THE SLIGO ELECTION.
Parnell's Strength Gradually Lessen-
ing in Ireland

ParnelPs Strength Gradually Lessen-
ing in Ireland.
LONDON, April 4.-The priests have
Won the day at Sligo. Parnell for the
second time sees his nominee rejected. It
was good constituency for the priests.
So large is the number of voters who
cannot read or write that Mt many polling
booths the supply of forms for ilIiterates
was early exhausted. Almost, if not all,
the illiterate voters, we are told. were
supporters of the ti-Parnellite booths
candidate, and were escorted to the
booths by clergymen of the Roman Cath
olic Church. In this case the illiterate
voters ballot, otherwise secret. becomes
open. 1t is an old trick of the league to
force voters to declare themselves filter
ate In order to see that they vote straight
1t has now been turned against Parnelf,
but the pressure has been so great that il
is question whether the priests have not
overdone it, and whether the election
may not be invalidated. The majority
against Parnell is rather less than was
expected.
1t is said that Mr.. Parnell is in deep de-
Jectlon, not so much on account of Sligo
as because he is convinced Chat the coun-
try is going against him. He means to
tight to the last gasp. He will probably
succeed in retaining, when the general
election occurs, one-fourth, and perhaps
one-third, of his seats. These, added to
the eight or ten out of the whole eighty
six Parnellite constituencies which the
Conservatives expect to gain, will amply
suffice to make any home-rule measure
impossible, as Chamberlin says, for the
next ten years, but such result will
leave Parnell in position of compara-
lively little power. He is likely to be
known not as the uncrowned, but as the
discrowned king. So clear is this that
efforts to patch up the quarrel still con-
tinue, but with no prospect of Immediate
success

THE OLSEN CASE.

Taking of Testimony for the Prosecu-
ton Begun.
MERGED, April 4.-Proceedings in the
Olsen case began at o'clock sharp this
morning All the witnessea, for the
prosecution were called, about forty five
in number, and sworn. J. p. Jones. the
first witness, took the stand. He told the
story of how the Sunday previous to the
murder was spent and how lie discov-
cred the body of Ivett on Monday morn
ing. He also explained his trip to OIL
sens to notify them of the murder. He
ate dinner there and accompanied the
Olsen family back to the scene of the
murder. On croSs-eXamination he eX-
planned the condition of OlSen'S clothes
before and after the murder. The de-
Tense then produced 8 nearly new over
coat and asked him if he could identify
was an older coat" said the witness.
This ended Jones testimony, and being
noon the usual recess was taken.
At the afternoon session Bennett, con-
Wet brought from San Quentin to testify,
was sworn. He said: II went to the
mountains in company with Olsen in
1887, with stock, and staid abour four
months. While there one day we talked
about his sister marrying old Ivett, and
he said: Sister did well. He is old, and
if an heir comes she gets it ALL / said:
How if no heir comes?' We'll, if he
don't die soon enough, we can get away
with him.
''The next talk we had he wanted me
to help do the old man up, and said there
was lots to back us. We can prove an
alibi. But he did not put up, so the job
didn't go. About two years ago he of
fered me $1,000 to kill Ivett. told him
no, and if Ivett was killed would tell.
Olsen then tried to turn it into Joke"
For Olsen the defense tried hard to
break the testimony, but failed, the wit
ness record being the only drawback to
the testimony.
The case is creating great excitement,
but the attorneys state that the most ex-
citing part is yet to come.

| Causes Which Led to the Shoemakers'
Strike at buckingham 81 Hecht's.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-The trouble
which Contaminated in $50 shoemakers
! leaving the works of Buckingham &
Hecht has been brewing for a long time
past. 1t is pretty generally understood
that the shoe manufacturers have an
| ticipated some such action for long
time, and in consequence have made pro-
vision for meeting the issue.
Although, as stated, there has been
dissatisfaction for some time past, the
two direct causes of the present lockout
seem to center on two grievances. The
first grievance was that Buckingham &
Hecht refused to discharge man named
Spotford, who is accused of having vio-
lated some union obligation, before the
| case had been submitted to them in
writing, which was refused; the second,
that Secretary Sullivan of the Shoemak-
ers' White Labor League was refused
permission to go through the factory for
the purpose OF collecting dues owed to
the union. The seriousness of the move
nlent may be understood when it is
known that there are over 600 people en-
ployed by the firms composing the Shoe
Manufacturers Association, who NAV be
thrown out of employment at any time
that the manufacturers may think such
terests in the fight.
The girls at Buckingham & Hecht's are
still at work, but as they depend to
large extent upon the strikers for the
material TO carry on their work, they must
of necessity be idle within q few DAYS,
unless non-unlonists are put in the place
of the strikers. In case this action should
be taken 1t is Just possible that they may
refuse to work on material handled by
non-union men.
