Evenings and Sunday afternoons the
men sit about in the rough sod kitchens
which surround the main building. or.
stretched on the grass, smoke their
pipes, mend their clothes and tell
stories of the sunny land which they
have left behind them.
Another domestic duty which requires
much of their time is the preparation OF
macaroni. The dough for this is given
an amount of kneading which would
discourage an American housewife it
she were required to mold" her bread
to the same extent.
Only the more shiftless members OF
the camp find any time for idleness or
leisure as long as daylight lasts; but
when the dusk comes, care and fatigue
seem to slip readily from all, and sing
ing, and organ and bagpipe playing put
them in rs gay spirits as though they
had money in the bank instead of being
obliged to shovel gravel ut s1.25 for ten
hours. Sometimes, when the demand
for this class of labor is strong end tho
supplies scarce, they get Sl.5O-but
more frequently the former. Some OK
the men, however, do not make as poor
O net showing upon this income as
might be expected
There are many instances in which
they have been known to live on total
expense of twenty cents day. This Is
not merely economy; it Is tinancieringl
A favorite article of diet is watermelons.
As soon rs these can be had at q reason
able price the streets leading from the
village store to the camp are filled with
little squads of these foreign laborers,
each man bearing on his shoulder or
head q carefully-poised watermelon.
Bread is their staple food-for they cam
not afford meat. Great quantities OF
stale "Vienna" twists are frequently
''dead headed" out from the city. On such
occasionsa delegation is always in watt
ing ut the station to receive the long
loaves, which are wrapped with burlap
into huge bundles and carried, like the
melons, on the heads and shoulders OF
the men, to camp.
1t needs only a single incident from
this camp to refute the thoughtless
sentiment which Is sometimes voiced TO
the effect that this class Of laborers are
little better in intelligence and appre'
citation than as many cattle. BY ms
fair and considerable treatment OF tne
laborers the railway official directly in
authority over the Geneva camp uncon-
sciously endeared himself to the men;
and. when the season was over, the ital-
ians chose a delegation from among
their number to go to the officials home
and present him with quantity OF rare
old wine of choice Italian vintage.

this season have filled the bitches with
running streams. The water Is not "a
clear Us Waukesha, but Il Is very handy
TO the camp. These streams also pos
sess another advantage which seems TO
be thoroughly appreciated by the Ital-
ians. Although the banks Of the
bitches are rather steep, they are near
enough together to allow n man with
ordinarily long legs to straddle the
stream, bend his head down between his
legs rs though about to stand on his head
and wash his face in the water below
him. II is a ludricous sight TO look up

nairs of legs and overhung by as MANY

slightest push would precipitate into

Anarchists and Arbitration in the

LONDON, April Sin the house of
whether, in view of the expulsion of
anarchists from France and the fact
that they were excluded from other
European countries and partly from the
United States under the alien law. thus
leaving Great Britain their only refuge,
the government would take steps to in
crease the powers of the authorities to
restrict their entry into the country.
Home Secretary Matthews said he was
not aware that France had expelled the
anarchists. If it was probable that any
of that class would attempt to come to
England the government would ask for
the necessary powers to prevent them.
Henry Labouchere asked whether, in
view of the fact that the American con-
greSs had authorized President Harrison
to conclude treaties with other powers
providing for the arbitration of disputed
questions, the government intended to
communicate with the United States
with the view to the negotiation of such
a treaty between Great Britain and the
United States.
J. w. Lowther, parliamentary secre-
tary of the foreign office, replied that
Mr.. Gladstone, when prime minister.
in replying to similar question, said
he was not prepared to do anything of
tie sort Although he held the same
opinion as Mr.. Gladstone on the sub
ject, the government did not desire to
give such an abrupt statement of its
views. The government, Mr.. Lowther
added, had shown itself not to be al
verse to referring to arbitration several
disputes that had arisen with forei! II
countries, but there are questions, su h
as those involving territorial and 9th,
rights, that the government could noG
pledge itself beforehand to submit to
arbitration.
Henry Labouchere moved and Mr..
Balfour, the government leader. as
Sented to the motion, that the govern
ment produce the return dates of each
parliament elected and dissolved since
1881, with the periods between the close
OF each election and the assembling of
the following parliament.

control over the strikers, VINO are COM
hitting all sorts of vandalism. The
men are at war with themselves, and
one reason why work is not resumed is
that many of the mines will require a
months pumping out before they can
be operated. One of the most noticea-
BILE features of the strike is that
the wives and families of the
strikers, despite the sufferingS
to which they are subjected
by the idleneSS of their bread winners
are the strongest opponents of sur

the case of the men is hopeless.

an emergency meeting tonight, to dis
Gus measures for abatlng the prevail

LONDON. April 5.-The newspapers
join in universal condemnation Of the
sentence of Mrs. Montague as too leuI-
emf. They compare Mrs. Montague's
case with that of Fannie Cane, the poor
girl who was convicted and sentenced
to death. the sentence being COMMITTED
to imprisonment for life, on the charge
of having strangled her infant, although
there was no convincing proof that she
had intended to cause the death of the
babe. and although if she did she was
presumably insane at the time with her
sufferings. 1t is argued that it is high
time for popular movement to enforce
the equality of all before the law. There
issa demand on the part of the press for
the appointment of a permanent guard
ian for the remaining children of Mrs.
Montague, and that the mother should
be set aside so far as personal care and
control of the children are concerned.
DUBLIN, April 5.-The Independent
today, commenting on the sentence of
Mrs. Montague, who was yesterday
found guilty of manslaughter for killing
her three-year-old daughter Helen, and
sentenced to years Imprisonment,
says that Mr.. Montague is a contempt
IDLE, henpecked creature, and that every
man must feel desire to hOrsewhip
him.

earnestly in favor of such restriction OF
the issue as will prevent depreciation.
The comparative value Of the two
metals is now, by international accord,
fixed as far as it can be, one to sixteen
so that one ounce of gold is worth six
teen of silver, and this will continue to
be their comparative value. unless new
and rich mines of one or the other shall
be discovered. But while this has been
agreed upon, 1t has been found
necessary by the leading ma
tons to limit the coinage Of sill
yer or its legal tender value.
1t has been found impossible for the
United States, without the cooperation
of other nations, to give to the two met
ais equal comparative value. Hence the
insuperable objection to the free coin
age of silver Being the inferior metal,
it would drive gold out Of circulation,
and we should have for standard
metal constantly fiuetuating in value,
to the great prejudice of all Legitimate
business.
If | were in a position to advise con-
gress, l should say, let us go OH as we
are now going; let the coinage of silver
go on with a restriction upon its legal
tender quality; let us profit by our own
experiences; let us profit also by the
action of Great Britain. the wisest of
nations, where silver coins have free
and large circulation without disturb

Moth and His Muscle.

Charley Moth is in the city with Jerry
Sullivan. This morning they will go to
Saltwater to complete arrangements
for the wrestling match in that city be-
tween Cartoniy and Sullivan for 5000 a
side and gate receipts. Sullivan is in
excellent form and Moth thinks
Jerry has a cinch. He confesses
he knows nothing about the
Saltwater mans proves, but he is
backing Jerry and expects to retrieve
the defeat suffered at the hands of Elan
nigan in Red Wing recently. Moth
will then return to st. Paul to meet
Smith McHugh, his old antagonist. Nc
Hugh writes that he has discontinued
his active training, and that he will
be in st. Paul tomorrow for the meet
ing. He will come prepared to back
himself for any sum that Moth is willing
to stake. Moth feels sanguine of the
outcome. and it promises to be a desper-
ate struggle. Moth has won from him
once, and McHugh's victory over him
in Rochester Feb. is sore point with
him. He declares that he was not given
fair show by the referee, and he
promises his friends that he will sur
prise the farmer lad Saturday night.
This event will come off at the armory
under the auspices of the National
Guard Athletic association, and there
will be several amateur events in con-
nection. ysi3

A Powerful Combination to
Stop All Payments to
Agents.
Vanderbilt, Pennsylvania and
Four Western Roads in
the Agreem ent.
Surrender by the Roads Left
Out Will Mean Peace in
Future.
Western Traffic Association
Alleged to Be Weak--NeW
Iowa Road.

CHICAGO, April st has just leaked
out here that combination has been
formed, or is being formed. between
the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania lines
in the East and the Chicago, Burlington
q Quincy, the Chicago, Milwaukee q
st. Paul, the Chicago & Northwestern
and the Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe
in the West, by which these companies
agree to discontinue the payment of
commissions to each others agents.
The consideration is division of the
interchange passenger business in &C
cordance with an agreement entered
into a few weeks ago, and which means
the exclusion, so far as possible, of all
other lines from participation in this
business.
Two secret meetings have been held,
one in Pittsburg and, it is believed, the
other in New York. The roads that are
to be practically boycotted by this ar
rangement are the Rock Island. the Chi
cago, st. Paul & Kansas City and the
Chicago 81 Alton in the West, and the
Grand Trunk, the Erie, the Baltimore
e. Ohio and connecting lines in the
East. 1t is plain to be seen that this is
another attempt on the part of the
Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt systems
to do away with the payment of passen-
ger commissions to ticket agents, and
they have secured the assistance of four
of the strongest road west of Chicago.
If by this deal they can force the
other lines to surrender,a peaceful solu-
ton of the commission question may
be expected, but nobody seems to an
ticipate such an outcome. at least until
after there has been hard fight. The
combination has been handled very
carefully, and it was not until To-Day
that reliable information on the subject
could be obtained. The discovery of
what has been going OH will certainly
lead to row, and it is predicted the
result will be a terrific rate war or the
abandonment of the scheme.
