Glass WorIsers on strike.

PITTsBuRG, Jan. 9S. The employees Of
the seven Pittsburg glass tableware fac
tories controlled by the United states
Glass company, the recently formed
trust, are on strike. About eight hun
dred men are idle. The present indica-
tions are that the strike will extend
over all the factories of the United
States company, there being nine other
factories outside of Pittsburg. The
cause of the strike is new set of rules.
The new rules demand in substance that
the men work four and half hours on
a ''tnsk" whether they can finish it in
less time or not, in order that better
ware may be produced.

TRENTON LAWMAKERS.
Race Track Legislation Still the Lead
ing Subject for Discussion.


ing Subject for Discussion.
TRENTON, Jan. 2S.-The contemplated
race track legislation continues to be
the uppernost topic of discussion at the
state house. A bill was drafted this
week, but the track managers did not
fully agree upon its provisions, and it
has been wialheld for alteration. The
bill, it is said, has in view the fixing of
period for racing, and the allotment or
tsirty days for each track. This period
OF time distributed among the six tracks
in this state would mean racing for SIX.
months, or all that time between May 1
and Nov. In each year. Betting on the
tracks would BE LOCALIZED and the dis
orderly house section of the criminal
laws would be repealed. This would
give each track share in the Epoils.
Gloucester and Gutenberg nligSt con-
tinue the whole year.
In Hudson county it is impossible to
secure an indictment now. With the
criminal law amended the came thing
would probably be true in Camden
county, where the Gloucester track is. If
the Monmouth, Clifton and Union
county track owners were able to open
their places they would not care whether
the Gloucester and Gutenberg men kept
open the whole year round or not.
One thing certain, the Gutenberg
men will not consent to anything that
robs them Of all they now enjoy. 1t
might be that the Clifton and some of
the other track owners would do little
winter racing themselves. A bill not
unlike the one now suggested was passed
twp years ago, but was not signed by the
governor.
A bill was introduced in the house
providing that the mayor of Newark
shall be president of ali public bodies in
that city, with all the privileges of a
member. There will be lively time
when the bill comes up for final passage
The house adjourned for the week out
of respect to the memory Of Justice
Knapp, who died on tho bench Tuesday.

VICTORIA'S THANKS.
Her Graceful Acknowledgment Of
Messages Of Sympathy.
ONLY ONE GREATER BEREAVEMENT.

The Queen Places the Loss of Her
Grandson Second Only to tho Death
of the Prince Consort-A Rebuke
to the German Emperor.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Royal Gazette
publishes the following in relation to the
death Of the Duke of Clarence:
81 must again give expression to my
deep sense of the loyalty and affection
ate sympathy evinced by my subjects
in every part Of my empire on an occa-
sion more sad and tragical than any but
one which has befallen me and NINE as
well as the nation, in the overwhelming
misfortune of the death of my dearly
beloved grandson, suddenly cut off in
the flower of his age, full of promise for
the future. That he was SO amiable and
gentle, and endearing himself to all,
renders it hard for his sorely stricken
parents, his dear young bride and fond
grandmother to bow with submission to
the insc1utable decrees of Providence.
The sympathy of millions, touching and
visibly expressed, is deeply gratifying
and | wish, in our own name, and that
of our children, to express from our
heart warm gratitude for all these testi-
monials of sympathy with us in appre-
citation of our dear grandson, whom l
loved as son, and whose devotion to me
was as great as that of q son could be-
help and consolation to me and mine.
My bereavements for the last thirty
years of my reign have been indeed
heavy, and though the labors, anxieties
and responsibilities inseparable from my
position have also been great, yet it is
my earnest prayer that God will con-
tinue to give me health aud strength to
work for the good and happiness of my
dear country and empire while life lasts.
"VICToRIA."
This utterance of the queen is a sub
ject Of general comment everywhere,
and particularly the fact that though
she has also lost two children, she
counts the death of the Duke of Clar-
ence as a bereavement second only to
the death of the prince consort, thus
confirming what has been said of her
maiesty's deep affection for her grand
son. The royal expression is also, it is
thought, intended to set at rest rumors
as to her maiesty's health, as she prays
that she may be continued in good
health, thus averring that she is in good
health at present.
1t Is thought singular, also, that her
majesty should have chosen the kaiser s
birthday as the date for the issue of her
card of thanks for public sympathy, and
it is suggested that rebuke is intended
for the bumptious grandson, who is re-
yelling in festivity while his relatives
are plunged in grief.

NATIONAL Boa OF TRADE.
Some Delegates Urge Abolition of tho
Interstate Commerce Commission.

lntefsLhtc OomfnotCb SoutHhsalohs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-One hundred
and fifty delegates are present at the
meetings of the national board of trade.
Twenty-Five new associations were adj
mitted to membership. After the re-
port of the executive committee had
been read Frederick Fraley was unani-
mously reelected president. A COM
mittee was appointed to consider the
Torrey bankruptcy bill. A resolution
in regard to placing, by the government,
i'll cities of 100, 900 or more inhabitants,
machines for testing building materials
was discussed and laid on the table.
The next resolution considered recited
that owing to the immense amount of
business crowded on the interstate conf
merce commission, requiring years in
some instances, to reach decisions, it has
become necessary to relieve the commits
sioners of part OF their labors. The res
olution recommended an amendment to
the interstate laws so as to create five
districts throughout the United States,
each Of which shall be under the direct
chargeof u board of three commissioners,
to be appointed in the same manner as
the interstate commissioners. The reso-
luton was presented by the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce, and was sup
ported by the delegates.
In the discussion which followed some
of the delegates favored the abolition of
the interstate commission, declaring it
all obstruction to business.
Mr.. Knight, of Wisconsin, offered a
substitute for the resoluting, providing
that the United States be divided into
districts, and board of commissioners
be created by law for every district, to
hear and determine all questions arising
under the interstate commerce law in
such districts, from which appeal may be
taken to the interstate commission.
After further discussion the resolution
and substitute We're referred to special
committee, with instructions to report
before the board adjourns tomorrow.

IN IMMINENT PERIL.
Italian Workmen Adrift on the
Ocean in Open Scows.
EIGHTEEN LIVES IN THE BALANCE.

The Tug Webster and Four Scows
Still at the Mercy of the Tempest.
Two of the Scows and the Tugboat
Sighted by an Incoming Steamer.
Given Up for Lost.
New YORK, Jan. 2s.-The tugboat G.
w. Runyan late yesterday afternoon
rescued fifty Italians from some scows
in Gravesend bay which were flying sig
nails of distress. These are the men re-
ported in danger yesterday. The Ital-
ians We're nearly frozen.
The report of the rescue of the tug
Webster and her scows was erroneous.
There We're four scows, and of these two
were anchored off Rockaway inlet
after the accident to the Webster. The
scows that were anchored broke loose
from their moorings and drifted out to
sea. The Webster and her four seows
are as yet undiscovered, so that now there
are q total of eighteen men-ten on the
tnghoat and two on each of the four
scoWs-at the mercy OF the ocean waves.
Given Up for Lost.
Several steamboats, and dtugs have been
dispatched TO search for the missing
Webster and the four scows, but none
of them have been able to catch sight of
them. The relief boats have been sew
eral times forced by stress Of weather to
put back to this city. IL IS all they can
do to save themselves when once beyond
Sandy Hook. and the chances in favor of
the rescue of the storm driven boats
grow. smaller with every hour that
goes by.
Tie relatives and friends of the eight
cen missing men have we'll nigh given
up hope of seeing them again alive. All
persons in a position to give an opinion
upon the subject unite in saving that
the chances of escape for the storm
driven men are as one out of Il thousand.
The British steamer Stronton has ar
rived at Quarantine, and reports that on
Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 she passed
two scows adrift about three miles off
Long Branch, and three miles south of
them sighted a tugboat which was APP
parently anchored, but which may pos
sibiy have been disabled. 1t is thought
that this may be the missing tug Web
ster, which has not yet been heard from.
