OF course, Karl Gardner packed this
amusement temple again last night.
Everybody expected to see a big audience
and sure enough such it was when the
curtain arose. and seats We're selling even
up to the second act. The company
played and sang chose who could, well,
and the entire performance was very
creditable, even the waSh-tub act, which
was not quite so broad as previously.
For a matinee today, the company
of ladies and children and those gentle
men who have hitherto been unable to
see "Fatherland." and still Others who
have seen it and wish to see it again.

CHICAGO, April % The lines laid
down by both sideE in the Carpenter
strike are well-defued and both sides be-
gan the struggle this morning. Nom
union men, in numbers larger than even
tie strikers care to admit, are pouring
into Ohiosgo and 1t is believed that the
master carpenters, anticipating the fruit
less conference OF Saturday, had agents
in other cities securing all the non union
carpenters they could find.
The strikers are viRilant, however, and
this morning captured large number Of
non-union men and induced them to re-
fuse to 90 to work. A boss carpenter
named Smythe attempted to put some
non-union men at work on a building on
North avenue, but the strikers drove the
men away. Chief Marsh says that non
union men will be protected in their
work II II takes the entire police force.
In the meantime the Boss Carpenters'
Association and the Carpenters' Council
are making arrangements to put 400 car
penters at work.
! Several minor points not yet settled
between the two associations have been
submitted to arbitration, but it IL not

will be set at work before the week is out.

A teamster in the employ of one OF the
largest contractors in Chicago was haul
ing some carpenters' tools this morning
when his team was stopped by gang Of
strikers. The horses were cut from the
wagon and the teamster dragged to the
ground and given severe beating. The
strikers then cut the harness to piece,
aud wrecked the wagon.

OF the directors OF the Great southern

their intention.
Archbishop Walsh has written letter

He also suggests that in the meantime q
conference be held between the directors

President Garrison has instructed
Attorney general Miller to notify United
States Marshal Weeks Of Florida that the
conditions which exist in Leon, Gadsdsn,
Madison and Jefferson counties cannot
be longer tolerated." Il il alleged, and,
we believe, admitted that in sections Of
these counties warrants Of arrests Issued
by the Federal courts have not been and
cannot be served because Of resistance,
actual and threatened, by those who are
threatened with arrest and by their friends.
In explanation OF this Editor Hawthorne
Of the Jacksonville Times Union says that
the rabidly partisan administration Of the
Federal courts for the past nine months
should bear the responsibility. Its policy,
as has been openly boosted by an officer
of the court, has been the persecution
OF Democrats 10 the bitter end" policy
which the United States marshal fol-
lowed up by ordering his deputy to select
for jurors only true and tried Repub-
LEANS" Under this infamous order a
grand jury made up Of ~ Republicans
out OF % members was empaneled; lin
dictments against Democrats for political
offences were then found by Wholesale
in many instances upon the most unre-
liable testimony, and the people gener-
ally were aroused to high pitch Of in
dignstion and fear; in cases that came to
trial the rulings of the court were often
partisan and unjust, and still the packed
grand jury kept on grinding out indict-
mems" Constitute a court 10 mets out
