WHO GAVE 1T AWAY
The Fund Being Raised for the Daugh-
ters OF General Sherman.

New YORK. April 2i.-The gentle.
men OF the Union League, who have
quietly been raising purse OF 500, ,00C
to be given to the two daughters OF the
late General Sherman, as token OF the
respect in which their father was held,
were annoyed by the publication OF
their plan. They are afraid that the
Shermans will now refuse to receive
this fund just as they refused TO receive
the other one.
1--WE went quietly about this thing,
said one subscriber yesterday, mot be-
cause we were ashamed OF what we were
doing, but because we believed that II
we chose to make some real expression
of regard for our dead friend by putting
his girls above all reach OF want, was
nobody's business but our own. High
spirited women would naturally dislike
publicity, and, indeed, we were not even
sure that after we had prepared this
fund we could prevail upon the Misses
Sherman to accept IT,"
1--WE did not 60 into this thing for no.
toriety, nor for the pleasure of seeing
our names emblazoned as charitable cit
liens. We were giving solely for the
love we bore our old friend, and | do not
like to state my opinion OF the man who
gave the story to the public.
Nearly SIS, 900 of the required $780,
600 has been secured, and 1t is proba-
BILE the full amount will be reached this
week. The money will be given TO Miss
Rachel and Miss Elizabeth only. Father
Sherman will publish a biography Of
his father, which will give him all he
needs, and Tecumseh Sherman and the
two married daughters are in good cir

INSPECTOR BYRNES,
AND HIS REFUSAL TO ACCEPT THB ITALIAN
DECORATION.
The Chamber Of Deputies Discusses the Matter
Minister Rudini Considers II Trivial Incident
and Not Worthy Of Official Rscogniton-Nsw
Orleans Grand Jury Still Investigating.

ROME, April 2l.-Replying TO Signor
Imbriani's Interpolation in the Cham
Der OF Deputies to-day, in regard to the
decoration recently conferred by the
King Of Italy upon Chief Inspector
Byrnes, OF New York, and which was
declined by the latter, the Marquis di
Rudini, the Prime Minister, said that
the decorations referred to had been
conferred with the usual forms, adding
that 1t was trivial incident, which did
not merit being discussed in Parlia-
ment.
Signor Imbriani, after the Marquis di
Rudini had read the above statement,
said in reply, that he interpeIIated the
government upon the subject at the re-
quest OF the Italian citizens Of New
York city, who were desirous that a
decoration should not be offered to a
person who was prevented by the laws
OF his country from accepting such an
honor.
The Marquis di Rudini said that the
Italian government had assured itself
beforehand that the decoration OF ln-
spector Byrnes would be permitted by
the police authorities, and consequent
ly the refusal of the Inspector to accept
il was not worthy of attention.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
IMPORTED LABOR AND PINkERrON DETBO-
TIVES LIKELY TO CAUSE TROUBLE
In The Coke RsgiOn-Ths Men are Bitter against
the PnksrtOus, and Express Desire to Wipe
Them From the Face Of the Earth
Tickllsh Situation of Affairs

SCOrrpALE, PA, April 2l.-To-night
the strikers are gathering their forces
TO overcome the last and most powerful
forces brought TO bear by the operators;
they are face to face with two hated
and feared institutions, the Pinkerton
detective forces and an invasion of i'm
ported labor About 500 Pinker-
ton detectives will be brought
intol the region tonight and
distributed around the different
works, where the most strenuous efforts
are being made to resume. The men
have bitter dislike for the Pinkertons,
and have often expressed the desire
that they could wipe them off the face
OF the earth A batch of $50 Pinker-
tons arrived here to-day, and all were
placed on duty at LeiSenring No. >,
where extraordinary efforts will be
made TO start in the morning against
the protests OF the strikers. There
were no evictionS in this section to-day.
the deputies preferring to wait until
their safety is assured.
A meeting of the Executive Board of
the Mine Workers was held here this
evening and preparations in financial
and other ways made to prolong the
fight.
James Mcbride, OF the Miners Board,
says there is no doubt they can stand
fight of several months yet, and that
their finances are all right and that
more money is coming in.
There are 500 or 600 Italians on their
way here, and they will be stationed at
both the Frick and Mcclure works in
the morning. 1t is said they have been
gathered up throughout the PuEXSu-
tawney coal region.
The labor leaders are combining their
forces of speakers. and will make every
effort 10 persuade the foreigners to
leave. Interpreters have been gathered
together. and will hold meetings at
every point where the men are to work
in the morning.
This importation OF Italians simply
means the beginning of the wholesale
importation Of foreign labor that has
been threatened for long time by the
operators. This. In connection with
the Pinkerton men, will make the situ-
alton here at once more interesting and
dangerous.
A special from Uuiontown says:
Company C. is held under strict or
ders at the armory The arrival of the
PinkertOn men in the region this after
noon is causing considerable ugly COM
meut. The soldiers they respect and
the Pinkerton men they despiSe, and
when Sheriff Mccormick attempts to
evict there will undoubtedly be trouble.
The Sheriff is sore over the withdrawal
OF the troops but does not feel compli-
mented that PinkertOnS have come in
their stead "

THE JUMP IN WHEAT.
It Is predicted that the Price Will soon
Reach So.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2l.-The price
of wheat still continues to advance In
the local speculative circles, and the
sales to-day est -1lished an advance OF
l3 l-5c in quotations for the year OPP
tion. On Saturday a transaction was
recorded in the call board on buyer
1891 option at 81 -. To-day it opened
at 81 Os and advanced to 81 So. and
thence to 81 ssh. Buyers seasons fluctu-
ated in the eighties during the forenoon,
then jumped to 81 IS and closed
this afternoon at 81 Sc. There
was considerable trading in
other options. The advances this morn
ing was largely due to the receipt OF
news from English markets to the ef-
feet that the continental demand was
active and that cargoes had gone up sd
per quarter. Some of the brokers pro-
fessed to believe that foreign specua-
tors were manipulating the market,
while others found in the failure OF the
wheat crop OF France and the condition
of European politics reason for a legiti-
mate demand and consequent advance.
The opinion was expressed that wheat
would reach 81 90 or 81 by the end OF
the month. Stocks in the State are
running light and there is little pros
pcct OF surplus. Prospects for grow
ing crops are bright and IL the present
conditions continue good prices are as
snred to the farmers. Barley is also
rising in price, but not so rapidly.

O,MALLEY's DEFIANT TALK.
He Says the Italians Did Not Kill Chief
Hennessy.

NEW ORLEANS, April 2l.-Detective
O'Malley talks very deiantly, and says
the people who called so loudly for his
apprehension are now sorry they have
got him.
lie says they would be glad to get rid
OF him, but they can't, and he will yet
have them pillOried as murderers OF in
nocent and helpless men. The Italians
did not kill Hennessy, he adds. Hen
nessy's last words were: Never mind
me, catch Devereaux," not Catch the
Dagos," as has been reported. This
fact, O O'Malley says, is being concealed
for purpose.
The grand jury had finished its labors
when the United States District Attor-
ney asked for certain lines OF evidence.
1t was then decided out OF courtesy to
reopen the hearing, and 200 subppnas
were issued. This will delay the report
for some time.
Three OF the $50 SicilianS who ar
rived Yesterday were arrastah hefnre
midnight for carrying murderous KNIVES
The newcomers are vile-looking set.
The Italian Consul says he has proof
that all but two OF the men lynched
we're Italian subjects. Some had regis
tered and voted, but this was due to ig-
norance of the law on their part and to
sharp practices on the part of polite
ians. This could not alter their status
as Italian citizens.

4 FAKE INTERVIEW
With Ex-President Cleveland on the Free
Coinage Question.

New YORK, April 2l.-State Treas
urer Stephens, Of Missouri, called on
President Cleveland to-day, says the
Telegrdm, and explained to him that the
Missouri Democrats were now opposed
to his nomination on account OF his
silver letter, and asked him why he
wrote the letter. Mr.. Cleveland said
that he was well aware that the Repub-
leans desired to make the silver ques-
tion one of the leading issues OF the
campaign, and it was his desire to have
the question thoroughly discussed by
the people and settled before that date,
so that the Democrats might not be
confronted by a divided party.
Mr.. Stephens then asked Mr.Cleveland,
If. in case he was elected President in
1892, he would veto free coinage bill.
Mr.. Cleveland replied that it was better
not to cross bridge until we come TO
it, but he was unable to see how free
coinage could fail to be an injury to all
sections OF the country. He intimated
that he would favor an international
conference on the silver question, and
expressed delight that the matter was
receiving the thoughtful consideration
of the people, with prospect that they
will have decided by 1892 whether or
not we are ready TO handle all the silver
Of the world.
A representative of the Associated
Press, called at Mr.. Cleveland's office
this afternoon to ascertain whether the
Interview as given above was accurate.
Mr.. Cleveland said he had not talked

Vi, Men Terribly Burned.

BRADpock, PA, April 21.-Tne first
days run at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works was marked by frightful gas
explosion that occurred at 1880 this
afternoon. Six men were terribly
burned. Their names are John Soles,
Thomas Rautrauft, David HOon. Otto
Onedrake, William FarnSworth and
August Anderson. The accident oc-
Cured at the bottom house, in the rear
Of the converting department. One OF
the men raised an oven door, when the
gas ignited and poured forth perfect
mass of flame. 1t is thought the draft
was imperfect. The first four men
named are terribly burned about the
face and body, though their injuries are
not considered fatal. They were at
tended by DR.. Stewart, who dressed
their wounds on the spot and then or
dered them sent home.

port will not be made far some days.
Many of these witnesses are prominent

ture, but the general impression is that

night on warrant sworn out by John
+. Schmitt, of Homestead, Pa, a suburb
of Pittsburg, charging him with com
plicity in the burglary Of Schmitt's

burglary is now famous one, it having
led up to the killing OF Detective Gill

OF Detective Murphy by Bob Fitzsim-

the principal in the burglary. Dever

cheers for Harrison.
The speaker then said If Harrison
should happen 20 be absent, let him ask
the Secretary OF state. Here the cheer
ing broke out wildly again, continued
for some time. and wound up in three
cheers for Blaine.
Gen. ThurstOn said Il have the

Presidents OF the United States, Hon.
VIM. Mckinley, Jr This was cheered
loud and long and was followed by
three cheers for Mckinley in each OF
the prospective characters in which he
was introduced.
Major Mckinley set out with prelimi
naries OF the necessity OF TWO political
parties in Republican form OF govern
mcut. One great glory Of the Republi-
can party was that IL could look into the
past without bluShiug. and II could
look into the future without fear. The
speaker then sketched the history OF
the Democratic party in Kansas and
Nebraska legislation. lt opposed the
emancipation proclamation. IL has
been the party Of opposition. 1t has
opposed every measure OF advancement

Immense cheering. They denounced
the tariff, and they did not know what
the tariff was. The Fifty-iirSt Congress
kept an its pledges save Ouc-the eleC-

Congress that it did not pass that bill.
The speaker here made comparison

FAyA'S FAULT.
He Made "a Mistake in Translating Italy's
| Ifliimatnm.

PARIS, April 9l.-Baron Fava will 90
to Rome tomorrow. He conveys the
official correspondence with the United
States Government in chest,
which a military guard has
watched since Baron Fava landed
at Havre. The Baron maintains
reticence, but it is asserted that he dill
fers much with his government regard
ing the manner in which Italy should
treat the UAiteG States. The Baron is
accused OF hpslGS cdiimi in translat-
ing the first Italian note communicated
to Mr.. Blaine. Italy demanded the
giudiero of the lyncherS. which Baron
Fava wrongly translated punishment.
Is is further considered that Baron
Fava exaggerated the tone OF the
Marquis di Rudini's protest, or that
he did not comprehend its meaning.
Italy, it is maintained, was compelled
to assume an air of decision in order
not to break too suddenly the Crispi
traditions in the Italian foreign policy.
