Quit Work.
ever l00,e90 Men to Join the Army Of the UnCm
plO!ed on HOHday-Result Of "a
Lockout.
Special to THE MoRN1No CALL

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE executive COM
mittees OF the Granite-cutters and Paving
cutters national unions announce this
morning that they have decided to order a
general strike of granite-cutters, quarry
men and paying-cutters. even If the threat
ened lockout" in New England did not take
place. Before the important decision was
reached every trade in the stone industry
was consulted, and not one union d:ssented
from the proposition to go on strike
Monday morning. The lowest estimate
will strike on Monday at 100000.
The seriousness OF the strike is made
plain by the fact that the police in at least
dozen large Eastern cities are making prep
arations 10 uuell all possible demonstrations
by the strikers. The eccentric engineers
and derrick men decided to support the
granite. cutters.
The strike will not be directed against
employers in various cities, but against the
granite manufacturers in New England.
Both employers and employees have
entered the fight in earnest and
il may last several months. causing
much suffering in all parts of the country.
The police expect trouble, especially along
the water front, where strenuous attempts
will be made to prevent the unloading of
granite and blue stone from Objectionable
quarTies. The union longShoremen are in
sympathy with the Granite-cutters' Union
and have agreed to refuse to handle any
stone from the New England quarries.
Work has already been stopped on the
water tower and memorial arch In Brooklyn
and in the yards OF Booth Bros.
and the Hurricane Isle Granite Com
pany, and on the extension of the
Mutual Life building in this city On
Monday work will be STOPPED on the fouu-
datiOns of the Grant monument, on the new
State Capitol at Albany, where 500 men
will stop work; on the new Congressional
Library building a. Washington, where 500
men VIII stop work; and on the Reading
terminal buildings and the Betz building in
Philadelphia.
The troubles of the PAYERS are assuming
n more serious aspect every hour The
Granite Manufacturers Association asserts
that the places of the strikers will be
filed with German pavets. Where the
nOn-union men are coming from cannot be
learned. A mass-meetng of strikers will
be held on Monday. The union will estab-
lish headquarters In this city, where the
national officers will remain until the strike
is settled.
sReports from Providence. r. l., New
Hampshire aud other points in New Eng
land indicate the commencement nt a great
granite-cutter's lockout and strike COM
bned at Providence.
The granlte-cutterS we're notified tonight
that work would not open Monday, though
the men who are working on Government
contracts We're requested 10 continue. They
declined by unanimous vote of the unions,
however, as was the case at Concord, when
the men VINO were not paid off tonight de-
cided to strike Monday.

The statistics of available wheat stocks
indicate that with the eontiauance OF the
rate of exports reported for three weeks
past, the United States VIII carry over
about as much available, and probably more
invisible, wheat in July than on that date

The consensus of European expert opin-
ion as to the prospective price OF wheat IS
cabled as follows: II depends upon the
weather and crop reports. Meanwhile the
French demand, which may cease within ten
days, imp TJS irmness. The general
opinion among European authorities Is that
the lowest price has been touched this sea-
son, although sufficient supplies are prac-
tically assured. European crop prospects
are generally below the average, though
probably not much.

CHINESE RESTRICTION.
The Oldest American Resident Missionary
Expresses His Views.


WASHINGTON, May 14-Secretary Blaine
has received letter from DR.. d. J. Mac
Gowan, for many years American mis-
siOnary in China, under date of Shanghai,
March 81, upon the subject OF Chinese i'm
migration. He pleads, in extenustion of
his taking it upon himself to interfere in
the matter. the fact that he is the senior
American resident in China. He says
China does not desire to see the United
States flooded by her proetariat as China
already possesses vast regions inviting i'm
migration; moreover. the Cinnamon return
ing after a residence in the United States
are less easily controlled by the mandari-
nate. He says that China has the right to
demand that she be treated as an equal, and
self-respect, dutyi to her people and tie
position she desires to maintain among
civilized nations impose upon her the neces-
sity Of eontending for reciprocal cOnces-
siODs. As q solution Of the difficulty Mac
Gowan suggests that the relations which
now exist might be corrected by en- immi-
grafton reciprocity treaty, fixing the num-
ber OF citizens of each State to be admitted
to reside in the other. He further says the
Americans in China do not apprehend such
reprsals they have heard, yet they are soli-
citous that the land ia which they reside
should feel that its honor is not impugned
by their country and that citizens, official,
secular and missionary, with unprece-
denled unanimity, concur in the view ex-
pressed.

Formation of Permanent Mississippi River
Improvement Association.


Improvement Association.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May IA new era in
the Improvement of the Mississippi River
has come by the organization of
the Mississippi River improvement
Association. The permanent organiza-
tion is composed Of the most promi-
nent engineers and capitalists of the Miss
issil pi Valley aud whose object is to CO.

Construction Association in urging upon
Congress the necessity of carrying out
promptly the recommendation of that body.

sectional demands" The idea in substance
is that no Improvement be pressed before

scientific examination and approval by this
organization. Only those appropriations will
be recommended as are designed "for the
common veal and the improvement of the
Mississippi River and its tributaries as one
great majestic whole"
The following executive committee to or
ganiza permanently the Mississippi River
Improvement Association was appointed: !:
Judge I. j, Latham chairman, w. III. Hal
