The Citizens VIII Endeavor to Bring
About a settlement of the Strike.
PITTsBURG, April Reports from diff
ferent sections of the coke country show
slight gain for the operators for this, the
second day of the resumption, after the
paralysis that followed the Morewood
fatality. The citizens of the region are
preparing to hold meetings and demand
some sort ofsettlement, as business is be-
ing ruined.
Tables have been prepared showing
that the miners lost in wages during the
eight weeks strike 81 ,200, 600, while the
operators loss and neglect is incalculable.
Still the operators seem determined to
resume at their terms, while the miners
say they will not go back unless starved
out.
Several plants partially resumed to-day.
There is a general impression, however,
that settlement of some sort will soon
be made.
This evening Master Workman Wise
issued call for a special convention of
the entire coke region, including the or
ganized and non-union miners, to be held
on Friday. The object is to consider the
present situation, and devise ways and
means to bring the strike to an end.
AT MOUNT PLEASANT.
MOUNT PLEASANT, PENN, April =
Fifty more men went to work this morn
ing at Morewood, making total number
at the ovens of about one hundred. The
arrests yesterday were followed by a
number of others to-day. Considerable
ill-feeling is engendered against Superin-
tendent Ramsey over the report that Frick
would import men. Threats are made
against him, and this morning number
of strikers gathered about his residence.
AS their actions aroused suspicion the
militia was called out and the men driven
away. Several shots were fired but no
one was hurt. Dispatches from various
sections of the region indicate partial
resumption at the different works. The
operators are encouraged and assert they
will soon have their plants in full opera
ton.
The situation is more serious this after
noon. AT $50 the Southwest Coke Com
pany notified Captain Loar that the
strikers were assembling in the vicinity
of their works ostensibly for parade. 1t
is believed, however, raid on the plant
is contemplated. Reinforcements from
the Tenth Regiment were sent to the
scene with extra ammunition. The men
were instructed to fire upon any one
entering the lines.

that according to the semi-official news
which has been received from Berlin, the
general European situation is regarded in
the German Capital as threatening.
FRANCE AND GERMANY.
BERLIN, April IA tremendous sensa-
political circles in Berlin by the appear
ance of a pamphlet, written by General
Bogaslansky of the Russian Army, on
the relative strength of the French and
German military establishments. The
writer asserts that the effective military
force of France is stronger than that of
Germany by 100000 men and declared
that if the military systems of the two
powers remain unaltered for the next
twenty years the superiority of France
will be trebled. The artillery of France,
the General says, is altogether the best
equipped Of any similar service in
Europe. Germany, however, has ninety
i've regiments of cavalry, while France
has but eighty-three, but the latter is al
legged to be the more efficient in the matter
of expert handling. The German military
authorities, however, despite the state
ment, dispute the correctness of the fig
ures given by the writer and ridicule his
deductions. Still, the pamphlet has Gre
ated great t1utter, and it is stated upon
good authority that its circulation will be
prohibited in Germany.

Tupper'S Mission to Washington as
Viewed by the Press.
TORONTO, April THE Empire Gov
ernment organ), referring to Tupper's
mission TO Washington and the postpone
ment of the discussion of trade matters,
says: While it might have been more
satisfactory to have had the question at
issue dealt with Immediately, there seems
to be no reason for regret in the circum-
stance which led to the postponement, as
they are favorable to the ultimate success.
The Globe says the result is a bumiliat-
ing failure. The last hope of access to
the markets of the United States through
the Tory Government seems to have dis
appeared and Canada must reap the con-
sequence of the folly of and yirulence
and bungling of their rulers, and of the
recent indorsation of a Government
which dare not move beyond the limits
fixed by the Restrictionists.
The Mail says: The whole course of
discussions and negotiations up to this
point serves to show two thingS-firSt
that If any arrangement is to be reached
it will not take the form of an actual
treaty, but of an agreement to submit
it to concurrent legislation, and, second,
that an agreement based upon natural
products only is out of the question.

this morning Warren was again on the

him some clothes about three months ago
which he identified as August's. He had
on the same clothes the day after the
murder he had on the day before.
Eugene Seine said he had sheep on
shares with Ivett. He had settlement
on Saturday. Staid all night and went
home Sunday. Did not know of the
murder until the Sheriff told him when
he summoned him to attend the inquest
Bennett, the convict, was then recalled
at the request of defense to show letter
to friend. He was asked if he was the
author, and said yes. The spectators
thought something great was going to
happen, but when Hatton read it it turned
out merely to be private letter to one
Varein and not connected with the case
at all.
Noon recess was announced.
Perdlnltla POrteO was examined this
afternoon, and said he went to Iyett's
ranch the evening before the murder and
stayed there all night. He saw Olsen
there. Early next morning he went to
Merced Falls, and soon the news of the
murder cames and he returned to the
ranch.
The defense seem to be trying in their
crosS-eXaminatiOnS to make it appear to
the jury that most anyone on the ranch
could have done the deed and not have
been suspected.
