BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. MAY 9 1890

made their demands which was for 8
hours as a days work. At the F. E. Rob-
erts foundry, it was said that the men
seemed anxious for either q strike or
a vacation, so the works have
been shut down till next Monday
to accommodate them and to
make repairs. Over 100 men are idle
here. Nearly all the molders at the Chi
cago Car Wheel company's foul d y are
out. The entire number of employees of
the N. K. Fairbanks Co., about $50, will
go out Monday. Coopers, numbering 80,
struck this morning. This is something
of a surprise, as the men employed there
are securing better wages than those
generally paid by large concerns. They
want eight hours work and nine hours
pay. The coopers are earnest in their
demands for eight hours, and in all por-
tions of the city men are quitting work
on the refusal OF employers to surrender.
In the northwestern districts Of the city
there is not one cooper at work. From
three to four thousand sash, door and
blind men walked out of the various fac
tories in the southwest districts
this morning. The action
was apparently without warn

of employment as usual this morning,
and, with only a few exceptions proceed
ed to work when the whistles blew. An
hour or SO later they threw down their
tools and quietly walked out, giving no
exclamation and without any sort of a
scene Four hundred men in Denman
& Dukes furniture factory struck for 8
hours this morning and seven hundred
employees of the Chicago Cottage Organ
factory did the same for like cause. The
board of arbitration chosen to settle the
differences between the striking carpen-
ters and the new bosses association has
been in secret session all day, and is un-
derstood to have made satisfactory pro-
gress. It was announced late this after
noon that 8 hours as a regular days work
had been agreed on.

BIOOdshed in Pesth.

PEsTH, May 1.-The labor demonstra-
ton has been marred by a scene of blood
shed. Early this morning a large num-
Der of workmen gathered in front of one
of the rolling mills. At first the men
we're orderly enough but under the in
element of agitators, they became
aroused and bitterly denounced the al
legged tyranny of their employers. FL
nally they lost all self control and en-
gagged in a 1iotous demonstration, which
the police we're powerless to quell. Mil
ltary assistance was summoned and a
body of troops promptly appeared on the
ground with fixed bayonets. The mob
was ordered to dispense and upon their
refusing to obey the troops charged.
The crowd broke and fled in all di-
rections, but not before many of the riot
ers had been pierced by the bayonets of
the soldiers. The mill where the trouble
occurred remains open and work is going
on as usual.

TO PROMOTE COMMERCIAL UNION.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Representative
Hit to-day, from the committee on for
eign affairs, reported to the house a SUBJ
stitute for the resolution referred to the
committee, "to promote commercial
union with Canada" Instead of repeal
ing the terms of invitation therein con-
tanned, the committee recommends as ex-
pressive of the friendly feeling enter
tanned towards our neighbors on the
north and our view of the mutual inter-
ests of the two countries, the adoption of
the following declaration of readiness to
take up the whole subject of commercial
intercourse whenever Canada desires to
have unrestricted trade between the two
countries:
Resolved, That whenever it shall be
duly certified to the president of the
United States that the government of the
Dominion of Canada has declared a de-
sire to enter into such commercial ar
engagements with the United States as
would result in the complete removal of
all duties upon trade between Canada
and the United States he shall appoint
three commissioners to meet those.
who may be likewise designated to rep
resent the government of Canada to con-
slider the best method of extending trade
relations between Canada and United
States and to ascertain on what terms
greater freedom Of intercourse between
the two countries can best be secured
and said commissioners shall report to
the president who shall lay their report
before congress. The report accompany
ing the declaration closes as follows:
The commissioners believe that the de-
alterations and action which would fol-
low the adoption of the resolution, and
d response to 1t in kindred spirit would
be productive of inestimable benefits
to all the English speaking race on this
continent.

Sudden Death of Senator Peck.

SANuOA ~o"O u NoA"tOI HoCAs
WASHINGTON, D. c., May Sat 4:3O
o'clock this evening Senator Harris
went to the desk of the presiding officer
and had him read the following bulletin:
"Senator Beck dropped DEAD in the Bait
more and Potomac depot" The an
nouncement caused a great shock in the
senate chamber, and Senator Harris
said: "In view of the sad news contained
in the announcement just read, I move
that the senate do now adjourn" The
motion was agreed to and the senators
gathered in knots to discuss the startling
event. Senator German, who succeeded
Senator Beck as chairman of the demo-
cratic caucus and who was verJ intimate
with him, remarked that the news was a
great shock to him, and continued: Gle
had been coming to the capital at inter
walls, and only yesterday I heard that he
had not improved much in health, OF
course we expected that the end might
come at almost any time, but that it
should come with such startling sudden
ness was not anticipated"
HOW 1T OCCURRED.
Senator Beck had just arrived on the
limited express from New York and was
accompanied by his daughter, Mrs.
Goodloe, wife of Major Goodloe of the
United States marine corps. He got off
the train with the rest of the passengers
and walked with his daughter the length
OF the platform entering the gate leading
to the station proper. He seemed to
walk with an effort and to breathe with
labor, but these symptoms were the usual
accompaniment OF exertlon with him for
some months past. After passing into
the station, the senator and his daughter
stopped and were Joined by his private
secretary, who had brought a carriage to
take them home. Very few words we're
exchanged with regard to the baggage,
when the senator suddenly turned pale

into the arms OF his companions. They
could not support his weight and he
dropped to the floor where he swooned
away. His daughter was naturally
alarmed and screamed for help. Willing
hands were near at hand as the station
was crowded at the time and the limp and
helpless body was borne into the office of
the station master, about twenty feet
away. Great excitement ensued and al
though it was apparent that the senator
was dead, half a dozen messengers were

but to no effect. Death resulted from
paralysis of the heart. The news was
telegraphed to the capital and subse-
9uently spread like wildfre, to all sec
tions of the city. Representative Breck-
enridge, Caruth, Stone and others of the
Kentucky congressional delegation re-
pared to the station at once and arranged
for the removal of the remains to a more
suitable place.

Numberless Strikes,

CHICAGO, May 2.-The threatened
strikes in this city, which may be said
to have technically begun on yesterday
when organized labor took it's holiday,
we're not made apparent until this morn
ing, when the men failed to resume work
at many shops. Black road, in the vicin-
ity of the Mccormack reaper works, had
much the same appearance this morning
as it had four years ago to-day. None
but strikers could be seen, and they had
entire possession. Every man, boy and
girl employed in the malleable iron
works, corner Tw%enty-sixth and Rock
we'll streets, is out. The total number
of employees is 1900. Among them are
fifty girls employed al core makers in
the foundry. No particular reason was
assigned by the men for quitting work.
A committee consistingof two men from
each department was appointed last
night to wait upon the officials, but they
seemed disinclined to go before their
employers and make a statement. Presi-
dent E. P. Bailey called the strikers
about him and upbraided them for going
out without notice and told them that
when they found out what they wanted, to
let him know their demands. The men
seemednot to know what to say in reply.

ers went out but work was progressing
as usual. One hundred and fifty men in
the foundries of Barnum & Richardson
and a like number in that of the Ajax
Forge company went out, and those con-
Germs are closed. As elsewhere no for
NAL demand was made on employers. At
the Chicago carworks foundry and the
Wells & French car company, most of
the moulders also went out. At the
Wells & French car company's shops
every one of the 1000 employees went out
and the shops were closed. Two hum
dred blacksmiths were the only ones who

Connors Defeats Haley.

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 3.-The prize
fight between James Haley of New York,
and James Connors of Buffalo, cham
pion light weights, tipping the scales at
1923 pounds each, for a purse Of $1,000,
before the Savannah Athletic club, re-
suited at midnight in q victory for Con-
nors after twenty-three rounds. Haley
was the favorite in the betting, but Con-
nors proved much the better man in the
ring and forced the fighting all the way
through, though not in al prime condi-
ton as his opponent.

No Strike in the Packing Houses,

CHICAGO, May Following the nom
action of the packing house laborers,
union last night on the question of strik-
ing, everything was quiet at the stock
yards to-day. Fowlers' establishment
was closed because of the death in
Europe Of VIM. Fowlers, a member of
the firm. The international, on account
of repairs was, closed too, but Armour's
was running full blast with nearly 5000
at work and not even a cooper missing.
All the other establishments were also
doing business with a full force. About
100 police officers were scattered about
through the district but there was no
call for their services.

CHICAGO, May IA strike of the
miners throughout northern and middle
Illinois coal fields was decided upon after

Returned their siIcott Money.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Congressmen
Sayers of Texas, and Bland of Missouri,
have returned to the treasury depart
ment the drafts made out in their favor
for the money they lost through the de-
falcation of Silcott, and it is understood
others will follow their example. This
action is taken on the ground that the
house should not have voted to repay its
members for this stolen money. It is
understood that these members hold
that the only money they were entitled
to was their prorata share of what re-
NAMED in the safe and that they will not
take q sum in excess of this amount. "

Youngstown Mechanics Happy.

CLEVELAND, May 1.-The workingmen
of Youngstown are all happy tonight.
Painters, plumbers, b%ricklayers and ma
sons we're all granted an advance and
will hereafter work but nine hours per
day. Fourteen contractors have signed
the carpenters scale providing for nine
hours a day, and it is thought all others
will do SO. J%ourneymen tailors have al
80 secured an advance in wages and re-
turned to work.

Meagre Demonstration in New You K.

New YORK, May New York City's
end Of the world wide labor demonstra-
ton tonight was not a great success so
far as the numbers who paraded and who
attended the Union Square mass meeting
was concerned. The threatening weather
may have kept many away. Probably
not more than 1900 people we're at the
speakers stand at one time. In the pro-
cession that preceded there we're about
1000. There was not the meeting that
laboring men expected and there was a
want of enthusiasm.

IMPORTANT LAM DECISION.
The commissioner of the general land
Office, in Adhesion rendered to-day holds
that moneys paid by public land entry
men to receivers at local land offices in
their official capacity are, as soon as paid,
public moneys within the intent of the
law and such payments are held to be
payments to the government. In the
case in point, a receiver, Fred W. Smith,
at Tuscon, Arizona, absconded with a
large amount Of money paid to him by
entyrmen upon making their final proofs.
The decision of the general land office
heretofore has been against the allow
ance of entry when money is paid to a
defaulting receiver befor the entryman
is compelled to make his final payments
when his proofs are offered. In many
cases several months elapse between the
final payment and the delivery Of the
final receipt, owing to the inability to ex-
anime and pass upon the proofs. About
116 similar cases now pending in the gen.
eral land Office will be allowed under this
decision.
