Prices for Padding.

PfrrsBrnGm. Pa, June 9.-The base price
for pudding during the next scale year II
the Pittsburgh and all western and south
ern points will be s. 30 on two cent card
the same as this years scale. This figure
was decided upon finally at to-.day,,s session
of the convention of the Amalgamated
Association. BY this decision it follows
that there will be but little change in the
scale of prices paid to iron work
ers for a period of more than year
The vote which decided this important
question was, it is understood, something
like 1O7 to l33. The manufacturers say that
the convention acted wisely In confirming
this years prices to govern next years
wage scale. for. they say, in case of an ad
vance in wages the prices of finished mate
rial must necessarily have sympathized
and this would have created depression
In view of the action taken by the conven
tion. It is scarcely likely that the manufact
urers will ask for conference with the
workers

AFTER THE ROBBERS.
Posse of o. nicials on the Train Plunderer's
Tracks.

MIyNEAPoLIs. MINI, June 9.-The
Journals Bismarck, n. d., special says:
Searching parties are still out after the
robbers who went through the Northern
Pacific train at New Salem. If caught
they will probably be lynched. Express
Messenger Angevine, whose presence of
mind saved the Express Cos treasure,
lives here. He shipped his treasure box
10 St. Paul this morning. II contained
from $4,000 to $4,000 in money. The Ex-
press Co. lost nothing, but will offer big
reward for the arrest and conviction OF the
robbers. Postal Inspector Watkins, of
Washington, d. c., happened TO be in town
and is now working up the case. The seven
registered pouches are estimated to have
contained 5000. The robbers compelled
the mail clerk to empty the registered
pouches into one large mail sack. He had
hidden some forty loose registered pack
ages. but was compelled to produce them.
The whole country is thoroughly alarmed
and il, seems almost impossible for the
robbers to escape. The Postofflce Depart
ment has offered a reward Of 81 600 for the
arrest and conviction of the parties who
robbed the registered mail pouches.

A SUPPOSED BURGLAR
Captured by the Police Yesterday-Look-
Ing for "A purduer.

ing for "A Pardner.
Several days ago Chief OF Police Del
brugge received telegram from the au-
thorities at Martinsburg, this State, TO the
effect that a gang of burglars, who have
been operating in the Eastern Pan Handle,
had been spotted; that several OF their
number had been arrested, but that one or
two had got off, and one of them had eX-
pressed two kits Of burglars tools via the
American Express, for this city. Later a
letter came, which stated one of the men IN
Jail there had lot of iewelry and various
tools on his person when captured; that ne
took every precaution 10 prevent Officers
and others at the Jail seeing him, and that
he had refused 10 be photographed, and had
TO be held before the camera by main
strength Half-a-dozen photographs OF the
man were enclosed, Of which no two
looked like the same person, and
they indicated remarkable power
on the part of the subject TO change his
features and expression. The letter SAID,
in addition, that the package OF tools
would be called for, in this city, Monday.
Chief Delbrugge accordingly detailed ON
Ger Shorts 10 watch the case, and yester-
day the officer was notified that man was
in the office after the tools. He was at
once arrested and taken TO headquarters,
where he gave his name as j. NJ. Dardeen.
He said he had been induced by one John
O'Brien TO go for the package, and he had
been told that the tools had originally been
shipped from Wheeling TO Martinsburg,
about May 2sth, with the understanding II
they were not called for there, they were
to be shipped back to this city.
The Express people say the box has not
vet been returned from Martinsburg, but
il is looked for at any time.
Yesterday Officer Shorts made close
search Of the lower portion of the city and
OF BenwOod, and also followed the river
shore some distance below, having been in
formed that o OBrien had been seen going
in that direction, but no trace Of him could
be found.
When Dardeen was searched at the City
Hall, a lot of cheap iewelry was found ON
him. Among the stuff was lot OF rings,
which were sewed in bag and hung
around his neck. He will be held TO await

JAPs' IMAGINARY GRIEVANCES.
Almond-Eyed Natives Make Things Hot
for Foreigners.

san FRANCIsCo, June 9.-Advices from
Yokohama, Japan, dated May 81, tell Of un-
easiness among foreigners in the japanese
capital owing TO developments which have
followed the murder of the Canadian mis-
sionary, the late Rev. Il. a. Large. Follow
ing close upon this event other missionaries
were either assaulted and brutally slashed
with knives or driven from the country.
On May Rev James Summers, for many
years past proprietor of the English school
at Toxic, and patronized by the nobility,
was driving in one of the principal thor
oughfares of Toxic with his family, when
the carriage of the Dowager Empress,
mother of the present Mikado, approached
with a cavalry escort.
When a member of the Royal family
passes it is the custom for people along the
streets to Uncover their heads, and Sum-
mers reined in his horses into the side of
the street and halted. As the carriage ap-
preached he-took off his hat, replacing il as
soon as the carriage was past him. One
of the escort in the rear of the carriage
noticed his hat and brought his lance in
line with it, so that, as if by accident, the
cavalryman struck Summers a severe blow
on the head The soldier was at once ar
rested and court-martialed.
Much excitement has ensued. and the
student classes particularlarly are hot
against the foreigners, believing they have
insulted the Empress Dowager.

Results Of the Red Sea Trade in kidnapping Child
rsn-Ths European Powers Appear to be
POwerless to Stop the PsrnlciOus Traf-
fc-CondiiiOn Of the People

LONDON, June 9.-The European powers
do not seem 70 be making much progress
in their professed object Of suppressing
the slave trade, which is made the pretext
for seizing and apportioning Africa. The
Red Sea trade in kidnapping children
continues TO flourish without any attempt
being made for its suppression.
Several thousands OF these children are
kidnapped from Africa every year and dis
posed Of at various places along the Red
Sea, where they are subjected to terrible
treatment. The fact that there is no fer.
tile territory TO be seized unper the pre-
text of stopping the cruel trade in innocent
and helpless humanity, probably accounts
for the circumstance that England does
not share any Of the feet for that object,
although the British station at Alden Is
yer near the tracks of the slavers.
The most appalling accounts are received
of the sufferings of the people in Upper
Egypt and along the expedition for the re
lief of Gordon. Ii is said that the inhaOi-
tants, driven desperate by starvation, FEED
on each other, while all kinds OF animals,
however loathesome, are eagerly sought
for food.
The wretched people fight each other for
morsels and hundreds are perishing daily.
Failure of crops is said TO cause this aw-
full misery. though the wars, in which
British ambition for territory has pr0nl-
nently figured, have doubtless had their in
fiuence in causing failure of crops. Indeed
il is said that the slaughter OF the male
population left the devastated region with
out sufficient male labor to raise the crops.

Score of 4 to /.

The Wheeling and Youngstown teams
put up a beautiful game on the Island base
ball park. 1t was as nice a contest as any
one could ask for, and the 300 people who
took in the game were very glad they
did so.
1t was indeed an auspicious opening Of
the present home series, and there is no
doubt the boys will keep up a stiff gait
from now on. They came home one game
ahead on the trip, and that is doing ex-
ceedingly well.
Myers played an especially fine game at

cult stops. He also braced up at bat won
derfully. Glenalvin, O'Brien and Zeigler

brown stone front style. They also pounded
the ball to the queens taste. Not an error
was made by Wheeling. The batting work
of Fitzgerald and Lytle was splendid. The
visitors also put up a stiff game, and only
registered one error In fact the game was
full of ginger from start TO finish, and it
belonged TO neither side until the last man
was out
