They Denounce the Conviction of Leader
 Barondess as Unjust.
 NEW YORK, May Fully 5000 work ingmen crowded Cooper Union Hall last night and as many more could not find room and organized an overflow meeting, to protest against what they regarded as the unjust conviction of Joseph Baron dess, the leader of the stalking cloak makers. Samuel Gompers presided.
 In his opening speech MT. Gompers said there was a feeling in New York that a great injustice had been done. The strike at Barondess was a strike at organization.

As Rpplic- able to the present case, the latter re- referred in his remarks to the recent finding of the New Orleans grand jury as follows: "When justice is miscarried by the courts, the powerfully rests with the peoplen

 MADRID, May 7.-The drait of the treaty ot commerce between Spain and the United States was sent to the Spanish Minister at Washington with instructions to sign it immediately. It is expected the necessary signatures will be appended by the end of the week.
 Although the Spanish government maintains the utmost reserve in regard to the treaty, even refusing to communi- cate it to the Cuban Deputies, informa- tion from reliable source confirms the report that coal, petroleum, machinery and fats will be admitted free into Cuba and Porto Rico, and the present duty on flour will be reduced one-half in exchange for the free admission into the United States of sugar, coffee and cocoa,
 The Deputies from Castillo continue to oppose the treaty on the ground that it will render it impossible for Spanish flour to compete with American flour in the Spanish Antilles, but they cannot de- mand voto on the treaty, as the gov. ernment has power to sign 1t without ob- taining special authority from the Cham berS

MILK AND BUTTER.
When They Are Sources of Great Danger
 to Human Health.

When They Are Sources of Great Danger
 to Human Health.
 As usnally taken, milk and butter are the most filthy articles of food used by human beings. Milk is obtained under conditions almost sure to expose it to contamination. Anyone who has had experience in straining milk knows of the black sediment, and sometimes quite a quantity of it, to be found in the bottom of milk pails and milk pans. This sediment is mostly made up of the excreta of the animal, and con- tains some millions of microbes ready Co multiply with great rapidity. Cows are not curried and washed as they should be, and the millsmen are not cleanly as they should be. The cream rises to the top full of germs which have been taken in with the milk, and butter is the quintessence of all the germs in the milk. You all know how short time it takes for butter to become rancid when exposed to the air of a room that is at all warm. Butter to be sweet and nice should be made from milk not more than twelve hours old. Twice a day is none too often for dairy churning. The French dairy woman boils her milk as soon as it comes from the COW, and in this way gets rid of the multiplication of germs by killing off the Adams and the Eyes. She does not salt butter made from cream of milk which has been boiled, and it will keep several days.-From a Lecture by Dr. J. II. Kellogg.

ASK PARDON FOR DUNLAP.

 Bank Robbers Release.

Influence Brought to Bear to Secure the
 Bank Robbers Release.
 BOSTON, May 7.-The case of James Dunlap, the Northampton bank robber, came up again before the Committee on Pardons of the Executive Council. The petition for his pardon first came up be- fore the Executive Council of 1888, and it was then referred to the council of 1890, with favorable action recommended. But the council of last year refused to grant the pardon and took the method of referring it to this years body. It will be remembered that Dunlap was sen- fenced in 1877 for a term of 20 years, and his commuted term because of his good behavior will expire Dec. go, 1893.
 The petition for his pardon is signed by the officers and depositors of the bank that was robbed and the surviv- ing members of the jury which sentenced him. Oscar Edwards, of Northampton, the president of the robbed bank, was the first to plead in Dunlap's favor. He stated that the money would not have been recovered had it not been for the in- formation given by Dunlap. He said that the sentiment of the Northampton people who lost property was in favor of the pardon, as was that of the other in- habitants of the city.
 Ex-Warden Russell of the State prison testified to Dunlap's good conduct while in prison

 "Well, in respect to your neighbors. At one time last year had no less than eight different families using my phone to do all their business. They'd come in night or day, use it as long as they wanted to and for every purpose, and not one ever laid down the fee charged at station, although they knew I had to pay fifty dollars per year."

JAY GOULD HIS MARK
Charles. Dixon Goes to New

ONE OF "cHRIsT's FOLLOWERS. {"
When Arrested by Inspector Byrnes the
 Prisoner Tells His Scheme.

He Was Selected by His Society to Assas-
 slnate the Money King-Says, He Kldled
 Four AIen-Now Ready to Proceed to
 Hartford to Take His own Life-A Dam
 gerous Crank.
 NEW YORK, May "A dangerous crank, who gives his name asCharles J. Dickson, has been arrested at the request of Jay Gould. Dickson went to the house of Dr. Mum. Mir. Gould's physician, and an- nounced that he was vice-president of an order called the "Christ Followers" and that he has a mission to kill Jay Gould. If, however, the millionaire would give him S60, 900, and make certain arrange ments for the distribution of his prop erty to charity, he would refrain from as- sassination. He will be examined as to his sanity.
 He Will Take His Own Life.
 When taken to police headquarters Dixon told Inspector Byrnes that he had decided to spare the life of Mir. Gould and take his own. The society, he knew, would kill him for failing to do his duty, and he meant to forestall it. He was go- ing to go to Hartford, Conn.,, and in an out-of-the-way place put bullet through his heart. He would make it appear that ne had died in an attempt to defend him. self from robbers. He meant to have his coat badly torn, his watch and chain torn from his vest pocket, and his other pock- cts rified. He would have two pistols be- side his dead body, with empty chambers in each.
 He further told the inspector that he was initiated into the order of "Christ's Foi,';>wers'' at Owls Head, just over the Canadian border, in 1888. He was trick ed into going there and was terrorized by i5 masked men, with pistols in their hands, into taking S.1e oath of allegiance to the organization.
 On the 18th of April last he received notice from the Arch Council to go ahead and perform his mission in New York translating Jay Gould to happier land.
 He then incoherently told of Q plot which had been sprung in Pueblo to kill him by masked men two years ago, and how he had foiled the plot by killing four of them.

 LONDON, May 7.-An increase in the Bank of England rate is probable because of the withdrawal of gold. Russia is angered by the action of the Rothschilds, and is calling in her balances now on deposit in European capitals
 The various European exchanges are greatly disturbed in consequence of Rus sia's action, remembering the result of such recalls in the cases of the Comptoir d'Escompies and Earrings crisis.
 Leading bankers are less apprehensive, knowing that such vindictive action will endanger any future Russian loan, whilst Russia knows that stocks are already too heavily held in Europe, and also that the Rothschilds' course will cause a per manent depreciation.

 DENVER, Col, May 7.-Mystery still shrouds the Barnaby murder. The shadow of suspicion which has rested until now on Dr. Graves of Providence, has come at last to rest upon Mrs. Worrell of Chester, Pa, and her son E. s. Worrell of Denver.
 Attention was at first directed towards the conduct of the Worrells through the strange utterances of District Attorney Stevens, in regard to the case and after it became known that Mrs. Worrell was beneficiary in the will of Mrs. Barnaby MT. Stevens says the manner in which the case was conducted by the Worrells is very strange. He has sent East to have MT. Worrell and his mother return to attend the Grand Jury investigation.
 T do not mean to make any charges against anyone" he said, "but when the Worrells return we shall see what they say."
