CooPEks' GRAND COUP.
They Hope to Make Their Strike
International.

CHICAGO, May 5.-According to the
predictions of the stOckyard coopers,
who are now on strike. there is a prob
ability of their cause being taken up by
the English dock lab0rers, and the strike
becoming international. At meeting
of the Brotherhood of United Labor
held this morning committee was APP
pointed TO communicate with John
Burns, the English labor leader, and to
request him to order the English long
ShOremen not to handle any of the beef
or other products shipped there 10y the
Chicago packers. he committee say
that Burns has taken great interest in
the cause of the men at the yards,
and that within the past few
weeks they have received letters
from him in which he expressed the
hope OF visiting the United States this
summer and investigating the labor
situation. The men, in an open letter,
say that by the terms of their employ
ment they are subject to discharge
without warning, while they must give
two weeks notice or forfeit ten days
pay, which the companies withhold.
one day out of each week during the
first ten weeks OF their service. Some
times, they say, they are only given
two or three days work per week, but
are compelled to remain or forfeit their
ten days wages; that they are forced to
work on Sunday: that if workman is
two minutes late in the morning he is
docked an hours pay, while if his work
is finished before the close of the day
he is not paid for the full day.

A sLANDEROUS ATTACK

That Will Only React-Why Aid.
Cullen Is Sure of Election.
One of the Republican organs of this
city has so perSlstently and maliciOusly
lied about Aid. Cullen and Gehan from
the commencement of this campaign
that few people have taken any stock
in any of its vile calumnies against these
worthy. deserving and honorable public
servants. The msst absurd canard
sprung by this organ against Mr.. Cul-
len, however, was printed last evening
in which Mr.. Cullen was said
to have remarked that he would
prefer to sign petition IA
voring low wages for wOrkingmen
rather than fair and good wages. This
is the rankest kind of a falSehOod, as
Mr.. Cullen has always been known as
the friend of the'true interests of all
citizens alike. and he believes, like all
true Democrats. that every man ought
to receive proper and just cOmpensa-
ton for his labor In another part OF
this slanderous, snobbish and llliberal
sheet Mi. Cullen was CHARGED with
being responsible for notice found
on the door OF John b. Pew
ters' saloon yesterday morning
announcing PeWter'S withdrawal
from the aldermanic contest. This re-
auires no answer, and as to PeWters'
charge that Mr.. Cullen promised that he
should be giveu the Democratic nOm-
ination this time for pulling out in favor
of Aid. Z. L. Kavanagh two years ago,
it requires no answer. as Mr.. Cullen was
then running on the reform ticket, and
could in no wise be responsible for any
promises made MIR. Pewters. And. by
the way, if Mr.PeWters is Democrat,
as he pretends to be, it is his plain duty
to turn in and help to elect Mr.. Cullen,
who is the regular Democratic nominee
A very hitter and disreputable fight
has been made on Mr.. Cullen, but
it will avail his opponents nothing; for
the people recognize in him a true and
faithful servant Of the city, who can
always be counted upon to do his duty,
regardless of any influences that may be
brought to bear upon him. 1t is the
duty of every Democrat, as we'll as
every good citizen of the Fourth
ward, regardless of party. to vote
for Mr.. Cullen to-day, and

LABOR TRIUMPHANT.
The Great Carpenters Strike
at Chicago Is Settled
at Last.
Goth Sides Concerned Ratify
the Findings of the Judi
eial Umpires.
The Terms OF Settlement Are
Based on the Eight
Hour Day.
Thursday Morning 1000 Men
Will Resume Work on New
Buildings.

CHICAGO. May 5.-The great carpen-
ters' strike is finally settled. The nee
essary papers were signed to-day, and
ratified by both sides concerned in the
arbitration. A last report will be made
tomorrow morning to the judicial um-
pireS, and Thursday morning scores Of
buildings that for four weeks have been
practically deserted will echo with
the sounds of hammer and saw in the
hands of fully 1000 journeymen car
penters. The two arbitration commit
tees of the new boss carpenters aSsOcia-
ton and the strikers met this evening
at the Grand Pacific hotel with Judges
briggs, Mcconnell and Tuley. and
after a session of three hours length
settled the last detail. The journey
men achieved an almost sweeping VIC
tory. They made concessions on but
two points, and every jOurneyman car
penter throughout the city was jubilant
tonight over the result. The only dis
appointment was that the StubbOrnnesS
of the old association has left its mem
bers wholly out OF the final deal.
The official statement of the
terms of settlement will not be issued
by the two parties to the arbitration till
Tomorrow but it is reliably stated that
the document signed in the presence Of
the three Judges provides that eight
hours shall constitute a days work, 10
begin at a. Ill. and end p. m.
The noon hour MAY be curtalied
by special Arrangement between the
foreman and the majority of the work
men, but not in such way as to permit
more than eight hours work between
the hours hamed. Overtime shall only
be allowed between certain stipulated
hours at night. The minimum rate Of
wages has been fixed at 81 cents an hour
up to August l, and thereafter at
S715 cents an hour. Overtime is to be
rated at time and a half, and Sunday
time as double time. In the matter of
apprentices, concessions were made by
both parties. Tie employers agree to
employ only union men, even for fore
men required to work with non-unlon
men.

The Supposed Murderer of Mrs.
Butterfieid Under Arrest.

The Supposed Murderer of Mrs.
Butterfieid Under Arrest.
DENVER, Col, May 5.-There are no
new developments in the Butterfield
murder mystery. The police are of the
opinion that the crime was committed
by some man who called at the house
for the purpose of renting room. Mrs.
Butterfield went up stairs to show him
the room, and he, finding she was alone,
attempted to outrage her, and in the fight
which enSued, he struck her a blow on
the temple which caused her death.
The woman's clothes were torn in
shreds and her body badly scratched.
Finding that the woman was
dead. the wretch covered the body
with blanket, washed his bloody hands
in wash bowl in the room and lie it by
the back door. which he locked as he
went out. The crime was probably com
mitted between and s p, m. Saturday,
and the body was not discovered until
Sunday. The dead woman at one time
lived in New York state, and her first
husband, a Mr.. Bryant, was killed in
the war. She had a divorced hush nd
named Butterfeld living in Omaha.
Late this afternoon the police brought
to the station a man who gave his name
as Charles Munsen, and occupa-
ton as a painter. The right
side of the mans face was
very badly scratched, acd his
forehead was in the same condition.
Hls left eye was quite black, as if-from
a gouge or blow. and his right eye is not
in very much better condition. The
assistant chief of detectives put the man
in the sweat box. with very unsatis-
factory result. He claims to have ar
rived in the city Thursday of last week,
but could not tell who it was that
scratched him or when or where it hap
pened. The story was so out of joint
that he was ordered locked up. The
scratches OH his face look as if they
might have been made within the last
forty-eight hours. and, to the police, is
a strong indication that they have the
right man,

ROYALTY IN THE VAN.
An Imposing Reception to Ex-
plOrer Stanley.

piOrer Stanley.
LONDON, May 5.-The geographical
society reception to Henry M. Stanley
was held at the Albert hall this even
ing. and was attended by the Prince and
Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edin-
burgh, the Duke of Cambridge. the
Duke and Duchess of Teck, Prince and
Princess Won Hohenloe. the Duke of
Fife, the Duke of Argyll the Count of
Paris and brilliant aSSemblage of the
leaders of all classes of people. The
princes of the royal family headed
a triumphal procession which conducted
Stanley and his colleagues into the hall.
The assemblage. which completely
packed the building, rose Ell masse to
applaud. The president of the geo
graphical society. in an appropriate
speech, presented medals to Stanley.
The explorer on rising to reply was
greeted with another OutburSt of cheer
ing. In returning his thanks he said
welcome he had received would be eX-
tended to the little that he could tell
them. He then proceeded to narrate
his adventures, assisted by a huge
chart. The Prince of Wales moved
vote OF thanks to Mr.. Stanley, and the
Duke of Edinburgh seconded the mo-
ton. The medal presented to Stanley
is of gold, and bears his effigy. Copies
of the medal in bronze were presented
to his colleagues, including Mr.. Bonney,
by the Prince of Wales. In the course of
his speech Mr.. Stanley said that Car
pers had asked what was the utility of
the expedition. To this he replied hat
the gain to humanity was great. The
expedition had opened up a new, rich
and productive region, and would en-
able them to teach millions of degraded
human beings in the forests that i'll
vegetable products they would find
something of far vaster value than the
flesh of their fellow creatures. As a
Christian nation, he said the English
people ought to rejoice that the few
thousand pounds lent to this work had
rescued 400 persons from slavery and
restored 29O to their homes in Egypt,
and had delivered Emin from a stag
nant state of impossibilities to the active
service Of friendly mutton. 1t was no
exaggeratlon to say that every mile ira
versed would serve in the future to eX
tend British commerce, industry and
enterprise. Finally they had extended
the British possessions to the eastern
limits of the Congo, adding territory
covering thousands Of miles without
force OF arms.

the men employed at the machines
promising their support. 1t was de-
cided that they would, in a measure,
pool their issues with the carpenters,
and no union man of the latter Organi-
Zati0n will handle work turned out by
mills refusing to grant the demand
for eight hours. There was no
strike at n. X. Fairbanks works
as expected this morning, and the strike
of the gas men, which was to take place
this morning, failed to materialize. The
expected strike of the dock men on the
Western Transportation company's line
and the Anchor line did not take place.
The reason is said to be that they
are not sufficiently organized and
that there are too many men ready TO
take their places. There is no change
in the situation of the carpenters strike.
Negotiations for settlement with the
new bosses association are said to be
complete, and the men will resume
