The Great Coke Strike.

PIrTsBURG, May S.-Foreigners are COM
ing into the coke region in bulk. An ODER
ator said to day that he can turn 5000 men
into the region in twenty-four hours, but
cannot shelter them. A popularity about
this wholesale importation is that the strik-
ers are as firm and unbroken as ever. To-
day the labor officials say there will soon
be plentiful supply of money and tents
for the needy, but this they have been
promising for weeks. 1t is particularly
noted that the aid pledged from
the Federation of Labor has
not yet made its appearance.
The strikers are losing ground, though the
region as whole is making a poor show
ing in coke shipments. Outside of several
pacific evictions and one occasion where a
blac6leg was forced to quit work by the
strikers, all was serene to-day. Leaders
and men are preparing for vigorous cam
paign between this and Monday and will
endeavor to talk with every worker, either
by mass meeting or individually, in order to
induce them to stop work. The effect of
this concerted move will be known Mon
day.
In addition to the inconvenience suf-
fered by near town furnaces to the coke
strike, general complaint comes today
from Mahoning and Shenango valley fur
naces that are estimated to produce one
eighth of the pig iron in the country. The
furnaces in these valleys shut dewn last
January for two months, but the coke
strike came upon them just as they ex-
pected to resume, and for five months
many blast furnaces in the valleys has
been dead. Operators would be glad to
resume, but the coke supply Is too weak
to be depended upon. In figuring up
losses no attention has yet been paid
to the railroads that are really the
greatest losers. Lines running through
the coke regions have missed their 5000
cars of coke per week for three months.
while the roads in SheHnago and Hahou-
ing valleys for five months have found a
falling off in shipments of millions of tons
of coal, iron ore and finished articles. All
this loss, exclusive of the wages of the
men on every side, and the profits of the
coke and furnace and mill operators, will
present figures of loss almost beyond
belief.

APugilistic Fake in Ogden.

OGDEN, Utah, May Especial telegram
to The HERALD. The twenty-five round
glove contest which was to have been
fought between Pat McHugh and Charles
Gushing in Union opera house tonight for
800 and % per cent. of the gate receipts,
turned out to be a first class fake. How
ever, McHugh is no doubt a hard knocker.
When the two entered the ring McHugh
gave his opponent blow that knocked
him through the side curtains. He gath
cred himself up and tried his luck again.
In lodging the next blow Gushing was nit

THE HELLO RATES.
Only Two More Years for the Big
Monopoly.
The Fundamental Bell Patents Will Expire in
1893-Canada Furnishes the Cheap
est Service in the World.

An authority on the question says: ''The
oft-repeated assertion that telephone SER
vice cannot be afforded at a lower rate than
that which prevails in most of our large
cities, and the oft-repeated statement on
the part of the American Bell monopolists,
that the larger the business, the larger
the expense'-which is contrary to all
known data of commercial science-haye of
late received most convincing setback.
'As everybody knows, the fundamental
Bell patents have expired in Great Britain.
In 1898 the same patents will expire in the
United States.
by reason OF certain adverse judicial
DECISIONS there exists just across the border
in Canada, state of affairs which is plainly
indicative of what will take place here in
1893. To-day Montreal furnishes the
cheapest telephone service on this CONT
nent. The long established 'Belp COMPANY
demands only S25 year for either resi-
Dental or business houses. The opposition
company, the Federal Telephone company.
which brought rates to their present basis.
charges S35 a year for business houses and
S25 year for residences. Both concerns
are doing a lively business. The local sBell'
company has about 5000 subscribers in the
city, and the opposition company has
about $500 subscribers. Both organi
cations use the same apparatus.
This reduction in telephone rates not only
applies to cities with from 5000 to 1O, 600
| subscribers, but is also taking place in Ber-
lin, which has even a larger number of
subscribers, and also in London, where the
rates have been reduced from Els to Clio
per annum.
what better evidence than these facts
can be adduced to prove that the business
can be done, and is being done to-day, in the
largest cities of the world, when the pat
ents have become invalid through expira
tion of their terms, and that legislatures in
this country will regulate the rates so as to
conform to these, in some just proportion.
after the patent monopoly on the Bell and
Blake apparatus shall have expired.,'

Smoking Regulations in Prussia.

According to the regulations hitherto in
force on the Prussian state railroads, smok-
ing was permitted in the first class passen-
ger compartments, providing the consent
of all the passengers in a particular
compartment could be obtained. and
providing also there were no special
smoking compartments in the train.
An order recently issued by the minister
OF public works, however, STIMULATES that
hereafter where there are two first-class
compartments in train, one of them is to
be reserved for smokers, while in the other
smoking is to be prohibited. Where 8
train has more than two first class com
partments one-third of their number is to
be reserved for smokers; in all the other
irst-class compartments smoking is TO be
prohibited, even though there be no objec-
ton on the part of the ladies and other
non-smoking occupants. When train has
only one first class compartment the old
rule is to remain in force.

Great Floods in the Rio Grande Anticipated

SANTA FE, n. NJ, May S.-"Mountains of
water is the way the court officers who
have just returned from Sierra Amarillas
put it in speaking of what they saw on the
way. They say that half has not been told
of the Hood that must soon sweep down the
Rio Grande. AT Cumbreas Hill, Colorado,
snow stands up beside the Denver and Rio
Grande section feet and thence it extends
for miles, covering the whole range as far
Belted gorge and ranging in depth from 4
TO 25 feet. All the streams are running
bank full. Chama, Rio Brascos, Wolf creek
and tributary rivers are rushing streams.
In places it is said the whole mountain side
is covered with water trickling out from
under the snow banks on top and spreading
over the face of the decline in every direco
ton. Thus far the weather has continued
cool in that region and hence the floods that
have passed do not begin to indicate what
may follow. AT Valverde, above San Mar
cial, much land is under water, and there is
also trouble in La lara bottoms.
