The Coosew Litigation Causes an Ad-
vance in Price.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 25.-Attorney
General Pope and George s. Mower are in
the city to-day. They came down to rep
resent the state in the Coosaw case, which
was to have come up in the United States
court on Monday next. 1t is un nderstood,
however, that the hearing will be postponed
by consent OF the counsel on botE sides The
pending question before Judge Simonton is
to remove the receiver appointed by judge
Aldrich in the state court. As an incident
in the litigation now in progress between
the state and the Coosaw company, it may
be mentioned that the phosphate exchange,
which is in the nature of trust, and which
controls the output of all the land
rock mined around Charleston, issued a
notice to-day announcing an increase in
the price of phosphate rock of 30 cents.
This raise has, OF course, nothing to do with
the river rock. IL will be of interest, how
ever, to farmers, for the reasonssthat the
land rock is used entirely in the manufact-
ure of commercial fertilizers used through
out the United States. The river rock is
used only in Europe. Tho advance in the
price of land rock is said TO be due to the
fact that the demand is greater than the
supply, and IL is estimated by those who
are Interested in It's disposal that an addi-
tionsl advance will be made in few days.

front near the ferry landing, and, in fact, all
along the line Of march were the most
brilliant ever seen in this city. Hundreds of
electric lights had been erected temporarily
at every available portion of the ferry and
on Market street, and in addition TO these
fireworks were displayed continuously
everywhere. Nearly every building on
Market street was decorated with flags and
bunting, and long streamers and banners
were stretched across the street at short in
tervals.
ESCORTED TO THE PAVILION.
The President and party were escorted to
the pavilion by detail of mounted police
and the troops Of the Second brigade, the
latter being in command of Gen. Dickin-
son. There was dense crowd of people on
Market street all the way from the ferry
landing to the pavilion, and the President
was greeted with great cheering as the pro-
cession passed along. The street at many
points was as light as day, and the President
was able to see the enthusiastic crowds who
welcomed him to the city ard who followed
in the rear OF theprocession. The ladies of
the party accompanied the procession as
far as the pavilion and then went to the
Palace hotel The crowd in waiting out
side Of the pavilion was es closely packed as
that along the line of march, aud the en-
thusiastic welcome was renewed as the
President alighted from the carriage to
enter the building.

by military escort, arrived at the Me-
chanics' pavilion at o'clock. The im~
mense building, which holds 10000 people,

Crazed by lnsomnie, a Railroad Sscre-
uary Blows Out His Brains.
NEW ORLEANS. LA, April 25.-Reeves
Lewis, secretary Of the New Orleans rail-
road, and one of the most popular young
men in town, committed suicide yesterday
by blowing out his brains. He sent a letter
to the president of his company Thursday
announcing that he would not go down to
the Office yesterday. and telling HIM what
should be done. His death was instantane-
Gus. Lewis had been in poor health for
some two months, suffering from insomnia.
When an examination was made of
his room the coroner was greatly
surprised to find box containing 1000 in
one corner of it which could not be &C
counted for. The family Of the suicide
could not imagine how he had SO much
money, as he was supposed to be in very
moderate circumstances The money was
discovered last night to belong to the City
railroad. The president of the company
thinks that Lewis took the money while
temporarily insane, as he seems to have
made no effort to misapply it.

New YORK. April 25.-Deputy Coroner
jenkins concluded tho autopsy on the re-
mains of Jack the Ripper's victim this
afternoon. The only development of Inn
portance was the disclosure that the mutila-
tions were made while tho Woman still lived,
aud 1t was apparent that the struggles
of the poor wretch prevented
the butcher from fully completing
what he originally iutended-the
removal Of certain organs, which had been
partically detached and torn, but not re-
moved, as in the case OF the Whit echapel
murders. 1t was not possible, tho coroner
said, to determine whether death resulted
from strangulation or from the wounds
inflicted. Inspector Byrnes tonight made a
statement TO reporter to the effect that
while the police have not yet arrested the
murderer of the woman at tho East River
hotel, they know who he Is and hope to have
him in custody before long.

AMERICANS IN ITALY.

The Legation Declines to Say That
Thoy Are Not in Danger.
ROME, April 25.-There have been an in
creased number of inquiries at the United
States legation as to whether it is safe for
Americans to travel in Italy without fear
of insult or outrage. This feeling of dread
upon the part Of Americans has seriously
affected the sale of tourists tickets for
Italy. One Of the largest tour houses
recently instructed its agents In this
city to ask the United States legation to
give the firm letter which they could use
in their business assuring Americans that
they could travel in Italy in safety. The
United States legation was compelled to re-
fuse this request. as in view Of the continu-

Building on Leaving.
DETROIT, MTcH April 25.-The employees
Of the Michigan car works, to the number
OF about $500, went out on a strike this
afternoon. The trouble was undoubtedly
precipitated by the success attending the
strike OF the street car employee The
strikers demand nine hours work and ten
hours pay. They gave the company no
notice OF their intention. As they passed
out OF the works n volley Of stones was
thrown and nearly every window in the
building was broken.
OTHER WORKS STONED.
The strikers proceeded to the works of the
Detroit Steel and Spring Company aud
called on the men to strike. Before any
thing was accomplished the special police
of the concern drove the strikers out. A
shower of bricks and stones shortly after
crashed through the windows OF the mold
lug department of the works, injuring one
Of the men in charge, and driving the others
away temporarily. Two patrol wagons ar
rived at this juncture, and the strikers dis
persed.
END OF THE STREET CAR WAR.
The City Railway Company had gangs OF
workmen out early this morning restoring
the missing rails aud in other ways getting
the tracks ready for a resumption OF the

NO MORE BONDS WANTED.
The Secretary Discontinues Redemp-
ton Until After Juiy.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary Fos-
ter to-day issued the following circular dis
continuing the redemption OF AZ per cent.
bonds: with view to reserving the res
idue of the A. per cent. loan for adjustment
within the fiscal year which begins July
l next, public notice is hereby
given that redemption of bonds
of that loan will be discontinued for the
present, and the circular of Oct. 9, 1890.
under which such redemptions have been
made, is hereby rescinded. Due public no.
tice will hereafter be given of the action of
the department with respect to the said AZ
per cent. bonds.
OBJECT OF THE DISOONTINUANCE.
The action is believed to be the first Of q
series Of measures intended Co put the
treasury in a coalition TO meet the heavy
obligations which are expected to fall due
before congress reassembles. These AZ
per cent. bonds do not mature
until next September, and there
is really no obligation, expressed,
or implied upon the government to redeem
them before that date. But, in view of the
large accumulation of money in the treas
ury during recent years, the department
sought TO restore some of it to circulation
by offering to purchase such bonds as might
be offered at O fair price in advance of their
deemed, or rather purchased. The amount
redeemed since October last is SIS, ,976, 100.
THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING.
On the first Of the present month SIS, ,S54,-
$50 of this class of bonds were outstanding.
National banks hold over $50, 900, 900 of
them. If an emergency should arise there
is small doubt in the mind of Secretary
Foster that the banks would be entirely
willing to continue their holdings
at lower rate of interest
and they would be prompted to
adopt this course rather than oblige
the treasury to call in the money in the
authorized repositories. By purchasing Az
per cent. bonds under its circular terms the
treasury has saved payment of much in
terest, and it is entirely possible that re-
demption will begin again If the financial
condition should warrant it. The terms of
to-day's circular itself seem to indicate
such a purpose and expectation on the part
of the department, and it may be noticed
that the reason assigned for discontinuance
of the redemption by the circular is with a
view to reserving the residue loan for nd-
justment within the fiscal year ending a
little over two months hence

STRIKE OF THE MINERS
The miners strikes are attaining formida-
BILE proportions around Bochum. Most OF
the pits are closed. The strikers in the
Essen district exceed 1900. The arpi-
trary measures adopted by the employers,
and the absence Of any attempts at concili-
alton, enrage the men, numbers OF whom
are acting independently OF the advice of
the leaders of the movement who are op-
posed to a general strike The socialist organ,
the VOrtUGeTtS, beseeches the men TO pause
1t declares that the moment is not op-
perfume for a wholesale strike and that such
a movement will end in disastrous defeat and
loss Of existing privileges. Despite friendly
exhortations the temper OF the men fore
shadows universal defiance OF the employ
era.
THE MAYDAY CELEBRATIONS
The Mayday celebrations are likely to
result In a fiasco The socialists disagree as
TO the programme The parliamentary
section want TO postpone the demonstration
until May 3. Extremists urge that
n Sunday demonstration would be fu-
tile. There must, according to this
section, be general abstention from work on
May /. The emperor has ordered the sup
preston Of street manifestations. The
troops will be kept In readiness In their bar
racks, though nobody expects that they will
be required.
An imperial decree has been issued for
bidding racing on Sundays, and advising
the local authorities to permit races to be
held only on working days as the best
method OF hindering workingmen from att
tending them.

Hunt, the slayer Of private Miller Wednes-

last night by soldiers from the garrison and
fell in the court house yard riddled with
with sixteen bullets four of which entered
his head. Early in the evening Sheriff Nc
Farland received intelligence that an at
tempt would be made to lynch Hunt, and in
company with Prosecuting Attorney Bland
ford repaired to the garrison and told Col
Compton what they feared, and asked MIN
to assist them. This he promised to do by
having the check rolls called after taps. The
sheriff returned and engaged an extra num-
Der of guards, but all had not arrived
when crowd of probably seventy
soldiers appeared, and demanded that the
officers open the doors Of the jail. When
the demand was refused the soldier began
work on the doors with hammers aud
chisels. Finding this slow work they
threatened to use dynamite.
TIRE DOORS OPENED.
Further resistance then being useless the
doors were opened, and thirty or forty
cooked revolvers were leveled at the heads
of all inside and the keys were demanded.
These were given them and when Hunts
cell was shown they quickly took him out
to the court house yard ard shot him. The
excitement was intense, and a crowd of
1900 people surged about the street in front
of the jail until after midnight. Immedi-
ately after the shooting the soldiers went TO
their quarters, and it will be difficult to
identify those concerned in the
shooting, though many were not masked.
