Guilty Of Embezzlement.
young white man entered police headquar-
tiers about 9 o'clock last night and very coolly
informed Sergt. Perry, who was in charge, that
he was wanted in England for an embezzle-
ment in February last. After q short private
talk with the sergeant the latter called patrol
wagon and sent him to the first precinct, where
he was locked up. He gave the name Of William
Rennison, aged twenty-six years. and said he
had been employed by James Hill 4 Co., manu-
facturers Of locks and hardware, in London,
from boyhood, rising to the position of cashier,
and in an unguarded moment he embezzled
some Of the funds, calculating to replace them,
and when it became evident that an exposure
was impending he left He stated that he had
worked on farms in Virginia and Maryland since
spring, but his conscience upbraiding him he
determined to give himself up, and after walk
ing past headquarters several times he did so.
he stated that the amount had little TO do with
the punishment, which was five to fifteen years
but he could bear it, but dreaded
the effect on his family and friends.

"This Thing Must Stop"

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Referring to labor troubles, strikes and lock-
outs it is certainly proper to say that ''this
thing must stop" But 1t only can stop as the
consequence Of some adjustment. 1t is intol-
cradle that any men should be permitted to say
that when they forsake their employment the
vacancy they create shall not be filed by any
one else. or that union men shall have q right
to control men who do not belong to the union
The employed should not have the authority to
destroy or to control the business of their en-
ployers. On the other hand, public opinion,
which in the long run expresses essential JUS
tice. has reached point at which il will no
longer tolerate the present condition of things
in which employers have power to reduce the
wages Of their employees arbitrarily or to dis
charge the men at will.
The employed has q vested right to continue
in his employment during good behavior, and
the employer has a vested right to be protected
from strikes, as q landlord cannot evict O ten
ant without notice, and a tenant cannot escape
liability for rent by moving out Of house
without notice on his part. Neither party il
competent to judge the rights of both. There
is but one competent judge. and that is the
people themselves speaking through their con-
stituted authorities, the legislature and the
court Disputes between employer and en-
ployed should be settled in court in the matter
OF wages as much as it now could be in the
matter OF contracts or Of personal assaults
Strikes and lockouts should be made crimes by
statute. and those who participate in them
should be prosecuted in the forms and by the
authority Of law. At present strikers may
cripple business by their abstention from
labor as long as they please, provided they do
not "break the peace" and employers may
starve their employees into submission if they
choose. The absence Of law to meet the
emergency occasions that calamity only second
to anarchy, the recourse to the military power
to enforce order. The enforcement Of order
in such way cures no evils, but only sup
presses the social disease for time. making it
liable to break out with fresh vigor and per-
haps in . more vital organ on the next oppor-
tunity.
Boards Of arbitration are established in some
states, but can only act by consent Of both par
ties to dispute. No such consent should be
requisite for their action any more than con-
sent is required when party is summoned into
court for maintaining nuisance. carrying con-
cealed weapons or running q saloon without Q
license. b. PICKMAN MANN,

CAN WORK TWELVE HOURS.
The Engineers at the Pumping Station 4
Georgetown.


Georgetown.
Attorney Hazelton some days ago decided
that the provisions of the eight-hour law ap-
piled to the engineers employed at the pump
ing station in Georgetown. This opinion caused
considerable anxiety in the water department,
for the appropriation bill provided for four en-
gineers at s1,l00 per annum and there was no
other fund out Of which additional engineers
could be paid, and If the department was held
strictly TO the law additional men would have
to be employed. The pumps are operated all
the time. One set of men work twelve hours
and then the relief comes on and finishes the
day.
The first controller, however, decided that
while the appropriation bill did not permit Of
any additional firemen engineers. the clause
in the eight-hour law providing for the en-
ployment of men over eight hours in extra
ordinary emergencies covered the case in ques-
ton. and the Commissioners could very prop
erly consider this an extraordinary emergency
and continue the men as heretofore ct work
twelve hours.

Yesterday afternoon Coroner Patterson held
an inquest at the third precinct station in the
case of George A. Dyer, the twelve-year-old
colored boy who was run over by train and
killed while on the Long bridge Wednesday
afternoon. The jury heard statements as to
how the fatal accident occurred. All the state
ments were to the effect that the boy ran across
the track to escape one train and ran against a
train coming in the opposite direction. Evil
dence was also given to show something about
the speed of the train.
The jury was satisfied that the accident was
due to the boys actions and not to any careless
ness or neglect on part Of the railroad employees,
and returned a verdict accordingly cxonerating
the train hands.

Labor Troubles in Russia.

burg says: "Serious riots have occurredin the
small manufacturing town of Hughesofka on the
sea Of Azov, where thousands of hands are en-
ployed in extensive works, collieries and rolling
mills of the new Russia company founded by
the late John Hughes. Many buildings have
been destroyed, 4nd it is reported that several
Cossacks have been killed. The governor Of
Taganrog has started for the scene with troops,
and endorsements have also left Ekaterino-

the cholera epidemic.

IRWIN MAY BE REMOVED.

dispatch from Louisville says there Is good
grounds for the belief that Arthur Irwin will
likely be ousted from the management Of the
Washington club and Danny Richardson made
captain manager. President Wagner is very
sore over the poor work of his team and is
understood to have given Manager Irwin an
overhauling, with the intimation that unless q
marked improvement takes place shortly a
change will be made in the management. The
players are known to be unfriendly to Irwin
because of the latter's continual scolding, and
say he reminds them more Of an old woman
than base ball general.

for some unknown reason he made an attempt
this morning to bring his life to an'abrupt end

throat so badly that blood was gushing from
the wound and had badly stained the bed

DIR. Cole, whose Office ia in the neighborhood,

man and he succeeded in stopping the flow Of
blood. Later in the morning the patient was
sent to Providence Hospital in the police ambu-
