END OF A LONG STRIKE.

Decision Given by the ArbitratOrs in the
London Carpenters Dispute.
The long-contested strike of the carpenters
Of London was nominally ended yesterday
by the decision of the arbitrators selected
to decide the questions at issue between the
men and their employers, but the journeymen
carpenters are not all satisfied with the de-
cision.
The arbitrators held number Of meetings,
at which all the questions affecting the trade
were reviewed at great length. They decided
that it would not be expedient for the masters
to grant the demands of the men for higher
wages the conditions Of the trade in their
opinion not warranting such or any increase
in wages
1t will be recalled that the men were also
dissatisfied with their hours of labor and while
asking for more money demanded that the
working day be shorter.
The arbitrators decided that the hours we're
too long, and on this point their decision gives
slight concessions. The men, however, strongly
express their disapprovai of the arbitrator
award. They declare that if they accept the
decision given today it will be only for u short
time, and they predict that the next time they
strike the struggle will be fiercer than the one
they hoped to win by arbitration.
The strike, which it was hoped the decision
Of the arbitrator would end, has lasted elk
months.

NORTH DAKOTA WHEAT,

One-Third Of 1t Reported to Be Standing
Unthreshed.
A special dispatch from Minneapolis, Mimi,
says:
Hundreds Of men have returned from North
Dakota, where they have been assisting at
threshing. They say that at least one-third OF
the wheat is still unthreshed. but that they
could not remain there with the tempera-
ture lowering about the zero point.
Frederick Ames, the owner of thresh-
ing outfit, said he had been threshing
in Grand Forks and Walsh counties. He says
Tor the entire distance between Park River
and Grafton, eighteen miles, there is almost
one-half OF the grain still in shock and in such
condition as to make threshing impossible. The
men are leaving in droves from the north and
making for the cities.
Oscar Miller of Grafton is here trying to get
men to go to North Dakota, offering as much
rs "a day and board. Thresher Bliss says
there are plenty of threshing machines in the
country, but that it is impossible to get men IL
man them. Most of the farmers OF
North Dakota are unable to fur
nish sleeping quarters for the hands
and sleeping in barns and straw stacks
with the thermometer at zero is impossible
even at "a day The returned harvesters say
on Tuesday rain set in from the southwest
the wind turned to the north and
rain became sleet and snow. All the
wet shocks froze stiff and it is i'm.
possible to get them through the machines
Some efforts have been made to carry on the
work, but the grain threshed out Of the frozen
shocks thawed after being put in the bins and
became useless on account Of heating.

1ney ARC Driven Back to Their Quarters by
wreckcrs at Kinsalc.
There was a full-fedged riot yesterday at
kinsale between mob of wreckers and num-
Der Of coast guardsmen who were detailed to
protect the remains and cargo Of the wrecked
ship Guelph. The dispute arose out of the at
tempt upon the part of the coast guardsmen to
prevent one Of the wreckers from starting away
with some cargo washed ashore which the
native" had just rescued from the surf. The
wrecker defended his booty to the utmost Of
his ability, and some Of his comrades went to
his assistance. This movement resulted in tho
rest OF the coast guardsmen taking hand in
the struggle. and a general free fight followed.
The coast guardsmen, who are all veteran men,
numbered, drew their revolvers and side arms.
upon the coast guardsmen tooth and nair'
and literally gave them a sound thrashing, took
away their revolvers and side arms and drove
the coast guardsmen, covered with mud and
bruises. back to their barracks.
Not content with this victory the wreckers
stole two large cart loads of cargo and spirited
their booty away to parts unknown. There is
much rejoicing, in consequence, where the hu-
initiation Of the coast guardsmen is being dis
cussed on all sides, while in certain quarters
the health of the wreckers is being toasted up
roariously. The local authorities however, do
not intend to let the matter rest in this shape
The coast guard stationed at Kinsale has been
largely reinforced, and mounted and foot con-
stabulary are securing the neighboring county
in search of the bold wreckers:
