London Gas-Workers Threaten to Strike

London Gas-Workers Threaten to Strike,
Trccps Under Arms
LONDON, Oct. 3.-ihe Directors of the
London Gas Company to-day declined to
accede to the demand make by the National
Gas-workeIs' Union that only union men be
employed. The stokers threatened to
strike. a storm has been brewing between
the company and the men for months. The
number involved is six times larger than
the number engaged in any of the previous
gas-huuse strikes. The company is making
preparations to conduct its business despite
any action the men may take. Long sheds
have been erected within the works for
living quarters for the non-unlonlstS and
hundreds of beds have been provided for
their use. Tie authorities, too, have taken
energetic measures to suppress any dis
order. Orders have already been issued that
500 soldiers at Chatham be held in readiness
to proceed at 4 moments notice to protect
the gas works and the men who refuse to
join in the strike. Each soldier has been
served with twenty rounds of ball-cartrdge.
The stOsers declare the reports that they
intend TO go on strike to force the COM
pany 10 dispense with non-union labor is
unf0unded. Moreover, they declare that
they have made no demands upon the Dl-
rectors, but only suggested that 1t would be
to The ADVANTAGE Of eacn side II only union
labor vas employed. Despite the pacific ut
terauceS of the men the troops at Chatham
continue under arms.
This evening to the deputati0n of gas
men, the Directors declared they bore no
enmity toward the union, aud would always
give preference to old hands without dis
tinction between union and non-uniOn men,
At the mass-meetng Of worsnen held later,
a resolution was adopted eNi rssing thanks
to the Directors and GeclarlLs that the men
do not desire to strike.

THE WHITE METAL.
Possibility Of an Unexpected Increase in
The Circulation Of Silver.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a special from Wash
ington says Treasury officials think it pos
sible that the silver law may be construed
in such a way that the result will be an in
crease Of s., GEO. 600 in circulation in addition
to the S5,00U,000 or more issued in legal
tender notes to pay for the monthly pur-
chases of silver. The correspondent says
concerning the coinage provided for under
the third section tor the redemption of
Treasury notes, ETC.: If coin is to be used
in the redemption of outstanding notes, and
these notes may be reissued, what can pre-
vent an increase in the monthly circulation
by the amount Of notes issued plus the coin
age of . 000. COO ounces per month? Notes
tU the amount of the coinage value OF 2,000,
600 ounces of silver, say 81, 100000 could be
presented for redemption every month in
silver and. these notes under the ac5 would
have to be ressuei. 1t is doubted whether
the provision that no greater or less amount
of such notes shall be outstanding al any
time than the cost of the silver bullion and
the standard silver dollars coined thereirOm
then held in the Treasury purchased by such
notes, changes the situation, as the language
is liable to the other construction. The act
will probably be referred 20 Attorney Gen
eral Miller for Interpretation.
The Commercial Advertiser editOrialy
says: English bulliOn-deaers are evidently
Idlll putdll.S puI SllNtl lilfIhtJ on d'l cAtSil-
sive scale. When silver prices were the
highest. English importers for several
weeks did not take an ounce IRON us. In
the week ending September 18Th, when
prices were much lower, they suddenly OF
dered loco, COO worth OF silver from New
York In lhe following week they took
nearly 100000. Last week they d d not
take a cent. 1t looks like very clever en-
gineering.
The Mail and Express says importers
from silver countries are not likely to ap-
preciate the rise in silver. The value of for
eign silver coins as fixed by the Treasury
makes the duties great deal higher than at
the first of the year. The advance is figured
at bout 22 per cent.
WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-The amount of sill
yer offered the Treasury to-day was 9j7,0
ounces, and the amount purchased was DO
600 ounces, as follows: Forty thousand
ounces, at S1.1345; 100000, S1.137; $1,000,
S1.1375 $4,000 SL13SQ; 10000, S113S4; $780,

Great Excitement Over the Location of the
Ganifal l. -.


GUTHRIE Qnd. T.), Oct. 3.-The excite
ment over the capital location continues to-
day. After the demonstration against
Messrs. Daniels, Perry and Ne,bitt. last
evening had subsided. S. r. Mitchell. City
Attorney Of Oklahoma City, who CHANGED
to be in town, sent this telegram to one OF
his friends at.home: "Your. representatives
were mobbed on the street to-day. Send
100 armed men," The armed men arrived
this morning and were among the first to
secure seats of advantage in the hall of the
Lower House. Fully as many friends of the
Guthrie measure, equally strongly armed,
were also present. Their presence caused
intense feeling, and it would have taken but
the slightest outbreak to have caused serious
trouble. Speaker Daniels was too i'll, suffer-
ing frem nervous exhaustion, caused by the
exciting scenes Of yesterday, to preside. AS
soon as the House was called TO order
Representative Terrill introduced a resolu-
ton calling attention to the presence of
armed men in the cham ber,,- declaring their
presence undesirable and directing the Ser
geant-at-Arms to eject all spectators, news
paper men excepted. The resolution was
voted down by vote 20 to 80.
Considering the probability OF repetition
Of yesterdays riotOus demonstration, it was
deemed advisable to postpone until to-mor-
row any further action on the capital queS-
tion. The Speaker has prepared a resolu-
tioB, which will be introduced tomorrow,
providing for the recall OF the bill from the
Senate, When this resolution is presented
lively time is expected. :.

The Form Of Contract Modified to the Ad-
yantape of the PLAYER

The Form Of Contract Modified to the Ae-
vantage of the Player.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "A new form of
contract has been prepared by the officials
of the National Baseball League. The re-
serve clause of the eighteenth paragraph is
entirely stricken out, and new paragraph,
giving the club the option to renew con-
tract for whatever number of years may be
mutually agreed upon. The word "reser-
walton" in the case of disbandmept is also
stricken out of the fifteenth paragraph, and
authority for club to assign any contract is
inserted. The 'ten days" clause is materi-
ally altered to the advantage of the player.
player, under this form, cannot be re-
leased between seasons without his consent.
If, during the season he be released While
abroad with his club, he shall be entitled TO
travelling expenses back to the home city.
Another charge in favor of the player is his
right to appeal to the league Directors
against clubs fines and penalties that may
be considered unjust. The clauses against
dissipation and immortality are strengthened
by adding that player must absolutely
refrain from late hours and from any excess
and dissipation in eating, drinking or other
wise, and must keep himself in the best
physical condition to play ball, etc.
While the reserve rule Is no longer re
ferred to in the contract" said Secretary
Rogers tonight, lit does not follow that it

bequeSt are the same as those on which the
bequest for a library in New York, in the
will of Samuel j. Tilden, was invalidated,
viz: that.a bequest cannot be legally made
to anything which does not exist. 1t is also
proposed to attack the beQuestS to several
religious iustitutions and tine bequest Of
S100,000 for a Statue Of Abraham Lincoln.
'Ehe solicitors for the contestants point out
that all of the bequests TO relatives were to

FORT RENO Qnd. T), Oct. 3.-The Choc-

Saturday with the Cheyennes and Arapa-
hoes for the sale of their lands. The In
dians at present take but little interest in
the matter most of them apparently being
greatly excited over stories: told by one OF
their number who has been visiting the
Sioux Indians. While there he had a talk
with the alleged Messiah, who told him the
well-known romance which he has been cir
culating among the Indians for some time
past, of a deluge of mud which is coming
next summer to overwhelm all whites and
bad Indians, on top of which good Indians
will find new and fertile land. -,

ACCUSED OF ARSON.

A Man and His Wife Placed Under Ar
rest by the Fire Marshal.
There was fire yesterday afternoon in
the dwelling-hOuse at II Dale place, for
which an alarm was turned in from Box 81
at 2 o'clock. The flames were speedily
enough exlinguished, though the loss result
ing will amount to about $500. The house
was occupied by Thomas Russell and his
wife Maggie, and some circumstances in
connection with the fire were such as
TO suggest an inspection, with the result
that the man and woman were arrested
last evening by Fire Marshal Towe,
who accuses them of arson. Mrs. Russell is
authority for the extraordinary statement
that her husband tied her down to the bed,
heaped clothes upon her which he saturated
with kerosene oil and then set fire to. Rus
sell on the other hand makes fiat denial,
averring that her statement is maliciously
false, but admitting that he clipped her
raven tresses we'll nigh to the scalp to curb
her vanity. The woman, it is said; has been
arrested on several occasions for having
been intoxicated, and for this reason the
police are not inclined to give credence to
her charge against her husband.

of the requirements demanded by the
Government are exceedingly high. Scott
was entirely satisfied with the outcome of
the awards Of battle-shps. He thought that
Naval Constructor Nixon's suggestion of
