THE PARTISAN JEHUS.
THEY PERSIST IN THEIR DEMAND
FOR SHORTER HOURS.
Police Protection - The Government
Decides to Intervene in the Matter.

PARIS, Nav 26.-The strike of stage
much excitement. Enormous crowds
of people surround the depots of the
Omnibus company, around which there
is guard of police. The company, as
sisted by the police, attempted to
run several stages The strikers first
stoned them, then made a charge, driv-
ing away the police. The drivers were
dragged from their horses and pounded
vigorously, while the stages were over
turned. The efforts of the police were
useless in the face OF the overwhelming
mob. At one time it was thought
the troops would be called upon, but it
is expected they will not be ordered out
unless the situation becomes very
serious. The police later were reinforced
and made several arrests.
Public sympathy is with the strikers,
who are out for shorter hours and the
reinstatement of some of their COM
panions who were discharged because
they belonged to the union. Many
newspapers of the city have opened sub
scriptions on behalf of the strikers and
their families, in order to enable them
to successfully push their fight.
1t is announced this evening that the
government has decided to intervene IN
the stage drivers strike. 1t is added
that the governments determination to
interfere is solely for the purpose of as
suring conveyance for the public, who
naturally suffer considerably from the
total suspension of stage service.

CHILEAN INSURGENTS
Secretly Aided by the Mexi-
can Government.
The Esmeralda Allowed to Coal
at Acapulco.
War Materials Transferred to tn,
Rebels at Mazatlan.
The Insurgent Flag SAluted by the Mex
lean Authorities-Insurge Claim
ing Everything in Sight.
Associated Press Dispatches.

New York, May 26.-A private letter
received today from the City of Mexico,
written May 10th, by business man
who has ample facilities for getting cor
rec. information, says: "There is much
reason to believe that the Mexican au-
thorities are quietly giving aid to the
Chilean insurgents. The Esmeralda has
been able to get all the coal she wanted,
and private advices from Mazatlan, re-
port that war materials brought from
San Francisco were transferred early
this morning to ship belonging to the
Chilean insurgents
The same letter mentions rumors of a
secret treaty between Mexico and San
Salvador against Guatemala.
CRY OF MEXICO, May 26.-Diaro del
Hogar publishes letter from Acapulco,
which says the Chilean insurgent
steamer Esmeralda, on entering that
port saluted the Mexican flag, and the
Mexican government, in return, saluted
the Esmeralda flag, thus making it an
open question whether this was recog-
milton by Mexico of the Chilean insur-
gents.
The captain of the Esmeralda, in an
interview at Acapulco few days ago,
said it was not his intention to take
coal by force, or he would have done so
before. He also said he was not in a
hurry to leave the port, but was waiting
for further instructions.

Lord Salisbury at Last Heard
From.
Blaine's Suggestion Neither Ac-
cepted Nor Rejected.
His LOrdship Is Afraid of Affronting
Canada.
A Conclusion About the Sealing Season
Likely TO Be Reached without
Salisbury's Assistance.
Associated Press Dispatches.

New YORK, May 26.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Lord Sails
bury has at last broken his long silence
in regard to the Bering sea agreement,
but he has neither accepted nor rejected
Blaine's suggestion that closed season
be agreed upon, conditional that the
North American Fur Sealing company
be allowed seals enough to compensate
them for their expenses at the seal
islands. His communication was de-
livered through Sir Julian Pauncefote,
who said Lord Salisbury is not indiffer-
ent to the Importance of the subject, nor
is he seeking needless delay. He hes
itated because of the strong opposition
which has developed all over British
North America to closed season.
AFRAID TO AFFRoNT CANADA.
Protests are coming not only from
people in British Columbia, but from
those of Canada. Lord Salisbury is
greatly troubled by the feeling in Cana
da. which he does not wish to affront.
He sent Sir Julian to the president to
make his position clear, and to show
that he is not Intentionally delaying ac
tion, but studying the question with
view to its solution. While the presi-
dent and cabinet are willing to accept
the protestations of Lord Salisbury so
far as the circumstances justify them,
they feel that it is getting too late in
the season to falter. The subject will
be taken up and discussed with consid-
cradle warmth at a meeting of the cab
met. If nothing more satisfactory is
received from Lord Salisbury by tomor-
row, conclusion will probably be
reached without his assistance.
THE CABINET CONSIDERS THE QUESTION.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Bering sea
policy formed the topic of long discus
sion this morning by the president, Sec
retary Foster and Secretary Tracy, in
the course of which, Captain Shepard,
chief of the revenue marine division,
and Tingle, chief special agent, were
called upon to supply certain informa-
tion in regard to the seal fisheries. The
question was subsequently considered at
a regular cabinet meeting.

NEW SUITS.
Complaints Filed Yesterday With the
County Clerk.


Among the documents filed with the
county clerk yesterday were the prelim-
mary papers in the following new cases
G. H. Libby sues F. H. Barclay ct al.
to ioreclose mortgage for $4,000. given
to secure a promissory note for that
amount, dated February %, 1888.

dissolve the partnership existing be-
tween them, to have himself appointed
receiver of the copartnership's property,
to restrain the defendant from collecting
any debts due the firm, and for other
relief.
Frederick Linde, the Spring street
manufacturing jeweler, yesterday filed a
petition in insolvency with the county
clerk. His failure, the petition states,
is caused "by dullness in business and
losses of money in speculations. The
unincumbered assets are scheduled at
$26, ,549.50. His holdings include $50, 900
in real estate, mortgaged for $12 900, and
merchandise on hand to the value of
$4,000. The liabilities are placed at
$4427. 33, most of which is due to New
York and San Francisco jewellers for
stock and money borrowed.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-The city COM
missioners met this morning, and ignor-
ing the appointment by Governor Patti
son of a successor to City Treasurer
Bardsley, proceeded to elect Richard G.
Oellers, business manager of the Record,

who has power to fill the Office of city
treasurer has given rise to much con-
troversy, and will undoubtedly be left

dition being too serious to warrant his
removal. He is unable to obtain $780,

Knights OF Labor Make Charges Against
Militia General.

composed of Messrs. Bowen, Wild and
Hamilton, representatives of the dis
trict assembly K. of L., have presented
to the secretary of war charges against
rigadier-General Ordway, commanding

that the general in a lecture to the Off
GERS of the guard used language that
was reasonable and incendiary, and
calculated to create in the minds of
militia officers a sense of their superior
ity to law and bitter hatred and blood
thirsty vindictiveness toward such peo-
pie as they may be called upon to re-
strain IN the interest of peace and good
order. The secretary promised that the
committees charges should have proper
consideration.
