TO WED WINNIE DAVIS.
The Daughter of the Confederacy Chooses
n Yankee Husband.

New YORK. April 16.-A special from
Syracuse, n. Y. says the announcement
is made there OF the betrothal of Miss
Winnie Davis, daughter of the late JEFF
ferson Davis, to Alfred Wilkinson, of
Syracuse, a grandson of the great Abo-
liti0niSt leader, Rev. Samuel j. May.
Mr. Wilkinson is a lawyer, about IS
years Of age, and stands very high in
the community, He first met Miss
Davis on the occasion of the visit Of
that lady to Syracuse, about four years
ago.
1t will be remembered that Miss Da-
Wis received very cool reception from
one or two families in Syracuse, and this
treatment is said TO have brought her
and Mr.. Wilkinson in very close rela-
tions. He resented the GOODNESS shown
her, and gallantly championed her
cause. The friendship thus engendered
between them bloSsomed into love in due
time. About two months ago Mr.. Will
kinson went to Europe to see Miss Da-
Wis. and spent several weeks with her on
the Continent. The time for the we'd
ding has not been set, but it is under
stood that the date will be in the near
futurc

GREAT ARMY IDLE.
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND BUILDERS IN THE
CHICAGO STRIKE.
All the Allied Trades Compelled 70 Join the
Carpenters in Their Srike-BIldng
Paralyzsl-BOston Working Men
Excited.

Chicago, April 16.-The embargo
placed by the striking carpenters on
building operations in Chicago cOntin-
ues effective. The officials veto on labor
extends not only to all of their own
craft, but now embraces nearly all the
trades employed in architectural work.
At the close OF work last evening the
great majority of the bricklayers, plas-
tcrers, fathers, painters and plumbers
were laid off indefinitely. There was
no more work for them to do. All lines
of work had reached the stoppage place,
beyond which they could not go with
out the assistance Of the carpenters.
Nothing was doing to-day. The bosses
did not even attempt TO start up work.
At the strikers headquarters the usual
morning reports came in and the were
all of the same tenor, nothing doing.
\ GREAT ARMY IDLE.
At the strikers headquarters it was
estimated that $4,000 men connected
with the various building trades were
idle as the result of the carpenters
strike. The strikers to-day secured
permission to parade tomorrow. They
propose to have 1900 men in line, hut
to keep their pickets out as before.

PAUPER LABOR CURSE.
Powderly's Testimony of Labor in the Land
of Protection.

NEW YORK, April l6.-Among the
witnesses heard by the Congressional
Subcommittee on immigration at its
session to-day in the Office Of the Emil
grafton Commissioners at Castle Garden,
was Master Workman Powderly. Mr..
Powdcrly said he was of the opinion
that foreign labor is on the increase
in this country. He had noticed al the
railroad station in Scranton. Pa, forty
citizens of the United States who were
going back To their native country
(Scotland) because they could not work
for the wages paid TO the labOrererS who
had been imported in large drovcS.
These foreigners work in the mines and
on the railroads at starvation wages and
live like animals in the wooden sheds.
'IIow about the morals Of those inn
migrantS?" the witness was asked.
"Well," he replied, 'it is frequent
occurrence for one woman TO live with
forty men. We are sending missiona-
rics to Africa. and yet import heathcnS
by the thousand. These people work
for from fifty cents to 81 per day. while
the men whose places they have taken
received from Sl.50 to -. 10 per day"
Witness thought there should be a
test decided upon for admission to citi-
zenShip, and that education should be
compulsory.

form rate of duty upon all important
articles. This would have been mani
festly unjust and inequitable. The
committee closes its argument upon the
general subject OF the tariff by a quota
ton from the last annual message Of the
President, and then proceeds to discuss
the details OF the bill.
\ BOUNTY on SUGAR.
OF the metal schedules the report says
that no reduction can be made in pig
iron or ore duties without detriment to
existing industries, and the committee
has not felt justified in interfering with
the further development Of our iron re-
sources, now so promising In the South
ern States. or sugar the report says
the committee recommend that sugar up
to and including No. l6 Dutch standard
of color, and molasses, be placed ON the
free list, with duty of four-tcnths OF
one cent per pound on refined sugar
above No. IL, and that bounty OF
cents per pound be paid from the treas
ury for period OF fifteen years for all
sugar pOlarizing at least s. per cent.
made in this country from cane, beets
or sorghum produced in the United
States.
FALSE PROMISES FOR TIE FARMER.
Coming to agricultural products, the
report says the committee has given in
ycstigation To existing conditions OF
agricultural and kindred matters. IL
says: THAT there is widespread depreS-
sion I'm this industry cannot be doubted.
Every remedy within the scope Of prac-
teal legislation known To us has been
recommended To meet the urgent re-
qulremcnt Of the situation. 4 critical
examination of the subject will show
that agriculture Is suffering chiefly from
a most damaging competition in
our home market. The increase in
importations of agricultural products
since 1850 has been enormous. amount
ing from so. 900. .OOO TO more than $3.50
600. 900 in 1889. The worlds market to
which the advocates OF tariff for revenue
only invite the farmers OF this country
is to-day crowded with the products of
the cheapest human labor the earth az
fords. =" The committee recon-
mendcd an increase upon agricultural
products.
OF the internal revenue sections the
committee. after rectng them. say it
has recommended the repeal Of all
statutes imposing restrictions upon
farmers and growers Of tobacco. so that
they will sell with freedom.
