School Children.

SCnOOl Cnliuren.
The school children of Abilene have done
themselves proud and earned the everlasting
gratitude of the Spring Palace management as
well as of all visitors to that grand building by
the donation by them of what was probably the
largest shipment OF flowers ever made in one
cargo. Last night there arrived at the Palace
two immense boxes about SKID, each of which
upon opening, was found to be densely
packed with the. prettiest floral productions
Of the district which yesterday carried OF the
palm for the best display Of the products of the
garden and orchard st the Texas Spring Palace.
This magnificent gift was from the school chill
dren of Abilene, Of whom there are some 700.
Early in the week Commissioner Ralph of Tay-
lor county telegraphed the superintendent OF
schools at Abilene that there was q big demand
for f overs at the PaiaCs. Forthwith the super
intendent took steps to supply the want. He gave
all the school children half holiday on
Friday afternoon which they devoted to the
gathering of the beautiful flowers, which grow
in ravishing abundance in that neighborhood.
The result is stated. The Abilene school chill
dren have done their part toward the Spring
Palace, the grandest success OF the year. They
could ask no greater reward.

STILL UNSETTLED.
THE CARPENTERS STRIKE IN CHI
CAGO STILL ON.
The Builders Will Not Recognize the
Union-Non-Un Men Appeal to the
Government for Protection.

CHICAGO, April 26.-The settlement of
the carpenters strike is still problem
of the future. The Builders Exchange
today declines to recede from its position
not to recognize the Carpenters Council,
and it is expected the joint conferences
of the various representatives were
failure. The builders at a meeting to-
day decided to complain to Mayor Greg
ier that police protection was not af-
forded the non-unionist carpenters who
desired to work, and that unless more
active measures were employed an appeal
to Governor Fifer for militia would be
made.
In statement to the public tonight,
the builders and master carpenters say
that while not abridging the right of any
member to make any agreement he
pleases, theySwill not, as an association
"be party to any agreement that will
deprive any employer or employed froJl
| the right to earn his bread, whether or
not he belongs to their union or ours
The gas-ftters went ON strike today
as had been threatened.
President O'Connell, of the Carpente rs
Council, declined to say whether the
strike would now be declared off, as to
the new Bosses Association, further
than that the subject would be con-
sidered at meeting to be held on Mon
day. Full authority to make binding
agreement with the journeymen was
given by the new bosses to their arbitra-
| ton committee.
At meeting of the non-union car
penters who have come here from other
States since the beginning of the strike,
memorial was drafted setting forth
that they have been assaulted and terri
fed, and that the local police and other
authorities refuse to protect them; they
therefore ask Government protection.
The memorial is addressed to Secretary
Blaine.
1t is now stated that there will be no
strike of the packing-house employees
the stockyards, as was at one tim
feared. The strike, which would haye
involved $4,000 men, had strong SENT
ment in it's favor, but the older hands
who had passed through the disastrous
strike OF 'S6, counselled against it as
hopeless, and their counsel prevailed.

Much Time Consumed in the House by
DilatOry Tactics.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-While the
House was in committee of the whole on
the Legislative appropriation bill, En-
loe, OF Tennessee, in speaking to YER
bal amendment criticised the appoint
ment of the postmaster in his town, and
quoted from letter by his colleague,
Evans, to the Postmaster-G General, de-
claring that the people of that town
were ballot-box suffers, and that he
(Enloe) and his people ought to be dis
ciplined. This precipitated wordy de-
bate which lasted some time.
Sayers, of Texas, raised a point OF
order against tile clause providing the
appointment by the Secretary OF the
Interior of nine members Of the Board
of Pension Appeals, at $4,000 per annum
each. The point was sustained, and an
amendment was adopted requiring the
heads of the departments to report to
Congress the number of persons in their
departments who are inefficient.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. On the order OF
the previous question no quorum voted,
and a call of the House was ordered.

her husband was away from home he
was sick in bed with dropsy, which
disease he died of last December.
Further, when Clayton was killed, her
husband was sick at home, which state
ment can be corroborated by the family

SAN Francisco, April 26.-A letter
has been received here from James K.
Mangan, of Pearl, Texas, stating that
early in the month he wrote to the State
Board of immigration, of this city, ask
ing for information regarding Govern
ment land in California. In return he
received letter, copy of which he en-
closes, from Charles Evans, of the emf
grafton office, stating that there was no
commissioner or other officer in this
State whose duty it was to supply infor-
nation to intending settlers, but that
for the sum of $40 he Evans) would
direct Mangan to location in a fertile
valley in the southern part of the State,
as yet unoccupied, but which bids fair
to become valuable in the near future, as
an Eastern railway is already surveying
through the lower end of the valley.
Mangan asks that his request for infor-
authorities, as he believes Evans sought
to ''bleed" him.
Evans could not be found, but Immi-
grafton Commissioners Hanly, when
shown the letter, said Evans was clerk
employed by him to look after immigra-
ton business. He expressed surprise at
the contents of Evans's letter, and said
such action was without his sanction.
He stated that the office received many
letters, asking for information regarding
lands, which he either did not answer
(as the only duty of the office was to ex-
anime all passengers arriving by sea), or
else he referred the letters to the proper
officials.
The officials of the State Board OF
Trade were seen and stated that no fee
was ever charged for giving required in
formation.
