Furious Strikers.

Strikers to the number OF nearly L.
600 attacked Frick's coke factory at
Morewood, Pa, at 2 o'clock on the
morning of the 3Oth ult. They des-
troyed some coke ovens and railway
track and broke windows in the esever-
al houses. Several OF the raiders were
arrested and taken to Greensburg jail.
Riots are also reported at Leisenring
and I4eith and considerable property
destroyed. There is great excitement
throughout the coke country and SER
ious trouble IS apprehended. The
coke troubles have assumed q new
phase, and now threaten to develop
into war between the operators and
labor organizations. Mr.. Frick stat
ed that heretofore lie had not antag-
onized labor, but in the future he did
not propose to stand idly by and see
his property destroyed. He claims
the men are satisfied with the scale OF
wages he offered, but that the labor
leaders will not permit them to return
to work, as their positions depend up
on the success OF the strike. The
fight from this time will be bitter.
A dispatch from Scottdaln, Pa,
says: There was rioting at a large
number of coke plants on the 3Oth
ult. A mob of 1,5CO infuriated strik.
ers swept down on the Jimtown plant,
routed the workmen, assaulted sever
al men and threatened the superin-
tendent's life. A bomb was set off at
West Leisinring, and the men notified
not to go to work. The Leith works,
near Uniontown, were also raided and
the workmen put to flight. Thelabor
leaders are trying to allay the excite.
ment, as other riots are feared. The
H. G. Frick Coke company officials
have notified the sheritfs to increase
forces. A number OF mass meetings
We're held throughout the region.

Coal and Gas as Fuels,

By c. F. Prichard in Scientific American.
The fuel gas business will not revolu.
tionize the heating business, as enthu-
siasts would have us believe; and this
is so because of cost. If q person
burns 10 tons Of coal during winter
to heat his house, he will apply 26O,-
100000 heat units to this purpose.
To obtain this heat from Illuminating
gas Of 20 candle power, at TOO heat
units per foot, would require $4,000
feet; if from fuel gas, OF 800 heat units
per foot, it would require 8l2, ,OOOfeet
the waste heat going to the chimney
either case. With coal at SO per ton
the cost would be $50; with liluminat-
ing gas at 81 per 1000, the cost
would be S37O; and fuel gas at SO
cents, $406. The extra cost is 80 ex.
cessive that no one seriously thinks of
house heating or OF steam boiler heat
ing by distributed gas.
On the other hand, il he wishes to
boil two quarts of water (about 4
pounds), it would require not less
than S pounds of coal from the begin
ming to the end OF the operation, COST
ing l LIZ cents, while 2 feet of gas,
costing two-tenths OF a cent, would do
the work much quicker and with less
labor expended.
Between these extremes are an min.
ite number of operations, the smaller
ones showing a profit for gas, always.
with decreased labor. This percentage
of profit gradually decreases as larger
quantities of heat are required, till no
economy is shown, and their profit
appearing on the other side till theex-
treme is reached, in continuous oper-,
ations requiring large amonnts Of
heat. /.
Nothing new has been developed In
fuel gas, unless it be negative results
as to the commercial Success Of disrri.l
buting it in towns and cities. Even.
in manufacturing plants it shows hntI

Diplomatic Intercourse Between Italy
And the United States
Closed.
The King Of Italy Not Satisfied With
the New Orleans Inves-
tigatfOn.
American Tourists in Italy Are Uncer-
enormously Seized and Held As
Hostages.

The Baron Fava has presented to
the state department at Washington,
D. G., his recall by the italian govern
ment, and has demanded his pass.
ports.
The department is greatly surpris-
ed, because it was wholly unexpected,
and because the investigation into
the New Orleanes matter is not COM
pleted.
The reason for the recall is: saThe
king OF Italy is dissatisfied with the
progress of adjustment between the
two countries in regard to the New
Orleans massacre" This action can
be construed into no other way than
: an act of open hostility on the part
OF the italian government toward the
United States, with which it has here
tofore been on friendly terms.
AMERICAN CITIZENS SEIZED.
1t is reported that eighteen Ameri-
can citizens have been seized and inn
prisoned in Rome to be held as hos.
tages.
" AMERICANS IMPRISONED,
1t is now reported around the state
department that it was at Florence
that the eighteen Americans were
thrown into prison, instead of at
Rome as at first reported. 1t is also
said that others have suffered the
same fate in Italy, and in all leases the
italian officials refused to give the i'm
prisoned persons any reasons for
their arrest.

A SUICIDE.
Gustave Hopping, an Ex.PolicemaD,
Of st. Paul, Shoots Himself
Through the Head.
Detectives We're Upon His Trail and
Preparing to Settle All an eyed
Crime Upon Him.
He Stands Before the HirrOr and Sends
the Bullet Through His
Temples.

Another human life has been added
to the long list of suicides in st. Paul,
MINI. This time it was an ex.police-
man, strong and healthy and in the
prime OF life. Augustus Hopping, 46
years OF age, has lived for some time
past in O. neat little cottage on Argyle
street, in the Como district. His
family consists OF a wife and an adopt
ed daughter, ~ years OF age. Al
though at times he has had trouble,
1T was not supposed that he was des-
pondent. Recently, however, he be-
came involved in q matter over some
property, which he claimed belonged
to him. 10 test the legality OF his
claim the second party caused a
WARRANT FOR Ills ARREST
to be issued, and shortly after Z
O'Clock on the morning OF the 3lst
ult., a policeman served it on him at
his residence.
Hopping seemed somewhat surprls-
ed, and said that as he was not feel
ing very we'll, he would not come into
the city, but would appear in court
next day. The officer said this was
satisfactory, and left. No sooner had
he gone than Hopping told his wife
that he guessed be would go upstairs
and lay down. He went up and, en-
tering the front room, pulled open the
bureau drawer and taking out a 3S-
caliber Colts revolver, stood before
the mirror and placing the muzzle
AGAINST HIS RIGHT TEMPLE,
pulled the trigger. The bullet crashed
through the skull, coming out OF the
left temple. Death was instantaneous.
When his family reached the room he
lay at full length on the floor dead.
The shot was heard throughout the
neighborhood, and the house was
quickly filled with friends. The police
were at once notified and Officer Cline
was detailed to take charge OF the
body until the arrival OF Coroner
Quinn, who appeared upon the scene
in a short time. After viewing the re-
mains the coroner deemed an inquest
unnecessary, saying it was a clear
case OF suicide and the body WAS turn
over to the undertaken. Hopping was
q member OF the Druids and OF Vor-
waerts Lodge No. 1O7, A. o. U. W.,
and these two societies will take charge
of the funeral.

They do Not Take Kindly to the
 Service-They Want to be Scouts.
 WAsHINGToN, March 12.-The war de- partment has not found the Indians par ticularly anxious to become soldiers. This is true of the Sioux at least, and there is much doubt as to whether it will be found practicable to enlist 2,000 redskins con- templated in the recent order from the de- partment The companies assigned to the infantry regiments will be particularly hard to fill as the Indians all want to ride on horseback. Colonel Schafter of the First infantry, stationed in California, tried while at Pine Ridge with his regi- ment to raise his company but could not | do so, partly because the Siouz did not | want to go so far from home as California. l He has since been authorized to enlist In dians in the state.
 Most of the warriors prefer to serve as | scouts, but they cannot be taken on in that capacity as the present force of Indian
 scouts is to be reduced. The army is at
 present about two thousand short of the
 twenty-five thousand enlisted men allowed
 by law, and all the Indians enlisted will be l included within that limit. Should the
 experiment prove a success congress will
 be asked to allow the Indians to be enlist | ed in excess of the limit.

The Dying Confession of n Murdere
 He Chopped and Salted His Vic

The Dying Confession of n Murderer
 He Chopped and salted His Vic-
 tim.
 TACOMA, Wash, March 12.-A promi- nent physician of this city has just made a horrible and startling revelation in which he alleges that he was called two months ago to the death bed of poor Swede named Lars Pedersen, who told the physi- clan he wished his dying confession writ ten It is as follows:
 Pedersen worked in Armour's packing house in Chicago until 1887, then he went to Sioux City, to Silverhorn's packing house, where he worked until the spring of 1889, where he killed man named Lar son Hanstrul, who worked on the night shift with him cleaning the floors in the killing rooms. He stabbed Harstrul many times, and his blood flowed down the gutter to the fertilizer, mixing witt | the blood of the swine killed that day. Ht | then put him in the chute and ran hiI body in among 10000 carcasses killed l that day.
 Near morning he took the body to thu chopping blocks, cut it in pieces, covered them with salt, and ran them to the freez
 ing rooms among other pieces of pork lief there for months. He then burned tn clothes in the furnace. Pederson lived il
 Sioux City for two months after the mur
 der, and then came here. The physician
 can give no good reason why he did no

GENERAL ONSLAUGHT.
Vessels Fitting For a Raid in the
 Herring Sea Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The settle ment of the Boring sea matter, as fore shadowed in the correspondence between the United States and British govern ments, is not settlement in the opinion of treasury department officials. The fact that the issue of permits to vessels to cruise in the Boring sea is not prohibited during the pendency of the negotiations this summer is pointed at as almost fatal to United States interests in those waters.
 Advices received at the treasury depart ment indicate a more general onslaught on the seal fisheries this spring and summer than ever before. There are now fitting out at Victoria, B. O., forty vessels which will infest the waters about the Seal island. At San Francisco twenty vessels are being made ready for sea, bound for the Island of St. Paul and St.George. In the language of government official, ''when the pend ing controversy as to jurisdiction in the Boring sea is settled there will be nothing to settle.'' That is, all the seals will have been destroyed

ENGLAND,S BLIZZARD.

Severe Cold After It-People FrozeI to Death-Over Seventy People Los Along the Coast-The Loss to SsocE Enormous.
 LONDON, March 12.-Following the bliz
 gard, severe cold set in all over England
 The frost is greatly hindering the clearing
 of the railroad lines blocked by the snow
 drifts during the storm.
 Cornwall continues isolated from the rest of England. Many wrecks are re- ported on that coast, and at Lands End a number of people have been frozen to death.
 A foreign steamship, the name of which IS unknown, was wrecked off Start Point, near Dartmouth, Devonshire, England, during the recent blizzard. All the crew and passengers were drowned.
 The British ship Dryad, Captain Thomas, bound from Shields for Valparaiso, has also been wrecked, off Start Point. Her crew, consisting of twenty-fou men and officers have been drowned. The Dryad was an iron vessel ot 1,035 tons burden. She was built at Liverpool and was owned by J. B. Walmsley of that city.
 Among the schooners lost off Start Point was the Lunesdole. Four of her crew were drowned her captain was saved. The schooner Lizzie Ellen was also lost, and two of her crew were drowned
 1t is already known that at least seventy lives were lost off the coast during the blizzard, and ten men perished from cold and exposure after reaching the shore It is feared that the list of wrecks and of lives lost is not complete, as several vessels are known to be missing.
 Many points inland, where the storm was most severely felt, are still isolated, freight and passenger traffic is entirely re- stored on the branch lines of the railroads The severity of the storm and the difficult ty of restoring the lines of communication may be judged from the fact that an ex- press train that left Plymouth on Monday is still blocked up near the Brent river. The passengers are suffering severely from exposure.
 Gangs of laborers, numbering hundreds have been sent from all directions to clear the railroad lines in Devonshire and Corn wall, where the snow drifts are piled up so heavily that cuttings twelve feet deep have to be made through the snow, which is now frozen into an almost solid mass.
 The loss to stock is enormous, and will entail much suffering among the farmers, who lost much money by the terrible weather experienced at the end of last year.
 The water mains at Plymouth are showed up to such an extent that a force of 200 soldiers from the garrison has been sent to assist the water works employees in clearing them. No water has passed through the mains since Monday last, and a water famine is now added to the other sufferings of the people of Plymouth.
 Snow storms have again set in in the west of England and all roads and railways are again blocked.
