TROUBLE BREWING IN INDIA.

QUIET PREVAILS,
But constabIes Are Busy Ar
resting the Leading Rioters.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 6.-[Spe-
ciall-Quiet prevails in the coke regions
today. There has been no disturbance
OF any kind. The first effort to start
the works since the riot was made this
morning. BY actual count there were
forty men at work, and it was evident
that the majority of them were old en-
ployes. as they drew out good coke and
did it in elegant shape. The men were
not interfered with in any way while
going to work. 1t seems that the strik-
ers are too badly frightened to disturb
any one at the present time. This con-
dition of affairs is, of course, duo to
soldiers, who have their guns loaded
with ball cartridge, and who seom TO
have no fear Of putting a pall into the
man who comes too close to the line.
Sheriff Clawson came over from
Greensburg this morning and was a
very busy man. He has warrants for
twenty-five of the rioters, and will
probably have warrants for about fifty
more before the day is over. These
warrants are all placed in the hands of
constablcs and deputies to help in the
arrests This was lively day for the
different township officers, as they were
ordered to go ahead with tho arrests
Immediately, so that the leaders of the
rioters will be safely Jailed before the
soldiers leave here.
During the morning six men were ar
rested, and there was considerable
trouble in securing them. 1t has now
become generally known among the
strikers that warrants arc out for the
supposed leaders in the riot, and they
are keeping themselves hid as much as
possible. Superintendent Morris Ram
say returned from Grcensburg at IL
o'clock today and immediately sworo
out warrants for tho arrest of fifteen
additional Italians. These warrants
were placed in tho hands of constables,
and 1t is expected that before midnight
at least thirty of the rioters will be in
Jail.
Sheriff Clawson had long conference
with superintendent Ramsay, of the
Morewood Works, and General Superin-
tendent Lynch, of tho Prick interests,
this afternoon and it seemed to DO of
great Importance, but mono of the gen-
tlemen would say much about it. The
Sheriff stated that they have decided on
move that in his opinion would put at
rest all fears of violence in the future.
Evictions of tenants from the company's
houses will be commenced very soon; at
any rate, before the soldiers leave here.
Several carloads Of provisions were re-
ceived to-day and distributed among
the strikers.

NEGOTIATIONS POSTPONED,
But the Canadian Pnrty In Washington
by MISUNDERSTANDING

hut the Canadian Pnrty in Washington
by misunderstanding.
WASHINGTON, April g. Special The
Canadians who camo to Washington for
the purpose of discussing reciprocity
with Secretary Blaine, accompanied by
Sir Julian Pauncefote, called upon the
Secretary at his homo just before noon.
Their stay lasted but few minutes,
and, returning to their hotel, they an
nounccd that they were about to leave
Washington in few hours. AS social
engagements had been made by mem
bers of tho party that indicated pur-
pose to stay in Washington at least q
week, news Of the intended sudden de-
parture caused some surprise
This was set at rest, however, by the
statement from Sir Charles Upper,
Canadian high commissioner in London.
Sir Charles said that he visited Secretary
Blaine last Saturday and was oour-
tcously received. lie explained the de-
sire of the Can',ian governments to lay
inc foundations that should broaden
trade relations between the Dominion
and the United States, Secrctar-
Iiiaine met the proposal favorably. and
Sir Charles returned to Ottawa to re-
port the result to his government and To
secure the presence in Washington to-
day OF Mr.. Foster, minister of marine.
ana Mr. Thompson, minister of Justice.
Secretary Blaine having arranged to re.
ceive thom.
Subsequently Secretary Blaine learned
that the President desired to be present
whom negotiations were undertaken and
his projected Southern and Western
trip would not permit of that if nego-
tiations were to proceed at once. Ac-
cordlngly, Secretary Blaine informed
Sir Julian Pauncofotc that POSTPONE
ment would be desirable, and the min.
lister so telegraphed Sir Charles Upper
at Ottawa. But the party had started
for Washington before the telegram way
received and was not informed of the
change of programme until this morn
ing.
Messrs. Foster and THOMPSON left
Washington at o'clock this afternoon
for Ottawa, and Sir Charles Upper will
go straight to London. He says that
Sir Julian Pauncefote will notify tho
party when to return to Washington.
which will be as soon as the President
can conveniently give his attention to
the negotiations. After the interview
with Secretary Blaine this morning the
party called at the white house and left
their cards for the President

MAGNIFICENT STEAMERS.
The New River Boats Plying between Nor
folk and Washington.

The New River Boats Plying between Nor
folk and Washington.
The Norfolk and Washington Steam
boat Company's new steamers, the
Washington and Norfolk, fairly rival in
magnificence any river steamboats, in
the country. They are both now in
service making daily trips between Nor
folk and Washington.
They are much alike, SO description
OF tho Washington will fairly answer
for both. She is new in design, many
of her feature, being UNIQUE and stril.
ingly pleasing. She is n three. decker,
and besides the staterooms on the two
lower decks, she has number of bal
cony rooms, which arrangement is a
charming departure from the old school.
The principal feature of tho construc-
ton of the hull is tho new creation of
Superintendent Callahan, in what is
known as the flaring sides, that is, the
hull is thrown out from the watcr line
at every curve up to the main deck.
This is the first vessel ever built in
this manner in this country, and ex-
pcrts pronounce it the best yet adopted
for bay or sea-going boats.
Her officers are as follows: Captain,
5. Ii. Davis; purser, r. L. Pill1enton;
chief engineer, j. ii. Trower, Of Nor
folk; first officer, Austin coleman; sec
ond officer, Chas. w. Kirby; second
engineer, George =. Savage.
Her length is EGO feet, breadth of
beam at water line 81 feet, breadth of
beam across the main deck &c feet,
depth of hold 16 feet inches. She is
driven by triple expansion engine.
High pressure. ID inches; intermediate
20 inches; low pressure, 50 inches, with
stroke rs inches. She has two steel
Scotch boilers, 13 feetG inches in dia-
meter.
She has cighty-two statcrooms, ali
large and roomy. There are twenty
with bcdstcads, twelve in the gallery,
eight in the main saloon. There are
siXty-two births. The furniture is of
chartered oak, upholstered in plush of
a different tint in each saloon. She has
electric lights throughout. and her sky
lights arc of glass of delicate and beau

ROANOKE. VA, TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL Z 1891
THE CITY SURVEY.
City Engineer Dunlap's Report
is Endorsed.

The engineers of Roanoke met last
evening at the First ward school build
ing to discuss City Engineer Dunlap's
report on the city survey. There was
a small attendance, owing probably to
the fact that neither the hall nor any
room was lighted until TIMES reporter
organized himself into relief corps Of
one. After probing around in the dark
for some ten minutes investigating q
complicated gas lighting apparatus, he
succeeded in lighting up. In the mean
while several engineers had come and
gone.
But there were fifteen present, and
they had thorough discussion of the
report, which was read in full. Council
man Skinker presided at the meeting.
Major Newly suggested slight vor-
bal change, which was adopted. At Mr..
Rawn's suggestion Mr.. Dunlap pointed
out on contour map the lines for the
base OF system of triangulatiou for the
skeleton survey. One proposed base
limo lies in the northwest section and
the other southwest. From these two a
system of triangles would be established
ending in the measurement of line
llOu ANA = ILL w VIC OuuTCu,
the measurement of which would check
the triangles and base lines. Mr.. Dun
lap proposed to establish tho triangula-
ton first. This position was criticised
by Mr.. Rawn, Mr.. Churchill and Major
Newly, who contended that the tri-
angulation and actual detail survey
should accompany each other, using the
triangulation as check.
motion was put and carried that it
was the sense of the meeting that one
party be put on tho Criangulation and
another on the detail work.
The subject of monuments resulted
in recommendation of ganite block
for outside and triangulation points,
and that the permanent points be put
flush with the pavements at each street
corner five feet from the building line
For the latter points granite blocks were
also suggested reserving, however, the
question of cost On this it was pointed
out that asphalt or cement blocks
might be equally serviceable and very
much cheaper. The granite block will
cost 60 cents each.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
rectilinear co-ordinates be used for meas
uring points.
The basis of forty feet to the inch
was recommended for the official detail
map, with general map on the side of
400 feet to the inch. The subject of
instruments was passed over, and ad-
journment followed.
