BERLIN, April s.--The German So
cialists are highly indignant over the
fact that their great leader, BebeI, is
living in luxury in this city. 1t is said
that Bebel, not satisfied with house
grandly furnished and select and
abundant larder, has one of the finest
wine cellars in Berlin, and indulges
with his friends in the choicest cham
pagnes, tokay and other beverages,
while he makes business of denounc-
ing the luxury and extravaganza of
capitalists, and holding himself forth as
a model for the masses.

THAT REPUTED MARRIAGE.
Parnell Liable to Prosecution if He
Is O'Shea's Son-in-Law.


LONDON, April s.-The Parnellite
members of parliament continue to
affect ignorance of the subject of Par
nell's alleged marriage to the eldest
daughter of Mrs. O'Shea, while the
friends of Capt. O'Shea declare the
story to be u canarl. The extreme
privacy of the marriage, if it has oc-
Cured, is attributed to the fact that
the young woman, although - years of
age, is ward in chancery and her mar
riage could not be lawfully solennized
without the consent of court. Parncll,
if married, would be open to prosecu-
tion. Several of Parnell's admirers af-
fect to be believed that Parnell was
never improperly intimate with Mrs.
O'Shea, but that he visited the daugh-
ter secretly, with the consent of the
mother, and was married to the daugh-
ter with the mothers consent, but un-
known to the father. However, while
giving this as theory, the Parnellites
deny all knowledge OF the fact.

MINERS ARBITRATE.
Operators and Workers in Session
at Pittsburg.
CONSERVATIVE ACTION EXPECTED.

Miners Demand the Eight Hour
Day and a 10 Per Cent. Increase,
While Operators Demand 10
Per Cent. Reduction-Sevent
Thousand Men Interested.
PIrTsBURG, April 8.-The sixth an
nual conference of Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania coal operators and miners
began yesterday. There are seventy
eight operators present and seventy
three delegates from the mines. Over
$4,000 miners are directly represented,
while the result of the conference will
affect total number of 10000. Alex
ander Dempsey, operator, of Pittsburg,
was unanimously reelected as presi-
dent of the conference. Patrick Nc
Bride, miner; J. Morton Hall, operator,
and T. s. Brooks, operator, were
elected secretaries. The following
scale committee was chosen: Ohio
miners, j. p. Jones and w. H. Craw-
ford; Pennsylvania miners, Abraham
Winders and G. e. Wallis; Ohio opera
tors, II. S. Willard and G. Morris;
Pennsylvania operators, George w.
Schl.ederberg and j. G. Ysard.
The Demands Presented.
The Monongahela miners are not
represented in the convention, as they
have made a successful independent
fight for their wages this year. After
the convention the scale COMMITTEES
met. The miners presented their de-
mand for an increase of 10 per cent.
and the eight hour day. The operators
presented their demand for reduction
of about 10 per cent. These two de-
mands were presented to the conference
today. They were promptly rejected
by the opposing sides, who then began
their consideration for settlement.
Conservatism Prevails.
President Dempster, in his opening
address, said the occasion was the most
critical in the history of the business,
aud the utmost candor and wisdom
would be needful to effect settlement
1t is believed that both sides will act
conservatively. The rules of the last
convention will govern the proceedings.
Delegates outside of Pennsylvania and
Ohio will be given voice, but not
vote. The outside delegates of Illinois,
Indiana, West Virginia and Kansas,
who are attending the convention, will
confer with the operators in their re-
spective states on a scale based ON what
ever agreement may be reached by the
conference. These outside states will
each have their separate scale. They
are competitive districts to Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and the scales will there
fore be modified only by local condi-
tiOus.
