5000 MEN ON STRIKE.

Only the Puddlers and Rollers At Work
in tho National Tube Works.
PTrTsBURG, Pa, May 13.-Four~ thou
sand men struck for 10 per cent. in
crease in the McKeesport Tube Works.
ALL the finishing departments of the
mills are closed, and only the puddlers
and rollers are at work. The mon had
decided on Saturday to refuse to work
unless the company granted the demand
for an increase in wages approximating
ten per cent. General Manager Con-
verse was called upon by . committee.
He told the foreman plainly that the
advance would not be'granted, and that
the men who failed to report for duty
would be dismissed.
- Conferences are being held with q
view of fixing up the trouble. A large
number Of the mon are not members of
trades organizations. Afew are Knights
of Labor. The puddlers and rollers are
members of tho Amalgamated Associa-
ton, which has no grievance. There
was no disorder to-day.

Frightful Confession OF Midwife.
Mr.. Pewdsrly's Articles Quoted in
British Journals.
LONDON, May 13.-There was notable
gathering of free traders at the Golden
Club last evening, the occasion being
tho presentation Of an address to Mr..
Bayley Potter, 4ladstonian member of
Parliament for Rochdale. Mr.. Potter
for several years occupied the position
Of honorable treasurer of the club and
10 recognized as one OF the highest au-
thorities on tariff matters In England.
The address was presented by Mr..
Gladstone, who in the course of his
speech referred to the anti Chinese
legislation in the United States. Owing
to the ambiguity of the legislation on
the Chinese question, he said it was
not altogether clear whether tho Ameri-
oan Government taxed Chinese who en-
tered or barred Thorn all out. Any
way, he thought that the Chinese were
to be dreaded more for their virtues
than their vices, which he did not be-
lisvs to be nearly SO extensive or
fragrant a. the grounds taken for their
exclusion alleged.
Mr.. Gladstone said tho free traders
must recognize with great disappoint-
ment how much ground they had lost
within the last twenty-five years. Mill
tarism, which was lying like a vampire
over Europe. was responsible for most
of the mischief, but not all, because
free trade had receded in countries
where militarism does not preyail-the
United States and the British Colonies.

Jacob scheele,s Case =.

BRIDGEPORT, May 13.-Jacob Scheele,
the murderer Of Constable Louis Druc-
ker of New Canaan, will probably be
tried during the term Of the superior
court, which comes in to-day. State
Attorney Fessenden appealed from the
decision of Judge Phelps, allowing
Scheele a new trial, but the appeal has
never been completed and it will proba-
bly, be dropped. Scheels's counsel have
been prepared to take up the case. But
the state attorney has never said posi-
lively. whether he would try the appeal
before the supreme court of errors or
whether the case would be brought inn
mediately to the superior court for q
second trial. AS the briefs have not
been completed for the appeal it is
doubtless his intention to try the case on
it's merits.

ELIZABETH, N. j., May ia big
crowd of prominent citizens Of Eliza

Jury to testify as to what they know
about race tracks and pool selling.
Doctors, merchants, lawyers and leading

The jury, it is said, will not finish its
labors in q month, and under an old
statute, passed thirty-thrse years ago,
can indict any person who bet on a race

1t Is said that some of the jurymsn
are favorable to the latter course, and
will insist that no discrimination be
shown In the matter of the indictments,
but that the statute be enforced to the
letter. Should this be done fully 5000
persons who attend the races can be
indicted.

Wichita eagle., 1890-02-09
In MID-OCEAN-

"The City of Chester, of the Innan line,
temporarily in command of Capt Arthur w.
Lewis, of the City of New York, spent three
days more than usual battling with wind and
sea. Capt. Lewis is q veteran, but says he
never saw anything like it. For two days,
east of the Banks, there was six inches of ice
on the promenade decks. Even Photographic
enthusiast declined the captains invitation to
come ON deck and take picture of the crystal
rugged ship"
Man is still the sport of the elements In
the olden time one explanation covered all
such cases: "When the Lord would destroy
it is vah for man to attempt to stay his
hand" Modern science, giving a little more
scope to the freedom of the human will, de-
clares that these calamities are largely the
result of one principle, viz: Mans enterprise
is always far in advance of his knowledge
That is, he is forever daring nature to do her
worst, and learning from the resulting ca
lamities how to avoid the like again. But
as he must try before he can learn, the sacri-
fee must go on.
But shall we ever learn TO circumvent
whirlwind and earthquake, blizzard and
ocean hurricane? In the one year 1865 over
100000 persons were destroyed in Central
and South America by natural convulsions,
In five minutes 10000 were crushed at Lis
bon; in less time 1900 died at Lima In the
nortlSthe blizzard and snow blockade torment
US; ID the south the hurricane levels the
tropical forest and the earthquake destroys
in a moment the proudest cities. In the
month just closed however, a few days have
wrought more harm than any equal period
recorded. Belated vessels are still coming in
coated with ice and with officers and crew
exhausted.
The German steamship America was three
days in a hurricane, yet saved all her S79
passengers but one. The ocean was thick set
with icebergs, say the sailors: This month
has been a terror Many other steamships
loaded with steerage passengers had the same
experience, and yet the loss of life was sur
prisingly small. OF the lost some were
crushed when boats were swept away, others
were dashed against the timbers, still others
swept overheard and very many frozen to
death. On the 10Th Of January vast field
of packed ice, stretching so far that its north
eru boundary could not be determined, had
reached latitude Il degS and was constantly
in the line of steamers. Many explanations

IN THE DRIFTS

The month opened with general report of
unusual phenomena in every section south of
the lakes and st. Lawrence valley; roses
blooming in the open air in the central west,
garden sauce gathered green in Virginia and
Kentucky, ice in great demand in the Gulf
cities, cotton blooming and early vegetables
coming forward in all the country south of
latitude "a, and all the ponds in New Eng
land free from ice A fortnight later there
was a sudden change, and after it came re-
ports of such destruction in the far west as
no white man had ever seen.
There is q saddening monotony about the
reports-cold, hunger, death by freezing and
starvation. Successive reports. merely re-
peat: Sixteen engines dead on one division
- Of the Central Paciic-All the snow plows and
several thousand shoveler sat work-The track
covered thirty feet deep with snow and ice
Many hundred passengers imprisoned-Many
cities cut OFF from communication-Half the
cattle and sheep in Nevada dead-100, 600 head
of stock already lost in the California mount
ains-Many lives lost, but the full number
not known"
The next day and the next and the next
came parallel reports from the ocean: "Aw-
full Atlantic gales-Fears that the Erin has
foundered-Wreckage on the coast indicates
loss Of many vessels-Gallia fooded-Seas
come down the Catalonia's tunnels and quench
the fires-Twelve bodies come ashore at Brid-
port acknowledgements bark ashore near
Wilmington, n c." and many, very many
similar announcements.
As usual, there are many to declare that it
was never so bad before. They are mistaken.
Ever since history began its records have been
full of such accounts, and long before it ira
dition ran to the same effect. Does not the
mythical record of every race begin with a
foodi In every mountainous part of the
world the first explorers have found tribes
living on the highest plateaus. and their ex-
PLANTATION always is that their ancestors were
driven there by great flood. The explana-
ton is simple. All low countries have suf-
fered such fearful floods that in time all great
changes were referred to foods.
The Chinese charge their great river with
having caused hundred million DEATHS and
this appears not so very great an exaggera-
ton when we know that the last inundation,
but few months ago, made eight millions
