About Mrs. Harrison Iscing Publicly "Snub-
bed" by tho Wifc OF Colonel Dudley.
WAsnlSaroS, April s.-A story has
just been started OF the snubbing OF Mrs.
President Harrison by tho wife Of Col
oncl W. W. Dudley. Mrs. Dudley is
alleged to have refused to recognize
Mrs. Harrison in dry goods store in
this city where both ladies were doing
some Easter shopping last week. The
reason for this alleged action on the
part OF Mrs. Dudley is given with great
elaboration and detail, and recites the
past obligations OF the President to
Colonel Dudley, with the subsequent
suspension or severing OF their intimate
relations. Colonel Dudley characterizes
the publication OF such story as m out
rage. He declares it has no foundation
in fact. lie says the ladies met in the
store named, aud exchanged friendly
greetings rs old acqnaintances, and TINT
is all there is to it. II1"t'Fs''-

THE SlSTAIE DEFAICATlON

Still tho Tnlk of Wall Street-Amount OF
Embeulcment Unknown.
New YoRK, April S.--The deialcation
and consequent failure yesterday Of G.
X. Sistare Sons, brokers, is still the sen.
cation OF Wall street. The amount OF
the embezzlement has not vet been
made public, but it is the prevailing
opinion that it will reach a larger figure
than has been anticipated. Who will
be the assignee is still matter of con.
lecture. Lawyer. e. S. Bennett, the
firms attorney was much excited this
morning when seen about the affairs OF
the company. He said he could not
tell who the assignee will be or when he
will be appointed. A great deal of re-
gret is heard on all sides over the sus.
pension Of the company. The local
members Of the firm have all been very
popular. The crash, it appears, had
been expected and the company had
closed all their contracts on the Stock
Exchange. The result was that the
failure caused little or no trouble to the
stock market.

Tho Strike Still On-Ihs Carpenters May
Arbitrntc.
CHICAGO, April s.-The plumbers
strike is still on, as all difficulties be.
tween the two sets OF belligerents have
not yet been adjusted. At last nights
conference the Master Plumbers agreed
to pay a minimum Of S. SO per day for
all journeymen and an increase Of 25 per
cent for juniors. Journeymcn plumbers
are satisfied with this advance. The Jun.
lors, however, who struck to MD the
iourneymeu, are not satisfied, and that
is the hitch at this mornings conference
OF the two arbitration committees.
The carpenters strike is still on, al.
though the men will probably appoint
an arbitration committee this afternoon
to confer with the Master Carpenters.
The strikers say that not more than
twenty men are at work within the city
limits to-day.
About fifty non.union carpenters from
the surrounding towns went to work
this morning, but they were visited by
the strikers and labored with, the result
being that they quit work. The struggle
now seems to be narrowed down to the
question Of recognition or non.recogni.
ton Of the Union. The carpenters de.
mand 40 cents per hour, eight hours as
a days work and the yearly settlement
upon a scale Of wages by conference be-
tween the builders and the carpenters
associations. The bosses are willing tc
concede the demand for eight hours and
to pay 373 cents per hour, which the
men would accept as compromise, buI
the bosses absolutely refuse to recognize
the UIiion, and the men refuse to treat
on any other basis exceptits recognition
1t is believed that no further action vii
be taken in the matter, ut least unit
Thursday night, when the builders vii
hold their regular weekly meeting.

MADRID, April S.-A horrible story
comes from Morocco. A large box was
recently brought from theinterior to the
port Of Mazagan for shipment. When
opened ghastly sight was revealed. In
the box packed closely together, were
the bodies OF sixteen young women, one
man and neRress. All the victims
we're decapitated and their heads were
missing. The bodies were embalmed
and had evidently been in the condition
in which they were found for a long
time. The slaughter had been to all an.
pearances the work Of some Pasha, who

Tho Court.sInrtial Verdict In Commander
a...- coEhlan's Case.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aprial s.-The
Secretary OF the Navy has approved the
record Of the proceedings and findings in
the case Of Commander Joseph B. Cogh-
Ian, recently tried by ourt.martial at
San Francisco, on charges OF conduct un.
becoming an officer and gentleman
and Of conduct TO the prejudice OF good
order and discipline. His offense con-
sisted Of writing and causing to be pub.
lished in California newspaper m arti.
Gle condemning and abusing in measured
terms the present administration Of naval
affairs. When arraigned he pleaded not
guilty and the editor Of the paper in
which the article WAS published refused
to appear. It was found impossible to
sustain tho charge and the court
found a verdict of not guilty.
The approval of the findings BY
the Navy Department disposes Of the
case so far as the present charges
are concerned. The result Of this case
has determined the naval authorities to
make strong effort to secure legislation
comforting upon naval court martials
the same powers as to compel the
attendance Of civilian witnesses as is
now vested in army court martials.
