WASHINGTON, April 10 AT noon to-
day the pan American conference ad-
%iourned sine die. After the transaction
of some routine business and the adJp-
ton OF resolutions pledging the sympa-
thetic associations of the members of the
conference with the quadro centennial
celebration of the discovery of America
and expressing their gratitude for hospi-
tality shown, a motion to adjourn sine
die was made and put to a vote. Blaine,
rising to announce the result, said:
Gentlemen, | withhold for a moment
the final word of adjournment in order
that | may express to you the profound
satisfaction with which the government
of the United States regards the work ac-
complished by this international confer
ence. The extent and value OF all that
has been worthilY achieved by your con-
ference cannot be measured to lay We
stand too near it. Time will define and
brighten the result of your work. Ex-
p~erience will confirm our present faith,
and final results will be your vindication
and our triumphs."
If. in this closing hour, the conference
had but one deed TO celebrate we
should dare to can the worlds attention
to the deliberate, confident and solemn
dedication of two great continents TO
peace and to prosperity, which has peace
Tor lis foundation. We hold up this
new magma charta which abolishes war and
substitutes arbitration between the
American republics, the first and great
fruit of an international American con
ference. The delivery of the address was
characterized by Blaine's customary de-
llberate emphasis and also BY evidence of
deep feeling on his part. The members
of the conference then took carriages to
the executive mansion to pay their part
ing respects TO the president
The delegates were received by the
president in the east room shortly after
noon. The president spoke as follows:
Il find in this parting call of the dele
gates of a conference of American states
both pain and pleasure. | participate in
the regret which the delegates from the
United STATES feel who are to part with
those from other countries. | take pleas
ure in the knowledge of the fact that your
labors have been brought to a happy con-
clusion. | remark with pleasure the pro.
position which will be productive of peace
among the American States represented in
the conference. It will be without excuse
if one of them shall lift a hostile hand
against another. We gave you the other
day a review OF a small detachment of the
American army--not to show you that we
have an army. but that we have none
that our securities are lodged with our
people and that they are safe. In con
%clusion. | find much to approve in the
friendly purposes of the conference to-
ward this government and will bid each
of you a heartfelt good bye" Zap

Capt. Lcmuei Horton, of the schooner Ce-
ella, at st. John, y. b., has had an expert
euce with a humpbacked whale which he does
not care to repeat. He was bound from
Parrsboro TO st. John, and when OIL Quale a
humpbacked whale hove in sight. The cap
tain's attention was attracted TO it, not only
on account Of its great size, but because Of
the unusual sight Of such a whale in northern
waters. The whale. however, made at once
for the schooner, and began u play about it
as II it thought the vessel some sea monster.
1t then became aggressive, humping against
the schooner and causing a panic among the
crew. Repeatedly did it strike the vessels
hall in this way, nearly laundering the craft.
Capt. Horton tried to kill the animal, first
by boat hooks, then by shooting, but neither
availed. He then attempted to escape from
it, and a unique race between ship and whale
began. 1t continued two days, when they
reached st. John harbor and the whale gave
up the contest, returning to the open sea-
Captain and crew were both exhausted, none
of them having slept a wink during the time
they were try ing to escape from the whale,
which was ATTY feet long.-Philadelphla

LONDON, April During the debate
in the commons last night on the motion
ofSamuel Smith in favor of a conference
on bimetalism, which was finally rejected
by the house, Sir William Vernon Har
court announced that Gladstone did not
approve OF the motion. Balfour said that
though he adhered to the principles of
bimetalism. he thought it would be folly
for the government to 90 in advance OF
the educated commercial opinion of the
country and try to io:ce upon the nation
a currency in which the commercial men
did not thoroughly believe. Goschen,
chancellor Of the cxchequor, said he was
inclined to favor bimetalism, provided al
countries would permanently maintain it
under an international agreement.

New York, April l9.-An unusually
stirring scene marked the close of the run
of Shenandoah at the Twenty-third
street theater tonight. The house was
deliberately decorated and Gems. Sherman
and Schofeld occupied boxes. At the
close Of the third act a small regiment Of
volunteers from the Brooklyn navy yard
and local militia Joined the band aid
members of the company on the stage
and all formed one grand chorus singing
Marching Through Georgia." The re-
irain was taken up by the audience and

The story of the courtship of Gen. Crook is
romantic. Early in the war Crook. then a
captain, was stopping at the Queen City
hotel, Cumberland, Nd. He was there assist
ing Gen. Kelly in organizing regiments and
defending the state OF West Virginia from
invasion. Gen. Kelly was at the same hotel.
The proprietor of the house was John Daily,
who was also proprietor Of Glade's hotel at
Oakland, Md, n famous resort. Mr.. Daily
had two daughters, the eldest OF whom, Miss
Mary, was a charming and pretty girl. She
had southern sympathies, for her mother was
a member Of a notable old Virginia family
who lived at Moorfield.
During Crooks stay at the hotel he was
much attracted by the young lady, but she
was a spirited girl and refused to be gracious
to the Yankee, although at heart she liked
him.
The eldest of Boniface Daily's children was
n son james, who was devoted To the cause
of the Con:ederncy. He took ofrense at the
persistent and open attentions of Crook to his
sister, and finally organized a band Of about
fifty youns and daring spirits like himself
and saw that they were well mounted and
armed. When everything was ready about
u dozen of Dnily's band crept into the hotel
after midnight, seized Gen. Kelly and Capt.
Crook, gagged them, and in a few moments
they were all on their way to Richmond The
Federal lines were passed without detection,
and the prisoners were safely landed in the
Confederate capital. Afterward they were
exchanged.
Crook went into active service and was
badly wounded He was sent to Oakland
with other wounded officers, and singularly
enough was quartered at Glade's hotel. Miss
Mary then showed her true feelings, and
nursed her brothers late captive through
what at one time was Thought 10 he a fatal
illness. When he recovered he proposed. but
was refused, her political sentiment still being
In the aaCandant. Twice. after that the con-
queror Of Cochez and Ger0uim" attacked the

Labor Troubles.

PENSACOLA, Fla. April l9.-The strike
in Baldwin county OF the logmen against
tie Southern State Land and Timber
company Of this city is about to assume
greater proportions. The Florida execu
tive board OF the Knights of Labor or
dered a general strike against the COM
pany in this city, involving 1000 men,
unless they grant the demands of the

will shut down the mills for a year rather
than grant the demands.

CHICAGO, April 10. Contrary to ex
pectation the cArpenterss' strike was not
settled tonight. A conference was held
tonight between a committee of the
strikers and Of the new boss carpenters
organization. President O'Connell of
the strikers said 1t was a doubtful matter
as to the number Of men the new organ
Ization might employ. Even assuming
they could give work to 5000 men it
would be necessary, the strikers thought,
to increase the membership so as to put
at least 4. 200 men to work before a settle
ment could be reached. The bosses
finally resolved to proceed with the at
tempt to increase their membership.
President O'Conneil said il the bosses
could employ 1000 men the council had
places for at least 1000 outside Of the or
ganization and with 5000 men employed
they could afford to let the old masters
association slide.
