 ALIEN LAND LAW.
 NEW ORLENs-The Picayune's Dal- las Texas, special says: The alien land law got another black eye today in Dallas. The forty-fourth judicial district court decided that plaintiff could not evade the payment of land secured note held by an alien com- pany on numerous substantial ground. The result of the cases carried to court thus far are very gratifying. as the Farmers Alliance law has done much to keep capital out of Texas since it's enactment.

Neither the Charleston Nor the Omaha
Chasing the Itata.
SAN Francisco, May S.-The cruiser
Charleston remained anchored at her
usual position in the harbor this morn
ing. The object of her visit here is not
definitely known, but has been stated to
be mark of honor to the late Minister
Swift, whose remains arrived yesterday
on the Belgic from Japan, and whose
funeral occurs ON Sunday next. One of
the officers of the cruiser, who was
ashore this morning, was seen
in regard to the story that the Charles
ton had been ordered in pursuit of the
Itata. He stated that the Charleston
had left Mare island for gun practice,
but in the meantime had been placed
by orders of the navy department at the
disposal of the committee having in
charge the obsequies of Minister Swift.
In the event OF orders being issued from
Washington to pursue the Itata they
would be in cipher, and nothing would
be known as to the vessels destination
until she was we'll ON her way.

THE BIG COKE STRIKE,
NO APPARENT IMPROVEMENT IN
THE SITUATION.
The Strikers Slowly Losing Ground The
Region Filling Up With Foreign I'm
ported Labor-Stupendous Losses.

PIrrsBURG, May S.-Foreigners are
coming into the coke region in bulk. An
operator said, today, he can turn 5000
men into the region in "a hours, but
cannot shelter them. The popularity
about this wholesale importation, is that
the strikers are as firm and unbroken as
ever, today. The labor officials say
there will soon be a plentiful supply of
money and tents for the needy, but this
they have been promising for weeks. 1t
is particularly noted that the aid pledged
from the Federation of Labor has not
yet made its appearance. The strikers
are losing ground, though the region as
a whole is making a poor showing in
coke shipments.
Outside of several pacific evictions,
and one occasion where "black-leg"
was obliged to quit work by the strikers,
all was serene today. The leaders and
men are preparing for as.-.vig-
orous campaign between this and
Monday, and will endeavor to
talk with every worker, either
by MACS meetings or individually, in
order to induce them to stop work. The
efforts of this concerted move will be
known Monday.
In addition to the inconvenience suf-
fered by the near town furnaces, owing
to the coke strike, general complaint
comes today from the Mahoning and
Shenango valley furnaces, that are esti-
mated to produce one-eighth of the pig
iron in the country. The furnaces in
these valleys shut down last January for
two months, but the coke strike came
hnr thaxys oXrnofod 10
resume, and for five months many
blast furnances in the valley have been
dead. The operators would be glad to
resume, but the coke supply is too weak
to be depended upon.
In figuring up the losses, no attention
has been paid to the railroads that are
really the greatest losers. The lines
running through the coke regions have
missed their 5000 cars of coke per week,
for three months, while the roads
in the Shenango and Mahoning valleys
for five months have found falling off
in shipments of millions of tons of coal,
iron ore and finished articles. All this
loss, exclusive of the wages of the men
on every side, and the profits of the coke
and furnace and mill men, will present
figures of loss almost beyond belief.
The ruins of Tuesday nights conha-
grafton were looted today by a mob of
Hungarian and Italian men, women and
children. No police were present, and
the crowd, knowing that beneath the
ruins were thousands of dollars worth of
goods, eatabes, etc., made raid. Hams,
cans of lard, other canned goods and
everything not destroyed that could be
gotten at was carried away. The crowd
numbered several hundred, and several
fights took place between them. They
were finally driven away by the firemen
still at work on the ruins.

MARSHAL GARD.
What the Baffled Officer Has to Say
About the Itata Affair.

About the Itata Affair.
Marshal Gard was expected home last
night, but did not arrive. The San
Diego Union of yesterday contains the
following interview with him:
The marshal, when questioned if any
thing of interest had passed between
himself and the authorities at Washing
ton in regard to the escape of the Itata,
said that since his report of that occur
renee had gone on he had received not a
word from the attorney-general.
"But you can depend on 1t the United
States government is not going to let
this thing drop just where it is. The
cruiser Charleston at San Francisco, if
ordered to do 80, could overtake the
Itata within week. And besides this,
our government has got in the San
Francisco, which is now in Chile, one of
the fastest men-of-war in any navy in
the world. 1t is not at all improbable
that she will be ordered to intercept the
pirate craft, and if she starts after her
she will get her; you can gamble on
that fact"
"How long did you intend to detain
the Itata?"
"Well, could not have held her very
much longer with libeling her, and |
think the captains knowledge of the
fact that libel was about to be clapped
onto the ship hastened his departure.
In case the Itata had been taken into
the courts, he could not have got out OF
here inside of eight months, and he was
we'll aware of that fact. That is where
the absurdity of the action proposed to
be taken by that meeting of the cham
Der OF commerce comes in. If they
wanted to make money out of the Itata,
they should not have protested against
our holding her. Ii she had been libeled
she would have spent $4,000 in San
Diego, instead of $4,000, before she
Left"
CHAMPIoNED BY A FRIEND.
A friend of Marshal Gard was seen
yesterday by HERALD reporter in this
city, and was indignant at the idea of
any blame attaching to the marshal for
the Itata's escape.
"You may be sure that when Gard
returns he will be able to show that he
has done his full duty in the matter,
and that no mistake on his part was
made. How could he keep the Itata by
force? He had only received orders to
detain her pending the filing of libel
papers, and no order was received to
libel her. The only possible thing that
Gard could do was to try to hold the
vessel peaceably until the libeling or
ders came. If he had tried to use force
there would undoubtedly have been an
extensive fight and lot of men killed,
and all he would have had to show
for such action would have been some
kilograms simply asking him to detain
the vessel. The sympathy of the San
Diegans was with the Itata, and he
could not have got much moral or phys
ical support from the city. There were
eighty soldiers at the barracks, but

have afforded abundant proof that the

Competency Questioned.

The Wage Question Dismissed-MaxwelP 9
Competency Questioned.
CHICAGO, May 8.--The worlds fair
directory this afternoon took action on
the question on the minimum scale of
wages demanded by the labor organiza-
tions, by discharging the conference
committee and adopting reso-
luton to have no more nego-
tiations on the subject. One of
the directors said this evening that the
concessions of eight hours, and arbitra-
tion made by the former directory,
ought to satisfy the men; that if there
is no question of wages or anything else
that cannot be covered by arbitration,
the committee did not see why so i'm
portant departure from the establish
ed usage, as the fixing of minimum
scale, should be made.
The appointment of Walter S. Max
well, of California, as chief of the horti-
culture department, was referred to a
special committee to investigate the
charges of incompetency preferred
against him, and to report to the next
meeting. Several horticulturalists, in
Guiding John Porpe, Of New York, were
at the meeting ready, if allowed. to
speak in opposition to Maxwell's confir-
nation.

the crew of the Esmeralda to the hold
OF the Itata, with their cutlasses and
muskets, and after the captain of the
war ship had himself gone aboard the
Itata the vessels parted, it being under
stood that the Esmeralda would wait off
San Lucas for the return OF the trans
port.
One of the deserters who gave these
facts was one of the marines who Law
hidden in the hold of the Itata, but
after spending about a weeks in those
stuffy quarters he deemed life ashore
preferable to his cramped position on
board, and jumped overheard Tuesday
night.
PREPARED TO FIGHT.
After the transfer at Cape San Lucas,
the Chileans who were slowed away in
the inner recesses Of the Itata knew
very little of all that was occurring.
They did know, however, that they were
prepared to take part in any fight that
might come along, 1t was an open
secret on board that they were to meet
the Robert and Minnie somewhere off
this port, but just where, they were not
informed. The captain OF the Esmeralda
being aboard, they acted under his
orders. He told them that they would
go back on board of their own ship at
Cape San Lucas, where she was waiting
for them, and then sail to Chile.
RATIoNs RUNNING SHORT.
Before leaving the man-of-war, their
rations were becoming pretty short; in
fact none of the marines on the battle
ships at the front had any too much to
eat, and the supplies which the Itata
purchased here were to be distributed
around as far as they would go.
When asked if the Esmeralda might
not have come north after the Itata left
her, the Chilean said that it was alto
gether probable that she had, as the
transport had not expected to remain
here as long as she did, and the officers
of the war ship probably feared that she
had got into some trouble.
The deserters are more intelligent
than the average Chilean seen in these
parts, and gave as their reason for leav-
ing the Itata that they wanted to see
more OF the northern country. They
had no cause to complain of the tire at
ment they received, either on board the
Esmeralda or the Itata.

there were hundred desperate, armed
men on the steamer, and if the two
forces had clashed, the loss OF life would
have been frightful, and Gard would
have had to answer for it. No sir; he
did all he could do. He received con-
fiicting instructions, / am told, from
United States District Attorney Cole,
and no definite instructions to proceed
to extreme measures from any one.
There was an Indignation meeting held
in San Diego, when this matter Of seiz-
ing the Itata first came up, but it was
not directed against Gard, but against
Collector Berry, and petition for his
removal, signed by a number of the
best people there, has been circulated.
No, sir; the public should not Judge of
this matter until Cards story is printed.
He is all right"
COMING HOME TO-DAY.
SAN DIEGO, May 8.-Marshal Gard and
his assistant will return to Los Angeles
tomorrow, unless ordered otherwise.
They expected to leave for the north
this morning, but received orders to re-
main here. They would give no infor-
nation as to what the special order con-
tanned, but it was intimated that they
expected to await the arrival of the
United States cruiser.

CATHOLIC EMIGRANTs.
Continental Churchmen Jealous of Irish
Supremacy in America.

ROME, May 8.-A memorial recently
presented to the pope in the name Of
all the United States emigration COM
mittees, who recently held congress at
900 to oeg as p0ps dsboes Wbo
nually emigrate. One point urged is
that national bishops should be appoint
ed for America to look after
emigrants from different ma
tionalities, as the petitioners assert that
the Irish bishops in the United States
only nominate Irish priests, who do not
know the languages spoken by the emf
grants. The result of this is that Cath
olic emigrants lose their religious faith.
At the Vatican, no allusion is made to
this project. Some believe the carrying
out Of the plan would have dire results.
1t would augment the division among
the Catholics now, when the pope desires
SO earnestly unity and concord.

that the Chilean man-of-war Esmeralda
which is now in the hands OF the insur-

had already been purchased by an agent
of the insurgents in New York and
shipped to San Francisco, to be placed
on some coasting vessel and transferred
to the Itata at some rendezvous
to be arranged later. The transport and

The San Francisco story that the Bal
maceda transport Imperiale is hoverlne
off the coast OF California, to capture the
Itata, is said at the navy department
to be without foundation, for Admiral
McCann's last report showed that a
month ago the Imperiale was shut up
in Valparaiso harbor by the insurgent
fleet, and it would manifestly be impos-
sible for her to have reached California
in q month.

Why not run this town on Central
time?" saws the st. Clairsville (Ohlo)
Belmont Chronicle. "Why not petition
the Commissioners, or whoever pre-
scribes the manner in which the Court
House clock keeps tale OF the hours, to
have it's hands indicate time thirty-siX
minutes slower than it now does? What
is the use Of having two sorts OF time?
1t leads only to confusion, and is a
waste of words, breath and mental en-
ergy. To strangers it is great annoy
ance, and 1t Is becoming not less bore
to townspeople. All railroads in Ohio
use Central Standard Time, and it has
come to stay.
Sat Wheeling Eastern standard time
prevails, which being just one hour
faster than Central, is easily distinguish
ed from 1t, when one has occasion to
visit Wheeling. But when our local
time is brought into the question, the
problem is no longer simple. For In
stance, the Northern train, which
reaches here at gil p. M, Central
standard time) leaves Bridgeport at
1:24. That is 2:24 in Wheeling, and one
can rely on it. But when one consults
ones watch, which is regulated by the
town chronometer, and attempts to
figure up just what the hands there
ought to indicate, one is hopelessly mud
died, or loses more time than one can
afford in the calculation.
m"Why not avoid all this bother OF spec
flying what sort Of time one means
when one speaks Of any time by doing
away bodily with local time? True,
local time has the sanction Of long
usage, and the warrant OF the sun him
self. But it makes little difference to
the sun whether he rises at 1880 or at
six minutes before seven. And In this
there is another point in favor of the
change, for those of us who now get up
at seven, more or less Qocal time) would
have just thirty-six minutes longer ses-
sion with our morning dreams. Certain
ly, quitting time OF an evening would be
slower coming, but there is all the time
in the world at night, while there is so
uncomfortably little of morning. Just
consider this thing"

cut off of the Island, to make up
for this, and allowing for four
lamps. out of the total OF 400.
not located, there was still one lamp to
be supplied to make up the requisite
eight. Placing the three lights cut OH
the Island on the Etnaville bridge, and
assigning the four lights not yet located
to the new Island bridge, still left the
one light to be found, and the circuit
overloaded. There are twenty-four
lights on No. 2 circuit before it reaches
the east end of the Island bridge, and
five of these must DO cut OF and as
signed to other circuits 20 equalize the
load. To do this will compel the Engi-
neer and Superintendent Bleoo 10 go
over about all the circuits north OF the
creek and rearrange things, taking up
a good deal OF time.

lights TO make submitted them, and the
following were allowed:

street and placed on Market street ex-
tension. 100 feet north Of Alley =.
Lamp taken from Twelfth street and
Alley C and placed on Chapline street In
front OF q. p. church.
Lamp taken from above "Top' mill
and placed at Baltimore and Ihirteehtn
streets. ~
Lamp taken from Twenty-fifth street

Lamp taken from Alley 81 and Eoff

on "Back" river bridge, as per contract
with Bridge Company.
These complete the changes, except
such changes as may be necessary ON
