Special Dtspdtek 10 DE Ints!lf0eReH.
PARkRRsBUe, W. Va, April 6.-The
municipal election here tomorrow will
be an unusually important one. While
the flilure of Mayor Gibbens to receive
a denomination has caused considerable
regret among his friends and supporters,
there is no break in the Republican
ranks, and Captain Norton L Upson
will be elected Mayor by larger major.
ity, than has usually been given, even
Republican candidates, in late years.
The Republicans will also elect three out
OF the four new CounCilmen to be
elected. The only Democrat who stands
the ghost OF show Is DR.. O. a. Wade,
candidate from the First ward. He may
defeat Mr.. John Pahl, but this Is not by
any means conceded by the Republtcane
OF that ward, who think with good
work Mr.. PAIL can be elected.
The importance Of the election hinges,
among other things, on the fact that new
city officers are to be elected by the new
Council this spring. The Democrats are
making q desperate fight OF course, as
always, to gain control of the Offices, but
they will not succeed. There will be
some changes in the important offices,
however, at any rate.
City Clerk L. W. Hughes will very
likely retire TO give place either to Capt.
A. F. Lang or Henry F. Harnish. Capt.
John Hogan stands show Of wearing
the badge OF Chief Of Police, succeeding
Capt. Il. L. Dis. For Polics Judge,
Capt. A. B. Beck with will very proba-
bly, succeed Major J. L. Simpson.
The police force and minor offices will
remain about as they are.
The next Council, as to.morrow's bal
lots. will show, will stand the same as
the present one, five Republicans and
a Republican Mayor to three Democrats.

Sea question has been copied in whole
or in part in many English journals. It
is q surpriss to the British public, or to

Hitherto they have been content to hold
Mr.. Blaine responsible for all the trouble
in that quarter. They have been told by
their own papers and by some
OF those published in New, York, that
Mr.. Blaine took purely political
view, that the sober opinion OF America
was opposed to him. They read with
more or leRs satisfaction the cabled abuse
OF the American statesman. Then sud-
denly they arc confronted with Mr..
Phelps. They knew him 8s one Of the
ablest American Ministers who ever rep.
resented his country in England, as .
lawyer of the first rank, as q citizen Of
the highest character. They find him
sustaining Mr.. Blaine in every material

LONDON, April 6.-Although Germany
permits her agent at Sofia to act also in
behalf of the Russian goyernment-an
arrangement established when Bismarck
was Chancellor Emperor will not
allow the German agency to be the
shield of any plots or conspiracies against
Prince Ferdinand, as the prompt surren.
der Of a Bulgarian in the employ Of the
embassy has shown.
This man, Sochovukolf, is believed by
the Bulgarian authorities to have been
the leading spirit in Sofia Of the conspir.
acy 10 murder Premier stambulotf, and
which resulted in the killing OF Minister
BeltcheH. His surrender was oil vatal
importance to Prince Ferdinand's gov.
ernment, and it was equally to the inter
est Of Russia that he should be protected.
The Russian Ambassador, Schouva-
loG, had personal interview with Pre-
mier Caprivi on the subject immedi.
ately after his return to Berlin, but Cap
riH was obstinate. The return to Ber-
lin may lead to the uncovering Of the
whole conspiracy.

Mt. PLEASANT, Pa, April 6.-Quiet
prevails in the coke regions to-day.
There has been actually no disturbance
Of any kind. The tirst real effort to
start the works since the riot was made
this morning. BY actual count there
we're forty men at work and it was evil
dent that the msiority of them were old
employees, as they drew out good coke
and did it in elegant shape. The men
we're not interiered with in any way
while going to work. It seems that the
strikers are too badly frightened to dis.
turb any one at the present time. This
condition OF affairs is, OF course, due to
the soldiers, who have their guns loaded
with ball cartridges, and who seem to
have no fear OF putting ball into man
who comes too close to the line.
Sheriff. 1Glawaon came oyer from
Greensblrg this morning, and was a
very busy man. He has warrants for
twenty five Of the rioters and will prob.
ably have warrants Tor about fifty more
before the day is over. These warrants
we're all placed in the hands Of con-
stables, and the deputies are helping in
the arrests. The different, township
officers we're ordered aeqifgu 9hes7 with
the arrests Immediately, 90 that the
leaders OF the rioters will be safely
Jailed before the aoldiers 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 are out for the
leaders, or supposed leaders 10 the riot,
and they are keeping themselves hid
as much "a possible.
Superintendent Morris Ramsey re.
turned from Green0bIrg at eleven
O'Clock this morning and Immediately
swore out warrants for the arrest Of 6t'
teen additional Italians. These war.
rants were placed in the hands OF the
constables, and It is expected that be-
fore midnight at least thirty Of the riot.
ers will be in i4il.

Johns Great Problem.
QUEBEC. CANADA, April 6,-Canads
may now have on her hands as big a re.
ligious fight as political one, over the
Manitoba school act. Cardinal Tasche.
reau, and the entire Roman Catholic
hierarchy have entered upon a war
against 1t, and in all their churches
yesterday, joint mandement signed
by them was read.
In the Basiliea, Cardinal Taschereau
preached strongly in its support, urging
the faithful to declare against the act
aud demand It's disavowal at Ottawa.
The act In question prohibits religious
instruction in public schools in Mani.
toba, making them all non.sectarian as
in the United States, and was passed by
the Legislature Of Manitoba. The heir.
archy insist that the Government OF
Canada must veto the act and the result
Of the mandement must b to form Cana.
dian Catholics into an almost compact
body in support OF this course.
Catholic members OF the new Parlia.
ment will be largely Influenced by the
mandement, and in view Of the re.
duced majority for the government at
Ottawa, the situation in which Sir John
will find himself cannot fail to be crit.
ical, for 1t will become question Of ex.
pediency, and while the people OF Man
itoba claim the right to manage their
own affairs, and the Protestant electors
as rule throughout Canada take the
same stand, and while the Roman Cath
Ollie church hold on the other hand that
the act Is violation OF vested and sacred
rights, Sir John will certainly count
noses and decide upon the course that
will expose him to the least possible loss
Of support, 0nly few weeks remain OF
the period within which the act may be
disallowed. At Ottawa, Sir Johns
friends think he may evade the ques.
ton by referring to the constitutionality
Of the act OF the Supreme Court.

Progressive ticket. Two tickets were in
the field. One was nominated to put

was the voting Of $4,000 bonds for paw
