A NOTE OF WARNING.
TILLERS OF THE SOIL CALL THE G.
O.P. TO ACCOUNT.
Be Deluded by the Ruinous Legislation
of the Party in Power.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Ralph Beau
mont, chairman of the national legisla-
tive committee of the Knights of Labor,
has written Major Mckinley letter
criticising the pending silver bill. Beau
mont says in part: "On what ground of
equity and justice does your party decide
to confer legal-tender powers to these
certificates for the purpose for which
national banks desire to use them, and
refuse the farmers and business men of
the country the same privilege?"
Beaumont then recalls the discrimina-
tion between the trade dollar and stand
ard dollar, and asks: "What is to him
der under this bill these same bankers
from discriminating against this note,
as it is only a legal tender for certain
purposes? This bill creates money for
the bankers and notes for the farmers.
1t is not notes the farmers are in need
of; they are already burdened down
with notes. 1t is money they want
with which they may liouidate their in
debtedness to their bondsmen. | insist,
sir, that if you, as leader of the House,
let this measure pass creating these GER
titicates, without conferring upon them
full legal-tender power to enable these
overburdened farmers to meet their OBJ
legations, you are guilty of committing a
wrong; and, mark it, it is one that both
you and your party will have to atone
for in the coming Congressional cam
paign. These overburdened tillers of
the soil are not to be trifled with. They
are desperate.
"You, as the leader Of your party in
the House, are on the point of pressing
a measure through the House known as
the tariff bill, which you say is to pro-
tect the tillers of the soil from ruinous
competition from abroad. Let me again,
| beg, warn you that since the last
campaign, which was fought out upon
this issue, these same tillers of the soil
have come to the conclusion that during
that campaign they were laboring under
a delusion, and have come to the further
conclusion that it is not from competi-
ton from abroad that they are suffer
ing, but OH the contrary it is from legal
discrimination against them in the in
terest of corporate wealth, by just @uch
unfair legislation as is contained in this
bill.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF HIMa
Gustave J. McGregor Disappears in a
Mysterious Manner.

Gustave j. McGregor, 20 years of age,
connected with one of the large whole
sale houses on Sutter street, San Fran
cisco, mysteriously disappeared and has
not been seen by any OF his friends since
II a. M, Monday, April 7th, at which
time he left the place at which he was
employed to go to lunch.
His employer states that the young
man is trustworthy, and is at much loss
to account for his disappearance as any
one else, and still holds the position va
cant should he return. His mother and
sister pray for his safety, as do his
friends.

He Looks Forward to the Good Time
Coming.
SCRANTON, Pa. April 80. - General
Master Workman Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, was asked by the
Associated Press tonight for his views on
the labor demonstrations throughout
the country tomorrow. Mr.. Powderly
said he had always favored an eight
hour law, although he was at times
opposed to methods advocated to bring
it about. The Knights of Labor had
also endorsed it officially. As he under
stood it,tomorrow' demonstrations were
to convince the public that the labor
element was greatly in favor of shorter
hours for toilers. 1t had been fre-
quently alleged that the eight-hour
movement was simply for effect, and
that the workmen did not really favor it,
After the demonstration of tomorrow it
is to be hoped there will be no untrue
charges of the kind.
Continuing, Mr.. Powderly said "You
will see that the eight-hour law is a
most righteous one, when you remember
that a man can perform between the
hours of and II in the morning more
labor with the implements of the pres
ent than two men could perform in two
days of ten hours each with the imple-
ments used forty years ago. However,
the solution of the whole problem will
come when the laborer shares the profits
of his toll. AS he will then be working
for himself, he can labor eight or ten
hours, as he may DESIRE"

HUNTINGTON's MANEUvERs.
The Southern Pacific Getting a Great
System in Oregon.

SAN Francisco, April 30.-A Chronicle
Portland special says G. P. Huntington
and party have left for San Francisco.
Before going the directors of the new
road held an election of officers. The
name Of the new corporation is the Ore
gonian Railroad Company; it's present
valuation is $1,0O0,0O0. The Off
GERS are: President, 7. f. Sullivan,
New York; vice-president, Richard
Koehler; secretary, w. w. Brotherton /;
treasurer, George H. Andrews; general
superintendent, G. N. Scott; engineer,
A. o. Eccleston. Work will be begun
at once to build line from Portland to
the southeast, eventually to tap the
present road at Silverton. The
west side lines will eventually
be changed to standard gauge,
thus affording the Southern Pacific
with the Corvallis Junction extension,
four routes from Eugene City to Port
land. The impression prevails that the
ultimate outcome of this purchase will
be the acquisition by Huntington of the
Oregonian Pacific, and connecting it
with transcontinental line, probably
the Northwestern, from the East to Port
land

PARIS, April 3O.-The authorities
throughout France are continuing ener-
getic measures to prevent disturbances
tomorrow. The police continue to arrest
anarchists. 1t is rumored that Louis
Mitchell has been arrested at LYONS.
Several papers state that the Duke de
Luyines will be arrested in consequence
OF the discovery at the residence of the
Marquis De Mores Of papers duplicating
him in the plot of De Mores and friends
to proclaim the Duke of Orleans King.
Mondaco, the private secretary of the
Marquis De Mores, has been released.
Two cavalry regiments have been sent
to Vincennes from Fontainbeu and
Melun.
The Project Of the Department of the
Rhone instructed the Mayor of LYONS
not to receive any deputation while dis
order prevails on the streets. The Mayor
therefore closed the town hall.
Another anarchist was arrested TODAY.
Floquet, President of the Deputies, in
structed the members of the Chamber to
receive deputations of workmen of not
more than five; no deputation from a
street assembly, however, will be re-
ceived.
In addition to the regular Paris gar
rison, which will be held in the barracks
tomorrow, eight cavalry regiments will
be placed at the disposal of the govern
ment of the city. These troops will be
stationed at President Carnot's resi-
dence, the legislative chambers and all
points where disorder is likely to occur.
Meetings on the streets will not be
allowed.
La France confirms the report that
the Marquis de Mores and other Royal
lists were engaged in plot to place the
Duke Orleans on the. throne of France,
and that warrant has been issued for
the arrest of the Duke de Luynes for
completely in the conspiracy. The Duke,
the paper says, has fled to Lausanne.
Louis Michel and three other anar-
chists were arrested this evening.
The police later arrested three Italian
! anarchists after a severe struggle, the
Italians defending themselves with
knives. One of the anarchists arrested
yesterday had in his possession mani
festo showing that he intended, with
friends, to sack shops and banks.
Fourteen hundred hawkers have been
arrested and will be kept imprisoned
till Friday to prevent their being en-
ployed and paid to engage in riotous
demonstrations tomorrow. The police
today seized 800 iron-tipped cudgels at
the Office Of the Journal d. 'Assout, and a
stock of revolvers and knives at the
house of socialist.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Tomorrow in
Chicago will witness huge demonstra-
ton of workingmen in the eight-hour
cause, under the joint auspices of the
Trades Assembly and Central Labor
Union. Some of the organized leaders
predict that fifty thousand people will
march in the procession, but this is
probably an excessive estimate. Con-
servative labor men say that at least
thirty thousand laboring men will be in
the line. About one hundred trade or
CARNATIONS will take part, besides
large number of miscellaneous working
men. The parade will form on the west
side and march through some of the
principal streets to the south side and
to the lake front, where it is proposed
to hold an enormous outdoor mass meet
ing with speakers stands at three diff
ferent points. Mayor Cregier and four
OF the county judges have been asked
to speak, but it is not yet known whether
they will do So
The novel feature of the parade will
be three or four hundred women
and girl tailoresses, who recently organ
lied for the eight-hour day. T,.oy
mostly work in small shops in the
northwestern section of the city. The
line will be headed by the carpenters
and bricklayers, of whom fully 10000
will march.
Mayor Cregier tonight issued a proc
lamation referring to the labor troubles,
and appealing to all law-abiding citizens
to cooperate in maintaining the good
name OF the city by preserving security
to person and property.

PACKING-HOUSE EMPLOYEES.
They Have Decided Not to Go on Strike
Today.

CHICAGO, April 3O.-Much uneasiness
prevailed today over the prospects of
big strike of the packing-house district
employees. All sorts of rumors were
rife, and it was stated in the evening
papers that the coopers, butchers and
laborers would surely strike. The heads
OF the big packing houses held meet
ing and resolved to pay no attention to
the laborers' demands. The coopers who
asked eight hours were informed that
the working hours could not be changed
now. Tonight fears of strike are in
a large measure quieted. The executive
committee reported to a mass meeting
OF the men, recommending the course
advised by the Federation of Labor, that
for the present the eight-hour struggle
be confined to the carpenters. There
was long wrangle, but the president of
the union said he would not issue strike
order. The indications are that there
may be number of sporadic strikes in
the packing-houses tomorrow, but no
general movement.

smashed. 1t was found necessary to
cut the Car in two under which Ormnius
was buried to get his body out. Ormnius

A. Diving PARTY.

This glance over the field shows how
uncertain is the hold of the Republican
party in the United States Senate. A
popular breath may overturn the edifice
of political power. in which monopoly
and wealth have intrenched themselves.
The Democrats have only to faithfully
adhere to their programme of policy,
without rushing into radical extremes,
and their complete victory in the near
future is certain. In view of the situa-
ton the forbidding methods for con-
trolling the United:States Senate are not
worth hall the trouble the Republican
politicians are giving themselves.
