LABOR AGITATIONS.
An Important Development in the Chicago
Carpenters Strike.

CHICAGO, April 1O.-An important de-
velOpment in favor of the striking car
penters is noted. A committee of non-union
master carpenters called on the Strike Com
mittee last evening and had lengthy con-
ference. There are 1900 or 1000 of these
small bosses in the city, employing nearly
if not half the journeymen, and they object
to the 40 large bosses who compose the
Builders Exchange mOnopOliZing ana con-
trolling all the business. They proposed to
the men to form an alliance with the
strikers. They are and have been willing
to grant the mems demands, but the action
of the association masters has locked them
out.
At meeting of the Master Carpenters
Association tonight an attempt was made
to dissolve the association as the only solu-
tiOn to the strike. The association has
gone so far in the matter that it cannot
recognize the union without stultifying
itself. If the association is dissolved in
dlvldual members can do as they please.
Ihe non-unl0n carpenters are joining the
union. The bosses cannot get men to work
here.
At the meeting a resolution was adopted in
which 1t stated that the organization was not
organized to fix the wages of men, but for
social purposes. This threw the matter
back to individual bosses and is geat vic
tory tC the strikers. Members of the Bosses
Union have heretofore said that their union
could not recognize the Carpenters Union.

402. Ives got the balls where he wanted
them in the twenty-third and ran the game
out amid yells which would raise the

STANLEY In EUROPE.
The African Explorer Talks About His Re-
latiOnS With Emin.

BRINDIsl, April 1O-Stanley has arrived,
en- route to Brussels.
Stanley was interviewed on his arrival
Replying to question as to what had
become of the equatorial province aban-
doned by Emin, he said it had been con-
Quered long ago by the Mahdists. -Four
stations were in their hands when we left
and there was nothing in the country to re-
sist their advance"
what has become of the people you left
behind?"
They have scattered, and each little
group, no doubt, has chosen chief. There
are 800 Irregular troops pressed into service
by Emin from the surrounding territory.
Two battalions of regulars have been prob
ably wiped out by slaughter and desertion."
what IS left OF the work accomplished
by Emin?".
There is nothing, but give me such a
force as he had and will retrieve it all in
one month"
Your enemies say that Emin could
have continued TO govern and carry on his
work"
1t is absurd"
Suppose you had left Emin where you
found him, what would have been the re-
sult?"
"He would have been at this moment in
Khartoum common slave; nothing could
nave saved him. Ii | had found Emin
with strong stable force and estab-
lished authority, 1 would have given
him ammunition When l found
him made him three offers. First, to re-
main and receive 915O0 year and a sub
sidy of $4,000; second, to be escorted to
another part of Africa, and there establish
himself as Governor; third, to be taken
out OF Africa safe. He said he wanted
time to think. l gave him a year, and then
went away under cloud of mystery
which was only penetrated when | returned
and tOunO E'min a Ia
much prisoner as a fellow in chains The
people did not want him. There was no
government left, and the servaats would
not obey him. When he asked how many
would return with him only one man con-
sented."
Stanley said the object of the Germans in
employing Emin was to annex territory,
and cut of the British coast from the in
terror Of Africa. He declared that Soudan
can be retaken, but only by nation that
arms its people with modern rifles and tells
them where to strike. Such a project
would need at least 93,OOOOOO.

CROWNED BY FAME.
The Monument to Be Erected to
Daguerre.
a Tribute by American Photographers to
the Discoverer Of the
Art.

memorable incident of the annual con-
vention of the National Association of Pho
tographers, to be held in Washington dur
ing August, will be the unveiling of the
monument to Daguerre, to the right of the
main entrance of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, which in America approaches near
est in character to the National Academy Of
France, by which was made known to the
world Daguerre's great discovery.
The design of the monument, modelled in
clay, attracted much attention recently at
the reception given at the Holbein Studios
in New York. 1t was the work of Jona-
than Scott Hartley, the sculptor.
The monument, which will be about 16 feet
high, will be constructed of granite and
bronze, the design being unique and
striking. Fame in reyerent attitude
encircles the head of Daguerre with laurel,
wreath of which also extends around the
globe, emblematic of the great benefit
photography has been to the human race.
The head of Daguerre, the medallion and
the figure of Fame will be in bronze, while
on the globe Of granite will be outlined the
great divisions of the earth. The figures
will be supported on a granite base, n
which will be cut in bold relief a model Of
the original camera invented by Daguerre.
The figure of Fame is full of life and grace,
and the whole composition is remarkable
for beauty and delicacy of conception.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Star saws a
large quantity of Unica Pacific stock is
said TO have been bought for investment
during the week. 1t is understood the Van
derbilts increased their holding. A Director
OF the Union Pacific said that while 1t was
possible that the NanderbiltS had bought
some Union Pacific stock, they did not
hold the control. The alliance Of the Chi
cago and Northwestern with the Union
Pacific gives the Vauderblts every benefit
1t Is possible for their system to derive
from the Union Pacific. The Vanderbilts
were told when the alliance was made that
tley would have representation in the
board, but they said they did not care to
have any voice in the directory of the
Union Pacific. The Director said that if
they had changed their minds it was not
necessary for them to buy Union Pacific
stock for that purpose.
BOsToN, April 1O.-The Union Pacific
people here know nothing of Wall-street
movements in stock. President Adams did
not know yesterday Of the advance in Union
Pacific stock until informed of 1t by in
quiry as to its cause. He said he knew
nothing Of it. The annual report of the
Union Pacific will be issued about April
2Oth. The only change now contemplated
in the directory is the election of a sue
cessor to the late David DowS. No plans
for further bond issues are now contem-
plated, neither is there any foundation for
the report OF a syndicate to purchase the
Government interest i'll the Union Pacific.

productions were the "Chapel of Glenthorn"
at the Ambigu, and the Rising CT the Sun"

views of Rome, Naples, London, Jerusalem

This reverse of fortune was soon, how

January 9, 1885, at q meeting of the Acad-

Importance of the discovery Of the daguer-

Sentatons made by him and Gay LuSsac to
the French Government Daguerre was ap-
pointed an officer of the Legion of Honor.
On the same day a bill was presented to the
Chambers, according TO the provisions of
which Daguerre and the heirs of Nepce
were to receive annuities of 5000 and 1000

discovered by which these camera obscura
pictures might be permanently retained.
About 1924 he began his experiments, and
toiled necessarily for years. Accident
brought his experiments to a triumphal
issue. He found that iodde of silver on a
polished copper plate was sensitive to light,
and when exposed in camera faint images
were impressed, which would gradually
fade away and could not be retained
One day he removed from his camera a
plate which, either from the shortness of
exposure to the light or the darkness of the
day, showed no sign OF an image He laid
this plate aside in a cupboard, intending to
clean the surface and use it some time
again. What was his surprise on taking
out the same plate the next morning to find
upon its surface a distinct and perfect
picture! Another plate was quickly ex-
posed for an equally short time in the
camera and again placed in the magic cup
board to remain over night, aud on going
to 1t the second morning he discovered
another beautiful picture.
The question now was which of the num-
erous chemicals stored in this cupboard
produced the marvellous effect. He finally
learned, by taking out one chemical each
day, that it was dish of mercury whose
vapors produced the magical result, and he
at once proceeded to apply the discovery
practically.
