No Settlement Yet.

CHICAGO, April 26.-The settlement of
the carpenters strike is still a problem Of
the future. The builders exchange today
declined to rece lie from the position not
to recognize the carpenters council and
it is expected that the Joint conferences
OF the various representatives was a fail
ure. The builders at a meeting today de
cided to complain to Mayer Cregler that
police protection was not afforded the nom
unionist carpenters who desired to work
and that unless more active measures were
employed an appeal TO Governor FIfer for
militia would be made. In a statement
to the public tonight the builders and
master carpenters say that while not
abridging the right of any member to
make any agreement he pleases, they will
not as an ASSOCIATION. BE a party to any
agreement that will deprive any employer
or employe from the right to EAR his
bread, whether or not he belongs to their
union or ours"
The gas filters went on a strike today
as had been threatened.

ST. LOUIS, April &c. additional adj
vices from Texes show tn at the great
raiustorm which prevailed during the
week has covered nearly all the northern
and western sections Of the state, reach
ing out as far as Big Springs on the Texas
4 Pacific, and almost in the Panhandle
in the northwest. Nearly a foot OF water
has fallen since last Monday and all the
rivers and streams are at food height aud
the country was practically inundated.
Five freight trains and one passenger are
laid up at Colorado CITY on account of
washouts. A part of Abilene is flooded
and a creek running through the town
has risen over twenty feet and people
living in the low lotions we're rescued
with difficulty. Trinity river rose twenty
seven feet and flooded large sections of
country. The bayous are also overflowed,
doing great damage. All roads in the
northern and western parts OF the state
have suffered from washing out of track,
culverts, bridges, embankments, etc, and
it will take several days to repair the
damage. The rain has been the heaviest
ever known in northern and western
Texas.

BERLIN, April 26.-The emperor has
telegraphed instructions to Chancellor
Won Caprivi regarding the attitude OF the
authorities throughout the country to-
wards the May day celebrations. Reports
from the ~populous ceuters show that the
authorities in some places are preparing
to suppress public demonstrations by the
use of soldiery. In other places they are
combining themselves to issuing warnings
against excess. The chancellor has made
arrangements to secure unity OF action
between authorities. Although it Is ex-
pected in official circles that the day will
pass over quietly, every precaution will
be taken for the prompt suppression of
disorder.
Socialist leaders here continue TO inhu
ence the men against a suspension of
work. Bebee Liebknecht, through the
central committee of the party, is actively
operating to prevent manifestations.
Nothing like a unanimous demonstra-
ton throughout Germany is now possible.
Large numbers OF workingmen are found
everywhere who differ with those desiring
to make a demonstration. The tendency
among workingmen in Berlin is to work
half a day on May |.
The socialists OF Hamburg, Altoona,
Leip ig and Frankfort persist in organlz-
ing demonstrations As the police OF
Hamburg prohibit public meetings the
trades have arranged for excursions and
rural sports where free vent will be given
to ideas regarding the eight hour work
day.
Labor agitation, apart from May day,
becomes more and more threatning.
The papers opposed to social reforms
point to the growth OF excitement am ing
workingmen since the publication OF the
imperial rescripts. AS the for
the emperor's journey TO Bremen ap-
p reaches the employees on the railroad on
which lie was to travel struck for higher
wages and men from other lines had to
work the trains Strikes that have taken
place here this week include shoemakers,
stone layers, coopers, screwmakers, fur
niture pOllshers, trainmen and box
makers, tinsmiths, locksmiths, printers,
machinists, coppersmiths and a number
of minor trades.
Reports from Frankfort, Breslan, FL
berfield and Hamburg show the strike
mania TO be universal. An ominous fea-
ture of the shoemakers' strike here has
been the issue of a violent manifesto in
which the existing social order is de
nounce1. The emperor's rescripts are
attacked as useless. Workmen, as the
dominant force, the manifesto says,
ought to overturn and ~renovat society.

Ia there much profit in the soda
water business2 Well, | should say
there is" remarked "A druggist. The
beauty of the huSiueSS is that the profit
is unlimited. You can make 100 per
cent. or loo, just as easily as not.
1t depends on your degree of honesty,
and how you regard the tastes and
stomachst Of your customers. If you
wish to retain their trade you will give
them a good article, profit 100 per
cent. if you cater for transient Gus
tom you make 1 1000 per cent. That is
the difference.
"Oh, well, now l don't care to give
away many of the secrets of the bust
ness, but | don't object to giving the
uuinitiated a gentle hint. | will say
that any reliable dealer can, for a
nickel a glass, give IA man real fruit
t~iavors, actual cream and high pressure
water, and still double his money.
Such a decoction per glass would cost
two and one-half cents, but | will
wager that the average soda water
that is drunk here or elsewhere doesn't
cost more than a cent, and sometimes
less than that.
'To begin with, a saving is often
made in lowering the pressure, and
the result is the water doesn't sparkle.
1t is insipid, and you instinctively feel
when you drink it that it lacks some
thing. Then the alleged fruit fiavors
are made out of cheap others and other
volatile substances. True, they are
not harmful and they can be guzzled
with impunity, but the delicate aroma
is not there and the cost is a trifle.
For a dollar a dealer can make a large
quantity of these cheap havors. Choco-
late is another article that is easily
adulterated. AS for the Saratoga wa
ters, they are frequently manufactured
in the cellar out of salts. '-Pittsburg
Dispatch.

the entire PARTY OF bailiffs and police,

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Repub-
licln senatorial caucus to consider silver
was in sessio / a long time this afternoon.
After adjournment it was announced that
the whole subject was again referred to
the caucus committee. who would endeav-
or to frame a bill acceptable to all. 1t Is
reported that while the differences be-
tween the silver men and the advocates
of the bill agreed upon by the committee
of the house and senate seem to be radi-
cal. vet an earnest purpose Is shown to
harmonic and, if possible, come to an
agreement. The silver men desire the
provision 10 the bill reported by the eau
Gus committee which gives the secretary
OF the treasury discretion to redeem in
bullion treasury no'cs issued in payment
for bullion, stricken out. They do not
wish to give the secretary the power
under any condition to pay out bullion
after once deposited in the treasury. This
view is supported by Evarts. The silver
men also desire u have the notes pro-
vIded for in the bill made full legal ten
der. but this is not INSISTED upon with the
same intensity and elrne5tness as is the
proposition to keep bullion In the treas
ury.

WASHINGTON, April &c. Allen Of
Mississippi, rising to a question of per-
sonal privilege, replied to the structures
in the press and the Pennsylvania Repub-
lican convention on a recent speech in
which he reflected on the integrity of
Senator Quay. He said it had never
been his purpose to begin an attack on
Senator Quay, and he had never done so.
In the heat OF debate, in reply to Cannon,
who arraigned the Democratic party be
cause it had a defaulting state treasurer.
he simply said the Democratic party
never elected them to the United States
senate or made them chairman of its
national committee. He did not know
Quay. but understood he was a man of
some good traits. He was no party to
any conspiracy to injure or defame him.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the legislative appropriation
bill.

Experiments have demonstrated that
the relation between the velocity of a
~projectile and the resistance offered by
the air to its motion differs materially
from Newton's theory that the resist.
ance is proportional to the square Of
the velocity. For velocities which are
nearly equal to that of sound in the
air the proportionate increase of the
resistance is much greater than that
of the velocity.-New York journal.

it as hopeless. Their counsel prevailed.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, April "a. 1890.
To the Attorney GeDeral-SIR: l
have had frequent occasions during the
last six months to confer with you IN
reference to obstruction offered in the
counties OF Leon, Gadson, Madison and
Jefferson, in the state of Florida. to the
execution of process of the courts OF the
United States. Ii is not necessary to say
more OF the situation than that officers of
the United States are. not suffered to ex-
ercise their lawful functions. This con
dltion OF things can no longer be tolerated.
You will therefore instruct United States
Marshal Weeks, as soon as he has quail
he'd, to proceed to execute such wrlts of
arrest as may be placed in his hands. II
he apprehends resistance be will employ
a civil posse as may seem adequate to
discourage resistance or to overcome il. He
should proceed with cnlmness and moder-
alton. which should always attend a pub
lie officer in the execution of his duty.
and at the same tina with fiirness and
courage that will impress the lawles. with
a wholesome sense of danger and futilize
resistance. You will assure officers OF
the law and those who have foolishly aud
wickedly set the law at defiance, that
every resource lodged with the executive
by the constitution and laws will, as
necessity arises, be employed to make it
safe and feasible to hold a federal com
mission and to execute the duties it i'm
poses. Very respectfully,
BENZ. HARRISON.
Appended to this is a letter from At
torney General Miller to United States
Marshal Weeks of Florida, directing that
