AKIN TO a LOCKOUT.
The Philadelphia Press Dispenses
With Union Printers.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. loving to a
demand made by the composltors on
the morning papers for all increase of
wages and a threat to strike unless
their demand was complied with, the
following was read to those employed
on the Press this morning: lowing to
the vote of the members of the Press
chapel showing their determination to
violate the agreement under when they
came into this office, and also suisse
Quent agreement made by a representa-
tive committee on April 4, 1889, wherein
said committee stated. 'We do not pro-
pose to make any alteration in our
scale of prices except with the consent
of the employer We therefore. in
view Of the threatening attitude tending
to violate this statement, as we'll as the
uncertain and eYaSive answer of the
president of the executive council of
the International Typographical union,
have been obliged to contract with the
National Printers Protective Fraternity
for new and permanent force. The
Press will retain in its employ any of
its present force who see fit to remain
under the new organization, and will
guarantee permanent employment to
all good men. Mem JerS OF this chapel
who see tit not to remain in the employ
of the Press will please call at the
cashiers desk any time tomorrow after
IL O'Clock for full settlement of wages.
"R. j. COOK, Business Manager"
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. Meetings of
Typographical Union No. and of the
Press chapel of the union were held TO-
day, but nothing of public interest was
done. ALI the locked-out printers of
the Press were to-day placed on the
strike benefit list 81 per week. until
they obtain employment elsewhere. 1t
is said that the Press has Sc
cured nearly full complement of
men, and will experience little or no
difficulty in issuing the paper as usual.
Messrs. Jones, Plank and others, of the
executive council of the International
Typographical union, are expected to
return to this city tomorrow, and as
they have complete jurisdiction in the
matter of the general demand for in
creased rate of composition, nothing
will be done until their arrival.

The reduced rates from st. Paul TO

make the fight more Interesting. the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road
executed flank movement and opened
fire from the Missouri river. That COM
pany has ordered a cut of g. 50 in the
tirst-class rate from Kansas City TO Chi
Cage, bringing the fare down to $40. The
evident object of the cut is to punish
the burlington IL Quincy for the action
of the Burlington & Northern. A gem
eral collapse of Missouri river rates is
expected to follow, and there is no
chance apparently of the St. Louis lines
being able to maintain the present rates
between that city and Chicago.

Patti Refuses to Sing Two Songs
for Less Than $4,000.

CHICAGO, Jan. With four of the
leading artists of the Italian opera COM
pany down with the influenza, the
Auditorium to-day presented a gloomy
appearance. The four are Tamagno.
Valda, Pettigiana and Nordica. Only
Nine. Patti of the leaders is in good
health. Nine. Patti was sitting in her
suite at the Richelieu eating marshmal-
lows, which she says are good for the
voice, and toasting her toes over cam
mel coal fire. ~
You are we'll, are you not?' Mr..
Adams asked her. r.
Perfectly" said Nine. Patti.
"Then you can sing to-night?'
''For $4,000"
The manager withdrew and stalked
about with solemnity that was Inc
tense. Finally Nine. Alban was Sc
cured, and the specter of PATHS cool
$4,000 was laid out. The madame did
not care. She expressed herself as
more DESTROYS of seeing the work of the
pupils of the Chicago conservatory, and
they at once offered to arrange special
entertainment for her benefit to take
place tomorrow. The offer was ac-
cepted, and program was immediately
made up to represent the different de-
partmentS of music and dramatic art.
The queen of song will therefore to-
morrow have an impromptu triumphaI
reception from her young subjects in
the big auditorium.

CALIFORNIA; ARE HAPPY
The Outlook for Good Crope Was
Never So Good,

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. New Years
day in this city. and throughout Cali
fornia in general, has been bright and
warm. This is in marked contrast
with the weather of the past three
weeks, during which time rain has fallen
almost necessarily IN some portions of
the state. In the Sacramento valley,
in Southern California, the damage
by the storms will amount to many
thousands of dollars, but telegraphic
reports now state that the loss will not
foot up anything like as large a sum as
at first supposed. In general. the rains
there. as i'll Middle and Northern
California, have been of almost
incalculable benefit. The soil on
which irrigation has heretofore
been deemed necessary to raise crops
has been so thoroughly saturated that
with ordinary weather at the different
seasons the ground will be more moist
for possibly two or three years. From
the present outlook California promises
the greatest fruit and grain crop in the
history of the state.
