tempt to start up work to finish contracts
with n%on-union men. The movement
was not general, as few non union men

master carpenters continue putting non
union men at work a general strike of
bricklayers and masons will be ordered.
Judge Prendergast of the county court
today rendered a decision of importance
to the striking carpenters. He ordered
the ~ass.gnees of the firm which had th,
contract for the woodwork of tie biz
Rand & McNallY building, to go aheaC
with the work and concede all the de
mands made by the carpenters. He also
informed a deputation of strikers that he
would take no action affecting their inter

NEW YORK, April IA Copenha,

rible murder of a factory messenger some
time ago by one Philipsen. a soapmaker,
VINO had confessed and said he ~strangled
the messenger for money he was carrying
and packed the body in a barrel of lime,
which he shipped to a fictitious name at

barrel arrived here by the steamship

charges paid by MIR. Smith" and con
signed to Beresford Bros, Racine, Wis,
Wells Fargo 4 Co. being named as
the forwarders. The cask was sent
to the appraisers Office, where the head
was taken off and a little of the contents
examined, having the resemblance of
plaster of paris. The cask was then re-
headed and set aside with the duty fixed
at 81. 90. The express company wrote to
Racine and learned that no such firm was
there. Word was then sent to Mr..
Smith" In Copenhagen, but of course no
reply was received. When Philipseu's
confession was made the authorities
cabled the Danish consul here and the
cask was examined by the customs off
Gals. A body was found in 1t in a fair
state of preservation, though those who
opened the cask were driven way before
more than one hand and the side of the
face had been uncovered. 1t is not yet
known what disposition will be made of it.

WASHINGTON, April l4.-An air OF
sadness pervaded the house when the
speakers gavel called that body to order.
Draped in black and ornamented with a
handsome floral design, the seat long
occupied by Randall recalled to the mem
bers the fact that their old colleague had
passed away forever, The crayon nor
trait of the ex speaker which hung in the
lobby was also tasteiully draped with the
emblems of mourning. In his prayer the
chaplain made a touching a~llusion to the
dead CONGRESSMAN. and when he had con
cluded O'Neill of Pennsylvania delivered
a briet eulogy and then offered a resolu
ton of regret at Randalrs death and pro-
viding for a committee of nine members
OF the house to attend the funeral. The

CHICAGO, April IA The full text of
the report of overnmeut Director Spauld-
irG, of the Union Pacific, of which men
ton was made in yesterdays dispatches,
is printed to-day. Referring to the Pa
cifs Northwest, Spalding tells OF the
wonderful growth of Portland, Seattle,
Spokane, Tacoma aud other points In
Oregon and Washington. 1t ID certainly
to the interest of the Union Pacific, he
says, that it should be free to Lush its ex-
tension tOrpard in this fruitful field. The
extensive business that emanates from the
Puget sound basin now will be quadrupled
within a decade. In Spaulding's estIma-
ton it is imperatively demanded of the
management of the Union Pacific that it
should push its Northwestern extensions
until it has afforded Puget sound
cities all the facilities they require. Sc
attic, Tacoma and Port Townsend will
welcome the Union Pacific and extend to
it privileges aud franchises which are now
valuable, but which a few years hence
will be simply priceless. Having made
these connections, it will be the great
est railway system in the world.
In speaking of the matter OF the set
Element of the debt to the government,
Spaulding says the Union Pacific is Ger
tainly a solvent creditor whose business is
certainly increasing and whose assets are
more than sufficient to meet any obliga
ton it has incurred, He asks that its
obligations be adjusted In a businesslike
way to give it an opportunity OF wiping
them out withOat running the stock. He
bases his opposition to the extreme views
of some who cry Tor the seizure
Of the roads. etc., on the ground
that the good of the public is not to be
subserved by the threats they make. The
inability of the Northern Pacific to meet
its obligations precipitated the panic of
1873. Let not con gress follow out the
line OF policy which will make it impossi
bic for the Union Pacific to remain sol
vent, and which may shock the financial
world IN 1897. The question ought to be
settled by congress at once. The com
pany should be placed in the position Of
a debtor solely and be permitted to man
age its own affairs without let or hin,
drance from the government. National
interference in its management has only
resulted in embarrassing it heretofore.
1t is bound to result so hereafter. Spald-
ing speaks in high terms of praise of the
present management of the Union
Pacific.

SAGINAW, Mich, April l4.-The acct.
dent to the steamer Handy Boy yester
day seems to have been the result of
gross negligence. The man at the wheel
was inexperienced, and the current car
ried the boat along so rapidly hat he lost
his head at the decisive IN and
turned the wheel in the wrong direction.
10 the excitement he then tried to signal
the engineer to stop. but instead signalled
go ahead at full speed" The boat
struck a bridge, and all the upper works
and passengers were swept into the river.
Many were rescued by small craft pulling
out from the shore, but some we're lost.
The number is believed to be seven, but
as no bodies have been recovered, it is
impossible to say with any certainty.
Twelve or fifteen persons were slightly in
jured. The wheelman, fireman and engi'
neer are under arrest, bat Capt. Dolsen
made his way ashore Immediately after
the accident and has not yet been appre
hended.
The following Is believed to be a com
plete list of the victims of the steamer
Handy Boy disaster of yesterday: Mrs.
Nevins, Mrs. Montgomery. Mrs. Walsh.
Miss Haight and Miss 0Sen. 1t is re
ported that two men were also drowned.
but this can't be verified. Capt. Doleson

SAN Francisco. April l4.-According
to the prophecy of Mrs. Woodwork, Geo.
Erickson and several other revivalists
who created considerable excitement in
Oakland some time ago. this was the day
OF which San Francisco and Oakland
we're to be destroyed by an earthquake
and tidal wave, and the cities of Chicago
and Milwaukee we're to suffer the same
calamity. There have been no indica
tons Of any CONFUSION of natu here.
bnt the doom s~ealers," as they have
been termed, held their faith up to the
last moment. Several hundred persons
who became believers in the predictions
have been leaving Oakland for high
ground during the past week or two and
today they were encamped in the hills
near Santa Rosa, St. Helena and Vaca-
vile holding religions services and wait
ing news of the destruction.

Maggie Goes Free.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE cele
brated Maggie habeas corpus case, from
California, was decided by the United
States supreme court to-day. the iudg
ment of circuit court being affirmed.
This finally disposes of all proceedings
against Maggie for shooting Judge Terry
In the railway station at Lathrop, Cal.
on the 4th OF last August to prevent him
from taking the life of Justice Field. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Miller.
After the shooting Maggie was arrested at
Stockton by state officers but released on
a writ OF hsbeas corpus, based on the
ground that Maggie. who was acting under
instructions, merely performed his duty
as an officer o. the United States. 1t was
on an appeal from this order that the
case was brought before the United States
supreme court.
After a review OF the facts leading up
to the assault. including the imprison,
ment Of Terry Tor contempt in knocking a
marshal down in open court and then
pursuing him with a drawn bowie knife,
and after r~eciting also the numerous
threats made by Terry against Justice
ElClos AAA ohJos
1T is useless to 20 over the testimony
on this subject more particularly than
this. 1t is sufficient to say that the evil
dence is abundant that both Terry and
his wife contemplated some attack upon
Justice Field during his visit to California
in the summer OF 1889. which they in
tended should result in his death. Many
of these matters were published 10 the
naUananara and tho nVaGa nj (NalTfnTnIa
was filed with conjectures OF a probable
attack by Terry upon Justice Field as
soon as it became known that he was
going to attend the circuit court of that
year" The opinion then recited the cor
respondence between the attorney general
and the United States marshal in Cali
fornia, directing the latter to use unusual
caution for the protection oil Justice Field
against the violence OF Terry. This cor
.respondence resulted 10 Nagle's appoint.
meut as deputy marshal, with special in-
structions to attend Justice Field both in
court and while travelling between courts,
and protect him from violence.
After reviewing all the facts bearing
upon the homicide. the opinion says they
produce upon the our the conviction of
a settled purpose on the part of Terry
and wife. amounting to conspiracy, to
murder Field, and we are quite sure if
Maggie had been merely a brother or
friend of Judge Field, travelling with him
and aware of all the previous relations OF
Terry to Judge Field. as he was. of his
bitter animosity aud his declared pur-
poses to have revenge, even to the point
of killing him, he would have been justi-
fed in what he did in defense of Fields
life and the possibility OF losing his own
