The Tribune gives an interview had
with Mr.. Gould in Denver, MIR. Gould
says: ri wish to emphatically deny
that ami seeking to disrupt the West
ern Traffic association. While don't
deny that such thing has entered my
mind more than once, still it would not
be policy for me to do SO. Don't think
for moment that l am afraid to at
tempt such thing. / dare anything.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island are often
in print as very great rivals. 1t is bosh.
Neither one of those two roads dare
make q move without consulting me.
There will be no change in the present
traffic arrangement with the Chicago
and Northwestern, because it would not
be policy. am amused at reports in
which nay present trip is connected with
that of the Vanderbilt party. They can
never get control of the Chicago and
Northwestern. Mark that. 1t would
not surprise me to have them build
branches from the Canadian Pacific
down this way some day. Mr. Gould

Cheyenne from where they proceed to
the Pacific.

Preparations Complete to Make Them
the Most Colossal in the Worlds
History.
Iowa Miners, Ten Thousand Strong,
viii Probably Join in the
EigLt.Honr Movement.
Worlds Fair Laborers Quit Work.
An Increase Of Wages De-
manded.

CHICAGO, April 21.-The threatened
strike of the miners, May 1, if it takes
place, will be one of the most colossal
in history and marked by many features
which will make it interesting. The
strike will be for an eight-hour working
day. Two hundred thousand coal min
ers and laborers employed about mines
will stop work. The strike will be
backed by the American Federation of
Labor, the most powerful body of or
ganized labor in the world, which now
numbers 600, 900 members. All these
members have been assessed monthly
since Jan. j for the strike fund which
will be used to aid the miners in their
struggle will be SO extensive as to prac-
tically cover the coal fields of the
country, and shortage, high prices,
Famine in Coal
may be among the early results. Rail-
roads and the great manufacturing es-
tablishments are already buying coal in
enormous quantities and having it de-
livered to them at once in view of the
threatened strike. The date for this
strike was set over year ago at the
Boston convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. In 1885 this body,
meeting at Cleveland, decided to force
the concession of an eight-hour working
day, and fixed ON May /, 1886, as the
date for general strike in all trades
where the demand was refused. The
brunt of the battle fell on Chicago, and
the climax was reached in the Hay
market tragedy, the result of anarchis-
tic interference with trades unions.
Some trades secured eight hours on that
memorable day, but the general result
showed the plan to be impracticable.

european war Question.

LONDON, April 2f.--Berlin advices
state that the position of England IN the
event of war is eagerly discussed. The
opinion is freely expressed in we'll
informed circles that England would
probably not interfere unless Egypt or
some British possession would be threat
ened by the Franco Russian alliance 1t
is also stated that Russia's finances are
in good condition, and better than at
any time within ten years. The oppo-
nents of war and of Austrian alliance
are anxious to see Bismarck in the
reichstag, as they believe that his infu-
ence might prevent Germany from TAX
ing any part in the struggle when il
comes. The war question seems to be
mixed up with the Austro- German COM
mercial treaty question, and Bismarck
is understood to be opposed to both.

Bad Treatment for the Grip.

NORTH YAKIMA, WASH, April 21.--A
report is brought in from the Indian en-
campments hereabouts that the aborigi-
mes are being rapidly decimated by the
grip. At White Bluff, where there is a
small Indian settlement, nine, died in
one day and from the Moses and Yakima
reservations the death rate is appalling.
1t is not the disease so much as the
treatment that causes the great mortal
ity. The Indians affected get into a
sweat box and from there jump into a
cold stream of water, the result of which

Not Very Strong Inducements.

LONDON, April 21.-The Italian gov
ernment has sent several officials to
Sardinia to prepare the way for Italian
families of emigrants. 1t is proposed
to allot each emigrant family share of
land equivalent to about five acres, the
land to be paid for ON easy terms. The
Italian government is too poor to give
the emigrants financial assistance in
making start, and there is very little
money in Sardinia. So far, not even
one family has expressed desire to go
to Sardinia. The offices for booking for
the United States are besieged by clam
erous crowds.

HoBoKEN, April 20.--Angelo Gaboth,
aged 35, of Stone street, New York,
murdered his mother-in-law and was

a son of the murdered woman. Agen-
eral melee followed in which Gaboth's
wife and her brother received stab
wounds. The row occurred at 1876
Grand street. The house is tenement.
Gaboth and his wife, who is the daugh-
ter of Chinchella, were visiting the
Chinchellas. Gaboth is worthless
fellow. 1t is believed he visited Chin
chella's for the purpose of robbing his
father-in-law and obtaining a certain
sum of money which he knew him to
possess. Mrs. Gaboth slept with her
mother. Gaboth himself slept in the
same bed with his father-in-law. At
midnight Gaboth entered the apartment
of his mother-in-law and plunged still
leto into her abdomen almost disem-
boweling her.
She Died Instantly.
Gaboths wife, who was sleeping with
her mother, made no sound, but re-
manned quiet. The blood from her
mothers horrible wound literally COW
cred her, but still she did not stir. There
is no doubt but that she was well aware
of what her husband was doing, and it
looks as though she was party to the
plot to murder her relatives. Gaboth
then returned and stabbed Chinchella in
the neck. The latter's cries aroused his
sons, who rushed in&nd fierce fight
began between the elder and the mur-
derer. The wife attempted 10 shield her
husband and was seriously stabbed
twice. Young Chincheila proved the
stronger and more active of the two. He
made feint at his antagonist and mo-
ment later drove the stilletto into his
left eye and into the brain. As Gaboth
was falling young Chinchella drew out
the weapon and quickly plunged it into
Gaboth's left nde, piercing the heart.

his. On the bed lay old Chinchella with
blood pouring from the ragged wound
in his throat. He was unable to speak
In the next room lay the dead and hor-
ribly mutilated body of old Mrs. Chin
chella. The bed was soaked with her
blood. The ChincheHa boys then told
the story of Gaboth's crime, and of the
staying of Gaboth by one of them.
Conoguito said: "I killed this man,
pointing to the body Of Gaboth. He
then put on has hat and proceeded to the
police station, where he gave himself
up. At the police station young Chin
chella said: "H it is murder then did
murder Gaboth. He killed my mother
and tried to kill my father He would
have killed MS all if / had not killed him.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Some Proposed Changes in the Pres
ent Laws-The County Superin-
tendentS in Session.

The annual session of the State
Association of County Superinten
dents of Public Instruction met in Raj
eigh on December 20, 1890. The fol-
lowing is a summary of the work done:
The convention adopted resolution
asking the Legislature to amend the
laws so as to have one school COM
mitteeman instead of three in each
school district in which there is only
one school. The Legislature was also
asked to double the present tax levy
for the support of public schools so as
to make it IS cents on each SIoo val
uation OF real and personal property.
Another resolution adopted called on
the Legislature to establish training
school for the white teachers of the
State. The County Board Of Educa-
ton are to be authorized if the Legis-
lature will so amend the law, to set
apart such portion of the school fund
of their respective counties as they shall
deem necessary (before making any
distribution of the school funds to the
distric) to aid weak districts in build
ing school houses, said funds to be ap-
propriated to such districts as the
Board of Education shall determine
are entitled to it. The Legislature
was also asked to enact such legisla-
ton as to require examination ques-
tions for teachers, to be distributed by
the State Superintendent of public In
struction.
The most important resolution, and
one which marks new departure in
North Carolina, was the following:
WHEREAS, The State of North Caro-
| lima in her Constitution, has recognised
her oblia aations to educate all her sons
and daughters to the point of intelligent
citizenship and by statutory laws has
provided for the establishment of free
schools in which to discharge that obi
cation and
WHEREAS, 1t appears from the re-
ports of these schools that very large
proportion of the children wholly fail
to attend them and thus defeat in a
large measure the efforts Of the State
educate, therefore the association of
comfy superiutendents most earnestly
recommends to the Legislature the
passage of such laws as its wisdom
may deem effectual to secure the atten
dance of all the children from 10 TO
IS years of age in the State at its free
schools or other schools for period Of
at least four months in each year.
