THE BIG STRIKE OFF
The Order Sent Out to the
United Mine Workers.
NOT READY FOR EIGHT HOURS
Respect for the Operators Who Werf
Friendly to the Miners.

Attention Will Now be Directed to the
Great Coke Strike-Two Thousand Men
Parade at ScottdaIe and Listen to So
ciaIistic Speeches PinkertOn Guards
Fire at Labor Leaders.
COLUMBUS, O., April 2S.-There will be
no strike of the coal miners on May 1 to
enforce the demand for the eight-hour
day. That decision was made by the Ma
tional Executive Board of the United
Mine Workers here, and the order to that
effect is being sent to the local assem-
blies. Tonight the official announcement
will be made.
Secretary Mcbride said to-day in exs
PLANTATION of the matter that it was not
done because it was found that the
miners did not want it done, as the con-
trary was found to be the fact. But it
was done because it was found that the
operators who would be most easily, and
quickly forced to comply with the de-
mand were those who had always been
most considerate and friendly towards
the miners. They were 10th to do this.
''You may say" said he, "that the
eight-hour-day strike has been postponed
pending the great coke strike in Pennsyl.
vania,"

DID SHE BUY ARSENIc3
Suspicious Facts in Regard to Theodore
Hunters Death.

Hunters DEATH
BROWN POINT, N. Y, April 2S.-The
body of Theodore Hunter, ex-supervisor Of
this town and one of its oldest and best
known residents, who died after mid
night on the morning of Wednesday,
March 10, after a sudden illness of only
10 hours, was disinterred Saturday, and
after an autopsy had been performed an
inquest was begun.
The disinterment, autopsy and inquest
were in response to a public sentiment
awakened by the peculiar circumstances
of the death and the facts afterward
learned in regard to an alleged will I'M
der which, after both requests Of $1,000
each to distant relatives, all the real and
personal estate, $50, 900, was left to Anna
Murray, the testator's housekeeper.
Among the facts that seemed to make
an inquest necessary was the statement
of a druggist at Crown Point that just be-
fore Hunters death Miss Murray had pur-
chased arsenic at his store, as she said to
kill rats, and repeated statements of the
doctors that the symptoms of he illness
mere those of arsenical poisoning.
After the autopsy the doctors sealed up
the stomach and sent it to Professor Per
kins, of Union College, Schenectady, for
analysis. Pending the result the inquest
was adjourned.

SAYS SHE WAS MURDERED.
No Expense VIII be Spared to Discover
Who Poisoned Mrs. RarnabY.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 2S.-The poison
ing of Mrs. Barnaby is the reigning sensa-
ton here. Henry B. Winship, the head of
the j. B. Barnaby Company,is positive that
Mrs. Barnaby was murdered, and that the
crime was inspired by the motive of gain.
Mr.. Winship said he had theory, but
refused to make it's nature known.
All that money can do to discover and
punish the perpetrator, Mr.. Winship
says, will be done. The best detective
talent of this city, New York and Denver
will be invoked to discover the murderer
He says: 81 am trustee for the Barnaby
estate, and have got little money of my
own to punish the dastardly perpetrator
of that crime. We will spend every dol
lar in our hands,"
DENVER, Col, April 2S.-Professor
Sewall made an analysis of the liquor in
the bottle from which Mrs. Jerothmel B.
Barnaby drank what she thought was
whiskey and was poisoned last week.
The professor says that the liquor does
not contain a particle of alcohol, and is
probably nothing more than Fowler's
solution of arsenic.

Brilliant Reception at the Palace Hotel.
His Sister Out of Danger.
SAN Francisco, April 2S.-The Morn
ing opened bright and warm, and at 9
o'clock the Presidential party drove from
the Palace Hotel to Vanness avenue,
where the public school children were
assembled.
The children were drawn up in line,
and the inspection was confined to a
drive up one side and down the other.
When Golden Gate avenue was reached,
after both lines had been inspected, the
party was driven direct to Golden Gate
Park. A stop was made at the Conserva-
tory, which was closed to all but the
Presidential party.
From the park the drive was to the
Cliff House, where Adolph Sutro took
charge of the party and escorted them to
the Heights, where luncheon was served.
Thence the party proceeded to Preside,
and reviewed the troops stationed there.

ace Hotel to the foreign consuls, army,
navy and national guard officers, Federal,
State and city officials, Senators and Con-
gressmen and invited citizens.

Official Details About the New
Orleans Massacre.
1TA1Y's BLUsTER IS FARCIcAL
All the Murdered Italians Registered at
the Last Election.

The Italian Consul Claims that the Lynch
Their Allegiance to the KinG-The At
torney-General Will Decide that Cues
tion-Rudfni's Answer to Blaine.
WASHINGTON, April 2S--Report has it
that Secretary Blaine and Attorney-Gen-
eral Miller within the past "a hours have
received from the United States District
Attorney at New Orleans the official de-
tails of the Malta massacre.
1t is understood that the District-At-
torney finds that all the murdered Ital-
ians registered and voted at the last cleo
ton in the Crescent City. This is urged
against the claim that the victims of the
tragedy were subjects of King Humbert.
1t is left to the Attorney General or the
courts to determine, therefore, whether,
by exercising the right of American fran
chise, the men who were lynched did not
relinquish whatever privileges they might
possess as citizens of Italy. The claim
made by the Italian Consul at New Or
leans that the Malta, in voting, had no
idea of abandoning their allegiance to
Italy, is ridiculed here. By jurists it is
held that the act or casting the DaIloC IN
Louisiana was a declaration to become
citizens of the United States. 1t is not
known whether or not the report states
that the Italians had taken out their nat
uralization papers before voting.
If the fact is established that by voting
the Malta babe farewell to their Italian
citizenship, lawyers here say Rudini's
case will have every prop knocked from
under it and the whole diplomatic war
fare will prove farce so far as the Ital'
ian Premier figures in it.
