WESTON, w, Va, April IA re-
markable condition of affairs has been
brought here by the recent election. "a
month ago a prohibition council and
mayor were elected. Their refusal to
grant liquor licenses cut down the esti-
mated revenue for the year nearly so
per cent. The town has made contracts
for lighting and improvements, and the
prohibition council foresaw heavy de-
flict. The council has resigned and the
town is without government and with
out revenues. Meanwhile the sale Of
liquor goes merrily on.

A BIG STRIKE ON.
Fourteen Hundred Men Strike In New
York-Thirteen Trades.

Fourteen Hundred Men strike In New
York--Thirteen Trades.
New YORK, April i4.-The first of the
expected series of strikes among those
employed on buildings in this city began
Friday with a strike of 1 400 men, the
large majority of them quitting work
out of sympathy for the housesmiths
union. The trouble began on Tuesday,
when fifty housesmiths employed by
Paulsen & Eyer, iron work contractors,
with shops in Williamsburg, went on a
strike on the Pulitzer building to force
the firm to employ only union men in
its shops.
Thursday afternoon an agreement was
signed with the union granting its walk
ing delegates the privilege of entering
the workshops and inspecting the union
cards of the men, and consenting to em-
ploy none but union men, at the union
rate of pay, for nine hours work day,
The walking delegates claim that the
agreement has not been lived up to. and
at p. m. Friday | 400 refused to work.
Thirteen Trades Involved.
The men who are on a strike are
members of the housesmiths, plumbers,
RHbUuUeIS, pOettllilbbCio, SAi PNiUN"Ni
stairbuilders, painters, varnishers,
marblecutters, engineers, electric house
wire men, tilelay ers and framers'
unions, and nearly all work on the
Pulitzer and many other buildings IS
stopped. 1t is feared that the strike
may reach large proportions.
About Half Resume.
Nearly half of the men who struck on
the buildings in which Paulsen a Eyer
have been putting iron work resumed
work Saturday morning ON understand
ings with the contractors. No worker,
however, in iron returned.
Not on the World Building.
The new World building in which 500
men were employed is the only excep-
ton. Work would have been resumed
here among the iron workers if the con-
tractors had agreed that only union
men would be employed. The contract
ors of the Union Trust, Lancashire,
Brown Brothers, Mechanics bank and
Orient buildings agreed to employ none
but union hands at union rates, and all
but the iron workers were busy in these
places Saturday.
None of the iron workers employed by
either Paulsen q Eyer or j. b. a j. nj.
! Cromwell were allowed to work, al
though there is no grievance against the
latter firm. The loss of Paulsen q Eyer
ON the Union Trust and the Lancashire
buildings will not be much as they are
nearly finished, but their loss will be
quite large on the other buildings.

AYpRANTs oLoeeEp WITH MUD.

A Large Wagon Works Hurned at TiHin,
O.-Water Works Useless.
TIFFN, o., April 14.-The O'Brien
wagon works, large three-story brick
structure, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour Saturday morning, involving
a loss of $4,000; insured for $32, 900.
The first alarm was turned in at 4:30
quickly followed by a second and gen
eral alarm, but, owing to the hvdrants
being clogged with mud, no water could
be thrown until the fire was beyond
control. Nothing was saved except a
few unfinished wagons. Seventy five
men are thrown out of employment
and the probabilities are the factory will
not be rebuilt.

Bold Cattle Thieves.

FORT DODGE, Iowa, April 14.-Ihe
boldest cattle robbery ever perpetrated
in the state, has just been discovered in
the little town of Aurela, west of here.
Twenty head of cattle were taken from
the herds of two farmers, named Ruth
erford and Green, in the middle OF the
night. The cattle were openly driven
across the country seventy miles to
Onawa, where they were sold to cattle
butcher and shipped to Chicago. The
buyer is unable to identify the men, and
the thieves will probably escape.

African Affairs.

LONDON, April IA considerable con-
troversy has been occasioned by Sir
Samuel Bakers letter to The Times on
African affairs. OF course, Sir Sam
uel is an authority on Africa as it was,
rather than Africa as it is, but his dec
laration that the Germans or the ltal-
ians, or both together, will soon get
possession of Khartoum, the place that
England miserably failed to relieve
when the life of Gordon was at stake,
revives that dis@aceful attempt, and if
his assertion proves to be true, there
will be rare commotion in the war de-
partment.

WHY THE GERMANS HATE STANLEY

His Proposition to Emin Pasha Was In
the Interest of the British.
LONDON, April IA There is a strong
feeling in Berlin against Stanley, which
is very natural since his relief expedi-
ton was undertaken in England's inter
est. The German East Africa company
claims to be informed that Stanley's
proposition to Emin was to collect forces
and go and establish himself and found
stations in Kavirondo, while Stanley
would bring two steamers from Nom
basa and join him in an expedition to
conquer Uganda and Unyoro, and Gre
ate them provinces Of an equatorial do
minion, Of which Emin, with princely
salary, should be ruler, in the service of
the British East Africa company. Rail
ways would be built from the coast
through the dominion, connecting with
the sources of the Nile. A scheme that
would, if carried out, have ruined Ger
many's commercial hopes in Africa.

REPUBLTCANISM
Likely to Be Given Another Trial
by the SpaniardS.
Overthrow of the Present
Cabinet Looked For.

The Leaders of the Movement Working
w tn Great Deliberation-NO Signs of
General Rioting-Cause of the Ger
mans Hatred of Stanley-Irish Enter
prise-Foreign News Notes.
LONDON, April l4.-There is little
doubt that the present Spanish cabinet
will be overthrown shortly, before the
July recess most assuredly. There is a
strong opposition, too, that before its re-
assembling the monarchy will be over
thrown for a second time in this genera
ton and republicanism given another
trial.
Cool and Deliberate.
The GOODNESS and deliberation with
which the leaders of the Republican
party are acting and the subordination
of rank file, give hope of a resolution as
complete and bloodless as that in which
the Brazilian monarch was deposed.
There are no signs of general rioting by
preconcert, nor is there any promise of
threatening pronunciamentos; but there
is a calm consciousness of strength un-
derlying all the republican movements
that shows profound belief that the
people are with them en- masse.
For the past year legislation and the
force of public opinion have strength
ened civic force in Spain to the anger
and dismay of the military officers Of
the old school. These latter have re-
monstrated with the crown, and several
of them have resigned in consequence of
the replies which they received. The
ex-marshals, at least, have put their
property into portable shape and are
prepared for exile when the storm
bursts.
