THE FOREIGN EXHIBITS.
They are Delayed in Chicago
Through Railway Neglect.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Information has
reached the treasury department from
the appraiser of merchandise at the
port of Chicago that transportation
companies have failed to take away rap
idly the portion of the merchandise
at. the Worlds fair intended for expor-
tation, consequently there are now at
least 10000 packages lying in the build
ings which cannot be removed by the
3lst of December. The collector ac-
cordingly asked that the time be ex-
tended for holding the buildings as
constructive bonded warehouses, and
the exporta ton officials have agreed to
provide suitable police supervision for
the customs interests during the period
which the customs control shall be
maintained. In consideration of these
facts, the treasury department has in
structed the collector to continue in
control of the goods referred to until
further instructions are given him. It
is said this condition of things is the
result of bad faith on the part of the
railroad companies who promised to
return the goods to the saboard free if
the railroad charges were paid one way.
Now that the fair is over, they are in
different to the matter and are using
their own convenience and giving other
freight the preference

THE WILSON BILL.
Opponents Scheming to Refain the
Duty on Raw Materials.

Washington. Dec 26-There are
prospects that persons opposing free
raw material in the Wilson bill, as
COAL iron and lead ore. lumber, etc,
will concentrate their efforts to secure
changes in the bill in the Senate. Del
egations representing these various in
terests will be here during the coming
week and begin their work, Democrats,
as far as possible, being delegated to
make the protests. ]. NJ. Burke, OF
Idaho, advance guard of the lead men,
is here and will be Joined in a few
days by others representing the states
of Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and the
territory of Utah. Burke says that
free lead ore will absolutely paralyze
the mining industry of the states and
territories named. Burke was Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Idaho
in the last campaign. If the duty on
lead ore cannot be retained in part at
least, by the Wilson bill, these lead
miners will ask for the retention of
duty of cents on pig lead, reduced by
the Wilson bill to 1 cent. An effort
will be made on the part of the repres-
entatives of the several interests to
combine, so as to secure concerted ac-
ton, but whether the combination can
be effected is uncertain.

made absolutely a condition for peace,
yet the desire to terminate further
hostilities is so strong among the
Matabele warriors that many of them
are voluntarily surrendering their
arms. 1t is reported that Gambo, Lo-

of the Indunas, has yielded.

THE THREATENED STRIKE.
1t VIII Involve $500 Northern Pa
cifc Employees.

Milwaukee, Dec. 26.-The prospect is
that $500 men in the employ Of the
Northern Pacific will quit work on Jan.
1, when the reduced schedule of wages
goes into effect. When the receivers
found it impossible to arrive at an
agreement with their employees they
telesraphed tonight to all agents and
attorneys along the line Of the road
TO have lnjunctions served. The in
junction is said to be the first order of
the kind ever issued in the United
States. A somewhat similar injunction
was issued during the Ann Arbor
troubles, but not until the strike was
in progress. It appears from the Nor
them Pacific injunction that the re-
ceivers ordered a reduction in all sal
aries exceeding Sl.200 This was cheer
fully accepted. A week later the re-
ceiyers ordered a further reduction of
5 per cent. on all wages Of $50 to SIS.
and 10 per cent on SIS to 500 per
month. It is this reduction which the
employees refuse to accept.
