The sale offlowers by auction Is one OF
the sights of Covent Garden. The stands
in the wholesale fiariSeti ARE furnished
over night, and the building ID open for
private buyers att4 o'clock next morning
but all their business is over at 9 O'Clock.
The visitor VINO attends these purely trade
functions has the advantage of a very
charming flower show, covering Something
like three-quarters of an acre of space
upon Which are arranged tier above tier
| of blossoning plants, sometimes extend
ing up and down, in and out, to a total
frontage of eco yards
The auctioneer, who takes his rostrum
at 10 o'clock, addresses himself toShe men,
who are called 'higglers,'' a kind of mid
dlemen, who purchase the flowers in lots
and sell them TO the small retailers. The
flower girls cannot afford to trade until
the general customers have had their pick
of the choicest wares; but, taught by I,
sharp experience, they are able to drive
very smart bargains, and know precisely
! what to purchase.
The pale faced children of the alleys and
! by streets of tins densely populated west
! central district diligently haunt the pur-
| lieus in the spring. They have heard OF
/ green fields and buttercups and daisies;
| perhaps have been told that the swallow
/ and cuckoo hasten over sea to spend a
merry summer in English meadows and
copses, but the punches and baskets OF
| flowers which here fill them with delight
and wonderment are the only evidence OF
such pleasant things hitherto vouchsafed
! to them
They are to them tokens of an unknown
world The daffodils, being brightly
! golden and of respectable size, strike them
most, as they very'likely strike all classes
of visitors When March is going out like
a roaring lion, and the London streets are
swept by hail and rain, it is pleasant to turr
into Coveut Garden and pass these flow
ers in review. The'wonder is how such
! quantiti6s of violets, primroses and daffo
dis can be collected.-Good Words

The Hoosier Poet.

Riley writes from life. The poet lives on

hotel, then with his sister; the next he is
off somewhere lecturing. Think of it,

my life, and don't know what it is to have

"Everyw here, !" he answered. Sometimes
on the kitchen table in my sisters house,
then in the parlor, and again on the print
er's case-just where the fancy seizes me.

written on the end of tall standing desk
in obedience to the EDITORS cry for copy.

For What Purpose are They Filling uI
the Locks?

The president stopped twelve minutes
at the Cascade Locks. No official of the
numerous army of paid hirelings was
there to ask him to take a look at the
most important public works on the
continent. His escort would take him
out of the cars to see Multanomah Falls
and Taffe's fish wheels at Cello but
there was no time to see the Locks.
Can it be possible that the reason for
this lay in the fact that the officials at
the Locks have commenced to fill the
excavation up again. A gentleman who
was down there yesterday says they have
built tram-way reaching out across the
canal, and are hauling loose stones and
gravel on train cars and dumping the
stuff into the canal. They have it filled
up nearly the whole way across, near
where the middle gate is to be. What
their intention is no one seems to know
unless it is to spend the money so as to
retard the work. Loose gravel and rocks
are not fit material to make dam, even
if dam were wanted. We presume it
is another kind of a dam altogether they
are after.

During a Debate.
LONDON, April 15.-In the House Of Com
mons to-day the bill making the closing of
pubic houses in Ireland on Sundays aud in
elroing in its scope the cities Of Dublin,
Cork, Belfast, Waterford and Limerick,
passed its second reading by n vote OF 24S

which preceded the vote Mr. Parnell pro-
tested against applying the measures set
forth IN II 10 tho city Of Cork or tho other
Irish cities
Mr.. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland.
said Mr.. Parnell was not inconsistent In
supporting the measure against Irish opin-
lon, because Mr.. Baltour always main
tanned that the imperial parliament ought
to decide such questions This, however,
was not the case with the liberals. The
Inter had been urging for years that the
Irish members should decide Irish matters
upon the elementary question as TO how
lrlshmen ought to eat aud drink the liber-
ais might have shown greater attachment
to the principles they had proclaimed on
English platforms

TRAOYIS REFORMS.

Foremen and Master Mechanics at
New York to be Removed.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Seeretary Tracy
issued an order to-day in furtherance OF his
new scheme of civil service reform in the
navy yards. He declares all positions Of
foremen and master mechanics in the New
York yard vacant after June l, and con
veneS a board Of naval officers there MAY l
to hold an examination May II of applicants
for vacated places. The examination
will be practical in its character; referring
exclusively to the requisites of the positions
to be filed. The autecedents and experience
of the applicants in their trades, and the
character Of their previous work are to be
inquired into, as we'll as their physical fit
ness, regulations, characters and habits.
THE BOARDS REPLY.
The board will report through the COM
mandant Of the yard specifying the men
best fitted for the positions. The order also
announces that similar positions in the
Norfolk yard will be vacated July /, and a
similar board ordered to convene there June
s. 1t is probable that corresponding action
will be taken in regard to the Washington
yard during the summer. The board will
consist Of Capt. F. NJ. Bunce, Chief Engi-
Deer David Smith, Commander Charles
O'Neill. Commander Chadwick, Naval

that the secretary promptly checks the at.
tempt made by Premier Rudini TO commit
the United States 10 a promise TO pay an
indemnity by pointing 10 the guarded Ian
guage of his first dispatch and Indulglng in
a number of qualifications, the purpose of
which is to require complete demonstration
OF several matters that may be very
hard to demonstrate. Such, for instance,
is the fact required to be legally shown that
the Louisiana officials connived at the kill
ing Of the Italians, or that they purposely
failed 20 perform their duties. lt is also sig
nlfcant that the secretary has SO far found
small authority for the assumption in some
quarters that the United States may prose-
cute the guilty parties in its own tribunals.
but it appears that the department OF JUS
tice is still wrestling with the problem.

No Material Change in the Situation
Among the Strikers.
ScoTTDALE, PA, April 15.-Many breaks
in the rauks Of the coke workers are having
most disheartening effect on the men.
The officials report steady run OF applica-
tions for work, and the coke shipments,
though small, are growing. Frick &c Co.
shipped 100 cars OF coke to-day aud the
Mcclure Company 10. Notwithstanding
this there are certainly 400 strikers idle
in the region today.
George Ager, one Of the evictad miners,
was placed back in his home by a mass Of
strikers aud told to remain there. The
company officers say he will be evioted
again tomorrow, by force il necessary.
Some excitement WAS also created by a
report that Hungarians will be shipped on
from the east to take the places of the
strikers.
Mass meeting are being held everywhere,
and the promises are made that liberal
supply Of money will sooE be on hand.
There is no doubt that the men
were utterly unprepared at all the works
for such long strike, and the money and
provisions given out have been inadequate
TO the grinding demands. The men who
have gone and are daily going back to
work are driven there by actual necessity y
and the remarkable paucity Of assistance
from their organization.
MORE EVICTION NOTICES.
Eyiction notices have besn served at
nearly all the works in the Fayette county
emo Of the region, and as these notices ex-
pired to-day a number Of peaoeable evic-
tions took place. A snag was struck at
Aorgan's. however, and the deputies
telegraphed that they were in
fear Of their lives. Sheriff Nc
Cormick wired them to hold Off until
tomorrow, when he will appear with rein
forcements and evictions will begin by
wholesale. The officers Of the Frick COM
pany are greatly worried tonight at re-
port that the Tenth regiment will oe with
drawn Saturday or Monday. They pre-
dict certain trouble If the militia leave.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 15.--Iu spite Of
the peaceful uttorances of the government

making extensive preparations for war, and
her rivals are, on their side, making counter

in tha construction of strategic
railways, and in this and other
ways arrangement for the transportation
of large bodies Of Russian troops TO the
AustrosGerman frontier have been almost
completed. This movement OF the Russian
forces towards the frontier of Germany and
Austria would, four years ago, have
required six months time, while by the use
OF the new strategic railroads only a
