildly up the
hills with stakes, flags and axes In their
hands ready to locate claims. They found
not only corner lots bat the whole
streets and sections occupied by people who
had, by some means or other, secured the en-
try to Oklahoma. IL took place right under
the nose Of the military authorities stationed
at Guthrie and within sight of their camp.

BRAVE YOUNG MuRRELL.
Philadelphia LIonizes the Captain
The Death of Engineer Kaas.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Capt. Hamil-
ton. of the steamer Missouri. is being lion
lied considerably for his gallant rescue Of
the Danmark's passengers and crew. AS
the steamer came up to the city she was sa-
luted with whistles Of all kinds. and just be-
fore reaching the pier a florists agent board
ed the ship and presented Capt. Murrell, on
behalf of several prominent ship owners
and citizens, with handsome floral ship;
the hull and rigging being composed of pink
roses on a sea of evergreen, and trimmed
with silvered sails. Tomorrow, at noon, by
invitation OF tthe Maritime Exchange, he
Will hold public reception at their building
and tomorrow night he will be an honored
guest Of the Sons of st. Geoage. Capt. Muir
rell Is put - years old. and has commanded
successfully the Surrey, Michigan and Maine
Of the Thingyalla line, and been remarka-
Dly Tree from mishaps in his career as mas
ter.
The final leave taking between Capt. MUIR
rell and the passengers OF the Danmark was
affecting. AS the passengers left the steam
er, they were conducted to an immense table
in the Red Star line shed, where they were
fed with many good things. and were pro-
yided with accommodations until tonight
Pennsylvania railroad conveyed nearly 800
towards their destination in the West and
Northwest. The remaining 65 or therea-
abouts, destined for points In the East also
left tonight over the same line.
Little Is known about the death of En-
gineer Kaas Of the Danmark. The most
plausible and most generally believed theo-
ry Of his death Is that when he found the
shaft broken, and with every revolution tear
ing larger hole in the Danmark's bottom,
he made an effort to turn off the steam In or
der to stop the machinery. Perhaps, in an
unguarded moment, or a moment Of excite
ment, or becoming bewildered, he caused the
accident which cost him his life. Whether
the explosion of steam pipe or the fast re-
volving broken shaft is responsible for 1t,
ries are told by the shipwrecked passengers,
all Of one tenor, and full of praise for the
GOODNESS, bravery and kindness Of their own
and the Missouri's officers.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ZIG-zAG.

Zig-Zag is one Of those sketches that have
become very popular on the stage, because
they introduce a number of good looking
girls in specialties that serve to present them
most attractively, because there is good
deal of catchy music to be heard, and be-
cause, in the Turkish boudoir scene, there is
a very pleasing feature, the minuet danced
by young women in white against back
ground Of black portieres. Miss Anna Boyd
and Mr.. Samuel Reed are the two on whom
the weight Of the piece falls, and they fully
come up TO the mark. The rest Of the COM
pany are actors Of repute, and the large au-
dience last night roared, and shouted, and
applauded, calling the curtain every time
