THE STRIKERS TO BE Ev1crED.
Tho Notices Yesterday no Surprise To
tho Men.

MT. PLEASANT, Pa, April 9.-[Spe-
clalI-lnterest is conferred to-day in the
coroner's inquest, which re-opened at
noon. So far nothing important has
been ELECTED The strikers seem to
have renewed hope. Leaders have been
at work among them for the past few
days, and the effect is noticeable. The
men are holding off until to-morrow's
meeting, which was called by Master
Workman Wise. 1t is evident that some
concession is to be made by the strikers,
but just whatiti is cannot be ascertained.
The locked out men have been doing
missionary work. and there were less
men at work to-day than yesterday.
James Mcbride, of the miners execu-
tive board, says information was made
last night against Captain Loar and a
number of his deputies charging them
with murder. Warrants are now in the
hands of constables, and will be served
to-day. Mcbride said further that the
case would be pushed. Superintendent
Morris Ramsey, of the Norwood
works, commenced the serving of evic-
ton notices this morning. The usual
ten day notices were given the men, and
1T did not seem to surprise them. Sol
diers will not take any hand in the
evictions unless the strikers resort to
violence.
This afternoon Captain Loar and
thirteen deputies were arrested on the
charge of murder. They were taken to
Scottdale on the 2:40 train, where they
Will give bail for hearing later.

on the streets of Roanoke between IL
and IL O'clock

on the streets of Roanoke between II
and 12 o'clock
knmors were afoat yesterday that
Watkins had been arrested at Bedford
City, and the news was carried to Sa-
lem. This intensified the excitement
Of the negroes, which has been high
for the last two days.
Late in the afternoon q mob OF Sow
eral hundred negroes gathered around
the jail under tho impression that Wat.
kins had been secretly imprisoned. The
negroes declared that they would lynch
Watkins if they had to tear the iaii
to pieces. Sheriff Weber and a repre-
sentative of THE TINES spoke t. tho
negroes and assured them that Watkins
was not in Jail, and finally persuaded
them to dispense.
a telegram was sent to Governor Nc
Kinney asking him to call out the State
troops, but he replied that he did not
consider this step necessary.
1t was rumored in Salem that the
murderer had been brought to Roanoke
on the evening train, but telegram
was received from the authorities, ask
ing If the rumor was true The where
abouts of Watkins is still unknown.

A pamphlet which has been generally

A pamphlet which has been generally
scattered in eastern cities gives several ex-
agerated statements about the wealth, re-
sources and business Of the city of Helena,
and includes the declaration that the tenn
porary capital has an excellent supply of
water. VIGOROUSLY, Helena is desperately
in need of a water supply, and its wants in
this respect cannot be met without the ex-
penditure of a big pot of money.-Anacon-
da Standard.
Instead of being in need of a water
supply Helena has the best water sys-
tenn in Montana. Our water company
with it's present facilities can supply not
only this city but Butte and Anaconda
besides, and then have a surplus left.
We have a supply sufficient for $4,000 to
100000 people, The Standard should
come to town occasionally and see how
we have solved the water question sue
c~essfully for ten years to come. 1t

TIE more an evil practice or a fraud
is legislated against the more it seems
to thrive. The various trusts never
hourished so luxuriantly as they have
done since laws were enacted to crush
them. The law intended to destroy the
spurious trade has resulted in increas-
ing the traffic in oleomargarine, and the
moro the cigarette is legislated against
the more its consumption increases.
The output of cigarettes throughout the
country for the month of March
amounted to 250,50l,S $50, against 154,-
234, 800 during the same month Of last
year. This shows the enormous increase
of 96,267, 06O. The output of cigars
throughout the country for the month
of March amounted to 3~36,552,30O,
against 330,456,093 during the same
month of last year. These figures show
but the slight increas of 6,096,207 in
favor of March of the current year.

OO0,O00,) the exports then only amount
ing to 95O,6 GAG, 76O lire. The Review thus
paints the results:
Zone may easily imagine what dis
tress this falling off of more than an
eighth Of the exports must have
brought about in numberless industrial
families. But the rupture of CONNER
cial relations, having taken place under
conditions which led to political irrita-
ton, had still graver consequences in
the ruin Of public credit. The French
money market, which from time i'm
memorial had been that on which Ital-
ian finance chiefly leaned, was suddenly
closed. Italian paper ceased to be nego-
table and commercial bills to be dis
counted. Hence the extreme difficulty
which the state has had in tiding over
it's difficulties by ean Of financial eY-
pedients. Hence, also, the stoppage OF
a great number OF industries which de-
pended upon credit given by French dis
count banks. Foremost among these
industries is tho building trade, the
cessation OF which has thrown number
less bread winners out Of employment
and brought the plague Of pauperism,
with attendant starvation, on SO many
italian cities. What can be more heart
rending than the sight, for instance, in
the capital OF whole districts covered
with half FINISHED houses which were to
have been splendid %habitations, but are
now beginning to look like ruins. Never,
perhaps, was costly architecture SO
quickly or SO strikingly reduced to u
state Of ruin as in tho splendid neigh
borhood of the Villa Ludovisi, the Porta
Salaria, the Porta Pia, and the Pratt di
CASTILLO, each of which is a town Of
grandiose mansions, doorless, window
less, and rootless."

The McKinleyites would do we'll to
iake a lesson from the fate of poor
Italy which has also tried a policy of
hostile tariff legislation toward her
neighbors. Instigated by Germany and
her W foolish ambition. Italy a few
years ago broke her friendly trade rela-
tions with France and began a war of
tariff discrimination against her power
full neighbor. France promptly retalia-
ted in kind. The Contemporary Re-
view, in an interesting article, shows
how disastrous this discrimination has
been to Italy. In 1887 the exports OF
Italy amounted to 1,l09,659,531 lire. In
1883 they had fallen to 967,412,939 lire

THE 1rA.TA.

The Charleston has reached Callao on
the Peruvian coast, and still no news of
the Itata. IT the reiterated report is
true that the insurgents intend to peace
fally surrender the elusive craft to the
authorities Of the United States, We
presume that international law will set
tie the question in dispute. A better
escape from the rather awkward pre-
dicament we can scarcely imagine, and
the administration should feel inclined
to be grateful for it's possible good for
tune. II the Charleston had succeeded
in the object OF its voyage, it would
have captured the insurgent vessel
either on the high seas, or, perhaps, in
some foreign port, both OF them dis
tinctly outside the jurisdiction Of this
country. That, we believe, is a pre-
cedent to be carefully guarded against.
In possible controversies with foreign
powers, it might in the future place this
country in a very ugly corner, from
which we should hardly escape without
a greater pecuniary expense than we
might have averted by the forcible
seizure of the Itata.
A reference to the briefs of our own
counsel in the celebrated Alabama case
makes it plain that our home authori-
ties took a decided position on the point
that on the high seas or in a foreign
mort a neutral power may not capture a
vessel, unless she is a SLAYER, a pirate,
an enemy or a craft Of the country that
makes the capture. This standpoint is
maintained by later and reliable authori-
ties on international law. The Itata is
certainly not a SLAYER. She cannot be said
to be an enemy, for this country IS at
peace with all the world. AS certainly
she is not an American craft, and the
only ground on which We could take a
stand in defense of her capture, would
be that she is a pirate. Rather shaky
ground that is. A pirate is defined to
be a vessel which sails under the flag OF
no recognized power, and preys upon
the commerce of every nation. The
first half of the description might fit the
Itata fairly we'll, for as an insurgent
craft she was not floating the flag of any
recognized power. But as regards the
second part of the accusation, the de
Tense might adapt the Weller form Of
legal tactics and prove an "alibi."
The news of the vessels surrende,
will be good news. Whatever part,
prevails at the close of the CHILEAN war
we shall be in a safe position. II Bal
maceda succeeds in keeping his grasp OF
power, we can point with satisfaction t.
the means we took to prevent the sue
cessful accomplishment Of the Itata'
mission. If the congressional part
overthrows the present government, tn
surrender of the vessel by the msur
gents themselves will leave no room TO
bitter feeling between the two coun
tries. Sitting on the fence has it's ad
vantages occasionally.
