OTTAWA, March 26.-Hon. William Foster,
minister of finance, has the following to say
regarding the decision of the dominion gov
ernment to resume the issue OF fishery licenses
under the modus vivendi: "The government
has come to the conclusion to keep the modus
vivendi for another year. Last year closed
with President Cleveland's threat OF retalia-
tion, and we had no intimation as to what
would be the course OF the incoming presl-
dent The modus vivendl was Kept In force
last year with the cooperation OF Newfound-
land, and all licenses granted under 1t expired
at the end OF the year. The fishing season
will not begin until the latter part OF March,

THE ANTI-PINkERToN LAW.

Its Constitutionality to Be Tested if an
Attempt Is Made to Enforce 1t.
TRENTON, March 26-Now that the legis-
lature of New Jersey has placed upon its
statute books law which prohibits the en-
ployment of Pinkerton detectives for the
purpose of guarding the property of persons
or corporations whose employees are on strike,
question as to the validity of the law has
arisen, and there Is no doubt of its constitu-
tionality being questioned the first time its
provisions shall be enforced"
Capt Linden, superintendent of the Pink
erton forces in Philadelphia, said: "The law
is not just one, and doubt if it will hold
water. 1t is evident that the bill was intro
duced on account of the strike on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad at
its Jersey City terminus about two years
ago, when boy was said to have been
killed by one of our men. Its object is, of
course, in case of a strike to compel the au-
thorities of the county in which it occurs to
swear in residents as deputy sherifs to do
duty in place of PinlSerton men.
"Now, there is always great deal of SYM
pathy with strikers in the community in
which they live, and it is difficult matter
to find an impartial body of men to do police
duty. 1t is on this point that the new law
is in variance with common reasoning, be-
cause man or corporation has perfect
right to employ whomsoever he or it pleases
to guard property. do not believe the law
will be enforced"

The Terrible Crime of B1oodthirsty
william in West Virginia
BALTIMORE, March 26.-The Suns Charles
ton CW Va.) special says Information has
reached here that last Saturday Thomas
Woods, who lives on Donnelly's Fork of Mud
river, in Lincoln county, near Tornado post
office, sent word to his stepmother, Mrs.
Woodson Woods, that one of her neighbors
across the hill was sick and wanted her to
come Immediately. He concealed himself be-
hind tree near path to await her coming,
and when she approached stepped out and
fired pistol full at her breast, the bullet
taking effect just below the nipple She fell
to the ground To make sure of his work,
Woods shot her again in the neck, and after
ward dragged her to cliff near by and
dropped her over it to the rocks below.
Shortly afterward the woman recovered
sufficiently to give an alarm, which was
heard by men getting out cross ties, who
went to her assis tance, accompanied by
Woods, who professed entire ignorance OF
the matter. She was conscious and related
the story of the shooting, accusing Woods OF
being her assassin. When she had finished
her narrative Mrs. Woods expired. The only
known cause for the crime was a disagree
ment between Woods and his stepmother
about the division of property belonging to
his father. Woods is now in jail.

An Acknowledged Bankrupt.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 26.-An inter-
esting question of who is to pay is likely to
come up out of the transactions of Patrick
Fleming, Of this city, who has been engaged
in the hay business for two years through
the Banque du People and the Merchants
bank, both Canadian institutions. Fleming's
acceptances during this period had been dis
counted by these banks and they trusted
him literally, but he failed to meet the drafts,
which have matured within week, and the
bank officials have been looking for him. The
amount due the banks is about $40, 200. The
method was for Fleming's partner in Canada
to draw on him for ten or twenty days for
the price of the hay and the two banks would
discount the drafts, and everything went
smoothly until recently, when Flemings
note went to protest, and now it appears he
has only $125 on deposit He says he is bank
rupt to the amount of $4,000. He offered
five cents on the dollar. The banks refused
this and Fleming has left town. The bank
officials have learned that the railroads have
permitted Fleming to take the hay shipped to
him without showing his bills of lading.

The Fall River Strike.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March ga much
larger number of looms are now running
than at any time since the beginning of the
weavers' strike. The Union reports heavy
gains, the Durfee claims more than at any
time since the strike started, and most of the
other mills undoubtedly have largely in
creased number of looms in motion. In all
nearly 5000 of the looms are being cared for.
Enough weavers appeared at the Flint mills
to work 165 looms, but the agent refused to
start up until enough weavers to care for $50
looms applied for work About thirty-five of
the Pocasset mill weavers went to the mill
yesterday to work, but the threatening as

THE READING IRON WORKS FAILURE.

Extravaganza and High Salaried officials
Help to Pull the Concern Down.
PHILADELPHIA, March 26-The Reading
Iron Works failure is one of the worst which
has occurred in the iron trade for years, and
the concern is now in a decidedly perilous
condition. Among iron men the opinion pre-
walls that unless prompt action is taken the
creditors will get little or nothing.
The plan of reorganization prepared by
Director George F. Baer is said to be imprac-
ticable and it is not likely that the creditors
will adopt it. Most of the creditors are op-
posed to a reorganization, and the only way
to get any money out of the concern is to ap-
point a receiver 1t is believed that this
course will be adopted.
The concern has been very extravagantly
managed, and vast sums of money have been
wasted in recent years. The salaries over
1000 amount to nearly 100000 year.
Nearly all of this sum could have been saved,
and will be saved under an economical re-
ceivership E. w. Colt, the president of the
company, has been getting $4,000 year, and
Frank Ralston, the secretary, $4,000. There
are number Of other high salaried officers,
and the enormous obligation of nearly $780,

An Embezzler Murders His Wife and
Children and Makes His Escape.
GUELPH, Ont, March CIV. H. Harvey,
bookkeeper for J. w. Lyon, and at one time
accountant for E. R. c. Clarkson, of Toronto,
was arrested yesterday morning, charged
with embezzling $4,000 from his employer,
and was shortly afterward bailed out by DR..
Lett. During the forenoon Harvey pur-
chased revolver The chief of police had
occasion to visit Harvey's residence during
the afternoon, and found the house closed.
Forcing an entrance he found Harvey's little
girl of IL years lying on the floor of the front
bedroom with her head in pool Of blood. A
bloody hole in her head told the means by
which she had met her death. Turning from
the awful sight he found the eldest daughter
lying beside a bed dead. The chief then
went down stairs and found Mrs. Harvey
with similar bullet wound. Further search
revealed nothing more, and no clew was
found to the triple murder. Harvey was
seen driving toward Schaw Station, and it is
thought he took train for Toronto. Harvey

CHICAGO, March 27.-Fire was discovered
in the Central Storage company's huge six
story and basement structure on the north

o'clock yesterday morning. In a very short
time the fire had burned through the build

finding ready food in the piles of furniture
and other infammable material with which
the great building was filed. The schooner
Waukesha took fire, but was quickly put out
of danger The Galena elevator, situated a
short distance to the west, was ablaze twice,
but the firemen put it out The origin of the
fire, according to the alderman, was in
cendiary.

house burned yesterday morning, estimates
the total loss on building and stock at about
81, 100000 The bulk of the stock was car
ried by about dozen firms in this city, and
consisted Of general merchandise, but chiefly
of tea and coffee.

BROOKLYN, March 27.-Fire destroyed the
aour story brick factory building No. 1913
Kent avenue yesterday afternoon, and led
to the injury of number OF men and girls
employed there The first floor of the build
ing was used as an axle factory by Frederick

mier & Stoatz as brass foundry. On the
third and fourth floors thirty-fve men and
twenty-five women and girls were employed
by Alfred E. Overs in the manufacture of
shoes.
The fire broke out in the lower part
of the building, and spread SO rapidly
that the only stairway leading to the
third and fourth floors was in flames before
the shoe factory employees could make their
escape. They ran to the rear windows and
jumped to the roof of an extension to the
building about twenty feet below them.
Nearly all of the girls and some of the men
who jumped were more or less injured, and
