The King of the Carnival Received at
New Orleans with Imposing Display.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-The Oliver
Bierne, having on board members of the
royal host and carnival court, backed
out from the head of Canal street at II
o'clock Monday and steamed down the
river to meet his majesty, Rex. When
the royal yacht was met, Rex and his
retinue were transferred to the Bierne.
The steamer, on her return, reached the
head of Canal street at 3 p. m, passing
up the river by the white squadron. A
royal salute in honor of his majesty was
fired by each vessel of the float.
The Beirne then landed at Canal
street, where a procession was formed,
Consisting OF fifteen companies q Louis

Moreover, if political absorption fol-

it would, the working of Americas

jected to a severe strain by the difficulty

speculate ON the result"
The Chronicle says: "The fact that

England Has No Treaty with Brazil.
Sir James Ferguson, of the foreign
Office, answering a question to parlia-

reciprocity treaty with Brazil and as to
whether Great Britain would have equal
commercial advantages in Brazil with
those bestowed by the treaty on the
United States, replied that Great Brit
ain had no commercial treaty with Bra
zil, and could not, therefore, demand the
same trading rights as those bestowed
by the treaty on the United States.

How They Regard the Struggle in Canada

How They Regard the Struggle in Canada
and the Brazilian Reciprocity Treaty.
LONDON. Feb. Reciprocity is now
one of the leading topics here, where
considerable interest is taken in the
campaign now ON in Canada, where
closer commercial trade relations with
the United States is the leading issue.
The reciprocity treaty between the
United States and Brazil has aroused
much uneasiness in trading circles here,
especially as, by the governments own
admission there is no obligation on Bra
zll to accord similar favors 10 England.
English merchants have well established
houses at Rio Janeiro and other Brazil
ian cities, and the British trade with
the republic is very valuable. 1t is
feared that much of this will be lost to
England. The course of Brazil in
favoring American trade is attributed
to the hesitation shown in Europe to rec
ognize the republic and to the fact that
Dom Pedro, the exiled emperor, IS con-
nected by the ties of kindred with the
ruling house of England and Germany,
the last named country especially hay-
lug put off recognition until recently.

OVER 10000 MEN OUT.

Inauguration of Great Strike in the
ConnellsviIle Coke Region.
PITTsBURG, Feb. 1.-THE great strike
in the Connellsville coke regions was in
augurated Monday morning and soon
every mine and coke works in
the region will be closed down. The
miners, to the number of about 10000,
refused to go to work Monday, the
only men now work ng being the coke
drawers. There are 5000 men employed
at this work, and as soon as they have
drawn the coke from the ovens they
will quit also.
The strike is for an advance in wages
of twelve and a half cents per ton and
against a 10 per cent. reduction. The
workmen offered to continue at the pres
ent wages until March I, provided the
operators would arrange a satisfactory
scale in the mean time, but this was re-
fused The independent or small op-
orators then made proposition to their
men to pay the old wages until settle
ment of the trouble, but this was also
rejected, and the strike ordered.
No coal has been mined In any of the
pits by the Frick, Schoonmaker or Nc
Clure coke companies since Saturday.
In the Dunbar district the men are
nearly all at work and some of them will
remain at work if permitted to do SO.
The workers scale demands an ad-
vance in wages of about II per cent; ;
ell coal to be weighed instead of meas
ured, and eight hours to constitute a days
work.
The operators have demanded reduc-
ton of 10 per cent. on all classes of la
bor The current wage scale has ex-
pired. There are now negotiations for
a settlement pending,
The operators claim that owing to the
depressed condition of the coke and iron
trade reduction is necessary, while,
upon the other hand, the workmen say
the depression is only temporary, and
the operators can well afford to pay the
increase.
Riot at the Fort Hill Coke Works.
A riot occurred at the Fort Hill coke
works, near Dawson, Sunday. A num-
ber of drunken Hungarians attacked
Yard Boss Snyder and beat him un-
mercifully. They also beat man who
was assisting Snyder so badly that his
death is momentarily expected. No ar
rests have yet been made, but warrants
have been sworn out.
1t is reported that the fight was pre-
cipitated by the present wage difficult
ties. The Fort Hill works are owned
by w. j. Rainey, of Cleveland. AT the
last strike, July 1899, men and houses
over nearly all the Youghiogheny region
were stoned by Hungarians because the
men, under confusion of orders from
their leaders. returned to work.

and that the government is only waiting

of course, to be the reformers. Little
